“One can take the middle road, and the other two can go the side road.”

The guide had come to meet me in advance.

Seeing that the road splits from here, it seems that they made it difficult to estimate the distance from each other.

“Do you remember what I said?”

“Of course.”

“Of course.”

In-hwan and Sang-yeon disappeared following the guide, and Seong-hyeon took a deep breath in front of the gate where she had always fought.

“This is the most important time.”

While the 1st and 2nd graders were competing against each other, it was clear that the 3rd graders would watch the battles of the 1st and 2nd graders and analyze their power.

That was the privilege of third graders.

An opportunity to naturally get a bye and at the same time watch and analyze the battle.

The grade that won this competition had to face the third grader.

In fact, it was like a decision for a third-year student to become the academy representative, and it was similar to a custom or tradition to hold a competition between the grade-level representatives.

“From now on, we will start the academy year representative competition. We would like to inform you again that other team members will not be able to join until the battle on each road is over.”

The competition to decide which team to represent the academy and to represent the country has now begun.

When I opened the door to the room where the battle would take place, a battlefield different from the battlefield I had ever experienced was unfolding.

Like the cross section that the homeroom teacher showed, there was only one way for Seong-hyeon to move forward.

It was completely blocked off by walls on both sides and up to the ceiling.

“It’s a special wall.”

The material of the wall didn’t look much different from the other walls, but when I held my hand, it felt like it was blocked so tightly that I couldn’t do anything beyond this wall.

“There must be an opponent in front of you.”

He already knew all of his opponent’s abilities.

It was the same for Inhwan and Sangyeon, but if there was one thing I couldn’t understand, it was the other person’s sensuous realm.

Depending on how you fight the battle itself, and whether you dodge or block an attack, the flow of the flow is completely different, so it seemed that it would be easier to make a plate if you finish grasping it quickly.

“Are you going to see who is my opponent first?”

Seong-hyeon roughly finished grasping the surroundings and moved forward towards the only path.

After turning left and right a few times, I came across a fairly wide road that was difficult to see as a road.

As if to fight here, it felt as if the battlefield had been prepared.

“Are you Kim Seong-hyun?”

A voice came from the other road ahead.

The road on the other side was probably the way to the middle of this maze.

“…”

Seonghyun confirmed the opponent without saying anything.

According to Seongwook, the name of that person now is Kim Dae-hyun, and he mainly used a bow.

The Academy is known for his excellent bow skills and the ability to increase speed for evasion, but according to Seongwook’s information, he also had a fairly tricky ability.

That the arrow has the ability to guide.

“Hey, you ask. Are you Kim Seong-hyun?”

“okay.”

Seonghyun answered in a plain, half-speaking manner.

Perhaps he didn’t like the banter, Daehyun wrinkled his brow a lot, held the bow on his back and looked at Seonghyun and said.

“Aren’t the juniors being polite to their seniors these days?”

“It’s better than having no manners between people.”

“…”

Daehyun couldn’t answer any other questions because he had opened the conversation in half-speak first.

“Yeah, what do you need?”

Daehyun pulled the bow without hesitation.

‘Are there no arrows…?’

But the bow didn’t show what it was supposed to show.

It was just that there were no arrows.

‘It wasn’t a simple judo, wasn’t it invisible?’

If you use stigmata, you can easily get over it, but for some reason, it didn’t seem like it would be too difficult even if you didn’t use stigmata.

Daehyun looked at Sunghyun closely.

Up until now, I had been vigilant that my opponent was a healer, but the moves I had shown in the previous battle did not belong to the healer.

You might think that he has developed the ability to evade because it is the object that needs to be protected the most, but Seong-hyeon at that time did not simply show the appearance of evasion.

They fought against each other as if they had the same melee ability.

‘I’m not vigilant.’

In fact, it would be difficult to win the battle against the third year and go to the national competition as the academy representative, but that didn’t make him look like a badass losing the battle against the first year.

Daehyun looked at Sunghyun, who had not yet moved.

‘Aren’t you planning on moving first? That’s stupid.’

With a smile confident of victory, Daehyun tried to fire an arrow towards the sky.

‘ah.’

However, all he could see above was the gray ceiling, and Dae-hyeon clenched his tongue and changed the bow string toward the sky to Seong-hyeon.

“If you stand still, things will only get worse.”

Fortunately, this interior was on the wide side, and Dae-hyeon started firing arrows at Seong-hyeon.

invisible arrow.

Seonghyeon was staring at him without moving an inch.

It’s as if he knew he wasn’t going to shoot arrows at him in the first place.

‘…it doesn’t matter.’

The academy has never revealed this ability before.

Not only invisible arrows, but also arrows that unconditionally hit the opponent.

“A guide arrow to an invisible arrow?”

“…it feels good. What would make a difference?”

Daehyun smiled.

Not a single arrow that was now scattered would fly towards Seong-hyeon’s heart.

There was only one problem.

It is the healing power of Seonghyun.

‘I’m sure I can use it for myself…’

If so, it cannot satisfy the conditions of this academy, which must make combat impossible.

‘I have no choice but to follow the plan.’

If In-hwan and Sang-yeon had come out as opponents, it would have been easier to deal with, but Seong-hyeon had to take time because his inability to fight was death.

Until the other team member takes care of all of Sunghyun’s teammates.

“Let’s take it slow. junior.”

Dae-hyun thought that it would not be difficult to deal with Seong-hyun and to take time.

But there was only one thing wrong with this.

It is said that Seong-hyun’s movement has become incomparably faster than it was back then.

Seonghyeon avoided all invisible arrows flying towards him.

Slashing with a sword, twisting his body slightly, without missing a single thing.

It wasn’t just about avoiding it.

Listening to Daehyun, it was clear that Daehyun’s purpose was not to win this battle, but to pass the time.

‘You must have decided that you can’t render me incapacitated.’

Then, Seonghyeon had to kill Daehyeon as quickly as possible and proceed to the center of this maze.

And I had to lift the cup of victory in the center.

Because Sunghyun was the captain.

After judging the situation, Seonghyeon did not just dodge the arrows.

By resolving the avoidance movement while approaching Daehyun, I was able to approach Daehyun faster than I thought.

And the higher the speed of the body, the more the arrow could not grasp the position of Seonghyeon.

“It wasn’t judo… was it?”

“What, what?”

In that short time approaching Dae-hyeon, Seong-hyun grasped the identity of the hidden arrow.

Arrows were not judo.

It was just controlling.

In some ways, it can be said that the ability to control is a higher skill, but unfortunately, to the current Daehyun, the control did not reach that much.

Seonghyeon’s speedy movement was deceiving Daehyeon’s eyes, so the arrow was stuck in the wall or in the spot where Seonghyeon was before moving.

“Can you pass the time with that?”

“You cheeky bastard…!”

Daehyun, who showed blood on his forehead, gave a lot of strength to the bowstring.

‘If only the ceiling had been opened!’

Couldn’t make fun of that cheeky mouth.

Daehyun started shooting arrows at Sunghyun who was approaching him.

Even if it didn’t hit, you could control it anyway and hit it again, so it was important to fire a lot first.

‘What happened…!’

Seonghyeon was much more demanding than Daehyun thought.

It didn’t matter if it was simply that he moved quickly, as there were many in the 3rd grade, but the problem was of a different kind.

that there is no fear.

Not even the slightest twitch.

There was no fear of the invisible arrow, the unknown that did not know what kind of damage it would do.

It wasn’t just fearlessness.

He was sure that whatever it was, it wasn’t enough damage that could cause him to die instantly, and he didn’t seem to mind any wounds that bleed a little.

It was as if he felt no pain.

Seonghyeon now had no fears to the extent that she even thought it might be a beast.

‘…it’s like this kind of geek ability.’

Daehyun continued to widen the distance and fired arrows at Seonghyun.

He was able to cut off anything that flew in a direct hit, endured the arrows that did not aim at the vital point in order to divert his gaze, and avoided the arrows flying towards the vital point by approaching them.

He even had doubts that an experienced hunter might have disguised himself as Seong-hyeon.

‘Give us a little more distance…’

I was trying to drag the time with my body back like that, but suddenly I felt a tingling sensation and the pain came over me.

Daehyun, who had just been flying backwards, was unable to step on his feet in pain and fell to the floor.

Naturally, the arrows that were being manipulated hit the ground, and in the meantime, Seonghyeon was approaching his eyes.

“Hey, hey!”

Daehyun trembled as if he was facing a demon.

Appearance, ability to use, language to use.

All things considered, Seong-hyeon was a perfect human being, but it didn’t seem like that at all now.

“Still, this is a lot of work. Seniors.”

Seong-hyeon made Dae-hyun incapable of combat by giving expressions and words that seemed to treat him as a senior rather than before.

“…I tried not to use the stigmata, but it’s still a bit lacking.”

I would not have continued to use the stigmata if I had not known that my opponent was trying to attract time.

But I couldn’t do it without intention.

“I don’t think this person is the captain. So Inhwan and Sangyeon are dealing with each other?”

Seonghyeon did not doubt the two of them.

Even without confidence or without healing, they were strong enough friends, so the two of them would be waiting in the center.

The road to the center was not far and not difficult.

To the extent that the word ‘maze’ is useless, I was able to get to Jung-A by simply walking on the road in front of me.

As if to inform that it was the center, a door he had never seen before was blocking his way, and Seong-hyeon opened a huge door without disappointing his expectations.

However, perhaps it was a bit too much of an expectation, a scene different from Seong-hyun’s expectations and expectations was unfolding.
