Chapter 19: First Grade
"Chestnut painting." Twilight said in a deep voice, "The cloak was given to you by Yuni?" "Call your Excellency."
The pink-haired first grader said triumphantly, "But for the sake of your imminent death, I won't worry about this for Yoni-sama." ”
She picked up the finely textured wooden longbow in her hand and aimed it at Twilight through two deep furrows.
Twilight held Asen in one hand and stuffed it into its mouth with the other, and quickly stepped onto the vine bridge between the two, and jumped in front of Kuri E after a few turns.
"No, it can't be, why are you so fast!"
Kururi shot the arrow in his hand in a panic, "You pretended to be before!" ”
She crouched down and pulled at the grass at her feet before Twilight approached, and the space twisted again, and a green blanket turned transparent as it completely lifted off the ground, revealing what was hidden inside.
Part of the trench had been artificially cut off to form a loose platform nearly three meters from above, and a rattan was tied to the stump of the grass from the bottom up, on which stood several first-year students with their hands tied to the rattan and their mouths sealed with duct tape.
"Don't come here!"
Kuriya compared the arrow to the rattan, "I'll break this thing if I come here again, and they'll all die!" ”
Twilight stopped about five meters away from Kurif-e, and because of the terrain, she was standing slightly higher than the stump of the tree that Kururi-e was close to.
She squinted her eyes at a few first-graders, several familiar faces who had taken classes together were now full of fear and uneasiness, and their feet were on tiptoe, as if they were afraid to step on the platform.
"You made up those Fuji bridges?"
Twilight asked.
"Of course not, how can I have that kung fu!"
Kuri-e's voice grew with nervousness, and her hands holding rattans and arrows trembled as if she were frightened by Twilight's unnatural dexterity, "Of course they made it up!" ”
"How did you build the bridge? Are you also using these illegal props in your hands? ”
"No, that's right!"
Kuriya gradually calmed down, as if she finally realized that she was the one who threatened others, not that she was being threatened, "The platform under their feet can't be forced, as long as this rattan breaks, they will fall." ”
Kururi grinned nervously, her round face no longer had the cuteness in the academy, but became more and more distorted, "If they die, it's all your responsibility, and you don't want to, kill so many people at once!" ”
"It's not me, it's you. You don't want to kill so many people. ”
Twilight said softly, waving her hand at the ragdoll rabbit lying at her feet, "Youni only let you deal with me alone, right?" ”
"yes!"
Kururi's hands trembled, and the first graders below nervously held the rattan tied to their wrists with their backhands, "I don't want to...... But Lord Yuni said that everyone is a competitor, and it would be better to die a few...... Mistress Yuni said that as long as you all die, I'll definitely be able to enter the second year. ”
"She lied to you, the first year can't participate in the ranking within the academy at all, we are just a reserve, and only the students after awakening can compete for the ranking."
Twilight's voice lowered, as if she was afraid of alarming her, "Teacher H said before that we weren't allowed to bring anything, but now that you're using so many props, what should you do if you're discovered?" ”
"It won't be discovered, Mistress Yuni said it's okay, as long as I put the things back to the edge of the forest after the assessment, she will take the things...... No one will find out. ”
Kuriya muttered as if convinced.
"So, no one can prove that these props were given to you by Youni, she can completely say that you stole them, and she doesn't know anything."
"No, it won't!"
Kuriya screamed in horror, only to find that Twilight was taking advantage of her subconscious waving her hands to quickly approach her.
"You talk nonsense!"
Kuriya roared, plunging the arrow into the rattan.
Twilight "Smack"
It struck Kuri-e in the neck, knocking her unconscious with a standard move that Elsa would reluctantly praise.
"Twilight-sama!"
Asen's little short hand pulled the half-broken rattan, and his legs kept kicking the grass, "I can't pull it anymore!" ”
Twilight jumped over Kururie's fallen body, grabbed Asen's ear, and then quickly pulled the rattan back.
She only felt the strength pouring out from the depths of her body, and the strength that had been only slightly worse than Aisha in the test must now surpass her.
A few first-graders are dragged up by Twilight, and when she tears the tape off their mouths, everyone starts gasping for air.
"How did you get caught by Kururi?"
Twilight asked with a puzzled look in their grateful eyes.
"I—We've just walked into the forest......"
Before the blue-haired first-year could finish speaking, a silver light pierced the void and struck straight at Twilight.
Twilight, however, kicked the blade in her hand away, and then stepped on her left hand.
The other first-graders screamed, their hands still tied in rattan struggling and writhing to escape farther away from them.
"How did you find out?"
The blue-haired first grader asked unwillingly.
"All the rattans have neat cuts on them, but when Kuriya threatens me with the rattan, it is an arrow that he raises."
Twilight pressed her knees against her back and tied her up again with the broken rattan in her hand, "I'm just wondering if Kuri-e is still an accomplice." ”
The blue hair glared at her fiercely, "Kuriya is an idiot, she panics when she encounters a small matter, and Lord Yuni will not pin his hopes on her." ”
She said, "Don't be too happy, we're not done with this." ”
"You'd better worry about yourself."
Twilight didn't untie the rattan on the other first-year, "I haven't seen you before, you're Eudora's second-year?" ”
"It's amazing to be able to blend in with the first-grade worship exam."
She picked up Arsen again and touched its head in a compliment, "But you definitely violated the rules, right?" The enforcers will take care of yours. ”
The blue-haired face changed, and he forced himself to calm down, "Lord Youni will save me." ”
"You gave Kuriya's cloak to Yuni?"
Twilight guessed, "Like I said before, it's not possible for a first year to steal a cloak from a young person, but if you were a second year and you stole a cloak from a second year, she would be able to get rid of it completely, right?" ”
"No, Mistress Youni will save me."
The blue-haired, pale mouth stiffened, more like he was comforting himself than refuting Twilight.
"Anyway, thank you for helping me build the rattan bridge."
Twilight sighed, "Anyway, someone will come to save you later, so I won't have much to do." ”
"Wait, Twilight!"
"Don't leave us behind!"
A few first-graders saw that she was leaving, and hurriedly shouted.
Twilight waved her hand away from them, ignoring them, and walked briskly back into the forest on the rattan bridge, only to find a few copper oil lamps behind the stump by the side of another bridge that she hadn't noticed before.
Except for the blue hair of the second grade, there were four people in the first grade on the side of the ravine, plus Kururi E, and there were four copper oil lamps on the grass, but only three of them were filled with lamp oil.
Twilight picks up the empty copper oil lamp and finds some oil stains stuck to the edge of the lamp, as if someone has poured out the oil inside.
Someone secretly took the lamp oil from here when she was entangled with Kuri-e.
