Chapter 116 – Episode 116. Survival Test (9)
“I’m hungry….”
“Don’t talk because I’m hungry too. It’s a waste of energy.”
Wednesday. The morning of the third day was bright, and the cadets had reached their limit.
There were many edible animals and plants on the uninhabited island, but there were also many competitors.
Numerous carnivores, monsters, and even the same cadets were hunting for food.
“Hey, isn’t that a wild boar?”
“Shh. Let’s go.”
An opportunity to prey came to two hungry cadets who were searching the forest.
After eating only fruit for two days, it was worth going back to the wild boar.
“I-ssi. What are you? Because that’s ours?”
“Ha… I’m really hungry, so I don’t even have the strength to fight…”
However, they were not the only cadets targeting the wild boar.
The two cadets started a confrontation with other cadets they met in the bush.
“Hey, I’m so hungry that I’m not strong. Can’t you just step out of the way?”
“But I can’t give up the boar. I’m sick of fruit now.”
“Wait a minute, do we really have to fight?”
3rd day car. About half of the cadets dropped out. That means at least most cadets have been through one or two battles.
And I found out.
Even if I defeat the enemy in front of me, my stomach won’t fill up.
The food that comes out of the supply box is absurdly insufficient, and even if you kill monsters, they do not give you food.
In other words, the more you fight, the more energy you consume.
Of course, everything was as intended by the academy.
To survive in a situation where demand is high and supply is low, competing and sometimes collaborating for food.
It was a purpose that fit perfectly with the ‘survival’ theme of the survival test.
However, now that it has changed from the original, the cadets came up with a different solution.
“Let’s work together and find Lee Ho-yeon. He said he brought a lot of food.”
“…That’s right. I heard they have tons of smoked duck.”
“Even if we fight, it will only be difficult.”
“Let’s get the others together.”
The cadets started looking for a golden goblin somewhere on the island.

Wednesday morning.
“Huh…”
He patted Elise’s shoulder and injected mana into it.
“Aren’t you going to meet Rumi now?”
After living with her for a few days, she seems to have gotten a little used to it, and Ellis sometimes spoke to her first.
Today, out of the blue, I asked about Rumi.
“Yeah. Rumi said she wanted to be with Lucy.”
“Uhm…”
‘Why is Rumi asking?’
I still can’t figure out Alice properly.
After injecting mana into Elise, she checked the remaining number with her smart watch.
“130 people…”
“The rate of decrease is slower than expected.”
“… Right.”
Alice is right.
This is really weird 130 people are still alive.
After 3 days, it should gradually fall below 100 people… What changed?
The most important problem in the survival test is food.
There were so many monsters, there were not many wild beasts, and there were no fish that were big enough to eat.
In the end, you have to survive with the fruit of the tree and wait for the supply box.
I have to fight bloody to eat the supply box that falls less than the cadets… People don’t give up
What is the problem?
“In front. Four people.”
At that time, Alice’s words awakened my spirit.
“Ah. Okay. I was thinking about something else and couldn’t check it. Sorry.”
After walking for hours and thinking about the number of people I saw earlier, the check was delayed.
“It’s okay.”
Alice had a slight smile on her lips, and it seemed she was glad she found her enemies before me.
“Let’s take two at a time.”
“Yes.”
“You take the first two. I’ll take the last two.”
After the division of roles, we approached the enemy.
These are familiar faces. It was a team where A class and B class went together.
If the two of us were against each other, I would have been a bit scared, but strangely, I was full of thoughts of fighting from the look on my face.
“This is Lee Ho-yeon! Kill me!”
“Give me something to eat! You bastard!”
“Look at his complexion. How well he ate!
“You say you’re going with Elise here? I’m seriously going to be a non-recommendation from now on.”
I was the problem
Well, it was about time to come.
The fact that I had food was discovered from the beginning….
‘Wait a minute, maybe it’s because of me that the kids don’t fight?’
Ay no way
“Guys. You guys have been preparing hard. Why are you angry with me?”
I raised my magic power.
He exchanged glances with Elise and at the same time rushed at the enemies.
While I take care of the two wizards, Elise takes care of the two swordsmen.
It is an unfavorable fight of 1v2, but the difference between the top cadets and the top cadets is that much.
As he ran, he twisted his upper body to avoid the flying ice arrows. At the same time, I set fire to the vines that wrapped around my feet and pulled my feet away.
‘I’m breathing fine.’
Like Lucy and Rumi, it seems like they’ve always been together.
I was thinking about how to win cleanly, but suddenly a tree standing behind me blew leaves at me.
“No, what is this?”
Dodging myself, I looked ahead and saw a cadet manipulating a tree with his hands on the ground. The ice wizard next to me summoned ice one by one around me and interrupted me.
‘I feel like I want to burn it all down….’
This is why fire mages are annoying in the forest. If you accidentally set fire to the surrounding forest, the situation becomes too big.
I want to comfortably summon lightning and plug it in, but I didn’t want to reveal other attributes yet.
“… Ah, I don’t know. Everyone just dies.”
It’s annoying to have things that aren’t even the best of the best.
‘Acceleration’
I accelerated the circuits in my body and burst into mana at my feet to attack the enemies.
When I, a wizard, induced close combat, they were momentarily taken aback. They stopped manipulating trees and wrapped themselves in vines, wondering if there was a plan to prepare for close combat.
“It’s too late, kid.”
It looks like one person is preparing a big magic while one guards it, but it’s too simple a strategy.
‘Fire Wave’
A skill that spreads flames like shallow waves.
It is a skill that was used in the practical test in the past when digging into the gap of the scrap giant.
Originally, the weak firepower that penetrated through those vines could not damage the enemy.
However, my [Mana Induction] Was possible.
“It’s useless! Our duo is invincible!”
A cadet using grass magic was hiding behind a vine, guarding a cadet preparing advanced ice magic.
It seems that he is quite confident in his durability.
But even he couldn’t keep his mouth shut when the flames that escaped through the vines merged in front of his eyes.
“Hey, wait a minute. How do you control the magic that has been manifested once… Ugh!”
The flames hit the cadet and even attacked the cadet who was using magic behind him.
“Kuuk!”
“Aww!”
The two cadets were distracted by the unprepared magic, and began to teleport with the warning sound from the smart watch.
“Goodbye. Next time bring a lot of food.”
I waved my hand and saw my friends off.
“You devil! Enemy of men!”
“I can’t bear to look beyond Alice!”
Tsk tsk. Stinky bastards.
In the end, I was doing that because I felt sick to my stomach playing with women.
The fight was later than expected.
Of course, Alice must have already sorted it out.
“Yes?”
Looking behind her, she saw Ellis being pushed back frantically by two swords.
“Am I looking at it wrong?”
Rubbing her eyes and checking again, it was the same.
Ellis couldn’t stand the barrage of the two and when the swords collided, she was retreating behind her every time.
‘Open eyes.’
I opened her eyes and checked the state of Elise’s body.
“Ah, there is no mana.”
Well, since quite a bit of time has passed since charging, I think that might be the case.
Already Elise noticed that my fight was over, but she wasn’t asking me for help.
It must be because of the pride of wanting to deal with it yourself.
I made up my mind and sat down on the wide rocks around me.
Elise didn’t have even a handful of magic power left.
Probably 10 minutes at most. Leave it alone for as long as you can and save it before it gets hurt.
*
After about 30 minutes.
Alice eventually lost her sword. And just before one of the swordsmen was hurt by a downed sword, I intervened.
“Sorry. I’m afraid you’ll get hurt if I leave you alone.”
“…”
I dug in between Elise and her swordsman, and blocked the sword from taking it down with a cotton guard.
At my helpless intervention, Elise lowered her head as if her pride was hurt.
“What, what! Why is Lee Ho-yeon here!”
“The kids?!”
The two swordsmen were so focused on fighting that they didn’t know that I had been watching for 30 minutes.
“Soon you will see it too.”
Dealing with the two exhausted prosecutors after fighting for over 30 minutes was easier than blowing their noses.
After the two of them were teleported, it was difficult to speak in an awkward atmosphere.
The negative energy coming out of Alice was no joke.
“Keuheum. Ellis? It’s okay. I’ll put mana in again.”
“…”
“Yeah, but the mana management was really amazing. You lasted for 30 minutes with less than a handful of magic power.”
“… How did you know.”
“Yes?”
“How did you know I didn’t have a handful of mana in my body?”
Ellis raised her head and looked at me menacingly.
Why are you angry….
“It’s just because I have some talent for mana.”
“… I see.”
Although this is an information leak, I can insinuate later that there is no masseuse as great as me, and it’s not bad.
“Come here. Let’s refill mana.”
I went behind Alice and put her hand on her shoulder.
But Elise’s words stopped me from doing anything.
“If you do it with bare skin… It’s more effective, right?”
*
“… The cadets began to unite. Aiming for cadet Lee Ho-yeon.”
“It’s so frustrating. Will this be a test?”
“Maybe not bad. It’s hard to go through situations like this. It will be a different experience for everyone.”
Conference room for professors. They were checking and scoring the survival test in real time.
Of course, the point tally ends the moment you drop out, but if you have a high score, even if you drop out early, you can get a higher score than those who drop out later.
Among the professors, Im Sol quietly watched Lee Ho-yeon.
‘This is the first time I’ve seen mana management like that…. Awesome.’
It was the first person to help with his magic every time he saw it.
Im Sol was contemplating whether to reveal that she was Lee Ho-yeon’s patron. Or accept her as a disciple at all.
Doing so will be of great social help to Lee Ho-yeon, who is still 20 years old.
‘Let’s watch a little longer.’
Jijijing-
At that time, the smartwatch, which was set to vibrate mode, rang.
Originally, it is correct to turn off the smartwatch completely during scoring. However, Professor Im Sol is a guest professor brought by the dean and the chairman himself, and she is not required to participate in the exam scoring, but she came to see Lee Ho-yeon’s face, so other professors did not complain.
“Hello. Why are you calling?”
Im Sol came out of the conference room and answered the phone.
– Sol Ah! How’s the test graded?”
This familiar voice was Min Ye-ji.
Imsol sighed at the high tension of her friend’s voice.
“It’s just normal. Why is that?”
– No, if it’s a survival test, tell me in advance! I was trying to contact Cadet Lee Ho-yeon this week!
“Do you want to say something strange, knowing that it’s not okay?”
She was not ignorant of Mana’s oath, but she was a very annoying friend.
– Okay. Then tell me what Cadet Lee Ho-yeon likes. When negotiating, you should at least pay a bribe.
“Bribe….”
Im Sol always remembered that happy face whenever he sucked her cock.
“Hoyeoni is…”
However, I couldn’t get out the word that if you seduce me with your body, it would come over easily.
It’s a normal, everyday joke, and Min Ye-ji won’t take it seriously.
Still, she did not want to speak out.
– What about Hoyeon?
“…I don’t know. I like magic.”
– No, I know you like magic!
“I don’t know. You damned gibae. I’m busy, so hang up.”
– Sol! Sol ah!
Tou- Tou-
“… Shall we take a break?”
Looking at Lee Ho-yeon’s face for so long, it seemed that her hair had gone a little weird.
It’s not mine, but I think it’s a waste to give it to someone else.
“Whoa… Let’s do some magic research.”
For Im Sol, rest was magic research.
But since she was researching magic, the excellent disciple lingered in her head even more.
