Chapter 238: Chapter 238:Winnable [3]

Ruby, not even turning around to face "Ren," pulled out her wand before pointing it upwards like she was about to shoot a firework.

Although Ren's plan had been thrown off due to Liam's swift recovery from the sleeping gas, that didn't mean his plan wouldn't work.

It just meant... that he, personally, wouldn't be there to witness it.

And... he would need some luck.

Well, technically, it wasn't him who needed the luck, but rather Jin and Han.

They were the ones who needed to win, after all.

Returning to his body, Ren allowed his corrupted figure to dissipate once again, feeling a large amount of corruption rapidly returning to him.

Raising his hand to his eyes once again, Ren's perception of time returned to normal just in time for him to witness Liam's sword.

Ren calculated that, in less than a second, Liam's sword would swiftly pierce through his body, completely eliminating him.

He could dodge... but Liam would just move his sword and predict Ren's dodge.

Even Dash would be useless here, considering the fact that it required time to use because Ren needed to activate its usage period first.

His elimination was guaranteed no matter what slowing time or overpowered ability he used.

Flimsily raising his dagger, Ren watched as the tip of the dagger shined a golden hue as Ren lazily mouthed.

"Serpent Slash."

Liam, who was at more than half health, wasn't worried about taking a hit from Ren as he knew he could survive it.

A loss of health was a small price to pay for the elimination of Ren, in his opinion.

Thus, ignoring the fact that Ren raised his daggers, Liam sprinted forward, plunging his sword right at Ren's chest.

Staring at the sword heading right for his chest, Ren sighed before... stepping forward.

Instead of letting the sword come to him, Ren stepped forward, right into the sword.

However, as the sword pierced through Ren's skin, he flimsily raised his daggers before thrusting them forward at Liam.

As his health bar sank to zero, Ren felt the tip of his daggers touch Liam's skin and tear through his clothes.

Relaxing, Ren closed his eyes, waiting to be transported out of the magic space and back to the classroom.

*BOOM*

Just as Ren felt his surroundings shift, a sudden noise and explosion interrupted his moment of silence, ringing through the entire magic space.

"Well... it's up to luck now."

Back in the recruiter's room, a couple of recruiters shed tears upon seeing Ren's dramatic death.

"WHAT A NOBLE MAN!"

"ACCEPTING DEATH... SO GRACEFULLY. *SNIFF* "

"YOU TRIED YOUR BEST... REN!"

"IT WAS A 3 VERSUS 7... DON'T WORRY; YOU WON IN MY EYES, REN!"

"SO INSPIRATIONAL, MAN!" Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"WHAT'S HIS STUDENT NUMBER... I NEED TO RECRU-"

Interrupting the yells, a loud feminine voice echoed throughout the halls, silencing everyone else.

"THAT'S MY RECRUIT FOR YOU! KNEW IT SINCE THE DAY I FIRST SAW HIM!"

However, Kaneki was pissed as ever... not because of his brother's skill or loud yells echoed throughout the recruiter's room... but Ren's personality.

Practically standing on his chair, Kaneki turned to Kazuki while frantically pointing at the screen.

"YOU SEE THAT? YOU SEE THAT!?"

With a slight smile on his face, Kazuki sighed and turned to Kaneki.

"What is it now...?"

Throwing his hands up in his hair, Kaneki stood up and walked to the jumbotron screen.

"HE'S FARMING SYMPATHY. WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT!? IS THIS A PITY PARTY? HE LOST, WHY ARE HAPPY FOR HIM!?"

Ignoring Kaneki's angry rambling, Kazuki chuckled, recalling how Ren had gone out of his way to fake an injury to attract attention from the adults back at one of their noble parties.

*STUDENT REN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED*

*STUDENT REN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED*

*THERE ARE EIGHT STUDENTS REMAINING!*

However, overshadowing Ren's announcement of elimination, something else suddenly occurred on the jumbotron screen.

*BOOM*

Kaneki, already standing right next to the jumbotron, watched in awe as the ground suddenly imploded...?

A flash of red shone through the cracks in the floor... before instantly disappearing.

Then, in the next second, the ground burst upwards, like lava erupting from an active volcano.

In quick succession, multiple screens all around the room immediately went pitch-black as their connection had been cut off.

The rocks and ground had flown upwards from the explosion, hitting multiple drones and instantly breaking them.

Thankfully, the drone connected to the jumbotron was more protected and durable, so it resisted the onslaught of rocks and dirt.

However, what appeared after the onslaught was over left everyone shocked.

Now that the ground was gone, the underground space was visible to all of the recruiters.

Staring at the gigantic space under the ground in awe, Seraphina sighed before turning to the school administrator behind her.

"Please... get a better way of capturing footage for next year."

"...understood."

As awe at the gigantic underground space faded away, the recruiters began to see Han, who was diving and running through secret tunnels he had made in advance.

After shooting an arrow with his crossbow, Han would run into one of the countless holes in the wall... before returning to the opposite side of the underground space.

Jin was doing the same, but instead of secret tunnels, he had countless portals setup all around the underground space.

That's how Jin and Han were able to hang on for so long during their fight against Alya, Zach, and Lily for so long.

However... their facade was falling.

Jin, being hit by one of Lily's water spells, and Han, hit by an ice spell and Zach's battleaxe, were slowly losing health and energy.

Panting, Jin stopped for a second and turned to Han.

"Isn't Ren supposed to be here by now.-"

*BOOM*

Ruby, sitting down on the ground, with her wand sparkling a bright red, stared at the countless explosives below her.

According to Ren's instructions, she had stolen all the explosive-related items that the main cast had brought along after their fight with the student alliance earlier.

"Good luck to me... I guess."
