"Tomorrow at dawn..." "The bottle containing the escape golem will shatter on its own."
"That is also the deadline for this test."
Sense said calmly.
Then, she glanced at Yulian and received a nod from chief Examiner Yulian.
Only then did she solemnly announce.
"So, I now announce."
"The second round of the First-Class Mage test officially begins!"
It has begun...
Eighteen people gathered in groups of two or three.
Discussing tactics.
After all, this was the Royal Tomb of the United Empire.
If they were to rush in recklessly like this, they probably wouldn't even know how they died!
"Which group do you think it would be better for us to follow?"
Sense, who had retreated to Yulian's side, spoke softly.
She was a little curious.
Curious about the Demon beside her.
Curious about how Yulian, this Demons, was different from all the Demons she had ever seen or heard of.
"Hmm…"
Yulian originally wanted to say without hesitation that he would definitely go in with Frieren and Fern.
But looking at the crowd that had dispersed into seven or eight small teams.
Yulian hesitated again.
Serie's task was to reduce the number of Mages who passed.
If he kept following Frieren and Fern.
He couldn't possibly make them his task targets, could he?
And directly telling Sense about Serie's idea.
It was even more impossible for Sense to let him act on his own.
After all, she wasn't the kind of person who would affect candidates for the sake of some so-called task goal.
Yulian saw a rare sense of justice in her.
Although it was deeply hidden by Sense.
Although Sense's surface was that of a lazy, quiet young girl.
But Yulian could just feel that inexplicable sense of justice.
She was a good person.
Yulian pursed his lips, slightly amused by himself.
"What's wrong?"
Sense saw that he didn't answer her.
Yulian, who smiled inexplicably, his eyes slightly widened.
As expected, he was a strange Demons.
"Well, you go with Frieren and Fern."
"As for me..." Yulian's gaze swept over Kanne and Lawine, Land and Übel, the bald guy's group, Denken's group, the golden-haired big sister's group, and the Wirbel group.
Under Sense's curious expression.
Yulian said.
"As for me, I'll be alone."
Alone…
Sense slightly furrowed her beautiful eyebrows.
This was the Ruins of the King's Tomb.
If it wasn't a team effort.
If they were unlucky, even she herself could fall inside the Ruins of the King's Tomb!
"Are you sure?"
Sense gently bit her thin lips.
She asked again.
"Guaranteed."
Yulian made an OK gesture.
The only pity was that he had been thinking of letting Miss Sense give him a good shoulder massage and leg massage before.
It seemed…
"See you deep inside the Royal Tomb."
Yulian added.
The benefits he had finally earned couldn't go to waste.
He would just work hard, try to eliminate a few people, and then go to meet up with Sense!
"…Alright."
Looking at his constantly changing expression.
Sometimes hesitant and melancholic, sometimes a flash of sudden joy.
Yulian, whose emotions changed so much.
Sense was silent for a moment before slowly responding.
Because she suddenly felt like she was the Demons.
After all…
Sense tilted her head slightly, looking deeply at Yulian, who couldn't help but grin mischievously.
She couldn't help but cover her sight with her hair.
After all, can the emotions of the Demons really be so rich…
"Should we continue to look for Frieren together, Lawine?"
Kanne and Lawine stood not far from Frieren and Fern.
They were discussing in low voices.
"I think we passed the first round of the test with Frieren's help…"
Lawine pursed her lips.
"For the second round of the test, we should try our best to rely on ourselves."
Although she had a route from her brother that could reach the absolutely safe depths of the Royal Tomb.
However, there were Water Mirror Demons inside.
She couldn't be sure if a copy with her own memories would know this route and ambush her.
If inviting Frieren and the others together ended up backfiring, Lawine wouldn't forgive herself…
Besides, if it was Frieren.
She would definitely be able to reach the deepest part of the Royal Tomb!
…
"Hey, Four-Eyes."
Sitting on a broken, collapsed stone pillar at the entrance of the Royal Tomb.
Übel hooked her lips and spoke.
"Do you have any ideas?"
"I told you my name is Land."
"Got it, Four-Eyes."
Land adjusted his glasses with a hint of helplessness.
Seeing that Übel was unresponsive, he had no choice but to state his opinion.
"Since the test requires reaching the deepest part of the Royal Tomb and does not involve confrontation between Mages..." "Then cooperation is naturally the best method..." Übel pinched Land's cheek in surprise.
As a result, Land casually swatted her hand away.
"But, since it's cooperation, you naturally have to find someone you can trust."
"Who knows if a nominal teammate will abandon you?"
"So, I am your recognized teammate, right?"
Übel covered her mouth, laughing.
Land, however, turned his head away.
Rarely, he didn't retort again.
…
"I've heard my elders talk about this Royal Tomb..." "There are many traps and mechanisms inside, so you must be careful!"
A pink-haired girl wearing a white dress and a pair of brown boots.
Facing the golden-haired big sister, she pointed to the tall stone pillar carved with guards at the entrance of the Royal Tomb and spoke excitedly.
"Länge..."
"This is a First-Class Mage test, please be sure to be careful."
Methode, with long golden hair and the appearance of a big sister, showed a hint of helpless bitter smile.
It seemed that this Miss had completely latched onto her.
"I know~"
Länge brushed her pink long hair, revealing a sweet smile.
"But aren't you here?"
"After all, we are comrades who have experienced the first magic test!"
Yulian took all of this in.
A smile played on his lips.
He had already chosen the first person to be eliminated!
It's decided!
Pink-haired girl!
"I'm going over."
He simply said to Sense.
Yulian walked towards Länge's side.
Sense also hesitated for a moment before walking to Frieren and Fern's side.
Just now, Frieren and Fern had already decided to set off.
"Okay, I'll go with you..." Sense walked to Frieren and Fern's side.
She spoke softly.
Frieren glanced at Sense in surprise, then pouted.
"Don't get in our way."
"Frieren..." Fern puffed out her cheeks, looking at Frieren.
How can you warn someone when they haven't done anything yet!
And this person is also one of the examiners.
"Don't worry, I won't get in your way."
Sense nodded indifferently.
She explained.
"Of course, I won't help you either."
More and more teams were preparing to set off.
After some discussion, Denken finally couldn't sit still and blocked the entrance of the Royal Tomb.
"Everyone..."
"The Royal Tomb in this test was built during the United Empire period. Although there are many entrances, each one can reach the deepest part of the maze."
"As long as we work together, there is a great chance..." Denken's speech was not over yet.
It was interrupted by a young man wearing a green suit.
"Who said we're cooperating with you?"
The young man's face was full of disdain.
He had seen the entire process of Denken and the others snatching other people's Stille.
He didn't trust such people as teammates.
"You guy..." Richter frowned, about to retort.
But immediately after, one team after another set off alone and entered the maze.
Full cooperation?
That was impossible.
The conflicts accumulated between the teams in the first round of the test had not been completely eliminated yet!
