060. Final exam season (5)
that buck
Arthur took it one step further. The tingling mana created wind pressure, and the forest swayed gloomily.
“Back off. Arthur. If you come any closer, we will attack.”
Around Tia, six or seven spirits glared at Arthur. After that, the middle-level spirit’s eyes shone.
“Ethan, are you seriously hurt?”
Ethan covered his side and laughed once. Everyone looked at Arthur nervously.
Ethan will face Arthur here?
Victory could never be guaranteed. It was Edan’s injury and Tia had the advantage of ranged.
The good news is that Ethan’s team was two and Arthur was alone.
Ethan gripped his sword tightly. It was the momentum to face it right away.
“What about Raynel?”
Arthur showed the necklace he was holding instead of answering. Following gravity, the necklace dangled in the air.
It was Raynel’s necklace.
“Laynell guy. Even though I was there, they shot arrows in the direction of Reus.”
As if he knew everything, Arthur laughed once. It was Ethan who informed Raynel that Reus’ heel was weak.
When the battle took place, he told me to shoot Reus even if he was eliminated.
Reynel conveyed this plan to Tesha. And even though Tesha used Raynel as a discard card, she tried to catch Reus.
There was a great sense of tension.
“Ethan, we still have half a day left for the exam.”
Arthur looked at the two very nervous and smiled and reaped his magic.
“Ethan, Tia, I will protect you all the while. As long as you’re okay.”
Tia lost her judgment for a moment at Arthur’s words.
“So you’re not going to attack us? Do you need to know why?”
“That’s right, there was no rule against cooperating in this survival in the first place.”
oh
At those words, Tia shed admiration as if she understood.
“But you could betray me.”
“Yeah… . What. But I haven’t built up enough trust.”
“Wouldn’t it be a different issue from trust?”
“Well, anyway. I have no intention of attacking you.”
Arthur shrugged. It was after he returned to the black belt he was holding.
“like. Arthur Pendragon. Let me trust you.”
With that, the deal was done. Tia lowered her hand. He ordered the spirits that guarded her surroundings. Now it was time to call Sonny and Anya.
“Undy. Dine, go Neun and tell Anya, Sonny, and Reynel about the current situation.”
The three water spirits soon split up and crossed the forest.
Soon after, Anya and Sonny joined. Sepia was also walking behind them with a sullen expression.
Meanwhile, Sonny saw a fallen Reus. Soon he realized that Reus’ necklace was in Ethan’s hand.
‘The black-haired guy. Beating Reus… . You are strong. As expected, there are many interesting people among humans.’
Somehow, the black hair seemed to be more fun than I thought. A funny thing happened today.
Anya’s growing hammer and the dark-haired swordsman who defeated Reus aroused Sonny’s interest.
Sepia widened her eyes.
“ah… Ethan. on the side… .”
Even at a glance, it seemed that Ethan had been hit by a spear. And it was easy to find out who the owner of the spear was.
“it’s okay.”
The bleeding has now subsided somewhat. Although there was a tingling sensation, as if it had been slightly burnt.
“Are you okay?”
“Oh, it’s okay. Be patient.”
Sepia was speechless at that nonchalant reply, so she just munched her lips for no reason. I didn’t know what to do beyond this.
Seeing that, Tia laughed out loud.
“What, why are you laughing?”
“Oh, can I not laugh?”
“I don’t like you all the time.”
“I don’t have to like sepia.”
Sepia’s molars were bitten. It was nasty. If it wasn’t for Edan’s team, he would have been able to properly cast his magic once.
“Both of you, please be quiet. My head hurts.”
It made my head hurt to watch the two of them fight while already bleeding.
“Ethan, this is Tia first… .”
“What do you think I did? And sepia injured people ask for some quiet.”
‘Hey… ! be patient be patient sepia. You don’t have to react individually to the opponent’s shallow provocations.’
Sepia took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
Anyway, the final day of the final exam season was passing by. There were no raids by other candidates.
Dark horses such as Arthur, Sony, Ethan, Sepia, and Anya were gathered, but it was because there were no candidates with livers large enough to attack.

Reus’ room.
Reus was remembering what happened last night.
He knew how to wrap his whole body with magical energy like a film. With the exception of vital points, normal shocks could not pierce the barrier in most places.
My teeth were grinding.
‘That guy knew exactly where I was.’
Few people knew their weaknesses. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there were almost none.
[The sea goddess watches you with worried eyes.]
Reus tried to ignore the sentence.
[The goddess of the sea stamps her feet, worrying about you.]
[The sea goddess asks if you are okay.]
[The goddess of the sea… ]
“Oh, Mom! Stop sending messages!”
Reus shouted into the air.
I already had a lot to think about, but receiving such a message made my stomach ache.
[The king of the gods asks you what kind of habit you are talking about.]
“Great-grandfather. Please leave me alone… .”
Even Reus, a single-minded general, could not dare to argue properly with the king of the gods. In the end, I have no choice but to respond with the sound of Bolmen.
[The god of war asks if you are puberty.]
“Great grandfather! Puberty is long over.”
It seemed like all my sighs would come out. Messages flying in without even trying. And with their help, I was able to come this far from this world.
[The King of the Underworld asks why you reincarnated in the Underworld just for that reason.]
“I didn’t come because I wanted to come.”
When I died, I was reincarnated into another world.
Neither the gods nor Achilles knew much about this place.
[The goddess of the sea sponsored you 1000 points.]
[The goddess of the sea sponsored you 1000 points.]
“Mom, if you keep doing that, I’ll turn off the channel.”
[The goddess of the sea protests that it is not possible.]
Eventually, Reus gestured into the air and turned off the channel. In an instant, the room became silent.
Now I can have some quiet time to think for myself.
‘Ethan, he knew exactly where I was.’
It could have been a coincidence.
However, for some reason, it was not clear to dismiss it as a coincidence.
Turning to the side and kicking the heel was difficult.
“So, you might have known my vitals from the start.”
Suddenly, Reus remembered what he had heard from Hades.
That some of the dead did not reach the underworld. It was unlikely that they would fall into another world like him and roll like this.
‘Why do I think of Hector when I look at Ethan?’
Ethan’s last words were vivid in my memory.
‘Think about what you did wrong there.’
strong and honest In that respect, he resembles Hector. It could have been aimed at the back while not being seen.
‘But he showed himself to me and fought fair and square.’
On the other hand, he mercilessly trampled on the wounded. I don’t want to admit it, but I was ashamed again.
Suddenly, a hypothesis popped into Reus’s mind.
‘That guy might have been reincarnated as Ethan.’
Even he didn’t know much about the system of this world. I’ve gotten used to it now, but at first it was full of incomprehensible things.
“Could that bastard receive the protection of the gods like me?”
He could have grown that way and become his own rival who grows with the quests and support given by the gods.
“If you know my weakness and receive the protection of the gods… Paris or Hector. Could it be that the bastard was reincarnated and came over here?”
Achilles had been on the wrong leg for a long time.

Sylvia’s office.
The semester ended with the final exam. At the same time, rumors spread throughout the school about the swordsman who defeated Reus. Rumors were bound to go wrong.
“Ethan is the strongest swordsman in the first year who defeated Reus.”
Sylvia smiled at the news.
I heard it by accident while walking down the hallway. In that way, news of Edan was heard all the time.
nangjungjichu.
Like an awl in your pocket, people with great talent are known even if they don’t want to reveal it.
And how the master pays attention to the disciple.
The first news I heard was that I was the first to catch a mine among freshman candidates. Next came the news that Ethan had caught the devil.
And coincidentally, Edan’s third rumor was also related to demons. There, it is said that Edan killed the undead army alone.
According to rumors, Edan has already signed a contract with an intermediate or higher level spirit.
‘It’s an extremely fast growth trend.’
Those who showed such growth were only a handful of freshman candidates.
It was only possible with two things backed by talent and hard work.
‘As expected, that guy Ethan… . Have you been chasing Mine?’
As soon as he entered, he caught two demons and was attacked by demons three times.
‘It’s strange, but it’s a strange thing.’
Sylvia took a sip of black tea.
The teacup was lowered with a clatter.
‘He said he had to learn swordsmanship to survive, and the demon attacked him three times.’
The Lynchesters were famous for their Mine Hunting.
Of course, Sylvia was also a member of the Lynchester family, so it was a welcome thing for her apprentice to catch the devil.
‘But the more I fight against the demons, the more I’m exposed to danger.’
That was an unchanging fact.
Because it meant turning demons into enemies.
‘Why did Edan become a target of demons?’
Sylvia sighed briefly at the unresolved problem.
Ethan headed to the girls’ dormitory to catch the second mine. No matter how much he was a candidate, if he was an ordinary man, would he have gone so far as ignoring the rules?
‘no way. Was he aiming for demons like Ethan’s hunter?’
Or is there something in common between the three incidents that I don’t know about? My thoughts grew longer today. Then a knock was heard.
“Miss Sylvia! This is Dania.”
“Come in.”
The door opened and Dania entered.
“Did you hear that rumor? I heard that Ethan defeated the first place in the entire school in this final exam.”
“Ah, I heard that.”
“There are rumors that he beat him with his skills, and there are also rumors that he cowardly aimed at his back.”
Dania chattered about Ethan.
“The final exam is a survival game, so it doesn’t matter whether you make a surprise attack or take a straight attack.”
For some reason, I could hear Sylvia’s tone today.
Normal people wouldn’t know the difference, but Dania, who had been serving Sylvia for a long time, could tell.
“Ha ha, that’s right!”
Dania replied with a generous smile.
“Nia, contact Ethan.”
“yes? To Ethan?”
“I need to meet my disciple for the first time in a while.”
“Yep! All right!”
Dania nodded and turned around to light the crystal ball. As for Sylvia, there was something she really wanted to propose to Edan.
