I took out Princess Laraâs magic wand from the bearâs bag and hurriedly ran after Cheshire.
âC, Cheshire! Letâs go together!â
Letâs slide down the gentle entrance.
âHey, Lilith! Youâre here?â
Bruce spotted us and gave a sly laugh.
âHey, hey! you guys!â
Gerard didnât even look at us.
They only mercilessly hunt witches.
âT, that guy, donât tell meâŠâ
Gerard Schmidt.
It seems that he has already turned bad.
âAre you going to make us lose points?!â
I ran to Gerard in a hurry.
âC, canât you stop catching them now?â
ââŠ.â
Then, as if to show me, he threw the sword on the floor and concentratedâ.
Whoosh!
He burned the wolf in front of my eyes with magic.
Ten at a time.
âWhat, what! Ranged attack magic? Really?â
I opened my mouth wide.
âWhoa! Brother is the best!â
âLetâs hurry up and pick it up!â
Bruce and his crew were excited to pick up the fallen cores.
âG, guys! Wait a sec! for a moment! Stop it, Gerard!â
âLilith.â
Gerard smiled and looked back at me.
âSo why didnât you join me in the same group?â
âWhat?â
He burned another group of demon beasts and ran his sweaty hair through his hair.
âAre you doing this on purpose? Because I didnât team up with you?â
âThink as you please.â
âWow.â
Even though he was a swordsman, he was dealing with magic that only the magic department uses.
âHe was going to deliberately disturb us from the start.â
Range-type attack magic that can catch multiple targets at once.
Itâs a Grade C too.
It is difficult to memorize, and casting is not easy even if you memorize it, and the amount of mana consumed is enormous.
âHe came here because he was so skilled at something that wasnât even his majorâŠ?â
Iâm going crazy.
With the intention of sabotaging us in the first place, he has mastered even the difficult Grade CÂ attack magic in non-majors.
Of course, there was no conversation.
233, 228, 222âŠ
I saw the rapidly decreasing number of monsters, and hurriedly ran to our crew.
âGuys!â
Just in time, Cheshire caught and passed a beast, and the score screen appeared.
! Group B, enter!
Lilith Rubinstein: 46 points
Cheshire : 0 points
Jem: 0 points
Rom: 0 point
I called out quickly.
âCheshire! Hurry up and eat that! And both of you absorb the cores as soon as they come out!â
âWhat? Then what about you? Should I fill in the points first?â
Jem was confused.
âNo, Iâm fine! Anyway, they said that if you get over 1,000 points, you can share the remaining points!â
âHa, but they are catching them all. Demon beasts run out quickly, so itâs hard to collect all 1,000 points. Maybe from youâŠâ
At that time, the wolf rushed behind Jem who hesitated.
âArgh! Grade C offset shield!â
30sec
30 seconds of life.
Pang, the blue shield cancels out one attack and breaks.
Surprised Jem trembled.
âDid you see it? This is no joke, Jem! Weâre running out of time, so listen to me!â
âOh, eung! Okay!â
âL, L, Lilith⊠I, I think it would be a bit d, difficult without a shieldâŠâ
Rom, who was watching, almost cried as he said.
Looking at Gerardâs side, all the members of the team were standing safely in the hemispherical shield.
One of them looked at me and twisted his lips as if mocking.
âIt looks like he has a defense-type ability. You organized the party properly.â
Rom bowed his head.
âI, Iâm sorry, Lilith⊠B, because I, Iâm so uselessâŠâ
âAck! No, Rom. I also memorized some defense magic, so I know how to use it.â
I saw Cheshire and Jem.
Skilled martial arts majors who have to cut and hit their way through enemy lines.
The two needed tricky shields that matched their movements.
âLetâs see.â
I quickly looked at Oscarâs bracelet and started counting.
âGrade C⊠is likely to consume too much life force, and Grade D! Grade D floating shield!â
10 sec/min
10 seconds of life per minute?!
âUgh. The floating shield should continue to burn life force per minuteâŠâ
It was my first time using it, but I didnât have time to think about it. I immediately put a shield on Cheshire and Jem.
âListen, guys! I had to conserve mana, so I went with a Grade D shield! It can hurt a little, so if you canât stand it, come and get treatment from Rom in the middle!â
âY, yeah! Okay!â
âMe and Rom have shields, so donât worry and you can go far! Catch as many as you can!â
I put a Grade B shield on me and around Rom.
Itâs Grade B, so it has 10 minutes of life force.
However, since it was a fixed type, there was no need to continuously burn vitality, so it was not bad for the cost performance.
âRom, letâs not move here for now and think about it. This is a Grade B shield, so no matter how many Grade C monstersâŠâ
Kaangâ!
Krrrr.
A wolf clawed at the shield and growled.
âS, see, Rom? No matter how much they attack, thereâs no scratch from Grade C monsters, so donât be afraid and relax.â
âEung. But Lilith, I think itâs already too lateâŠâ
âEung?â
I hurriedly looked at the score screen.
Grade A (1000 points): 2
Grade C (50 points): 85
The remaining Grade C, 85.
I drooped my shoulders.
âI think itâs hopeless for all of our kids to graduate.â
At that time, Gerard, who came right in front of me, burned another group of monsters as if to show it.
âWhoa, the personalityâŠâ
âPuahaha!â
Bruce followed, picking up the core and absorbing it.
âW, w, what should I do, Lilith?â
âOh wait! Thatâs right!â
I clapped my hands.
âWhereâs the Grade A monsters?â
âAh, that, I, I saw that when I came in, m, maybe it looks like thisâŠâ
âEung?â
Rom pointed nearby.
A towering cliff.
My head went up.
âOh my.â
A bear beast was standing alone at a height so high that I had to raise my head for a long time to see the top.
âD, donât catch itâŠâ
âEung, thatâs right.â
We canât go up there directly.
Cheshireâs sword hadnât even reached that distance yet.
Therefore, it is a beast that was released to catch the magicians who can use offensive magic.
Butâ.
âNo, how can I cast that high and that position at the level of the kids in the training center!â
I need Grade A casting magic to catch it.
However, in the training center textbook, only up to B grade are listed.
âItâs ridiculous, really.â
Of course, I donât need to draw a magic formula in my head, but there are restrictions because I donât want my identity revealed.
I have to use only the magic formula I learned at the training center.
âHuh?â
Suddenly, at the bottom of the cliff, I saw a small letter engraved.
Cliff Height: 60m
âAha, I know how to catch it!â
Of course. A magic formula I hadnât even learned would be necessary.
I looked at the scoreboard with a more relaxed mind.
Grade A (1000 points): 2
Grade C (50 points): 0
Meanwhile those with 50 points have been wiped out.
And our groupâ.
Lilith Rubinstein: 46 points
Cheshire: 0 points
Jem: 1050 points
Rom : 0 points
âW, what is this! Why is Cheshire still zero? Did you give all the points to Jem?â
It was strange to say so.
Cheshire catches three or four at a time, but they only caught about 20 in total.
âLilith!â
Then Jem came running.
âJem, Jem! What is it? Why is Cheshire still zero? Did he give you points?â
âAah! No! This is because Cheshire didnât absorb the core to give it to you. He alone has already caught over 30.â
âAck! Just absorb it!â
âNow is not the time for this, Lilith. We have to go over there. Donât you know he found a Grade A Witchbeast?â
I hurried back behind the canyon following Jem.
There was Cheshire.
And in front of him.
âW, w, what is that? Iâm scared.â
There was a man-eating flower that looked three meters tall.
Every time the leaf was shaken grossly, poison spewed out, making it difficult to approach.
âIs it impossible to approach? Then I can support it with magic from a distance!â
A long-range attackâ!
âNo, wait! Do you have a shield?â
âWhen I tried to do it, there was even a Grade A shield.
I smacked my lips.
Of course. If itâs easy to catch, why 1000 points.
âLilith.â
âUng, Cheshire.â
Chesier approached me and explained calmly.
âYou can see it when you look at the magic shield, but you canât catch this. Because all magic is repelled. It appears that they left it to the martial arts department to catch.â
âEung, looks like it. Should I go closer and catch it with a sword?â
âThatâs right. But that poison.â
The purple mist of poison swarmed around.
âWe donât know what kind of poison it is.â
âAha, then! Can I upgrade your shield so that it doesnât poison you?â
Cheshire smiled.
âEung. Can you use a Grade B shield?â
âI can do it!â
As expected, we worked well together.
âGrade B floating shield for one person!â
30sec/1min
I immediately strengthened Cheshireâs shield.
It was then.
âCanât you put a floating shield on?â
âI, I canât use that yet⊠Iâm sorry, Brother Gerard.â
That persistent Gerard!
It wasnât enough for him to beat all the 50-point monsters, so he followed us the whole way and tried to beat the 1000-point monsters.
âWhatâs really wrong with him?â
Dumbfounded, Gerard walked barefoot toward the poisonous man-eating flowers.
Without a shield!
He showed that he would do whatever it took to stop us from eating 1000 points, even if it meant dying.
âItâs an illusion anyway, so even if it hurts, youâre just going to catch it while being hit?â
Jem was dumbfounded.
Perhaps that is what he meant, Gerard swung his sword while receiving a cloud of poison.
Butâ.
âItâs a paralyzing poison.â
âA paralyzing poison.â
âSo itâs paralyzing poison.â
Because he hardens immediately after being poisoned, it must be paralysis poison.
Above Gerardâs head, which had hardened like a statue, man-eating flowers opened their mouth-like leaves.
âKyaaaak!â
I was horrified.
The man-eating flower swallowed Gerard whole.
And
As soon as they saw that, they jumped out to rescue Gerard without hesitation.
âG, guys!?â
It was Cheshire and Jem!
âEven Jem?â
I hastily strengthened Jemâs shield as well.
âHugh.â
Unlike our kids, who jumped in to save another team member without looking back, Bruce just stood there and watched.
That personality who immediately turns a blind eye to the bus driver whoâs been struggling alone.
