章節 31: Red Brick
Then suddenly,
"Get out of there." In a voice from afar, the magic group shouts to us. Looking at them, I forgot about that. Without a minute, I can see diagonally falling down, like a perfect parabola arc. The big fireball was going to crush the Minotaur, among others. No! It's just me! all along.
"Damn it all!" I curse this misfortune.
All the swordsmen got their distance too fast and forgot about me.
I ran for my life from a massive fireball the size of a house, measuring about ten by ten meters.
The drones flying around are even just absorbed by it.
"How the hell can I dodge that?" I shouted from my lungs.
It was not only dangerous but also a calamity for humans like me.
I jump to the nearby little hole and close it with my personal weapon, changing it to a flat surface. like a trapdoor spider! closing the hole for my own safety!
I can hear someone shouting my name, but I can't. Look back now and see that the fireball is going to land near me, but exactly near the crawling minotaur.
After 2 minutes or 4 minutes, I got out of the hole.
Looking at the casualties, the Minotaur has charcoal flesh and black bone. I puke into the hole where I come out.
"That was disgusting as sheesh!" I said, and I couldn't look at it more than a second time. It was very, very disgusting.
Then I shift my gaze to everyone. Are all the students not happy about this outcome?
I don't know, but everyone was so sad.
Why is Drake lying there? With a swollen face and bruises.
Then Mel, Alisha, and others were crying.
Then Mel is looking around. I don't know how she can do it, but even at an almost 20-meter distance, she feels my presence. I was hiding behind the boulder.
"My husband! "Mel shouts, and everyone's looking at her like crazy.
Then she ran to the boulder.
I don't know how she does it, but it was funny to see her. Like a dog after its owner went to work.
I don't know why everyone is surrounding me. And some are crying.
But they are scary, muttering my name. Even Steve was in them crying. Are they possessed? which different to Sonia.
"Hmp! That's expected; you won't die from something like that!" Sonia said while crossing her arms.
After we rest for 15 minutes, approximately?
I learned that everyone thinks that I'm the only casualty, and it was a friendly fire, so that's why, one against all, Drake was really commendable to do that. to be beaten out by more than 200 people.
I'm looking at him right now. Drake, my character, is begging me to learn that this was all planned by me. He is not begging to save, but for his dignity after. Thinking all the swordsmen were the only ones near the Minotaur, he launched the big fireball.
"Okay, I forgive you; ok, let go of my combat pants. I forgive you; let it go!" I said to Drake, and he was really off to what I imagined. But looking at the girl, who is really out of my imagination,
"Mel, can you let me go? I want to go pee," I said to Mel. after the big fight. I was not able to pee without an adrenaline rush. I can't do it.
"Don't worry about seeing it now; it is not a problem in the future; I'm going to see it anyway," Mel said confidently.
I better pee later. We have almost consumed all our time resting. And there are 35 minutes left.
Eating a biscuit for temporary stomach filling. We start to continue our goal.
This is the moment of truth; this is the only guardian door.
Going back to the same turtle formation. I'm at the front.
I slapped myself, looking at everyone in the back. I was the one who would open the door. It's not like no one can do it. But the biggest risk, even though I know that,
If I remember the boss in this exam, a Goliath monkey, or, in other words, a giant monkey, is probably 6 meters in height.
there was a secret room here but i don't really much recall how did i create, this room. much not a thinking to this but i usually think for the action or the plot. i never much have detail for location and setting are my most weakest skill when creating a novel. that's why i die, filling out that weakness by true experience.
But even I know I can't tell everyone. The secret depends on what scale is equivalent to the risk.
But back to reality, This was the next challenge: opening the door.
Everyone is at my back, watching me.
Walking to the door, following my lead, they walk without breaking the formation for 10 meters, following at the back.
When we are all facing the door, we are all in good condition. But if we force ourselves to the door, it will spread some powder into the air, causing us to hallucinate, which is more like an illusion but just drugs.
And this was the moment of truth. It is better to treat it like a normal door; forcing it is dangerous.
Breathing slowly, inhale and inhale.
I was holding the doorknob. Gripping firmly. And I push the big door.
"Huh? "I push what?
"Ha! "I push with force; again, it does not even budge a little.
I can feel everyone whispering to themselves.
"This is so embarrassing! But probably I have no strength to push this door."
I can hear everyone talking.
There are so many risks. To think about, but keep moving forward.
It was such a shame to face them, and even so, for my last push.
"Opeeeeeeeeeeeeen! "I can feel my hand grip making my palm numb.
Crack* My wrist broke, I lost foot balance, and my head smashed to the bottom framing of the door.
I feel they are talking about something, so decide to go better to face them than stop here.
And so I turn around to everyone. They are all in a daze, like they are in hypnosis—even Steve and others.
Looking at the same thing, I found there was a futuristic hologram like a billboard. Showing something, but unlike the billboard, this hologram shows text.
"Huh? "I was so shocked. What is the meaning of the text?
--------["In the journey of achievement, sacrifice becomes the currency of progress. A person's worldly success is measured by the willingness to give up, for it is through sacrifice that we pave the path to accomplishment. Just as a sculptor chips away at excess to reveal the masterpiece within, so must individuals shed comforts, invest effort, and forgo instant gratification to carve out their success story."] -------
With my augment observation skill, I read but in another language it was a language from my past lift. [Gatinan yo ya ay so ambalangang laryo---- translate------Please step to the red brick] written in my past life language.
I fall into my own butt.
"This can't be." I can't accept this. This is the quote I created for another novel, but why the hell was this even in here?
This is the credit quote, with the hidden meaning "one sacrifice."
"Felix, are you alright? " Steve asks, reaching out his hand to me, and with it as support, I stand.
"Yes, do you understand what it means?" I ask Steve.
"A little that last part is weird language, in class they never teach this kind of knowledge; how can I understand this? This type of code usually takes a few more days, but the exam is only one day, and we have only 30 minutes," Steve said worriedly.
"I know how to solve it," I said confidently.I know how to answer it. how can i not, that's my mother tongue in my pastlife.
"What! "Steve was shocked. He just looks at me.
"So even if anything happens, you must finish this! Also, as long as you get inside and fight the boss within the time frame, it will not get boosted like a normal monster at night, probably. As long as we get good rest and fight within the time frame. Also, the guardian door is dead, so even though we got past the time frame, there's no change," I said to him.
"What are you talking about? "Steve was confused, questioning me.
i shift my gaze to Sonia, Mel, Ginger, and Alisha are waiting for me...
as part of Charlie 3. Observing them.
"Get into the formation; don't try to break it, or you may face great defeat. Go, go!" I said to Steve to run. tapping his shoulders as i go back to my group in this exam and fix the turtle formation.
I was also included in the formation like blood; not literally, probably I was able to change what area I wanted.
If Steve knows that the code needs a sacrifice, he will not let me do it.
Looking at the red brick, it was different from another brick.
[brick of sacrifice] There was no trap, probably.
And so I decided.
I step to the red brick, 1 meter to the left side of the door.
The bricks shrank to the ground without any resistance, but the most noticeable was the red brick. I decide to walk, as I'm going to step on it.
no, i was already stepping on it. but it was not budging.
"hah!" kicking in, and standing on brick, it never goes in.
it never move, as i look to everyone, they are all laughing at me.
" hahaha!" i gave a laugh too on them as my response.
Then suddenly all student are not moving. they are not also moving? I can see their expression stop very happy.
"...." I don't know what's happening, is this the effect of the red brick? But it was still not budging nor sink to the ground.
"Y-you, what are you doing?" The old man I know appears again. sidapa appear, heavily injured, bruises on his face and blood, all over his cloth.
"what happen?" i was shock to see a god to be in situation like this?
Holding his spear he never show a sign of getting weak, as i can see he lost to many blood.
"I'm not going to die, impossible unless..."
"unless...?" i ask sidapa explaining but like he doesn't want. Then don't better not pry to others.
"no, nothing" sidapa said and smile.
And so i move to the topic.
"i thought are you going to show up after the red wormhole event?" i said.
"how can i do that! the god of literature has been invaded this book of yours!" sidapa said solemnly.
"What are you talking about? god of literature?" i ask.
"Then i will tell, you everything! no, i need to tell you something! " sidapa said to me, looking at my eyes with sincere.
