As he said, a total of six paths were spread out.
Fron placed her hand on her chin and pondered.
“Which way should we go?”
“You shouldn’t go any way.”
I firmly denied, as I started walking.
None of the six paths were the correct answer.
To be precise, all the paths were filled with traps and monsters.
Therefore, my steps were directed towards,
The side.
I headed towards the wall where there was no path.
Samuel scoffed, looking bewildered.
“Can’t you even see properly? There’s no path there…….”
Samuel, who had been mumbling, couldn’t continue his words any further.
Why?
Thud-.
As I pushed a certain part of the wall surface, a small rectangular wall, just big enough for an adult male to pass through, began to rotate as if it were a lie.
This was the shortcut.
‘It’s a path that was created for the students who conquer the secret passage and return to the room at the end to use.’
I thought it would be used at this time.
I praised myself for including such a setting.
I looked at the rotating wall and turned around, beckoning.
“Follow me.”
The blank expressions on the students’ faces were quite funny.

“We’ve successfully cleared it.”
“……Can we even call this clearing it?”
Luna muttered as if she couldn’t believe it.
As she said, it was ambiguous to call it clearing.
Well, what do you think?
I made a satisfied smile and stared ahead.
A widely spread out space.
There was a single chest in front of it.
And in front of that, the words ‘1st place!’ were written in a clear font on a piece of paper.
It meant a present for 1st place.
The problem was that the 1st place wasn’t the students of the Imperial Academy, but the students of Sytan.
It was when I was sneering.
“By the way, what’s in that chest that you told us to come here for?”
Fron asked, staring at the chest.
“I don’t know either. This is my first time here too, so how would I know?”
“Hmm, that’s true.”
When I kept my mouth shut, Fron nodded as if he understood.
“Let’s just open the chest for now.”
I reached my hand out towards the chest.
Clank-.
As I opened the chest, the contents were revealed.
It was…….
“It looks quite unimpressive.”
Fron exclaimed as I was about to admire the artifact I had newly acquired.
However, it was something I couldn’t refute.
The thing that existed inside the chest.
“A water flask and a sandbag? What the hell are we supposed to do with something like that?”
“They have their uses.”
Well, not everything she said was wrong.
To briefly explain these artifacts, they could be considered improved versions of ‘sandbags’ and a ‘water flask.’
The sandbags were indeed useless in the current situation, but
“The sandbags may seem useless, but the water flask seems like it could be used effectively. And it doesn’t look like an ordinary water flask.”
“Even if the water flask isn’t ordinary, what are we going to use it for? Don’t we already have water flask we brought from the Demon Realm?”
She was being awfully nitpicky.
I narrowed my eyes at Fron, who was pecking at me.
Of course, the sandbags were trash.
I had no intention of denying that, but this water flask was more useful than any other artifact for us right now.
“Let’s open the lid of the water flask for a moment.”
This water flask was special.
Despite being only the size of an adult man’s fist, the amount of water it could hold easily exceeded 200 liters.
Glug, glug-.
As I tilted the water flask upside down, water began to pour out.
The students still looked indifferent.
However, when the water from the water flask started flowing endlessly, everyone’s eyes widened.
This should be enough.
“With just this water flask, there’s no need to take risks and wander outside to find water.”
“It is useful…….”
Fron acknowledged that it was a decent artifact but still looked displeased.
It wasn’t hard to understand.
This water flask and sandbags were artifacts created by the Imperial Academy to encourage their students to train harder.
So, there was no way they would be artifacts with lethal power.
Rather, it was Sytan who was strange for handing out artifacts meant for killing humans efficiently.
Swish-.
I packed the water flask and sandbags into my bag.
“We’ve taken what we need, so let’s head out. Before that, take some time to look around. This is where the battle will take place.”
Only then did the students begin to explore the Secret Realm.
After thoroughly examining the interior of the Secret Realm,
We exited the Secret Realm.
