47 – 10. Common survival middle school… buy?

It must have been about 6 hours since the test started.

Most of the students who had not yet grasped the situation dropped out, quickly hid, or groups of students confronted each other.

Confrontation because words are good, de facto lull.

It was a time when everyone relaxed a little and took turns resting.

“……What is that?”

“what?”

“Suddenly, letters in the sky…?”

<Six hours after the start of the test, the curtain narrows!>

<Remember, you can’t hide forever!>

“Is it getting narrower?”

“Hey, there! The veil…!”

A blue curtain that covered the entire Romance Academy.

The thing that everyone didn’t pay much attention to suddenly started moving.

It wasn’t fast paced. Because they were superhuman, they were slower than people running lightly.

There was no blockage or pain when touching the curtain. A handful of students only touched their arms or legs to the tent, but they passed through without incident.

but.

Kwajik!!

“My, my ball…”

“Is it broken… is it broken?”

“Student Travis, you are eliminated.”

“I-I can’t do this…”

Only ‘ball’ was different.

It was a blue curtain that allowed anything to pass through, but the ball given to the student was not allowed.

I accidentally spilled the ball, I couldn’t properly respond to the narrowing curtain, I didn’t know because I was sleeping.

News of the Veil destroying the ball quickly spread.

It was early morning, not late at night, because there were many eyewitnesses who saw students outside the curtain drop out.

“Damage! Go to the center unconditionally!”

“Isn’t it getting smaller every six hours…?”

“After all, the academy is the answer!”

That’s why countless students began flocking to the center of the floating city, the Romance Academy.

The students who fled to the tent, the students who were in a safe area even if it decreased again, and the students who were near the academy.

I made sure to go to a safe place, worrying about the curtain that would shrink again.

Because of that–

Kwaaang!!

“Damn it, what is that again?”

“… Liu, let’s retreat. They seem to be from the north, but there are a lot of them.”

“sh*t!”

──Twelve hours after the start of the test, the time the veil shrank once more.

A fierce battle was going on between the students trying to keep them out of the academy and those trying to break through.

Students from all over the academy tried to cross the walls and doors of the academy, running as a group or individually.

“Stop it! You can’t let everyone in!”

“If you hold on, the veil will take care of you!”

The walls and doors of the Romance Academy are high and hard to keep out outsiders, but they are not as good for defense as the citadel.

The reason why students can be stopped like this is because students bring furniture or objects from their respective bases and build barricades to block them as one body.

How could the students in the academy be united like that?

“Princess! The mage and the rich man are stepping down!”

“Okay, then the psychic will be leaving soon. Please tell my brother.”

“yes!”

Just as students banded together for survival, there is a clear focal point between the prince and the princess in the academy.

It’s called survival, but there’s still a lot of time left, and there are enemies in front of you who want to enter the academy right away.

It didn’t take long for the royal brother and sister, who had charisma to make people follow them and a good image, gather students.

As a result, the current situation is reached.

‘… … So far, no problem.’

Princess Kim Eun-ha sat in a chair for a while and muttered to herself.

With Lucas Arthur and Liu Yan at the forefront of the students backing out, she too was able to relax and rest.

Instead, a much larger group came, but there was no need to worry as it was a group that came after chaos rather than someone becoming the center.

There were a lot of magic students gathered around Lucas, so they couldn’t be vigilant, and if it wasn’t for the barricade because of Liu Yan’s dagger, it would have been about a step away.

The princess let out a weary breath and suddenly looked in a certain direction.

‘Namgoong Min.’

Thanks to his words, she and the prince were able to take the test without panic.

No matter how many times I thought about it, her ability was so outstanding that she ran directly to Namgoong-min’s base far away from the academy.

‘I don’t think a warrior would do that… … .’

It was after his fortune-telling and stronghold had already been razed to the ground by the Abel Legion.

It’s a shame because he, the <Hero>, didn’t want to get out of there, but if she had fought properly, she would have been eliminated from there.

“I will leave this place to you.”

“Yes! Go in, Princess!”

“You worked hard!”

After finishing my thoughts, I hurriedly moved to the imperial residence.

Everywhere students run with furniture and objects, and commotion is heard everywhere.

As usual, magic jobs set up a tent on a high wall, non-combat jobs move all kinds of things and deliver news, and combat jobs constantly block the offensive.

The princess inadvertently laughed at the sight she had seen somewhere.

“Experience in the labyrinth helps.”

The princess herself participated only at the end, but it was said that the freshmen led by Namgoong-min showed such an orderly appearance in the maze at the entrance ceremony.

Thanks to that experience, it was easy to divide the roles according to students’ occupations.

Not all freshmen were with Namgoong-min at that time, but the students who were with him told other students about their experiences at that time.

‘The remaining time… … About 11 hours.’

If it’s long, it’s a long time, but if you block it like this, it’s enough time to endure.

However, you must keep in mind

This test… … that it is survival.

‘The catastrophe will come in a few hours.’

ball. An object that symbolizes life in this survival.

The ball with the student’s name engraved on it is now hidden somewhere by most students.

Because there was no ‘keep the ball with you’ among the rules.

Rather, there were many cases where students bumped into or fell and broke the ball they were holding.

“Princess! The prince is calling.”

“Thank you. I’ll be right there.”

The prince, noticing this, gave an order to hide his ball on his own.

As long as it’s survival, not cooperation, someone could have destroyed it if I collected the balls.

Even the princess, who was walking like this right away, noticed a number of clumsily hidden balls.

‘There’s no problem right now.’

If the offensive is fierce like now, most of the students will be concerned about the enemies in front of them, so they won’t worry too much about the hidden balls.

However, if the time limit is reduced and the offensive is reduced, infighting will arise.

The princess was well aware of that, and had no intention of stopping it.

Kwadeuk.

Check the name written on the ball that caught your eye, and drop out the unimportant student as it is.

I don’t know who eliminated them anyway, and it wouldn’t be strange if a few people were eliminated.

If too many dropouts, everyone will run away, but a small number of dropouts will motivate the students to stop the enemy.

After walking a bit more, the princess, using her hands appropriately, opened the door on the top floor of the dorm.

“I’m here.”

“Yes. What about the front door?”

“Mr. Lucas and Mr. Liu backed out. Maybe Mr. Lane as well.”

“okay…….”

The prince, who was sitting alone on the top floor of the royal residence, spread out a map of the romance academy and drew all sorts of marks.

There are four large doors that allow access to the academy, and eight small ones.

Among them, he drew a circle on the main gate, the largest, and put down his pen.

“……Eunha, how long do you think you can last?”

“Five hours at most. It’s over when the curtain narrows for the third time.”

“After that, we’ll have to worry about our lives first.”

The princess wasn’t the only one who thought about infighting.

Rather, it was Prince Kim Seong-il who first noticed and used it.

“In survival, groups are bound to collapse.”

“Still, you have to form a group to survive, right?”

“Right. In the end, it’s a matter of who betrays first.”

In survival, 1st place is not one team, but only one person.

Nevertheless, the contradiction of grouping students for survival.

And the prince who created the biggest contradiction smiled.

“Let’s do it in 4 hours.”

“What about the exact contents?”

“I don’t need any other students. Just you and I are enough… Open the southern doors all at once and make the academy crowded. In the meantime, we hide well and ambush is enough.”

“It’s good.”

If it’s a group that will collapse anyway, it’d be best to use it most efficiently.

The princess looked down at the prince who was concentrating on the map again as he muttered.

‘It’s perfect if my older brother is first and I’m second.’

There are two reasons why the two royal siblings, whose succession has already been confirmed, entered the romance academy.

One is that the title of a graduate of the Romance Academy will be of great help in running the empire in the future.

The two are because the unified Korean Empire is the biggest sponsor of the romance academy.

In order to maintain and increase its influence, the Korean Empire sent the next emperor and his younger sister to the academy.

‘Then the status of the Korean Empire will rise sufficiently.’

After all, it is the same context as the entrance exam. When excellent princes and princesses show their abilities at the romance academy, it becomes the status of the Korean Empire.

Moreover, it is also attractive to get acquainted with the top class of each country.

Of course, if they didn’t have that kind of ability, the prince and the princess would only be laughed at, but since they were from <the imperial family>, they had confidence.

I’m sure there’s no better motive than them.

‘… … Namgoong Min.’

Is that why he is more interested in him who has pushed her and has become the second seat?

Since he had already proven his abilities through the assassination scandal, the princess coveted him even more.

If such a fortune teller serves the imperial family, the Korean Empire will prosper even more in the future.

“……Older brother, what happened to the <mediator> you requested from the imperial family?”

“Ah, if that’s the case, they said they’d come around next week. They said they had something to talk about with Namgoong-Min.”

“yes.”

Although he was originally called the <mediator> to keep her secret, Namgung-min has already won the trust of the princess.

If so, wouldn’t it be okay to twist the promise a little by having them work for the imperial family?

“Hmm, come to think of it, Namgoong Min said he was eliminated.”

“The hero hit the ball.”

“It’s a pity, but at the same time, it’s also fortunate. If such a fortuneteller were alive, he would have become a very threatening enemy.”

“It’s like that too.”

The prince said that he was too afraid to be eliminated because he was very threatening, even though he regretted his ability.

When the princess, who was slightly sympathetic, tries to talk more about Namgoong-min.

The sky covered with a blue curtain began to glow.

“Is that…?”

<There are 300 survivors left. Displays the number of people remaining from the current time!>

<From now on, the names of the dropouts will be displayed in the air!>

“300 students… There were about 3000 freshmen. It’s a lot less.”

“Wait a minute, more than that, the dropouts are displayed…?”

Until now, the dropouts whose balls were broken had only been approached by an academy official from somewhere to inform them of their elimination.

Are you making a notice to the sky now?

what does that mean–

<Eliminated: Leonardo Dynamis (survived at 12 hours and 48 minutes), Kenichi Sato (survived at 12 hours and 48 minutes), Lee Sang-cheol (survived at 12 hours and 48 minutes), Charlie Jr. (survived at 12 hours and 48 minutes), Rafael Martina (survived at 12 hours and 48 minutes) survival)… … … >

“Raphael… Martina?”

Along with dozens of names, the very familiar name of <Saint> caught my eye.

<Eliminated: Seongil Kim (survived 12 hours and 49 minutes)>

“……what?”

Sigh.

“Prince Seongil Kim, you are eliminated.”

“……I don’t know who it was, but I ate one.”

“Brother.”

“Please win the championship instead of me, Eunha.”

Academy officials who opened the door and took Kim Seong-il out.

Left alone in the room for an instant, the princess blankly stared at the door the prince had left.

“……Now, wait. If that was known to all students——”

──After realizing the seriousness of the situation, he hurriedly looked out the window.

“Is the prince… eliminated?”

“More than that, if it’s Dynamis, he’s my friend…! He’s inside the academy, so why was he eliminated!?”

“I-I have to go. My balls!”

The sudden dropout of the prince, who was the center of defense.

And dozens of students who drop out at once.

This was enough to collapse the wire.

“Defense is weakening! Everyone rush!!”

“Wow!!!”

Students run to find their ball, and those who were only looking for a chance move.

As the students guarding the barricade disappeared, students outside quickly broke through the defense line.

Each other eliminates each other, the group collapses in an instant, and everyone becomes enemies.

The princess who watched the whole scene.

“…ha ha ha.”

I laughed like it was ridiculous.

*

“Very nice.”

“……If this is…… will it work……?”

“It’s more than enough. By the way, you managed to bring the prince’s ball.”

“The location……because I was informed……the students who guarded it……was weak.”

“Even so, they are the closest aides to the prince. Well, since they were recently replaced, could it be that they don’t get along well?”

“……but……why……”

“Why don’t you immediately drop the ball as soon as you find it, collect it and break it? That’s obvious.”

“……is it obvious?”

“That’ll only add to the confusion. It has a different impact than dropping out one by one.”

“is it……….”

“That’s it.”

“Then……why did the saint……surprise…?”

“Personal revenge.”
