The Author's POV

"...hmmmm"

Looking at the blueprints of the building through the holographic function of my tablet, I fell into deep thought.

It was already the next day, and today was the day that 'The massacre of Hollberg' event would start.

After running around the mansion all night yesterday, I finally managed to secure myself the blueprints of the building...and looking at them now, I couldn't help but think one thing.

Big.

The mansion was big.

...and when I mean big, I mean very big.

If we exclude all of the outside facilities, the mansion was about the size of a football stadium.

It had five levels, with the bottom level being a parking lot filled with multiple cars and the ground level being the place where the reception and dining hall were located.

The first and second floors were where the guest rooms were located, with the professors staying on the second floor and the students on the first floor.

The last floor had an outdoor swimming pool with training facilities that the students could use at any time of the day.

Though they weren't as advanced as the ones in the lock, they were still equipped with state-of-the-art equipment such as gravity rooms and training dummies.

Supporting my body with my arms on the table, I took a careful look at the blueprints of the building.

...I needed to carefully analyze all of the exits and entrance points of the building. Where the closest and furthest exits from my location were located as well as which areas were the most secure.

Pinching the hologram to zoom, I carefully looked at the layout of floors one to three.

The goal of the assassins was to will infiltrate the top three floors as well as the bottom floor.

...If I don't remember wrongly, at around 8:00 P.M. the assassins will infiltrate the mansion when the trip end dinner banquet was being held

Their plan was to attack each student as soon as they returned back from the dinner banquet. Meaning that by the time the banquet ended, the assassin's preparations were done.

The stronger assassins will attack the professors so that they could hold them back and prevent them from helping the students.

According to what I wrote in the novel, reinforcement will come exactly one hour after the attack, and it will be Donna who with her strength alongside another professor managed to singlehandedly kill most of the assassins on the second floor.

...so for one hour, the student's goal was to survive.

After one hour, most of the assassins would've been mostly killed by Donna who will then help Kevin and the rest.

Though I said the goal was to survive for one hour...It was easier said than done.

The assassins that attacked the students were ranked from to and were highly skilled and experienced.

This meant that even if the students fought against an assassin of the equivalent rank, there was a high chance they would still lose due to their lack of experience.

Fortunately for me, because no one knew about my strength, I could more or less quickly get rid of the people that were after me and surveil the situation carefully.

Now the real question was...

How do I proceed from then?

Do I silently get rid of some of the assassins or do I hide?
