Academy’s Second Seat

“Whew… … .”

I took a deep breath and looked around.

Dozens of people were lying on the floor.

Did you start with too much power from the beginning? … .

A lot more attacked me than I thought.

Some of the dogs were quite talented.

I tried to respond with as little energy as possible.

It was the beginning of the evaluation, so I couldn’t use much power from here.

As a result, small wounds appeared on the arms and legs.

It was a price that minimized the use of mana.

“I don’t know if it’s beneficial… … .”

However, there were no wounds that would hinder the fight.

There were no problems moving his legs or arms, and there was no bleeding.

There was a different problem than this.

I’ve been wasting too much time on these guys.

The score was earned well, but slowly the sun began to set.

If you stay up all night in a situation where there is no proper team, the amount of mana you used now will not be recovered, and it was clear that there would be problems with both physical and mental strength.

In order for tomorrow’s fight not to be disrupted, we had to quickly establish a base.

“It doesn’t matter where such a place is… … .”

Without delay, I moved forward.

***

“Your clothes are dirty.”

Yuni frowned and shook off her clothes.

He used a lot of magic, and his clothes were dirty with soot.

“Ah!”

I felt the pain while shaking my clothes, so I let out a small noise.

I didn’t know it during the fight, but there was a wound on the left forearm.

There wasn’t much blood flowing, so I put the wound aside.

“It’s worse than that.”

Sweat filled my back as I moved violently.

After thinking about it, Yuni made a decision.

“Shall we find a stream?”

I just got a lot of points, so I thought about surviving.

Food and drinking water must be obtained.

For that, the best place was a valley or a stream.

If it was Yuni who used lightning magic, she could get food right away with a single magic shot by the stream.

I thought that a stream would be the best destination because I could have a shower.

Yuni moved slowly.

“If it goes on like this, it will be pretty cool.”

However, there was no need to be vigilant.

This evaluation method could actually be reversed in the second half.

If you aim for 1st place and win a score, no matter how big the score difference, you can come back.

Alternatively, the scores of the ranks below them may add up to exceed 1st place.

The mountain is not small and there is a risk of fighting, so we would avoid each other, but we couldn’t exclude them altogether.

‘Once the ranks below, we need a difference enough that there is no problem even if the scores are combined.’

It was for this reason that Yuni said that she would not gather.

If they are grouped together, the range of the score increase is too small.

There, Rudine is a very talented person.

When catching a beast, points are paid according to the contribution, so being in that group as a uni was at a disadvantage.

As I was walking with that thought in mind, I heard the sound of running water.

I was able to find it right away by looking at the rock that looked at the top of the statue, setting the direction, and then walking.

Since I had already looked at the map of the mountain, it wasn’t difficult to find an important place like a valley.

By the time I reached the valley through the grass like that.

“Well?”

A human figure appeared in the valley.

A woman was drinking water with her torso bowed in front of the valley.

‘An enemy?’

No one else is visible around.

Then you say you are alone.

He didn’t seem to notice, as he wasn’t even vigilant.

Yuni moved mana.

“Kyah… … .”

Then the opponent drank all the water and lifted his upper body.

Yuni spat out words without moving her mana.

“… … Emily?”

“… … yes?”

It was Emily, Kuhn’s girlfriend.

Emily suddenly looked towards the source of the sound.

“Are you Uni?”

Emily jumped up from her seat with a happy face.

Yuni lowered the hand she was about to use and opened her mouth.

“What if I drink water while being so careless? What if someone attacks you?”

“ah… … I was thirsty, so I was drinking in a hurry.”

Emily smiled awkwardly.

The two were together in Gracie’s lab, but they weren’t that close.

Because of her personality, she didn’t get close to people she wasn’t interested in.

Emily knew this too.

However, I was a little puzzled when he said such a thing as if he was worried about him.

Yuni walked out of the grass.

“uh? Yuni, are you fighting?”

Emily’s eyes widened when she saw that Yuni’s clothes were messed up.

“Uh, I met a group of white clay.”

Emily walked over to Yuni.

“Where are you hurt?”

Emily tried to look around Yuni’s body.

“ah.”

Emily missed her actions.

Emily was in a position to take care of her friends.

Meeting Yuni in such an unfamiliar environment was reassuring, so I tried to do what I usually do with other friends.

“Um, sorry.”

Emily stopped what she was doing and stepped back.

“Why are you sorry?”

Yuni tilted her head at Emily’s behavior like that.

“Ah, that… … .”

Emily waved her hands in an awkward position.

It was Emily who tried to act as usual because she suddenly seemed to be doing it for evaluation.

Unknowingly, Yuni raised her arm.

The clothes on his forearm were stained red with blood.

“I’m hurt here.”

“uh… … ?”

“You know how to use healing magic.”

Emily’s eyes widened at Yuni’s words.

It was surprising to know that Yuni, who could not remember her name and face even after being with her in the laboratory for a week, even knew that she was using healing magic.

“Ah Okay.”

Emily slowly approached Yuni and looked at the wound.

It wasn’t that big of a wound, but it was a wound that could leave a scar if left as it is.

“Wait a moment… … .”

Emily opened the bag she was wearing on her waist.

“I can’t make it completely healed, I’ll only do enough so that the wound doesn’t heal.”

Emily took out disinfectant and a white cloth.

Then he led Yuni to the brook.

“Let’s wash it off with water first.”

It may have dirt or dust on it, so after washing the wound with water, spray a little disinfectant on the cloth.

“It will sting a little.”

“… … !”

Yuni frowned as Emily brought the cloth to the wound.

After disinfecting like that, Emily moved her mana.

Mana gathered in Emily’s hand and took it to Yuni’s wound.

Yuni loosened her frown at Emily’s warm mana.

“healing.”

A green light flashed from Emily’s hand.

The wound that had not been properly clotted with blood healed little by little.

The wound didn’t completely disappear, but the throbbing feeling was gone.

Yuni looked at the wound as if curiously, and moved her arm around.

“Aren’t you sick?”

“Yeah, I only had hemostasis and pain relief. I can’t fully cure it because I’m still not good at it… … .”

“How do you do that?”

“… … yes?”

Yuni looked at him with curious eyes.

Emily was a little embarrassed and slowly opened her mouth.

“this… … Healing magic can use its effects through mana control… … . using that… … .”

“okay?”

Yuni nodded her head with a satisfied face.

“okay, thanks.”

“Oh, no! It’s normal for friends.”

Yuni didn’t react much, went to the stream and bowed her head.

Then he took his hand and drank some water.

Emily was not at all bewildered when she saw Yuni like that.

It was awkward because it was the first time the two of us were together, and there was a kinder feeling than usual.

After drinking the water, Yuni took a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her mouth a few times.

“By the way, what about Kun?”

“… … huh? Kuhn?”

“You go with Khun every day.”

“ah… … I haven’t met you yet. I’m saving myself today, and I’m going to go to the top quickly.”

“normal?”

Yuni put the handkerchief that had wiped her mouth back.

“yes. There, I decided to meet Luna-senpai and Li-senpai. There is a ‘big boulder’.”

“… … A big rock?”

“Uh, the name of the big rock at the top over there is ‘Big Big Rock’. We were supposed to meet there.”

Yuni frowned and looked at the rock Emily was pointing to.

That rock was the rock he had been looking for when he came here.

“His name is… … .”

After saying that, Yuni got up from her seat.

“Then come with me.”

“yes? Are you going to go with me too?”

Emily remembered what Luna had said.

I made an offer to Yuni, but I heard that he said he would not come.

So I thought I had changed.

“No, I am not going with you. The night is dangerous, so let’s stay together.”

At Yuni’s words, Emily’s eyes widened.

“Are you going to protect me?”

At Emily’s words, Yuni wrinkled the tip of her nose.

“No, the two of us are effective, so let’s stay together.”

At Yuni’s words, Emily smiled.

Yuni could have been better off being alone than with her.

His legs are slow, and his fighting power is not strong.

Still, seeing them together, they seemed to care for themselves.

“Okay then, shall we find a place to live?”

Emily said in a voice full of laughter.

***

Uni and Emily were able to find shelter before the sun went down.

There was a small cave near the valley, and I took it as my abode.

The sunset began to set slowly, and Yuni put the fish she had brought on the floor.

“Come on, I caught a fish.”

“yes! Well done, Yuni! I also made a fire.”

Emily made a bonfire out of fallen leaves she had gathered around her.

The cave was very small, so there was a fire right in front of it.

Yuni looked at the bonfire and looked around with a subtle look.

“What’s going on?”

“No, I heard a fight from a while ago.”

“A fight?”

I’ve been hearing small noises before.

But it seemed a little far away, so I didn’t care.

“I think it’s coming little by little.”

“Well, shall we put out the fire?”

Kwaduk-

At that moment, a shattering sound was heard from somewhere.

It sounded like a tree breaking.

It was pretty close.

thump-

“Great… … !”

Screams were also heard.

“What, what?”

Yuni quickly reached out.

It was like not moving.

‘what… … ?’

Yuni looked at the bonfire.

“Let’s run away for now.”

It was a waste of living, but it seemed like the right decision.

“Boo, fire?”

“That’s me… … .”

thump- thump-

A continuous beeping sound was heard.

It was coming closer this way with a loud noise.

and.

bang-

The trees bordering the valley side and the mountain side broke and two people came out.

It was as if one person was pushing the other with a sword.

“ah… … .”

Bang-!

And a man who was pushed out slammed into the wall on the side of the valley with a loud noise, and a lot of dust was generated.

The other settled down in the valley.

Yuni and Emily looked at them in amazement.

The person who hit the wall was invisible because of the dust, but the other person was clearly visible.

A man with black hair, holding a sword, and a green color revolving around him.

As soon as Uni and Emily saw the figure, they knew who it was.

“to… … half.”

A person who pushes another and stands proudly.

That person is the senior two years ago.

It was Evan.
