Chapter 211: Chapter 211:Battle Royale [1]

Voicing my concerns, Jin hesitantly asked.

"Could he have run into some trouble on the way here...?"

Nodding my head, I answered.

"We'll wait ten minutes more... and then move."

Nodding his head, Jin responded.

"Yeah... looking for him in this huge area is close to impossible... so we should start soon!" seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Sighing, I shook my head and continued glancing around, hoping for any sign of a fight or human tracks.

The only reason I had stayed in this tournament in the first place was to ensure both Jin and Han got a high enough placement to be recruited.

*BOOM*

*SUPPLY DROP INCOMING*

As the words echoed throughout the entire stadium from a gigantic speaker hanging from the top of the magic space, Jin and I's gaze shifted upward at the sky.

Peering through the entire sky, I found a small balloon slowly descending from the top of the stadium.

The main cast wouldn't go for the first supply drop as they knew it would be crowded with enemies.

Rather, they would save their energy and go for the supply drop spots that were farther away from the center of the magic space.

And they knew as time went on, the alliance of over three hundred students would be weakened further and further as arguments would start.

Many students also betrayed the alliance, eliminating their fellow classmates in hopes of getting a higher rating.

All in all, the main cast didn't have to worry about the alliance as time would take them out itself... is what they would think.

Recalling the message that had popped up on my smartwatch just before we were being transported, a slight smile formed on my face.

[Charlotte: Change of plans...Bertus is planning to compete in the battle royale. I think... he's just trying to go for first place to increase his fame and start gathering followers.]

[Ren: Does that mean you'll be competing?]

[Charlotte: ...don't be stupid, I'll surely lose]

[Ren: Aren't you and the prince similarly matched? What's the difference.]

[Charlotte: Oh, the difference is quite small! He's just become the leader of an alliance with over half the school in it! Don't worry, I can surely win against that!]

For whatever reason, it seemed that the plot had once again deviated from the book, as instead of recruiting his fellow classmates to his Knight Order, Bertus was actually competing.

Shaking my head, I peered upward into the sky again, confirming that there were no drones around me.

As expected, none of the recruiters wanted to watch Jin and me stand around while doing nothing, so there were no drones.

Manifesting a slick, black bow, I grasped at the string below, pulled it back, and manifested an arrow.

Nocking the arrow, I aimed right at the balloon that was holding the supply box that contained the artifacts in the air.

Next, while the arrow was still pressed against the string of my bow, I manifested an object that resembled a boomerange from Earth.

Confirming the trajectory of the slowly descending supply drop with my air, I released my arrow, spiraling towards the supply drop.

Creating a beautiful arc as it flew, the night-black arrow seemed like a piece of bacteria, invading the pure-blue sky above with darkness.

In less than five seconds, the glossy black arrow had already traveled all the distance necessary, piercing the balloon of supply drop.

With nothing to hold it back from free-falling toward the ground, the supply box suddenly accelerated downward at the ground.

At the same time, I threw the boomerang-shaped object forward, matching its trajectory to the same as the arrow I just shot.

However, I slightly lowered its end point before throwing it.

As the supply drop plummeted downward, its top cracked open under the pressure of the air, causing artifacts and various items to flow out.

Taking a bit longer, the arrow, the boomerang, finally reached its endpoint or the exact area where the items were flowing out of the supply drop.

Catching a couple of items that spilled out of the supply drop on its top, the boomerang suddenly made an abrupt turn.

With countless items on it from the supply drop, the boomerang began flying back at me, dropping a couple of items in the forest below as it passed.

Opening my hand wide, I allowed the boomerang-shaped object to land in my hands before turning it down, causing the remaining items to fall onto the ground.

"Well... something is better than nothing."

As I stared at the countless objects scattered on the ground, Jin walked over to me in confusion.

Shifting his gaze downwards, Jin scratched his head for a moment before asking.

"...where did these come from?"

Recalling a certain rule from earlier, I didn't hesitate to reply.

"Ah... one of the recruiters gave us a gift! We must be really entertaining and recruitable right now!"

"...but we're just standing still. I mean, we'll still take it!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Jin leaned down and began looking through the items.

While Jin scrummaged through items, I leaned downwards, picking up small circular items that Jin had missed.

A compass.

Not wasting a second, I immediately set the target of the compass object, scrolling through the entire directory of first years until I finally found Han.

As I confirmed the target, I watched the compass disintegrate apart before eventually disappearing.

The next moment, a map of the entire magic space appeared in my hands with an X marked on the northern part of it.

A compass would be too overpowered in a battle royale event, so instead, they just gave you the current location of any person one time.

Seeing Jin pick up a few potions alongside a cool, iron sword, I gestured to him and said.

"Alright, let's go find Han."

"You sure, you don't want anything?"

Smiling, I pointed to a drone that had just arrived on my location and was currently floating above us.

"I think a certain princess has me covered on that part."
