Novel Bin Chapter 51 Elves
Seeing the names of my group, I didn\'t know who they were. So I had to go to their class or wait for them to go to me. Olivia\'s group had someone familiar, a friend of hers, Jenny, in class A while the others were in classes F and G.
"How do you feel about your group?" I didn\'t have many thoughts about mine. I just hoped they were reasonable people and someone who wouldn\'t hinder us just because of their bad personalities.
"I\'m relieved that Jenny is in my group, but I\'m not so sure about the other two."
"How about you?" Olivia wanted my thoughts on my own team.
"As long as they don\'t have a troublesome personality, I won\'t mind if they\'re not useful." Although, as l said, I didn\'t mind if they were useless, I was confident I would be in the top five by myself. But, of course, if my team had support, that would be a bonus.
Having nothing left to do in the gym, we left the gym. We went to buy survival items for the test. It was better to buy everything earlier than late. We wouldn\'t want to miss some things just because they sold out.
Olivia and I bought a tent that was comfortable for one person. I wouldn\'t want someone to find I was a boy just because of that same mistake.
I bought high-quality rations since Olivia wouldn\'t be with me during our survival test. I should go to the dungeon and make enough credits for a magic space pouch.
Buying the remaining items that could make a living in the wilderness easier, I have a week before the start of the test. This week I will be finished upgrading my kidney, making me a bit stronger.
I would like to see what my group mates could do in this test. I may be able to do well by myself, but I want to do my best.
With everything bought, we went home. Olivia went to look for Jenny to prepare for the survival test. But, on the other hand, I was alone, free to do whatever I wanted.
There were a lot of things I could do. For example, I could go to the battle arena or the dungeon to get more credit. Deciding to go to the battle arena, I could see someone standing beside the door and calling out to me just as I was about to go in.
"Are you Charlie Solaris?" The student was nervous when trying to initiate a conversation with me.
"Yes, do you need something from me?" I didn\'t know what the person in front of me wanted, so I asked.
"I\'m Elly... from Class I. We\'re grouped together... so I hope we get along." So she was a group member of mine? I was surprised to see that she was an elf; she had long green hair with long pointy ears. Her blue eyes were easy to look at, but she would look away from anyone due to her nervousness.
Elves from this day and age usually have magic that stems from nature. Still, mutations could appear that would either improve their magic, or their magic could ruin their nature.
An example would be elves that have fire magic, usually would stay as level three magicians for the rest of their lives. To reach the fourth rank, you would need to build a core. The core of a magician would come from their origin, making it almost impossible for elves that have magic opposing their nature to be the fourth rank.
Looking at her, she was nervous that she paused midway through her sentences, but it was better for her to be afraid of me than annoy me. She was someone from the worst class. I wouldn\'t be surprised if she had an inferiority complex due to it.
"Have you met the remaining members of our group?" I didn\'t know who the others were, so I asked if Elly knew.
"No, sorry. I don\'t know who they\'re." She apologized immediately after being asked a question that she didn\'t have an answer to.
"It\'s fine." I sighed. Her eyes looked away, hearing my sigh, I wasn\'t mad at her or anything, but it would be uncomfortable for me if she talked like this the whole time.
"May I know why you were waiting around here?" I don\'t think she would know I was going to fight someone.
"I was going to ask if they knew who the others were in our group." She was pretty brave to do that for someone nervous talking to me. Or am I just scary? I didn\'t do anything to make anyone scared of me, right?
"Now that you found me, what will you do?" I had wanted to find them all together, making it easier for us to discuss what we would do in the survival test.
"If possible, I would like it if we could. you know... hang out." I couldn\'t tell if she was serious or not. Her nervousness made it seem too scary to "hang out" with me.
"I was going to earn some credits to buy a magic pouch. Do you mind watching me fight? We could talk later, and you could use this chance to see how I fight." It was more efficient for us to do this, she knew how I would fight and possibly adapt to it, and I could earn credits by doing this.
Hearing my suggestion, Elly agreed to it. Neither of us would lose anything, so having to agree to it, I went into the arena and queued for a match. I immediately found a match when I signed up for a battle. With class finished for the day, most students who wanted to improve their rank would come here.
My opponent was a student from Class C that was ranked 1521. It was my first time fighting someone of a lower rank than me.
Having arrived on the battlefield, I could see the student I was going to fight, shocked.
