Cheolsu quietly looked at the rules that appeared on the watch.

【Academy Representative Selection Contest Rules】

1. A basic 240p is provided to all participants, and they are automatically eliminated when their points reach 0.

2. After entering the competition, participants must pay 10p per hour.

3. Points can be earned by killing monsters, disabling other participants in battle, obtaining flags, and completing missions.

4. The top 10 points teams are announced at certain times.

5. All participants are given a common task at certain times.

6. Teams that fail to perform their mission will be eliminated or receive a penalty regardless of the remaining points.

7. The game continues until two participants remain.

8. After the game ends, calculate physical damage and magic damage separately. The student with the highest damage is selected as the representative.

【Contest Precautions】

-Participants must form a team of two before participating, and the two will share points.

-You cannot create a new team in the middle.

-Participants must not leave the competition area.

‘Well, there are all these ridiculous conditions…’ … .’

Although the rules were explained at great length, there is only one conclusion.

-From now on, kill each other.

A war in a limited space that doesn’t end until only the two of us are left alone.

Truly a battle royale!

Since there are so many people and the space is so large, it is natural that the game will last for several days.

Not only does the fatigue from battle build up, but the places and time where one can relax comfortably are limited.

In terms of difficulty alone, it is hellish.

‘But if you hide until the number of people decreases, your points will become 0 and you will be eliminated. Even if you somehow maintain the points, if you fail the mission, you will be eliminated.’

That mission is definitely designed to lead to fights between students.

It is an absolute rule that does not allow hiding or running away.

‘The professors are also seeing through our thoughts.’

Most students probably used hiding as their main strategy in the beginning.

Actually, that’s the most reasonable thing.

In a competition where people are already killing each other, fighting at the beginning is a loss of power.

There is a high possibility that you will get tired quickly and be eliminated in an instant.

Rather, you may be perceived as a dangerous person and come under fire.

Even if that’s not the case, defeating a lot of enemies means you have a lot of points.

These are the most desirable students for students who need points.

In the end, the better you fight in the beginning, the more you lose.

However, according to the rules, there is no way not to fight.

‘I thought there might be a problem with fairness. ‘You used your brain like this.’

The biggest blind spot of this competition is that outstanding students may be eliminated in the early stages due to heavy fire.

However, if the rules are like this, other students have no choice but to notice.

If they fight someone like Kim Yu-jin early, they will lose.

‘The most important thing is this last rule. If you follow these rules… … .’

“Cheolsu, how are you?”

Younghee called Cheolsu, who was thinking for a moment.

She was looking this way as if she had already checked the rules and thought about it.

“Do you think there are any difficult rules?”

“No, if this rule goes by…Honestly, the team with the most advantage is us.”

“Hehe, I think so too.”

Younghee smiled and nodded.

This tournament is ultimately a long game.

And there will be constant battles with the participants as well as monsters.

Naturally, the existence of healers who are good at healing, such as healing, is highlighted.

And Younghee is a supporter who can even win a one-on-one battle with the wizard class president.

Not only does he have healing skills, but he also has better skills in combat than most combatants.

Of course, he is the best talent in this competition.

“But isn’t the problem still drinking water or food?”

“Yes, for this competition, I returned everything except the minimum weapons.”

All participants underwent baggage screening before the competition.

Some auxiliary equipment is okay, but food is absolutely prohibited.

There is a story going around that a student who was trying to negotiate with other participants about emergency food became desperate.

The level of difficulty has increased compared to survival on the island, for which we were able to prepare to some extent.

‘Besides, unlike the jungle, there wouldn’t be anything to hunt and eat in a city. Survival issues become more prominent.’

No matter how we manage to find drinking water, the problem is food.

There might be something to it unless they plan to starve it out.

You won’t be able to get that easily either.

“Points are initially given at 240p, so you can last for a day. Even if you kill monsters in between, you will receive points.”

“I see.”

Most students will worry about failing to score points.

Honestly, there is little chance of being eliminated because your points become 0.

Rather, there will be more cases of elimination due to other participants or failure to carry out missions.

As long as you can afford it, you don’t have to worry about points to some extent.

“In other words, is the point a kind of trap?”

“I think so too. Or maybe it was just bait to get the participants to fight each other from the beginning.”

Cheolsu quietly nodded.

The pressure of being eliminated when the continuously decreasing number of points reaches 0.

In addition, the top rank of points is shown at certain times.

‘We keep highlighting the points, but in the end, the points are just a kind of qualification for participation.

Having more points does not mean you are closer to winning.

In the end, there is no need to try to earn points from the beginning.

It would be better to search in reverse.

“Okay, then should we refrain from fighting as much as possible in the beginning?”

“Yes, and I think they probably hid the food etc. as a gimmick. Or it is given as a mission, etc.”

“Then it would be most effective to find it and take the lead in the early stages.”

“Because the early stage when other participants focus on the battle is when they have the most resources.”

They both nodded at the same time.

These two have been together for a long time.

It was an instant to read each other’s thoughts and reach an agreement.

So the two came up with a strategy before the game even started and stood at the entry point.

Just like the last time on the island, the start of participation was completely random.

There will probably be little chance of meeting other participants from the beginning.

‘Let’s refrain from fighting as much as possible and conserve stamina in the beginning.’

In the end, the basics don’t change.

If I got caught up in the rules of the competition and lost my pace, I could have been eliminated in an instant.

With that in mind, Cheolsu and Younghee entered the competition area.

“Keee!”

“Holy shit.”

A mantis-shaped monster about the size of a street tree came out and swung its front paw.

Cheolsu sighed and pulled out his sword.

‘Well, yes. There’s no way it’s going to work out the way I thought it would.’

Soon, the mantis’ scythe and Cheolsu’s sword collide.

This happened 5 seconds after entering the competition.

****

Around the time when Cheolsu was suffering from such a sudden battle.

Eugene, on the other hand, was having a peaceful time.

‘It’s quieter than I thought. No, it’s only the beginning, so is it natural?’

With that thought in mind, I look around.

The city was literally in ruins, giving off a gloomy atmosphere.

It’s a city that feels just like what you see in zombie or apocalypse movies.

They say it was neglected for a long time due to the gate incident and the difficulty of development.

Does a city become like this just because people haven’t lived in it for just a few years?

When I think about it that way, I think it’s a little scary.

‘I have to spend a few days here.’

Not only that, but he also has to meet Su-hyeon in the middle.

It’s inefficient to meet in the middle of a place where you don’t even know where each other is.

The two agreed to head to their respective dungeons and join there.

Until then, it might be better to save up as many points as possible.

‘There’s someone here who thinks she’s the succubus queen. Even on the outside, they said she was just a female student. ‘You better be careful?’

Well, since he said he had a taste for women, he probably wouldn’t target himself.

Even the succubus won’t know what this person is thinking, so there’s no need to worry too much.

‘The only possibility is that the class leader is charmed?’

Thinking like that, Eugene glanced at the class president.

The class president seemed very nervous, perhaps because of the competition.

My cheeks are slightly flushed and my breathing is heavy.

Well, actually, I was nervous in a completely different way than Eugene thought.

‘Alone with Eugene, alone with Eugene, alone with Eugene, alone with Eugene, alone with Eugene, alone with Eugene, alone with Eugene, alone with Eugene, alone with Eugene.’

I didn’t even think about it because I thought of him as a partner.

As soon as we became two, that fact began to sink in.

A ruin with no one in sight, a man and a woman alone.

‘Isn’t it safe to say that this is already Adam and Eve!?’

My heart is beating without notice.

I can’t believe I can spend the next few days alone with Eugene in this condition.

That alone will make you dizzy with happiness.

“Class president?”

“Yes, yes! Now, what about sleep? Should I wash it right now?!”

“No, that’s not it… … .”

Eugene smiled slightly.

I thought it was a little cute to see the class president, who was always a neat and tidy student, look flustered.

“Don’t be too nervous. Because there’s no way something could happen from the beginning.”

“Uh, yes.”

I could see it in the class leader’s eyes as he nodded cautiously.

A wolf-shaped monster approached silently from the alley.

-Intermediate Magic

The class leader immediately cast a spell.

It’s a mid-level magic that has a little bit of power, but doesn’t make any sound!

The magic arrow flew silently and pierced the wolf without Eugene knowing.

“What’s wrong?”

“Yes! It’s nothing!”

The class leader smiled broadly and answered.

It’s a happy few days that I’ve been able to get after a long time.

Any monsters that get in the way will be torn apart and killed.
