110 106 Make sure to know thoroughly. (2/2)

We're looking for a structure that can be effectively obstructed and suitable for defense: ......

”I feel like I have a shot at flying magic.

Avoid the occasional falling tarai while tapping and attacking obstacles.

It's a vast space, albeit in a cave.

All of the obstacles can be cleared by the act of flying.

I can't help but plunge into that.

I think this would be more effective if it were purely a maze.

Is this area clear?

Looking back at the area you cleared with only your legs, you discover an uphill cave ahead.

It took me just long enough to run through to the next level.

If you include the first battle time, that's roughly three minutes.

”Partial release of monsters.

”I thought it would be easier if it was here or just like the one you just saw: ......

I had expected it to be time to release the monster, but the timing seemed to coincide with that.

I regretted looking back to see where it was coming from.

Something appeared from deep in the dungeon.

I stare at the object and the moment I realize what it is, I run as fast as I can.

”Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, this isn't fair!

The top of the food chain, having found its prey, screams and moves its feet.

That's right, it runs as fast as it can, tossing the cigarette it had just lit.

Such a waste?

Life is more important!

I've dealt with all sorts of monsters, from golems to goblins, zombies, and even bizarre insects, but the supervisor has done it.

I was led to believe that I was the only one who knew what was going on behind the scenes, but there's no way that demon would do such a tame thing.

It's more than just a matter of not cutting him off.

Choosing to fight that thing is not right.

Why do you have dragons in here?

My wailing is probably heard by the supervisor.

Against the wingless but mighty, black-iron-scaled, quadrupedal being that has become synonymous with all manner of fantasy worlds, my instincts sound my greatest alarm.

I have work to do after this, so the only choice I have here is to retreat.

The magic I can feel behind me is not as strong as the instructors, but it lets me know that I'm not a match for a real opponent.

”Don't you dare!　When it comes to escaping, it's the first skill I've learned.

Okay, this won't be a sloppy race.

Just like in a relay race, if the taskmasters don't connect, the runners will start, and testers who fall behind will be trampled by that dragon.

On top of that.

”You can buy yourself some time by kicking out the other testers!

I'm trying to run through the dungeon as fast as I can, avoiding obstacles and choosing the shortest distance, but the dragon behind me isn't getting any closer.

The search and destroy behavior of the testers was so extreme that I could only guess what the dragon was up to.

”That demon is trying to make me work for it!

I swear at the devil who has sent me a too tough existence, but the tension drops a bit as I can imagine the devil smiling at me mockingly, saying that it doesn't matter.

This will ruin my plan to liaise behind the scenes and create a sense of solidarity.

”d*mn it!

Complaining will not change the status quo.

Therefore, the key to breaking the status quo is how to come up with a good idea and implement it.

Tut!

Feel the swell of magic behind you and follow your instincts without turning your gaze to the rear.

Avoid it by quickly sliding yourself into the shadows of the rock as an oversized bracelet flies by.

Work off the heat you feel at your back and start running again.

You have some distance to cover, but if you keep going, it's only a matter of time before it catches up with you.

Still, now you just have to run.

You'll spend one, two, and three layers just trying to escape.

Just when I was beginning to think that this game of tag, which I was playing faster than a car, would continue all the way to the exit, I finally caught the tail end of one of the other testers.

”No, it's-

The enhanced eye caught a figure far ahead, but it wasn't the tail end of the line.

'All the testers are here?!

The other testers are stuck in the square, which is reminiscent of the arena I was in earlier.

Looking at the scene of several testers in front of a solid iron grate, which seemed to be an exit based on the direction of travel, I imagined the scene that was to follow.

If I keep going this way, in a few minutes, or at least a dozen minutes, the dragon behind me will reach the square.

Then, if you encounter the monster in the square where the passage is blocked, there is only one thing that can happen.

The top of the food chain (the dragon) will begin to lay waste to the city.

Huh?　Forced combat?　Ah!　That's what I mean!　Oh, shit you got me!　That devil has upset the very foundation!

I understand the supervisor's intentions.

The race itself is a setup.

The moment I'm made to understand, I realize that I too was deceived.

I want to sigh as I realize that I have been playing into the hands of the supervisor from the beginning.

This time, the testers are not in a race.

The challenge is

”d*mn!　You want me to work together to slay this dragon!　Supervisor!

It's a defeating event.

Perhaps the dragon that comes after me is set to be strong enough to take down the testers if they work together.

And the reason for hiding this and assigning me alone to work behind the scenes is

”And now you're giving me a hard job!　You want me to put together a tester!

If we keep going, we will be wiped out.

This was the moment when the event planned to improve the poor coordination of the testers, but next thing you know, it was replaced by something else entirely.

Ah!　d*mn!　I'll do it, I'll do it!

With a full-blown rebellious spirit, I had to think with all my might about how to carry out the events that followed in order to take revenge on the devil who had hijacked this event.
