The advantage of teleporting was that she could escape faster than others.

Setsuna took two people and retreated more than three hundred meters in five seconds. Considering that the giant machine was still destroying the tall buildings and causing debris to fly everywhere, and that the ground was not much safer than the sky, she finally chose to stop on the rooftop of a tall building a block away. At the very least, it was easier to judge the situation at a high altitude.

"But … it's not very optimistic."

Setsuna said in a low voice as she casually glanced at the tragic situation on the ground.

She did not know if it was intentional or random, but her luck was just that bad. The number of candidates with high mobility in the examination hall could be counted on one hand, and that was including herself, who was temporarily away from the battle.

Although the giant machine's movement speed wasn't fast, its habit of randomly smashing things still caused a lot of trouble. In a SimCity filled with tall buildings, the chain reaction was the most terrifying weapon. The collapsed buildings along with the surrounding buildings soon became a pile of ruins.

"As expected of the robot that Mike advised to run when you encounter it."

The blonde teenager, who was lucky enough to hide in the safe zone, raised his hand and looked into the distance. He could not help but sigh. "Ah … Fortunately, we met little Chisaki. I don't have such a strong escape ability."

"Yeah …"

Cha Na vaguely responded to his compliment. His eyes were still fixed on the battlefield where the flames of war were raging. "As expected, it's a bit difficult for other candidates, isn't it?

I … Should I go back and bring a few more here? "

"No way."

The teenager, who had been intimately approaching her, was instantly frightened and took two steps back. "It's not easy to get out, and you want to go back?

Don't worry, it's just an exam. No one will really get hurt. "

"But when you enlarged the range of the electric net, no one came to save the situation. And when Chisaki and I were ambushed, no one came to save us.

This is the Sunyoung. Those professional heroes probably think that it's normal to get hurt. "

This time, the one who retorted was Erlang, who had been silent for a long time. She had been using the earphone plug to confirm something on the platform. At this moment, she finally raised her head and looked directly at Setsuna. "The foundation near this building is still very stable. Nothing will happen for the time being."

(In other words, it shouldn't be a problem to ignore them for now.)

Setsuna hesitated for a moment before she made up her mind. "Then, please wait here for a moment. I'll go back —"

"I'll go with you."

Erlang replied straightforwardly. He patted the dust off his knees and took the initiative to reach out his hand. He was so decisive that he did not lose to her at all. "With your personality, you won't be able to attack and defend at the same time, right?

I can be of help as a medium to short-range cover. "

"…"

It was completely correct, so awe-inspiring that no one could refuse.

Setsuna smiled.

(How could I forget again?

The people in front of me …)

"Erlang -san …"

(For the time being, they are all heroic volunteers.)

She held his right hand back and unconsciously tightened her grip. Then, she turned around and was about to jump off the building with Erlang when she heard the golden-haired young man's deep sigh.

"Ah, ah, I know!

I'll go too, right? I'll go too! "

He strode over with a conflicted expression on his face. In the end, he made up his mind. "I can't let the girls take the risk!"

"No, you won't be of any use even if you go. You're just a guy who can't even hit a target."

Splash.

The young man's enthusiasm was instantly doused by Erlang's cold water. He froze on the spot, his whole body fading into a grayish-white sculpture.

"Also …" Setsuna, who was relatively gentle, showed an apologetic expression. "My movement limit is about 180 kilograms, which means that three people are my limit. If I bring you along, I won't be able to bring anyone else who needs help."

Splash.

The grayish-white sculpture was hit hard again. Cracks appeared all over its body, and it looked like it would shatter into pieces at any time.

Setsuna laughed dryly as she watched him fall to his knees in despair. She tried to comfort him.

"It's not like you can't help if you stay here.

Erlang -san and I might not be able to explain the situation to the people who are brought here because of time constraints. We'll have to trouble you when the time comes. "

"… Okay …"

This kind of perfunctory consolation obviously did not have much of an effect. The young man was still exuding a gloomy aura as if mushrooms were growing at any moment. However, there was nothing Cha Na could do about it. He could only hold the young man's hand tightly again.

"Then, let's go."

The impromptu plan went unexpectedly well.

If one were to count it seriously, this should be the first time Cha Na fought together with someone, even though they had no intention of cooperating at all. However, they cooperated with each other so smoothly and smoothly.

Erlang's earpiece jack could accurately crush falling stones, and he could also use sound waves to shake open the ruins that unfortunately trapped the candidates. He could even use sound to determine the location of the person who needed help. This maximized Setsuna's efficiency as a transportation tool.

The two of them searched and rescued the candidates as they swept along the streets. Soon, they rescued most of the candidates with low mobility.

The golden-haired teenager's natural familiarity quickly calmed the tense atmosphere in the safe zone. Perhaps it was this orderly work that boosted the confidence of the remaining people. Not long after, some examinees who were good at transportation also partnered with each other and gradually joined in the rescue. In an instant, the streets around the giant machine were cleared.

Compared to the tense atmosphere in the other examination halls, this examination hall, which almost turned the robot raid into a harmonious post-disaster reconstruction, quickly attracted the attention of the monitoring room.

Mike pushed the goggles on the bridge of his nose and repeatedly checked the real-time projection several times. After confirming that he wasn't dizzy from old age, he instantly grabbed his sleepy old classmate beside him.

Up！！！

Eraser！！！”

Aizawa, who had been dozing off while watching the battle, opened his eyes impatiently. He knew his classmate's temperament well. "What's this time?

Which examinee is so gifted and talented that it inspires you to wanton … Ugh.\ "

Seeing Aizawa fall silent, Mike tapped the screen on the screen.

N tapped on the screen nervously. "Now, even Eraser can't find fault with it!

These

Guys' rescue awareness is not inferior to some newbies at all!

… Ah, maybe it's technical

knowledge

And method.

There's still room for improvement, but as long as it's good — Eraser, what are you doing?!!! "

Aizawa, who had quietly typed a series of codes on the keyboard, returned to his seat expressionlessly.

"Shut up, you're too noisy."

…

…

…

While the old classmates in the monitoring room were fighting among themselves, Setsuna had just arrived at the rooftop with her last target. The giant robot was still aimlessly wreaking havoc a hundred meters away, but as long as it didn't approach that area during the remaining time of the exam, it should be fine. So, she let go of the robot.

"Thanks for your hard work, Erlang -san."

It was probably the first time Erlang had used his personality so intensely. He looked a little tired, but he was in a good mood. "Just call me Xiangxiang.

You too, you're very good. "

It was always easy to build camaraderie when fighting together. Setsuna didn't feel conflicted and changed her way of addressing him. "Okay, Xiangxiang can also call me by my name."

While the girls were bonding with each other, the blonde boy, who had been ignored for a long time, came over and asked, "Are you two okay?"

After working together for more than ten minutes, Erlang's anger towards him dissipated a little. He nodded.

"You're doing well too. The atmosphere here is quite harmonious, even though we're all competitors."

She smiled helplessly, her usually cold eyes softening. "Anyway, the exam is coming soon. Let's go back to the ground and find a few robots in other streets to get some points —"

"— Behind you!!!!"

It was unknown which candidate on the rooftop had first noticed the strange movement, but it didn't matter.

Setsuna and Erlang both turned around. The robot, which had been wandering aimlessly a few streets away, seemed to have taken some kind of stimulant. It charged straight for the rooftop with a murderous aura, uprooting all the buildings in its way. In just a few moments of hesitation, the distance between the two sides had shortened by a third.

"Are those guys trying to kill us?!!"

In a moment of desperation, the teenager even forgot to use honorifics. He held onto the railing with both hands and looked at the approaching giant robot with a pale face. As the person in charge of regulating the atmosphere in the safe zone, he knew very well that even if he mobilized all the candidates who could be used as transportation, it would be impossible for them to retreat safely at such a speed.

"We're in big trouble."

He clenched his teeth and thought.

["This is Sunyoung. Those professional heroes probably think that it's normal for them to get hurt."]

Those words were still echoing in his ears.

["I … Should I go back and bring a few more here?"]

["I'll go with you."]

That fearlessness.

"I can't always … let girls be in the limelight."

He felt the electric current between his fingers flicker unconsciously. The surging current that seemed to want to break through the surface of his body raised his determination to fight. Indeed, the area had been cleared. Even if the electric current was released to the maximum, it wouldn't hurt any innocent people. But could they make it in time?

Even if they made it in time by jumping down, how could they land safely after releasing the electric current?

Or … Or …

"— Come with me."

A female voice suddenly sounded with a calming power. He hurriedly turned his head. The girl named Setsuna was standing beside him, looking in the same direction as him.

"Can you, can you catch me?"

"I don't know."

Setsuna said quietly. Her eyes were still staring at the approaching giant machine, but her voice was calm and honest. "I haven't tried. I can't be by your side when you discharge the electric current. The falling speed, the direction of the wind, the magnetic field formed by the electric current, any of these conditions can lead to errors in my calculation, so I don't know."

After she finished speaking, she slowly turned her gaze to the teenager.

"But I promise you, I will definitely catch you."

— In the capacity of a hero volunteer.

The teenager was silent. His facial muscles twitched unnaturally under the influence of his clenched teeth. Not sure if it was because of the huge pressure or the fear of battle, his voice was shattered by the approaching airflow. "I, I …"

"I …!"

"Remember this …"

As if he was forced to the extreme, he suddenly raised his voice while holding the hands.

"— My name is Shangming Electric!!"

Another gust of wind blew, and the two people at the railing disappeared in an instant.

…

…

…

Wind, light, electricity.

When the thunderous plasma ball exploded above the examination room, there was a moment of silence in the monitoring room. Principal Genjin shook his short legs and took the lead to speak with a smile. "Well, well, well, this year's enrollment is a bumper harvest."

"Well … It's just that one or two of them are so exaggerated. We'll have to trouble the healing girl again."

Midnight, who was sitting on the side, spoke casually. She glanced at the candidates lying on the ground in the examination room next door, who were suspected to have been crippled by her. Then, she looked at the candidates in the other examination room who were almost crippled by the other candidates. Her plump lips curled into a smile. "I have a feeling that this year is going to be very pleasant."

However, there were always people who sang a different tune. Aizawa's tone was still cold. "There are thousands of ways to do things that are more risky than this. It's unreasonable to the extreme … Those guys need to be corrected."

"Eraser, you're too serious. You should be more lenient with the freshmen."

Mike leaned his head over and patted the Spartan teacher beside him speechlessly. The teacher mercilessly avoided his hand and turned to walk towards the door. "… Where are you going?

As for the Healing Lady, I've just informed you. "

The footsteps that were heading towards the door paused for a moment, but they soon resumed moving forward. The sound of the door closing and the usual listless voice rang out at the same time, smashing into the floor of the monitoring room.

"— Shut up."

.

Mike wasn't lying. The healer had already arrived at the entrance of the battlefield when the Spartans in the control room were still watching the game of True Gentleman. At this moment, she tapped the ground with her small walking stick and walked step by step to the rooftop where everyone was gathered.

Setsuna held the Ascending Ringing in her arms and landed on the railing with ease. The previously pin-drop silence on the rooftop instantly erupted into cheers.

Erlang was the first to run up to her and give her a hug. "You guys scared the hell out of me!

Ascending Ringing too. I didn't expect you to do this … "Noticing Setsuna's mischievous gaze, Erlang blushed." That idiot was shouting so loudly just now. Everyone knows his name!

That's not the point!

The point is, are you guys okay? "

"Yes, yes."

Setsuna realized that if she continued to tease her new friend, she would probably fly into a rage out of humiliation. Putting down the limp body in her arms, Setsuna said, "I'm fine, but Ascending Ringing …"

Well … it was hard to say.

They all lowered their heads to look at Shang Ming, who had a dull expression on his face. His expression, which could be called mentally retarded, twisted his face into a mess. His hand was still repeating the monotonous action of giving a thumbs up. He looked like a patient who had just escaped from a mental hospital.

"…" After a few seconds of silence, Erlang asked in a low voice, "Will excessive discharge burn the brain?"

Setsuna silently turned her head to avoid Ascending Ringing's blank gaze. "I, I don't know …"

Amidst this deathly awkward silence, the healer girl made her appearance.

Rumor had it that the Healer Lady, who dared to fight with Mitu Kawa, was a kind woman in her sixties. She was as kind as her ability. She could be described as a Sunyoung's conscience. She handed out candies from her pocket as she walked slowly to Ascending Ringing, who was still in a daze.

"Chirp —"

After this extremely strange kiss, Princess Ascending Ringing finally came to her senses. "Eh?

What's wrong?

I just …! "

She finally connected with the reality in the last second of her memory. Ascending Ringing's dazed expression gradually turned into joy that was close to tears. He hurriedly turned around and pounced on Setsuna. "Little … Qian … Qi … Eh!!!"

"What are you trying to do?!!!"

Of course, this kind of unruly behavior with the intention of taking advantage of Er Lang naturally failed when he poked Er Lang's earphone plug. Cha Na pursed her lips and took two steps back, giving Er Lang the space to teach him a lesson. In the distance, the machinery that was about to turn into charcoal was exuding the unique smell of heated metal.

Behind her, the candidates were still excitedly discussing something. The clear blue sky was like a wash, which was very similar to her high mood at the moment.

She finally could not help but relax her tense nerves.
