〈Episode 115〉Yu-jin: Class President, let’s ride the wave! Class President: Class president! Class president!

In the city, an untimely rain began to fall.

At first, it was like “Wow, our water problem is solved!” But then it escalated to “No way, help me, I’m drowning!” level.

The poorly maintained floors quickly became slippery.

Amidst that torrential rain, Chul-soo was running between buildings with Young-hee.

‘I have no idea how we ended up in this situation.’

While running, he glanced back briefly.

Number of pursuers: ten visible ones. Plus some more for support or surprise attacks.

And there are probably some lying in wait along the expected route.

Combining them all, I think it might be just over thirty people.

‘Even if Lee Se-na is good at persuading people, isn’t this excessive? Is it even possible to gather this many people for a competition?’

What’s more, they’re all female.

This time, due to the nature of the competition, most teams were mixed-gender.

So where did all the men go?

Did all the guys accidentally get eliminated?

Is such a coincidence even possible in this world?

“Chul-soo, let’s turn left here!”

At Young-hee’s words, Chul-soo sharply turned the corner.

At the same time, he deflected an incoming ice spear with his sword.

Because of the waterlogged floor, he almost slipped but managed to steady himself by putting force into his legs.

“How much time do we have left?”

“We still have some leeway! But we should avoid fighting as much as possible!”

“Tch! If it weren’t for this mission, I could’ve lured them into a guerrilla battle.”

Even for Chul-soo, taking on this many people is dangerous.

Especially when you don’t know their exact abilities or strength, fighting would be suicidal.

Even trying to stall and endure while wasting time is becoming impossible because of an ill-timed mission announcement.

【Attention all participants! The second mission begins now!】

【Cross the bridge and move to the designated area! Failure within the time limit will result in automatic disqualification!】

【Reward: 1000p, Penalty: Automatic Disqualification from the Competition】

‘If we don’t hurry and cross the bridge, everyone—regardless of points or skill—will be disqualified.’

The problem is, the girls seem not to care about any of this and continue their relentless pursuit.

They don’t hesitate to waste time or throw themselves recklessly into the fray.

Even though they’ll also be disqualified if Chul-soo and Young-hee fail.

They show no concern whatsoever, only pouring out endless attacks.

‘Something’s off.’

While blocking an incoming fire arrow with a burst of magic power, Chul-soo tilted his head.

‘They’re not aiming for the championship. But why? Is Se-na’s popularity so strong that even the slim chance of winning can be ignored?’

Or was there some deal worth this much effort?

Maybe they paid money to recruit others?

But after thinking about it, he shook his head.

Considering the number of students involved, that alone would cost quite a bit.

Honestly, there wasn’t enough merit to justify going this far.

‘Anyway, there’s no point worrying about it now.’

With that judgment, Chul-soo swung his sword.

“Ugh!”

“Arrgh!”

Two women charging forward were sent flying by the blade.

But during that moment, a girl waiting from afar shot an arrow.

Young-hee’s deployed barrier deflected it.

“Frustrating, but we don’t have time to deal with all of them here.”

“Yeah, seems like they’re trying to take us down together.”

Thinking too much about it made his teeth grind.

It’s not a contest of skill; it’s these pointless tactics dragging us down.

For Chul-soo, even being outnumbered, he’d rather fight cleanly than deal with this nonsense.

“Haaah!”

Suddenly, a girl jumped out from around the corner and swung her spear.

Chul-soo easily snatched it away with a flick of his arm.

-Sky Piercing Sword Spin Kick

He kicked her away and threw the spear at another girl approaching from behind.

The girl who couldn’t dodge in time tumbled on the wet ground.

More students rushed forward, stepping over her.

“Isn’t this insane?! Do people normally go THIS far in competitions?”

By now, it feels like madness is shining through their eyes.

Watching this, Young-hee slightly bit her lip.

“Should I just unleash a big technique and blow them all away?”

“No, let’s hold back on that until the end. Using a skill we’re not fully in control of yet could drain our stamina dangerously.”

Even so, we can’t ignore Kim Yu-jin and the Class President.

Special tricks should be saved for last.

After running for how long…

Finally, the bridge we need to cross appeared right before our eyes.

But there’s a problem…

‘Barricades?!’

The bridge was already occupied by girls.

Not only cars, but even refrigerators were brought in as obstacles.

‘In a competition where cooperation has no merit, they’ve pulled off tactics like this…!’

In front of those barricades, armed girls stood ready to block.

Behind the barricades, mages and support-type girls waited patiently.

‘This looks like the formation used to stop advancing monsters.’

Many people had already tried crossing the bridge.

Nearby, several disqualified students lay sprawled out.

“Why…no, how are they doing all this?”

Equally shocked, Young-hee muttered under her breath.

In an academy competition, especially one where participation is mostly individual except for partners, seeing them move this organized is impossible.

‘There’s definitely something we don’t know about here.’

At that moment, one of the girls behind the barricade shouted.

“Haha, your competition is already ruined! This place is ours to dominate now!”

That person was Lee Se-na, who had previously tried recruiting Chul-soo and Young-hee.

Should we lie and pretend to cross the bridge?

While Chul-soo was seriously pondering, an unexpected offer came.

“Hey Young-hee! If you leave Kim Chul-soo and join our team, we’ll accept you!”

Huh? Just Young-hee?

Both Chul-soo and Young-hee looked at each other simultaneously.

What is this? A psychological warfare tactic designed to split us apart?

“Wait a minute! Why are you only calling me? Earlier, you wanted to recruit Chul-soo!”

“That was just my short-sightedness! Our queen has different judgments! She says she’ll only accept women! Men will be raped, and all males will die!”

Their faces twisted into indescribable expressions.

Queen? Only women? Kill?

What exactly is Lee Se-na talking about? Is she originally some kind of absurd gag character?

“Hey, Se-na! What’s this queen business? Is she the one who gathered you all?”

“You don’t need to know! Here, either sacrifice yourself for Young-hee or disgracefully lose in the competition!”

Her tone aside…

When Chul-soo looked at Young-hee, she shook her head as if to say there was no need to talk.

She didn’t have that strong a desire to win.

Of course, she’d like to see Chul-soo win, and she doesn’t want to lose to the Class President.

But this victory isn’t worth obtaining like this.

In fact, winning this way would make it meaningless.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t accept that offer.”

“If that’s the case, die here.”

Lee Se-na raised her hand.

The girls in front immediately prepared for battle.

Girls who had been following behind also took their positions.

We were completely surrounded.

‘Escaping isn’t hard, but we need to cross the bridge.’

To do that, we need to break through somehow.

However, there are barricades and armed students in front.

And there’s Se-na, who ranks high in magic, after the Class President.

Even with our combination, breaking through won’t be easy.

‘Guess we have no choice but to use full power, huh?’

Chul-soo gripped his sword.

Young-hee may not know, but he can recover quickly even after using full power.

Although he wanted to save it for fighting Kim Yu-jin.

But it seems there’s no time for that now.

We must shatter this situation with all our might.

‘After crossing the bridge, I’ll have to prepare myself for a brief rest, no matter what.’

……

Just as Chul-soo was gathering his magic power,

“Yaaaaaayyyyyy!”

An annoyingly familiar voice rang out.

That clumsy shouting and attention-grabbing.

Everyone’s gaze was forcibly drawn to it.

Not just Chul-soo and Young-hee, but even the other girls stared dumbfounded in that direction.

If I had to describe the scene in one word—

“Surfing?”

Kim Yu-jin was riding a wave on the river.

Chul-soo frowned as he watched.

‘Is he riding…ice…?’

More accurately, he’s surfing.

The river, swollen and fast-flowing due to the rain.

Whatever method he used, he created a massive wave and is riding across it on an ice platform.

‘The ice was probably frozen by the Class President, and the wave was created by Kim Yu-jin using the increased rainfall. Likely, the fine control is handled by the Class President.’

Of course, this is something an ordinary student could never come up with.

The overwhelming power of Kim Yu-jin and the unmatched magic control of the Class President.

This insane plan was their creation.

Who would think of creating a wave to cross the river just because the bridge was blocked?

No matter how you look at it, they’re clearly crazy.

‘If Kim Yu-jin didn’t perform some rain-summoning ritual, this heavy rain must’ve been completely unexpected. Yet they came up with this in such a short time.’

Frankly, watching from the sidelines, it’s not just awkward—it’s infuriating.

But the element of surprise is undeniable.

‘Most importantly, this is our chance.’

As Se-na gazed blankly at the absurd sight, she suddenly murmured.

“Eh? Wait a sec, why is the wave heading towards us?!”

Apparently, even Kim Yu-jin couldn’t leap across the river in one go, as the wave was heading toward the middle of the bridge.

And within that range were Se-na and the barricades.

The overwhelming volume engulfed the defensive line.

“Aaaaahhhhhh!”

“Splash! Splash! W-what is this?!”

“Ugh…the smell of fish…”

Torrents of river water and flying debris everywhere.

Girls swept away by the water fell into utter chaos.

“We can’t let them pass! Intercept them!”

Even Se-na, soaked like a drowned rat, screamed.

But none of the girls properly followed her orders.

Even if they had great breathing techniques, they were ultimately a hastily assembled group.

Actually, even well-trained soldiers wouldn’t remain calm and follow orders in such a situation.

A few spells flew, but most missed.

Se-na’s spell that managed to hit was intercepted mid-air.

“Ugh, those guys are so annoying!”

Se-na stomped her feet in frustration.

For once, Chul-soo nodded in agreement with Se-na.

“Hey Young-hee, let’s go.”

“Huh? Kyaa!”

Chul-soo picked up Young-hee in a princess carry and dashed forward.

Some students reacted instantly, but it was already too late.

-Charge Skill: Sky Piercing Sword Fog Concealment

Chul-soo, who had evaded guards while tailing targets and dodging mafia surveillance, found breaking through the encirclement of these panicked girls child’s play.

“This…!”

“Sorry!”

One girl who tried to counterattack and grab them was struck by Young-hee’s magic, flew back, and fainted.

Thus, Chul-soo moved swiftly through the girls.

Ultimately, Se-na could only watch helplessly.

“Hmph…what should I report to the queen?”

Though this second mission was filled with drama and chaos,

Both Yu-jin and Chul-soo successfully passed.
