The Villain's Story

I finished checking the supply bag given to us by Shield.

It contained all the things a supply bag should, A tent, food, water, and other necessary supplies you would need to survive.

Although it looked like it was the size of a school bag, It could contain a lot of stuff.

The tent too was just a black box with a button on it.

Upon pressing the button the tent would unravel itself pretty quickly.

The food was standard MRE, Although some students wouldn't like the taste, A single bag had enough nutrients to survive a whole week with a sedentary lifestyle.

On top of that the water bottles too, although looked small could contain an insane amount of water despite their small size.

About 50 liters of water is stored in a bottle that should only be able to contain half a liter and weighed only 5 kilograms.

And we had been given quite a lot of them.

The supplies were enough for us to survive 3 or 4 weeks, but the test was only for 5 days.

Weird, but I wasn't complaining.

My main concern is the plot that has changed.

If the original events outside the labyrinth have changed, I could expect the inside events to also change.

Problem?

I didn't know what the change would be.

The labyrinth excursion ended normally in the novel, however now?

Could there be a stampede? A super Op boss monster on one of the floors that shouldn't be there?

It could be that I was overthinking this, but it didn't hurt to prepare a little.

'I just hope it isn't very serious.'

I thought while wearing the bag over my back.

I could put it in my inventory however there was a reason I wasn't doing so.

In the original novel, Gary, who was the original first spatial mage faced some kind of disturbance with his affinity inside Labyrinths and dungeons.

He couldn't use any powers of the spacial element inside these places.

This was the reason I hadn't put the bag inside my inventory.

And also the reason why I was so worried.

If anything happened, I could just use Teleportation to run away, but if my situation was the same as his, even though I had a bit more understanding of the spatial element currently.

I would need to be prepared for everything, I would only try to put my Bag inside the spatial inventory only when I had confirmed I could still use my spatial affinity inside the labyrinth.

'I hope I can still use it in'.

"ATTENTION STUDENTS! THE PREPARATION TIME HAS ENDED, AND COME TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE LABYRINTH TOGETHER WITH YOUR TEAMS."

Interrupting me from my thoughts was the voice of the vice principal informing us that the time to prepare had ended.

Our team didn't converse and walked silently towards the dome-shaped building in the distance.

The labyrinth entrance was cave-like, and the dome-shaped binding was built just for some extra protection around the entrance.

It could handle the attacks of multiple A ranks, so it was quite durable.

And before I knew it, we reached the entrance point of the dome, which was a huge metal door, Another team had entered just before we entered, the door closed right after they entered, but we could still see the entrance.

It was completely dark, I didn't know why Shield didn't install some lighting, But damn that darkness has a good dramatic effect.

"Team Number?"

As we approached, An instructor wearing a white coat adorned with Shields Logo on the back greeted us and asked us our team number.

I answered for the team who still had an awkward atmosphere between them.

"Team 55."

"And who's the team leader?"

Hearing his words, I paused and thought.

'Wait we still haven't selected a team leader yet.'

The instructor, looking at my pause sighed and said.

"If not, I'll just register the strongest among you as the team leader or you can choose now."

Seeing the group not answer, I looked back at them and saw them all nod.

They weren't stupid at least, They knew it was normal for the strongest to be the leader in most cases, So all of them agreed without saying anything, even Kyle nodded although his expression was like he had eaten shit.

He was arrogant, but thank god he wasn't stupid as heck.

And like that, I was made the team leader of team 55.

And as the instructor pressed a button on the terminal in front of the door, the huge metallic door opened and he said.

"Good luck inside."

*

It was dark, and the group wouldn't be able to see anything if not for the flashlights attached to our suits.

Each Member was tense, Whether it be Alan, Alex, Sabrina, Amy, or Kyle.

Alan was experiencing this for the first time since coming into this world, He had yet to encounter real monsters, and Alex was nervous and uneasy due to someone else. Sabrina however maintained her composure much better than the wwW, Amy was scared and Kyle was p anxious.

They were moving with Alan and Alex, who were melee dealers in the front, with the others behind them as they were all range dealers.

The first floor of the labyrinth was a type of maze, in which they would have to find their way down to the next floor.

They were in a massive cave system that seemed to stretch countless miles.

If they wanted to find the entrance to the second floor.

They would have to get extremely lucky or have studied the guide given to them.

And thankfully they did, so they roughly knew the way.

-Tok-Tok.

The sound of their light footsteps was the only thing they could hear in this cave.

The sound was eerie, None of them spoke but thankfully they didn't have to be in this atmosphere for long.

For they encountered their first group of monsters.

"Kieek!"

Hearing the sound, Alan got into a stance and pointed his spear towards the creatures that had made this sound.

And it was the standard goblin, the most common monster except for slices in most RPGs.

There were five of them, the same number as the team. With their hideous green skin filled with warts and short stature, they glared at the group and lived their lips and raised their clubs.

They were wearing nothing but a dirty piece of cloth around their genitals and wielding wooden clubs.

"Kieek!"

"Kirk."

They seemed to be conversing with each other, however, Their 'prey' was also doing the same.

Amy readied her bow and was about to shoot it however she was stopped by Alan who said.

"Wait, let me take care of this."

And when he said that, before the group could retaliate and say 'We should do this together!' he ran towards the Goblins.

'kieek!"

The goblin at yh3 front shouted as it Saw Alan running before, It tried to raise its club to defend however Before it could do so a spear had already pierced its neck.

*Khk!*

The horrifying sound of a spear piercing through a neck rang out, and before the others could respond, Alan retrieved the spear and severed the head of the other goblin standing to the left side.

The third goblin, Who had regained some of its composure, jumped In the air toward Alan with its club raised high to attack his head.

Because of their short stature, if they wanted to land a critical hit on someone, the head would be the best choice and to do so they would need to jump, however, in this situation, the goblin made a mistake because the moment it jumped, it had limited its movement severely allowing Alan to balance himself in time and land a devastating kick to its face, Twisting its neck and ending its miserable life.

The other two goblins that had been left were scared out of their wits and had run a considerable distance away.

Too bad the goblins were running away in a single line.

Alan took the opportunity and launched his spear at a great speed toward the two running goblins.

*Shwing*

The sound of the spear ripping through the air was the sound the whole team heard, and after that, they heard the gut-wrenching sound of the spear piercing through the body of the first goblin through its spine and doing the same to the second goblin in front of it.

And as time slowly passed, The dead bodies of the goblins turned into blue light and this light was absorbed into the floor of the labyrinth, leaving nothing behind.

The group secretly rejoiced except for Alan.

'What is...this?'

Alan thought to himself in his mind as he picked up the spear.

After and during the fight, he was feeling something odd.

What should it be called?

...that in all honesty, although he felt nothing in killing monsters for the first time, He felt...dissatisfied during the fight.

And Disgusted when the other two goblins ran.
