While Old Brad's laughter was shaking the place and the rest of the coaches were shocked, Frederic was rubbing his forehead and sighing because of his headache.

Now I understand why Alexander would make such a proposal

It was assumed that this would teach students how to choose reliable companions in battle

This will be in the interest of the students and beneficial to them

But Alexander was not the type to benefit others without benefiting himself

This is what Frederic knew well, and that is why he tried to realize Alexander's intentions, but he failed

The only thing he could gain with this modification was to kill his teammates to get some points

But the losses he will incur are not worth it

Because all he will get is three points, and in return he will have to do this in front of millions of viewers, which will bring his reputation to the ground

Given Alexander's realistic personality, which measures benefits and losses, He would definitely think twice before doing this

But he now realized that this boy did not hesitate, even for a moment, to throw his colleagues into the abyss in front of everyone

On top of all this, he smiled and made a victory sign in front of the camera

“...” Doesn’t he feel even a little guilty?

Does he really not care about the attacks he will face from everyone, who accuse him of being a traitor?

Frederic could only shake his head

He didn't know who these stupid kids were who decided to take Alexander as their team mate

But it seems that they have learned an unforgettable lesson that they should not cooperate with suspicious people like Alexander

“How long until the end of the test?” Frederic asked, resting his back on the chair

“Ten minutes...” one of the test supervisors answered

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

Okay, let's finish this test

Frederic felt that Alexander would do a lot of stupid things if he was left there any longer

---------------------

Alexander was running as fast as he could to reach the cave, and at the same time he was counting his points

I have eighty-three points, so I'm three points ahead of Edward

Edward can get these points easily, but for some reason he hasn't taken any points since they fought and only has eighty points.

He may have been injured due to their fight, or he may have given up and decided that third place was enough, or he just doesn't care about this test at all.

It doesn't matter why because I will be the winner in every cases

He does not need to kill anyone more because the difference between him and Daniel is just one point and his goal is second place, not first, so he will not risk doing anything that might cause him to rise to first place.

All that's left is four minutes

Alexander began to see the financial reward already in front of him

He reached the cave and carefully took out the bomb that was at its entrance

There are twelve bombs distributed in different areas of the cave, but the deepest area in the cave has the lion's share with five bombs.

Since entering the cave, Alexander carried the bombs he found on his way and continued towards the center of the cave

“Who are all these things for?”

Alexander heard a female voice when he reached the depths of the cave

He cautiously moved towards the center and found that Lily and Ner were fiddling with the box containing his daggers and damaged hunting traps.

Alexander approached them and said cautiously. " you guys-"

But Lily interrupted him with a fierce voice as soon as she spotted him. "Alexander!"

Lily lunged at Alexander so fast that the ground beneath her feet shattered

"Lily! Don't do that!" Ner ran after her friend to stop her before she clashed with Alexander

Alexander dodged Lily's blow, which caused the wall to shatter

Alexander held his breath for a moment

If Lily touches me, it will be the end of me

“Wait a minute, how about we talk outside...” Alexander tried to convince her because fighting here would be dangerous for everyone

The place may collapse due to Lily's strikes that destroy the place, and what is worse is that the place is filled with bombs

There are only two minutes left until the test ends

He must hold out until this is all over

“Hahaha, do you think I’ll let you fool me like you did before?” Lily looked at Alexander like she looked at a fish on a cutting board. “You are now trapped and I will make you regret drawing that mustache on my face.”

"If that's what's bothering you, I'm sorry."

“If you're really sorry, then let me smash your head in.” Lily directed a strong punch at Alexander's head, who was able to escape with difficulty after jumping several meters back

Lily was walking towards while Ner was behind her trying to stop her

wait a moment!

Alexander looked at the ground in horror and screamed, extending his hand. " Lily!."

But his scream disappeared amid the noise of the explosion that shook the place

Boom!

Lily and Ner's bodies turned into flakes of light and disappeared

Alexander's mouth was open and his hand was extended forward desperately

No, no, no... Alexander grabbed his head

He wanted to open the list of heroes, but it did not appear

Please don't tell me the test is already over

A mechanical sound rang throughout the virtual world. “The test is over.”

Alexander's vision became dark, and when he regained his vision, he found that he was inside the huge capsule that one of the dwarves had opened

Alexander removed the wires that were attached to his body

Then he got out of the capsule and fell to his knees, desperately holding the dwarf's shoulders. “Please tell me what my ranking is?”

The place was crowded with students emerging from their capsules and instructors who came here to check on the students

The instructors looked at Alexander with mixed emotions

They did not expect Alexander to reach this level

The old dwarf smiled and said in a harsh voice. “Congratulations kid, you got first place.”

Alexander lowered his head as soon as he heard the old dwarf's words

Silence reigned throughout the place

This was a historic moment for everyone

Winning the most important test that was conducted for the first time in history and in front of millions of viewers

The lucky winner will receive a prize presented by the Emperor himself

This amount of honor is capable of making anyone shocked for a moment

That's why no one was surprised by Alexander's silence

"Hmm...?" Only the old dwarf noticed that Alexander's behavior was abnormal

Alexander grabbed his head and screamed desperately. "Noooooo..."
