Episode 37
I thought the entire leaderboard appeared in thin air, but it stopped at 63rd place. The 62nd place had 21 points and it was surprising that he was the only one with 0 points, but what was even more surprising was the name.
[63. Lillian Karain: 0pt.]
She is one of the golden generation of first year students and a late exponent of Rivendell… … She was sitting cross-legged on a cliff in District F (open area) with her eyes closed. From the beginning all the way.
“How did this happen, Senior Elin?”
“Aren’t you interested in grades?”
Elin, who said that, was actually not interested in Lillian. Because her eyes were always focused on the window where Rain was reflected.
[13th place, Lane Ludwig: 198pt.]
Ranked 13th just by collecting treasures… … Monster hunting points are only 2pt. Elin’s frown narrowed.
‘What on earth are you thinking?’
At that point, the other cadets’ disappointment was already reaching its peak. But the professors thought differently.
“Your physical strength is quite good.”
“That’s one thing, but I’m guessing you’ve climbed mountains often? That’s fascinating. It’s not a skill I’ve tried once or twice. “When?”
“But at this pace, all we can do is chase after the leading group. “Shouldn’t we change our strategy soon?”
At that time, a tree branch crossed the air in a sharp trajectory like a comet and pierced the monster’s head.
[Monster Hunting: Obtain 1pt.]
After trampling on its hideous body and retrieving the tree branch, Lane looked up at the leaden sky for a moment.
‘The rain is getting stronger.’
The sound of footsteps echoes eerily in the mountains.
It’s just perfect weather.
It is difficult for monsters with sensitive hearing to prey on it, and to use its habits to engage in one-on-many battles.
‘Oh, that guy can’t be… … ?’
Marena, who was sitting alone in a chair with her arms crossed and watching the whole situation, whistled.
‘Have you just been patient until now? It’s about to start now… … .’
But it wasn’t just Lane who was waiting for ‘that moment’.
The cliffs of district F.
Lillian was quietly sitting cross-legged, and a dozen will-o’-the-wisdom lights flew in from all over the mountainous area and hovered like fireflies around her face.
‘found. ‘All the guys in the top 10.’
Lillian’s eyes, which slowly opened in the rain, were eerily black.
‘Let’s get started soon.’
The moment Lillian stood up muttering that, a string of characters along with a map were printed from the test-taking magic tools worn by the test takers on their wrists.
[Volcanic eruption]
– Evacuate the area.
The Battle Royale test was designed in such a way that it was impossible to simply hide and survive. This is because the safe zone continues to narrow due to volcanic eruptions.
This means that there is no choice but to survive by continuing to compete in an increasingly cramped area.
The volcanic eruption that started in mountain peak Earth B·C soon engulfs all but one Earth.
“As expected, the 1st and 2nd place cadets of the 2nd place group are coming in spurts as if they have been waiting for this situation.”
“no… … Just wait a moment. “The other one comes out.”
Along with a professor’s embarrassed voice, a large image of a cadet whose scores suddenly began to skyrocket appeared on the screen.
“Scores are rising at an unbelievable rate?!”
The moment that image was displayed on the screen, Elin Ludwig, who had been concentrating with bated breath, shuddered from a heart-stopping thrill.
“I will put it aside, oh, put it aside! Beat it! Ranked 12th, 10th, and then 9th… … All the way to 8th place at once?!”
lane.
It was Lane Ludwig.
District C, hit hard by a volcanic eruption, is left alone while everyone else moves on to another point… … It was like fighting against dozens of monsters.
“Look at that cheeky Noom?”
Head Professor Marhena’s eyes slowly widened in admiration.
“What happened?”
Logan asked Christa with wide eyes, as if asking when they had been friends. Christa was slightly wary of him before she answered.
“It’s shaking the ground to attract monsters.”
“Monsters? “Toward where you are?”
“answer.”
“Isn’t it completely turned?”
Although she explained it in a calm tone, Christa’s eyes also suddenly narrowed sharply.
That’s because, against the magical beasts that surged in like a tidal wave, the magic square spread out on Rain’s palm was as many as three layers.
It was said to be a 3-star spell. That too is the Jorgen type, that is, created through magic mental calculation.
‘You saved up your strength for this one shot? No, did you keep rushing around just for this one shot?’
As the vibration-type magic spread throughout Earth C gathered as many demonic beasts as desired, the ring of light shattered in Lane’s palm.
The shape of the magic square is a three-layered square.
The runes engraved are Yul (律), Guan (貫), and Du (阧).
阧: Soaring,
Guan (貫): penetrating,
Yul (律): Giving a binding trait.
The next moment, the roots of the giant trees rose up fiercely from the earth that was wrinkled like waves.
I could see with my clairvoyant the sight of those bloody roots piercing the heads and chests of the monsters that were rushing towards Rain, scattering their internal organs throughout the air, or coiling them like snakes and crushing them into pieces.
Because the speed of score acquisition was so fast, score settlement was done one after another and ended up being a total score.
[Subjugation points: +164 points.]
The professors looked at each other as if they were dumbfounded and then burst into laughter.

“High-speed calculation of 3-star magic——?!”
“You really have to have incredible skills to deal with that number of monsters.”
“Did Rain Ludwig have a battle mage license?”
“That’s Confucius, a genius?”
Elin Ludwig intervened, shaking her head as if to ask if they were making a fuss about something like this, but the corner of her mouth was just before ascending to the sky.
“There was no need to get that certification. There’s a saying, ‘I’m a loser.’ Is there any need to boast about getting a certificate when it will be revealed on its own?”
Lane Ludwig’s point is already 362pt. Not to mention Gertrude, who was first in Group B, she even beat Christa, who was first in Group A, by 1 point.
‘I definitely got the score.’
Lane thought as he looked up at the lava flowing from the mountain peak. It will take approximately 3 minutes for the lava to reach here.
‘This score will be enough, so let’s get out of the way.’
Caroline smoothed her chin as she watched Raine skilfully descending the mountainside after deciding that.
‘At this pace, it won’t be Gertrude’s only problem to have to defend her S grade.’
Leading with her… … hmm? Caroline had to blink as she glanced at the leaderboard.
“Senior Kyle? “Isn’t this a little strange?”
“What do you mean?”
“The names of the cadets who were in second and third place have disappeared.”
“Haha, that can’t be possible. Good luck here… … Umm, uh… … ?”
Kyle also momentarily tilted his head. Because the names of the cadets who were originally ranked 2nd and 3rd have disappeared.
‘The gap must have been quite large, right?’
What I don’t understand anymore is… … Those 2nd and 3rd places are nowhere to be found. It wasn’t pushed down to 4th or 5th, nor was it anywhere in the top 10 or 20.
disappeared.
While I was distracted by Lane Ludwig, those names disappeared like ghosts.
“I will use my clairvoyance to find the area where the second and third cadets were. “Three minutes ago.”
When the screen was displayed, no one spoke. For a moment, everyone in the room was shocked and just blinked.
The first thing I heard was a terrible scream.
And what I saw was… … It was the appearance of the second-ranking cadet, who was writhing in a murderous caloric flame and instantly turned into a lump of charcoal.
“… … !”
Next, flames rushed at the third-ranked cadet, who was looking for treasure in the forest, like a swarm of bees, and met the same fate with an eardrum-piercing scream.
It was in the dark with pouring rain.
At that time, lightning flashed brightly, illuminating the face of the being that came close to the corpse.
Lillian Carline.
The points gained by killing a cadet are one-half of the points the cadet had. By hunting down the second and third places, the girl’s eyes glowed eerily as she rose from the bottom to the third place in one go.
‘Now, three people from now on? No, if we take first or second place, one person would be enough.’
Even the professors seemed unable to continue speaking for a moment.
‘The cadets who were running in 2nd and 3rd place were so easily… … .’
Looking at the scene, Marhena patted the box and was lost in thought.
‘He’s definitely a strong guy. He takes after his father and has a vicious personality.’
At one time, the Magic Blind wanted a talent like that. As long as you have the skills, everything is acceptable… … . But isn’t it time for some reconsideration?
1st place: Lane Ludwig, 362pt.
2nd place: Gertrude Panton, 323pt.
3rd place: Lillian Carine, 312pt.
Gertrude Panton, who checked the situation with her magic tool, also had to close her eyes in embarrassment.
‘what?’
Lane and Lillian’s scores… … No, that’s a problem too, but where are the names of the guys who were following me?
Suddenly, it felt like a sharp needle was piercing my back muscles.
To kill (殺氣).
The body initiates instinctive avoidance behavior. The power is concentrated on the tips of the toes, spurring the ground in an instant and pushing the body far away.
Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
At that moment, a blinding fire erupted in the spot where Gertrude had been standing just moments ago, burning her retinas, and her tongue lashed out.
“… … ?!”
flame… … ? He straightened up, but there was no time to panic.
Flame eagles swooped down from above, and with no time to dodge, they crashed into the ground and exploded.
What was immediately transmitted through the clairvoyant’s window was a soaring flame explosion so fierce that it could be seen even from other Earths.
“Gertrude!”
When Christa shouted urgently, even though she knew she couldn’t reach her, Lillian was furrowing her brows.
‘I don’t feel like I’m on fire.’
As she walked through the curtain of rain, the hem of her robe became wet with rainwater, became limp and dragged on the floor.
‘Isn’t it as easy as the others?’
When Lillian took out the amulet from her arms, the prayer beads around her neck expanded and began to orbit around the caster.
The Rivendell School has been renowned as a Remidier type that uses talismans to simplify magic squares, mathematical formulas, and rune construction time, thereby maximizing practicality.
《Fire Line》.
As the magic square engraved on the amulet radiated light, one of the orbiting rosary eggs turned into a blazing fireball.
“Ran(瀾).”
Then, when he suddenly turned around and threw the amulet, the fireball erupted into countless flaming insects and rushed at the target.
At some point, Gertrude appeared from behind.
But Gertrude did not take it easy either. As he struck the ground with both hands, the magic squares engraved on both palms—the Panton family engraves their main magic into the palms like this—radiated light.
Sigh… … !
Gertrude took advantage of the gap in which the water curtain surged and destroyed all the fire butterflies that rushed at her, keeping her stance low and charging forward.
“Oh, oh oh oh!”
“It’s so close!”
“Both sides are great?!”
While the cadets cheered, Christa bit her lip in worry.
‘You have to stay calm here. There’s still quite a bit of time left for the exam. If you put all your effort here… … .’
Gertrude, who broke through the water curtain, tore her legs up in the air and struck Lillian’s head.
It would have ended just like that. If only Lillian hadn’t taken a step back with a skillful move.
But then Gertrude grinned. As light swirled from the magic circle carved on the soles of her feet, magic was activated, and the water vein flowing beneath the ground surged into a torrent and hit her, Lillian.
“Oh, you’re an expert?”
“yes. The Panton family is a family that seeks to harmonize water magic and martial arts. “He is definitely making use of his strengths.”
Amulets cannot be used with this. Concentrating his magic on his feet, Gertrude was confident of his victory.
The Rivendell School’s weakness is water.
This is not because of fire attribute magic, but because water-soaked amulets are prone to tearing and cannot use their full power.
“I met the wrong person. Gertrude will definitely break that arrogant arrogance before you attack the girl without even knowing the subject!”
Gertrude shouted and captured Lillian, who had escaped from the torrent.
It doesn’t give you any time to respond.
He immediately bent his arm backwards and fell awkwardly onto the muddy ground.
“Now, if you don’t want to lose your joints, say you surrender!”
“… … Naive, really. “If it were me, I would have just killed him.”
“Are you doing this because you really want to see me in pain?”
Slowly but surely, I pulled the arm that was bent backwards.
Crunch… … .
Just hearing the sound of a bone breaking in a joint is sure to cause intense pain. But Lillian remained calm.
“The reason I use talismans is not because the computation speed is slow.”
“… … ?”
“It’s because I can’t control my strength.”
Lillian stuck out her tongue. For a moment, a feeling of inexplicable anxiety sent a chill down Gertrude’s spine.
Stigma (烙印).
Was it made by burning it? Isn’t there a complex hexagram drawn in black on the tongue?
‘It’s dangerous, this is really dangerous.’
Gertrude let go of her arms and immediately stepped back, shuddering with primal fear. The chilling sensation of death was stirring in my veins.
“Come out, Yeommang (炎蟒).”
Then, the rosary beads rotating around Lillian rapidly increased their speed like crazy and merged… … With a dazzling flash, it was formed into a gigantic creature of transcendence.
A mane made of flame.
Scales shining with sparks.
Hissing, flickering tongues of flame.
Gertrude took a step back, feeling her mind go blank.
It was the snake of flame, Imoogi, that overwhelmed the surroundings with its horrifying presence and revealed its primordial majesty.
The person who summoned the Imoogi calmly gave an eerie command in an emotionless voice.
“You can eat it.”
