Chapter 165
YuSung was the tests walking disaster.
When she heard he was headed to her territory, Hwang InYoung, the doll artisan, spoke to Kim JinSung with a blank expression. "We're ruined"
According to what they'd heard, he'd already blitzed his way through three territories. Not only that, but he'd left his team members on their base and was roaming around, hunting for keepsakes.
"It's still too early to give up!"
"Its a fight between a killer whale and a penguin, an anteater against an ant. No matter how hard a rabbit fights, it won't be able to beat a lazy lion. That's the rule of nature."
Although InYoung described their situation using hard-to-understand comparisons, it seemed JinSung hadn't understood anything.
"Still, I'm sure there's a way. YuSung was friendly with us when we were playing darts."
"He didn't play with us; he played with Kim EunAh. Haa- my orca. It was my masterpiece. I wonder if hell forgive us," InYoung said in a machine-like voice tone. Ah- she said as she took some keepsakes from her Pocket.
"I have an idea."
"What is it?"
"The cat is an independent animal, but a street cat makes allies in order to survive. Such cats offer tributes to the leader cat."
"So?"
Most of what InYoung said about animals had been learned watching anime, so they weren't trustworthy sources, but she often had really great ideas.
"Our plan is to offer him the keepsakes before we're invaded. We'll be able to protect our territory, and since the opponent values his time, we all will profit!"
JinSung wanted to question her.
Since Park SuHyun wasn't there, they were struggling to hold the territory, so being greedy with the keepsakes was dumb.
"You're saying that we should give the keepsakes to YuSung and protect the territory, right?"
JinSung fell into thought and soon spoke. "It isn't a bad idea"
The more he thought about the plan, the better it sounded.
"Right? Rather than losing everything, it is better to offer him the keepsakes. That way, we'll be able to maintain our ranking."
He was even starting to hear InYoung's voice as logic.
JinSung took InYoung's keepsakes and ran out of the castle.

He'd destroyed three territories by himself.
YuSung thought that three minutes would be enough to finish the next one.
To someone like YuSung, who'd one against the aces of the International Competition, facing normal students was too easy.
Most weren't even able to stop a single attack.
What surprised him were some students with mid-ranking scoresHwang InYoung and Kim JinSung.
"These are all of the keepsakes we have."
"We're going to give you everything we have. If you have any doubts, feel free to follow us to our territory. You can also check our Pockets."
To think that they'd offer their keepsakes before the fight even started.
"Are these?"
As YuSung looked at the keepsakes in confusion, JinSung spoke the words he'd prepared beforehand. "You can only hold one territory yourself, and you won't get any extra points by disqualifying us! So please, just take the keepsakes! Were giving you all we have."
"I would also like to ask you a question. You haven't forgotten about me, right? I'm the orca's mother."
JinSung made a desperate expression as he begged YuSung not to destroy them, and InYoung mentioned the orca while making a blank expression.
'Considering this test's rules, there's no need to unnecessarily disqualify them.'
There was no need to attack another team that already had a territory, and to YuSung, there was no point in facing a team that had already offered him their keepsakes.
'Not only that, but EunAh really likes the orca this girl made.'
After organizing his thoughts, YuSung accepted the keepsakes.
"Okay."
One side offered tributes and managed to survive, and the other ended up saving time. Thanks to the agreement, everyone ended up winning.

Starting from the Cloud Mountains, HaJin and the succubus led the army of undead and began advancing.
Although she wasn't a boss who specialized in fighting, she was still a rank 5 bosseven without using her charms, she was able to beat students with little difficulty.
Not only that, but the undead army that the Durahan led was getting keepsakes from all over the place.
On top of that, the skeletons were finding ones that students hadn't been able to find yet.
"Tap, tatatap."
"Oh, you've found a dragon's scales. Since we already found five, I'm sure that our master will be happy."
After the death knight became a Durahan, his intelligence increased. Thanks to that, the effectiveness of the army he led had gone up.
Even without Sumire's orders, they could execute simple strategies with no problem.
If they added keepsakes obtained by Sumire's offensive army and the combination of the Ju HaJin and Sumire, the number went up to 11.
That was about 30% of the keepsakes spread over the island. YuSung and Sumire had completely destroyed the balance of the exam.
* * * *
The three girls, Kim EunAh, Amy, and Renia, were still enjoying their tea time in the middle of the exam.
"I think I understand what you're talking about! It feels like putting a child on the water?"
"I don't know what it feels like at all." EunAh dismissed what they were saying.
Amy, who'd just been eating, spoke as she ate a cookie. "Mmmph. But still, I'm surprised. EunAh, there's someone you care about"
"But still! I believed! But he! Began to escape! And then a really big monster came up very close! And WHOOM!" Renia told a funny story.
"Those things usually start from two figures."
"A million?!"
EunAh told them about the rich persons world.
Although they all had different personalities and didn't seem to have anything in common, there didn't seem to be an end to how much they could talk.
The three women were having fun.
As they were getting more immersed in their conversation
[The exam has ended.]
A message announcing the end of the exam appeared in each one's Pocket. They'd really just played during the exam.
* * * *
[The exam has ended.]
[The results of the final exam of 'Nine Dragon's Island' will be revealed soon.]
1st - [Shin YuSung] [Lee ChaeHyun] [Min SungHyuk]
[Combined Score: 240]
2nd - [Sumire] [Lee SiWoo] [Ju HaJin]
[Combined Score: 210]
3rd - [Kim EunAh] [Amy] [Renia]
[Combined Score: 120]
The two first teams combined got 25 keepsakes.
If they add what Amy and Renia got, that accounted for 27. YuSung's party members had gotten about 90% of the keepsakes.
"I knew they were strong but to think that one party would monopolize all of the points"
It was understandable that HaeJung would be suffering from a severe headache. Despite that, Lin Xiao tossed out a joke. "Next time, we'll have to prepare at least 300."
HaeJung narrowed her eyes and glared at him, and he quickly added, "I'm sorry."
