Flashback

Narae's drooling face didn't stop until some time. She intensely looked at Manbarondenna. Can't control her feelings, she faced us. " I think we should participate in the next round."

I glanced Cheonhwa Hong. He had a rather troubled face. But Narae never knew the word 'give up'.

" Mr. Knight, I know we can do this. Our team isn't so lacking. You are a formidable swordman and (y/n) also must have some trump cards. We all chosen by the guardian after all." said Narae with sparkling eyes . " Mr. Knight, even when the sky fall down, I know you can protect me. Please. "

" O-of course, miss Narae. From now on, I'm your sword and shield. " Blushes could be seen appeared on his face. Such a soft big boy.

Narae faced me. I let out some fake cough. If two of them already agreed, my opinion doesn't matter. " But.. I'm a bit unwell. Can I just stay in the back? " I shamelessly said that.

I admit, I'm such a stupid coward. I don't want to get hurt in fantasy world. They just don't know who our enemies are.

" No problem. As long as we try." Narae tried to give us motivation. My glance met Cheonhwa Hong. Both of our faces said the same word, surrender.

The fourth round begun. My hands could not stop shaking. My feets was wobbling too.

Our enemies step on the battlefield with high heads. All of them looks promising. Cheonhwa Hong grabbed his sword and I even wasn't noticing what Narae did. My senses filled with fear and nervousness.

Shit. This is my first real battle. Only strengths get acknowledged here.

A regular with big body shouted, " HEY YOU! LET'S NOT FIGHT YET! LET'S BRING THEM DOWN FIRST! THEN WE FIGHT AFTER WE'VE FINISHED THEM! HOW'S THAT?!"

" I AGREE. LET'S NOT FIGHT NOW! WE NEED TO GET TOGETHER TO BEAT THEM... UGH!" One regular got shot.

My attention turned to a team on our right. They fight another challenger without gave a care to the throne.

I knew them. They're a team which designed by Khun to protect him. Damn. Shits arrived here.

A bob-cut girl was talking to a green-jelly monster, person with gun, and another creature with strange head. They attacked all of the challenger smoothly. Now, our team was their target.

The girl talked to the monster then that thing sprint to us with high speed. Don't know a jelly can be that fast.

" Everyone, get back! I will block this one!" Mr. Swordman ready his sword and fight that monster.

When my senses came back, I realized Narae already got tangled with the shooter. Now, it really just me. With no defense or offense, my body froze.

" Pay attention to what's happening around you. " A voice came from behind me. I miraculously avoid an attack from a scythe.

I fell to the ground. The strange creature with strange head stood tall in front of me. With a scythe, he resembling the angel of death. Then he began swinging his weapon toward me.

Maybe my death finally come. I helplessly looked at my persecutor.

Everything got slow motion. In my blank state, my eyes turned to the throne. With Rakhunbam team in my vision, I accidentally locked gaze with Bam. His face showed a shock expression. His black hair and gold eyes seemed shimmering in my eyes.

No.. NO! I CAN'T DIE HERE! I WILL LIVE AND SEE HIS ADVENTURES! I WILL LIVE AND FOUND MORE TIME TO GET CLOSER TO THEM! THIS IS WHAT I WANT, RIGHT! SCREW ALL OF THOSE HOMEWORK, I WANT TO FEEL WHAT FREEDOM IS!

Along with a determination I don't know I found where, for the second time, I passed the scythe. Regaining balance back, I ran to the other side. The grim reaper chased me. With hope he get tired, I ran even faster.

Maybe, I just unlucky, he caught up and cornered me. With my shaky breaths, I tried to figure out a way to escape but none came to mind. My foots already hurting from insane running. A feeling of desperation came back again.

Now his weapon already just one meter in front of me. I closed my eyes and screamed, " I WANT TO LIVE!!!"

Nothing happened. So, this is what death feels like. Didn't expect it to come to soon.

" MISS (Y/N)!!" I heard someone was shouting.

BADUUMM

A loud voice came from in front of me. I still scared to look but I gathered my will. I saw the strange head fell unconscious.

I didn't know what happened. My gazes was sweeping the arena. I could see Narae on the floor and mr. Knight was inside the jelly monster. Khun-Rak was frozen and Bam already stood in the throne.

I couldn't move my body. This is the end.

" I... surrender." I said with one hand in the air. With this, the fourth round finally completed.
