Survival Test (9)

“So hungry...”

“Quit complaining; it’s a waste of energy. I’m hungry too. ”

Wednesday. The morning of the third day dawned, and the students began to feel the limits gradually. Although there were many edible plants on the deserted island, intense competition among the participants was also evident. Numerous carnivorous animals, monsters, and fellow students were all engaged in hunting for sustenance.

“Hey, isn’t that a wild boar?”

“Hush... Let’s check it out.”

For two hungry students who had only eaten fruit for two days, the prospect of a wild boar was tempting.

“Hey, what’s up with you guys? That’s ours, you know?”

“Ugh... I’m really hungry, and I don’t have the strength to fight...”

However, these two students were not the only ones eyeing the wild boar. They confronted other students they encountered in the bushes.

“Hey, we’re hungry and not in the mood to fight. Can’t you just step aside?”

“But we can’t just give up the wild boar. We’re fed up with fruits by now.”

“Wait, do we really have to fight?”

On the third day, about half of the students had been eliminated. This meant that most students had experienced one or two battles.

And they discovered something: defeating the enemy in front of them didn’t fill their stomachs. The food from supply boxes was ridiculously scarce, and even defeating monsters didn’t provide sustenance. In other words, the more they fought, the greater their energy consumption became.

Of course, it was all according to the academy’s plan. In a situation with high demand but low supply, surviving meant competing and sometimes cooperating to obtain food. It perfectly matched the theme of ‘survival’ in the survival test. However, now that things had deviated from the original, the students began to consider alternative solutions.

“Let’s join forces and look for Lee Hoyeon. I heard he brought a lot of food.”

“Yeah, I heard he has a massive supply of smoked duck.”

“Trying to fight each other will only make it harder. Let’s gather other people.”

The survivors began searching for the golden goblin somewhere on the island.

Wednesday morning.

“Hmm...” I gently patted Alice on the shoulder and infused her with mana.

“You’re not meeting Lumi?”

After a few days together, Alice began initiating conversations occasionally. Today, out of the blue, she brought up Lumi.

“She wants to team up with Lucy.”

“Hmm...”

Why is she asking about Lumi? I still can’t fully understand her.

After infusing mana into Alice, I checked the remaining participants with my smartwatch.

“130 people...”

“The rate of decrease is slower than I thought.”

“Right...”

Alice’s observation is correct. This is really strange. There should be a gradual decrease to below 100 people by the third day... What changes could have occurred?

The most critical issue in the survival test is food. Due to the abundance of monsters, there are few wild animals, and the fish are not substantial. Ultimately, we have to rely on tree fruits and wait for supply boxes to drop, fighting fiercely to get the limited supply boxes that fall less frequently than expected. But people aren’t decreasing. What’s the problem?

“Four people ahead.” At that moment, Alice’s words snapped me back to reality.

“Ah, okay. Sorry, I got lost in thought and forgot to check.”

“It’s fine.” Alice’s slight smile seemed to indicate she was pleased to have spotted the enemies before me.

“Let’s take two each.”

“Yes.”

“You handle the two in front; I’ll take the two behind.”

After dividing roles, we approached the enemies. They were familiar faces, a team consisting of Class A and Class B students. Even though facing the two of us might be intimidating, strangely, their expressions showed they were ready to fight from the start.

“It’s Lee Hoyeon! Take him down!”

“Hand over your damn food, you piece of garbage!”

“Check out his rosy complexion. He’ been feasting so well!”

The two swordsmen were so immersed in their duel that they didn’t realize I had been observing for over 30 minutes.

“You’ll meet them for yourselves soon.”

Dealing with the exhausted swordsmen after more than 30 minutes of combat was easier than a stroll in the park. After the two teleported away, breaking the awkward silence and initiating conversation proved challenging. The negative energy emanating from Alice was no joke.

“Ahem, Alice? Are you okay? I’ll replenish your mana.”

“...”

“But still, your mana control is truly incredible. You held out for 30 minutes with almost no mana.”

“How did you know I had almost no mana left...?” Alice raised her head, glaring at me with a fierce look.

Why the anger...

“Just because I have a bit of talent with mana.”

“I see...”

It’s a slight information slip, but subtly conveying that there’s no masseur as exceptional as me might not be a bad idea.

“Come here. I’ll refill your mana.”

I turned behind Alice and placed my hand on her shoulder. However, her words halted my action, “If you do it with bare skin... it’s more effective, right?”

“Students are starting to gather. They’re targeting Lee Hoyeon.”

“How frustrating. How’s this turning into a test like this?”

“It might not be detrimental. Facing such a situation is uncommon. It will offer a one-of-a-kind experience for everyone.”

In the professors’ meeting room, they were conducting real-time checks and evaluations of the survival test. While the scoring concluded the moment someone was eliminated, accumulating a high score allowed those eliminated early to potentially receive a higher score than someone eliminated later.

Among the professors, Professor Im Sol silently observed Lee Hoyeon.

I’ve never seen mana control like that before... Impressive.

Im Sol was pondering whether to disclose herself as Lee Hoyeon’s sponsor or possibly take him on as a personal disciple. Such a decision could hold social advantages for the 20-year-old Lee Hoyeon.

I’ll just observe a little longer.

At that moment, her smartwatch set on vibration mode started buzzing. Typically, it would be considered appropriate to turn off the smartwatch entirely during grading. However, Professor Im Sol is an invited professor personally brought in by the principal and chairman. While she wasn’t obligated to partake in test grading, she came to observe Lee Hoyeon, and no other professors voiced complaints.

“What do you want?” Im Sol stepped out of the meeting room to take the call.

[Sola! How’s the test grading going?]

The voice on the other end was Min Yeji’s. Im Sol let out a sigh at her friend’s enthusiastic tone.

“Not much. Why are you asking?”

[No, if it’s a survival test, you should’ve given me a heads-up! I was planning to reach out to Lee Hoyeon this week!]

“You knew I couldn’t. Even if I could, I wouldn’t.”

It wasn’t like she didn’t know about the Mana Oath. Still, she was quite a bothersome friend.

[Okay. Then tell me what he likes. I’ll try bribing him when negotiating.]

“Bribing...”

Im Sol couldn’t help but picture Hoyeon’s delighted face every time she sucked him off.

“He likes...” However, she couldn’t bring herself to say that he would easily succumb if enticed with your body. It was just a regular, light-hearted joke, and Min Yeji wouldn’t take it seriously. But still, she didn’t want to voice those words.

[What is it?]

“I don’t know... Oh, he likes magic.”

[No, I know he likes magic!]

“I have no clue! I’m busy, I’m hanging up.”

[Sola! Sola!]

“Shall I take a short break...?”

Staring at Lee Hoyeon’s face for an extended period had started to play tricks on her mind. Even though he wasn’t hers to claim, she felt it would be a missed opportunity to let someone else have him.

“Alright... Let’s dive into some magic research.”

For Im Sol, taking a break translated to delving into magic studies. Yet, as she immersed herself in her research, thoughts of her exceptional student lingered more prominently in her mind.
