Reborn as a short-lived loli who can only live for three years

Something is wrong at the orphanage today.

The entire orphanage was shrouded in a huge barrier. Even though there was a heavy rain outside, the area below the barrier remained deathly silent.

Two high-level magicians were standing in front of the gate. They were talking in low voices and occasionally looked up at the clock on the tall building.

"Ding-ding-"

A long bell rang from the top floor, and the children ran into the classroom one after another. Soon the yard became empty.

The teacher stood in front of the podium, looking more lonely than ever.

"Classmates, you have been trained as assassins until now. Although it came as a surprise... now is the time for acceptance."

When these words were spoken, everyone present couldn't help but hold their breath, for they all knew what this meant.

"There are five beacons in the barrier. The time limit is two hours. When the fourth bell rings... the five people who hold the beacons and come to the statue of the dean will be alive."

Quiet.

After saying this, the teacher left the classroom.

The orphanage holds this kind of 'game' once a month, but this time it is obviously different from the past.

The reason is that the teacher did not distribute the amulet stones, which symbolize the qualification for the game, and if they are broken, you will be eliminated.

Without it, how can we 'eliminate' others...

Everyone knew the answer in silence.

……

"Shh-"

An imperceptible magic strikes the front row, instantly causing a small explosion, and the remaining smoke is instantly blown away by wind magic. The girl at the center of the explosion opens a transparent defensive barrier, anger gradually burning in her eyes.

But before she could find the person who attacked first, the people around her attacked her together. The classroom immediately turned into a small battlefield, with magic and blood alternating continuously.

This game is unusual, so the girl being attacked is recognized as the strongest person. Only by uniting to kill her first will you have a better chance of survival.

Those who did not join the battle took advantage of the chaos to rush out of the classroom and look for beacons hidden everywhere.

-

Soon, the classroom returned to silence, but the reason was not that the strongest girl had died, but... she had escaped.

Everyone looked at the hole drilled under the seat and hesitated.

The underground cave is only wide enough for one person to pass through. If you chase after her, it is hard to guarantee that you will not be attacked by the strongest person on the lower level. Moreover... the temporary solidarity has been broken after the girl escaped.

"boom--"

A new magical bombardment appeared again, and in the blink of an eye, the second round of fighting began in the classroom.

……

……

lower level.

The injured girl quickly shuttled through the empty corridor, as if she knew the route by heart. As she pushed open the old door of the stairwell, she saw a little girl as she wished.

The young girl sat lazily on the windowsill, dozing off with her head drooped, looking extremely comfortable.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, then stepped forward in a reproachful manner: "Evie! You skipped class again. Do you know how important it is that you missed out on?"

“…Wan Ye, you’re hurt.” Ivy opened his eyes, his lazy voice full of concern.

Wan Yexi sighed helplessly and could only gently hit her head.

"Hmm." Ivy shrank back, put away the sharp dagger beside him, and made room for Wan Yexi.

The two sat side by side on the windowsill. Wan Yexi repeated the rules that the teacher had taught her. After that, she held Ivy's small hand and said, "Ivy, I know you always deliberately eliminated early in the past, but I hope you can be serious this time. I want to live with you."

Ivy nodded: "Yes, I will."

A simple but serious answer.

Wan Ye Xi smiled relaxedly, all his previous worries gone.

"Do you have any idea?"

"The statue of the dean is in the center of the outdoor area, in the most conspicuous place. If you want to walk there safely, you must ensure that all threats have been eradicated."

"Hmm..." Wan Yexi nodded.

In this game, finding the beacon is not difficult, but the difficult part is snatching, occupying, and guarding it. You have to rush to the finish statue just before the bell rings. Arriving too early will make you a target of concentrated fire.

"There is a trap. There are five beacons, but there are six energy fluctuation points. There should be a fake beacon among them."

"Fake beacon?!" Wan Yexi stood up somewhat unexpectedly. She frowned immediately and quickly thought of a new plan.

"First, we need to grab at least two beacons to confirm their authenticity." Ivy tilted his head and thought for a moment, then added, "If you're unlucky, you need to grab three."

"Looks like I have to be a robber for once." Wan Yexi accepted it very quickly.

……

……

Corridor on the third floor of the bell tower.

The two of them kept approaching the activity room at the end. As they got closer, Wan Ye Xi sensed a strong energy fluctuation.

"There is indeed a beacon ahead. It's Ivy as expected."

Ivy followed Wan Yexi quietly, staring intently at the white paper in his hand. The paper looked ordinary to outsiders, but in Ivy's eyes it reflected something unusual.

"There are two people going upstairs from behind." Two approaching magical fluctuations appeared on the white paper.

Hearing this, Wan Yexi stopped and said, "You go get the beacon, I'll meet them."

Afterwards, the magic power of the fire element gathered in her hands and quickly transformed into a battle axe. Wan Yexi swung the axe forward, immediately creating a heat wave.

Unlike the high-profile Wan Ye Xi, Ivy walked silently to the door of the activity room and reached out to lock the door. Under the influence of magic, the lock gradually became illusory and transparent, then penetrated the handle and fell to the ground.

Pushing the door open, the first thing you see is an empty room, with transparent windows in the front and on the right, and a four-pointed star-shaped beacon in the middle of the room.

Ivy didn't rush to take it. Instead, he glanced at the white paper in his hand, and then fixed his gaze on the building opposite the window.

After their eyes met, the other party not only did not hide, but instead took the initiative to attack as if in provocation.

"Whoosh-"

A pitch-black magic bullet was fired from the opposite building, instantly shattering the window and leaving a bullet mark on the door.

Ivy just stared at the paper and dodged the bullet by gently turning sideways.

The next moment, the enemy launched more frequent shooting. Ivy remained calm. She moved to the left, stepped back, and moved to the side again... Unknowingly, she moved in front of the beacon. She stretched out her hand and squeezed it hard, and successfully got the four-pointed star!

It suddenly got dark outside the window, and dark shadows poured into the room like a fluid. Dense magic fluctuation points suddenly appeared on the paper.

This time, Ivy finally stopped staring at the paper in his hand and looked around with a calm gaze.

The dark shadows covered the ground like water, creating ripples everywhere.

Suddenly, a shadowy entity appeared in his peripheral vision. Ivy turned around abruptly, but one of his feet sank into the water surface of the shadow. He immediately lost balance and fell to the ground.

She quickly took out her dagger and blocked it in front of her.

The next moment, the shadow entity raised the scythe and swung it down!

The blades collided, creating violent sparks.
