Chapter 195: First Treasure

When the Treasure Hunt event started, all of the students that were assigned as scouts went on their way ahead of the classmates. After searching for a while, one of the scouts of the 210th was able to find a puzzle so Kraftvoll and the others went on their way there, after reuniting with the other scouts.

After seeing the clue, Kraftvoll and the other students of the 210th class started to search every nook of the surrounding. In the end, Aredhel was able to find it at last.

Since the ground, where the X-mark was found, was hard, Kraftvoll and the other started to think of a plan to dig it out.

After a minute of thinking, they were able to think of an action to dig it out of the ground. Kraftvoll decided to insta-cast a seishin spell to soften the hard ground.

He shouted, "Sprinkle!" 

Some of his inner seishin essences immediately went out of his body. All of it transformed into vapors of water. In the end, a small cloud formed above the X mark that Aredhel had found.

After a moment, the small cloud started to pour some droplets of water. Droplets of water poured the hard ground for a whole minute until Kraftvoll stopped the Sprinkle seishin spell.

He said, "That ground should be soft by now. Is there anyone who wants to dig the ground?"

After hearing Kraftvoll, an elven girl decided to volunteer for the task. The elven girl who volunteered was named Arothia, one of the commoners of the elven Kingdom, Fhinnuisce Kingdom.

When she managed to dig the softened ground, she found an unopened box. As soon as she managed to dig it out, she gave that box to their president right away. 

After receiving it, Kraftvoll decided to not open it just yet. After all, he wanted him and all his classmates to open all the things that they had found in this competition at the same time.

After finding their first treasure chest, the 210th class went back to their strategy again. Kraftvoll commanded the scouts to spread out again to search for a puzzle inside the Mt. Verrater.

All of the students of the 210th class spent the next three hours doing what they did the last time. After one of the scouts found a clue to a treasure, all of them would gather around to solve it. In the past three hours, the 210th class was able to find many unopened boxes.

After those hours of searching, they were able to encounter a group. In the middle of their search, they encountered, all of the second graders in one of the areas where one of the scouts found a clue for a treasure.

In this competition, there was a rule that when two sides found the same treasure clue, they must fight for it in either a team fight or a duel.

With this in mind, Kraftvoll decided to step up after seeing the situation. He shouted with all confidence, "Who is the leader here?"He wanted to know the leader of the class that they encounter to negotiate how to deal with the situation.

After hearing Kraftvoll's call, someone suddenly stepped up from the other class's side. The one who stepped up declared, "I am this class' leader!"

After Kraftvoll took a glance at the one who stepped up, he realized that he was one of the members of the second grade's team. It was the team that he and his sworn brothers fought in the three-man team competition of the yearly tournament.

Kraftvoll tried to negotiate with the leader of all the students of the 209th class. He said, "Based on this event's rule, we can either compete to gain the rights for this treasure clue or the other side must let go of the rights for a peaceful resolution. To become clearer, our class doesn't have the attention of giving up for this treasure clue so..."

The leader of the second graders started thinking about what they were going to do against Kraftvoll and his classmates. He knew that they would not back down even a little bit. After all, the two teams which comprise the best seishin practitioners in their class were both beaten by the representatives of this class.

While their leader was thinking about what to propose to Kraftvoll, some of the students of the 209th classes suddenly felt afraid of Princess Kyomi and the other representatives of the 210th class. The strength of their juniors was already proven in the battle so they can not help but become afraid of them

The one who felt afraid of the girls was the one who disrespected them and mocked them in their first fight. Back then, they did not know that the ones that they had mocked were comprised of members of royalties and nobilities.

Now, they were hiding behind their classmates to hide from them. Deep inside their mind, they deeply wish to be not found by the girls because they were afraid to be admonished for the blasphemy that they did to them.

Despite the fear that these six boys had been feeling, Princess Kyomi and her teammates did not hold a grudge at all. Since the yearly tournament was already a long time ago, the girls already forgot about it. At the moment, they were actually carefree talking with each other.

After a few moments, the leader of the 209th class decided to propose something. He was able to think of a plan to avoid fighting Kraftvoll who can contend with seniors of the higher grades.

'Please just accept my offer! No one among us in the second grade wants to fight you!' he thought to himself before saying his proposal.

With all the determination in his eyes, he said to Kraftvoll, "I propose a duel between one student from both of our classes. I propose this duel to be between one member of each class except for the presidents' of each class."
