Looking at the empty classroom, Ayumu Aikawa sighed in disappointment.
They encountered many classrooms on their journey, and these
"No way, is it only in our class that someone has this?"
"Let's put that aside for now. How long have we been walking? The corridor isn't that big, is it?"
Hyoudou Issei's casual words, however, awakened Chang Yan.
"Everyone be careful, we might be lost."
"Huh? Lost? This is... no, it seems we really are lost."
"Now that you mention it... it seems that it really is true, the corridor isn't that long."
"So what should we do? Go back?"
"Let's not worry about that for now, let's rest for a bit and conserve our energy."
As he spoke, Chang Yan opened the door to the classroom next door and let everyone in, secretly tying a strand of his hair to the doorknob.
That was pulled out when Chang Yan was scratching his head earlier.
But it hurts so much!
After resting for a while, Itsuka Shido seemed to remember something and asked Chang Yan.
"Chang Yan, what did you mean when you said your Demon Eye can devour life?"
This question drew everyone's attention.
"Could it be a skill like life drain in a game?"
Hyodo Issei, a gamer who is an otaku, immediately made a connection to the content of the game.
"You really want to know?"
A subtle look in his eyes~~( ﹁ ﹁ ) ~~~
"Uh-huh."
Looking forward to it o(〃'▽'〃)o
"I'm not telling you, guess for yourselves."
Happy face
(The emoticons on the book site are really fun)
"Alright, we've rested enough, let's go."
Chang Yan touched the doorknob after opening the door.
The hair is still there.
The corridor remained dark, and after walking a while, there was another classroom, still without a class sign.
"Let me do it this time."
After saying something to everyone, Chang Yan stepped forward and touched the doorknob.
There is one hair.
"Now we can be sure that we've been going through a cycle, and every classroom we encounter is the same one. I previously got a hair wrapped around the doorknob, and now, look at what's in my hand?"
After showing everyone the hair on the doorknob, Chang Yan continued...
“It’s my hair. If you still don’t believe me, I think the traces we left during our rest should also be there.”
As Chang Yan spoke, he pushed open the door. Some of the chairs and tables inside had been pulled out, and the positions were exactly where everyone had been sitting when they rested.
"So, we've been going through a cycle all along?"
"What should we do? We can't break the window, and although there's moonlight, we can't see outside at all. Ugh, this is so annoying!"
Upon realizing they were stuck in a cycle, a sense of unease filled the room.
A beast called Despair lurks in the darkness, waiting for people to descend into madness and drag them into the abyss.
“You know, when I was a kid, I would think about a question when I was walking through mazes: a maze is just a bunch of walls blocking the way, so why can’t I just tear it down?”
As the power surged forth, the bright red cross-shaped magic circle reappeared in his eyes.
However, within that blood-red expanse, a wisp of black thread vanished in an instant, unnoticed by anyone.
"I don't like it. I prefer to just walk through the maze properly!"
He revealed that ferocious smile once again.
"Take this Ora Ora punch!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
The sound of fists hitting the wall echoed in the small corridor.
The beauty of violence constantly emerges in this space.
The boxing match lasted for about a minute, then stopped.
The wall remained silently standing there. The wormholes still stared blankly at the group, as if mocking their overestimation of their abilities.
"Failed?"
"hateful."
"I've said it before, I don't like mazes."
After saying this, he lightly tapped the wall.
Countless cracks suddenly appeared on the wall, and then, to everyone's astonishment, it shattered.
"gong-gong-gong!"
Behind that wall were four students, two boys and two girls. Their eyes were filled with shock.
"Um...who are you?"
"Like you, we are students trapped here. We are all in Class X of Year 1. What about you?"
"Um, I'm Yue Shui Xia Xin from Class Z, Year 1. Some of you are from Class Z, Year 1, and some are from Class Y. We were all getting ready for class when suddenly everything went black, and many people disappeared. We all suddenly appeared in a classroom. May I ask how you broke down this wall? Also, what happened to this student's eyes?"
Clearly, this person was terrified by the commonly known "annihilation eye".
"This is my magic eye. As for how I shattered this wall, it's simple, I shattered it with my fist."
Chang Yan answered Yue Shuixiaxin's question, but unexpectedly, he left the group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.
"What's wrong? Why are you so surprised?"
Yue Shuixia glanced at a female classmate wearing glasses behind her and slowly said...
"Actually, we tried to break down the wall too. But we couldn't even make a small hole... You're really strong, classmate."
"You flatter me. By the way, do you have any clues? We walked around there for ages before realizing we were walking in a loop, and we only decided to break down the wall because we had no other choice."
"We don't have any leads either. Oh, and I haven't introduced my companions yet."
As everyone introduced themselves, the line grew larger.
Natsumi Koshimizu is a martial artist, but he excels in combat techniques.
The girl with glasses is named Yuukawa Naoko; she's a magician. She was the one who just bombarded the wall with a fireball spell, but it had no effect whatsoever.
Another female classmate was named Yuukawa Nanako, who was Yuukawa Nanako's younger sister. According to her, she was her older sister's bodyguard, a knight.
Another male classmate, Ryo Endo, is a psychic. His ability is earth perception; his senses are enhanced whenever he stands on the ground.
When Chang Yan introduced himself, he only mentioned that his Demon Eye's ability was to enhance physical abilities. Upon hearing this, Yuukawa Naoko gave Chang Yan a deep look.
She simply wouldn't believe that what Chang Yan said was the true power of his Demon Eye.
Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Thirteenth Footstep
Magic eyes usually refer to eyes that possess magic and special powers.
The abilities of the Demon Eye typically cause various unusual phenomena to appear in the user's eyes.
The bright red cross-shaped magic circle manifested by the so-called "magic eye" is filled with ominous signs.
"No clues at all? Looks like it's just a simple maze. Let's continue dismantling this annoying thing. Issei, it's your turn this time."
"Hey, shall I do it?"
Hyoudou Issei, who was suddenly pointed at, looked surprised and seemed quite taken aback.
"Take turns to conserve your energy."
"Alright. The Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets."
“Boost”
“Boost”
“Boost”
"Is this about right?"
Crimson magic surged from Hyoudou Issei's body.
"Break it for me!"
The Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlet slammed heavily against the wall.
gong!
The wall shattered just like before.
"Ouch—that hurts a little."
Perhaps he used too much force, because Hyoudou Issei shook his hand.
"Is Is Cheng-san alright? Should I treat him?"
Seeing that Hyoudou Issei was in pain, Aisha rushed over.
"Wow, that's amazing! I didn't expect Hyoudou-kun to be so talented. But there's a corridor behind this wall, and there's not a single person there."
Although amazed by Hyoudou Issei's power, Koshimizu Natsuki was still slightly disappointed when he saw what happened next.
"No, there are people here. Legre, don't hide it, your little bit of magical fluctuations can't fool me."
The speaker was Yuukawa Naoko, who was looking into the shadows in the corridor.
"Oh, it's you, Naoko! You should have said so earlier. I was really scared when the wall suddenly broke down."
A flippant male voice came from the shadows. With a flicker of light and shadow, a man and a woman appeared.
In response to the man's words, Yuukawa Naoko adjusted her glasses and replied coldly.
"Don't call me Naoko, I don't know you."
"Don't be so heartless. We're still fellow seekers of truth. Oh, by the way, you're the one who broke down this wall."
Ignoring Yuukawa Naoko's icy tone, Legre asked her...
"It's not me, it's him."
He pointed at Hyoudou Issei.
"Oh, is that so? You're really impressive, young man. Ah, I forgot to introduce myself, how rude of me. I am Legre, a mage. This is my summoned creature, Daphne."
"Hello everyone, I am Daphne, a wind sprite. I am Lord Legre's summoned creature, please take care of me."
Danif bowed gracefully to everyone, just like a lady from a prominent family.
"Sister Daphne! You're here too."
Upon seeing Daphne's appearance, Yuukawa Nanako rushed over with a big smile, and Daphne caught her with a smile in return.
"Ugh, Nanako, really, how old are you and you're still like this."
"Alright, Nanako, don't cause too much trouble for others."
Seeing her younger sister in such a state, Yuukawa Naoko had no choice but to speak up and remind her.
