How to Get on the Main Character’s Flower Path

 

Every time I rested alone in my dorm room, I had carefully calculated how many points I would need to twist the story to some extent.

 

I held on tightly to the white gun I had become accustomed to. The smooth feel of the gun gave me a strange sense of stability.

 

<Next, Group F. Please come in!>

 

It was our team’s turn.

 

I took a deep breath and shouted loudly.

 

“Let’s go!”

 

We entered the gym with brisk steps.

 

As soon as I entered the gym, a huge slime pressured my vision. The inside of its body was filled with small clusters of light, that is, a nucleus that looked like a cluster of stars.

 

The giant starlight slime slowly turned its gaze as if it had discovered us and then howled.

 

The battle has begun.

 

As decided a few days ago, we changed to a monster raid formation.

 

“Nyahaha! Let us go!”

 

A strong wind blew from Choi Soojung’s hand, and soon the wind barrier trapping the slime was completed.

 

The wind stems, which resembled thorn vines rather than barriers, were wrapping slime all around.

 

“—?”

 

The bewildered slime struggled, yet the wall of wind didn’t even flinch.

 

“Movement blockade complete! Attack team!”

 

“Got it!”

 

Lee Hana launched ice spears at the slime and ran towards it without saying a word. She did so with Park Siwoo following behind her.

 

Starlight Slime is a monster with numerous small cores that shine like stars inside its huge body.

 

Therefore, the general strategy is to block its movement and chip away at its body little by little.

 

Of course, if you have the firepower, it would be better to attack the entire mass at once.

 

Just like us now.

 

The ice spears sent by Lee Hana were evenly scattered throughout the slime’s body.

 

“—!”

 

“Kang Nahyun!”

 

Scammer calls my name. I aimed the spear accurately while keeping an eye on the slime writhing in pain. Then, Lee Hana’s cold air that had been condensed inside the window burst into the slime’s body.

 

“——!”

 

The slime started to freeze in an instant.

 

The slime may have guessed its end, but it struggled even more violently, yet in the end it turned into an ice statue.

 

“Finally, Park Siwoo!”

 

And Calmy’s slash split the slime that had become an ice statue.

 

The slime split into numerous pieces.

 

The small cores of Starlight Slime interact with each other to aid recovery. However, if it’s broken into pieces like this, it’s no problem to say that recovery is impossible.

 

As the hunt ended quickly, the teachers looked very surprised. It’s a record breaking or something.

 

Having high grades is a good thing. I shook my head. And I fixed the gun.

 

The important thing isn’t the exam. It was a ‘raid event’ that would take place from now on.

 

An incident where a gate is created at the training center by ‘them’, the villains of the game described in the novel.

 

This is the first incident where an extrude gate occurs in the Academy, which was a safe zone.

 

“Don’t disarm.”

 

Scammer also gave everyone a warning order with a stern expression, as if preparing for an impending disaster.

 

“Why are you doing this? The exam is already over.”

 

“Right, you can relax!”

 

The moment the teachers stood up and said that, the training center suddenly started shaking.

 

“What is this?”

 

Teachers are bewildered. So this means that this vibration isn’t a hardship included in the test.

 

“Uuuuuu——!”

 

The sound of something crying. The sound was coming from the floor of the gym. The entire floor of the gym was shaking.

 

I adjusted the gun again.

 

Finally, the raid event began.

 

Blue light gradually began to mix in, as if paint was spreading across the floor, which was shimmering like a haze.

 

The swirling blue light soon grew larger and illuminated not the gymnasium floor, but a field under a full moon.

 

And the edge of the circle illuminating the space grew bigger and bigger.

 

I instinctively knew I had to use the Story Twist now.

 

There are many reasons why the tragedy occurred in this event.

 

This gate was so large that it surrounded not only the underground gymnasium but also the entire training center building on the ground. However, the students who remained at the training center were still inexperienced and couldn’t fight properly.

 

There is only one answer. Reducing the scope of the gate.

 

Let all monsters turn towards us.

 

I clicked on the story twist and stated,

‘The gate didn’t go beyond the confines of the gym.’

 

[The attackers decided to focus their attack on the gym. The gate didn’t extend beyond the gym.]

 

[1000 points]

 

[Would you like to purchase?]

 

Of course!

 

[1000 points have been deducted]

 

[Current meta points: 800]

 

As soon as <Story Twist> was activated, the growth of the gate, which had been growing in size to take over the entire gym, began to slow down.

 

The boundary of the space, which had been noticeably slowing down as if it were being held back by something and struggling to reach out, soon stopped growing at the boundary of the gym.

 

…It really works.

 

Fortunately, this prevented major damage.

 

However, since the way out is blocked, all the monsters will pour in here, but the party members on this side are Lee Hana, Choi Soojung, and Calmy.

 

Although I hate to admit it, even Scammer is trustworthy at times like this, so there is no problem.

 

“What on earth is this…!”

 

“Think about it later! Focus!”

 

“I know!”

 

Choi Soojung opened her mouth as if she was embarrassed, but at Scammer’s urging, she readjusted her posture and didn’t let down her guard.

 

Soon after, a sound that sounded like wolves howling was heard across the field.

 

Uuuuuuuuuㅡ!

 

Monsters resembling wolves break out of the field and rush towards us.

 

The wolves approaching the blue gate began howling more fiercely.

 

Eventually, their bodies crossed the gate and extended into reality.

 

Thudㅡ!

 

The sound of a heavy body landing here was heard.

 

I looked at the gym door.

 

The gym door is opaque so they can’t see through it from the outside. Students may not yet understand this situation.

 

“No way, an extrude gate…!”

 

I could hear the teachers screaming in shock.

 

“Hurry and contact other hunters, no, contact Miss Yggdrasil!”

 

“Wait a minute, the curse isㅡ”

 

Although they seemed to react quickly like experienced hunters, it wasn’t the time to worry about them.

 

Because there were several monsters that landed around us right away.

 

The wolf-like monsters growled and were wary of us.

 

“Teacher!”

 

I immediately looked for the teachers, but as expected, they all collapsed.

 

All other party members looked surprised when they saw that. However, Scammer calmly shouted.

 

“Choi Soojung, protect the teachers with a curtain of wind!”

 

“Okay!”

 

A monster rushed in, taking advantage of that gap.

 

However, the surprise attack was blocked by Choi Soojung’s wind blade. The corpse of the monster cut into pieces by Choi Soojung’s wind blade was lying on the floor.

 

Scammer shouted as he saw the monsters flinching at that sight.

 

“Lee Hana! The monsters that are out now are weak! Freeze them all!”

 

“Mmhm.”

 

In an instant, the cold spread around us.

 

Is it true that the monsters are weak? The monsters were instantly frozen by Lee Hana’s weak attack.

 

“First of all… Let’s check the teachers’ condition first.”

 

At Scammer’s words, we ran towards the fallen teachers.

 

“…It’s a curse.”

 

Lee Hana said, looking at the teachers while freezing the mobs that were approaching them.

 

“As expected, were they thoroughly prepared…?”

 

Scammer clicked his tongue lightly and spoke. And he began a brief briefing.

 

“This is the curse of the raider who created the gate. The opponent has prepared thoroughly. That’s why now the gym door is blocked and devices can’t be used.”

 

Everyone’s mood stiffened at those words.

 

“We can’t expect support from outside until people notice something strange. But this gate is of a level we can clear.”

 

“Junior, how do you know that?”

 

“I can’t tell you now. Besides, it’s not time to worry about that, is it?”

 

“…This junior is truly a mystery~”

 

Choi Soojung relaxedly spoke and looked at him with meaningful eyes.

 

“We don’t have time to chat. There will be another monster wave soon. Let’s move.”

 

After realizing the situation, the club members immediately lined up in the monster wave formation as they had practiced before.

 

What is different from practice is that teachers who have fainted are protected in the center of the camp.

 

Not long after we settled down, we saw wolf monsters running beyond the gate whose size and number were incomparable to the monsters from before.

 

“Uuuuuuu—!”

 

They howled and rushed at us. It was a damned large number.

 

“Wall of Protection!”

 

Scammer quickly waved the flag and activated his defense skill. The skill was activated and the center of the formation was surrounded by sphere-shaped magic. With this, the center is safe.

 

I glared at the charging monsters and pointed my gun at them.

 

Monsters rising from the center of the gym were attacking us endlessly as we lined up with our backs to the gym wall.

 

Calmy in the first row stepped forward and cut down the monsters first.

 

I assisted Calmy and looked at the situation.

 

“Keeeeeeee—!”

 

The monsters rushed at Calmy like crazy, yet Calmy cut down the monsters like he was dancing, switching between various swords, spears, and knives.

 

Every time he moved, one life inevitably ended.

 

Due to his inaction, many monsters were cut into pieces, but there were so many monsters that Calmy couldn’t handle them alone.

 

“Lee Hana, Choi Soojung! Prepare for the wide area!”

 

Scammer cried.
