Boring Life In A Magic Highschool

Glistening Water (3)

Suddenly, a female voice speaking through the speakers intervened.

"The remaining number of students is 689. The remaining time is 43 minutes."

"I've focused too much on you two, that I've forgotten about the others."

Ryujin clapped his hands together, and bowed, causing shocked reactions to emerge.

"I'll be back, maybe in the 15th minute, I'll take care of them first," Ryujin added before he quickly jumped out.

Silence remained as they stood there in disbelief...

"That's Ryujin-like. *Sigh*, well, at least we got some time to rest." Kyouko suggested as she sat down on a nearby fallen branch.

"O-Okay..." The others hesitantly sat down. They checked their tracks, and as Ryujin said, he was indeed on the other side of the map.

"Uhm... That was a bit..." Hina murmured...

"Unexpected... Right...?" Arata awkwardly added.

"Let's use this time wisely. If he's coming back later, all of us better be prepared." Ryo suggested, all the while retaining his nonchalant expression.

He doesn't care about Ryujin's weird acts. All that matters is to survive, with or without them.

"He's right... I passed by Ryujin, and good grief, his speed is impeccable." Airi said,

"Same here. I saw him fighting from a distance. His skills are no joke." Haruto added.

As they were talking, two figures emerged from the forest, who seemed to be eavesdropping from the beginning.

"Right, right, he's crazy-strong." One of those figures spoke in a playful, and carefree, female voice.

They all turned their gaze towards those figures. It was a girl and a boy.

The girl has long, wavey, dark blue hair, carefree and playful, while the boy has white hair, expressionless and stoic, both in their white uniform.

"He's quite scary, indeed, indeed. But that aside, you were pretty cool, Mr....?'

She looked at Ryo in the eye, waiting for him to say his name. Their eyes met. The girl's gaze was friendly and playful, yet something lies deep within.

Ryo feels like he's staring right into the abyss.

"Who are you?" Ryo responded.

"Oh... Me...? I am a student from class A. I am acquainted with Akamine-san and Takahashi-san right there."

"Okay. What do you want?" He again, coldly replied.

"Let's win together. With just us two, it will be quite hard."

Ryo turned his gaze to Haruto, who quickly caught on.

Everyone on Ryo's side briefly introduced themselves to them.

"Haruto-san, Akamine-san, Fujimoto-san, Takahashi-san, Ayane-san, and, Kyosuke-san... I understand." The girl briefly looked at the tracker, before continuing.

"The hunter is still quite far away, and there's still 40 minutes right on the clock. I'll share some information I found regarding him so that we could all survive." She added. 

"What kind of information?" Kyouko asked in serious curiosity. 

"We stumbled on him earlier, and we noticed some things. Firstly, his attacks rely on speed and ambush. His most common attack usually involves suddenly disappearing, and reappearing somewhere around the target."
