"It's crazy."
"They are already going over each other's throats without any preparation."
"This is pure chaos."
"It's all because of class A-3. That Frederick, I expected more from him but he turned out to be an idiot.Walking around openly while holding the flag."
The Professors, seeing the scene, expressed their displeasure at the craziness displayed over the screen.
First Frederick was spotted and was attacked by the scouts of other classes. As Frederick was chased, many classes clashed with one another.
At first, they thought it was a tactic, to dump one class against one another and Class A-3 would take this chance to steal the flags from the others or at least eliminate the students of other classes to gain some points. However, all of them were lying low and the core power of class A-3 had been separated.
"I think they must have a strategy."Shiya tried to change the flow of the conversation.
"Strategy to lose."One of the professors scoffed.
Ami who sat beside them, gritted her teeth. She wanted to dig a hole to hide, wondering what the hell was going on in their mind.
This was a team battle but all of them had separated. As a teacher, she was embarrassed.
'No, let's trust them.'Ami tried to soothe her heart but her eyes were on the verge of breaking in tears.
......
"Continue charging forward. Mages cast the barrier."One of the students taking command of class A-6 shouted.
Just as he commanded, the acting soldiers behind him quickly sprinted forward with fierce battle cries.
"Arghhh!"
"Khumm!"
"Die you bastards!"
Meanwhile, the loud sound of blast exploded and the front lines of class A-6 were suddenly blasted away.
As the dust and smoke dissipated, a huge bulky body charged at them.
"Charge! Kill them all."Ezekiel pointed at the incoming horde of enemies.
The troops behind him raised their weapons and rushed forward for enemies' blood.

The sound of metal clashing against the metal resounded throughout the surroundings. Sparks flew and blood splattered.
"Arghhh!'
With unbelievable power, Ezekiel struck down his fist. Covered with a thick layer of white magical energy, his fist striking the ground creates a large shockwave blasting away the people around him.
Stretching his hand back, he clenched his fist. The muscles in his veins bulge and light particles started condensing over his fist.
"Warmonger Punch!"
BOOM!
A beam of light shot from Ezekiel's fist blasted a hole in the opponent's chest, killing him swiftly before his body could fall onto the ground.
Springing his limbs like a spring, he leapt towards the person and punched him.
Pfttt!
The person spurting blood bounced off against the ground.
Looking at the limbless corpses of foes around him, a sneer spread around his face.
"Hemron, tell me who has the flag."
Hemron, the head of the class A-6 coughing blood, glared at Ezekiel.
"Even if you don't speak, I can take your flag by eliminating every one of your classes. I am showing your mercy, don't you understand? If you give me your flag, you still have time to collect the flag from another class or score kill points but if I kill you."
A wide grin appeared on Ezekiel's face seeing Hemron's baffled gaze.
At that time, a person from his class appeared before him.
"Ezekiel, scouts reported that three classes are advancing here. They seemed to be chasing Frederick."
Ezekiel frowned upon hearing that name.
"That guy is still alive."
That guy was running around carrying a bounty but even after being hunted for so long that guy was still alive.
Ezekiel stared at his watch. A day had already passed and a few hours remained till the end. Since there was no night, it was hard to keep track of time.
"Hemron, I have a proposal for you."
"You are still going to be eliminated but at least you can score some points here."
......
Humphrey, the leader of class A-9 listened to the information.
"So, all of them are chasing after him," Monica murmured with a nonchalant look. She didn't know what she was doing here. It's a waste of time. She could have researched magic circles if she didn't participate.
"What should we do, Humphrey?"
Humphrey took a moment to think ahead.
Others might see him as a top-ranked who managed to secure rank 7 but only he knew just how helpless he is. Each one at the top is a behemoth of its own.
Monica was ranked 8 and Safrina who was ranked 9 was kidnapped during the Field test and still hasn't returned.
Starting from rank one Charles, Frederick, Rose, Ezekiel, Jennette to Sheldon at rank 6, each of them was a foe that even many can't contend with. Their power is further improved by their bloodline powers.
He was sure that on the leaderboard, they would be way ahead.
"We don't need to take risks. We will play safe. We will focus on killing points, defending the flag and snatching if the situation arises."Humphrey ordered his squad.
"I think that's the correct choice," Monica muttered.
"Still, we should send some scouts to oversee the battle and report it. If there is a chance to strike, we shouldn't miss it."One of the students spoke.
"Hmm!"
Humphrey, who turned around, heard faint murmurs.
Creasing his brows, he asked, "Did something troublesome happen?"
"No Chief, we just found the water level of the river had decreased a lot."
Humphrey felt odd but then he dismissed his thoughts.
"Make sure to stock up on water. Who knows if the river water stops flowing? The instructors might have a hand in it to cut the supply.'
"Yes, Chief!"
........
Standing on the green grass filled with lush and gazing at the endless jewel-blue sky, three guys dig many pits.
Looking back at both sides, there were many cliffs 80 metres tall that looked like a hag's teeth.
"Axel dig!"Axel smashed his shovel on the ground and prodded the dirt under it.
Lucas, who stood beside him, watched the timer and waited for the voice call.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I wish this place had a GPS."Lucas sighed and looked at Charles who sat there with a pale expression.
He looked like the guy who had been sucked dry of his life essence.
"Lucas done!"Axel wiped the sweat off his face but in doing so he painted his face with the bed.
"Thanks, Axel. I hope I did not waste too much of your time."
"It's okay. Friends should help."
Lucas chuckled seeing his easygoing attitude.
"Axel, someone will rip you off one day seeing your naiveness."
"Then, he had to face my fist!"
BANG!
He smashed his knuckles against one another fiercely.
"Stop joking with both of you," Charles shouted.
Recovering a little, he got up.
From the beginning, he had been working like a dog.
"Lucas, what if all this planning doesn't work?"There was a slight quiver in his voice.
After working so hard, he did not want all his hard work to get drowned in waste. Lucas had also worked with him and after seeing his work, he was genuinely worried about him.
From what Charles had seen, without Lucas their class was doomed. And he would be one of the reasons for this.
He had always acted high and haughty, pulling hatred from everyone. He had realised that all his actions were wrong but he just could not find a way to get over it. This feeling of guilt had been weighing on his heart.
Now because of him, the whole class is filled with traitors who were displeased with him and on top of that, many wanted to see him fall and drown.
Their class was filled with traitors waiting to stab their backs.
Lucas stared at Charles's expression solemnly.
"Do you really want me to say? I don't think you will like the answer."
Charles's head lowered a bit, feeling a bit stifled inside.
"Charles, listen to me. Whatever the result may be, we just need to do our best. And trust me, everyone is equally responsible for this drill, however, if we lose, you all can blame me."
Lucas smiled, understanding Charles's trail of thoughts.
"It may feel hard but once you learn to accept your faults, you find it surprisingly easy. And for all this, I am already prepared to take the blame thrown at me so just cheer up."
Charles's eyes lit up and staring at Lucas's back, the stuffiness that had been weighing on his heart for some reason disappeared and for the very first time in his life, he felt his shoulders were quite light.
