As the problem with Reigns people is gone, It's time to focus on the main problem at hand.
" What?! Are you crazy? "Yang who always wanted to help couldn't help but shout after my commands.
As I became the temporary head of the group through being the one who has a plan to escape all this mess, I wanted Yang who had the ability to mimic sounds to try and copy the voice of a monster as it was a part of my plan.
"You know how much a person tries to talk to an animal, they wouldn't be able to understand each other right? Then how am I supposed to copy something that doesn't even make sense on their own end? " Yang looks at me like he doesn't want to do any of this. He probably didn't want to do it as it could endanger everyone if he fails.
" Hah… Who the hell said they needed to understand you? "
" What? Then how the hell would we communi- "
Before Yang managed to finish his sentence. I grabbed a hollow horn, probably from some Inter the kobold used as food, underneath my feet and slapped Yang's arms with it.
" ARGH! "
" What the hell?! " Yang looks at me all confused, wondering why I just did that.
" Anyone knows what he said? " I ask the people with us.
" Uhmm… What the hell? " They answer with a confused expression.
" N..No… the one before that. "
" Argh? "
" So what does argh means? " I ask them again.
As I did so, they look at each other and discuss among themselves, without really releasing a proper explanation.
" Alright, seems like no one does. But we knew what he was expressing when he shouted right? "
" Well, yeah? He was in pain. " They answer.
" Oh… " As they do so, it seems like they've realized what I was trying to make Yang do as even he realized what his job is.
" Yeah… This plan consists of you shouting out loud, through the noises the kobolds make. Whatever the hell you say whether you scream hair, chair or something in their words, they'd think a chair somehow broke down, your hair suddenly fell off or whatever. If a sound of urgency exists, we're good. "
As I say so, it seems like their trust continues to grow.
" But are we really sure, the kobolds would stop guarding us if someone of their kin asks for help? Wouldn't someone else do it and the guards would just stay put? " Someone raised their hands trying to validate the reliability of this plan.
" As you all know already, kobolds are part dog and part weird humanoid. Thus, they have the characteristics of some dogs. They are social and loyal, and once they hear someone in need of help a lot of them mostly the whole pack would come attack. "
" Look here "
I pull up my right palm, showing the blood-covered furs of a kobold.
" Earlier, before I got caught by them. I decided to slam a single kobolds head on the concrete wall. I was ready to fight the small party that I was facing then until they suddenly ran away while screaming. I thought they were cowards and decided to let it go. That was when about a hundred other kobolds who managed to hear their screams suddenly grouped up and captured me. That's why I'm here in the first place. " I say with a straight face like I didn't spout some bullshit. Well, some of the events that transpired were true. It was also the reason why I realized how the kobolds act, as I managed to catch kobolds who were carrying food to their Lair and drop it on the ground just to go in the direction of the scream.
" I see… " They all look at my palm while trying to analyze my bullcrap story. Seems like it didn't take long for them to do so, as they all look at me with smiles and confidence. Like I'm some messiah.
It's quite refreshing, isn't it? To see a sudden change in their views toward me. It's like character development for me, but also for them who couldn't even speak to a commoner at all. Now they look at me with smiles as they hand their chance to take part in the class tournament to me.
Don't worry, I'll make sure you don't lose your chance here. Just know that there'll only be six slots after this escape, and it's up to each one of you to either join or not.
I couldn't help but smile at the thought of what I was about to do. I always wanted to do those exaggerated things I've only read in novels, and pretend like the test was too easy and act all confused.
What can I say a man can dream… I can only do that in this world, as I'll probably get called crazy if I just said that nonsense out loud back on Earth.
" Alright, I'm ready. I've managed to pick up what they commonly voice out. The only problem is how am I supposed to say it from a place far away from here?
" Here " I throw the longhorn I was holding towards his direction.
" Wha… " Yang looks at his hand trying to comprehend what I was trying to say.
" You… You want me to shove a dead Inters horn inside my mouth… " Yang who finally managed to pick up what I was trying to say, couldn't help but look at me helplessly.
" You'll be fine, you're a Guardian. Things like diseases wouldn't even hold a dime to your immune system. "
" That's the least of my concern about all this… I'm a young noble, who's going to play with the remains of a monster, eaten by kobolds. " He contemplates as he stares at the horn.
" Hey, if you have that attitude, you wouldn't even survive the horrors of the battlefield. "
…
" Once you're ready, just shove the horn in the small hole on the floor over there. Old buildings are great at having those. "
