- Thirty minutes before the alarm went off.
More than ten kilometers away from where Tenji is.
There was a battle for a certain number of points for many players.
I had no choice. Most of the players who saw Tenji's summoned match reported to the management that there were "monsters" and were trying to leave the place temporarily.
That is why a radical point takeover has begun here.
"... more and more footsteps?"
With that in mind, Kaoru Tachibana listens and counts the footsteps in this area.
"Eight, nine, ten... fourteen. No, we're starting to lose points here. We need to go somewhere else."
Throughout the previous final qualifiers, Kara had noticed that there was a problem.
A target named Watermelon is the most scoring source in this qualifying round.
It didn't mean that they were concentrated in one place, but that they were arranged in such a way that the absolute number was fixed for one area.
That's why you can't score points no matter how you scratch your legs if you just stay in one place.
Being aware of this hint early on was also included in the final qualifiers as an element to get into the upper echelons.
Kara, who had noticed it, looked back to move.
Let's go to the quiet side of the sound--
I muttered it small. It was then.
A fragment of stone sharpened Kara's cheek.
When I noticed it, there was red and beautiful blood flowing out from my cheeks.
"No, don't! Don't get any closer!! The shepherd is silent--"
I heard such words from a place not far away.
The unpleasant chills make your body tremble.
It resembled the feeling of seeing a spirit that was not in this world for the first time.
It turns out that something terrible is right there.
"You're a professional, aren't you? It's a shrimp, I can't stop crying because I'm weak and weak."
"You son of a bitch. Die-"
The next moment, a person's neck was rolling at Kara's feet.
Nature meets its eyes.
Unbelievable, my eyes are suing me.
I could see the raw light disappearing from his eyes.
Your body trembles against your will.
The tremor was unstoppable.
His legs were as heavy as Wenzhen's, and he was stuck.
For the first time, I've seen people die.
……………………
"There's a kid." There was a weak professional. What the hell are you doing? "
From a small, abandoned shop with pop crepe illustrations, a shadow emerges with a sled and turtle-like footsteps. When he gave him a troublesome stretch, he turned upside down, scratching his blurry forehead.
I thought it was a tiger-like man who was threatening me with a black-tip.
No matter how I looked at it, it was not muscular, but rather an unusually tall body that was supposed to be frightening. Underneath the eyelids, you can clearly see a dark, frozen bear that hasn't been removed for years.
Even though the man's eyes were very sleepy, his intuition whispered that he must never let go.
"Answer me." I've been listening to you before, huh? "
It was a blink of an eye.
When I opened my eyelids again, a few centimeters away from Kara's eyes - a man's young leafy eyes.
I was peeking into my eyes. Obviously, the sense of distance is getting stronger.
"-Oh!?"
"It's like a kitten." Can I crush it? I like crushing cats. "
Suddenly, the man's young leafy eyes disappeared from his sight.
And--the sound of purple came from Kaori's ears.
(...... uneasy)
Kara glanced back at her torso in reflection. Then, a few seconds after the zero comma, two sharp index and middle fingers of the man passed to the place where the two eyes of Kara were.
It was obviously a murderous blindfold.
But Kara didn't stop.
The long spear in his hand was swung up from the bottom at once, leading to a reflexive counterattack that he wore after years of training.
Even though her body didn't move as much as she thought, this year's rigorous training was moving her body on its own.
"Whoa!? You're fighting back!"
A man's voice came in amazement.
But ─ ─ the dull sound of a buzz and a spear cutting through the sky rang.
"But it's too late, it's too late!?"
The man with an extra smile shouted bitterly.
When I noticed it, the kick-up attack launched by Ka 'Ae was directly hitting the man's jaw.
The man who thought only the spear was a counterattack was egotistical.
Kara, who was using her body's flexibility to launch a counter-attack, kept her distance backwards like a bump. In the meantime, the man tilted his neck to the side and slammed his head vigorously from the side over and over again.
It looked as if he was enjoying self-harm.
"Ahh... my brain is numb. That worked, huh?"
…………
Kara reverses her posture immediately, and finally shows the usual posture.
It was the best preparation I could do now that I had been taught to do this by a mentor in the past year. The demon of fear had already disappeared from his heart.
(If you don't do it... this man tried to kill me for real)
The glow of his serious eyes attacked the man.
It was as comfortable as a lullaby for a man.
"Ahh... this is it." I wanted this. "
“You're a Black Explorer, aren't you? You think you're just gonna be able to get your hands on this tournament? There are countless professionals standing by in this area. If you surrender now, you won't be able to open the wound any further. That's why--"
"It's so messy, it's so messy, it's so messy!!" Bitch, shut up and show me you're alive. "
