Going Into the Game With an Instant Death Skill

By the end of the hour, I succeeded in solving a few more questions and passed the exam.

There were a lot of problems that I couldn’t even handle at all, but this was much more satisfying than I expected.

Obviously, the last meeting was of great help. Or maybe it wasn’t even half-threshing.

“Oh, it’s totally ruined.”

“What’s so difficult? They say that they only show what is in class.”

“Yeah. Did you really mean to solve the last problem?”

After the exam was over, the screams and groans of the students filled the classroom.

As I got up from my seat, I saw Leah just passing by and talked to her.

“Hey, Leah.”

“···········?”

“There are a lot of parts that you picked up and taught me last time.”

“So what?”

“Thank you. Thanks to you, I was fine.”

Despite the thanksgiving, she left the way she was going. Anyway, personality.

I approached Karen and asked.

“How are you? Did you see me?”

“Anyway? I solved all but three problems first.”

Compared to me, Caranne was also good at theory studies.

I was going to ask Eska too, but after seeing the expression on her face, I gave up.

“Escar, how are you?”

“Ugh, just what…”

But instead of me, Kane asked.

Ka-Ann wasn’t usually good at things like this.

I quickly changed the topic of conversation and left the classroom with the two of them.

After some rest, it was the next exam.

***

The magic theory I was most concerned about passed safely, and other subjects were also pretty good.

It was Leah who showed off her overwhelming ability in most of the practical tests, and Caan was also considerable.

The last day of the three-day semester exam.

The last test subject was face-to-face combat.

“Ha, the exam is finally over with this.”

“But what kind of test is it that you leave the training ground behind and watch it in the basement? Was there a training ground in the basement as well?”

“I heard it from a senior I know, and they said that if it’s Professor Locale’s exam, I’ll have to be really prepared…”

It was the sound of a group of nearby students talking on the way to the exam hall.

The testing ground for the interpersonal combat test was not the training ground where classes were held, but the basement of Elphon. In a different area from the underground place where the monster exploration class was held.

I was a little curious as to what kind of test it was, so I could see it in the basement.

Even more so because it was announced that they would take a joint test with the swordsmanship class just like in the exchange class.

“I don’t think it’s possible to play a regular match, Rigon.”

“I know.”

Since the class of the Swordsmanship Department, which took the joint test, was none other than Legon’s class, Henry’s class, they were moving together.

I looked around the stone wall, listening to the chirping of Lygon and Car-Ann.

‘How wide is the basement here?’

Arriving through the dark underground passage, the test site was like a large cavity.

The assistant professors who were waiting there first divided the students into two groups and sorted them.

Car-Ann, Esca, and Bayon were all in the same group as me, and only Lee Gon became a different group.

I looked at the scene and thought. Is it like a team game? Is it a man-to-man battle?

After dividing all the students like that, they started to hand out something. It was a bracelet.

“Wear all the bracelets on your wrist. Soon the professor will come and explain how to take the test.”

What bracelet?

“What? Can you feel the magic?”

Caran looked around at the bracelet she had received and murmured.

As the saying goes, the bracelet was not a simple thing, it was a magic tool. I still don’t know what it is used for.

And since the color of the bracelet was different from the opposing group, I wondered if there was a purpose to distinguish the team.

Anyway, as I said, while wearing the bracelet and waiting, Professor Loquel and the Professor of the Swordsmanship Department arrived.

After the assistant professor finished checking the number of people one last time, Professor Loquel magically amplified his voice and opened his mouth.

“This is an underground space that was initially designed for some purpose by Elphon, but it has been decimated and is now being neglected. The face-to-face combat test this semester will be held here.

The professor shifted his gaze toward the assistant professors.

Then one of the assistant professors came forward and handed out bracelets to the two professors, just like us.

Professor Loquel wore the bracelet on his wrist and continued speaking.

“This cavity is the center of the underground space, and as you can see, there are a total of four passages in the east, west, south, and north directions. The path you have passed up to here is the east passage.”

“············”.

“The test method is simple. When the test starts, me and Professor Gaon of the Swordsmanship Faculty will move to the end of the south and north aisles respectively. Take the bracelet.”

······huh?

At that, the students groaned.

It was a natural reaction. Taking the bracelet from the professor was absurd.

“Of course, rest assured that conditions and restrictions will be imposed to the extent possible. Also, as I said, you are a team, not an individual. You can use all possible means and methods. You can take the professor’s bracelet you obtained and go to the cavity located at the end of the west aisle. If they move, the entire team will be guaranteed a grade of at least a B+, regardless of their contribution.”

“······································································!

At the professor’s last words, the students roared once again.

“In addition to taking the professor’s bracelet, it is also possible to steal the bracelet of another person. Taking the bracelet of the other person and moving to the west passage is also a way to avoid failing. Of course, the test is a relative evaluation, the more the number of bracelets stolen You will get a high grade. Anyone who does not get a bracelet or loses a bracelet by the end of the exam will fail, with no exceptions.”

The exam lasts a total of two hours. Even if all members of one team are eliminated, the test will end immediately.

And only one team can get the professor’s bracelet and get a guaranteed score.

Even if two bracelets were obtained, only the team that moved to the west passage first could benefit.

‘··········The exam is so drastic?’

Stealing each other’s bracelets. I never thought it would be a test like this.

Anyway, the rules of the exam that Professor Locale explained were roughly that.

“There are no limiting rules other than what I’ve explained. So let’s do our best.”

After finally explaining the words, Professor Locale left with Professor Gaon as predicted.

“I will start the test in five minutes. Until then, combat is prohibited, and movement is possible from now on.”

An assistant professor said to the students who were standing still.

And the assistant professors started to scatter ball-shaped magic tools all over the passage. It’s probably an observer’s magic to keep an eye on the test progress.

On the other hand, the embarrassed students began to spread the distance while watching the other team’s eyes.

‘her.’

I laughed out loud because it was a bit ridiculous.

This face-to-face combat test was completely different from the practical subjects I’ve seen so far.

It’s a team battle that’s just like a real battle, are you really making new freshmen take this kind of test?

“It’s going to be fun, but it’s a pity that Rigon and the team split up. It would have been better if we were all on the same team.”

Car-Ann glared at Rigon and Escar, standing on the opposing team.

Amid the awkward silence, someone on the same team murmured.

“…aren’t you crazy? Why are you two on that team?”

It was clear who the two meant. Lygon and Leah.

The fact that the two seniors in each department were grouped into the same team was a strange balance, even I thought.

Instead, other top-ranking students seem to have more of this team…

“·······Everyone wants to hear my story?!”

Then someone shouted loudly.

He was a student on the same team as me, and naturally, my eyes were drawn to him.

“There’s nothing good about fighting between us right now. That’s what the professors want. Did you hear that? If you lose the bracelet, you’re immediately eliminated. Do you agree?”

“············”.

“But if you get the professor’s bracelet, at least one team can avoid all failing points. And there wasn’t a rule that both teams couldn’t work together to face the professor. Isn’t that right, assistant professor?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

An assistant professor standing nearby nodded with interest.

“Did everyone hear it? So, let’s work together and take the bracelets from the professors first. If we all work together, we’ll be able to do this easily. Maybe the professors wouldn’t expect both teams to come together at once? And we’ll fight after that. How about you?”

It was a pretty neat situation.

As he said, the profit to be gained by fighting among students is less than taking the professor’s bracelet.

If so, the opinion is to join forces to get the professor’s bracelet and postpone the fight to the next.

The students generally agreed. First of all, there will be a feeling of wanting to avoid fighting as much as possible.

Next, the eyes of the students naturally turned to two people, Leah and Leegon.

Leah frowned at the gaze focused on her and said.

“Why are you looking at me? I was going to take the professor’s bracelet anyway, so do whatever you want.”

She strode first into the north passage. Professor Locale was on the move.

Rigon looked at her back and said.

“Then let’s do that first? Let’s all go.”

So it was decided.

Students from both teams started moving together to the north aisle where Professor Loquel was.

Semester Exam (2)

“Hey, what do you think?”

I could hear a group of students from the same team walking side by side in front of me chattering.

“I don’t think even that locale professor would be embarrassed if he rushed around like this, huh?”

“More than that, it’s after you get the professor’s bracelet. It’s going to be a total mess…”

Looking at the atmosphere, it seemed that it was already the norm to get a bracelet from the professor.

If there are such a large number of people, you must think that even a professor cannot handle it.

But could the professor really not have anticipated a development in which the students would work together?

‘I don’t think it’s going to be that easy.’

At the end of the passage where everyone rushed in, Professor Loquel was standing there waiting.

“Hmm.”

Prof. Loquel looked around the students gathered at the common entrance and spoke quietly.

“I see. You made a reasonable decision.”

I was convinced by the look on his face. Professor Locale was also imagining this case.

“There was no rule that said different teams couldn’t cooperate. So there’s no problem, Professor?”

The student who was the leader stepped forward and asked him carefully.

A small smile appeared on the professor’s lips.

“Of course there is no problem.”

Then he suddenly drew his hand into the air.

Then, one line on the floor was drawn as the boundary between the professor and the students.

Amidst the questionable gazes of the students, the professor said.

“The rules are simple. Either way, I’ll give the bracelet to the first student to cross this line.”

line?

The way to get the bracelet suggested by the professor was very simple.

While the students, bewildered because it was so simple, looked at each other, one student ran out first.

Quang!

Then, without being able to take a few steps, he floated in the air and rolled on the floor violently.

The professor, who simply deflected the students with shockwave magic, continued.

“Of course it won’t be easy, but I’ll only use three types of magic. Let’s do our best.”

As soon as those words were finished, Leah was the next to act.

After raising her magic power to the point where her hair rose, she fired lightning magic at the professor.

Don’t fall for it!

The thunderbolt, which spread with great force, was simply blocked by the professor’s shield.

I guessed her thoughts.

‘Are you trying to quickly consume the three types of magic limit count?’

If you know what kind of magic you will use, you will be able to respond accordingly.

Now that shockwave magic and force field magic have been performed, there is only one magic left.

Whoops!

At that time, the students jumped towards the line at once, but they were all bounced back by the shock wave the professor fired.

The students who were thrown out because of controlling the power got up quickly, but no one came close to the line.

After several attempts simply failed, someone shouted.

“Magicians cover you with magic from behind! Spread out while defending and jump in at once!”

okay. That would be the best.

I didn’t stay still, but I used attack magic in moderation.

Meanwhile, the students of the School of Swordsmanship, who were watching the timing, rushed once again. But······.

pop! Whoops!

The professor defended all the flying magic, but deflected the students one by one.

The student’s work did not distract the professor’s mind in the slightest.

“It’s still just pushing the numbers. Let’s strategize.”

The students looked at the professor with tired expressions at the overwhelming difference.

I was a little crazy. Did you really think that even a professor could win if they really pushed the numbers?

Of course, the professor looked after him enough even now.

If you really wanted to block it properly, you could block the approach itself by widening the force field.

“What, this. It’s just impossible…”

However, the students had lost their will, and no one tried to approach the line any more.

What followed was a strange silence.
