The Noble Lady of Lust

Chapter 120: I’m not stuck with you; you’re stuck with me

”Well, as we agreed, the secondary roles are: Alice as a scout, Eira as a trap detector, Elena disarms, Selene of the blacksmith’s and I’ll be in charge of alchemy. Okay, now then, let’s get into acction.”

It was the second day of the examination, and we were finally starting to get serious about earning points, clearly assigning secondary tasks.

We went into the forest and began, in an organized fashion, to hunt three- and four-star beasts, which were commonplace in this area. If we wanted to take on the stronger ones, we would have to go to the north of the forest, so we headed in that direction.

All of us present were strong thanks to the ’Dual Synchronization (A)’, and we had reached the fourth metamorphosis and they had stats almost identical to mine.

Even Eira, although she doesn’t share the synchronization, she reached the fourth metamorphosis, but she is only strong in mana stats, unlike us who have all but the defense in the fourth metamorphosis.

Leaving that aside, the objective of this examination was to collect points, which were found in various forms in this forest. They were obtained by defusing traps, collecting beneficial herbs and metals, and also by hunting beasts, which had points assigned to them.

The purpose was to collect as many points as possible. In the end, they could even be converted into academy points to be exchanged for real items.

The team with the most points won, simple. Also, whatever we collected, the academy would buy it or we could keep it for personal use.

It was not allowed to eliminate other teams, so we didn’t have to worry about back attacks. It would be foolish to attack a team because, unable to eliminate them, they might come back for revenge. If you attack several, they might all unite against you later.

Although it was allowed to steal points, it was not a profitable tactic. Besides, there were more rules, but I forgot them already. Luckily, Alice was here to remind me if I did something wrong.

Anyway, the five of us continued on our way through the forest, and finally started to reach the more dangerous areas. Nothing out of the ordinary so far. We were going at a good pace and kept it up for the rest of the day.

”Big sister, go ahead!”

”Right. Luminous Lances: Laminae Lucis.”

It was the fourth day of the examination, and we were reaching the most dangerous area we were allowed to enter. In front of us was a beast: a snake with fluorescent orange scales.

It was a powerful creature and would give us a lot of points. It didn’t stand a chance; with our team’s work, I finally finished it off with a light spell that summoned spears of light.

I was sure few teams could do something like that, and it was a boss placed by the academy for students who thought they were capable.

We were on a good pace, and if nothing happened, we’d easily take first place.... That is until the ground began to shake.

’I had definitely just invoked the final flag.’

And I say final because this had started a few days ago, and as I suspected, after the shaking our bracelets, which were safety devices, began to ring. Through them, the urgent voice of an instructor reached us.

”Attention! To all students, unusual activity has been detected in the forest. The examination will be temporarily cancelled. Stay in position; a flyship will be coming to reco...”

[”Attention! To all students, unusual activity has been detected in the forest. The test will be temporarily cancelled. Stay in position; a flyship will be arriving to pick y....”]

’Yeah..., what I just heard was a suspiciously abrupt cut of the message, wasn’t it, ’

’yes, I can’t believe it actually happened, something, but it means we’re not paranoid’

’luckily we’re ready, heh we can, use this, to ask for compensation, to the girls who didn’t believe in us’.

”Exactly, we’re finally going to get Elena to wear the maid’s Micro vikini, while serving us.’

’we’ll make the rest of them wear it too, huehuehueheu¿

’huehuehuehehuhue’

Talk to my real self, or rather to myself, to relieve the tension, I will ignore elena who looks at me penetratingly, as if she knew what I was discussing, with myself....., well, whatever is coming I am already prepared.

And as if to prove 100% that it was a situation, just like that, even evading my perception, a figure emerged from the bushes.
