Chapter 104 104 The hidden treasures
[El's POV: ]
"First we infuse a little Mana in the lens and then… oh! Good!"
The special lens that the academy provided to all individuals was a unique artifact that not many realize the true value of.
'I mean, just how many would think that this is a unique thing and something that's related to the treasures and stuff mentioned at the start of the test? Not more than 459 people from the tens of thousands of them, right?'
Well, more than that number might figure out the basic use of this lens but, only a few could find the true use of this device.
"Let's see."
We had to infuse quite a lot of mana into it just for it to start working but since my Mana was of very pure quality, the lens only required one unit of it to activate.
And since it was activated, the simple convex lens was glowing with a blue light.
'If we look at the target object for a while with this lens for a few moments…'
[Rock]
"Kyaaaaa! Wowy~!"
A white status window opened before me this time and there was just one thing written on it, which was amazing as well!
[ "Oy, bubu! This lens works as well!" ]
[ "Of course it does dummy. You already knew it would. Why are you so happy about this?" ]
[ "It showed me this rock is a rock!" ]
[ "And?" ]
[ "This rock is not a rock~! Hehehehe!" ]
[ "Haaaaa… yes. Ha. Ha. Ha. I've already found four rocks like that but I didn't get anything good. The best thing I have gotten until now was from a hole in the wall. I got a magic scroll of (Level-2) [(Net)]." ]
[ "Whaaaaaaaaat?! That's so fucking good! It hasn't even been three hours you lucky bastard!" ]
[ "Hurry up ma'am. The clock is ticking and I'm already digging." ]
[ "Ughhhhh! Fuck you!" ]
[ "Haha-" ]
[ "I mean literally. Fuck~. You~. Baby~." ]
[ "…ok bye." ]
The bastard got flustered, hehe.
"But what he said makes things difficult."
I had to get more points than him and yes I had the choice of killing all the things in my path including the monsters that weren't meant for the students but doing so might still not be enough.
'This labyrinth was divided into A to Z sections and the earlier sections of A and after that were considered the lower arena of the labyrinth.
Which means I am almost at the start while that bastard is around the lower parts where the stronger monsters with more points resided.'
If I can kill creatures right and left, he had the same option before him.
He can kill the things on his side, but he will mostly try to avoid them since they aren't of much importance to our ultimate plan here.
We were going to get the first place, that much was already decided, but the points we earned during this test would be converted to the currency that we could use inside the academy to buy nearly anything we could.
So, the points were important but not necessary and, the rank was decided too. The only thing left for us now was to follow what we had decided and things would be fine.
'But, if I go around killing everything like I'm considering, that bastard will also do the same. Maybe he will start going for the other students too, so…'
Nah. What did it matter anyway?
"He can do what he wants. Let's just go do a blood bath~."
Yes. I will just kill all the monsters here and defeat the students that I can find, and, if my luck shines and things catch my eye, I will also gather all the treasures on my path.
"There should be more stuff around these areas too. So, let's do that."
It was a nice idea. I am a genius~.
But before I go ahead, my first treasure was waiting for me here.
"You are not just some rock. Cheer up."
Putting more Mana in the lens and activating it, I looked at the rocks once again.
[A simple rock.]
"You aren't simple either."
Once more. I activated the lens and looked at the rock thoroughly.
[It is just a simple rock.]
"No, it isn't. I know you aren't any simple rock. I know. So know that as well."
Again. The same process. But this time, a unique text appeared on the white screen.
[You see a rock strangely aligned in a rock formation. Still, it is a mere rock so you shouldn't waste your time.]
"Hahaha, I'm not wasting my time. I know you ain't some simple rock~."
I spanked the surface of the ordinary-looking rock, which certainly was out of my own habit, and looked at it with the lens once again. And from the text that appeared this time, I know it was the start.
[You had witnessed the loneliness of a solo rock present in a rock formation and tried comforting it with your words.]
[The rock's soul was touched and he had gained some confidence.]
[However, he was still a rock at the end of the day and nothing more.]
[He was, he is, and will forever remain a rock. Destined to be alone. With no unique future ahead of him.]
[Your spank made it blush though.]
There were a series of screens before me… and what the fuck do you mean he blushed?! That's just a rock! Rocks don't blush-
'Oh, wait. A blushing rock… hehehe. A blushing rock…'
This was a nice idea. I will make him do it like this too, lol. Hehe. A blushing rock… a blushing tied up Lucy.
"Kekekeke. Thanks for the idea."
This was good. Very gooooood I would say. We will have fun~.
At least I will, kek.
"Anyway, you don't have to be alone forever."
I looked around the area and another rock which definitely was out of place caught my attention some distance away.
"Oh, see. There's someone like you out there. You both just didn't know."
Picking up the rock crying some distance away, I placed it beside this lonely one that liked my spanking for some reason.
-Tap.
And if he liked spanking, there was no way he wouldn't like a spank from a fellow rock that might just become his eternal partner from now on.
"You two can be together like this, and fuck if you can. Not that you can, but, go ahead if you can. Make small pebble babies."
This was set so, I charged the lens again and looked at the new couple of rocks… and as soon as I did that, a strange story started playing on the white screen appeared this time.
[He had given up on his life, he had given up on this dark world with nothing in it. He was alone from the moment he realized it, and he was going to be alone till the moment he was disintegrated into a speck of fine dust, becoming one with this cave, the origin of his miserable life.]
[He had no idea why he was the only one alone too. All around him were others to accompany them as their partners. But he was alone.]
[He had accepted his eternal fate, however one day, you appeared as its guardian angel and spanked him, blowing a new life in his lost self.]
[Not only that, you gave him hope, a new reason to live, and above all, you introduced him to another one like him, a lone soul that had been alone.]
[They were happy to see someone they could rely on, someone they could be with to pass their lonely time in this dark place.]
[He was grateful to you, you are his savior. And the one you chose for him, was also grateful to you as he had none to even envy.]
[You combined to beings, lifted their worries, and freed them, and for that, the thank you from the bottom of their souls.]
-Oooooooooong!
"Well… fuck."
That was some shitty long ass story. And it was lame too.
"Plus I'm no one's guardian angel. Not yet at least. But… thanks for the gift~."
The place where the two rocks used to be was now turned into a place like any other one in this area, and, after they vanished into that bright light, they left a unique-looking ring for me.
============
[Ring of thanks]
→Mana (+6)
→Charm (+3)
(★A sealed ring left behind by two grateful souls for their savior. Use it with care~.)
============
"Hehehe. It's not as good as the ring we got the last time but this is good~. Certainly better than stuff that bastard might have collected until now and, this is a sealed item! Fuck yeah~!"
[ "Oy, I got a sealed ring~." ]
I had to tell him this first. This stuff was a hidden treasure after all~.
[ "Well, good for you… but I'm kind of busy right now, El. This is code bets 3." ]
Hmmm? Wait what?!
[ "You too?! Who's it? Rex? Cathy? Ohhh! Is it Ras??!" ]
[ "Yup. It's Ras. And a fight is inevitable for us." ]
[ "Damnnnnnn! I wanted to fight him first!" ]
[ "Yes, well, no. He's kinda challenging me after witnessing me slice a pack of hobgoblins in half." ]
[ "Fuck, man! This is cheating!" ]
He was ahead of me in the score, he got more treasures than me, and now he was going to fight the MC before me too. How was this fair?!
I demand an explanation! Why?!
-. --- / .-. . .- ... --- -. ..--..
'Fuck off!'
I'm unlucky. Just too unlucky. Am I cursed or something?
"Ugh. I was happy for a moment here."
[ "Listen Lucy." ]
[ "Quick ma'am. I don't have much time here." ]
Of course, he doesn't have much time. It's fascinating he's even free enough to speak with me.
The opponent he's facing is a tough one after all. He had almost achieved enlightenment and he might have ascended if it wasn't for his lack of authority.
And he was kind of a madman like me, so he was a fun and difficult one.
Still, he was facing my Lucy.
[ "Win you bastard. This is an order." ]
There was no way in hell or heaven he was gonna win against my baby dog.
[ "Order accepted ma'am." ]
Oh, and Lucy was a crazier person than me so as I can feel right now, even though he was facing the main character of this game of ours, he was excited right now. He was so excited that he was almost having micro-orgasms or something.
'Crazy bastard…'
Two crazy people were fighting over there, and here I am, alone, with no achievement whatsoever.
'This is frustrating, fuck. Let's go destroy a dan.'
Monsters appeared in small groups or by themselves but, there were places in this labyrinth where the monsters had made their dan. And the nearest one from where I was, was a (Blood lion) dan, house of <D> rank (Level-80) monsters.
It was a guarded area so students weren't allowed to enter that place.
'But that's the story if I'm going through the only known front gate. They don't even know another entrance to that place exists so, it's gonna be easy.'
He was fighting Ras, the person in the tenth place with eleven thousand points.
His win was guaranteed even if he had to fight for the rest of the day, so he was at least going to have all his points.
'Which means I will have to hurry up.'
I'm not losing to that bastard. I already had fewer wishes than him so no way I was going to give him even more after proposing the bet myself.
'Let's go then~.'
I will kill some cats here, then some dogs, then some snakes, some bats, some lizards, and by the time I meet him, I should have also defeated some of the other students with some good points so, that much should be good enough.
Still, this was my Lucy I was up against. I could just never stick to the basic calculations…
