Chapter 17: Lost at the starting line
After the students finished their dinner, everyone went back to their rooms, everyone waiting for the "game" to begin, except for two people.
When Friys and Glo Ruifeng returned to their room, they fell asleep, they slept in the same bed, while Seckt and Nightwind did not dare to sleep, and they looked at the two of them on the bed with a helpless expression, hoping that they could get up on time.
As soon as twelve o'clock passed, Seckert immediately opened the door and went outside, and he saw that many people had already set off.
"Night Wind! Wake them up! ”
When Nightwind heard this, he immediately called for Friyis and Gloom Maede, but they slept like dead pigs.
Seckert ...... No way......"
"Didn't you tell them to pay attention to the time?!"
"I called...... But ......"
Secter looked at the sleeping figures of Flyss and Glo Ruifeng sleeping in the same bed, and their cute appearance made Seckert unbearable.
"Forget it...... I slept. ”
Seckert went to bed, because if he didn't leave now, it would be better to replenish his spirits later.
"Hey!!! You slept too?! ”
Night Breeze looked at Freyis and Gloomy Ruifeng, who were so lovely even when they slept, and the white feet together and the beautiful appearance made Night Breeze angry, and she also ran to bed.
…………………………………………
"Sister Night Wind! Seckert! Get up! Kaple-chan will change clothes! ”
Because of the noise of Friys, Nightwind and Seckert were also woken up.
"Sister Night Wind, get up! It's six o'clock in the morning! "Friys looked anxious, because she felt that if she didn't leave, she would lose at the starting line.
"Okay, okay...... Don't be afraid...... We're already in the last ......"
"Huh...... Why? ”
"All of them left last night."
"What should we do, Xiaofu?"
"Let's get going."
Friys and his party set off in the top spot and half a day behind.
"How do you feel like you're running so easily?"
"I've helped you remove the resistance."
"It seems to be so strong!"
Friyse and his party easily arrived at the border, and the team of the "Competition" had already reached the first relay station, the royal capital.
Wangdu is one of the most important cities in the human kingdom, and there are rare things and hotels from all over the world, so it can give students a good rest, of course! Students also have the option to move on.
"It's finally here, and we, the Knights of Maple Tea, must win for Xiaofu and Maple Sauce."
"Commander, where are the Xiaofu sauce and maple sauce? Shall we go find them? ”
"Deputy Commander, you want the faith of our Fengfu Knights, Her Royal Highness the Princess is always mysterious, and she will appear when the time comes."
"Oooh! Worthy of being the head of the regiment! ”
"Hahaha! Ok ok. ”
……………………………………………………
"Come on Seckert!"
"Come and help! Don't just watch! ”
"Who told you to take a shortcut?!"
"Are you two crawling on your own?! I can't move my back. ”
"Humph! Two seven-year-old girls can't carry their backs, it's rubbish, we're here ourselves. ”
Friys and Gloomy Maple descended from Seckert's back, and the two of them grabbed the stone wall, and then Friys summoned the bloodbird, and she used the blood to make blood spikes and blood ropes to grab at once.
"Ah...... It's coming up. ”
Seckert looked confused on the stone wall, because Friys could come up alone, so why did someone carry her.
Friys also made two big bloody hands, and she picked up Gloom Ruifeng, and then picked up Seckert and Nightwind one by one.
"Pretty fast!" Night Wind said excitedly, because this method was the first time he had tried it.
"Keep walking, you can go over this mountain to the royal capital."
Secht continued to walk with the three of them, and suddenly he stepped on something, and then some green gas enveloped the crowd.
By the time the gas had dissipated, everyone else had passed out, and Seckert was the only one left to hold on to consciousness.
A bird as big as a giant bear appeared in front of Seckert, and he looked at the three behind him, and he raised his axe with a determined look in his eyes.
Seckert eliminated his resistance, and he quickly launched resistance at the giant bird, but the giant bird moved quickly, and Seckert couldn't touch it at all.
The giant bird flew high into the air, but with no help at Secket, the giant bird launched an attack on Secket.
Several wind blades struck Secket, and the helpless Seckett could only dodge, and the giant bird suddenly stopped attacking.
Seckert was puzzled that the giant bird had stopped attacking, but he quickly thought of something, and he hurriedly looked at the environment behind him.
"I see!"
Seckert was forced by the wind blade to a stone wall, and the trees next to it were all dense, and there was not much room to walk out.
When Seckert looked up again, the giant black was gone, and Seckert looked around for the giant bird, and when Seckert found it, the giant bird had already fired several wind blades.
Seckert didn't have time to dodge, and Seckert was torn apart by the wind blade, and the ground was covered in blood.
……………………………………………………
"I !!"
"Ah...... You're awake. ”
"The White Killer?"
"Then I'm leaving."
"Wait...... I'm not......? ”
"You fainted from the green gas when you fought the giant bird."
"Really......?"
"That's right...... Let me remind you, that giant bird is a Shiki. ”
"Shikiling?!"
"Goodbye."
"Hey! Wait......"
Itkati left quickly, leaving only Sector and the three who had not yet woken up, Sector was now in a state of confusion because he remembered that he had been torn apart by the Giant Bird's Wind Blade, but now he only fainted and was saved by the "White Killer".
Seckert sat on the ground thinking about something, and then he had an incredulous expression.
"Try it......"
Secht made up his mind to swallow a mouthful of saliva, he picked up the dagger of the night breeze beside him, and aimed it at his own heart, and he stabbed it down at once.
When Seckert woke up again, he saw that all three were surrounding him.
"Seckert, are you awake?"
"...... me?"
"You just stepped on something and fainted."
"Isn't that right...... When I woke up, Sister Nightwind and Kaede-chan hadn't woken up yet, but Seckert was the last to wake up. ”
Seckert did not speak, and Flys, seeing that no one else had spoken, continued, "Have you seen the birds? ”
When Friys said it, everyone said yes in unison, and Seckt thought that the giant bird was the key, but he wasn't sure if what he was seeing was true.
"What's wrong, Seckert?"
"You hit me."
Nightwind unceremoniously slapped Seckert, and Friys and Gloom felt pain when they looked at it, but Seckert was relieved because it was Nightwind he had known for many years.
"Huh......... You're still laughing, you're so perverted......"
Nightwind ignored Seckert as she told the other two to continue on their way, and Seckert hurried to follow.
…………………………………………………
When the four of them arrived in the royal capital, they saw that many of them had not left, but at first the people that Seckert had recorded to guard against were nowhere to be seen, but only the people of the Knights of Maple were still there.
"It's Her Royal Highnesses! Head! ”
A tall, obese man walked up to Friis and Glove Maede.
"Would you like lunch, princesses, we're ready."
"Just give us four loaves of bread."
"I'm going to get bread for Her Royal Highness!!!! princess"
The regimental commander shouted to the three men behind him, who immediately went to the house next to him, and in a few moments the three men took out the bread in fine packaging.
"Thank you...... I'll give you one more. ”
After the head of the Knights of Fengfu took it, he showed an excited expression.
"This has been touched by Xiaofu-chan, !!"
The Knights of Maple Fur, like a pervert, made the four of Friyis say thank you and hurry away, and in order to win, they took a loaf of bread and set off.
"Resistance has been removed."
"Thank you."
The four of Friys set off towards the next station, which was set up in the public forest, the Doveso.
………………………………………………
On the way, Seckert suddenly took out a piece of paper and showed it to the three of Friys.
"Look at it......"
"...... this?"
This piece of paper is about the "competition", and the main content is to say that the current ranking of each player in the royal capital and some dark horses.
"I'll see...... There are a total of 200 groups, and the leader of the first place is called Zize......"
"Who is Sister Zize of Night Wind?"
"Although Zize is not a genius student, he is the one who works hardest, he is one year older than me, he has not stayed in class, so he should have studied for three years."
Zize ...... It's so strong! ”
"However, he is usually taciturn and has no friends, but he has no influence from external factors, so he is already at the seventh order, and by the way, he is an orc."
"I see Seckert's name!"
"Where's Maple-chan?"
"Dark Horse, this ......"
"Wait! Dark horse?! We're actually in the dark horse! But the ranking is also at the end. ”
"Uh...... I think my father did it......"
"It's kind of like ...... Let me see...... The dark horses also include the Zze team, the Knights of Maplef, and the Gangrav team...... Even Whiteya has it! ”
After hearing Gangraf, Seket suddenly spoke, "Gangraf is a dwarf, and he is also the second son of the dwarven king, and he is also among the best in the Lesmat Academy. ”
"He's second...... The feeling is also strong. ”
Forpiman...... My father told me to be careful of him. ”
"Forpiman? He's only one hundred and eighty-five. ”
"Really......? Then why does my father want me to guard against him? ”
After reading this, Friyis and his party continued in the direction of the Dovetail Forest, and this time they needed to "walk along the river in the Dovetail Forest, and there will be a deceased person to lead the seeker out of the underworld" but this is a side route, and they can go directly to the road or go to the emergency rest place to rest.
