As soon as Shirone jumped up, the iron bar tracked him down after transforming into a large parabola.

�So it�s impossible to escape this cycle even if I move up?�

As long as the participant did not fall to the ground, the Bridge That Cannot Be Crossed would continue to harass the participant until they either failed or got to the end.

�Keuk!�

The trap became harder to analyze than before due to a slope being created because of its parabola shape. Though, the presence of Mark was also a big burden on Shirone.

Sharelle grumbled frustratedly.

�Why is he doing such a reckless thing? If Mark is eliminated, he will be promoted. And not to mention, it�s really dangerous to teleport with someone else. You only do that in case of an emergency.��

Amy�s replied.

�That�s just who he is. He actually does the things other people only dream or talk about doing.�

�I know that Shirone is kind, but Mark even hired people to bother him.�

�Perhaps that is why he�s more��

She thought it a little strange that she understood Shirone�s intention.

�He wasn�t interested in the ranking from the beginning.�

�Shirone is not competing with anyone. His only goal is to become a mage. A person who is deadset on a goal does not really care about the process or what other people think. It doesn�t matter whether they�re first or last. All the things they do are in service of reaching said goal��

�And in his case, it�s to become great at magic.��

While Sharelle was lost in thought, Amy watched the struggling Shirone.

She knew Shirone had no luck this time.

�No one in the Intermediate class can cross level 10. It�s right to stop the exam here.�

All she could do was hope that Shirone would come back alive.

�AAAHH! AAAAAKK!�

Shirone was so focused on the traps that he couldn�t even hear Mark�s annoying screams.

�It�s getting more and more difficult.�

This was of course natural, however, the difficulty was so high that it now seemed like the iron bar was a huge worm-like parasite, instead of an object.

�It�s unpredictable.�

Mark�s scream disappeared around the time Shirone advanced 100 meters through the wriggling parasite.

Mark fainted with foam coming out from his mouth, but Shirone continued on with no care. He had already forgotten about him.

Focusing on one thing while thinking of the whole was similar to the Deviate Form of the Four Way Formation.

The instructors who were arguing and the students who were making a fuss a minute ago had all gone silent.
