翁公和媛媛在厨房里猛烈进出

From risking my life to simply enjoying my life as a student at a magical academy... this was my new world.

That was a fact I couldn\'t deny.

Going back to Earth...

I couldn\'t deny the fact that the thought always sat in the back of my head, ready to be used at any time.

However, for now, it bound to stay there, a hidden thought and ideal stuck in the backlog of my brain.

Of course, the scenario where I would have to make a choice between going back to Earth and staying in this world had popped into my head.

How could it not?

If I returned to earth, the fact was I would have left this world in exchange.

The me at the start of the transmigration, I would have easily said yes, as I couldn\'t give less of a shit about the people in this world... or the world itself, for that matter.

But... now, what would be the answer?

If I had been told, then I could return to Earth right now, but I have to make a decision in a minute... what would my answer be?

Sighing, I shook my head.

"I\'ll have an answer when the time comes..."

To be fair, if someone was given the option of staying in the regular, basic, and old world of Earth and staying in this cool new world filled with magic and other various things, the answer would be easy for a majority of people.

Leave for the world of magic, where you could quite literally become a wizard, swordsman, and hero.

You could gain magic powers... leaving behind the autonomous world of Earth.

Let me phrase it like this...

Would you rather work a 9-5 on Earth... or gain magic powers in a new and interesting world and become a hero?

Even millionaires, those with comfortable lives, would probably choose to transmigrate into a world of magic.

Infinite oppurtinites.

The answer should be quite easy... but I couldn\'t help but hesitate.

In my defense, I had a valid reason.

I had spent over sixteen years of my live on Earth, creating memories and building relationships... yet here, I had spent only six months.

But in those six months I had spent in this world, more things had happened than in the entire sixteen years I had spent on Earth.

I had never risked my life on Earth.

I had never skipped class on Earth...

Messing around with Raven and Zeng, making the autonomous school days fun with Jin and Han, and even having those text-message chats with Ruby every so often.

I had never... had this much fun on Earth.

On Earth... realistically, my existence didn\'t mean a thing.

If I died, the planet would keep spinning, and in the grand scheme of things, not a single thing would change or be affected.

Yet here... I had a purpose, a reason to live.

I had the power and knowledge to make an impact on this world.

If I had to give an answer right now...

It would be this world without a doubt.

But... who knows, things can change in the blink of an eye.

Looking at Han and Jin, filled with emotion and ambition to win this battle royale, I smiled.

"Alright... let\'s win."

Not wasting any more time, I signaled for the three of us to follow me.

The conversation between them right now would probably be useless information, and the barrier was closing in, so we had to go.

Heading deeper into the tunnel, the three of us navigated our way back to the center of the magic space through the rocky terrain.

Glancing at the map, I sighed before handing it to Jin.

Putting my hand in my pocket, I pulled out the last compass I had gained from looting before sitting down.

Sitting down criss-cross, I stared at Han and Jin before once again asking.

"This will be a three versus seven... are you sure you want to w-"

"YES."

Nodding my head with satisfaction, I let a grin creep onto my face.

When I first transmigrated, these boys did not care about a single thing, even studies, and often skipped class.

Yet now, they were different.

They were motivated, and not just because of the pressure of their parents.

The three of us had changed each other.

Manifesting a corrupted stick, I glanced at the map in Jin\'s hand before beginning to carve on the wall.

Ignoring the confused gazes of my teammates, I quickly made an exact map of the entire magic space on the wall with my stick.

I even marked the different terrains, such as forests, rivers, volcanos, and mountains.

Acting like my math teacher, I stood back and used my stick to gesture to various places on the map.

Pointing to the dead center of the map first, I made a small circle before explaining.

"We will stay in this tunnel until the barrier closes into this circle."

Seeming to realize something, Han raised his hand like a student... before quickly lowering it upon seeing Jin break into laughter.

" *PFFT* Are you going to call him Professor Ren next?"

Han asked, not paying any mind to Jin\'s remark.

"What if we don\'t fight them at all...we can just stay in this tunnel. The barriers will close in... and technically eliminate all of us at the same time, right? Then it would be a tie!"

Shaking my head, I replied, having already thought of this strategy.

Unfortunately, being in the barrier did not eliminate you immediately; instead, it slowly decreased your health.

"Think about it...they must have over a hundred healing potions. They eliminated over four hundred students, so they got all their loot."

That\'s why we couldn\'t just camp here in the tunnel until the barriers closed in, covering the entire map.
