[Chapter 092]
[With Malice for Malice (3)]
The night the Secondary Academy students set foot on Mt. Seorak.
In the village, except for the Slayer who was deploying the sensor network, everyone had gathered in one place for the first time in a while.
They have different genders and behaviors.
But they all flashed the predator’s eyes.
As if he would bite anyone the moment he showed weakness.
For those who broke the law and fled from society, the concept of a group existed vaguely.
The village was only formed out of necessity, and their world was based on a strict rule of thumb and independent reproduction.
So they gathered in one place.
It meant that the need arose for them to act as a group.
I don’t have to tell you why we’re here today.
A village where only giggles and the sound of burning bonfires lingered.
While they were wary of each other, it was the female hunter who spoke first.
< Yeorangbia > Ji-na Kwon.
The woman who leads the Slayers based in Gwidun-ri and Osaek-ri was once a ranger who was judged S-class by the Mana Management Organization.
She wrapped her top in a thick jumper and continued speaking without paying attention to the stares pouring down on her.
The number of crows is 342 in all. Currently, we have set up a base camp between Daecheongbong-gil and Yaksu-gil.
Crow was a slang word used by players to refer to themselves.
Usually, players like to wear dark-toned clothes for complex reasons, and it looks like a crow, so it was used as a slang.
Oh, there are quite a lot of them? Can I attack the crows with this number?
The placenta will be imposed on imaginary numbers anyway? What is the number of young crows in Jina?
Those who heard the number over 300 giggled amongst themselves.
The man, leaning forward and raising his hand, asked with a light smile.
Ji-na Kwon gave the information she received from the navigator.
300 young crows. The rest are black crows and red crows.
In short, the Slayers were told that there were 42 players to be careful of.
It was a fairly large number.
If you touch it wrong, it can be a headache.
However, the goal of the Slayers was not to kill them.
depriving them of their food.
And disappear quickly without leaving a trace.
Therefore, the damage had to be minimized as much as possible.
Currently, the crows are moving in 10 halves.
Then each break will have an advantage.
She nodded at those words.
No matter how much he was an academy student, he had to endure serious damage if he tried to deal with all the students.
If there were casualties among the students, the damage could have been even greater.
In the worst case, the mana management mechanism could move.
Then, it is self-evident that the entire Seoraksan Mountain will become a sea of fire.
So each break was the answer.
So that there is no damage to the Slayer side or the students side as much as possible.
…Sheesh. It’s not fun. I thought you were going to kill them again. Do we have to take away the food of the snoring dogs now?
Some Slayers grumbled.
However, Ji-na Kwon ignored their opinions.
After all, their opinions were only a minority.
The Slayers living in the Seoraksan area were worried about the current situation where it was difficult to find food.
First of all, winter is coming soon.
Like last year, I wanted to avoid such a hell of fighting over food if possible.
I had to prepare for winter.
I’m in favor of individual breaking. But how are you going to break each one?
that’s right. Classes are moving, but would it be a problem if one disappears?
And when the guys come together, it’s over. You may need to take your hands off it then.
it’s ok don’t worry too much about it
Ji-na Kwon answered those who expressed their skepticism.
She was worried about that too, but luck came just in time.
By chance, I was able to hear the schedule of the academy students for the next day.
That’s why Kwon Ji-na put a smile on her lips.
——Because it’s just a matter of cutting off the tail one by one.
She shared her plans with the Slayers.
Soon after hearing the story, they also raised their mouths like her.
The appearance of the corner of the mouth hanging over the ear reminded me of a monster wearing a human mask.
☆
The day was bright.
What welcomed the students from early morning was the fog that filled their vision.
In the morning of Mt. Seorak, there were many cases where the surrounding area was enveloped in fog like this.
This is because dungeons located individually in various places are influencing providence. There was also mana scattered around.
You have to leave as soon as you have breakfast. There won’t be time to rest in today’s schedule either.
Nonetheless, the secondary academy students started the mountain march.
After organizing the base camp, Eun-ha complained for a while, then chased the group members who were moving forward.
The 6th class president leading the group members was waiting in front of me, breathing heavily.
This morning, the instructors said that there was a risk of getting lost due to the fog, and they instructed each class to form a group and act.
If the road is dangerous, don’t climb it.
The tricks of the instructors were clearly visible.
The galaxy glanced sideways at the fog that was drifting around.
The students didn’t notice it at all, but when they looked into the fog that drifted around them, they could see that it was made of two qualities.
One is the fog caused by ubiquity.
The other is artificially created fog.
Fog of opposite nature is drifting around.
I’m in trouble! I can’t see the instructor!
uh…? The hyungs who came with us suddenly disappeared!
It started.
Eun-ha looked around the group looking at the confused group members.
The mist flow has changed.
The artificially created fog soon hid the way forward.
Do not panic.
The Comprehensive Ability Test was a test that comprehensively evaluated what students had learned each semester.
Simply marching up Mt. Seorak could not have been a comprehensive capability evaluation.
To evaluate what students have learned during the second semester.
The instructors manipulated the fog like this to talk to the students.
Find the right path in a situation where you can’t see an inch ahead.
You all remember the entrance exam where you had to find your way through a labyrinth, right? This isn’t too different from that. All you have to do is trace the path the instructor passed through the fog.
The galaxy stared through the fog that touched my hand.
The structure of magic was easy to look into.
It was nothing more than a simple welcome magic.
A magic that turns around in place if you pass by without stepping on the designated path.
However, if you could deploy a sensory network, finding a set path wasn’t too difficult.
Enough that even students can break it.
That’s why the galaxy decided to step back and wait for the group members to break the magic.
Because if I helped them for no reason, they would only take away their opportunity to grow.
Fortunately, the group members got their bearings and began to peer into the fog.
If that’s the case, it won’t take long.
Probably the same thing is happening in the class at the top.
Of course, in the 7 8 9 10 class that will follow from behind.
He was worried about his friends for a while, but decided to stop worrying.
Friends can destroy it.
If you don’t, roll it.
By now, the fog had lifted.
The group members stepped on the path to the answer and destroyed the magic.
When I deployed the sensor network, the instructor who had suddenly disappeared was waiting in front of me.
came out! we did it! hey! wait! Let’s go slow!
I can’t do it anymore!
The group members who were freed from the anxiety of not knowing what was right in front of them ran forward with great joy.
He clucked his tongue as he looked at the students who were already running away.
was still a kid
Eunha, what are you doing? The instructor is waiting for us. Let’s go quickly. uh okay
The class 6 president, who had been walking one step ahead of him, urged him now.
He felt the frustration of having to be trapped in the fog.
So when the galaxy is about to step into the foreground with an open view—
─What?
Again the flow of fog changed.
Since the group members got out of the fog, it wasn’t too strange for the instructor, who must be manipulating the fog somewhere, to change the flow anew.
But something was unsettling.
There was a strange feeling of discomfort.
can’t be expressed in words.
Then, the senses inform something.
Eunha, what’s wrong?
aha i get it You’re not frightened by being lost in the fog, are you? Eunha Noh, you must have been afraid of something too.
…No, it’s not like that.
What is not? are you okay! The fog has lifted now!
Hayang and Minji arrived before Eunha.
Eun-ha ignored Min-ji, who raised her nose, and glared at the fog behind her.
The fog consisted of two qualities.
there was no change to that.
…Hayang-ah, did you feel anything?
huh? What are you talking about?
Hayang tilted his head.
Eunha told her to look beyond the fog, as she had a good sense of reading information through mana.
Seriously at his words, she strained her eyes to grasp the structure of the magic formula forming the fog.
…Sorry I don’t know. why? What’s going on?
Even Jung Ha-yang shook his head.
Even so, the galaxy looked at it for a long time and soon turned its back from the fog, unable to overcome Minji’s torch.
I must have looked at it wrong.
Maybe it’s because of the mood.
Eunha decided to pass it like that.
However, a feeling of unforgiveness that could not be forgotten over time crept up from the depths of my heart.
…But aren’t the other kids coming in too late?
around lunch time.
After all the students from class 6 arrived, the students from class 7 arrived.
There hasn’t been one since.
The fog that occurred naturally is also clearing little by little, but in the other classes, there was no news.
In the end, class 8 9 10 did not show up even after lunch.
Both Parang hyung and Subin.
Mok Min-ho and Cha Eun-woo too.
Even Eunhyuk and Seona didn’t come.
Something must have gone wrong.
Uneasy, Eun-ha searched the surroundings with her sensor net.
I didn’t feel the familiar energy.
Moreover, Seoraksan Mountain, where dungeons exist everywhere, was an area where it was difficult to use the detection net.
Didn’t you leak into the dungeon by any chance? There’s no way I’ll come in this late…
Who’s the one using the illusion magic right now? contact me once
…Currently, communication is not possible due to high mana concentration. Then you can ask the telepathist!
It seemed that the instructors were also aware that a problem had occurred.
A few people jumped into the fog, and the rest tried to recall the instructor who used illusion magic.
Didn’t you pass the baton to the class 2 instructor earlier?
yes? So I handed it over to the class 3 instructor. Isn’t it your turn now, class 7 instructor?
that’s right. So I left the class 7 instructor in charge…
Wait, the class 7 instructor went on a preliminary field trip to the small waterfall.
At that time, the instructors’ stories diverged.
The instructors who remembered the fact that they had forgotten only then looked at each other with disbelief on their faces.
In particular, the class 6 instructor’s face was white and his mouth was wide open.
I must have passed it…? Hey, think about it. Who are you passing the baton to?
That’s right, to the instructor of class 7…
The instructor of class 7 is not here right now?
“…….”
The class 6 instructor collapsed on the floor as his legs gave out.
There was no one there to support him.
There was a clear look of disappointment on their faces.
Soon their fears were contagious to the students.
Eunha… Are the kids okay? They’re just lost, right?
…It’s okay, don’t worry.
Hayang and Minji were so anxious that they held Eunha’s hand tightly.
Eun-ha took her eyes off the students who were frightened and looked at them, deploying the detection net.
Still nothing got stuck.
…are you okay.
Time passed and the players who had been searching through the fog returned.
The players just shook their heads without saying anything.
In the end, the students had to set up a base camp in a different place than planned.
Where the hell have all those people gone?
In the meantime, the galaxy also thoroughly explored the surroundings with Avenious Cloak.
The area where the fog had completely cleared was clearly visible, but nothing was saved.
Sometimes the soles of students’ feet were stamped on the ground.
But it didn’t leave much of a mark.
Because the students who must have wandered on the road in the fog left only footprints with irregular directions.
The only conclusion that the galaxy drew
was the inference that the students suddenly evaporated at some point.
If you were attacked by a monster, you should have left some trace.
But no bloodstains or corpses were visible.
Fortunately, the guess is that the students are still safe.
I wasn’t entirely sure though.
However, as if denying their wishes—
─Emergency─!!
That evening, the body of the instructor in charge of class 8 was found.
