Chapter 49 - Founding Day Ceremony II

"The first game will take place in the academy forest. There are 33 green flags and 26 red flags. The goal is to find these flags, find the green flags first and take it to where the red flag is at, once you pick the red flag you're to bring it back to the academy grounds. Red flags are not enough as you see, so it's first come first serve. The obstacles shall be ferocious mythical beast that have no sense of reasoning, tier A mythical beast. Note that mount is not allowed. The 26 party that win will advance to the next round and the first three parties to bring the red flag will be parties 300AP, second three parties 150AP and third three teams 50AP. The parties that were not able to pick a red flag will be disqualified and would only be awarded AP based on recommendations from alumni. Time limit is 45 minutes All parties should get in place and get ready.

"What's your party name?"

"...."

"...."

They all looked at Rein.

Rein shakingly smirked,

"Redmoon party", 'i totally forgot about the party name, how can I!!'

The alumnus looked at all of them, "well fair enough...compared to others you all are few but I trust that you are skilled at least above average. I can make do of the numbers here."

Zolin looked around and asked the Alumnus, "shouldn't we be heading out?"

"is that what you think?".

Zolin answered, "yes... It's first come first served if we don't take the green flag fast and head to where..."

The Alumnus cut in, "shut up.."

They all frowned at the alumnus and then Rein spoke out, "that's rude... a.. apologize"

"how silly... Do you know who I am?"

"At this point we just might not care anymore" Rein stood up to him.

Jon sighed and held him back, "come on now you all, don't be disrespectful."

"You, you and you..." the alumnus pointed to Rein, Zolin and Sigrid, you're tasked with running towards the red flag, do not worry about any green flag, save as much time as you can and run towards the red flag"

Rein wanted to speak out and object the alumnus when Jon sent him a glance, he then responded, "... alright"

The three of them ran into the forest.

"do you mind, if I ask you to explain your plan Strategist YhuZia."

"hoh?...I was right about you, you're not like the rest. Why then would you make a dumb person your leader knowing you are more than capable"

"you call him dumb... I call him unpredictable, even you can't deny it... There's something about him that seems off but yet you can't tell what it is. He seems very weak, sometimes he's seems strong, sometimes it's like he has potentials, sometimes he's useless. The point is that he can't be read just like how you read everyone here except him, you weren't able to read him, that's why your eye bled"

Strategist YhuZia smiled, "just how much do you know about me, i see you visit the library a lot. You're smart no doubt but gambling on a person like that, you could loose all."

Jon looked into Strategist YhuZia's face. "I've decided to gamble it, my hunch has never been wrong."

"so you want to enslave yourself to someone even when you can shine better on your own?"

"you're thinking too far ahead sir. For now I just want to watch him."

YhuZia smiled, "whatever... well let's go steal some flags"

Quetzalxochitl looked at them throughout all their conversations and acted like a ghost while wondering, "(what did he see in that brat to make him trust and vouch for him so much.... did Zolin see it too or he's just having fun..? Well whatever I'll go with the flow)"

"(as expected, the head instructor never mentioned that we couldn't steal flags, not to say this is a brutal academy anything can happen in times like this. We'll steal flag of someone that is almost at the red flag, Rein and the rest will protect a red flag till we arrive. So the only thing we should be worried about is getting to the academy grounds very quick, so we can get some points)" Jon's eye widened as he was walking into the forest. He saw a northern guy with rough, unpacked white hair, in sky blue clothing walking out of the forest with red flag with prince Eztli at his back. "(what isn't that the guy who alone took 170 tags during the tag test... with prince Eztli... It's not even ten minutes yet..?)"

"well there are monsters like that too this time. I miss the old days in the academy"

The three of them vanished into the forest.

"Draw sword"

swosh~

[target has received 2431 damages]

"aarrrgghhh"

The chubby guy screamed as Rein stabbed him on his left shoulder with White dragon.

'damnit.. I hate that I have to be hurting people that just want to take flag' he gritted his teeth
