Episode 195 Week 10 Battle (2)
Kang Hee-chan’s stamina was slowly depleted.
[Kang Hee-chan 89%]
[Kang Hee-chan 83%]
[Kang Hee-chan 78%]
“Kwaaah!”
Kang Hee-chan desperately swims to escape the river of lava.
Looking at that swimming speed, which transcends human limits, you can guess how hot it is.
But when he almost reached land,
– Phew!
The wind blew straight into his chin.
Kang Hee-chan stood there for a while with his head tilted diagonally, then soon sank beneath the water’s surface, bubbling.

I took my eyes off Kang Hee-chan, who had disappeared into the lava, and looked at Son Hyeong-taek, who had blasted the wind.
[Son Hyung-taek 100%]
“Hyung-taek, you are a really bad guy. If you make an alliance, you have to see it through to the end. Are you hitting me on the back of the head because you think this is the moment?”
“Isn’t an alliance something that can break at any time? Rather than working with such a sloppy guy, I’d rather do it alone.”
“It looks like it’s all there to me.”
“Check it out now. Is it really there?”
– Kwakwakwang!
The volcano erupted again, shaking the earth on its axis.
Fireballs larger than human bodies fall from the corn.
We stepped away from the fireballs, our eyes locked on each other.
Son Hyeong-taek is good at moving his body, perhaps because he is a martial artist.
He then pulls both fists up to his chest and then thrusts them forward alternately like a boxer throwing a one-two.
– Papapapat!
I asked a question while dodging the gusts of wind that were shooting at me one after another.
“You want to see the end from a distance?”
“Is there anything good to come closer to?”
As for Son Hyeong-taek, even if he approaches closely, he will obviously be pushed back by Windforce, and if he does, he may end up like Kang Hee-chan.
Now that I think about it, it seems like the reason I formed a temporary alliance was to send Kang Hee-chan first to check out my methods.
It was an incredibly cowardly act, but it was worth noting that he had used his head.
So I nodded my head while busily dodging the gusts of wind and fireballs.
“You analyzed it well. I was going to push it away when it got close.”
“At least during this game, there will be no gap between us.”
“But there’s something you missed.”
“… … ?”
My skill isn’t just Windforce.
I pointed to Son Hyeong-taek with my finger.
-Whew—
The winds that gathered from all sides formed a whirlwind and tied him to one place.
No matter how hard you struggle, it’s not enough to escape the C+ class twister.
Then, a large fireball from the volcanic eruption struck Jeongsu-ri directly.
– Phew!
“!!”
[Son Hyung-taek 93%]
Son Hyeong-taek is walking around with his arms flailing in confusion.
I’m struggling with my whole body engulfed in flames.
But soon after, I regained my composure and started shouting loudly,
“Ugh!”
Flames shot out in all directions.
It is thought to be a type of self-defense weapon.
But of course, I wasn’t the type of person to just sit back and watch after being given so much time.
While Son Hyeong-taek was struggling, he approached right up close.
Son Hyeong-taek’s pupils dilated as he discovered me.
“Now, wait a minute.”
“Kang Hee-chan just said that.”
Where is the moment of victory?
A blast of compressed air erupted.
– Boom!
Son Hyeong-taek’s new model flew in a parabolic arc and fell into a river of lava.
“Kwaaaaak!”
“I said it was there.”
[Son Hyung-taek 86%]
[Son Hyung-taek 80%]
[Son Hyung-taek 73%]
His reaction when he fell into the lava was also exactly like Kang Hee-chan’s.
He swims through the river of lava, displaying incredible swimming skills reminiscent of a gold medalist.
I watched the scene silently, and when Son Hyeong-taek reached the land, I opened my mouth.
“There’s one more thing you misanalyzed.”
“Eww—”
“This is long-range magic.”
That means there is no problem pushing and pulling whether the target is close or not.
-Whew—
The wind, filled with physical force, continued to push Son Hyeong-taek backwards.
[Son Hyung-taek 55%]
[Son Hyung-taek 48%]
“Kkaaaah—!”
Son Hyeong-taek desperately swam in place, but his speed gradually slowed down and he was pushed back, and eventually he sank beneath the surface, bubbling.
Soon the results were displayed on the scoreboard.
[Kim Ho 1st]
[Son Hyung-taek 2nd]
[Kang Hee-chan 3rd]
‘One game is over.’
I leisurely left the stadium and immediately caught the next match.
[Kim Ho 642 points]
And as I wait, staring helplessly at the stadium, I hear other students talking.
It looks like they just finished playing.
About half of the topics of conversation are about the three-way battle rule.
– This match is really crazy.
– I made you start a fight over wits.
– I put the two of us down.
– I guess you didn’t like it. It’s because you’re ugly.
A three-way battle full of trickery and intrigue.
The weak cannot survive.
Just like Kang Hee-chan, who accepted Son Hyung-taek’s proposal at face value and formed an alliance, but was the first to become a sacrificial lamb.
Meanwhile, the other half were complaining about the hostile environment they were experiencing for the first time.
– The map is completely extreme.
– If you get hit by a fireball once, your health will decrease by 10%.
– I’m 7%.
– The lava is also incredibly hot.
– This is going to keep coming up for the rest of the semester?
The active volcano rains down fireballs throughout the game, and as time passes, more and more lava flows until there is no place to stand.
Therefore, in this PvP battle, constant battle of wits and judgment is required, whether to operate aggressively to defeat the enemies or to operate defensively as much as possible to survive.
As I continued to wait and looked around,
I ran into a very familiar face.
“Ah, hello… … .”
“I see you a lot these days.”
“Uh, yeah… … .”
Hong Yeon-hwa approached me and timidly greeted me.
Compared to before, the fear seems to be gradually disappearing.
On the one hand, the way you look at me seems to contain very complex emotions, but I don’t know why.
‘Now that I think about it, her score is similar to mine.’
Then wouldn’t the possibility of matching be quite high?
“omg.”
For a moment, Hong Yeon-hwa seemed to have a similar thought flash through her mind.
And unlike me, who didn’t care who I was dealing with, Hong Yeon-hwa would definitely want to avoid meeting me.
So I hurriedly ran to the terminal and tried to cancel the match, but
“ah.”
He stopped running and made a face like a little child who had dropped his ice cream.
The match was made as if it was impossible.

[Hong Yeon-hwa 708 points]
vs
[Wang Min-su 660 points]
‘What day is it today?’
I only meet people I already know.
Maybe it means that the number of people who know about it has increased.
I spoke over my shoulder as I approached the stadium.
“Let’s go in.”
“Uh, yeah… … .”
Meanwhile, Hong Yeon-hwa’s complexion suddenly darkened.
Her footsteps seemed unusually heavy today.
As I entered the volcanic zone using the teleportation magic circle, a sweltering heat hit my face.
Next, Hong Yeon-hwa also appeared on one side of the stadium, and Wang Min-su appeared on the other side.
I waved to Wang Min-su.
“Hello, Chunsam?”
“… … It’s Wang Min-su now.”
“Are you going to keep using a pseudonym?”
“That’s how it is for the time being.”
Wang Chun-sam seemed displeased with this topic and immediately moved on to another topic.
“It looks like you took down Sakongwook well.”
“So-so.”
The Black Sword Faction of the swordsmanship club still disliked me, so they incited six swordsmen, including Sakong Wook, to try to wipe me out during the midterm exam.
But thanks to my enthusiastic use of the spiral explosion, their attempts were in vain.
I asked about the current situation of Sakonguk’s gang.
“What are they doing?”
“Of course I got crushed by senior Ma-ga-woong. I heard I lost 6 to 3. Is that true?”
“That’s right.”
There were six swordsmen, Ko Hyun-woo, me, and three calligraphers, but in reality, the calligraphers didn’t provide much support, so it was actually six to two.
Even with such a numerical advantage, he was defeated and returned, so Ma-dae-woong’s anger must have been immense.
I don’t know if they even had proper information about the spiral explosion, but the replay probably wasn’t saved because of the blood bomb incident.
I think that’s enough about Sakong-wook and his gang, and now it’s time to move on to the big battle right before our eyes.
“Let me ask you one favor.”
“What now?”
When Wang Chun-sam asked, I pointed to Hong Yeon-hwa with my eyes.
“Try to compete with him on your own skills. Of course, the replay will be made private.”
“Me, me and… … ?”
Hong Yeon-hwa opened her eyes at the unexpected proposal.
If you were to exchange a few words and then suddenly ask them to stick together, it would be embarrassing.
I told her too.
“Try it. It’ll be a great experience.”
Jang Moo-geuk and Wang Chun-sam are of the assassin class, and are the natural enemies of large-scale magicians like Hong Yeon-hwa.
If promising players like Jang Moo-geuk and Hong Yeon-hwa were to fight, they would be immediately stabbed and finished, but Wang Chun-sam’s skill level is only 0.8 promising, so he is slightly lower than that.
In that case, even a counter fight would be a decent fight.
However, Wang Chun-sam frowned as if he didn’t feel like it.
“I don’t know why I have to do that. Aren’t you just giving me good things to do?”
“Then why don’t you come with me?”
“… … .”
Wang Chun-sam’s complaints were completely resolved.
In a 2v2 duel, he attacked me and was hit with the Windforce combination, leaving him unable to fight in one hit.
Even when I joined forces with Jang Mu-geuk under the instructions of Ma-dae-ung, I was hit by Windforce and was thrown far away.
The results this time will probably not be much different.
No, there is a high possibility that the results will be worse.
Because there are rivers of lava flowing everywhere.
I consoled him in a good tone.
“Just do it as a favor.”
“… … Hmm, okay.”
Wang Chun-sam nodded reluctantly.
The contents agreed upon by the three are summarized as follows.
First, Hong Yeon-hwa and Wang Chun-sam will compete for second place.
Wang Chun-sam takes out his hidden skills and goes into the match as a assassin, and the replay is kept private.
And I just take a step back and watch.
Once everyone was ready, the countdown began.

[Start!]
– Kwakwakwakwang!
As the battle began, the volcano began to rain down fireballs.
Among them, a fireball the size of a house flew straight towards me, but I didn’t even think about taking a step and just stood there.
– Phew!
And the area where I was standing was engulfed in flames.
[Kim Ho 100%]
[Kim Ho 100%]
However, there was no way that a mere fireball could penetrate the S-class elemental resistance.
Even if you go into lava right now and take a full body bath, you will be able to maintain 100% of your stamina.
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
Hong Yeon-hwa and Wang Chun-sam’s faces were filled with distrust.
He checks the scoreboard, looks at me burning brightly, and then looks at the scoreboard again.
I politely extended my hand to them, who were speechless.
“Please continue what you were doing.”
