“Is he insane?” Rudeus was grinding his teeth, looking at the destruction that Nathan brought. He never thought he would wipe out half of the island at the start.
August frowned. He didn’t like the method, but this was actually another method they could take advantage of.
While Nathan had indeed destroyed half of the island, there was still the other half.
After seeing what happened to the other part, other students would definitely get angry as well. This would unite them even more.
Everyone would definitely think they had to eliminate Nathan first before they could do anything.
Rudeus, of course, understood the situation and would never let this opportunity slip away. If they could take down Nathan and Selena as quickly as possible, they still had the chance to win.
Nonetheless, Rudeus required some time to consolidate their rank, giving Nathan and Selena precious time for their next plan.
“Nathan. Are you serious about this? You do know that the students will hate you even more, right?” Selena asked with a poker face.
Nathan nodded. “I know. But even if I don’t do anything, what will happen?”
“…” Selena couldn’t answer that question since it was already clear from seeing the way other students treated them before the exam.
Even if they didn’t do anything, they would still target him. Hence, Nathan chose to take the initiative instead of becoming a pushover.
This was an indirect message, telling them that he was capable of doing insane things if they pushed him to the corner.
“Nathan. You should have consulted me first before doing something this reckless.” Selena sighed.
“Well, you’d probably try to stop me if you know about my plan.” Nathan looked away. “But yeah, my bad. This is too much.”
“I’m not talking about that. If you do something big like this, you won’t be the only one affected. I will also receive that backlash. If we’re talking about you and a family, it’s clear that there will be others who’ll also be affected.
“Their families might even try to pull them out because they don’t want to deal with the mess. That’s why discussion is necessary.”
Nathan scratched the back of his head, as he couldn’t refute those words. “Sorry.”
“Well, what has been done can’t be undone, so it’s better to continue with the plan. We have to get away from here as quickly as possible.”
“Before that, we need water.” Nathan nodded. “Can you use your Ena to form a huge bowl? Will the water leak?”
“Hmm?” Selena frowned.
She thought for a moment and tried to form a sphere with her Ena. After that, she erased the top part before scooping the water out of the small pond.
Unfortunately, carrying that amount of water was easier said than done.
Even in that single scoop, it still weighed a few tons.
The Ena became unstable due to the weight as the bowl fell apart.
“I don’t think so. Maybe I can do it in a smaller batch…” Selena shrank the size, which should be enough for them to drink. However, it wouldn’t be enough for washing their body or something else. “This is my limit.”
“Hmmm.” Nathan squinted his eyes, thinking, ‘The Ena is too realistic. If only this world were like a lot of novels out there where you can lift up tons of water so easily…’
Nathan let out a long sigh. Selena’s avatar was already quite solid, but that was still equal to a juvenile class alien.
Nathan thought for a moment before saying, “I need wood. A small piece of wood is fine.”
Selena casually snapped a tree and sent the trunk to him. “What do you need it for?”
“This.” Nathan grinned as he wrote down several words.
As Nathan moved away from his original spot, Rudeus had gathered a lot of people around them.
Using the cyclops to stand on a higher elevation for everyone to see, Rudeus shouted, “Do you think this is acceptable? He is trying to sabotage this entire event. What do you think he will do next?
“He will burn this side of the island. When that happens, we won’t have anything left. However, we have time. As long as we are united, we’ll be able to catch him.
“I have sent several of our friends to scout the area, making sure that they locate them and stop them from burning the entire island.
“Once the fire on the other side of the island is extinguished, they will definitely come to this side as well, so before that, let’s gather all the resources first. After that, we’ll crush them and make sure they regret doing such a thing.” free𝑤ebnovel.com
The majority of the students were just blindly following Rudeus’ propaganda. He took advantage of their anger to control them, but it didn’t mean much to some people who also aimed for the top spot.
Noticing their expression, Rudeus leaped back to the ground and circled his arm around the guy’s back. “Think about this. I know you’re trying to reach the top, but if you think about it carefully, you will notice it.
“They are insane people who can do everything. What if this is not an island but your homeland? Can you imagine him burning your field, destroying the people’s houses, and decimating all living things?
“Can you imagine your land being engulfed by a sea of fire?”
The guy’s body shuddered. The image in his mind was full of terror. People were screaming and crying as they saw the sea of fire approach them.
It was like hell descending upon them.
Other people imagined it as well, making them hate Nathan even more. That was right. What if Nathan did this to their homeland? His action was simply unforgivable.
As more and more people became angry, Rudeus smiled inwardly as it was the time for the next step. Sadly for him, Nathan wouldn’t let everything go his way.
“Not good! Not good!” A student returned to the camp, panting. His face went pale as he looked at Rudeus, full of anger.
“What’s wrong?” Rudeus frowned.
That student suddenly pointed his finger at Rudeus while shouting in anger. “Do you think being a prince can justify this action, Rudeus?”
