Yuahuatouri: A New Life Being a Legend

Chapter 51 - Base Hunting and Survival

Korrina was lying on the lava with a tired looking expression, "Huh... Huh... Huh..." Korrina gave a small smile so that she changed back into her usual form, her Crimson-colored left eye instantly turned into the ocean blue again, "I did it... Alvin..." Korrina's left eye began to bleed red and black.

Arata landed in front of Korrina so her God-Slayer sword started to disappear and then entered her body, "... ..." Arata began to stare at Korrina with a tired expression as well, "It seems like we made it." Said Arata who started to sigh slowly then he helped Korrina to stand up.

Korrina began to look around where she saw the many inhabitants of the fire region, Korrina realized that she could no longer sense the existence of a god of destruction, The obelisk could already be called destroyed because of the cooperation of the third class. Fortunately they all did not lose one victim but rather they lost a great many victims from the first, two, four, and five classes. The four classes were slaughtered to the ground by the Obelisk using its destruction and Vanish magic.

Catherine started to open the portal to the academy and she also did not forget to bring Korrina and Arata home, the five of them smiled widely because they had managed to safely complete the second challenge of defeating the god of destruction. They all arrived on the rooftop showing happy expressions and Morgan watched their presence with a smile as well, "Good work, third grade. The five of you are ready to go straight into the Tournament of Solicitation. Congratulations and I'm happy to see you guys return safely and defeat the Obelisk's god of destruction." Morgan began to bow his head to them.

Arata walks away leaving them because he has nothing to do with them anymore, her task of killing the Obelisk's destruction god had been completed and also her condition had recovered since Korrina would definitely heal them all with her hair or healing magic. Korrina simply looked at Arata with a serious-looking expression, "Are you going to practice?" Ask Korrina.

"Of course."

"Don't you need a little rest...?" Korrina asked, "I don't need it." Reply Arata so he disappears and leaves them all. Korrina could only smile a little and she realized that over-training was not good, Agfi and Catherine walked away, "Where are you going?" Ask Korrina.

"We'll rest and maybe have lunch." They answered simultaneously, Agfi looked at Korrina then he waved his hand, "Dadah, Mama" Agfi smiled and that smile made Korrina proud that she really helped the third class in fighting the Obelisk, she said, he could sense that the Agfi poison worked a hundred percent to effect the entire Obelisk's body, in every blow or slash that Korrina did he felt that the Obelisk bone felt fragile like the instant he slashed his bones, he was like cutting paper using scissors.

Morgan began to stare at them, "It looks like you've taken good care of your son, Korrina." Morgan said, Korrina could only nod, "He's more dominant over Alvin's blood anyway." Korrina chuckled then she looked at Shira who was staring at her left arm, "What are you going to do now, Shiratori Shira?"

"I'll wait for Megumi's presence in completing the third challenge. What happens if all the challenges are completed?" Shira asked Morgan, "You will all learn as usual and your abilities will also be tested because some students who do not participate in the tournament will be tested so that they can qualify for the Tournament of Solicitaiton selection." Morgan said, "In a few months, the tournament will start so you'll just be prepared." Morgan walked away leaving them.

Shira nodded then she started to show a look of winning expression, "I will win!" Shira clenched her right fist.

A few hours ago where all the participants who were following the third challenge gathered, they all started staring at Lina, a guide for the third challenge, "Base hunting... You from now on must survive in that territory for an entire week, those three days are not enough and are too easy for you participants who must have holy magic or poison recovery. One week and you're safe, if your base is destroyed then you'll be disqualified and removed." Lina.

"The rules are very easy, you must survive and guard your core headquarters from all dangers such as monster attacks or attacks from other participants. All the facilities will come when an hour has passed, a cube that contains the facilities you need to be in it such as tents, food, and masks to be able to survive in inhaling toxic air." Lina said, the third challenge is essentially all participants who follow are required to survive and keep their core headquarters from being destroyed. All the participants who followed the third challenge would be transferred to a region called the Realm of Poison where the place was extremely poisonous, Lina herself was able to control the poison in the region as she had already created an island for them to undertake the third challenge and it was certain that the island would be protected with a barrier that prevented the poison from being introduced that region.

"Your challenge will be to walk on a large, very remote island, where it is not poison, but the place would be poisonous if I opened the barrier or put a little poison that spread into the barrier protecting the island. The five classes will have their respective headquarters nuclei shaped like crystals, each crystal has a different color in starting from one that is yellow, two that is blue, three that is red, and one that is red, four is green, and the last is five is white." Lina explained about the crystal-shaped core of the headquarters, if the crystal were to be destroyed then they would all be eliminated.

"Red color is..." Megumi said, "That crystal you can take with you if you have an item you find through the facility... Your core base can be moved using Shrink Button, where the tombal is able to make the crystal shrink and you can keep it in your pocket. Recall... That little crystal will enlarge for a while when a few minutes have passed, you have just one minute." Lina pointed her finger while showing a visible expression, "One minute yes... That means we shouldn't waste a minute of it." Akina.

"The crystal will float and it will continue to float, if it is destroyed then it will break into pieces so as to create a portal under you all and then eliminate you. This challenge also... You can't fly and you're free to kill anyone, the responsibility must be in both your hands." Lina smiled sinisterly and made them all instantly show a serious looking expression, "It seems like it will be hard..." Said Ophilia in a slow tone.

"Every day that passes the barrier will shrink which means that you have to move, the barrier will shrink and if someone touches it then they will burn or stung by dangerous toxins. Plus, you guys have to keep the crystal safe." Lina said, it seems like this challenge of three is quite difficult because they all have to lift or move the floating crystal.

"Not only that. On that island... There are some small crystals that can create a home or place to rest. That little crystal can be called a backup crystal, if you find it continuing to use it then your core headquarters will not be able to disintegrate before the backup crystal is destroyed. You guys are also capable of moving that spare crystal." All the participants immediately rounded their eyes because it seemed like the third challenge had to really try and never once to underestimate, cooperation was also important.

"Don't just focus on the base or survive. Your focus should also be on the attack on your enemy base and also to be careful if a poison outbreak from that region arises. Faster is better, isn't it?" Lina asked and they all immediately nodded, "Challenge three has a leader and the only person capable of moving the crystal or shrinking the crystal is just a leader. Your leader will not be replaceable unless for a logical reason, you can replace the leader using the goods from the facility as well."

Lina's explanation is getting more advanced and more difficult to design because everything sounds complicated to all participants, "Leader huh...? The crystal is heavy, isn't it?" Asuka said as she held out her right hand, "Yes... Take care of the crystal transfer itself, use your brain and plan." Answer Lina.

"If a leader dies or is defeated first then that class will fall and then lose. Remember, the island has many monsters, threats, and traps. You just have to mentally prepare all of you." Lina smiled then she started flicking her fingers so that a huge portal appeared above all the participants and sucked all the participants into the portal.

A few seconds later, a portal appeared above the green-colored ground and all the participants landed on the ground while showing a puzzled expression, "E-Ehh...? So this is...?" Akina asked so that her entire body started to creep as she could feel a great deal of poison from outside the barrier that she saw behind, "This place stings... There's a lot of poison." Mirai sighed.

Lina appeared in front of the two of them, all of the participants were already lined up in the reserved place like first class participants lined up in the first class place, all of the participants saw a huge cube in front of them, "Any minute... The third challenge is about to begin, so I've provided you with all the clothes you're going to wear for this week." Lina said, all the participants moved towards the cube and then they began to open it so that the contents of the cube is a jacket or training shirt with the same color as their respective crystals, "The red jacket..." Rexa began to hold the jacket tightly and all the participants began to wear their own jackets, with a number on their backs. That number signifies the class they represent.

"Hey, Akina, there's a number three on the back of your jacket." Said Megumi who started touching Akina's back, "Ehh...? I-I-I...?" Ask Akina.

Shua started to hold her chin, "It seems like deceiving the other participants would be difficult as well if we had to use this jacket..." Shua said, "The jacket is required to be worn every day until the challenge is over, not just the jacket. You should also use the clock available inside the cube." Tell Lina, Mirai took it and she stared at the clock, which began to emit a hologram of the number three.

"The use of the clock is very useful, the clock can tell you about the facility that will fall or land. The clock can also detect an impending poison outbreak, so you need to be careful, the clock also shows a map and also a barrier that will shrink every day that has passed, lest you lose the clock and the clock you have to wear every day." Have Lina and all the participants nod their heads immediately, Lina brandished her arms so that a wall appeared and blocked all the classes, "Next is the leader selection, Lina, inside the cube is also a small card filled with data just for the leader, take the card and put it in your watch and you are officially the leader of your class. This wall that I put up I did on purpose so that you can't see who the leader is, it can be called cheating." Shua.

Megumi picked up a small red card, it started to sparkle, "All right, everyone. We must choose a leader who looks inconspicuous at all." Megumi said, Akina started pointing at Mirai, the only male from the third grade who participated in challenge three, "If her leader is me then it makes quite a lot of sense, that man is a leader and I am the only man to follow this triple challenge. Better choose another leader besides myself." Refuse Mirai because if he is chosen to be the leader then all the classes will definitely know clearly that Mirai is the leader of the third class and he will definitely be targeted by all of them.

"Then, let's choose Shua." Said Asuka who started pointing at Shua who looks like designing a plan, "Ehh...? Me?" They all started to look at Shua with serious expressions so they started to show their smiles because Shua was not too flashy because she was quiet and cool, he runs everything so casually that not many participants know Shua, "It seems that Shua is also suitable to be chosen as a leader." Said Megumi who started moving her tail.

"Huh...? Me...? N-No way!" Shua tried to resist, but Ophilia began to hold onto Shua's hands while showing a pleading expression, "Please, Shua, you are the only girl who looks inconspicuous." Ophilia.

"Yeah... My chest is small anyway, so I'm not too flashy." Shua replied in a soft-sounding tone, "If you mind then I'll be the leader." Rexa started brandishing her right hand, but Shua immediately showed an expression that looked like it was threatening, "Hiiii!!! What the fuck is that expression!?" Rexa asked who started to show a look of fear.

"Me!!!" Shua snatches the small card from Megumi and she starts inserting the small card into her watch so that it starts to shine and then creates a hologram that says, "Leader." Shua began to smile broadly feeling proud of herself as she looked at the leader's word, "I will do my best!" Said Shua in an excited-sounding tone.

"We too!" Answer them all. A few minutes later, "It looks like you're all ready for the challenge. Be prepared because the challenge will begin." Lina said, Shua began to stare at her comrades, "Let's do our best friends!" Shua along with her comrades started to make a circle then they placed their hands in front, "Third grade...!!! AYOOOOO!!!" They all started to raise their hands.

"You will teleport in one.. two.... three...!!!" Lina flicked her fingers so they all instantly disappeared. Shua and her friends appeared right in front of the hovering red crystal, "It seems like it's already started." Said Megumi who started staring at the crystal that has a size that is quite large.

"It all starts now!" Said Shua who started to show a serious-looking expression. They all immediately nodded, "Come!!!"
