Chapter 195 The Farewell Party... Part-3.
Yacht 'Evening Glow', Midnight.
Standing on the uppermost floor of the yacht, Zach stared at the starry sky.
'It's strange... I can't seem to remember what happened to me when I entered that white space...' (Zach)
'My memories of it are jumbled up... and I have this strange thing in my item slot...' (Zach)
[Unknown Fragment 1/?]
(Unlike Rio, Zach didn't see any extra memories after he got this fragment... that's why there has been no new fragment chapter added to the auxiliary volume...)
'Sigh~ things are so complicated these days...' (Zach)
Zach shook his head and stopped thinking about the matter of that fragment.
'It's only been a few days and I have become so attached to these new friends... now that I know they will go away soon, I feel kind of sad now...' (Zach)
Zach knew that the only reason why they all came here in the first place was because they wanted to take part in the last test, otherwise Zach might have never met such excellent people.
As Zach is a smart person, he knows that it is very likely that he has failed the test already.
'I ended up losing my consciousness and became a burden on my comrades... I will definitely get a failing grade for this test... sigh~' (Zach)
Fade and Kira both didn't contribute much and thus they will also likely fail this test along with Zach.
Only Riko and the others could be considered to have passed this test properly.
'Riko took care of Zach who became a burden on his comrades and thus she might get extra marks for it...' (Zach)
This way, the final seven individuals who will go to the meeting of gods are already determined more or less.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
Zach knew that once he was declared to have failed, he wouldn't be able to accompany others to the meeting and it might take a long time before he could see them all gathered like this again.
'After the meeting of gods, it is very likely that they all will be at the level where they could easily give the second year final test ahead of schedule...' (Zach)
'Then once they all become 3rd-year students... everyone will have different goals and missions... it is very likely that all of them will part ways some way or another...' (Zach)
'Today might be my last chance to see them all gathered here like this... I want to keep these memories of the time I spent with them, engraved in my mind forever...' (Zach)
Just when Zach was contemplating the future in his mind, he felt a familiar presence's arrival. Zach smiled and asked in a gentle tone:
"What? Are you having trouble sleeping?" (Zach)
Zach didn't turn his head or even take a look, he just knew who was standing beside him just by sensing that familiar presence.
"Yeah... I had a nightmare..." (Riko)
Riko walked over to Zach with unhurried steps and stood beside him. She glanced at him for a bit and then looked at the horizon with narrowed eyes.
"It's rare for you to look so depressed, Zach... is something bothering you?" (Riko)
At Riko's question, Zach simply shook his head.
"Nothing special.... I am just a bit sad that I might not be able to see my dear juniors for a long time after today..." (Zach)
At Zach's answer, Riko shrugged her shoulders and replied in a rather stern tone.
"We have met them for only a few days, and you are already so attached to them? You are too soft-hearted, Zach..." (Riko)
"How have you even survived until now with such a soft heart in this cruel world... sigh~" (Riko)
Lia's shout came from below.
"Senpai! The captain said that he wants to talk to you about something!" (Lia)
"Oh okay!" (Zach)
After telling Zach about it, Lia went back.
Zach glanced at Riko and said.
"Okay I should get going now..." (Zach)
While Zach slowly walked away Riko asked.
"What does the captain need at such a time..." (Riko)
Zach continued to walk away and replied in a doubtful tone as he waved his hand to bid farewell.
"I am not sure either... must be asking about the time we should head back..." (Zach)
Just when Zach was walking down the stairs, something descended from the sky at an extremely fast speed.
The object was so fast that not even Zach, an A-rank archer could perceive its arrival.
Ellie, Kai, Rio, and everyone else, none of them were able to perceive the sudden arrival of that object.
*Booooom!!!*
The object descended from the sky extremely fast and directly collided with the yacht, causing a loud bang.
The whole yacht broke apart in two from the middle area where the object landed, and a massive explosion happened.
Even the people from the city noticed this massive explosion from far away.
The noise caused by the explosion was so loud that it caused shockwaves in the air.
Massive waves rose and the broken pieces of the yacht flew away for hundreds of meters before falling into the sea.
The situation suddenly seems to have turned grim.
The mana stones that were powering the yacht came into contact with the massive shockwave and cracked.
This caused a second explosion and this explosion was even bigger than the previous one.
*Boooom!!*
