Sword Rankers
First test: Battle Royal

srakk...

"Hoshis... Hoshs... Hosh..."

"Pursue him!"

In the middle of the wilderness, there was the sound of crushed leaves being stepped on, accompanied by the sound of gasping breaths. Ran runs away from the Hyper who are chasing him.

Cih, I thought everything would be hostile to each other, it turns out there are also groups. Ran complained in his heart.

At first, Ran thinks he only needs to fight one by one, he doesn't think that any Hyper would choose to work together to hunt down another weaker Hyper.

As a result, Ran is chased by 3 people Hyper from earlier.

"Pursue him!"

"Don't let him get away!"

"You're both noisy, I get it."

The three of them were actually not very strong, Ran might just be able to defeat them easily if one-on-one.

But as they band together to hunt down Ran, Ran is eventually forced to flee with all his might to avoid them.

"Stop you! Don't torture yourself, just stop, you're gonna lose here!" Shouted one of Hyper who was chasing Ran, he intended to provoke Ran. But, it did not work at all for Ran who was used to being insulted many times while still in school.

Hmh! Very arrogant, try if you are only alone, I would have destroyed you.

Then, Ran noticed there were 3 forked roads that were each separated by trees and rumble weeds, about several tens of meters in front of him. Right in front of the road, there are two coconut trees that cross like a gate.

Ran immediately thought of an idea.

Ran instantly created a slightly longer dagger, focusing his Mananya on sharpening it, instead of increasing its size.

Then, while running fast, Ran instantly slashed one of the coconut trees as hard as possible.

In one slash alone, the coconut tree was instantly slashed neatly and collapsed blocking the path.

Blocked by the fallen tree, coupled with the dark weather, the sight of the three Hyper people chasing Ran was instantly blocked. Ran took advantage of that short opportunity to run away from them.

The three Hyper jump the fallen coconut tree, but they do not find Ran behind it. I don't know which path Ran chose.

"Damn, where'd he go?"

"Do we have to split up?"

"Don't it be his plan, he wants to separate us and then beat us one by one."

"Then how?"

"We'll just back off, we'll find somebody else."

"Damn it, to put where our faces are if we give up on one man, it wouldn't be a shame if he was William Austin, but he's just an unknown boy."

"Clearly how? You wanna go after him? The risk is too great."

"Be quiet, don't fuss, someone will hear it."

The three people were arguing violently, they could not decide whether to chase after Ran or not.

Their debate grew heated, until it almost turned into a quarrel.

And when the atmosphere gets heated up, that's when Ran acts.

Srak...

Ran suddenly appears from behind the bushes around the coconut tree while carrying a long sword, no one realizes that Ran is hiding there, all of them assume Ran escaped through one of the streets in front of them.

With an impromptu attack, the three of them had no time to do anything.

Slashwas...

One of them was hit by a slash from Ran, his slash was not deep enough, but in a careless state, it was enough to make someone stray.

Both of his friends turned to Ran.

"You!" Shouted both.

But they have not had time to do anything, Ran immediately threw the eyes of the two with sand.

"Akhich!" Both of them shouted loudly because they were hit by sand.

Without missing this golden opportunity, Ran hit the heart of one of the people in front of him using the handle of his sword.

"Ohuk!" The man coughed when his heart was hit by Ran.

The person who was hit by Ran's heart immediately knelt in pain. Ran did not intend to stop, he intended to attack the fallen person again.

Vusshhh...

Suddenly a strong wind blew around Ran. Ran immediately realized the source of the wind. He turned his head and saw the other person whose eyes were thrown by sand by Ran, already standing up and gathering the whirlwind in his palm.

Ran instantly retreated instantly when he saw it, he used his sword as a shield to guard from the attack.

But it's too late, "Eat it!" Shouted the person while throwing a whirlwind in his palm towards Ran.

Wushh....

Ran is thrown due to the whirlwind toss of that person who turns into *****pair.

Krakk... Crack... Brakkkk

The bushes and trees around were destroyed in the attack ******pachet created by that person.

Brakes

An Ran finally crashed into a thrown stop after hitting a tree, "Uhuk! Yuck!" Ran coughed until vomiting because he hit a tree.

Bibs

Ran's bracelet rang, the bracelet displayed Ran's current vital condition, as a result of the attack, Ran's HP was reduced by more than half. There are only about 100 left.

"Hoshis... Hosh... Shit, I'm tired already this way." Ran grumbled while trying to stand up.

But Ran wavers and falls back.

"Duhh... Don't babble indistinctly, please help us dong!" His friends who were hit by Ran's attack groaned for help.

"Yes, be patient."

Bhuak

Suddenly, a cannonball bound in chains emerged from behind the bushes. The ball hit the head of the person who was hit by Ran's slash.

Bibs

His bracelet rang out, his HP instantly depleted, his body fading away along with the exhaustion of his HP.

"Eh?" The person who had attacked Ran became confused to see his friend disappear.

The other friend immediately shouted, "Hoi! Blurred!"

Bhak

The one who had shouted that, his head was immediately stomped down into the ground by a black-robed person.

"Wah Wah, if calculated with that one, it means there are 3 people who we managed to finish off. It can be your instinct." Said the black-robed man.

Srak

A voice from behind the trees.

"I told you, just find a noisy place, someone must be fighting there." The voice of someone emerged from behind the trees and lush grass. From there, there appeared many people wearing black robes, not only 1-2 people, but there were 13 people who appeared together.

"Iyadeh, you're right, which means we'll hunt like this next time."

The person who had previously attacked Ran, was now alone, his comrades had already lost, and now he was surrounded by people who were more savage than him.

"That means this guy lives?"

"Don't anyone fight with them? Where the hell is he?"

"It's dead time."

"Wear in what way? Should it be stabbed? Or maybe squeeze the blood out."

"Don't you fool, you want us eliminated?"

"Hihihi, that's for sure.... You're done...!"

The 13 people laughed bitterly while glancing at that one helpless person. The man was frightened to the point of not being able to stand up, he cried in fear while freezing on the spot.

"Hiii..... Hukkkkkkk.... Hhh...."

Jleb

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.........!!!!!!" His screaming voice echoed throughout the forest.

Bibs

The person's bracelet read, his HP instantly depleted, he did not die, but he had already been eliminated and sent to the waiting room for the already eliminated participants.

Here's this test. This test required all participants to fight each other until only 100 more were left. But, there is a strict prohibition on this test, that is, "Not to kill"

The regulation was related to the image of Rankers in the eyes of the public, if there were to kill each other in this test, the image of Rankers would be destroyed.

Even so, not a few were traumatized due to the experience of fighting with a ruthless Ranker.

For example like this time, after the 13 people finished off their targets, they immediately left, without checking the entire place.

They were not even aware that Ran had still not been eliminated.

Right now, Ran lay weakly among the grasses and giant flowers, as Ran felt their aura, he hurriedly crawled to hide among the lush grass.

As a result of the injury from the previous attack, Ran's aura became so thin that they didn't even notice it.

"Hosh... Hosh... You could say my plan is smooth, even though it takes more effort and a little off the mark."

From the beginning, Ran had no intention of defeating the three people directly, Ran realized that the three of them were quite difficult to deal with by Ran himself, That's why, Ran, groups must be fought with larger groups.

Ran deliberately cut the large coconut tree to cause a commotion, he also deliberately fished for one of them to use their abilities to make it even more noisy.

Ran had predicted that one of them must have a destructive ability, even though it was quite risky because it was too similar to gambling.

Whether I am lucky or not, it turns out that there are indeed those who have quite destructive and noisy abilities, but as a result I became quite badly injured. Though my plan was to run away immediately after they used his ability.

Ran turned to think about the next step, he realized that this exam would take quite a long time due to the large number of participants, There are about 400 people who take this exam, he said, it's been a few hours, but it's relatively quiet for Hyper's fight size.

Ran thought of the people earlier, they immediately moved when they heard the sound of the fight, and it seemed like they were indeed targeting to gang up on the already exhausted people.

But, for hours, Ran only heard 2 times the commotion including the one he made, so it's possible, "Many are still hiding."

It makes sense, moved suddenly like this, most would hide while forming a group and making their own basecamp.

After all, it doesn't matter if you work together, because all it takes is to reduce the other participants, no matter if you eliminate others or not, you will still pass if you still survive.

Do I also need to make a group? Think Ran deeply.

Tik

Ran felt water droplets hit his nose, as he looked up, the dark sky gave off lightning.

Glucose

The sound of lightning was clearly heard, it seemed that it would be raining heavily, "Damn, where exactly is this? It seems the weather won't allow me to rest." Gerrutu Ran while trying to stand up.

Tests... Tests... Tests...

The rain started to fall, Ran immediately hurriedly ran in search of shelter.

meanwhile, in another room, Ranker Amare and Emily sat down while observing several monitor screens featuring examinees including Ran.

"Hooo~ The white-haired boy was great as well, from my view, he deliberately provoked a commotion for many to gather." Comments on Ranker Emily

"Curtain! What's so great about it, he's embarrassing the men's names, the men should be fighting head-on, what's so great about him? I prefer William Austin, he was the one who eliminated the other participants the most individually. Not like the other cowards who make the group." Reply to Ranker Amare while insulting Ran some other participants.

Ranker Emily was slightly irritated at Ranker Amare, she pinched Ranker Amare while scolding him, "Silence! Don't let you comment weird again, because of you, there are a lot of participants who don't get away just because you don't like their way."

"Aw! Aw! Aw! Yes yes sorry! sorrysorry! Please don't pinch that part, yesterday it got bitten by a monster."
