No one in the 30 thought they would be eliminated tomorrow.

No matter how the rankings of the senior class were decided, surprises do happen, and everyone had prepared a trump card to pass.

�A strategic alliance?�

In the garden behind the graduating class building, Binder, Suabi, and Luman were having a private conversation.

�okay.�You guys are utilitarians.�My suggestion wouldn�t be bad.�

Binder, who hosted the meeting, said while touching his horn-rimmed glasses.

He barely managed to pull up in class two, but he was an excellent theorist who received 100 points in theory in the advanced class and a perfect score in the senior class battery implementation evaluation without difficulty.

�As you know, I got perfect marks in all classes of basic magic.�However, it is true that there are no special advantages.�

Suabi and Luman also listened to the coldly analyzed words.

�But with your help, my balance could be your best weapon.�It means that if Suabi�s buff is focused only on me and Luman�s crowd control ability creates a situation, I can compete with anyone in my senior year.�

Elcrass Binder (20th place in the senior class final).

Major: A branch of magic analysis science.

Special note: Master of 36 types of prescribed magic designated by the association.

�Hmm, that makes sense.�

While Suabi took it positively, Luman snorted.

�Do you honestly think it makes sense?�That way, in the end, only you benefit.�If you go into high competition, the team will eventually break up.�

Luman had gained more weight from binge eating for a year, but his head was still spinning fast.

�Maybe it is.�So I�m going to make a suggestion.�If a situation arises in which one of the three of us has to drop out, I will be the first to give up.�

This time, Luman had no choice but to think a lot.

�Hmm, instead of monopolizing the utility, it seems that you will take the risk as well.�But how can I believe you?�

�There is no way to prove it.�You can write a side contract if you want, but even that won�t give you 100 percent confidence.�

�That�s right.�What if you hit the back of the head?�

�That will never happen, but then you will be branded a coward for the rest of your life.�Not a bad suggestion for you guys anyway.�The current contract is possible because each other�s shortcomings are perfectly complemented.�

Binder would be the only one in the senior class who would ask for utility even while claiming to be eliminated first.

�I will.�

Suabi raised her hand first.

�Out of the six events of the graduation exam, four events are affected by interpersonal combat power.�From my point of view as a utility, there is nothing to lose by working with Binder.�Because we are strong in the remaining two events.�

�If I add to that, it will be perfect.�

If Binder and Suabi had already made a decision, Luman would also drive them to maximize the synergy effect. JrNovels.com
