chapter 38
38 – Relocation Test (6)
“What are you?”
A Maltese or something is barking. Noisy. If I feel like it, I want to give it a beating.
But it couldn’t be done.
Idel.
If you want to beat that guy’s group whose scores are increasing by the minute, you can’t make a mistake.
Zernya directed her anger towards the two golems instead. The enormous etheric energy instantly split the rock and shook the heavens and earth.
[600 Points added!]
[2. Zernia von Adelbein: 2100 points]
A smile bloomed on Zernia’s lips.
‘With this…’ ‘We have regained the upper hand.’
Currently, Idel’s group score is in the late 5000s. If you calculate the points lost per head, it was as if she had turned the tables again.
“Hey! “That game was mine!”
The boy came screaming.
“Not a single one is left behind…” ! “Did you really have to take it all away to feel relieved?”
“What are you saying?”
Zernya stepped on her fallen golem and climbed up. She looked down at the boy with a cold gaze.
“Whoever catches it first is the owner.”
“You bastard. “I didn’t like it from the first time I saw it.”
Martus gritted his teeth and pointed at Zernia.
It was slightly unpleasant.
Who do you think I am and how dare you play with your finger?
“What was your last name?”
Zernia asked in confusion.
“You know what to do?”
“Yes, that’s right. Even if you know it, it’s probably a useless last name. “There won’t be any prosperous family.”
“…… “Do you really want to die?”
The boy’s emotions were easy to read. It’s the face of a bug who hasn’t learned how to manage his facial expressions at all.
“Foolish.”
The Federation was an equal society on the surface, but there was invisible discrimination based on origin or location.
One trace of them was his last name.
“You’re from a border planet, right?”
“This guy….”
“I guess it was the right answer.”
Zernia giggled.
“How do you feel about being born and raised in a barren land? Um, wait a minute. Now that I think about it, there’s no need to say it. Is it because of the influence of foreign media? “I heard there are a lot of mental problems.”
“This b*tch!”
“Actually, originally, I didn’t really believe it either. Instead of such superstitions, you should believe in science. But, looking at you, it makes me think that what I grew up hearing wasn’t superstition, right? “It’s so amazing.”
The provocation continues. The more they insulted him, the more dark clouds appeared on Matus’s face.
What finally appeared on his face.
“What a b*tch.”
Anger.
Martus rushed forward, dragging his ionized greatsword. It was a considerable level of swordsmanship.
But in essence, it was just a lump of ions that looked sloppy.
Zernya curled up the corners of his mouth and jumped up on the spot.
Zernia, who was spinning in the air like an excellent gymnast, landed on the lawn with perfect posture.
“What? “Did you attack me?”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“Did you know that it was said in advance that students should not attack each other? “Oh, you broke the rule?”
“I didn’t attack you. “You attacked the golem underneath you.”
“Hmm. “Just one excuse.”
It was a time when Zernia and Matus were continuing their fierce war of nerves.
Two students were running towards the empty space where the two people were.
One was a tall girl with brown wavy hair, and the other was a girl with dark green short hair.
The two threw themselves into the vacant lot where Zernia was.
Then the ground vibrated with a crackling sound.
“Quick! “Run away quickly, everyone!!”
“If we keep doing this, we’ll all die!!”
What appeared after that was a dark-colored scorpion, lizard, or centipede.
Or human.
A monster that looked like a mixture of a reptile and a primate was slowly crawling out, radiating fraud.
“f*ck… What is that again…… ?”
“You wouldn’t know it if you saw it, right? “It’s a golem.”
“That’s what a golem looks like?”
Martus reflexively looked away. The sensation of her stomach turning over extends from her abdomen to her throat.
As I retched and said, “Wow,” A few drops of oily saliva fell onto the grass.
“Wow, what is that?”
A boy wearing sunglasses had already joined us. He looked at the monster, scratched his cheek and said:
“So cool?”
Looking at the students gagging, Zernia thought.
Fools.
She grinned and adjusted her sword.
“It’s a pretty big guy. If I catch it, will you give me 1,000 points?”
***
Teachers’ steps have become faster.
“Quickly deploy an S-class prosecutor!”
“If things stay like that, all the top students will die!”
What was caught on the broadcast monitor was a bizarre-looking monster.
It looked solid as if it were made of steel, but it was not artificial.
In the first place, the school had never made or imported such a golem.
There was no time for indecision.
Soon, prosecutors hired by the school entered the battlefield.
“There is a problem!”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s a barrier! “There’s the same barrier!”
An incomprehensible repulsive force was repelling swordsmen trying to enter the Dodeka Forest.
It was the same even if I swung it with a plasma sword, attacked it with a spare golem, or fired a rail gun bullet.
It is solid.
But it has no form.
Teachers either looked dumbfounded or got angry, like old religious people who first encountered the heliocentric theory.
The money of dozens of prosecutors hired to catch the monster that suddenly appeared evaporated in an instant.
The grade director spoke calmly in front of the teachers who didn’t know what to do.
“The situation is not at its worst yet. Fortunately, there are A-class prosecutors and an S-class prosecutor dispatched to the scene in the forest. Let’s try to contact them as much as possible and ask for their support.”
Luckily, the relay monitor was still working.
You can view students’ situations in real time.
Furthermore, the fact that the monitor is working means that information can be freely transmitted through electronic devices.
When one teacher realized this, he took out his screen phone and typed on the keyboard.
It was that moment.
Wow! And the teacher’s wrist flew off as he tried to press the touchpad.
And at the same time, one of the monitors that was relaying changed to ‘no signal’ and transmission was stopped.
“aaahhh-!!”
“Mr. Smith!”
The grade director barely helped the teacher who was about to faint.
The scared female teacher also screamed. She had her right eye blown out.
This was the result that occurred as soon as an attempt was made to contact students using a holographic chip implanted in the cornea.
Just like that, one more relay monitor went off.
“Damn it, everyone, don’t try to contact the inside!”
Four people rushed to the two injured teachers and administered first aid. Because they had served in the military, they responded calmly even in this situation.
“You two, hurry to the hospital! “Mr. Karen, please write a poem with me from now on.”
“I already wrote it.”
Kendra held out a piece of paper. Kendra, who was watching Karen by her side, felt her head pounding.
“… “You wrote it really quickly.”
“I expected it from the moment I heard about the barrier. By the way… What do you plan to do from now on?”
As soon as Teacher Karen asked that question, someone burst open the door and came in. It was a driver waiting outside.
He shouted under his breath.
“The barrier has disappeared!”
“Really?!”
“Yes, absolutely! And then I found a boy with black hair and golden eyes at the entrance of the forest!”
A boy with black hair and golden eyes.
“… No way!”
Kendra was startled and ran outside.
However, when she entered the entrance of the forest accompanied by her knights, no one was seen.
However, only one footprint remained, as if it had returned to the mountain path.
***
[— Subquest: Removing the veil cast by Maxwell’s incarnation]
[— I received 3000 Pron as an achievement reward!]
Ever since I realized that the golems were avoiding me, I had predicted that things would turn out this way.
So, as soon as I parted ways with Rustilla and the others, I returned the way I came and shattered the barrier at the entrance.
And now we are going back again.
At that time, Cartesia spoke to her.
[“I don’t know what kind of guy he is, but he’s really arrogant.”]
That’s what I’m saying.
If he was someone who could strike a barrier that would split with one swing of a caliper, it means he would not be an opponent for Cartesia.
The only problem was that I really didn’t know who it was.
In terms of ‘foreign news’ novels, it is now a prequel. There is no framework for the story.
Nevertheless, it was Darwin’s army that always caused the first accident.
The Maxwell kids like to make a big splash, but they don’t do petty things like this.
By the time I finished thinking, I was able to find Seti and Rustilla.
Fortunately, both seemed fine.
“Hey, idiot!”
“Oh my… Tsk… !”
Seti waved her hand cheerfully, and Lustila shrugged her shoulders as soon as she saw me.
What, where are you hurt?
Seti’s expression was too bright to ask.
It didn’t seem like anything special, so I decided to tell you about the urgent matter first.
“Didn’t you hear something from the north?”
“Well. The sound of golems running? More than that, look at this. “Rustilla carried it.”
“Rustilla is really amazing. Anyway… Don’t do that now. “We have to go upstairs.”
“Why are you like this? What’s going on?”
“Uh. “If it weren’t for Lou Stilla, she might have some problems to solve.”
It was a time of competition. I encouraged her by slowly pushing Lustila on her back.
I could probably handle it on my own, but now I had to take Rustilla with me for two reasons.
First. To free Rustila from her parents.
Second. In some cases, there may be someone who can completely rob even an A-level prosecutor.
“… Rustilla?”
“Huh? Uh? Huh? Why?”
“Didn’t you hear that we should go?”
“Uh… Yes, I heard it. Yes, I heard you clearly. Therefore… I hope I don’t push it too much…….”
She then jumped out as if she had never stopped.
“You’re still quick on your feet.”
“If you understand, run quickly too. “Shouldn’t it be just one serving?”
I was pushed on Seti’s back and chased Rustilla. Of course, he was planning to hurry anyway.
So we arrived at a large open space to the north.
There were six students there, including Rustilla, and ten prosecutors invited from outside.
They were facing a reptilian monster that was 10 meters tall.
One of the prosecutors looked at us and screamed.
“Don’t come-!!”
Phew!
The swordsman soon fell down after being struck by a flying poisonous needle.
