Chapter 77

EEHH!!??"

Every student in the stadium panicked as the time limit being displayed on their tablets began to move.

"Yuji!" Erina approached Yuji, along with Layla.

Seeing them band together, Jasper and Ryan walked closer, "do you guys have room for two more?"

Yuji smiled and nodded in reply, "I assume this is our team?"

Everyone nodded.

"Did you get all that instructions?" Layla said in a worried tone.

"To be honest I think she messed up the pattern of instructions on purpose," Erina said.

Yuji nodded, "but I think she still has more in store..."

Meanwhile, in the stage, where Liz along with other staff members is on, they watched the students through the tablets they have, which are connected to the high spec drones flying on top of the stage.

"Miss. Liz, I found the first people who seem to make a team of five,"

Liz nodded, "I see, give them additional points, who are these people?"

"Here ma'am," the staff showed the photo.

"THIS IS!?" Liz's eyes shrunken in shock, "

"so, she actually brought him back..." She whispered.

Liz grabbed the mic, "for additional information, if you look carefully at the sides of this stadium, you will see more than a hundred cases placed uniformly on the wall,".

Yuji looked around and saw the black cases, "for now let's go grab those, quick!"

On Yuji's signal, the group began to move.

"And if you're curious on what's in it, then I'll tell you," Liz smiled, "they're all cases filled with amplifiers! You can use them in the event as much as you want, the way you dosage yourself is your decision,"

Hearing these words, the students scattered all over the stadium, trying to grab a case, with Yuji's team being in the lead.

"A few groups of students marched earlier than others,"

Liz smiled, "give them additional points,"

"Even though I can clearly see who is in the lead," she thought.

Ryan grabbed the case and placed it on the ground, "alright we secured the first one,"

"How much is inside?" Yuji asked.

Ryan opened the case, "there are five,"

Layla turned around, "umm guys, there are a bunch of people heading towards here!"

"How much are on other cases?"

"There are five in here too!" Erina said, picking up another case.

"Alright then, just grab another and that's all we need!"

"Three cases? Are you sure?" Jasper asked.

"This is more than enough," Erina said, "the test will end in one hour and the effect of one syringe shot is minimized to thirty minutes,"

"And bringing more than what is needed will just be a bother," Yuji said grabbing another case.

"I... I got it," Jasper said.

"You don't seem like you do," Layla thought.

"Anyway, let's go!" Yuji said.

"Where?" Layla asked.

"Anywhere out here, we can think while on the way,"

Noises from the crowd of students getting closer to them grew louder. due to the pressure, everyone nodded and ran outside.

"And the first team is out!"

The crowd cheered.

"Gosh, those people are fast," Ray said picking up a case, "huh? Isn't that Erina? That probably explains it,"

Jack walked beside him, "we can't let us get too outdone, let's go too,"

"Yeah yeah, anyway does those group of people seem familiar to you?"

Jack looked carefully as the group continue to gain distance, not being able to recognize them, "not important, let's go,"

"Alright alright, two of these, right?"

"And the second group is out!" the commentator said.

Some students panicked after grabbing the case, not knowing what to do, as others just followed the leading ones and ran outside.

"Why are we heading towards there?" Erina asked, "there's a specialized weapon much closer,"

"We'll let them have it, we're in the lead so we might as well get the one on the front,"

"I see,"

As they continue to run, they passed by the streets, avoiding any damage they can cause to the pedestrians.

"Hey look some people are waving at us," Jasper said, waving back at the people.

"It's because we're in uniform, this is a huge event in City A, so I'm sure people are aware of it," Erina said.

"Reminder!" Through the speakers around the city, Liz said, "to all the students, causing damage to the city will result in deduction of points and the money on your wallet!"

"Even our money!?" Yuji thought.

"We better make sure not to cause any damage at all cost..." Layla said, with a serious tone and expression.

Everyone nodded in seriousness.

"We're here, What's the plan?" Ryan said.

"Let's split into three, each takes one case with you," Yuji said.

"Three?" Erina said.

"Right now, we're in a triangular position between the other specialized weapons, we'll take each, Layla and Erina go to the west, Ryan, Jasper you guys go east,"

"What!? Why are you going alone?" Erina complained, "not to brag but, isn't it more sensible for me to go solo?"

Layla nodded, "I agree, she is the only S class in our team,"

"True, but I want her to get some support, look here," Yuji pointed at the tablet, displaying a map, "the ones in the west and east are on the second nearest to the stadium, there is a high chance that the place will become a hard point, compared to where I'm going..."

Yuji moved the map, to the end, "I'll be going straight here, there is a low chance for anyone to be there, especially since we're in the lead,"

"I see... With that we can have one specialized weapon secured without any trouble," Layla said.

"Exactly, that's why I'm the one going for this,"

Erina nodded with a worried expression, "I understand... Don't try to do anything too risky ok?"

"I won't," locking eyes with each other, "I promise,"

"EHEM!" Ryan coughed, "I'm sorry but we're in a hurry, aren't we?"

"Y... yeah, let's go then!" Yuji said.

And so, they split ways, heading to different areas.

"Looks like the people in the lead are doing an interesting move! I wonder what they have in mind,"

Liz let out a sigh, watching Yuji's group from the large monitor in the stadium, "he's alive... Yukina's power and strength along with his mind and instincts I don't think it's impossible at all..." She thought, "but I wonder if that's all it took…"

Jack and Ryan ran towards the nearest area for the specialized weapon.

"It's a wide area! And there's also a red mark here," Ray said, looking at the massive circle with a warehouse in the center,".

"It's quite a run when we get there, and it seems like there's a massive wall behind the warehouse,"

"Making it no way to run at the back, and all these people are just behind us... This place is sure to be a battle zone," Ray let out a sigh.

"Announcement, for those who have arrived at the said battle zones, you are free to cause damage to the area without any consequences, as long as the damage is within the red line,"

"I see..." Jack said, "if that's the case,"

Jack opened his case, injected himself, and placed the syringe back, then suddenly ran towards the warehouse.

"Hey! What are you...?"

"Go ahead and grab other specialized weapons, I'll handle it here!" Jack shouted.

"Jeez, just going in like that... Well, it's him so I guess I'm just gonna trust him on this,"

Ryan looked back, hearing the noise of a crowd emerging from a distance, "oops, I better go ahead and do what he said,".

"Things are about to heat up folks!" The commentator said, "what will we see!?"

As Yuji was running towards the end, Erina, Layla, Jasper, and Ryan, found themselves in a similar situation to Jack's location and was preparing to fight their way out.
