Chapter 317: Twenty-Six Left

And Aidka said, 'Let there be a chapter of Science/Magic today...'

...

Bloed narrowed his eyes. Using Oculus, he managed to spot a total of fifteen B-Ranks.

Moreover, there were many more D-Ranks and C-Ranks behind them.

They had been surrounded.

One of the B-Ranks stepped forward at that moment.

Bloed recognized him instantly. He was one of the young men that tried to invite them to a club a few days ago.

His name was Alex, a member of [Genius Society].

In fact, Bloed saw several of the students that tried to recruit them when they just entered Academy City, including an elf girl called Illia and a young woman called Diana.

The three of them were peak B-Rank practitioners, and judging by their auras, they were stronger than their rank.

As Bloed observed the enemies, the young man that stepped forward stared at Bloed, Liu Ying, and Aya with a smile.

"Mr. Bloed, Miss Liu Ying, we meet again. How have you been?"

Bloed shrugged indifferently. "As you can see, taking care of some troublesome matters."

"Is it so? Well, I will be straight with you. You should give up. That way, we can't put an end to this quickly."

Bloed raised an eyebrow and Liu Ying beside him snorted.

"Do you think you alone are able to make us give up?"

Alex narrowed his eyes. He stared at the group of three with an unreadable expression.

But at that moment, another of the B-Ranks spoke up.

"Stop wasting time. Let's just eliminate them quickly."

"I heard they three are super-geniuses. I wonder how beating a super genius feels."

"Hmph! Today, I want to see what they are made of!"

Bloed frowned. Fifteen B-Ranks were a bit too much.

Moreover, he realized that some of the B-Ranks were strangely hostile towards them. Mainly beastmen, but also some of the other races.

'Did anything happen?'

Although curious, Bloed did not pay it much attention. Instead, he used Oculus to observe the surroundings while paying attention to Sara and Gina's situation through the earpieces.

In truth, Liu Ying, Aya and he were already rather tired.

Even though they did not show it in their faces, defeating so many students was very hard. Bloed felt that his reserves of psychic power were almost depleted.

But despite that, Bloed was confident.

Not just him, the girls as well.

He still had several cards under his sleeve. If he wanted, he could escape this situation at any time.

For now, though, the best course of action was to earn time.

Alex frowned. For some reason, he felt that Bloed, Liu Ying, and Aya were a bit too calm, as though everything was under their control.

'We should take care quickly of them before something unexpected happens.'

But when he was about to make his move, Bloed spoke up.

"Actually, I have a proposal for all of you."

"Huh?" Alex and the other B-Ranks were surprised.

"You see, we don't want to lose this game. But we know that our chances right now are not very high. So, how about it? If any of your clubs manage to protect the three of us until the end of the game, we will not only give that club the rights to the headmistress's reward, but we will also join that clubs."

The B-Ranks surrounding the group were stunned.

One second later, the eyes of several of them lit up.

Then, they stared at each other with wary expressions. Some of them even started to show hostility.

In an instant, the atmosphere had turned tense.

Alex wrinkled his brows. "Guys, don't listen to him! It's obvious he just wants to divide us!"

The atmosphere calmed a little bit with these words, but the B-Ranks were still looking at each other warily.

Bloed's proposal was incredibly attractive. Mainly the fact about joining a club.

You must understand that with the talent Bloed and the two girls had shown, it was enough to become the cornerstone of any club after a few years. If a club had the three of them, there was a high chance of that club becoming the strongest club of Academy City!

In this place, where a stronger club meant enjoying more resources, such a proposal was something that every B-Rank here found tempting.

When Alex saw that, he clicked his tongue inwardly.

None of the B-Ranks here was an idiot. All of them could see through Bloed's goal easily.

But even so, they could not help but be tempted.

Of course, Bloed was not so naive as to think it was enough to turn the B-Ranks against each other. He just wanted to stall for more time.

Finally, a young lady belonging to an unknown club spoke up.

"… Guys, it is not the time to fight among us. I opine it's better to eliminate them first. Getting a reward from the headmistress is already more than enough."

"Yes, but, who will get the reward?"

"It's first come first served. We will fight them together and the golden invitations will go to the one that deals the last hit."

"… I agree."

"Good for me."

"Let's go with that."

Bloed sighed inwardly when he heard that.

'Well, it was worth a try.'

However, it was not completely useless.

Three minutes had already passed, and surprisingly Sara had eliminated five of the twelve students she promised to eliminate already.

As for Bloed, following Gina's instructions and Oculus's bird sight, he had managed to locate the remaining thirty-three students.

They just needed to eliminate them.

Curving his lips up, he opened his mouth.

"Now."

As soon as his words sounded, Aya and Liu Ying moved!

The B-Ranks reacted immediately. Seeing Liu Ying and Aya move, they got ready to face them.

But at that moment, one of the B-Ranks saw several metallic balls floating in the air.

They had been thrown by Bloed without them noticing!

That is–

"Careful! Close your eyes and cover your ears!"

But it was too late!

Although some of them managed to react, more than half of the B-Ranks were taken by surprise by the blinding light and deafening sound caused by the grenades!

As for the rest of them, they saw Bloed, Aya, and Liu Ying jump onto the metallic wolf as it prepared to take flight.

"They are trying to escape!" Alex bellowed, jumping towards the metallic wolf without hesitation.

The rest of B-Ranks did not hesitate either. It had cost so much to surround them. They could not let them escape at any cost.

But Bloed just smiled.

At that moment, Oculus lit up.

Then, a rain of energy bullets fell on the crowd of C-Rank and D-Rank students behind the B-Ranks!

In an instant, more than thirty of them were eliminated, including seven of the blue team!

'Twenty-six left!' Bloed narrowed his eyes. At the same time, he, Liu Ying, and Aya looked towards the remaining blue team members.

"Let's end this!"

"Yes~"

"Understood!"

With the resolute answers of his demon girlfriend and cat friend, Bloed started the last battle of the game.
