章 113: Chapter 113: Magic squash (2)
Cordelia POV
I got 31 points yesterday, which is great since the lesser I have, the better it is, and if someone messes up when they get the double points role, well they will get a beating from the rest of the class.
Today, I got 2 events which is great since they're really easy.
Anyway, to start the day, we were brought to this portal where when we walked in, we are greeted with a super large 50 story building where we were made to wait at the outside as a teacher walk up on this stand and talk to a mic.
"We have hidden many rings across the building." A teacher announced "No magic, items and accessory included and second rule is you can do anything you want as long as you don't kill or severely injure your schoolmates, if you get 5 rings, please try to come back and submit it to the submission tent as extra points are not given, fastest time wins."
A game of brains.
Now I'm trying to rack up possibilities of the smart type characters in the novels Perseus recommended me to read, how do they hide things, how they solve puzzles.
"Ah, I almost forgot." the teacher then pointed to the main entrance which is about 4m tall and 10m in length with thick golden steel door "This is the only entrance and exit, jumping out of the window and submitting your rings is not allowed, you can only enter and exit through here. Try not to crush each other underneath your feet. Start!"
As the hundreds of people rush in, me and a dozen more people wait out last, after a while when everyone got in, we all rushed in too, but I stopped at the door. I remember this like tv series that Perseus got me to watch, the item they want us to find was in the entrance's door knob.
I inspected the pull handle and see that it has screws, I then ran to the tent for emergency supplies and found a toolbox and took it with me, there are no rules against me stealing that, so I got to the door and unscrewed it.
And sure enough...the door is thick enough to have a small compartment, I got 4 screws from the 2 door handles and head inside a bit to see if they have handles on the inside as well, it didn't, I can see people still searching at the entrance, I hid the rings and inspect the doors while holding the tool box which people gave a puzzling look.
I then start knocking the door to see or hear and hollow compartments and sure enough there is. I got out this mini sledgehammer and pounded the door, and it's weak enough to crumble, I hit it till there's a punctured hole and reached my hand into it and sure enough I grabbed a ring, as the others realized what's going on, I ran outside and bolted to the submission tent.
By pulling out my hands quick, I cut myself, but I didn't care as adrenaline took over, I then gave all the rings to the teacher in charge.
"No rules against submitting bloodied rings, right?"
"No." the teacher laughed "Good job, you got first place, thus one point."
I can see that students were groaning as they couldn't catch me in time and they can no longer steal my work.

Perseus POV
Acacia was put into this room with a dozen other people, and she got an armband on, the room has light that change colors according to the armband colors, when it's your armband color, it's your turn, last one proceed to the next round tournament style.
Acacia did very well, but one other person impressed me and got my attention, she was a regular human who was way better than Acacia.
And no, it's not because I'm attracted to them, I'm not down horrendous like you guys, you can now proceed to go to the site where there are magical 6 digit codes or many other sites where you fantasize about sex appeals of fictional characters.
Anyway, that human...she gives off a small sensation of divine energy similar to the true gods, the admins, and most similarly...me and my sister, she's a demigod...Or a god in disguise, but I have no way of knowing that, but there's a very low chance of that.
I'm surprised that person isn't in the A class, she and Acacia moved quickly to the next round as they dominated the competition while being mindful of their stamina and mana so they can qualify for the next rounds till they find themselves as the last 2.
I haven't heard her name but I did hear from whispers that the girl is from the B class, which is the very surprising.
But what's strange is that the human girl is only pretending to be fatigued...the chances of her being a goddess(or god) in disguise are increasing, but if that's the case, why pretend to be a student of a random B class, what is their purpose?
But if they're a demigod of that skill...why are they not in the A class?
Acacia then faced off against her, the ball is now at a speed where it's super hard to catch up if you're a regular student as everyone is cheering on for our opponent to beat the A class.
"Go Diana!" one shouted
Huh?
"Yeah, beat the A class! Show those geniuses we're strong too!" another added
"I never seen Diana this good before, maybe she hid her strength during class, she's a very meek person." a girl whispered with her friend group as I picked it up.
The bouncing ball exploded every impact and regularly blind the 2 finalists, but Acacia is losing ground as every time she hit the ball, she gets pushed further back each time as the time went on.
I think I know who this girl is...Diana...that's the roman name of a certain goddess, why the hell is she here playing magic squash? I seriously don't understand those guys and what did she do with the actual person.
