I Will Survive Till The End: Blood Extermination Academy-Chapter 163: Vicious Thoughts

Arc 3, Chapter 163 — Vicious Thoughts

Artilla and Levon found nothing.

In the distance, Leo shook his head sideways, as did Rayne, and Shugo. Others also saw their head shakes, understanding that no clues were found.

Although no one spoke of cooperation, they were all doing so now. Only after jumping in does one understand how enormous this small lake-sized Pool truly is.

They had no choice but to cooperate.

...

Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.

One hour had gone by and everyone was incredibly confused, Levon included.

’Can it be that this... is just a simple gift and nothing more?’ Levon swam along the walls in a far off corner, touching the walls thoughtfully. ’No openings...’

Everyone was working together to find any hidden paths or anything that gives them a clue of what purpose this pool would serve.

Even Redclar, who secretly wished to kill Shugo, was very cooperative. The way they worked together, you would think they’ve put their differences aside.

But that’s where you’re wrong.

Oh... the two very much had enmity brooding between them. However, Strong people like them knew when to advance and retreat.

Nothing—no one could see any secret way out.

Popping their heads back to the surface, they fell silent.

"So it’s just a pool?"

"... I want to say yes, but my instincts tell me otherwise... and in this game of chess and strength, I’ve NEVER BEEN WRONG."

"Same. Look, I don’t believe this right here is just a mere pool. There’s something going on with it. But what?"

"Shit. My brain’s about to try from all this thinking. We’ve already used up an hour and probably an additional 5 minutes searching."

The one who spoke just now was someone from Hendrix’s team who went by the name Crawley. He was an outspoken guy with a personality that could be hot or cold depending on his mood. He liked cussing... but in a civilized manner.

He could cuss you out like a pro, without the use of any vulgar terms.

That said, don’t think that because he preferred a civilized version, doesn’t mean he couldn’t cuss you like a street rat.

"Look," Crawley continued. "I say we calm the heck down, take a step back and re walk the path we took earlier. Maybe there’s something we missed."

Then, Crawley activated his shard in the water after getting a nod from Hendrix.

Without wasting time, a vibrant Hammer shimmered upon emergence. Crawley had wanted to use his Hammer Shard and wanted to head back to shore.

However, the moment it emerged, everyone felt strange ripples appear on the water’s surface.

Then—

WOOSH.

They were gone.

’_’

Eh? Where the hell did they go? Everything happened too fast for those watching to comprehend.

One moment Crawley’s shard activated, touching the water; and the next moment, the group was being divided up and sucked away in various directions.

And when everything was done, the waters seemed to regain their earlier calmness, except now... there was no sight of Levon and the rest.

"_" [Those watching.]

"I knew it! I knew that anything that passed through that Witch’s hands won’t do any good to us."

"Exactly. Who in their goddamn mind would think Clara doesn’t think Clara means well?"

"Well, well, well, would you Look at this.... Do you know the time? It’s 9:30ish, at most 9:40... so tell me, with Lights Out fast approaching, won’t they all get eliminated here?"

"Heh. All those who got sucked away seemed to be the so-called geniuses. And here I thought we were the not so smart ones."

"That’s right. Take a good look around. This here is uncharted turf. None of us has ever been in here before during lights out. Meaning, we don’t bloody well know we’re any of the triggers are." freeweɓnøvel.com

"Fufufufu~... It’s only 1 hour, 20 minutes give or take, before Lights out approaches. So if they can’t make it out from wherever they were dragged to on time, do you know what this means?"

"PUNISHMENT." Someone added in amusement. "They are likely to get Punishment added once they accidentally touch the triggers hidden in this place."

Several people smirked, inwardly happy to see these strong sons of Fishes fall from Grace to GRASS.

Hmph!

So what if you’re all that? In the end, if you get dragged into punishment now, won’t you have to wait another year before taking the Phase 2 competitions?

It would be a lie to say they weren’t envious of these Strong people. But amid their envy, lay hatred too.

In the end, it’s because of these Strong people that their efforts have been neglected since day one. It’s not that they were not strong, but that these strong men and women were TOO strong.

Indeed, they were too, too, too extraordinary compared to them. During the last Phase 1 Competitions, they heard the numbers from the audience.

Apparently, without these top string people, their class would still be considered strong too. Those who fight in the 22nd battles and even those in the 30th battles, were still noteworthy.

How to say it? Their current Batch of Bloodren 10s had the highest concentration of gold shard quality.

Do you know how high that number is?

Typically, only 40~50% of Bloodren 10 batches should have shards between pile 14 and 19.

But in their batch, 78% of them had shards between 14 and 19.

That’s HIGH!... Too HIGH!

This meant that their batch was special. The potential of those in their batches, was noteworthy. But... but because of these Extraordinary Bastards in their midst, they became invisible.

So how could they not be hateful?

Many also hated strong people like Batista and the other strong Old 10s who added to their current invisibility.

"Hmph! Let’s see just how lucky they’ll be now."

With Lights Out fast approaching, several people slowly waltzed away, planning to take their baths before heading back to their rooms for a good rest.

Many prayed in their hearts, that when they wake up tomorrow, at least half of these Strong bastards will be eliminated!!!
