"We need to work together," Dokgo Jun said. "None of us know what everyone else's secret missions are yet, but moving together is more efficient and safer than going solo."
Twelve pairs of eyes turned to Dokgo Jun at the sa ti, brimming with trust and reassurance. As expected of the Student Council President! He's the first to regain his composure!
Geo Sangwoong, the only fourth-year student in the class, chid in, "I agree. If we move separately, the chances of getting defeated one by one will only increase."
However, there were those who disagreed.
"There are more than ten of us. Wouldn't it be more conspicuous if we moved around in a large group? I think splitting into smaller teams would be better." Yeo Min argued. She had the best movent arts and stealth techniques of those present and was confident that she could escape on her own.
"Then how shall we divide ourselves?"
"What if we shared the contents of the secret orders? We can join forces to help each other complete the missions."
"I disagree. Mr. Baek said that these are secret missions. If we reveal them carelessly, we may run into conflicts of interest."
The students' initial panic quickly subsided and they began to assess the situation rationally. After attending Baek Suryong's class for a sester, it had beco second nature for them to exploit every advantage in an unexpected situation.
Each of them carefully weighed their options and thought about what would work best for them. Would teaming up be beneficial, or would going it alone be more efficient? Should information be shared or kept private?
Making sure to keep their poker faces on, they glanced inside their scent pouches to check the contents of their secret missions.
What do I need to do to accomplish my mission…?
Being in Baek Suryong's class had taught them to approach problems with a cool and calculating mindset. The real reason they participated in the discussion was also to secure the best hand for themselves.
Unfortunately, the wolves outside did not give them much ti to think.
If you′re seeing this, you are at the wrong place.
"…They're already here."
"So soon?"
Sensing dozens of presences gathering outside the classroom, the students stiffened.
"Look out the windows!"
A considerable number of students had surrounded the outside of the building, and their numbers were steadily increasing.
"Everyone!" Dokgo Jun stomped his foot, drawing everyone's attention. "We don't have much ti. First, can we all agree that our first objective is to escape from this classroom in one piece? I'm going to the Student Council building, because at least the students there won't attack . Anyone with ?"
"We'll go with you."
" too."
"Sounds good. We can take a breather there…"
Most of the students decided to follow Dokgo Jun. Even if they split up later, escaping the classroom together was their top priority.
"The Club Union is closer. How about we head to the Club Union building?" Hyonwon Kang suggested. He was the Club Union President, and the Club Union building was closer to the classroom.
Dokgo Jun nodded. "That's not a bad idea…"
"SRS (Swordsmanship Research Society), form a periter!"
This is a non-profit translation. Ads? What ads?
"HWC (Hidden Weapons Club), deploy the Skynet Formation!"
"Hyonwon Kang! Hand over your scent pouch!"
"Even if we beat you half to death, we can get away with it! Mr. Baek Suryong is on our side!"
…Except for the fact that many Club Union mbers had joined the encirclent outside.
Hyonwon Kang cleared his throat and glanced at Dokgo Jun. "Ahem! Let's go to the Student Council."
"…I'll lead the way."
"Wait." Geo Sangwoong grabbed Dokgo Jun's shoulder. Lowering his voice, he suggested, "There's an empty classroom below us. How about we break through the floor and go down? It's the shortest route to the Student Council building."
Maybe they thought the exam would only start after they left the classroom, or maybe they were being cautious, but no enemies had entered the classroom yet. Still, there was probably an ambush waiting for them right outside the door.
"Senior, we can't damage academy property…" Dokgo Jun protested. Although he had picked up so bad habits from Baek Suryong's class, he still retained his model student nature.
Geo Sangwoong clicked his tongue. "Didn't Mr. Baek say we could use any ans necessary? Don't worry, if sothing happens, I'll pay for the repairs."
This is a non-profit translation. You should not be seeing ads.
Spoken like a true scion of the Golden Dragon Trading Company… The students thought unanimously.
Dokgo Jun hesitated for a mont, then nodded. "Alright, let's do that."
"Leave the property damage to us." Grinning, Geo Sangwoong caught Ya Suhyeok's eye.
The two bears simultaneously raised their fists and pounded on the floor.
CRACK… BOOM!
Read this at northbladetldotcom, or else.
Cracks spread across the floor like a spider web, and eventually, the floor caved in, leaving a gaping hole.
"They'll be on us soon. Let's go!"
With Dokgo Jun in the lead, everyone jumped through the newly opened hole.
A few seconds later, the students outside realized sothing was wrong and stord into the classroom, only to find it empty with a massive hole in the floor.
"W-What happened?"
"Where did they go?"
"Where are those bastards… There they are! After them!"
And so, the Defense Against the Unorthodox Arts final exam officially began.
