Chapter 28: 3 Squadrons
[Leslie Violet Rose]
[Emotional State: Extremely Happy!]
[Congratulations! You have successfully survived an extremely dangerous situation!]
[New Skill Unlocked]
[Cold Mind]
[Description: The host is capable of shutting off emotions from their mind.]
"It's a miracle! The Demon Goddess hasn't abandoned me!" Almost teary-eyed, I looked at the system notifications. Finally, I'm starting to regain faith that I can make it out of this event alive...
It would have been even better if I were standing and not lying on my back...
Sniff... Sniff...
"..."
Ignoring Leslie, who kept sniffing me as if she wanted to engrain my scent deep into her brain, while her hands moved strangely... "Cold Mind, a completely new skill, never appeared in the original story. I'm quite excited about it; I already have three skills that suit my personality well." Nodding in satisfaction... I feel a gaze... Turning around, I see Evelyn's crimson eyes glaring at me with a frown... but still, she remained silent... Her hair was down, and she wore silver armor over her beautiful body...
The personality of the Third Seraph is quite simple; she likes to sleep, eat, and feel comfortable. She's not a weirdo or anything, she's quiet and speaks occasionally—that's her basic personality... And then there's her other side, which comes out when she's woken from her sleep, the most important thing to her. But these are the traits known in the story. In fact, only the minimum and most important things about the Seven Seraphs are known... Thinking about it...
I look around... It's a house in ruins, large pieces of stone scattered everywhere, walls destroyed, and the room in the same state—a mansion in ruins. This is the center of the 5-kilometer territory that Class One encompasses, and our base of operations. Looking around, I saw a white flag; the event had begun...
"We'll do what we discussed earlier." The saint began giving instructions. She was wearing a white robe with similarly silver armor: "We'll divide into three groups of five people each." The saint's golden eyes gleamed as she faced the entire class, who all had solemn expressions...
"Group One will be composed of Adrian as the captain."
A young man with blue hair and bluish armor stepped forward, adjusted his glasses, and nodded: "I'll take care of it."
The saint nodded: "I trust you. Adrian's squad will consist of Lina, Adam, Kara, and Cristian." After naming each member of the first squad... they formed behind Adrian's sword.
"Your job is to scout the commercial area, simply look around and find safer ways to secure supplies for the entire class. You will be the supply squad."
"Group Two will also consist of five people, with Elias as the squad leader." The saint cast a simple glance at Elias...
"Leave it to me!! I'll take care of whatever it is!" Elias shouted excitedly, his cheeks turning red from the excitement... "The members will be Olivia..."
Olivia Cranel is Elias's childhood friend. She is a girl with short black hair and green eyes, wearing a mage's robe with a wand in her hands. Unlike Elias, she is very calm: "Don't shout so much," she said, though she seems calm right now. On the battlefield, she's a maniac with her magic, loving to blow up her enemies... A sadist on the battlefield... and, as expected, she is in love with Elias, but the idiot doesn't realize it. He's the densest protagonist ever... She has tried to get closer to him, but he always pushes her away...
"Olivia, Aaron, Marcus, and Zion, along with Elias as the captain." The saint quickly looked at Olivia: "I'm counting on you..." she spoke with her eyes, knowing Olivia is the only one who can control Elias and make better decisions. However, Elias is still stronger than her. Although not entirely stupid, he is very impulsive... Due to this trait, he is always in danger... Olivia silently nodded.
"Group Two will be responsible for direct combat on the front lines. For now, your job is simple: explore the borders of our territory. Do not go beyond them. I don't think there will be any attacks on the first day, but for now, our top priority is food and water."
"And finally, the scout squad, led by Beatrice." The saint looked at another important character, a girl with twin ponytails. Her beautiful green hair shone in the sunlight, with a tight-fitting tunic and minimal armor over her body. She had two daggers at her hips... She is an assassin...
"John, Sophia, Lucian, and Sandra. The scout squad is the most dangerous but also the most important. Your job will be spying, and you will mostly be outside our territory. No matter how stupid something may seem outside, every bit of information is important. If you find yourself in danger, run without looking back. At the same time, report if you find any class trying to invade our territory." The saint's gaze was very serious...
While it's true that the scout squad is important, our top priority right now is food. All the classes will be in the same situation. The sun was at its peak... We have only hours of daylight left, and at the same time, little time to act... What we need to do now is...
"We need to find food. It's of vital importance, and at the same time, we need essential items to get through the night and basic necessities. We have to go to the shopping center... Surely, the other classes will be thinking the same..." The saint frowned...
She's absolutely right. In fact, in the main story, the first contact with another class was at the shopping center... Moreover, all the food and supplies run out in just one day... The organizers are very despicable and intelligent at the same time, putting a place where you can find guaranteed food, which will make the students feel the need to go there, but it's also the biggest trap of all...
