Anne Jo and her companions following Hyeryeong, who stepped forward to show the way.

“Is it right to go on like this?”

“That’s right. So you might be wrong? It’s hard to look down on our intelligence power.

If I want, I can know not only the number of plates in your house, but also how many moles you have on your body.

So why don’t you put aside your unnecessary worries?”

Anne, who was looking at Hye-ryeong’s back as she walked forward with her chin twitching buttocks carefree, broke the silence and asked a question, but Hye-ryeong just snorted and answered without even looking back.

Anne, who was pondering Hye-ryeong’s answer just now, inadvertently raised her eyelids wide.

“I’m just saying this just in case, but if you really do that, I will kill you.”

“You can’t even tell a joke?

This is why a person who does not know the arts… … ”

“Ha… … ”

Is this what it feels like to feel dizzy?

Anne burst into laughter and let out a small sigh, and for some reason, a feeling that she did not like this woman began to bloom in her head.

‘Vivian… ‘

yes. It’s a similar feeling to when I met Vivian.

Even though she doesn’t crowd around her followers like Vivian, does that confident attitude seem like a replica?

I don’t know where she is or what she’s doing now, but a strange feeling of uneasiness was lingering in Anne’s head as she thought about Vivian, who had just happened to come to mind while looking at Hyeryeong.

The mechanized longsword she is using now also originally belonged to Vivian, but she is using it in place of her own sword, which she sold to pay for her older sister Marie’s medical expenses.

At first, since it was an expensive item, he wanted to sell it and use it to rebuild his family, but since the sword was not his, he always carried it with him in case he had to return it.

If there was at least one thing that Vivian said was true, it was true that her family was small and her status hierarchy below it was also low.

‘But because of that…

I didn’t kneel to you.

It will continue to be like that… … ‘

Anne, who felt Marie’s hand holding her hand tightly as she walked next to her, cleared away the thoughts flooding into her head and began to focus again on the special evaluation in front of her.

The inside of the maze was as quiet and serene as a monastery.

“Why on earth is that… … ?”

“Mo… I don’t know… … !! Wow!!”

In that maze, where only the intermittent cries of monsters, the sound of someone clashing weapons, and sometimes the sound of magic spells exploding could be heard, at some point, the screams of students could be heard.

“Profit… !! Everyone get into formation… !! Don’t send it to the back!!”

“It’s already been breached… Wow… !!”

A male student who was giving instructions to other students with an urgent expression blocked the other student’s path, but before he knew it, the ‘being’ that had jumped over him and attacked the student behind him was grinning and smiling with his red eyes flashing.

“Gabe!! This… Nonsense… ..!!

Obviously the information… … !!”

“Come to your senses, you idiots… !! If this continues, everyone will die!! Hehehe!!”

At least one female student was able to keep her composure and was yelling at the other students, but she quickly clicked on all four pairs of legs and, looking at the creepy smile of the being with its face right in front of her, started banging her teeth together until a crackling sound was heard. It looked like he was having fun.

“Sa… Save me… … ”

But before she could even finish her begging, the girl, whose neck had been bitten off with sharp jagged teeth, immediately dropped her head, with blood flowing down from it, and appeared to be oxidizing with white light.

I never expected it to happen like this.

These students met in teams one by one in the maze, increasing their number and size.

Out of a total of 500 students at the academy, 40 students formed eight teams of five people per team.

There were bound to be students among them who had obtained the test information through trickery, so rather than competing with each other in preparation for future tests, they made an agreement to unite to pass the test safely.

Since half of the teams had already failed the special evaluation for various reasons, their cooperation, which accounted for 30% of the remaining members, could literally be seen as an efficient choice.

However, among those who met each other in the maze and had fun discussing safe passage, there are only four left.

Their appearance, which clearly showed that they had already lost the will to fight, seemed to show what the future would bring them.

“Ah… iced coffee… … ”

“Arachnella…

It’s at the next gateway… You did it… …

Sigh… … !!!!”

Those who were caught off guard had to pay the price, and it was no different for those who had not yet suffered and were left trembling.

Among those who were shaking all over, the hard worker of the Alchemy Department, Karla Sterben, was also included.

‘oh my god… What should I do… … ‘

“Carla… Carla… !! Come to your senses… !!”

Her roommate Yui was also still alive and was urgently helping the unconscious Carla, but it seemed like there was nothing she could do for Carla, whose legs were already gone.

Carla, who could not go out even while her friends were being bitten, could only hope that her friends, who were summoned as emergency escape artifacts, would survive.

And most importantly, it would soon be his turn to make an emergency escape that would be activated when he received a fatal injury.

Arachnella’s beautiful yet creepy smile as she takes a bite out of her friends and swallows the flesh.

The blood was starting to drain from Carla’s face as she hurriedly flinched when she saw the smile focus on her as she looked around.

“Hmm… city… I hate it… … ”

“Carla… !!”

But perhaps her fear was just her own pleasure, and seeing Arachnella regaining her appetite with a bright smile on her face, Carla’s heart seemed to be pounding as if it would burst.

Rather, perhaps because she wanted to enjoy that fear to the fullest, Arachnella’s action was to snatch other friends around her and bite their flesh to enjoy the fresh flesh and blood. In the end, the only people left there were Yui and Carla. .

They are only first-year students in the Faculty of Medicine and First-year students in the Department of Alchemy, and have no fighting skills.

At least, unlike Carla, who was terrified, Yui seemed to face the current situation as calmly as possible, but she also had no solution.

“Carla… Listen to me carefully… … ”

Yui’s voice, whispering in a trembling voice, was beginning to vibrate the eardrums of Carla, who was hugged by her.

“Arachnella from Chaoxing… Its nature is a bug…

I’m weak to fire… … therefore… … ”

Yui’s voice seemed to be suppressing fear, and Carla looked up at her with tearful eyes.

A small smile appeared on Yui’s lips as she looked down at her and tried to keep a calm expression.

“Because I’ll buy time… I somehow find a way…

Carla is from the Department of Alchemy… ? Okay… … ?”

“Yui… You can’t fight… …

Don’t leave me alone… … ”

“At least one… Even Carla must be safe… …

I don’t know about anyone else, but… Carla believes. therefore… … ”

A small amount of moisture was forming in Yui’s eyes as she took Carla away from her arms, unable to continue speaking.

Because I knew he was in the medical department.

The behavior of that Arachnella from earlier was truly appalling.

As if it resents being trapped by humans, it is targeting humans at the most critical vital points and at the same time attacking them in the most painful way.

Of course, not only was it a brutal attack that involved biting the nape of the neck and causing excessive bleeding, but when there were a lot of students at first, perhaps to reduce the number of students, there were even a few students who had their hearts pierced by those sharp spider legs. I did.

No matter how much the academy emphasizes practicality, I felt like this was going too far.

Although the facilities of the Faculty of Medicine are the best and the skills are also excellent, there may be a death for the first time this year.

In the meantime, he hid Carla behind his back and stepped forward first.

‘If you don’t die… I hope so… … ?’

A situation where no matter how much you think, you can’t find an answer.

But one thing was certain.

‘Carla… I could… … ‘

If you receive a fatal injury, you will have to make an emergency escape from this dungeon.

In that case, it was meaningless to remain helpless in the absence of allies, let alone in a combat situation in the first place.

Therefore, there was only one method that Yui could think of.

“Finding a way… Got it?”

The best way to overcome the current situation is to give Carla, whom he believes has the most potential, a chance to struggle one more time.

Both as a test and as a friend.

“U.. Ii… … Sigh… !!”

“ Let’s go!! Don’t look back!!”

After carrying her bag to Carla, who was shedding tears, Yui set off down a certain path in the maze. She looked back, walked shakily, and blocked the passage as if blocking the path.

“Ho… … ? You’re urging me to do my bidding…

You’re quite a brave kid, aren’t you?”

Arachnella, who had lost her appetite in disappointment as she watched the prey she was holding turn into light, appeared to be approaching Yui in a relaxed manner.

She even watched Karla run away, but being so relaxed was also an expression of confidence that she could literally catch up with Karla in no time.

“Not at all… …

Because they won’t be able to pass by this place.

More than that, you can say it too, can you?”

“That’s right. There aren’t many people I talk to, though.

Is it okay to consider it an honor?”

“Now, to a subject that is not even human…

Is it fun to act like a human with all the glory and all?”

Arachnella’s brow twitched slightly upon hearing Yui’s words.

It is not pleasant for her to make remarks that offend her quite a bit.

“I thought you were pretty smart…

Isn’t that really the case?”

With one short word, the explicit sound of gulping and swallowing saliva was heard from Yui’s throat as she looked up with trembling eyes at the Arachnella that had crawled in front of her in the blink of an eye.

“Then let’s take our time and enjoy it… ?”

“J.. I… Do you think I’ll be defeated by you… … ?”

“Then… ? Have you prepared anything?”

Arachnella was staring at her with a disapproving expression, seeing that Yui had not lost her confidence so far.

However, failing to understand the opponent seemed like a big mistake for Arachnella.

“Of course. I don’t know how to fight, but…

Because I don’t know about you… ”

“What… … ?”

– Clink… !!

“Aaaaa!! This bitch… … !!”

At some point, a small glass bottle flies into Arachnella’s spider leg and breaks.

However, from that moment on, Yui was seen trying to smile as she watched Arachnella screaming and writhing like crazy.

“Is the taste of Cheongju for disinfection special?

If it enters the respiratory tract in your stomach and legs, you will feel like you are on fire…

Hmm… … If you don’t catch me today, you’ll never be able to sleep with those disgusting legs stretched out, right?”

As the stinging scent of sweet yet strong sake entered her lungs, Yui held her breath, turned back, and began to run away with difficulty.

‘Please take care of the back, Carla…’ … !!’
