Episode 37. Point Hunt and Harbinger

Darren and Michael luckily met near the starting point and were collecting points together.



Even though I had to split the points between the two of them, I thought it was much better than wandering around in the mountains with no one to rely on.

The two, who had spent the first day safely by staying vigil for each other, were moving to earn points in earnest from the morning of the second day.

“I thought I would need a map for this, but I have no idea where it is.”

“I know. Where are you now?”

Even though they got up early in the morning and walked for a long time, they couldn’t pinpoint their location.

Pop!

Whirik.

“huh? Ugh!”

Suddenly, there was the sound of a tree branch breaking, and Darren, who was looking at the map, was tied to a rope and hung in the air in an instant.

“Darren!”

Michael, who had been walking in front of him, hurriedly turned around and approached, but was soon immobilized by the electric magic that flew by.

The magic also hit Darren, who was hanging in the air, and the two fell unconscious.

As the two fell, Adrias and Diene, who were hiding not far away, appeared.

As if it was natural, the two each took off a bracelet and absorbed the points.

“I really don’t understand.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Everything.”

Diene, who absorbed the points and freed the bound student, stared at Adrias.

“Where the hell did you learn all this?”

“You mean these catch tricks? It’s just a hobby.”

“You said you had a hobby like that?”

Then, Adrias, who noticed something, put a finger to his mouth and gave a signal to be quiet.

He looked around, then touched it here and there.

“Someone passed here before the two of us who just caught them. It hasn’t been that long.”

“so?”

“I’ll go after you.”

“also?”

Soon, Adrias moved forward, pretending to follow quickly.

It was obviously great, but I was tired of chasing his tempo.

Even today, more than six students have already been caught.

Even that was just after the sun had risen, so it clearly showed what a hectic forced march they had gone through.

“Just hold on until this time and rest.”

“okay.”

Although exhausted, it was Diene who eventually followed him.

* * *

Actually, when I first saw her, I just tried to ignore her.

It seemed that I only found it on my side anyway, so it was clear that if I left it like this, it would pass by naturally.

‘Diane Alven. Could I use it?’

If you just endure for 2 nights and 3 days and collect small points, you will get some grades.

But if he teamed up with Diene, wouldn’t it be okay to aim for top grades?

I’m in charge of tracking, finding traces, and overall life for point hunting, and she fights instead of me.

Of course, I could do it myself, but if that happened, my stamina was stamina and there were a lot of variables.

‘I think it’ll be okay?’

At first glance, Diene, who had grown up as a precious person, seemed lost.

They will probably be eliminated due to mana depletion or due to survival issues after wielding magic as they are.

So it didn’t seem bad to flirt with each other so that it could be a win-win.

I was able to show up like that and invite her to my residence.

However, when we were about to talk about the team after dinner, I didn’t expect Diene to fall asleep.

‘This is a bit difficult.’

Still, seeing Diene asleep like this reminds me of childhood memories with her that remain in my memory.

Of course, it was not something I personally experienced, but it was just a memory that remained in my body, but it was true that I felt nostalgic.

After waking up, she was still wary of me, but in the end, I made her a body that couldn’t get out of the convenience and convenience I provided.

After giving her a brief taste of comfort in the backcountry, I offered her a deal.

Come to think of it, this guy was a knight lover.

I was going to skip it, but I dare to ask.

I brought up another story to divert attention.

“For now, let’s go back to the residence.”

“suddenly?”

“yes. I will go back to my quarters, rest, and come back at night.”

At my words, Diene nodded as if she understood my intentions.

“Certainly night is good for hunting. But is it possible?”

“Don’t worry.”

At night, it’s dark and you won’t be able to see well.

But I had the mana of a knight.

It’s not even about clearing your eyes.

“Just follow me.”

The ranking is ours.

* * *

The goblin-looking man who had been looking up at the snow-white mountain the day before turned back to see a huge man walking side by side.

“No matter how you think about it, it’s suspicious.”

“I have already received the money. There is no turning back.”

The giant man spoke as if he couldn’t help it at the goblin man’s words, but deep down he thought he was right.

However, due to the people in black robes following behind, it did not show much.

“If this is done safely, we will never get involved again.”

“lol. of course! Still, I got a lot of money, so it’s nice to be able to play and eat for a while.”

Then, a person in a black robe rushed forward and interrupted their conversation.

“As long as the work is done safely, we have no intention of getting involved with trash like you.”

“Oops. Did you come, Mr. Kidwell? lol.”

As the goblin-looking man smiled casually, the man in the robe clicked his tongue.

“Don’t pretend to be friendly. You dirty mongrel.”

“You talk too much. Do you want to die?”

The huge man stopped walking and revealed his intention to live.

As the ale-like energy spread, all the people in black robes who were walking behind stopped and looked at the man.

As soon as they gathered mana, the man turned his head and reaped his life.

“If you get paid, think about getting the job done right. Do those useless worries before you get paid.”

At the robe man’s words, the big man just started walking forward again without saying anything.

A goblin-like man followed him.

“And don’t forget. That Jester-nim directly commissioned you to do this.”

“... ... Know.”

The sun was slowly going down.

And the people in the black robes gradually began to go into the mountains in different directions.

As they walked forward and scattered, the last man named Kidwell said.

“The two of you have one unconditional goal. Of course, the more you kill the students, the better. But you guys won’t do anything worthless.”

“oh my. president. If you give me more money, I’ll do whatever it takes anyway.”

“joy. done. Do well in whatever task you are given. It probably won’t be difficult.”

Just then, a large man grabbed Kidwell.

“I have a question for you.”

“Come now? tell me now.”

“As I looked into it, the target entrusted to us wasn’t even that good of a guy. Of course, he said he recently made a potion or something, but is he really the kind of guy that we have to step up?”

“I don’t know too much about that guy. Jester-nim just made a request to you guys. Think about killing them for sure and bringing back the body.”

“It’s not that difficult. Because it’s our job.”

Soon after, Kidwell disappeared and a smiling goblin-like man spat on the floor.

“Wow! A guy like a living corpse who can neither die nor live speaks freely!”

“We move slowly too.”

“But how are you going to find him in these mountains?”

“... ... If you kill it until you find it, you will get one.”

“what? Hehehehe! That’s right! That’s right!”

After the conversation between the two, the sun began to set on Mount Bilbore.
