‘He died?’

“IDK”

“Well our pork is saved.”

“How many days until the end?”

‘Around 30 days I think so.’

“I am going to do something for a week so I think you can go and kill someone in that time.”

We part ways and I go to an open space and train.

Why? You might ask me.

I noticed that people get stronger as they fight but in my case It still decreases so I need to be at least a bit prepared.

I follow my same training routine but decrease the time by 30 years since my hand was all messed up due to overtraining.

“Devil’s Domain”

2 days into 220 years

I came back after 2 days and the cube I was in was completely destroyed.

I get the pain after 2 seconds and get paralyzed for over 6 days.

“Shit It was more painful and longer than before.”

What rank are we in the leaderboard?

“3rd I see”

“Good job Zero”

“My hand is still not healed.”

“I need to find Zero.”

I go to find Zero and see him between 4 people.

Zero looked exhausted while the other four of them were fine.

I threw a rock at a tree and everyone looked in the direction.

I grab Zero and run away from there.

‘You finally came.’

“What happened? How are you in this state and they are untouched?”

‘I was fighting some other team and they all attacked me at once.’

“Ohh”

“Be careful next time.”

I use healing magic on him since one cannot use it on oneself unless they have inert ability as healing.

“I am bored.”

“Can’t we just sleep until 20 days are over and get enrolled into the school?”

‘We can but if you don’t come first then what about the bet that is placed on you?’

‘You need to be on the first to win the bet.’

“Has there been any bet placed on you?”

‘No’

“How do you know all this then?”

‘I read unlike others’

“GAH-”

[I was the top student of korea you idiot]

“So I need to kill these guys as soon as possible to win huh.”

Aiko and Aoi

-4740 Kills

Kaji and Katsu

-4699 kills

Akuma and Zero

-4650 kills

Sora and Saika

-4450 kills

Kei and Rin

-4400 kills

“Who were those guys earlier?”

‘The first and the fourth team.’

“They teamed up or something???”

‘From the looks of it, yes I think so.’

“Well we need to kill those teams and we will be alright?”

‘I think so.’

“Let's go after them tomorrow since you will be healed properly and my hand’s condition will also get better.”

We both sleep.

We wake up late as usual and go to find the top students after some time.

15 days have passed and we still can’t find them.

“How many days left?”

‘5’

“We need to find them soon.”

We keep on searching at full speed and go on killing anyone we see.

We climbed up to second place in the leaderboard but we still needed to find the first.

We searched almost all the places and 3 days passed by.

“Phew with this she is going to lose all the money I bet on.”

‘They show who bet on you?’

“No they don’t but I know who it is.”

‘Ah ok.’

We finally found them after searching for a few more miles.

‘Yo guy’s remembe-”

Sora quickly charges towards Zero but he holds her midair and throws her back.

“Listen guys.”

“We want the first place so I can get all that MONEY you see.”

“Can’t you guys compromise a little bit?”

{zero- he is seriously negotiating with an enemy without giving them any benefit. I knew he was an idiot but not to this extent.}

“”Haha””

“”Why would w-””

*slash*

His head splits into two

“Poor guy. You should’ve let him finish talking before killing him.”

All the other members start taking us seriously.

“So who is the stronger one here?”

Nobody answers.

Well let's change the question.

“Who is Aiko?”

Aiko smirks and comes in front of me.

Zero take of those two.

I will take care of her.

“”You think we are weak?””

Zero vs Saika and Aoi

And

Akuma vs Aika

“How about this, We watch what they fight first without interfering and then after they complete we will fight?”

“”Sure.””

“We both sit down on a rock far away from each other and observe them.”

Zero begins to fight saika and Aoi

Zero holds his sword in his left hand.

“”Is he left handed?””

Aiko asks me

“No”

Zero dashes and goes for Aoi but she turns out to be a ranged fighter with magic so she backs down and Saika hammers him to a tree.

Aoi uses an ice spear on him.

*smoke*

Zero burns the spear including the ground and the tree.

He dashes and tries to attack Saika but he dodges it with his hammer.

He backs down and uses ice magic on the ground but Saika hammers the ground and breaks it.

Meanwhile Aoi begins to take some time instead of attacking.

Saika tries to hold Zero back but he keeps on pushing while watching Aoi at the same time.

Aoi tries to hit him with a huge spear.

The size of the spear was bigger than the eiffel tower that was on the earth before maxim.

Zero switches the sword to his right hand and drags Saika right in front of him.

He raises his sword high up and pulls it down and turns 360 degrees and uses a high level fire magic.

He slashes Saika and the spear very sharply and it nearly reaches Aoi.

Aiko tries to move but I put my sword on her next.

“Don’t move.”

Zero slowly covers the distance and gains an advantage as she mostly uses ranged attacks.

Even with using ranged attacks mostly she was pretty good in close combat.

“If she is this good at close combat, why does she fight using ranged attacks?”

“””I can’t tell you about that.”””

“Oh ok.”

Zero tries to kill her but Aiko steps in.

“What did I tell you?”

“Don’t interfere.”

I exert my bloodlust.

I teleported right in front of Aoi and cut both of her hands.

Aiko grabs Aoi and moves behind.

As she moves behind Zero hits her leg and she falls down.

I appear right in front of her with my katana on her neck.

15 mins left.

We all get notification.

This is finally ending huh.

So goodbye.

As I proceed to kill her I hear someone.

“”Stop.””

“Who are you?”

“”Since it doesn't matter let’s get straight to the point.””

“”How much bet has been placed on you?””

“Who are you?”

“”If you don’t kill her I will give you 10 times the amount.””

“WHO ARE YOU?”

“”This kid. I am Komoe. I will give you 10 times the amount if you don’t kill that 1st team. How much has bet has been placed on you?””

“10 times I see. 10000000000 seol has been placed on me and Zero got over 600000000 seol.”

“”OK, I will pay both of you 10 times the amount you said but if you guys kill them then you need to quit the school.””

‘No don-’

I hear the voice of the receptionist in the background.

“What if I don’t kill them but you don’t pay me.”

‘Akum-’

Thud

I hear her throwing something at the receptionist.

“”Stop talking, It’s none of your business.””

{ I bet almost all of my savings in him but he also :(}

{ Same thing happened to me last year too but he turned out to be her underling and I lost but he still got into the school.}

“”There are every teacher present in here including the principal.””

“”If I don’t give you the money then I will buy you a house.””

“What does that benefit me?”

“I already have a house?”

[That proposal was so bad that my bribe to receptionist was better than this]

“”Well then If I don’t give you the money if you didn’t kill that team then I will quit my job and give you half of my property.””

“Ok I accept.”

10 seconds remaining

I look at zero and Zero breaks the camera.

[ Limiter off]

*SLASH*

*SLASH*

I killed two of them.

Exam finished

Winner : Akuma and Zero

Komoe celebrates and the receptionist loses trust in me.

*ping*

You won the bet.

Total amount: 37 trillion seol.

The receptionist gets a notification.

The receptionist gets confused.

HOW?

HOW DIDN’T I WON?

Komoe screams and looks at the screen.

Those two are alive but how?

We all get teleported outside of the map.

“Zero follow me.”

[ Limiter On]

I ran towards the room where all the teachers were located.

*Knock* *Knock*

I kick the door and blast it away.

“Who is Komoe here?”

One of the teachers throws a paper imbued with magic towards me but Zero deflects it and I don’t even flinch.

So how about you give both of us 10 times the money you talked about.

She didn’t know what to say so she gave us the money silently and I went towards the receptionist and asked for my share of the 500000000 that she betted on.

Everyone looks shocked but the receptionist looks very happy and gives me the money and just goes back jumping with joy.

“So our work here is done.”

“Let’s go Zero.”

“”Hey Zero, Why are you following this guy? His stats are not as high as yours yet you still follow him.””

‘He might not look like it but he is an interesting guy, I am sticking around so I won’t get bored.’

“What do you mean he might not look like it?”

While we were going outside the principal asked me.

“””How did you managed to get 1 st without killing that team?”””

“Oh, Nothing special. It's just that there were a few bugs hiding nearby.”

[Bugs you say]

“””Congratulations on joining the Divinity.”””

[ So he killed the team that was in the 3rd in an instant that was hiding nearby.]

I looked very happy carrying around all the money I had and depositing it to my account at the receptionist in the school.

[I could do that in the school apparently]

The receptionist said

Thanks. That money was more than I could afford by working for 10 years.

I smile and say to her,

“I told you that I would help you if you let me into the school early.”

So from tomorrow your school starts.Today’s the last day you can go explore the zone.

“Kay”

Me and Zero go around the zone.

“Where is your house zero?”

‘I don’t have one.’

“Oh ok. Where are you planning to spend the night today?”

‘Some random forest.’

“Oh, the floor is free to sleep in my room.”

‘Are you sure?’

“But you need to buy the blankets by yourself.”

‘Deal’

We spent the night and then went to school tomorrow.

”Morning receptionist.”

“”Morn- Wait.””

“”Where do you think you guys are going?””

“School”

‘School’

“”Who goes to school wearing a pitch black suit?””

“Well, now that you mention it.”

“Where can we buy the uniform then?”

“”Right here.””

“Tell us instead.”

“So what are the dresses?”

“”Here is the list.””

We go through the list and pick one out of 5 choices.

“”So what did you guy pick?””

“I choose this one.”

I point at no.5 as the dress was black and had a hoodie with a long cape with a white shirt and black jeans.

“”Do you like black color?””

“Ya I do.”

“”So what about you?””

She asks zero.

‘I will take the black shirt with black jeans.’

“”Ok now let's take the measurement.””

We take the measurement and she says that our dress will arrive after 2 days and we go into the school.
