10 minutes after Kim Tae-poong entered the entrance, Yang Ji-seok and the rest of the group headed towards the rooftop according to the operation schedule.
It might have looked funny with each person putting their hands on the shoulders of the person in front, but it didn't matter as long as they could get stronger.
This overflowing power, with the current me, wouldn't I be able to win even if Yoon Seo-ah was in front of me?
"Yang Ji-seok... he's smiling creepily again..."
"Hey, everyone can hear you. Be quiet."
He heard the useless bastards chattering from behind, but he decided to ignore them lightly. After all, he didn't need evaluations from those kinds of guys.
Kim Tae-poong would draw attention at the entrance with a pincer movement, and they would infiltrate aiming for the rooftop.
'I don't need such complicated tactics.'
Even if Kim Tae-poong didn't lure the Red Team members, he was confident he could take them all out in his current state.
'Well, if that bastard drops out, I'll end up standing out more.'
It was an unsatisfactory operation, but if Kim Tae-poong was going to drop out on his own, there was no reason to object.
Even though it was a team battle, wouldn't the evaluation ultimately depend on individual performance?
With Kim Tae-poong out, there was no one better than him. And now that he had solved his lack of Mana (ë§ë ¥) through Mana (ë§ë ¥) synchronization, who could stop him?
Yang Ji-seok aligned his formation and walked towards the entrance. As Kim Tae-poong expected, they would probably be too busy preparing to defend.
"Stop. There's an alarm magic there."
___Wiiiiiiing!! Iiiiiing!!!
"Ah... sorry. That's..."
"Ha. Well, it's too late anyway, so it doesn't matter."
If they didn't have the skills, shouldn't they at least listen to what he said? It seemed like they tried to enter before him without waiting and triggered the alarm magic.
Mana (ë§ë ¥) synchronization was an ability that required a direct physical connection, so it must have happened because they couldn't wait for him due to the reduced mobility.
'Such an impatient bastard.'
But it didn't matter. After all, there was no one who could stop him now.
"Huh!! They're... already coming in?!"
"Tell the others!!"
"They've... they've entered the first floor too!!"
The Red Team, who had come to check the alarm magic, were startled and ran away, but there was no need to just let them go.
A magic circle quickly formed in the air, and magic was immediately fired at the student who was running away after spotting the Blue Team.
Even simple magic usually took time, but it wasn't difficult for Yang Ji-seok, who had a fast calculation speed.
Moreover, Yang Ji-seok's accurately calculated magic dodged obstacles and hit the target precisely.
"Aaaagh!!"
"Min-soo-ya!!"
"Don't worry about me, tell the others!!"
"Who said I'd let you?"
Daring to let their guard down against him, an ice arrow flew towards the student who was trying to escape, leaving the fallen student behind.
As the ice arrow covered the two, the bracelet artifact activated, and they disappeared from the spot.
"That... they're eliminated, right?"
"He's strong, alright..."
"We're going to win?"
*
"It seems like the other side has entered?"
"Ugh... yeah..."
"You stick close to me. Got it?"
"Got it."
Why did her voice get so small whenever she stood in front of Kang Min-ji?
She knew that Kang Min-ji wasn't like that from living together, even though her sharp eyes and appearance looked a bit scary, but she just felt intimidated.
'Kim Si-woo, that bastard... he said it would be safe to put the hostages upstairs!'
He said it would be difficult to enter upstairs, so let's hide the hostages upstairs, but as soon as he said that, they immediately stormed in.
"We won't get caught, right?"
"Who knows... it's that bastard's plan, after all."
Hiding the hostages near the rooftop for now, and making the entrance disappear with magic.
That was Kim Si-woo's plan. Since the building itself was large, it would be difficult to check if there was no entrance, so let's try that for now, he said.
The other guys were also dubious, but they agreed because it didn't seem too bad.
'He was so confident. What is this from the start...'
She started to worry that they would get caught as soon as the test started.
"Let's find the others first. Soo-ah. Get on my back quickly."
"I can walk too."
"No time, hurry!"
"Ah... okay. Why are you yelling?"
She could run herself, and she was considered relatively fast among the healer types, wasn't she?
She was dissatisfied with Kang Min-ji's attitude, but she didn't have the courage to say it out loud.
'Sh... she's more solid than I thought...'
The moment she got on Kang Min-ji's back, she felt a more solid body than she expected. A body that was a world apart from her own.
Was this really the body of a well-trained woman? For some reason, it felt reliable.
'Well... it's not as solid as that guy, but...'
Compared to Kim Si-woo's body, it had a slightly softer feel, but it was solid enough compared to her own.
"I'm going to run. Hold on tight. Got it?"
"I... I got it... Kyaaaaak!!!"
The moment she grabbed on tightly with both arms, Kang Min-ji jumped up. The surrounding scenery changed quickly.
The feeling of her body suddenly floating into the air and then sinking down was strange, as if she were riding a roller coaster.
'I'm... I'm going to crash!!'
Moving like this in an indoor space with many obstacles, she unknowingly closed her eyes when she saw an approaching obstacle, but there was no sensation of colliding.
She closed her eyes tightly, wondering if she was going to fall, and held on tight, and before she knew it, Kang Min-ji stopped walking.
"We've arrived, get down."
"Al... already?"
___Kwaaaang!!!!
"It seems like they're right above us. But are those bastards just randomly firing magic without even checking?"
"It seems like there's an impatient guy. Hmph. At this rate, they'll destroy the room with the hostages too...?"
Jeong Soo-ah muttered that and looked at the wall behind her.
"Soo-ah. That seems like a good idea?"
The opponents didn't know where the hostages were, so if they lured the opponent's attack in front of the room with the hostages, they could get a lot of points deducted.
Kang Min-ji grabbed her shoulder and smiled, as if she liked the plan. She unknowingly flinched, but it wasn't so bad to be praised by Kang Min-ji.
"Yang Ji-seok, huh. Can you block that guy's attacks?"
"Who cares about that bastard... I can block him easily."
"Then let's defend here. If they launch something big, release the shield and dodge."
"I... I'm not confident I can dodge."
"I'll hold you and run. Are you confident?"
"Yeah. I... I think I can do it."
"Good."
Before starting, they had planned to move as a party, but they couldn't move like that because the guys suddenly stormed in.
As expected, theory and practice were different, and they stormed in while everyone was scattered.
Judging from the alarm ringing below, Kim Si-woo had probably gone down there too. He said he would block them alone. Did he think he was some kind of Hero (ì©ì¬)?
The way he dueled with Choi Tae-soo-nim last time, and the way he moved so recklessly when fighting. It made her anxious just watching him.
'Ha... why am I worrying about that bastard again.'
She was thinking about a bad guy, what was wrong with her?
"Soo-ah. He's coming."
"Oh! He's here too!!"
"Red Team bastards!! Take this!!"
Before she could even use the shield, Kang Min-ji jumped out in front of her.
Kang Min-ji's back, which stepped forward as if to protect her, felt reliable for some reason.
Kang Min-ji roughly blocked the incoming attacks with her fists, and explosions occurred every time she extended her fist.
"It's... it's Kang Min-ji!!"
"Jeong Soo-ah is behind her!!"
"If we catch them here, we'll win no matter what!!"
She didn't seem to be intimidated even in a numerically inferior situation. She was a woman, but she felt cool.
Maybe that's why she was popular among the girls.
'Why is someone like that hanging out with Kim Si-woo?'
He's a jerk with a bad personality who only knows how to threaten people.
__Pueoong!!!!!! Kwaaaaang!!!
Now wasn't the time to be distracted by such thoughts. She used buffs on Kang Min-ji, who was blocking her path.
The ability to enhance physical abilities, she had hidden behind Kang Min-ji and fought during the past survival assessment as well.
"Soo-ah! Thanks!"
"Y... you're welcome..."
Kang Min-ji lightly thanked her and charged into the enemies. Was she similar in temperament to Kim Si-woo? She blocked the opponent's attacks with large gauntlets and began to throw punches.
As she had seen in the previous friendly match, explosions suddenly occurred in the air, not at the end of her fists, so the opponents couldn't block properly and were knocked away.
The guys with poor skills were immediately knocked out with one punch. There were already more than 5 eliminated.
"I... I can't do this!!"
"Sh... should we retreat?!"
"Th... then there's no reason for the surprise attack!!"
The opponents seemed to be intimidated by Kang Min-ji, who was strengthened by her buffs, and began to hesitate and retreat.
Who did those nobodies think they were messing with? Even if she was an enemy, Kang Min-ji, who was on the same team, felt more reliable than anyone else.
"Ha... I wondered why it was so noisy."
At that time, she felt someone with a huge Mana (ë§ë ¥) approaching this way from behind. Could an individual have so much Mana (ë§ë ¥)?
She looked towards the direction of the voice, and someone was walking towards them.
"What... what are those bastards doing?"
"I... I don't know..."
The Blue Team, who were not idiots, were walking with their hands on each other's shoulders, like they were playing some kind of train game.
The sight of 7 people doing that looked somewhat ridiculous.
"J... Ji-seok-ah!!"
"Don't shout, it's annoying. Those kinds of guys can be taken out with one shot like this!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge magic circle appeared around the man called Yang Ji-seok.
Was that the guy named Yang Ji-seok who had his ranking taken away by Kim Si-woo?
His actions looked ridiculous, but the movement of his Mana (ë§ë ¥) didn't seem ordinary.
"C... come this way!!"
"Okay!"
It seemed difficult for Kang Min-ji to handle that. The moment she immediately drew up divine power and used a barrier, a huge fireball flew towards the shield.
___Kwaaaang!!!
"Ugh..."
Should she call it a kind of cooperative magic? Yang Ji-seok's attack was not ordinary.
"Oh ho. You blocked that? Then let's see if you can block this too!!!"
After that, Yang Ji-seok's continuous attacks began, and Yang Ji-seok's magic flew in with a terrifying force and slammed into the shield.
The impact of each attack was enormous, and the surroundings outside the shield's influence were already destroyed.
"Soo-ah, can you hold on?"
"I... I can hold on!!"
Perhaps because of Mana (ë§ë ¥) synchronization, magic was flying in without stopping. She thought she was good at defense, but the power was no joke.
'Wh... where did that bastard go!!!'
Why was it that she wanted to see that face she hated so much?
