TEASER CHAPTER 5 PART 13
"Hey,
Nozomu! Where on earth are we heading!?"
"For
the time being, we are going to the west side of the training area! It will be
easy to hide since the vegetation is dense and overgrown there!"
Under
Nozom's instructions, Mars and the others rushed out with all their might to
avoid engaging in battle with the other party as soon as the training started.
According to Nozomu, there were several small hills around the training area,
but most of them were surrounded by forest, therefore, monitoring a large area
from a high place seemed ineffective.
On
the east side of the training area, there is a highway connected to Arcazam,
but there is no other characteristic terrain worth mentioning.
At
first, they were planning to build a base on a small hill. Certainly, there
were no trees growing from the edge of the forest to the top of the hill, and
it was easy to observe the approaching enemies, but at the same time there were
no trees to hide them, so they would fight against the attacking opponents more
often.
Although
there is Mars who has the strength equivalent to the upper class, there is
Nozomu and the others who only have relatively low strength. So, they would
lose if they were attacked in quick succession.
Therefore,
Nozomu rejected the plan and chose to hide in the forest instead.
Currently,
they are running towards the west side which has a lot of trees...
"Haa,
haa... No, Nozomu-kun! Behind, behind!!"
"They're
after us!!"
Hamria
and Cami who were running behind raised their voices. When they took a closer
look, they could see the figure of the other party running from the other side
of the trees. The other party has found and chased the fleeing Nozomu's party.
"I
know! Just run for now!"
Nozomu
encouraged them to keep running no matter what. Hamria, who was next to Cami,
was probably the least physically fit, and her breathing shown that she was
already in pain.
"Hey,
Nozomu! Isn't it better to ambush them instead !?"
"Don't!
The other teams aren't scattered yet! If we fight here and meet with other
parties, we will be the first to be defeated !!"
Nozomu
is most afraid of being attacked by two or more parties at the same time. For
other parties, the low-strength Nozomu's party would look like an easy point to
earn. Nozomu's party with such low strength is a good way to surely earn points
in the early stage, and It's one of the parties that will definitely be
targeted.
It
is a foolish idea to stop in this state, which may be targeted by multiple
parties, which is why Nozomu's first objective is to gain distance and prepare
for interception.
"Uo!
They are attacking us!"
"It's
okay because there is still some distance! Instead, just focus on running for
now !!"
Various
types of magic bullets such as fire bullets, wind bullets, and pure magic
bullets were pouring down from behind. Tommy screamed because of the magic
bullets that passed beside him, but Nozomu calmly measured the opponent's
distance and continued to urge his party to run. Even though the magic cast
from behind was considered strong, it was still far away and was disturbed by
the overgrown trees, so it didn't hit Nozomu's party.
