The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

15 – Join (4)

“Ugh… ”

As soon as I opened my eyes and my vision returned, a headache came.

This was a phenomenon that occurred because the visual information and sense of space did not match as a result of spatial transfer.

“Whoa… after… This place… ”

I took a slow deep breath and looked around.

Inside the castle walls built on a wide open meadow.

The place I fell was a safe area.

It wasn’t a bad situation in that I could move quickly through the danger zone, but it wasn’t the best situation either.

The best case would be for Haas to fall into the safe zone, but I fell into the safe zone.

It was no longer possible to proceed with the test leisurely.

“The supplies… “This should be enough.”

The supplies you can take from the safe area are some food and water. And there were various remedies.

Although the field itself is not that wide, depending on the situation, it could take half a day to pass the test, so this was prepared.

These things didn’t seem particularly necessary as I was planning to finish the exam quickly, but I thought it would be a good idea to bring a few antidote pills.

They say there are poisonous monsters in the northern danger zone. It seemed like Haas would be annoyed if he was poisoned and couldn’t move.

I took some water and antidote and ran straight toward the southern forest.

It was faster than anyone stationed in the safe area. No one would follow me, who learned footwork from a dark elf in the first place.

“Keeek-!”

Sigh-

Shortly after entering the southern danger zone, wolf-type monsters attacked me.

Since it was in the south where relatively weak monsters were located, they were insignificant Doomwolves.

I easily cut down the Doomwolves and ran forward toward the gathering point.

There were attacks from monsters along the way, but they couldn’t stop me even for a moment.

Rather, I was worried that other group members would arrive later than me.

“Jo Won… “Is it still?”

And as expected, there was no one at the meeting point when we arrived.

Since it arrived so quickly, I decided to wait for about a minute.

A minute passed and no one showed up, and I was able to conclude that it was Haas who had fallen into the southern danger zone.

If it were Lia, she would have arrived long ago.

So I started worrying. Should I just wait here or go look for Haas?

I thought I could at least reach the gathering point, but Haas doesn’t seem to be able to even do that.

However, if you make a wrong move, you could end up crossing each other and wasting more time.

“… let’s go.”

After thinking for a while, the conclusion I came to was to move.

It was a result of trusting Lia. I don’t know about her, but I’m sure she has skills.

Even if I wasted a little time, I was confident that she would endure.

I started moving through the forest, drawing a diagonal line in the opposite direction to the direction I had been moving.

“… !”

While I was moving at high speed, a dagger was thrown at me, and I dodged it by a narrow margin.

A dagger that could not have been thrown by a monster. It was clearly the work of another applicant.

“Hey, you’re pretty good at it?”

“… “What are you doing?”

“What are you doing, like this?”

The identity of those who attacked me was four volunteers, and they attacked me again without any reason.

Since his attack was unbecoming of a knight and his personal weapon was not that of a knight, it seemed like he was a volunteer from some slum.

I heard that since commoners can also apply to become knights, there are many low-quality participants, and it seemed like there were a few of them.

No, now I see that they were all scolded by Lia before the first exam started.

It seems like it was a planned approach.

“on purpose… “This is it.”

“You’re quick-witted. George you like that girl. At that time, the noblemen who were in the same group seemed to have some business to do with that b*tch. Thanks to you, it worked out well. Luckily, the locations were well divided. Is she having some fun up north by now? Because the other one was there. “Kkkkkk.”

“… thank you for the information.”

“Where…” !”

You made your own!

“Uh… ?”

Since I knew Haas’ location, I walked forward without hesitation.

All the gangsters who blocked my path had their ankle tendons cut. It was a minimal effort to deal with the losers without being eliminated for cheating.

“f*ck you! “Why don’t you stand there!”

Lia in the north may be dangerous.

I wasn’t worried about her, but if there were variables other than monsters, I didn’t know what kind of situation she would be in.

In order to pass the test, I felt like I had to take Haas to the north as quickly as possible.

“Ha, haeueuuuxuuuiuuu) as)… !”

“… “What are you doing?”

In the direction the gangsters told us, Haas was tied up by an unknown plant and his whole body was being molested, just as they said.

It seems to be a plant-type monster…

“It’s not that, it’s just a vine.”

It wasn’t a monster, it was just a vine whose arms and legs were tied and couldn’t move.

How on earth can one become bound by a still plant?

I sighed and cut down the plant that was holding him down.

“Thank you, Sir Beryl! “You came to save me!”

“… It goes fast. “Lia is in danger.”

Perhaps this man would have been eliminated even if he had fallen into the safe zone.

I wanted to say something to Haas, but there was no time.

According to what the gangsters say, there is a nobleman targeting Lia.

Although their goal was to pass the test, there was a good possibility that they were planning to fail Lia.

If she is eliminated, I will automatically be eliminated as well.

Since it was an opportunity that only came once a year, it had to be prevented.

There were moments when I thought I was lucky to be in the same group as her, but not now.

‘… ‘I ended up being in the same group as that annoying woman.’

I can’t believe I have to take unnecessary risks by being in the same group as a girl who stands out.

To be honest, I felt nothing but annoyance right now.

“hehehe… . hehehe… Come on, let’s go together, Sir Beryl! “It’s too fast!”

And even that man.

Once again, misanthropy began to spread thickly.

But I have to pass the test anyway.

For now, I had to suppress my emotions and focus only on passing the exam.

I didn’t think of Leah and Haas as colleagues or even as humans, but just as baggage that I had to carry for a while.

***

“… “As expected, there isn’t one.”

“Whew~ Just like Sir Beryl said, it looks like he’s being held captive by some bad guys!”

“But the fact that we haven’t been eliminated yet… “It probably means that you are safe.”

Haas couldn’t follow me, so I picked him up and quickly ran to the gathering point in the north.

But as expected, she was not at the meeting point, and Haas escaped my grasp, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said something obvious.

“… Let’s get moving first. “Maybe she can’t come here now.”

If Lia becomes unable to fight or uses a scroll, we are automatically eliminated and removed from the field.

But that doesn’t mean that Lia is still holding out somewhere in the danger zone.

Maybe he was in battle with the enemies the gangsters had mentioned, or maybe he was captured by them.

Judging from what the gangsters say, the nobles’ goal is Lia’s body. Or Lia’s elimination.

The fact that they had not been eliminated yet meant that the nobles were targeting Lia’s body.

From what I heard before the exam started, it seems that Lia was a famous person among the nobles.

Although she has an appearance comparable to that of any other young lady, she has been training to become a knight since childhood.

It is said that she fought off all the men who approached her, and used force to break down the men who tried to break her with force.

Therefore, there were quite a few noble nobles who were ignored by her, and it seems that there were quite a few of them who were dissatisfied with her ignoring men, saying she wanted to become a knight even though she was a woman.

Perhaps it was some of those noble spirits who planned this incident.

Still, a group of idiots cannot defeat a truly powerful person.

Since she hadn’t been eliminated yet, she could be assumed to be safe.

Even she wouldn’t stop using the scroll even if she was at risk of being defeated or harassed by the nobles targeting her.

Thinking like that, I felt a little more relaxed.

“… Sir Beryl? “Where can’t I hear the sound?”

“… for a moment.”

As Haas stopped, I heard something that definitely sounded like a scream coming from afar.

I’m not sure, but it sounds like a woman’s scream. I immediately left Haas alone and ran towards the sound.

“flaw… hehehehe… !”

“hehehehe… “

There was Lia, unable to control herself with her tongue half sticking out, and four men surrounding her.

“This is crazy… !”

As soon as I saw that scene, I put my hand on the blade and cut them all down.

The sword was not pulled out of the scabbard. If I had cut them down like this, they would all have died and failed the exam.

It was a choice I made at the moment when I had a shred of reason left.

“Wow… Who are you… !”

“Nobility… The cubs… ”

The sword was put down for a moment. And he raised his fist towards them.

No matter how many loopholes there are in the rules, he would want to covet a woman in a test situation like this.

It was behavior that could not be considered noble. It was disgusting, and shameful that this was the same nobleman.

Maybe all the Kingdom of Helia are like this. Hatred against them also bloomed.

Wow! puck-

“Kuhuhuhhh-!”

Four people charged at me with swords at the same time, but their attacks did not produce even a single vital energy in me.

It was below standard. It was funny to even challenge myself to become a knight with this skill.

“This bastard… ! “You lowlife bastard!!”

Wow-

Nobles are those who rule and take care of those below them.

Simply because you are on top does not mean you can look down on your feet, nor can you wield that power as you wish.

These were people who had already lost their pride as nobles. There was no need to show mercy to such people.

“Whoa, whoa… omg… Hey, Sir Beryl! What is this… !”

After beating all four to the point where they couldn’t move, Haas soon followed.

I heard his voice, but I didn’t stop punching.

“S-Stop it! I’m going to die like this! “You’re eliminated!”

Stand tall-

And when Haas stopped by grabbing my arm, it was only then that I saw the guys with all their teeth falling out and their faces sunken.

I wanted to beat him up even more, but as Haas said, any further than this was dangerous.

If they make us truly incapable of action, we will be eliminated as well.

It’s unfortunate, but it had to end in a place where it was possible to move.

I stood up, shaking the blood off my hands.

It wasn’t easy to control my emotions, but I managed to control my anger briefly as I had learned from the dark elves.

If I couldn’t endure this much, I wouldn’t be able to achieve anything.

“under… ”

“Lee, starting with Sir Lia. Sir Lia’s condition is strange!”

“It’s poison. First, let’s give him an antidote.”

Fortunately, Lia’s armor was half removed, but it seemed like she had not suffered anything more serious than that.

Perhaps the poison wasn’t that severe, but he was still able to move his limbs.

Even at this point, she was desperately resisting.

I quickly took out the antidote and poured it into her mouth.

As time passed, her stiff facial muscles began to move smoothly, and her voice came out again.

“go… thanks… all… ”

“Are you okay, Sir Lia? What kind of heinous thing is this? “They must be punished!”

“… “Why didn’t you use a scroll?”

I asked as I poured water on Lia’s dry lips.

It was incomprehensible to me. It wasn’t extremely poisonous, but I was poisoned, and because of that, I almost got made fun of by those insignificant men.

With common sense, I could have moved my hands, but it was normal to use a scroll and give up on the test.

Because it was a scroll issued for that purpose in the first place.

But why on earth did Lia struggle and endure until it got to this point?

Obviously, if I had been just one minute late, her body would have become their plaything.

Luckily, I showed up right before that.

Even if a scroll was used, it was a situation in which no one could criticize it.

“how… why… “

“I… If you give up, everyone is eliminated… “

“It wasn’t a situation where I could be criticized for doing that. Worth giving up… “

“The knight… There is no way to betray… ”

“Lord Leah… !”

That was correct.

It was such a natural thing to say, but maybe it was because I had already experienced being betrayed by those who weren’t like me?

I couldn’t help but praise her foolishly honest words and actions.

“It’s just a test… ”

“… “For some, it may be nothing, but for others, it may be a desperate opportunity.”

Almost all of the poison had been detoxified, and her expression relaxed and she smiled as she lay on the floor.

It was truly a stupid laugh. It was so pathetic to see him smiling like an idiot even after going through such a situation.

“… “That’s stupid.”

Still, I couldn’t hate her for that strange smile.

No matter how stupid or pathetic it was, looking at that smile strangely made my heart flutter.

It was a group full of idiots.
