The base of the mall seems too thick for me to even think of some way to somehow bring it down. I wouldn't even be able to remove a small piece of rubble from its foundation without any help and I can't really rely on someone as I'm soloing this training.
But I could make someone do it without being enemies at all...The guy from earlier who broke the wall I was hiding on, was clearly effective against concrete. But wouldn't that mean, he'll get all the points for the demolition? That's giving away free stuff, and to the enemy too.
" SHIT! HELP ME! "
Huh? Isn't that another one of Rena's allies? Are they really struggling this much?... It almost seems like they're headless chickens running around... Is she even leading her team properly? or this is some strategy they thought of to somehow get the upper hand in this battle?
Rena wouldn't let even one part of her team get caught by the enemy. But she did remove me from the team... I mean I was mad about it, as how come the ever so loyal Rena, suddenly removes someone from the group and It's only me out of the bunch?
But these past few events had been a little too weird. And I'm not dense enough to not realize that.
Hmm... how will these affect my plans. I don't know, I should be careful in case Reign somehow become aggressive due to her side somehow crumbling down into pieces, whether it was on purpose or not.
Though this did give me a great idea, of how to approach this training.
...
Kekeke..
Multiple kobolds were currently surrounding me. I had my hands tied behind my back, and so as a few of my classmates right beside me.
I was inside the mall, or the lair of the kobolds, specifically on the second floor where their food storage seems to be. I know this, due to the amount of other smaller Inter remains scattered around.
So we're food it seems...
" Shit, you too Mon? " The one who was screaming earlier, Yang an acquaintance I've met during my workout and practice sessions before this big training thing occurred.
" Yeah, they're so many of them I thought I was playing some game in endless mode. "
" Fuck... With you're strength how are we supposed to even fend off these fucks. I thought the Kroligator is the biggest problem, but it's actually an ant infestation... " He complains.
Anyways, The reason why I was here was mainly due to this guy. No, I'm no saint to purposely give away my chance to save this guy from a training that doesn't even threaten his life. He was an inspiration, someone who made me realize how they react when they catch someone. And they were clearly not killing them, as they were still here with the teleportation saving ability applied to them not activating yet.
Thus as I didn't have anything that could possibly destroy this building. I was planning on infiltrating the inside and looking for either weak points or some tools that I could use while going into this demolition thing.
" So what now?... Aren't you great at strategies? What's the plan here? " Yang looks at me with glistering eyes.
" Glad you asked. " Yang was the reason why I got caught, not only because I saw him safe even while in the hands of the kobold, but also because of his innate ability. Although he's prideful and indecisive, his abilities were incredibly useful despite not being a combat one, which is debatable honestly.
Although it's not useful in terms of hand-to-hand or any form of combat. An ability such as this is something that is sought out even in wars.
" This plan involves you... no revolves around you. You're going to be the hero who's going to save everyone here alright? " I hold his shoulder trying to motivate him to help in this task.
" Alright, tell me the plan and I'll do it as perfect as possible! "
" Don't worry, you'll just speak and that'll be it. "
" Oh, I see. I'm the best at that, seems like you didn't forget. " He smiles seemingly have realized what I was trying to convey.
His ability might not be great when you look at it firsthand, but if you really think about it, the amount of chaos it can do was not to be scoffed at.
[ Speech Forging ]
The ability to copy any voice, habits in linguistics, intonation, and normal pronunciation at perfect almost undetectable values.
Yeah, insane if you think about its potential. I'm shocked I haven't even heard about him in the original story with such a useful ability. Although his lack of talent might be a reason why but regardless, his ability tends to make me not even care about those demerits.

Looking at him, his speed and dexterity are quite horrible. I mean he is prideful so that might be why those stats used for escaping are lesser than the others. He doesn't back down that easily.
" Yeah, you showed it off to me a few days ago, and it was honestly awesome. Hearing my voice from someone else's mouth was quite weird, to be honest. "
" It's something I take pride in. HAHAHA," He says while pumping his chest.
Hah, say no more.
" Alright then. There's only one goal for this plan. And it's to make the kobolds guarding us change their attention and focus to something else. " I called out for the others that were stuck there with us trying to make them join in with the plans.
Though some of them weren't as cooperative with them being on Reign's side. But that's beyond me, whoever wants to get saved shall get saved.
" We're not trusting some fucking useless Wanderer. I'll rather wait for Sir Reign's side for decades than join you bastards who got abandoned by a fake ass leader. " He scoffs while moving towards the near corner of the storage room, with a few others that are on the same side as him.
" You fucking bastard say that again! " Yang suddenly burst into anger as he heads to the guy's direction ready to swing his arm. Though the others managed to stop him before he actually managed to do something.
" Stop Yang... It's embarrassing... He's right after all, we gave our loyalty to someone who doesn't deserve it... " They look down, struggling to speak while laying down their pride in front of someone who had a strong backing while they had none.
Hah... Seems like my assumptions were right. I wasn't the only one that was abandoned by Rena. It was the whole team. What was the reason though? This was a step toward her life goal and is something she had planned for years as mentioned by her. Why would she suddenly stop and make all of those decisions?
Was it her dad?
Or even worse... Was it the unknown factor hiding behind the scenes?
Or is it a mix of both...
