45. Stalker

The person who popped out of the bush was a second-year senior wearing a green tie.

He looked around and found me, and was startled and immediately summoned my summoned beast.

“Come! White grave!”

-Nyaa!

A small cat pops out of the back of his hand.

Although it was small in stature and not very helpful in battle, it was a biological weapon that was capable of slaughtering low-level monsters with its size.

As he summoned his summons, a beeping sound was heard from his artifact, and time began to flow.

But maybe he didn’t realize it, he looked at me blankly and shouted.

“what are you doing!? Are you giving up!?”

“Just a little experiment.”

“Experiment… ? What is it?”

I didn’t summon a summons, I confronted him. But he didn’t attack me directly.

Rule #2: Cadets cannot directly attack each other.

Naturally, that rule also applies to summons, no. Summoning was a rule that had to be followed.

He was gazing at me and devouring my time, but only then realized the conditions for victory and gave an order to my summons.

“oh! White grave! Break that guy’s bracelet!”

─Nyao on!

At the same time as the command, a white cat jumped and flew towards me. Judging by the way he behaves, it seems he was unfamiliar with survival because he went crazy last year.

Also, my face didn’t look familiar.

‘Theresia.’

[I know, Master]

I gently waved the back of my hand. At the same time, sparks flew out of the pattern on the back of my hand, and a sword protruded and split the body of the white cat.

─Nyaah!

“Pear, Baekmyo!”

As the senior was running to check on the injuries of my minions, I checked the time seconds engraved on the artifact.

[29:59]

‘I think it took less than a second.’

In 0.1 seconds, the number of seconds decreased despite the fact that it was a piercing blow. In other words, it meant that at least 1 second was required to use the summoned beast.

In terms of seconds, 30 minutes is 1800 seconds. That meant you could simply do 1800 hits, but… … .

‘It’s not really going to happen.’

The reason I was able to win now is because I was able to counterattack in a one-on-one situation by preparing for the other side to attack first.

If you meet several summoned beasts at the same time, it won’t flow so easily. There will be no rush from the other side first.

Having roughly summarized the results of the experiment, I approached the crying senior while holding my summoned beast in my arms.

“Senior, I’m wasting my time, but would you just give me a bracelet?”

“Black- … … What?”

“Or you have to kill the summoned beast. You wouldn’t like it, would you?”

“… … You bastard.”

Fortunately, the senior took off my bracelet and handed it to me as if he didn’t want to fight anymore. The moment I broke the bracelet, his figure was enveloped in particles of light, and then disappeared from my sight.

I immediately figured out what had happened.

‘When the bracelet is broken, it teleports to a safe place, right?’

I wanted to experiment with what would happen after 30 minutes if possible, but given enough time, there was a possibility that the pet could just recover from my injuries and run away, so I gave up.

There was no time to be nervous for 30 minutes in front of an opponent who did not know when to attack.

Beep- When I saw that the +1 mark appeared on the artifact, I summarized my immediate goal.

‘I need to find food first.’

The survival test will be held for 3 days and 2 nights.

Thanks to you, they tell me to find food and lodging on my own, but… … I didn’t think this test would be so difficult.

‘There are many fruits… If you look for it, you will find something like a food package.’

This place is a special space created by magic. There was a strong possibility that food and lodging were placed in a specific place.

And there was a high probability that the special place was a place where many children’s eyes could reach. You must be strong enough to eat, sleep, and rest comfortably.

‘About this… … .’

I prayed that I would not lose strength by meeting other 3-star summons, and I walked to the center.

* * *

—Stella, there are kids chasing behind you.

“know… … Can’t you come out on your own? Time and seconds are reduced.”

—Fuhhp, I think we should just burn this forest down. what are you worried about

Stella frowned at Ifrit’s words. This isn’t such a test, and if she sets fire to the forest like that, what will she do?

There was some resistance to fire by ministering two fire attribute summons, but it was not completely immune.

Ifrit’s fire, spread recklessly, burned even the summoner himself.

“And, I won’t call you for this exam.”

─Why!?

“Because you are too strong. Can’t you take the test?”

He said so, but the reason for not using Ifrit was self-explanatory. she stands out so much Unless you’re going to turn everyone in this forest into an enemy at the same time, you should refrain from bringing her out.

tuk.

-Oh, you’re under siege. Are you still not going to use it?

As Ifrit said, the cadets who were chasing Stella appeared one by one. The cadets who appeared from the front, the back, and all directions had mean smiles on their lips.

“Iretsu-san, I’m sorry, but I have to get out of here.”

All around Stella from all sides, they each summoned their own summons under the leadership of the leading man. Stella saw this and looked at him with a cold expression.

“That one, what’s your name?”

“Hey, are you going to get revenge?”

“No, it can’t be, can it? Is this a test or survival where you can do anything?”

Stella said so and tilted her head. She’s not the villain girl in romance novels, and she’s never crushed others with her status.

‘Prejudice is the problem.’

Stella said that bright red hair and staring eyes were bad.

“I am the Grumman of the Boeing Baron.”

“Oh yeah? Then I should tell you not to hire that baron in the future.”

“… … No, I will not retaliate.”

“Yes, I will not retaliate.”

Seeing Grumman bewildered, Stella loosened her arms and waved her hands. A ray of flame came out of the pattern engraved on the back of her hand like a whip, slashing through the summoned beasts surrounding her in an instant.

“Yeah!?”

─Kuruk!

“Ok!”

The group of one-star Summoners was wiped out in an instant, and Stella, who achieved the achievement, looked at Grumman with an expressionless expression.

“I don’t even know the strength of my opponent, but it is easy to show my strength first. Stupidity that throws away any chance to make a complete surprise. Even if it’s not retaliation, there doesn’t seem to be a place for that in the South.”

And after a while, a stream of fire once again smashed the summoners’ bracelets. At the same time, several summoners were enveloped in light particles and disappeared.

Seeing that figure, Stella looked around in all directions.

─Why?

“… … No, it doesn’t matter.”

I never told anyone else, but in fact, Stella was quite a guinea pig.

Yes. She’s lost now.

I just can’t tell anyone.

* * *

Not only Ian and Stella, but also numerous 3-star Summoners were attacked as soon as the trial began.

However, the only ones who attacked them were mostly ignorant 1st graders or 2nd graders who had gone crazy last year.

With 1-star and 2-star summons, they didn’t understand the essence of the test and thought that they could defeat 3-star summoners simply with the quantity.

Actually, the rules were also pushing them to think so.

“Huh- chasing after a lady is not a good thing to do.”

“Hey, save me… … !”

“Who’s going to think they’re trying to kill you?”

Shira burst into laughter and smashed the bracelet of the person who attacked her.

“Well… … I don’t have the confidence to control my strength— so avoid it!”

A colossal statue that exceeds several tens of meters, and weighs hundreds of thousands of tons, stomps heavily.

The moment the lump of iron that floated in the sky was accelerated by gravity and landed on the ground, the surrounding area shattered as if hit by a bomb.

After Noah confirmed that there were no people left around, he sent my summons back.

Dinoir presented an unforgettable nightmare to the cadets who followed him, and the three-star Summoners, whose names were not revealed, each put their own efforts into organizing the first- and second-star summoners.

While the three-star summoners turned the stage upside down and engaged in a one-sided slaughter – Ian was walking slowly through the forest, munching on the fruit he had just picked from the tree.

“It looks like an orange but tastes like an apple.”

While savoring the fruit with a strange texture and taste that it seems to exist on Earth, when he encounters a summoner who is aiming for him, he suppresses it within 1 second, or even 3 seconds at the longest.

Thanks to that, Ian had quite a lot of time, even though he had already faced dozens of cadets.

But Ian had an intuition that the real fight was starting soon.

‘Until now, only things that I didn’t think about came at me… … Those who have survived so far have devised their own strategies.’

Just thinking about it, what if several cadets surround Ian and aim for when he sleeps or is vigilant?

If you aim for gaps while standing vigilant, even a 3-star Summoner will inevitably collapse.

Actually, the Summoner who won the championship last year seems to have won the championship by psychologically pressing the high-ranking Summoners in that way… … .

‘If you don’t settle down or meet other kids… … It’s dangerous.’

The score was good enough. However, there were not enough barriers to defend this score. He needed a colleague to protect him in case of any contingency.

‘The best thing is De Noir-senpai or Noah… The next best thing is Stella or Sira.’

The first thing that came to mind was two people who would concede the championship for him without saying anything and two people who would fight and win first place if he asked him to win the championship because of circumstances.

In fact, for Ian, who doesn’t have many connections, he couldn’t think of anyone other than them.

crumble-.

At that moment, Ian heard a sound from beyond the bushes and immediately hid himself. And focused on the sound beyond the bushes.

“So, are you sure you’ll always be in this direction?”

“No, how the hell do you know that… … .”

“Noisy! Last year’s crazy topic… … .”

“It’s the same with you… … .”

The two of them could not find Ian and continued to move forward in a certain direction, chattering.

Overhearing the conversation, Ian confirmed that the two were seniors who participated in last year’s survival test.

And the two headed in one direction in search of something.

Sensing something, Ian followed the two of them unnoticed.
