The law of Fiction: Harem in the fiction world

"Hey, if you are not going to move soon, then I will have no choice but to leave you behind."

Liza tensed up as soon as she noticed that they had been surrounded by the beasts. The difficulty of this test was far above what a first-timer faces. She could not help but think of foul play when she saw the change.

Her team looked to be comprised of people who had entered the sanctuary for the first time today. It was sad to see that their first experience was going to be horrible.

Truly, Liza felt for them and she wanted to help them as well. But she was not about to lose her grade over helping these fools. If they were not going to move, then Liza would have to leave them to fend for herself.

"Yeah, yeah. I can see that you are not concerned about what happens to us. If you are that impatient then you should leave now."

Liza went quiet at the jab. Marvis had not held any of his sarcasm back when he had said those words. Even Yohan had felt his intention of being mean to Liza.

And if Yohan had noticed this, so had Liza. her face was beyond red at this point and her mouth opened and closed in a fish imitation. It was as funny as it was annoying but Liza soon snapped out of her daze.

"I can see when I am not needed somewhere. Good luck in finding your way around and achieving the given objective. But I must warn you. If I find the objective before you then I will withdraw your name from this group."

Both Marvis and Flora (the shy girl) looked taken aback by Liza's words. Yohan was surprised as well but he schooled his feature better than the other two did. It also helped that he was not too invested in getting a good grade when compared to the other two.

Tension rose in the air before Marvis finally snapped.

"Fine! Run away, you coward. Don't expect us to let you back into the group once we find the objective. Then you will be the one who will cry and we will celebrate."

Yohan could not help but feel like this was a competition between Marvis and Liza about who had the bigger ego. They both looked unwilling to back down.

For the first time, Yohan saw Liza show an angry and upset expression. She was even biting her lips in pure frustration but she does not say anything. That was the biggest shocking factor for Yohan.

'But then again, I don't know these people so I don't know what is normal for them. I should wisely keep my mouth shut and enjoy the show.'

On the other side, Flora looked on nervously as the other two threatened each other. She was worried about her grade as well as herself. And that was why she made a reckless decision to throw herself into the fight.

"H-Hey. We all are on the same side so why are we fighting like this? We should all calm down and think about how we can get a passing grade. I heard the one overlooking us this time is professor Diantha. Yohan can put in some nice words for us, right?"

Flora's eyes were begging Yohan to help her out. She also seemed to be the only one who remembered that this was a class and they were being graded for thier teamwork.

Unfortunately for her, she was barking up the wrong tree. None of the two people she was trying to appease to looked interested in her offer.

"I think I am going to pass this time. I work better solo and you all would just hinder my progress."

"Yeah right. As if you will be able to clear this test faster than I can. I bet I can beat you this time."

Yohan was amused to see the two big shots fight it out but he was also getting worried now. His attention was split between keeping an eye on these two and noticing the moment of the monsters around them.

There had been no sound coming from around them for a while now and it even seemed like the monsters were no longer there. Yohan could not help but find that suspicious and he decides to check this activity out.

"Hey man, what is going on? Do you want to take this test solo as well?"

Flora looked sick as she watched Yohan ignore her and the other people around him. All his attention was focused on the forest in front of him.

"Hey Yohan, listen to me….and he's gone. What the hell should we do now?"

Flora wondered, only to realize that she had been left all alone when she looked around. Both Marvis and Liza were gone already when she looked around. In the end, everyone went those separate ways without looking back.

All her hopes and desperation seemed to be going out of the window in a matter of seconds. She had the decision to make now.

"Well, fuck it. If you people don't need me, then I don't know you as well. I will find the grand prize all on my own and then you people will wish you had not forsaken me."

Flora calmed down once she was done being melodramatic. Now that everyone else had left, she finally began to notice how dangerous her situation was. And for some reason, it was also the time that the beasts decided to come out of their hiding.

The rustling of the bushes was what attracted Flora's attention and she quickly cut down the bushes. She could hear the monsters coming closer to her.

"W-Who are you? Are you friendly? Please don't kill me."

Flora preyed as she neared the source of the strange voice. It was one she did not recognize and she was pretty sure she recognized all the dangerous sounds already.

She half-preyed and half-hoped to get an easy target for the first time. But she was not sure if she would even survive this day.

*Clakkkkkkk*

The cry sounded in the forest and Flora froze before she started to run away. The huge monster ran after she and Flora felt tears hit her eyes. She could not believe she was stuck in such a situation.

"I cannot believe I thought that I was lucky to be paired with Marvis and Liza. Why are both of them selfish bastards? Would it kill you to help your poor classmate out?"

Flora was running so fast that she was not able to see the hole. It was only after she fell down the hold did she realize that something had happened and she was no longer being chased.

Instead, it was her leg that hurt, and the sharp pain brought Flora back to her senses. The cave she had fallen in was bright but moist. It was a perfect egg-laying spot and it was also here that Flora finally spotted that familiar golden glow.

"W-Wait! Isn't that the-"

Flora could not believe her good luck. She had managed to find the objective their team had been sent down here to take away. The small golden egg was finally in front of her eyes.

Now the only problem was how to reach it. And it was a big problem since the area between the egg and Flora was a giant hole.
