The Greatest Sinner

Bam.

"Magic Missile" hit exactly the target - the head of one of the Ogres. Of course, the power of this spell was not enough to kill the monster, but Evan was able to wound it. This was only possible because the "Awareness" of this spell was at the first stage. Otherwise, the Ogre wouldn't have even noticed that it was being attacked.

The monster was clearly unhappy with such impudence from some boy and it headed in his direction. The other contestants looked at Evan with pity. They didn't expect the strongest student to turn out to be a real fool. The Ogre wouldn't back Evan's off until it killed him, the young man would have to keep running. But, they didn't even realize they were the idiots, not Evan.

Whoosh.

Smiling, Evan ran to the nearest root next to him. He jumped from one place to another, and at one point, the group of three began to suspect something. Evan didn't run away from Ogre, but led him to the other students. He was determined to shake up their frozen fight, and this was the best way he thought he could do it.

Whoosh.

A few jumps later, Evan found himself on the same root as the other three contestants. The young man with the brown hair said loudly: "What are you up to! Why the hell are you bringing that Ogre here?"

They weren`t going to run away because they planned to chase Evan away. The guy thought Evan wouldn't want to mess with such a big team and would run away quickly to avoid trouble. But Evan had a different opinion about that.

"Why for? I'm just trying to win." Evan said calmly and the next moment there was an explosion.

Boom.

Saying this, Evan cast another "Magic Missile" and shot the young men under their feet. They reacted quickly and jumped up to save themselves from the shockwave, but the root couldn't defend itself.

"Good luck." Evan said with a smile on his face and immediately jumped onto another root.

"You, bitch!" Said a dark-haired girl, slowly falling down into the water.

By the way, Evan had chosen this team not because it was bigger, but because it was closer than the other two ones. Like Evan had said, his goal was to win, or rather to kill the Ogres. If the monsters knocked out the other contestants, Evan's chances would not increase, but rather decrease.

He needed to get the other contestants to fight, and to do that they had to be able to fight on water. One of the group had just the right spell. Evan remembered this man during the first stage while he was sitting quietly on a block of ice and watching the other contestants.

Whoosh.

The dark-haired girl`s "Warp" spun and at the same time the azure ring on her hand shone brightly. She decided to use her Magical Artifact to greatly enhance her spell - "Frosty Rush"

Whoosh.

A faint blue glow appeared around her hand, which gave off an incredible cold. The girl extended her palm toward the water, and the frosty currents headed toward her.

Crack.

A thick layer of ice quickly began to form on the water surface, thereby creating a comfortable platform to move on.

The three persons fell quietly onto it, but they had no time to look around.

Bam.

The Ogre was already close, he instantly swung his massive axe and hit it down on the icy platform.

"Damn! That's not enough!" The girl mouthed anxiously, and she cast her "Frosty Rush" again.

The ice platform began to grow rapidly, increasing the area in which to fight the Ogres. The girl was unhappy with the situation, since she had to spend a lot of mana just to avoid drowning.

<Fine>. Evan thought to himself and headed for the next team. He was pleased with the result: the platform had been created and now everyone could fight on the water. Evan was going to throw everyone he could into the water.

To his surprise, as soon as he looked in the direction of the two girls standing in the distance, they immediately ran away in different directions. Evan's plan was simple and clear to everyone, but no one wanted to participate in it voluntarily.

"Are we playing catch-up?" Evan said calmly and sped up sharply.

Evan leaped lightning fast along the roots quickly catching up with one of the girls running away.

"Get away from me! Better help those you`ve thrown into the water!" The girl shouted loudly, turning to Evan.

The young man smiled: "Of course I will, as soon as everyone's assembled!"

Whoosh.

Suddenly a green magic circle appeared next to the girl, and an ivy vine sprang from it.

The vine quickly wrapped itself around the girl's ankle, she was not prepared for such a development. The girl lost her balance and fell down. She tried to get up quickly and run on, but Evan was already there.

The young man leaned into her ear and whispered: "I've caught up with you."

Whoosh.

Evan kicked as hard as he could into the root, causing it to break off and fall down with the girl. The girl had no choice but to bounce off the root and jump onto the icy platform with the others. While Evan ran after her, one of the Ogres was already wounded. It was still a long way from being completely defeated, but it was a definite success.

While Evan was chasing the second girl, Chloe and Lars were discussing his actions.

Chloe calmly said: "Well, he`ll hardly dare to do it with us, this guy manages to surprise me every time I see him."

Lars looked at the wounded Ogre and muttered, "Evan certainly can't make us jump like that girl, but maybe we should do it ourselves."

"Аh? What do you mean?"

"Well, think about it. Evan's actions are certainly extravagant, but they make sense. What's more, his way has been effective. Just look at that Ogre, he's wounded and they'll kill him soon enough. But, a minute later the rest of the Ogres will get to them, in which case they won't stand a chance." Said Lars watching the students on the ice platform diligently trying to kill the monster.

"So, you're suggesting we go along with Evan to defeat the Ogres?"

Lars nodded confidently. He sincerely believed that the artificially situation created by Evan, was the best opportunity to defeat the Ogres. Any other way, no one would have dared to attack them.

It was one thing to be in the same situation to begin with, but it was quite another for some people to stay safe on the roots and for others to put themselves in danger, descending from them.

Chloe stared for a while at the approaching Ogres and at Evan, who had already caught up with the second girl and sent her down in the same way. Now there were only four people left on the roots- she, Lewis, Evan, and Enni, who was standing aside.

"Okay, I agree, even if we waste a lot of strength and mana because of this, it's still better than losing and not even making it to the finals."

The girl agreed and jumped to the bottom herself. Lars quickly followed her.
