Chapter 152

I knew the others would be coming for me at the same time, but I didn’t expect them to come from all directions like this.

“That’s the top of the leaderboard!”

“It’s worth four thousand points!”

Four thousand points?

As I was puzzled over the voice an opaque window appeared in front of me.

[You have now entered the Academy’s Battle Royale! Your ranking will be determined by the number of points you have.]

【Point System】

“Survival Points”

[1st place – 20,000 points]

[2nd place – 8,000 points]

[3rd place – 4,000 points]

“Kill Points

[1st place – 8,000 points]

[2nd place – 4,000 points]

[3rd place – 2,000 points]

“You’re showing me this now?”

I thought the waiting time was long, but this...... Is this the limit rule that Ji-yeon suggested in the third year?

‘I can’t believe it’s so early for Battle Royale.’

The reason I didn’t care much about Battle Royale was simple.

At the end of the day, the strongest player wins easily.

You don’t start from scratch and farm weapons like in a game, you just go into a randomized battle, each with their own quirks and unique loadouts.

So in the early days of Battle Royale, rankings didn’t change much.

That’s when our battle-obsessed teacher came up with the idea of limit races.

It’s a diabolical design that forces people at the top of the leaderboard to come in later, create as little terrain and time advantage as possible, and exclude others from their parties as much as possible.

There would be nowhere to hide, and even if they did, they would be sure to follow visible markers to the high point.

It was literally a rule that was designed solely for the purpose of, “How can we make it easier for high ranked kids to get hunted and fight more?”

[Bloodline Ability Corleone activates]

Thanks to the bloodline ability that increases my strength based on the number of enemies around me, my physical abilities and aura increased in an instant.

“Next time you come, you’ll have an advantage if you come alone.”

Tommy’s gun, now casually drawn from the cube, is pointed at the charging creatures.

“Ciao.”

A baptism of aura bullets rained down with fierce momentum.

“That’s it!”

“Shields up!”

In response, the chargers hastily unfurled their shields or crouched down to reduce their range.

Certainly, if one or two of them had run up and opened their shields, they would have been impenetrable.

But...... seven of them, that’s a lot.

-Boom!

The bullets, enhanced by the trait, betrayed their expectations and shattered the widely spread shield.

“Surely it couldn’t have penetrated the shield......!”

“That’s for another time, enemy.”

There’s no way an ordinary Academy first-year could stop my Tommy now, unless it was an active hero.

──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──! / ──!

I’m not going to let them stop me...!Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

The children are swept away in an instant, as if a broom were sweeping the floor.

From the way they disappeared as soon as they received a critical hit, I could tell who was involved in the production of this Battle Royale.

“It’s Park Yoon-ho.”

Someone who could make such a huge field look like a game.

“Park Yoon-ho” was the only one I could think of.

A test created by two people, wow.......

Freshmen are used to gaming, so if they make the Battle Royale like this the students get used to it quickly.

[PT +700]

“He even made a return motion for points, how serious was he?”

The kids’ bodies are torn apart by the Chicago typewriter, and they disappear in a flash of light, leaving only the words [100 pt] behind.

“I don’t think I should stay here, they’ll keep coming back for more.......”

Suddenly, I have an idea, and I look up to see where the pillar of light is.

“Is that where Choi Yeon is?”

I realized that if I kept going, more people would come after me, so I decided to join Choi Yeon for now.

If they were going to keep coming, it would be more advantageous to join forces and survive to the end and win the game.

As if I wasn’t the only one who thought this, I saw the [☆★1st place★☆] sign and a pillar of light walking towards me.

‘Alright, as long as we join ──’

Quang───!

I felt a cold sensation and raised my arm as a tremendous impact hit my arm.

I pushed my lower body with all my strength, but I was immediately pushed back.

“Monstrous bastard. You stopped this?”

He clicked his tongue in frustration and looked in the direction of the sound.

A man with a bow drawn and a sickening grin on his face.

“I’ll finish you off as fast as I can. You’re not the only one I need to take down.”

It was Jung-hoon.

“......The flies are here.”

“What? A fly?”

His face fell at the word “fly”.

As the Tommy walked down the street, playing beats that only Koreans know, I saw a familiar face.

“Mari?”

“Nu, who......hee hee? Yu, Mr. Eugene?!”

It was Mari, who was walking around the city with an army of cute puppets.

It’s the first time I’ve seen a familiar face in this game.

“How’s it going, did you get a lot of points?”

“What? Yeah, I think I’ve earned enough to get to the top.”

“Really?”

The dolls start to move in between me and Marie, as if they might attack at any moment.

“Oh, right. Have you ever run into any of the ‘Familia’ kids?”

“Oh, about half an hour ago. For some reason, Jin-woo was exhausted, so I ambushed him.......”

Jin-woo is dead.

Poor guy.

Apparently, he was raided because he made too many enemies while hunting down others.

“I guess I’ll have to avenge my friend then.”

“Ew, ew, can’t you just go......? No, I’ll leave!”

Hearing my words, Mari starts to back away with tears forming in her big eyes.

Glancing around and noticing the diminishing magnetic field, I smile at her.

“You know there’s no way around it.”

After all, when the field narrows, only the strongest will survive, and since I never know when I’ll be attacked from multiple sides, it’s better to have as few competitors as possible.

“Well, in that case, I’m not going to sit back and let you eliminate me!”

“Sorry. You and I don’t get along too well.”

──Quang!

A sound like a cannon blast rang out, swallowing up Mari and the dolls in an instant.

If only each individual were stronger but the meaningless quantity only made me stronger.

[4800pt]

“Oh. Mari is worth 500 points.”

Still, the strongest were the strongest.

“So now for the main event?”

Just as I arrived in front of the Han River Park where Choi Yeon was, a tremendous crashing sound hit my ears.

──Bang! ──Bang!

“What a mess.”

In the middle of the park I could see Choi Yeon smiling brightly as she deflected the attacks coming from all directions with a single sword.

“Just die!”

“How the hell are we supposed to stop this?!”

The guys attacking Choi Yeon must be quite skilled, judging by their taunts.

“I’m sorry Choi Yeon!”

Meanwhile, I see a familiar face, Se-ah.

......I guess she’s aiming for the number 1 too.

“I’m used to it now.”

Choi Yeon’s sword, which had been dodging and blocking until now, gradually begins to counterattack.

They are gradually pushed back by her increasingly faster movements.

“You’re getting faster here?!”

“......Freak!”

At the same time, I could see that Choi Yeon, who was smiling, had sensed their fear and was timing her movements to get behind them.

Not that Choi Yeon would let that happen and just as they were about to retreat, Choi Yeon’s sword slashed out with a straight line.

The sword was so fast that even my eyes could not easily follow it.

In response, both of them disappear in a flash of blue light, and Se-ah, who was watching, falls to the ground.

“......Choi Yeon is too strong.”

“Yeah. I had so much fun. See you later.”

“Okay──Ugh!”

Even Se-ah is out.

Just when things seemed to be settling down and I was about to make my appearance.

────googlegoogle.

The ground began to vibrate.

Choi Yeon, who was also holding her breath, realized that something was wrong and turned around.

She points her sword in the direction of the Han River.

She realizes that the enemy is behind her.

At the same time.

───Quagmire!

A stream of water rushed out of the Han River, directly toward Choi Yeon’s direction.

“Rip currents.”

But Choi Yeon sliced through it in an instant.

At the same time, the water stream exploded and began to splash water around.

-Thud. Thud.

Water droplets trickle from the tips of her soaked blue hair.

No, before they can fall, they begin to coalesce again.

“......who?”

Choi Yeon says, pointing her sword behind her.

Looking in the direction she’s looking, she sees the figure of a man trudging across the surface of the water.

Slowly the man raises his head, looks at Choi Yeon, and opens his mouth with a serious expression.

“──Choi Kang-hyun, I am the one who will defeat you and become the new number 1.”

Wow.

This is going to be interesting.
