Chapter 50

"Ugh..."

Runaan's trembling was getting worse and worse. Her pink lips were turning completely pale.

Why aren't you doing anything if you are going to break her curse?

'Because it's not the right time.'

In order to heal a deep scar, it was necessary to let it fester until it rotted. Only then could the scar be completely removed.

Raon tapped his finger, watching Jake summon the third orc.

It wasn't the right time to pop the bloated blister yet.

***

The fight to death between trainees and monsters continued.

Thanks to Burren and Martha's great opening, the trainees didn't run away despite being nervous.

It took a while for some of them, but they all managed to finish off their orc after aiming for its head, heart, or through a desperate fight.

Raon watched the arena as the sun began to set. Dorian was using his footwork while screaming.

"Kuaaah!"

The orc followed him with a horrible roar, but it couldn't catch Dorian because his feet were simply too fast.

"Haa!"

Shouting that he was scared, Dorian swung his sword. The orc's back was cut instead of its neck.

"Eek!"

"Uaaah!"

Dorian was even more surprised than the injured orc and started running away. The orc was infuriated and pounced at him with a dreadful shriek.

"What is that?"

"Wh-when is it ending?"

"It's already been thirty minutes. Thirty minutes!"

"His stamina and speed are great, at least.

"There's only Raon and Runaan left. They will finish even faster."

The trainees sighed and watched the chase between Dorian and the orc.

Raon licked his lips while watching Dorian's feet.

'If only he had a bit more guts...'

Dorian was nimble on his feet and his sword technique was sharp, but he was too cowardly. If only he could fix his scaredy cat nature, he could be ranked right after Martha, Runaan, and Burren.

Rustle.

He turned around at the sand's crumbling sound. Runaan was grasping the sand tightly, to the point that her fingernails were bleeding.

"Ugh..."

Her face was completely pale, her lips were covered in bruises after being bitten countless times, and her hands and feet were trembling as if there was an earthquake.

It was a typical appearance of a person who wasn't simply scared, but completely terrified.

Rimmer, who was on the platform, furrowed his brows and looked at Runaan. He must've been wondering whether he should send her back.

'That won't do.'

After all, it was the best moment to pop the blister that had completely matured.

Raon stood up and went next to Runaan, making her shivering ease slightly.

"You must be scared."

"......"
