The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

“The second test task is survival! From the second test onwards, the test will be conducted in groups, and if a group is eliminated, all group members will be eliminated. As a knight, loyalty to the lord and cooperation with colleagues are also virtues that must be possessed.”

From the second test, it was a group test as expected.

It seemed like each group consisted of a total of three people.

The task for this exam is survival. It was literally a test where the goal was to survive in a given field.

“The field is divided into three areas! One is a safe area. And the other two are danger zones. Also, in one of the two danger zones, there are restrictions preventing movement to the safe zone, and the test can only be passed if all team members arrive at the altar located there. “The three group members will be randomly transferred, one to each of the three zones.”

To explain the test in one word, group members in different areas meet each other and escape the field.

Team members will be assigned one person to each of three zones.

The structure of the field is centered around a central safety zone with danger zones above and below.

Since it is impossible to move to the safe zone from the danger zone north of the safe zone, you must endure alone in the danger zone until the remaining two party members come to meet you.

“There are monsters living in the danger zone. “All group members are given a scroll that allows them to give up the test and return, but keep in mind that if even one member of the group uses the scroll, the entire group is eliminated.”

In short, the key was how well the crew in the northern danger zone could hold out.

In the safe area, supplies can be supplied. The role of going to rescue help with supplies from the safe area will also play an important role.

“Competition among applicants is allowed, but intentionally using scrolls from other group members or forcibly eliminating them is restricted. “Please be aware that if you are caught, you may be disqualified.”

Competition is inevitable as all applicants enter the field at once.

However, with this vague explanation, it seemed that the knights would not intervene unless they killed or intentionally rendered the opponent incapable of combat.

This meant that if you meet a poor quality applicant, it can become a hassle.

In the first place, meeting the enemy in a survival situation during war would be a common occurrence, so it could have been said to be an appropriate rule.

“Then I will announce the group.”

As this was a test that had to be passed only if all three team members arrived safely at the altar, individual capabilities were important.

Since it is a situation where each person falls in a different location and has to meet again, it is also important to communicate with each other and plan a strategy in advance.

It meant that it was a test that only smart and strong applicants could survive.

“The next group… Number 341! Number 342! And it’s number 451!”

‘Wait a minute, if it’s number 342… ‘

And my team members announced.

One of the participation numbers of the applicants called to my group was strangely familiar.

“… !”

Lia was my first test partner.

Somehow, she and I ended up in the same group again.

When she made eye contact with me, she clenched her hands and shook them as if to say goodbye.

It wasn’t a bad member of the team, but for some reason I wasn’t very happy with it.

Still, I was glad that I didn’t have to worry about being eliminated because of her, as my skills were clear.

“Then the other one… “

“ah! That’s it! Number 341! i look forward to!”

Just then, one of the others spotted me and approached me.

He was an ordinary-looking nobleman, but as soon as I saw him, my head started pounding again.

‘No, this passed the first test?’

Because I watched his test.

His skills, which were the last in line, were truly disastrous.

As he was a nobleman, he seemed to have received basic knightly training, but his talent itself was very poor.

In terms of dancing, I would say that I have a terrible body.

Perhaps because of his poor sense of space and motor skills, the sight of him swinging his sword in a flowing manner was still vivid.

The only good thing was that even after being beaten like that, he kept a good smile until the end.

Maybe it means that you have good tenacity. I think it would be good to use as a punching bag.

“Oh?! Plus Lady Mernis. It will be more difficult for our group to be eliminated. Ha ha ha ha ha!”

And when she came up after him, her expression hardened in an instant when she saw him.

That’s probably how anyone here would have reacted if they were in the same group as this man.

Because his sword was so embarrassing.

“My name is Hasnon Toner! Let’s do our best together! Come on, let’s put our hands together and go.”

“Ahh. “Shall we do that?”

“… ”

He forced Lia’s and mine’s hands together in the middle and placed his own hand on top of them.

“When you say one, two, three, you put your hands up and fight. Now, one, two, three! go for it!”

“Woe, fighting.”

“… … “

“hahahahaha!”

At his actions, Lia smiled strangely and I sighed.

But even so, Haas laughs so hard that the entire exam room trembles.

I felt like crying.

*

“… “Then let’s do the operation like this.”

“great! “I feel reassured!”

“… “Again, if you fall into a dangerous area, shut your mouth.”

“hahahahaha! All right!”

“… “Don’t laugh so loudly.”

Operation time before the second test begins in earnest.

We decided on a place to gather by looking at the map and operations based on Haas’ location.

Since there was no way to know Jo Won’s location during the test, there was no other way than to set up a meeting place in advance and trust each other.

“under… Finally, I will summarize. People who fall into the northern danger zone should move to the gathering area and hold out as long as they can. This is something that can’t be helped no matter who it is, so it’s fixed. Then, the person who fell into the safe area takes supplies and moves to the assembly point in the southern danger area to rescue the crew. However, if Haas falls into a safe area, wait at the gathering point in the safe area. After that, the two people we met will move to the gathering point in the northern danger zone.”

“I don’t think there is any other way than this. “It’s not like there’s another device in the first place.”

“great!”

The operation was simple. Hold out in the northern danger zone, and the other two will head north.

This was the best since we didn’t know who was assigned where.

If I at least knew Haas’ location, I would have planned a plan to rescue him as quickly as possible.

If Haas falls into the northern danger zone… At that time, I don’t think there would be any other way than to just be eliminated. I just hope not.

For your information, Haas was in the same group, but he made a fuss that it was disappointing to call him stiffly, so we decided to call each other by our first names.

If I made it this far and got eliminated because of Haas, I would want to kill him.

-The test starts in 5 minutes! Applicants, go to the designated location!

When time was up, all applicants moved to the designated area.

It seemed like they had gathered all the applicants in one place and moved them to the field using large-scale space movement magic.

For the test, I created a field where monsters live, and I also used magic on such a large scale.

It was a passage that showed how much the Kingdom of Helia had grown so far.

When I thought that this growth was achieved by eating Regius, hatred welled up again.

The enemy I had to defeat became bigger, but my desire for revenge against him never wavered.

“now. So shall we fight again? Let’s meet safely! One two, fighting~”

“… ”

“… ”

Perhaps because she was tired of Haas, this time Lia only raised her hands and did not fight.

“Then, the second test begins now!”

And the space transfer started right away.

I slowly closed my eyes, imagining that if I fail this test, I will annihilate the Haas family.

***

“Ugh… “

As soon as the space transfer was completed, Lia opened her eyes, enduring a headache.

As the first space battle I experienced was magic, the aftereffects were not small.

“North… “This is it.”

The place where Lia opened her eyes was the northern danger zone.

As instructed in advance, it was easy to infer that it was a barren wasteland terrain.

The southern danger zone in the opposite direction is entirely forested.

The strength of the monsters that appeared was also much higher in the north.

First of all, one hurdle had been overcome in that Haas did not fall into the northern danger zone.

Lia judged that Beryl’s skills were certain, so she would probably quickly bring him over to her.

All he had to worry about now was himself. In many ways, you were the one who faced the most dangerous situation.

But at the same time, I was confident. Lia was also confident that she had the skills to rank among the top applicants.

If it was a monster that appeared at the level of the entrance exam, I was confident that it would be easy to overcome.

“… !”

And immediately, scorpion-type monsters attacked Lia.

Lia easily cut down the monsters one after another and cleared them all without getting a single drop of blood.

It was a poisonous scorpion-type monster with low combat power, but it was dealt with before it could even approach, so it was not a threat.

“good. “All you have to do is do this.”

Leah, who gained more confidence, began moving towards the pre-arranged meeting point.

At this level, it would be enough to pass the test.

“… Oh my. “Aren’t you Lady Mernis?”

As she was heading to the gathering place while dealing with the monsters, she heard an unfamiliar voice looking for her.

The identity of the voice was that of several nobles who had been whispering to him even before the first exam began.

It seemed like an alliance had been formed between acquaintances in the danger zone.

“It is a beauty that would be a waste to be in a place like this. How do you feel? Why not take action with us? “There was no mention of any restrictions on forming an alliance.”

“… Alone is enough. “Okay then.”

Forming alliances in dangerous areas.

It wasn’t a bad idea as long as we had trust in each other. If I did that, I could pass the test even if my skills were lacking.

But for Lia, there was no reason to act together with such unpleasant men.

Because she was strong enough and confident that she could hold out on her own until the team arrived.

“this… You’d better accept it. “Don’t you know that it would be crazy to make enemies in a danger zone?”

“… “Are you saying you’re going to oppose me now?”

“Depending on the answer. That could happen. hehehehe.”

As Leah, she knew those people well.

Men who target their beauty and body. And they always tried to break themselves.

Perhaps there is some type of disgusting person who finds pleasure in defeating a self-respecting woman, but the men who approached her were all similar.

This time too, it was definitely of that type.

Since they had a numerical advantage in the danger zone, they were probably thinking of using this opportunity to do something about themselves.

There was no reason for them to be hostile towards each other, but seeing them do this made me certain that they were such insidious and disgusting men.

“I think you will look better in a dress.”

“… under.”

Lia ignored them and turned around and walked away again.

If it weren’t for the exam, I would have fixed it, but now, if I relaxed too much, it could be dangerous.

The priority was to remember their faces and pass the test.

But they didn’t let Lia go that easily.

“… “I would have said I didn’t think about it.”

“Young lady. “This is not a proposal.”

“Why don’t you call me young lady? “Before I turn her into a lady.”

“… Gee, I told you it would be crazy to make enemies in a dangerous area.”

Sereung-

The men who saw Lia sharpening the blade laughed in disgust and pulled out their swords.

As expected, it was just as Lia expected. Their purpose was not an alliance.

“hehehehe… I will make sure you never think of setting foot in such a dangerous place again, my lady. It doesn’t suit you. This is a place where you could possibly lose your life. ah! If that happens, it would be nice to know the joy of being a woman before I die. hehehehe… Then you might want to live. Young lady… No, as a female.”

“… This is beyond disgusting. “You guys don’t deserve to be knights.”

Lia also drew her sword.

I couldn’t kill him, but I could scold him while he still had his sanity.

Maybe the monster could deal with them while they were down.

Of course, if they give up the test and use the scroll, they will survive.

“Haaab!”

Because the time given was short, Lia rushed at the enemy she saw in front of her first.

There are a total of 4 opponents. Although it was difficult, I felt like I could win if I took a little damage.

Sigh-

“Ugh… !”

As expected, Lia lightly slashed a man’s stomach.

Because he was lucky enough to avoid it, he wasn’t able to get a deep cut, but it would certainly cause significant damage.

Starting with that attack, the remaining three all rushed at Lia, and Lia avoided the attack with fluid movements and received the sword.

P-it-

“hehehehe… “Wow, you have a scar on your pretty face.”

“You can’t stop me like this!”

“hehehe… .”

As the fight continued, the tip of one man’s sword luckily touched Lia’s cheek, but it was only a slight cut.

The wound was so shallow that only a single drop of blood flowed out, so there was no problem in the fight.

“Haaah… ! Uh, uh… ?”

“hahahaha!”

However, Lia’s thoughts and her body played separately.

This is because not long after the small wound occurred, I began to feel dizzy and lose my balance.

“It’s poison. “I already know the young lady’s skills, but there’s no way she attacked me without any preparation, right? There are a lot of scorpion-type monsters with good poison.”

“dastardly… ! “Can you still say that you want to become a knight?”

“It is also important to suppress the enemy at all costs. Youngjae. hehehe… “

My hands gradually became weaker, and it was difficult to even get up.

Since it was a poison that made it difficult for her to control her body, it was virtually impossible for her to continue fighting.

“So, how good would it be if you were obedient from the beginning… With such a great body… “

“Ugh… ! this person… “

My tongue started to become numb and I started not being able to speak properly.

Because it was a very small amount of poison, it didn’t mean I couldn’t move my body completely, but it wasn’t enough to run away or fight.

You can use the scroll to give up the test and go back. But if he did that, all the other group members would have to be eliminated because of him.

“There are no monsters at the moment.”

“More, dirtier… Even in this situation… ”

“Any man would be the same when faced with a beautiful woman like Youngae. And, if it’s not now, there will never be a chance.”

“Even so… Stay safe… ”

“It is said that every year, there are applicants who lose their courage and die during the exam. However, although the poison of the monsters in the danger zone hinders movement, it is not so strong that the scroll cannot be used. In other words, if you don’t give up and act brave like the young lady right now, you are likely to die. On the other hand, we can abandon our daughter and run away at any time.”

I will leave you to die here. That’s what I meant.

It was clear that she was saying this because she knew that her personality would not allow her to easily use the scroll, even if it was just for Jo Won’s sake.

‘Just a little bit… Let’s hold on for a little while. Beryl and Haas may come. It’s been quite a while since the exam started… ‘

Of course, Lia had no intention of dying here. If you lose your life, everything is over.

But I had no intention of giving up that easily. Since I could still move my arms and legs, I planned to resist somehow and wait for my group members.

puck-

“Wow… Oh, oh hoho! It’s amazing that you still have that strength. hehehehe.”

“Doc… Tsu… “

Lia used all her strength and kicked the man who was approaching her in the stomach.

Of course, she wasn’t sure how long holding on like that would be effective.
