The students were in an uproar.
They were confused, shocked, and angry.
How could the school change an important test like this at the last minute?!
The dungeon excursion was a test that was supposed to last five days.
The students would be given appropriate living supplies except for the food which they would have to scavenge for in the Labyrinth…and most importantly.
This was supposed to be a solo test.
Every student for himself or herself.
But now?
They were told to team up with other strangers they did not even know.
If it was just their classes then it made some sense as they would be somewhat familiar with their classmates.
But this was unprecedented!
The rules had changed. At first, the longer you stayed on a much more dangerous floor, and killed more monsters the more points they would receive and this would be very helpful in deciding their placement marks.
But now, suddenly the school wanted them to use teams?!
“The hell?! They can’t just do this!”
“Yeah!”
“At least inform us way earlier!”
They complained, however, their complaints were immediately shut down by Emilia.
“Quiet! If you have a problem with this we have no problems failing you for this!
So shut up and look at the team list that has been sent to your watches and meet up with your teammates!
I give you thirty minutes, and if all the team members still haven’t organized themselves by then, that team is disqualified! So get your asses up and start Looking for your teammates, NOW!”
The shout of the Vice-principal enhanced with mana shook them to the core, even some teachers had been affected by it.
And, even though they were grumbling, they turned on their watches and began to look at their assigned teammates.
Sabrina did the same and soon a holographic screen appeared in front of her.
[Team 55]
Members:
1)Alan Peccator.
2)Sabrina Wellington
3)Alexander Wright.
4)Kyle Flare.
5)Amy Lawrence.
Team Leader:Vacant.
Objective:Survive Five days in the labyrinth.
______________________________________
‘..what?’
She thought to herself while being shocked.
Three Top Ten students in a single team?
Isn’t this far too overpowered of a team?
She understood why Her bodyguard was included in the same team as her, her family had requested them to be In the same team for team exercises or tests.
But Along with Kyle who was ranked 6th in the first-year student rankings, this was unfair to other teams.
A monster who was Rank C at the tender Age of 16, She who, unbeknownst to a lot of other people had advanced to rank D by completing a quest.
And Kyle Flare, the youngest prodigy of the Flare Family.
A family that was ranked 6th among the top ten families of Earth.
This was unfair to all other students, But she wouldn’t complain, She was quite thankful for this development.
Her bodyguard was enough to handle everything here, although she still did not know if some restrictions would be placed on him by the teachers considering his strength.
What she was curious about was Alexander Wright.
The student that had brought a bloodied Alan Peccator to the infirmary.
She now had a chance to talk to him to find out what happened that day.
She resolved to find out what happened.
But first, she looked over to her bodyguard who was standing behind her, Wearing the armor provided by the school as well as a full metallic spear.
The gear was provided by the school to ensure that students used skill and not wealth to conquer this test.
And she was quite intrigued by the expression on his face when she did see him.
He was looking at the same holographic screen that showed the team members.
And there was an eerie smile on his face.
It was the first time she had seen him show that much emotion on his stoic face.
Just as she was about to talk to him through the spatial bond she heard a voice.
“Wow, looking at you in person, you’re even more beautiful.”
Turning her head over to the voice she saw a fairly good-looking boy with fiery red hair.
His jawline was chiseled to perfection, the facial features also and he possessed striking red eyes that seemed as if there was a fire burning inside them.
“May I please?”
He said while reaching his hand out, to which Sabrina reached her hand out and he grabbed it gently before kissing it.
This had become so natural to her that she did it without even thought.
It was also quite common among the higher-ups of society.
To kiss the hand of a maiden upon meeting her.
Unfortunately for The red-haired boy, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the area he had kissed almost instantly after it happened.
His face contorted before returning to his normal smile as he said while looking behind her.
“And this must be the infamous Rank first, Alan Oeccator, Correct?
‘Oeccator?’
Both Alan and Sabrina thought at the same time after hearing what he said.
Did he just mistake the name of his teammate, the rank first?
Was he stupid? Or was he confident in his backing?
She had expected Alan to correct him, however contrary to what she thought, He still had the same smile on his face as he reached his hand out for a handshake.
” Alan Oeccator, At your service.”
Alan said, while still maintaining the smile on his face.
Seeing this, The red-haired boy, who was Kyle flare, smirked and reached out his hand for a handshake.
When their hands intertwined with each other, Kyle Enhanced his grip with mana.
However, to his shock, he didn’t even see the rank first flinch.
And worst of all, he could feel no mana enhancing his hand.
He had expected him to not attack because of fear of his family, but to not defend himself as well.
Was he mocking the flare family?
Was he mocking him? Someone who was from the lineage of the most powerful users of fire was being mocked by someone who only had a single guild behind him?
He could not take this.
‘Hmph! You dare?’ 𝑖.𝑐ℴ𝑚
He thought while increasing the amount of mana in his hand.
However, No matter how much mana he inputted to increase his strength the first rank didn’t even enhance his hand and just looked at him with slanted eyes and a devilish grin on his face.
Alas, Kyles’s mana reserves were going below what he was comfortable with so he reluctantly tried to retrieve his hand.
At least that was what he tried to do anyway.
“Huh?”
He muttered due to surprise, No matter what he did, he could not retrieve his hand.
“Is this team 55?”
Suddenly, a voice was heard and Sabrina, Alan, and Kyle turned to face the direction of the voice and saw a girl with Auburn hair and emerald eyes looking at them.
She was Amy Lawrence, the fourth member of their team.
And she had luckily given Kyle the chance to escape because he instantly retracted his hand the moment he saw Alan turn his head towards her.
“Ah…hello!”
Said Amy with a shy tone.
Her cheeks were currently red as she was looking at what appeared to her to be the most beautiful girl, the most handsome boy she had seen in her life, and an ordinary joe.
“Ah, Welcome, Are you, Amy Lawrence?”
Alan said to her and she responded in a somewhat disappointed voice as if she wanted the one who was handsome to ask her.
“Ah. Yes, yes I am.”
“Great! Now we only need one more.”
Alan said, to which kyle responded.
“Ah, that pile of trash won’t be coming, he’s too much of a wimp.”
Alan turned his head to look at Kyle and then answered with a smile.
“Oh well, We will be disqualified if Alex doesn’t come, so I’ll go and pick him up.”
Alan said and turned around while looking at his watch that was displaying a map of the team members and their location. 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝑚
He saw that Alex was still in his room and he hadn’t even bothered to come for the excursion.
“Don’t bother, I’ll talk to the Vice Principal, She will listen if we provide her with a good reason as to why That wimp can’t come. Especially if it’s the Goddess who is speaking for our team. “Kyle said while looking at Sabrina.
He was true, their backing would be sufficient enough to convince the Vice Principal to let just the four of them go on this Excursion and exclude Alex, who should be expelled soon because he didn’t take his classes.
“Oh don’t be like that, Kyle, As I said I’ll go pick him and if he doesn’t come despite that, then we can talk to the Vice Principal.”
And as he said that, Alan turned around to head towards Alex’s Dorm when he heard Sabrina’s voice inside his head.
[I’m coming as well.]
However, he quickly shut her down.
[Dont bothers, We only have 25 minutes left and the Sheep Dorm is far from here, I also haven’t been there before so I can’t teleport, just collect the Supply bag from the school and wait for me.]
[I don’t want to be left alone here.]
[Why?]
[Because the moment they all notice you leave, I’ll be surrounded by Idiots.]
‘…this girl…’
Alan thought and replied.
[With your weak Physique, you will only slow me down, I’ll be back in about five.]
[Five?]
[Five minutes…]
[oh]
And without saying anything else, Alan stormed off at a great speed.
And finally, once he got out of everyone’s sights, did he reveal a devilish smile on his face while he Used Short Distance teleportation to go The Sheep Dorm.
