Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: First day (3)

The screen behind the professor changed...

[Imperial Calendar, Year 2801, First Month, Day 3]

[Event 1: Capture the Flag]

[Event Description: The event will take place in a forest, where the 5 classes will be established at specific points, each designated as their territory with a 5-kilometer radius. Each class's territory will be 50 kilometers apart. Each group will have a flag in their possession. Each group must choose a leader who will carry the flag. The leader cannot defend themselves or attack. Each leader must also appoint a strategist who will command their teammates.]

[Important Points: The event will last one week (7 days). In the forest, each student will experience cold, hunger, thirst, fatigue—basically, they will feel as if they were in real life. The forest will randomly contain animals that students can kill and eat. In the center of the forest, between the territories of the 5 classes, there will be a marketplace where food, water, and other supplies can be found.]

[Survival: In addition to the five classes, demons will be wandering in the forest.]

[Alliances: Classes will have the opportunity to form alliances with one or two other classes.]

[Rules: Killing is permitted, betraying your class is allowed, all existing rules are permitted.]

[Conditions for Victory: For a class to win, they must possess two flags in addition to their own. Every time you kill a student, you earn 50 points. Every time you kill a demon, you earn 200 points. If you manage to steal a flag from a class, you gain 1,000 points.]

[Conditions for Defeat: A class is eliminated from the event if the leader falls along with the flag. A class that has fewer than two members, in addition to the leader, will be eliminated.]

[Points: The total points earned by all students in each class will determine which class is in first place.]

[Good luck to everyone!]

"As you can see, everything you need to know is written on that screen. Even so, I will send the information to your mana watches. The rules are clear enough to avoid boring explanations." The professor's voice was as cold as ever, moving her hands dismissively. "Professors are forbidden from intervening. You must decide on your own who the leader and the strategist will be. You have today and Tuesday to make your selections before the event. Once you have chosen the two individuals, you must submit a report to me to verify the information is correct." The professor shook her head slightly for a moment. "That will be all from me. You have the rest of the time to decide on your candidates." After saying that, she went to her desk, adjusted her glasses, and took out a book.

The students remained silent, processing all the information about the first event. For some, the speed and rhythm of the academy were very surprising, suffocating even, or so their expressions suggested. Some frowned as if they were deeply worried or anxious...

"I'm hungry..." Evelyn lifted her head, staring at me as if expecting me to give her something to eat...

"..." 

"Art, why don't we leave this boring place?" Leslie pursed her lips as if she were dying of boredom sitting in the chair, her hands trembling, seemingly wanting to cling to my body like glue...

"..." 

Looking at the screen displaying the event information: "Luckily, it's exactly the same as the original game, no changes... on Wednesday, my life will literally be on the line... I'm the only one who has the ability now to stop the seraphim's awakening within Leslie... right now, I miss the protagonist... I remember what he did to obtain the seal. On the seventh day of the event, Leslie will suffer an identity disorder, in other words, she'll go mad due to the clash of her personalities. I'm not entirely sure what the damned cause of Leslie's chaotic mental state was... in the story, she simply disappeared from the protagonist's sight. The only thing he did to stop the awakening was channel his light magic into Leslie's body... Easy, right!!? By the demon goddess... what the hell will I do without a speck of light magic in my body!? I'm a wretched level 15 demon!! I don't care about the trial; all I care about is finding a way to stop the seraphim's descent."

Feeling death creeping around my neck again, light magic is the worst enemy of demons—it's a total death sentence! And at that moment, what was emanating from Leslie's body was light magic! Rolling my eyes...

"I'm hungry," I heard Evelyn's voice again. Silently, I took out a bread roll filled with jam, carefully handing it to Evelyn. She nodded with bright eyes and looked at me intently again... I took out a strawberry-flavored yogurt and placed it near her...

"..." 

"I'm hungry too!!!" Leslie's eyes gleamed fiercely as she watched me feed Evelyn, showing her white teeth like she was about to attack Evelyn at any moment...

"..." 

Silently, I took out a sandwich and simultaneously a soda, placing the food quietly in front of Leslie... she smiled brightly and nodded her head...

"..." 

Damn it! Is anyone really thinking about how to survive, and all these women can think about is eating! Don't ask where I got these things... it's a secret...

"Okay, everyone!! Can I have your attention, please!" In front of all the students, the saint stood up with a friendly smile on her lips...

Just like in the main story, the first to take the initiative was the saint, and in this way, she'll have control over the situation... quite a clever smile... well, that's fine by me, it's not like I care about the trial in particular... Watching in silence as Leslie enjoys her sandwich... it's best to keep her close at all times... yes, that's what I have to do—I won't let her out of my sight.

Thinking about some important things...

"I would like to know who wants to volunteer to be the leader," the saint began by asking for volunteers to be the leader from the very beginning...
