The Villain is Too Good at Sniping - Chapter 125

Episode 125. Uninhabited Island (4)

A thunderous night.

From the afternoon, dark clouds and humid air continued, and then it finally started to rain.

Swaaaahhhh… … !

A thunderous beach. A large cave in a crevice in a sheer cliff. There, Serene Annette watched the waves crash against the cliff.

The crashing and crashing waves seem to hint that it was meant to be this way from the beginning.

When she saw Kyle on the same island, Serin Annette felt a strange sense of discomfort. She had originally wanted to face Kyle again in the interpersonal training and see the end of the fight she had not been able to finish properly during the entrance exam.

“Kyle Ivanstair… … .”

But, the plan went awry.

The Eastern Flower Garden approached her first, and Serin Annette made a deal with him. In return, she was unable to keep her promise to Kyle.

A debt of gratitude that has remained in my heart ever since I finished my training in interpersonal combat. That is exactly why I couldn’t attack Kyle as soon as I saw him.

“…But still, if it’s for the sake of grades.”

There’s nothing we can do now.

In Arsene, they said that the homework given to us was the moment we passed through the gate and returned to Arsene again.

Because no conditions or information about the island were given, each person had to find out everything on their own. I don’t know how things work, but one thing is certain.

The clue to getting off the island is hidden somewhere on the island, and the student who finds it first will get the highest score.

There was also talk of building a raft to escape the island, but if the purpose of this training was simply to escape the island, there would be no reason to hide information from Arsene. At least, if it was the Arsene that Serin Annette remembered, he would be hiding something more complicated.

“Miss Serin.”

At that moment, a voice was heard from behind. Chloe Garnet was standing there.

“I think I’m ready to go out now. What should I do?”

“It’s exactly what I told you during the day.”

Gurrrrung… …

Thunder rumbled behind Serine Annette. But Serine Annette declared calmly, without any fear or intimidation.

“From now on, I will subdue any other cadets I see. If they are warriors, I will tie their hands and feet, and if they are magicians, I will gag their mouths.”

“… Is there a reason to go that far?”

“If I had to give a reason, there are probably two.”

The crashing waves show no sign of slowing down. Neither does the pouring rain.

Chloe Garnet thought that if Cerine Annette hadn’t rescued and brought the other cadets back, she would still be wandering around the island somewhere.

At first, it was awkward to be rescued by Serin, but Chloe Garnet gritted her teeth and kept it a secret. It was all part of the bigger picture. Just for this moment.

“First, for the sake of our team’s performance, and second, to prevent any possible danger.”

“If there is any danger, then by all means.”

“Even if we don’t intend to do so, they might attack us first. By then, it will be too late.”

So, before Kyle and Esili could come forward, Serin Annette muttered softly, we should launch a preemptive strike.

“We’ve confirmed where Kyle Evanstairs is. He’s on the southern coast, which is the exact opposite of where we are.”

“Then there, probably… … .”

“Yes. Zion Illionheart will be there too.”

Unlike Zion, Serin Annette explained while painting on the cave walls.

“So we will capture and confine all the other cadets who could become a hindrance or an enemy in the future. We will not do anything more than that. We will not harass them, and we will not starve them.”

“It’s just for training, and so that we can conquer the island first. That’s all. It’s enough if we can keep it out of the way.”

“We wanted to get as many cadets to our side as possible by then, and Kyle and Sion Illionheart were no exception. If they were there, it would make things a lot easier.”

Serine Annette swallowed bitterly. It was unfortunate, but there was nothing she could do now that the two had joined forces and formed another camp.

“But Zion Illionheart will be different.”

Only one. Zion is a man who puts reason before emotion. At least that’s what Serin saw of Zion.

“Unlike Kyle Ivanstairs, Zion Illionhart is a man who can communicate. If you sincerely convince him that you need strength to get through this training quickly, he will definitely listen to your opinion.”

A situation where you don’t know if you’ll be summoned back or not, and you don’t know how long you’ll be on the island.

Serin Annette tries to subdue the other cadets in order to complete her training as quickly and reliably as possible.

It would be nice if it could be done through dialogue, but it is possible that it won’t. Eventually, as time goes by, the crowd will grow and the cadets will split and fight among themselves.

Serin Annette’s goal is simple: to subdue all the other cadets before things get that far. If necessary, she’ll even become the absolute ruler of the island and rule as a tyrant.

This is possible because Serin has proven her military prowess, and everything she does is to successfully complete this training.

Serene Annette accepted her role calmly. She thought it was fate.

Kyle Ivanstairs will be the biggest enemy, but Zion Illionheart will also be a threat.

‘If we even form an alliance.’

If those two were to combine their powers, they would become an enemy that even Serin Annette would not be able to easily deal with. Since we already saw their strength in the previous training for the great battle, we know how terrible that combination would be.

Kyle is a rock-solid figure who will get back up no matter how much he is beaten, and Zion will be using his strange skills to freely control bullets behind him. If those two are aiming their weapons at him, Serin will also have to give it her all.

“So I’m asking you, Chloe Garnet.”

“If necessary, I will gladly follow. Serin saved me. I have a duty to repay that favor.”

Everything is part of the big picture to join Zion. Just as you have used me for your needs, I am also using you.

Chloe Garnet smiled broadly, hiding her snake-like heart.

“Chloe Garnet. Go to Kyle’s camp and bring Zion Illionheart back. I don’t know what I’m talking about, but if you’re the one who has the slightest chance of Zion coming over.”

Serin Annette also hid her true feelings.

Arsene’s first semester is coming to an end. This is also his last chance to earn special service points.

‘Bring Zion here, then pretend you can’t win and do whatever it takes… ‘

Serin Annette coughed. First of all, we need to bring Zion to this camp.

Whether it’s getting points or doing something else, the story is only possible if you bring Zion. Chloe Garnet has always been close with Zion, so it’s not impossible. At least it’ll be more effective than going herself.

“Please, Chloe.”

“Yes. Gladly.”

The two, with different goals, exchanged glances briskly.

***

The rain, which threatened to sink the entire island, barely stopped at dawn.

I had put a lot of care into the construction, but eventually water leaked in. I got up in a hurry, wiped the water away, covered it with leaves, and after doing all the work of repairing it, the sleep I had been feeling disappeared.

It was a good thing. After all, the next night’s guard was Lara and me.

“Oh, what is it… … ?”

“It’s time to stand guard.”

I woke up Lara, who was sleeping soundly. I walked around the beach where the accommodation was built to check if anything was unusual.

Lara, still half-asleep, stumbled behind me, using her staff, which she used as an aid when casting magic, as a crutch.

“Fortunately, nothing collapsed or anything.”

“Did it rain that much?”

“You didn’t feel that when you were dealing with water properties?”

“Strictly speaking, rain is also a property of water… but academically, it is considered a different field. It’s a difficult topic.”

Manipulating falling rain or storms. If we only look at the attributes, it is a water attribute.

In the original game, there was a separate term called ‘weatherman’ or something to describe the person who deals with the weather, but now it’s just a good story. It’s important to keep talking because if you leave it alone, it seems like you’ll fall asleep standing up.

Before I knew it, I had made a round of the camp. Airi, who had been struggling the whole time she was awake, had fallen asleep curled up like a cat, and Kyle and Elin, who were in the other dorms, were also secretly cold and were clinging to each other.

I’ll probably wake up the next morning freaking out. It’s none of my business. But I asked just out of courtesy.

-Elin, what are you going to do?

-What?

-Where are you going to sleep? Before, there was only one, so I had no choice but to sleep in one, but now there are three. One of them is still unfinished, so it leaks a bit.

-I am…….

Elin eventually declared that she was a man and would share the same room with Kyle. I knew Elin’s true story, but I didn’t bother to bring it up.

Considering that Airi, Esili, and Lara were using the middle room, it seemed inevitable. More than four people could fit in there, but it was a planned procedure since they would have to squeeze their bodies in.

At the back of the camp where extra supplies had been gathered. Lara Stillheiden wiped the water off her sore legs and sat down on a well-covered tree.

“What happens from tomorrow?”

“Construction is almost finished, so I guess we’ll start training in earnest.”

“Do we really have to attack other cadets?”

“Even if we don’t intend to do so, the other person will think differently.”

Serin Annette and I made a place to stay in different places. Serin Annette probably made her own faction centered around guys like Kai Alma who are rivals to Kyle, just like in the original.

“This side already has its own power, and that side already has its own power… so there’s nothing we can do. We don’t know our goals, we don’t know what to do, and grades are important.”

This is especially true because this training replaces the final exams of the first semester.

Arsene considers written exams important, but he also considers practical exams important. Those who have entered Serine Annette’s power probably have the illusion that even if they have been doing poorly in their grades so far, they can turn things around in an instant if they just do well in the final exams.

This is the same for Lara Stillheiden. Lara will also try to make up for the points she has lacked so far.

Other cadets will also come charging forward, fighting for their lives or for their own grades.

“But wouldn’t it be dangerous for cadets to clash with each other since they won’t be able to be summoned back?”

“It would be nice if we could all work together to finish the training, but survival training is basically a competition. It was like that during the entrance exam, and it was like that on Mount Nirvana. In the end, it’s a fight to see who can last the longest.”

Once on the island, the faculty will be watching to see how long and well the cadets can hold out. However, survival is only one of the elements that must be achieved.

“Maybe in Arsene?”

“Over there.”

The moment I was about to continue speaking, Lara poked my shoulder.

A female cadet walking on the white sand beach. Lara Steelheiden raised her cane, watching me closely.

“How do I do it?”

“wait for a sec.”

But I stopped Lara for now. I stepped forward instead of Lara. Because the opponent was not a major character like Serin or Kai, but Chloe Garnet.

“I missed you, Zion.”

And that too, naked, without any weapons. I signaled Lara to wait and took a cautious step forward. I held a loaded Glock in my hand.

Chloe Garnet smiled at me.

“I’ll tell you first, but would you like to go with me?”
