Chapter 116 – Before the Strongest in Year 1 ( 3 )
[The first match will be a match between 1st year class a and 1st year class b! ]
[Before the match, let’s guide you through today’s match! ]
Chijik-!
With the booming voice of Bernard Shaw, the illusionary scene spread out in the sky turns into a square screen and reflects the scenery of a certain place.
Whoa—!
A view looking down like a strong wind blowing.
Even from a distance, two buildings that look like ‘castles’ stand on the cliffs at both ends with a long road (bridge).
[Named ‘Kill the King!’ It’s a game! ]
[Each class is divided into two teams and located in one of the castles! ]
[When the person designated as the ‘King’ is eliminated from the opposing team by attacking or defending, the eliminated team wins! ]
King kill game.
The game itself was very simple.
Members of each team are located in the castle and go to the opponent’s castle to kill the king.
“The king should be Hiro…?”
“Of course! Hiro is the strongest among us, isn’t he? Hard!”
Ahyeon, who saw the one with the word “King” Written on it among the three capsules in front of her, looked at Hiro and asked, and Hyeji Hong answered in a voice, “Why are you asking such a question?”
“No. I think it would be better for Ahyeon to do it.”
“Huh? My… Me?”
Hiro’s answer gave Ah-hyun a puzzled look.
“Hmm.. Why?”
“Just in case.”
That is such an unkind answer.
However, Hong Hye-ji, who had already become accustomed to Hiro’s conversational style, knew what that meant.
“You can’t… Do you think you might get hit?”
When Hong Hye-ji asked with a puzzled face, Hiro quietly nodded her head.
“What… You’re a monster who can even catch a Death Knight, but you think you might be defeated? What’s the point of talking about it, but Hiro, you’re already at the level of nonsense at the student level?”
“…”
Hyeji Hong was right.
Even if you brought all the 2nd and 3rd graders, let alone the 1st graders, there was no student who could beat the Death Knight. Although Hyeji Hong had her own buff, it was only possible because she had Hiro’s basic base.
Such Hiro was recalling the possibility that he might be defeated by the other person.
“Well, that’s true. To be honest, there’s a reason. Ahyeon has elemental powers, so after serving as the king, if you wait with me at the top of the castle, your safety will increase even more.”
“Thanks.”
With one word from Hiro thanking her for following her own opinion.
[ Ruler! Then all the players on the pitch! Please board the capsule! ]
Broadcaster Bernard Shaw’s voice at the start of the match resonated throughout the hall.
Jerk- jerk-
Six students stood on top of the stadium in front of the slowly open capsule.
“Heh! Kim Hiro! You better be prepared this time! You’ll be surprised to see how much I’ve prepared?!”
The enemy Sena, who was arrogantly crossing her arms across from her, raises her hand and points at Hiro, shouting in a triumphant voice.
“Even if I’m ready, I’m completely robbed by Hiro, so what?”
“What…What?! It’s different this time?!”
“Yes~ try hard~ Our class president will destroy them all anyway!”
“Awesome!!”
The fight begged Hiro, but Sena, excited by Hong Hye-ji’s drugging voice next to her, lay down in the red capsule dedicated to the ‘king’ in front of her with an angry face.
“Isn’t it too no..Teasing?”
“What’s wrong? The enemy is also elemental and melee is a gem disease, so if you get excited and run wild, we’re thankful that it’s easy to catch!”
Hong Hye-ji provoked her enemy Sena not simply to quarrel with her, but to deliberately provoke her arrogant and nervous personality. In the first place, Hong Hye-ji, who was looking at her opponent’s background, could not touch the heir of her teenage family, the enemy family, for no reason.
“I will win.. I will win.. I will win.. For sure!”
The enemy Sena, who was so furious, glared at her Hiro before boarding her capsule.
“Let’s do it.”
“Yes!”
“Go for it! Let’s win!”
Subsequently, she boarded the Hirone semi-power capsule.
Geeing—..!
“Whoa..”
As soon as she lays her body down, the top cover of the capsule gradually closes and her vision begins to darken.
Beep-beep-beep-
As the body is fitted into a cold metal plate in the form of a human, colorful sensory circuits approach and attach to the skin.
[Beep… Beep… After a while, consciousness disappears. ]
[ This is the device connection process, so don’t panic. ]
The moment the goggles came down from above and covered the eyes and the top of the head along with the sound of the machine coming from the device.
Take away—
As the vision goes out, a sensation of rising up gradually fills the whole body.
10 seconds and 30 seconds like that.. When about a minute passed, the sensation returned from her fingertips and toes.
Widely-..!
Hiro reflexively landed lightly.
“Ah..!”
The air inside the stuffy capsule is different.
Whoops—
As the wind blows, I hold his hair with my hand and check the same team member next to me.
“Woo-wook.. Woo-weeek..”
“I’m sorry..”
We see Hong Hye-ji, who is vomiting on her stomach, and Ah-yeon, who staggers while holding her forehead as if slightly dizzy.
Above Ahyeon’s head, there was a red letter “King” Floating.
‘I have to start right away.’
The moment he saw that, Hiro let go of his momentary embarrassment and immediately grabbed hold of the brick railing in front of him with his hand.
Dig-!
“I’ll be back!”
With a single cry, Hiro leaps over the railing on the top floor.
Whoops—!!
Although it is a castle, it is not a huge building, but only 5 stories high.
Of course, even that height was high enough to be dangerous if a normal person fell.
Koo-ung-..!!
“Suck-!”
Hiro, who has the ability to enhance, quickly bounced off the ground, gathering magic in his legs.
Dig—!
Without the slightest resistance, it rushed like a bullet using recoil.
Tadadak!!
The scenery that runs like crazy and passes by quickly.
The only thing between the castle and the castle is a straight stone bridge.
Shoot it-…
And on either side of the bridge was an ocean of endless depth.
It was a height that seemed to tell them that if they fell off the bridge, they would definitely be eliminated.
Whoops—!
Even so, Hiro runs toward the other side’s castle without slowing down at all on the narrow bridge.
Hyeon-rang, my homeroom teacher, had already connected me once in the name of checking the status when connecting to a virtual reality device, so I was aware of the topography.
‘I’m going to finish it right away..!’
Hiro had the idea of making a one-handed charge using his strength.
The reason he asked not to make himself king was because of the expectation that he might be eliminated during the charge.
Roar—!
‘Flame?!’
While running along the highway, Hiro hesitated at the sound of rapidly flying flames and raised the sword face above himself to take a defensive stance.
The flame attack itself was expected because the opponent had a fire-type skill, Jeok Sena, but the speed of the flames was so fast that I couldn’t just ignore it.
Wedge liquid—!!
‘I’m not..?’
However, the stem of the flame passed directly over Hiro’s head.
Hiro, who was blankly looking at the sky and the opponent’s castle from which the flame attack had been flying.
With a bang-!
“..!?”
Turning his head, he looked up at the top of the castle from which he had just jumped.
‘What if the attack, which I was too quick to recognize, was directed at Ahyeon and Hyeji?’
Ugh…
“The buff is gone..”
Unsurprisingly, the pink airflow that had been subdued until just now disappears as it is removed from the body.
Pink airflow is Hyeji’s buff, and Hong Hyeji’s ability is to strengthen those who come into sight.
In other words, the disappearance of the buff was the same as saying that something happened to Hong Hye-ji.
“..It can’t be helped.”
After a moment of hesitation, Hiro chose to run back to class b’s castle.
Even if the same team had trouble, it wasn’t really a loss of life.
‘Winning quickly is right for both of us.’
============
“I’ll be back.”
Dig-!
“To..? Uhh..!!”
“Hiroya!?”
With Hiro’s voice, the two of them raised their heads and saw the red hair disappearing over the castle wall, opening their eyes wide and shouting.
It’s not a real-sized castle, but it’s a high position, but when a classmate jumped off, he was embarrassed.
“Hiroo! Hiro!”
Ah-hyeon Chung tried to run to the ledge where Hiro disappeared, just like her mother who had lost her child.
“Wait! It’s strengthening Hiro!”
“Leave this..! Hiro is now…!”
“No problem, stupid!”
“Eh.. Ah. That… That’s right.”
Shortly after Hiro’s jump, he was able to overcome the aftereffects of accessing virtual space and come to his senses.
“And there is no time for this. We need to get to the plan quickly before the other side wakes up too!”
Ugh-..!
Starting with Hyeji’s buff injection…
“Ha-!”
Damn–!
Ah-hyeon also activates his icing ability and begins to build an octagonal ice barrier above the air around the top of the castle. As he knew well that his opponents were good at long-range fire attacks, he built a sturdy barrier first.
Ugh-..!
Originally, Ahyeon had slightly better skills than her enemy Sena, so now he is receiving Hong Hyeji’s buff.
Jjoeong-..!!
“Huh… That’s it.”
You can build a near-perfect shield…!
Piing—!!
Phew—!
“Uh…Uh huh?”
“Hye…Is that Hyeji?”
[Class B ==〉〉 Hyeji Hong from Class A KILL! ! ! ! ]
With such a red message.
Dump..!
Slither…
The figure of Hong Hye-ji, who collapsed clutching her chest, disappears as a powder of light.
“No.. That’s nonsense..!”
Surprised by the impossibility, Ahyeon turned her head from the floor where Hyeji had disappeared to see the surface of the ice barrier he had set up.
Cheeik…-
There was a hole just big enough for a finger to pass through, and the area around it melted and sunlight leaked in.
