Team[3]

Author's note: in the synopsis of the work it says fuck women and when I went to see the translation it said that Kayden would perform obscenities with them, but in reality, he wouldn't give a damn about their existence, sorry about that, I will understand perfectly if you want to abandon the work.

Meanwhile, Kayden communicated with his group. As they were with a large number of people, they began to have to be careful. Their last confrontation was against another group with five members, and they lost three members to lost spells.

As there were 20 of them and they didn't have any type of training together, they weren't able to give 100% of themselves.

"From now on, all combat mages must attack first. Next will be the melee attackers. We will do our clashes in rounds. After one gets tired, the other comes in." Their fights were also divided into small groups of four, with two melee and two ranged mages.

No one knew yet, but Kayden was preparing them to save as much strength as possible, because one time or another they would face a monster, someone capable of taking most of their limbs, and they wouldn't have time to find more limbs again.

As they moved, they saw a trio approaching them, apparently without any fear. This didn't feel good for Kayden. One of them also had golden hair and eyebrows of the same color, looking incredibly similar to Apollo.

"Do you have no honor? Look at the size of this group!" His voice was more focused on disbelief than any other feeling.

"We're within the rules," Kayden said, cracking a smile. It was always better to create a friend than an enemy. "Do you happen to want to join the team?" His question was answered with a laugh.

"Luan, exterminate them", the golden-haired boy said.

"Yes, Yours …"

"No," Luan, who was a knight carrying a giant sword, was interrupted before he could finish what he was saying.

"Sorry, Locke," his apology was accompanied by a bow, and it was clear who was the noble in this group. As soon as he took his sword from his back in a way that didn't even seem possible, the boy started running against the group.

"Team 3", with Kayden's order, one of their teams went out to fight the opponent. Quickly, two different types of flames were thrown at him, which didn't even take an expression off his face.

Fanning with his sword as if they were mere flies, all the spells collided with an immense mass of metal, rendering them useless. When they saw this, the melee attackers rushed towards their opponent.

They even managed to exchange a few decent blows, but every time the huge sword was swung, one of them would receive a large wound or broken limb. It seemed like an insurmountable iron wall.

Before anyone could react, the team's two attackers were simply eliminated from the test by a well-aimed blow from the immense sword. She simply reduced their defenses to zero and went over them to cut them in half.

"Tactic one", Kayden decided to opt for his technique against monsters. As soon as his command came out, the attackers retreated, and then dozens of spells began to rain down on the knight.

There were so many that his vision was blocked and his only alternative was to retreat and defend with his sword. Even with his immense sword, he received some medium-impact injuries. One of his legs was bleeding and his shoulder didn't look its best.

When he turned to see his opponents again, he saw his body being paralyzed and a shock ran through his body from his foot to the rest of his body. Before he could figure out what was happening, Kayden's katana came tearing towards his neck.

For a few milliseconds, he managed to tilt his body and evade his opponent's attack, but Kayden was alert and brought his blow down in a straight line, catching the knight's left arm.

His katana went deep into his opponent's muscles and almost cut off his arm. With a cry of pain, the knight hurriedly retreated. Kayden didn't pursue him either.

It was better not to lead your opponent into a dead end. If not, he would fight with all his might. This was a lesson that Kayden learned from the book "The Art of War". The problem was that his heart was racing like it hadn't been in a long time.

His greatest desire was to continue the fight and not care about the consequences.

"You coward, you have no honor at all," the knight shouted as soon as he recovered from the adrenaline. Kayden was already getting fed up with this noble honor.

"Honor is a benefit of the living. Do you want to continue?" His sentence caused a vein to pop out in the knight's head, but he remained silent, he was no longer in a position to fight.

"Adam, you go now," the golden-haired boy said arrogantly. Unfortunately for him, someone interceded.

"Enough, Locke, you should use this test as training and not for your subordinates to do things for you", as soon as Apollo came out from where he was hiding, the three opponents were petrified.

"Sorry, brother, I'm going to leave now," Locke seemed to change his personality in a 360-degree turn and quickly tried to walk away.

"Wait," Locke healed the knight in an instant, surprising everyone. He had not demonstrated this level of skill before. "Before you leave, think about the phrase Kayden said, Locke, it will help you a lot in the future."

The boy nodded before starting to run in another direction with his two friends, it felt like he had seen his worst nightmare. When everyone was about to start asking what that was, Kayden spoke first.

"No questions asked, our team is just a win-win agreement, personal things are none of our business." With Kayden's sentence, silence prevailed among the teenagers. Everyone there were commoners and weren't even strong in combat, just average, well... average among the best.

Another hour passed and Kayden's group... doubled in size, reaching 40 members. Some were now nobles, but they were all minor nobles, and when they saw that Linus was recognized as one of them, they became quiet and just accepted Kayden's command.

If they knew he was nothing more than a simple commoner, they would never accept his command. Even with the reduction in the zone, the number of participants this time remained in the same range.

Logically, it was because the space was too big for the number of people at the time. In a few hours, it would shrink even further and battles would be inevitable. Kayden estimated that only the best 100,000 would move on to the next stages.

A few hours passed and Kayden's group reached the insane number of 100 people. Now, they didn't even need to fight. As soon as people came, they tried to run but were caught by the specialized speed assault team that Kayden put together.

The number of participants finally dropped to 1 million and the test diameter was at 40 kilometers. Now, it was possible to see a few people every few meters. Unfortunately, because Kayden's group was so large, they had no way of taking anyone by surprise.

In the meantime, they also faced a genius who managed to eliminate 15 members of their group. Considering they were in the 80s, this was completely unbelievable. He was a lightning mage specializing in area attacks.

Unfortunately, Kayden was unable to subdue him and he was eliminated when he was buried by nearly a hundred different attacks and was eventually removed from the test. Surely, in a normal year, this kid would have made it to the finals.

His talent was obvious to anyone who looked. Therefore, Kayden was sure that this battle royale had nothing to do with your final ranking, but with your performance.
