Chapter 124 - 117 (1/2)

The loud alarm within the train cabin that they were staying at reverberate inside the place. It caught the attention of the performers who were resting in their quarters.

Chun poked out her head outside her room as she curiously listened to the outside announcement. The robotic female voice continued its statement.

”Game Map 35, Beach Tahiti. Difficulty: B. Mission: Survive.”

The silver haired young man was in deep thought as she heard that. Concluding in the announcement, it indicated about a simulation game and it was only for the first years as currently there were no present higher-leveled performers because even Chun's snob roommate had been nowhere since yesterday.

She found out as well that the others except for her fellow first years wasn't back.

Chun had been suspicious about their concurrent disappearance which this sudden announcement was in her scope of expectation.

The mechanical female voice repeated its announcemeant again but there was an added information.

”…Departure; Immediate.”

Some first years were woken up from the booming alarm which made them to be unprepared about the occuring situation, as the mechanical female voice finished its statement, it instantly sent out the oblivious first years. Only those like Deter who had been a senior first year were able to realized the system announcement.

This was the secret selection for the promotion for a higher level. In fact, it depended in a performer's play in the field which determined their tier level up, if they performed satisfactorily then they could directly put into the third year performer's level and if they just survived in a moderate manner, they would go through the judges evaluation if they should be allowed to accelerate from their current level.

The blondie young man Deter had been ignorant that he was still not in that satisfactory level which could make him accelerate a year level. Although he passed the simulation games that were suddenly launched by the main system, it was still in a bȧrėly passable feat.

Chun wasn't interested with her fellow first years as she had just noticed them when they were booted to an unfamiliar environment. There were ten new recruits this year and five senior first years that was recruited last year. A total of fifteen players.

The silver haired young man wasn't the only to have weird aesthetics like wearing a half mask designed in a fox style as the others had a more bizarre taste than her. A guy in red blazing hair with orange higlights had swirling tattoos patterned in cherry blossom petals half of his face. There was even a short haired beauty who was carrying a certain instrument half of her size on her back, she was wearing a traditional clothing which was called kimono.

Chun was lazy to describe each of them as she observed her surroundings. They were by the shore and infront of them was the most bluish sea that the silver haired young man had ever laid her eyes on.

It was afternoon time as the slightly hot sunlight was hitting on their skin and if they weren't in a simulation game at this moment, they might already enjoyed this ideal relaxing view. Though, it calmed their tense nerves.

The calming splash of the deep blue sea hit against the land as it created smoke aftereffects.

'A B-grade difficulty huh.' Chun thought as she had no plans in bathing such dangerous water.

She heard the mechanical voice.

”Launching protective emergency chip.”

As it stated, in the far view from their position, the bluish water started to rise up as metallic non-corrosive platforms emerged out from the sea. It was a total of twelve platforms.

The siver haired young man narrowed her eyes as she saw the scene.

”A single protective emergency chip for every player. Duration: Two days. Failure to accomplish the task is equivalent to elimination.”

After that, it went silent.

The serene atmosphere became rigid as they realized something. There were fifteen of them and there were only twelve protective emergency chips, even without using math, they could conclude that only twelve players could survive.

A lean young man who was was wearing a track suit suddenly declared, ”I will be the first one to get that chip!” His nose went up as he confidently neared the calm deep blue sea.

”A sacrificial lamb,” The silver haired young man whispered as she light an incense for this ignorant person in her mind. She looked at the track suit guy with dead eyes.
