I Will Survive Till The End: Blood Extermination Academy-Chapter 26: Where Are We?

Darkness became everyone's companion.

Walking through the dark, everyone remained in knee-deep silence.

Levon's eyes stared at the darkness as if it were a proverbial canary.

His ears vibrated, when hearing a handful of people fall or trip others.

The path was completely pitch black and desolate and hollow—so hollow their footsteps echoed in their ears at least 3 times over.

Within the group, some continued walking on and avoiding troubles with ease.

However, others fumbled, but rose quick enough to follow.

In the end, a majority of people made it this far by not taking a bite from the foods Roud laid out.... This made them believe in doing whatever it was Levon and his group did.

So since these people walked, then they too will walk.

Whether you admit it or not, only by following the example of this group did they manage to survive until now.

If these people jumped, they too would jump.

If these people ducked, they too would suck.

Sadly, now in the dark, several people didn't couldn't follow as well as they wished, fumbling and falling over.

Then, Levon and a select few came to an abrupt halt, allowing some people to bump into them and even fall on their butts.

Eh? What's going on?

Why did these people stop?

Many were perplexed, but Levon narrowed his eyes dangerously.

'There's someone...'

As if on cue, a very cheerful voice bellowed from ahead.

It sounded like the voice of a 7-year old.

But that's impossible, right? What would such a small kid be doing in a place like this, alone?

That's too young, even for Levon's standards.

.

.

"Erm..." The little girl's voice was so cute and adorable. She seemed a little confused too, from her manner of speaking. "Welcome, everyone..."

"I'll be leading you to your Third Examination site. Remember to follow me very, very, very closely."

Many people blinked in doubt, wondering how they'll be able to follow her closely when they can't even see a thing.

However, in the dark, Levon stretched and bent, cracking his bones.

"Alright, everyone, get ready..." her soft voice bellowed out. "We leave now."

Forward MARCH.

Levon and Shugo jogged steadily, keeping up with the group.

Left, right, front, backwards—they ran along the path in the dark.

Some paths were shaped like the letter U, leading them a little backwards before deviating towards another path.

It seems running was a major factor for all tests.

Levon wasn't surprised by how long they ran in the darkness.

It took 1 hour for everyone to see a bright light at the end of the tunnel.

Raising a hand over his eyes, embracing the golden rays.

Looking around, he noticed they were missing at least 80 people from the group of 269.

Levon swirled the lollipop in his mouth thoughtfully.

'The missing group should still be running with the dark tunnels.'

The echoey tunnels could easily confuse anyone.

Although it was pitch black in there, Levon knew there were countless connecting paths and tunnels that led others to dead ends or other deceitful paths.

The echoes could also lead others astray, giving the illusion that the wrong path they took was right.

Shugo crunched on his snacks, others stood relaxed, while the majority, although tougher than the earlier weaklings, still had anxiety swelling in their hearts.

Levon chuckled.

'It feels good to see the sun.'

How long has it been? It feels like a millennium.

But—

Levon raised a brow, staring at the one who led them out.

Only now, did everyone get a good glimpse of the person leading them on.

It was a very cute little girl in pigtails and a black uniform.

'She's wearing the same uniform?'

Roud's uniform was lined with red stripes, just like this girl's.

Could it be Roud and this little girl were of equal strength?

RANK? Could it mean rank?

The corners of Levon's mouth twitched the more he observed.

It was amazing to see such a small little thing carrying a giant sword 4 times her size. The sword rested on her back.

Everyone here, including Levon, had damp foreheads from the shock.

"Well, then... that's it. I'm only to take you this far." The little girl spoke softly, with a hint of shyness.

AHHH~

Whose mother would be so cruel enough to leave such a cute baby out here with such a MEGA sword on her back?

Many times, swords resting on one's back, will be placed upfront so one can send a hand over their shoulders and grab the weapon's handle.

However, the little 7-year-old Loli had her sword sat upside down, with its handle at the bottom, and its blade pointing high up like a Pole.

Well, they had to admit that her hands were too short to stretch so high up and grab the sword's handle if placed upright.

Such a big and heavy sword... If it were them, can they even lift from the ground, talk less of running around with it?

Who Am I?

Where Am I?

What am I?

How come they were so worse off than a 7-year old little girl?

.

.

The little girl's presence caused a storm.

However, Levon's attention was focused on other matters—The TREES.

From the inclines from the many Tunnels earlier, Levon knew they were traveling upwards from the underground testing grounds they were in earlier.

Now, staring him in the face, was a massive piece of land that looked endless.

For as far out as his eyes could see, he couldn't see the end.

...It was so peculiar.

'Is it be scientifically modified to be this way?'

Everything before Levon, highlighted just how rich and powerful the people who took them in were.

WOW~

Others also exclaimed in unison.

"I must be dreaming right?"

Have you ever seen anything so magical?

The Forest was a realm of enchantment, a hidden endless sanctuary with a thriving nature.

"LOOK!"

Many pointed in bewilderment.

Towering trees stretched towards the skies, adorned with vibrant green moss that glistened like emeralds in the dappled sunlight.

"How can such a place exist?" blurted someone who was barely able to make it this far.

"Wipe! Is this land before the dinosaurs? Or else why should such a place exist so preserved?"

Many could hardly believe it.

Far over yonder, they could see many gigantic Tree Canopies.

These canopies formed natural cathedrals, filtering beams of light that danced playfully on the forest floors.

They spotted roses as tall as trees, with their thorns so big one could use them for a climb.

But amidst the beauty, their ears picked up a rumbling chaos brooding ahead.

"What Was That? I don't think any animal sounds like that."

Gluck! Gluck!~

Strange birds flocked away as the grounds rumbled.

Time seemed frozen in place, as fear quickly sealed their lips.

Again, they ask: What The Flipping Hell Was that?

Gulp~

Many swallowed loudly.

Understand that if... if they could feel slight vibrations this far, far out, then imagine what sort of animal could do such a thing.

First the strange spider, and now this place?

Many had true tears in their ears, but dared not cry.

The little Loli thinned her in an attempt to look serious.

Sadly, she was just too cute to pull that off.

"That tower... You're to reach the tower in 2—Oops.. I'm not supposed to tell you."

She quickly cupped her hands over her mouth, looking worried.

Well...

'It should be fine since I didn't specify whether it was 2 minutes, 2 hours or 2 months right?'

Maybe she meant to say 2 hours, 45 minutes... so... so how will they know?

The little Loli felt she was smart enough not to give out any major instructions just as requested of her.

'Sayoko, you're smart.'
