(96)

It looked dangerous even at a glance, so I slowed down and approached, but all the children and a hunter named Pansu were lying down over the fog.

Hunter Go Dong-hyuk is nowhere to be seen.

I don’t know what the hell is going on, but I don’t think I can drive the monsters over there like this.

Just in time, I saw Jaehyun running from the other side, so I headed towards it.

“Class monitor! Are you crazy? Why are you coming this way?”

“You can’t go over there now. Everyone is down.”

“Falling down, what do you mean?”

“I do not know either. There’s a strange green mist, and everyone’s down in it, unconscious… It didn’t look good either. Hunter Go Dong-hyuk is nowhere to be seen.”

“what? Then what?”

“What should I do? For now, the two of us have no choice but to fight.”

“You two want to fight? How many have you brought?”

“My side is four. you?”

“I have six. How can the two of us catch 10… .”

I know.

No matter how slow and weak sick okra is, a monster is a monster.

two… No, I think I can do something with 3 if I do well, but 5 is absolutely impossible.

“Class president, can you still run? Let’s run to our comfort zone.”

“what?”

“Those kids are slow.”

“If you go into the safe zone, aggro will be released. If they go back and find the fallen people and attack them… .”

all die

“It can’t be helped. They all seemed to be in bad shape. I don’t know if I’m already dead. We have to live.”

“Lee Jae-hyun, what are you talking about like that?”

“Then what? If we fight like this, both of us will die. I don’t want to die.”

I don’t want to die either.

It’s quite a distance to the safe zone, so I can’t be sure, but I still have stamina, so if I run away like Jaehyun says, I might be able to live.

But then everyone… .

“Make up your mind quickly. Almost all of them are here.”

“yes. Let’s go for now.”

I ran towards the portal entrance with Jaehyun.

I was getting short of breath and the distance kept getting smaller, but I finally saw a safe zone in the distance.

I’ll have to talk a little bit now

“Hey, Lee Jaehyun.”

“Class president, if you have time to talk, run! Can’t you see it over there? It’s a safe zone if you go a little further.”

“Listen. I won’t go in, so you go out of the portal and ask for support right away.”

“Uh, what does that mean? I’ve come this far… Did you use all your strength? You can go a little further. Save your energy to speak and run, then tell me if you really feel like you can’t run. I will help you.”

“Who helps whom? On the subject of always falling behind when cantering. I have more room than you.”

“what? Then why aren’t you going in?”

“Why, you idiot. You said it earlier. If we both go to the safe zone, everyone else will die.”

In the first place, I had no intention of going to the safe zone.

* * *

“Class president, wake up.”

“OMG? What time is it now?”

“7:50. I thought the class president left first because of the attendance check, but there were shoes, so I looked it up just in case… . What is it, the class president overslept. It’s a big deal.”

“It changed after Min-ha became class president. Originally, in first grade, I often overslept.”

“right. I’m alive thanks thanks.”

Since it was my first practice, I couldn’t sleep, so I slept late, and this unfortunate incident happened.

The teacher didn’t come out today, so I have to go to the playground by 8:30 to check attendance… .

I guess I’ll have to skip breakfast.

I hurriedly prepared, skipped breakfast, and went to the playground… uh? I am a teacher.

“Sam? You said you weren’t coming because there was an event today.”

“It starts at 10. To be honest, I was thinking of sleeping in for a while, but someone wanted me to go early in the morning or see her off.”

“Are you the vice principal?”

“answer. I am also the class president. By the way, the class president also overslept?”

“Yes?”

“Release pretense, I heard it all from Yeonsu. Didn’t you even eat?”

“ah… it’s okay.”

“It’s okay, it’s the first practice, so it’s not okay. How to go hungry and attack the portal… right! hang on. Oh, all the kids in my class came except for Mincheol and Gyuhwan.”

“Yes?”

As soon as he finishes talking, he runs at breakneck speed toward the dormitory.

After about 5 minutes, he came back with a black plastic bag.

“Ooh, out of breath. It’s hard to run in the morning. here.”

They hand you a plastic bag with sandwiches and coffee milk inside.

“How did you get it? The store won’t open in the morning. Is the faculty canteen open?”

“No, they don’t open in the morning either. I bought it last night to eat it for breakfast tonight, so eat it in the car on the way.”

“uh… Then what about the teacher?”

“Teacher, you can buy it when you go to the association later.”

“Oh, sir! Why do you only take care of Minha? Me too.”

“I… .”

“Oh, where are these? You guys shouldn’t have had breakfast.”

“Sam! I didn’t eat because I overslept.”

“I am proud. Lee Jin-soo, how dare you cross our class president even though you are not in our class? go away.”

“Wow, a biased teacher who favors only his classmates. Boo.”

“Our Jinsu, do you want to get penalty points?”

“Oh, no.”

“Teacher, I will eat well. thank you.”

“Thank you. It’s nothing compared to how Minha usually helps the teachers and takes care of the kids as class president.”

“Yes? It’s only natural because I’m the class president… .”

“Still, being grateful is something I’m grateful for. There are 3 kids in my class in Group 6, right? There is no teacher today, so I’ll take care of the kids.”

“Yes. Don’t worry and have a good event.”

“Because Minha is the class president, I feel very reassured. Have a good trip, Min-ha.”

* * *

Among those who collapsed is Yeonsu, but I can’t just run away after confidently telling the teacher not to worry.

If we could have run away together until Yeonsu… No, in the first place, then Jaehyun would have collapsed over there, so he couldn’t have gone out.

“Park Min-ha… .”

“Are you crying? Hey Jaehyun Lee… don’t cry unluckily I’m Park Min-ha, the class president of class 10 in the second year. I’ll try to pass the time somehow, so you go out quickly and ask me to call the strongest wizard who can use recovery magic among the hunters around you.”

“Ah Okay.”

I was worried that he would remain reckless like me, but I’m glad he’s selfish.

We arrived right in front of the safe zone.

“Class president, hold on a little. all… I’ll come back.”

“Stop being silly and just run. I’m going to break right in front of you!”

Who do you know as a fool like yourself?

This is a 10 person portal.

If that guy comes back, the hunters who came to support won’t even be able to come in, so what’s the point of coming back?

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Jaehyun enters the safe zone and I turn left.

Looking back, fortunately, the aggro continued to pursue me without scattering.

No, to be honest, I’m not happy at all.

It was a lie when I told that idiot earlier that he could afford it.

I could feel my heart beating like crazy, and my breath went up to the tip of my chin.

Now I’m almost at my limit.

I looked back once more to see if they were a little tired… Sigh.

They’re following at almost the same speed as the first.

He said he was a sick okra, so why is he running so well… .

If I run away like this and stop, I think I’ll be beaten without even a single knife cut, should I rather fight?

No, I have to run to buy even a little more time.

Even if I die without a single cut, the aggro will be maintained as long as they eat my corpse… .

* * *

When the class president said let’s run, I pretended not to, and I was rationalizing it thinking that the class president didn’t want to die either… .

I really never imagined that almost everyone would come and say such a thing.

Really, I’m so pathetic that I want to kill myself… No, thinking like this is a luxury now.

I quickly passed through the safety zone and exited the portal.

“yes? Student, why are you alone?”

“Heh, heh… It’s Code Red. Please call the strongest magician around here who can use recovery magic.”

“what? Take a deep breath and speak slowly.”

“Code Red! Please call the strongest wizard capable of recovery magic!”

I shouted with all my strength, and the soldiers quickly called me, as if I had realized it only then.

“Student, the sergeant just called. What exactly is the situation?”

“Everybody inside has collapsed, so the class president is alone… No, just call a wizard who uses recovery magic quickly!”

“Sergeant, you seem really urgent. How long will it take?”

“I am talking too. Yes, it’s Code Red! Among the magicians capable of healing magic in this area, the strongest… No, to the closest wizard… all right.”

“How long does it take?”

“There is a party being cleaned up 12 to 13 minutes from here, so if you call and leave, it will be there in 15 minutes.”

“Fifteen minutes? Is there anywhere closer?”

“They say that a magician capable of recovery magic has the closest distance.”

15 minutes is too long.

Although the class president is at the top of the swordsmanship class, to be honest, it’s not that big of a difference from me.

“Soldier man, cell phone… No, please lend me the watch you’re wearing.”

“watch? Why all of a sudden… No, I got this as a gift from my girlfriend, so it’s a little bit… .”

“If it breaks, it will be the same… No, I’ll collect the money and compensate you with something better, so please lend me. Because I have to go back!”

“Student, what do you mean? Going in again, then how should the hunter who comes to support go in?”

“10 minutes… No, it will come back in 12 minutes. I do not have time. My class president could die! please lend me… .”

“Sergeant Kim, please lend it to me quickly. Don’t you say people die?”

“Know… You are solving it now.”

It was a waste of time to wear the watch, so I picked it up, checked the time, and entered the portal.

As I quickly passed the safety zone and ran in the direction Min-ha had turned earlier, I saw Min-ha running and dragging orcs in the distance.

“Class monitor! I’m back!”

* * *

“Class monitor! I’m back!”

It was so hard that I wondered if I had an auditory hallucination, but when I looked to the side where the sound came from, Jaehyun Lee was running towards me.

I made a stupid choice too, but that guy is really an incorrigible fool.

Even if I requested support, since it was a 10-person portal, more people would not be able to enter, so why did they come back… .

Are you both going to die?

“Class president, let’s change!”

“What kind of shift is shift, you idiot! He said he didn’t want to die!”

“You promised. I also called support. It takes about 15 minutes, so you can wait for it while changing shifts and leave on time.”

“Can you last 15 minutes?”

“Of course not. But 15 minutes is too much for the class president. So, after 14 minutes of taking turns, one person can go out.”

“How are you going to measure the time? I don’t have a watch.”

“I borrowed a watch and left it in the safe zone. I can leave at 1:08. Then, the class president will go to the safe zone this time.”

I thought I was an incorrigible fool… I was not stupid.

“From the safety zone, run to the left and turn around before going to the ridge on the right. There are no uphills, so that would be the most comfortable.”

“Confirm.”

I entered the safe zone and sat down.

Thinking that he was really dying, he looked around and luckily the watch was not far away.

The gear checks to use as little stamina as possible, and it’s only 12:55.

We have to hold out for another 13 minutes.

I wondered if Jaehyun would be able to hold out for about 3 minutes, but it looks pretty precarious.

Well, he probably couldn’t rest properly because he would have to go back and forth to the safe zone and even explain.

“Class monitor! rotation!”

12:57.

My muscles screamed because I couldn’t fully recover, but if I held on a little, I could save everyone, so I forced myself to get up and get out of the safe zone.

“It’s 57 minutes now, so change at 1:02.”

“Heh, heh… Can you last 5 more minutes? no, wait… You want me to hold out for the remaining 6 minutes by myself?”

“Even now, after only holding out for two minutes, what about six minutes? But if you rest for 5 minutes, you can run for 3 minutes, right? I’ll give you another shift at 1:05, so you go out at 8.”

“Ah Okay.”

They would change it on their own, but I was annoyed because they made me talk a lot, but I endured it for 5 minutes and changed again.

Thinking it was 5 minutes like 5 years, I tried to take a breather, but that guy limped.

I think I sprained while running… If it’s twisted, I’ll say it’s twisted.

I thought I would catch up soon, so I checked the clock and it was just 1:04.

If I shift now and let him go, will I be able to hold out until support arrives?

Only 1 minute rest, 5 minutes… No, if the hunter didn’t arrive, I’d have to hold out for more than 5 minutes… .

My body is very strong and I felt like I was going to die, but I couldn’t help it.

“Lee Jae-hyun, I’m going to change, so you get out now!”

“Hoo-wook… Has it been five minutes already?”

“You bastard. If you hurt your leg, you have to talk! Don’t make me talk too much when it’s hard, and get out now because support may come quickly.”

“Yeah, that might be it. Are you okay?”

“Okay.”

… You have to save the energy to say these three syllables.

* * *

“I should have run more… If that was the case, the class president wouldn’t have been like that… . I’m a f*cking asshole.”

Jaehyun, who was talking, finally burst into tears.

“Lee Jaehyun, why are you crying? The class president is not dead.”

“The arm… arm… I mean, there was none.”

Oh, you must have seen this guy too.

“Don’t cry because it’s not your fault.”

“No… . Because of me, because I’m an idiot… .”

“Who is it? You’re not an asshole, you’re not stupid, you’re not an idiot. If it wasn’t for you, I could have lost my life instead of my arm. Min-ha didn’t lose her arm because of you, you saved Min-ha’s life. Again, it’s not your fault.”

It’s my fault.
