The moment when Bodenov Scylla makes a cool-headed analysis.

Joo Yuri, who did not notice her gaze, quietly spoke.

“So… How about it?”

The person Joo Yuri was talking about was not Silas.

The last of the three people who came together.

A woman wearing glasses and a suit.

My affiliation, the team leader of . It was Uhamchi.

Across the street, he was also the boss of the rabbit beast ‘Toyakeng’.

“I see… ”

Woo Hamchi, the hamster owner, touched the hamster’s unique chubby cheeks and his eyes lit up.

The light that one feels when looking at a talented person emanated from her entire body.

“It certainly seems like blood can’t fool you.”

“… Huh?”

“Look at that flame.”

What Uhamchi was pointing to was Joo Na-yong, who is currently performing brilliantly.

Joo Na-yong, who came forward with the intention of showing Yoo Se-ha a great side, was already strong, but turned up even more intense heat.

A swirling firestorm.

Flames exploding.

A fire that erupts.

When he added [Yonghwa], which increases his amazing movements and overall physical ability, the opponent literally started hitting him without even using his sword.

Uhamchi continued his analysis while munching on sunflower seeds that he didn’t know where he got them from.

“Now Na-yong Joo’s opponent is a woman we are keeping an eye on within .”

A promising first-year student with the class.

He was a named rookie who was rumored to have seasoned skills and a unique and powerful Iaijutsu technique.

In fact, she was such a highly anticipated talent that even scouts came to recruit her.

But such great expectations had no meaning.

It’s not that she’s weak.

This phenomenon occurred because Joo Na-yong was so strong.

On the contrary, because he was strong to a certain extent, he was now breaking out in a cold sweat and countering Jun Na-yong’s fist with his sword.

“It’s been a few months since you entered school, so you’re learning [Unstoppable Running]… Considering that the intensity of the flame is strong, it seems that [Burning Flame] has also leveled up.”

“… … ”

Joo Yuri just said nothing…

He looked at Uhamchi with cold eyes.

As the atmosphere was getting worse, Bodenov Sylla tried to do something.

Uhamchi’s horse struck first and was quick to leave.

“Shoot! Oh my!”

Uhamchi let out an exclamation.

Joo Na-yong breaks the ground to finish.

Plant roots wrapped in fire grew from the floor and began to attack the opponent.

“Surely even [Yeomhwarim]?!”

Uhamchi was truly impressed.

I knew that Junayong was a class, but the accepted opinion was that it was virtually meaningless because he had no knowledge of [Natural Magic].

In fact, he is evaluated as a person without .

However, I just had to revise my assessment by the looks of it.

Uhamchi did not spare any praise after that.

Uhamchi, the team leader of , a specialized scouting team.

He was a person who rose to that position without any connections, solely through excellent analysis and judgment.

However, she had one fatal flaw.

In a way, it was the decisive reason why she did not receive a position higher than team leader.

The problem was that he couldn’t read the atmosphere well.

bang-!

In the end, Joo Yuri burst out the anger she had been building up.

Vodenov Sylla, who was sitting next to him, touched his forehead.

“… Uhamchi team leader?”

“… Take a picture?”

Joo Yuri barely raised the corners of her mouth.

A prominent blood vessel mark was carved into his forehead with anger.

“… The person I asked about is not my younger brother who fights well.”

Joo Yuri lowers her sunglasses.

Inside, shining green eyes that looked surprisingly similar to Joo Na-yong.

“It’s that guy.”

Joo Yuri is the one who came here himself.

A very beautiful gemstone with talent beyond rumor.

My cousin’s brother’s man competing at the same time.

It’s Yoo Se-ha.

Joo Yuri’s gaze is from beginning to end…

He was only looking at Yoo Se-ha.

*

“… … ”

Team leader Woo Hamchi pursed his lips at Joo Yuri’s explosive anger.

‘Huhmm.’

I sighed inwardly.

I realized my mistake too late.

Well, I brought up Joo Na-yong in front of Joo Yuri, not anyone else… I had a tendency to get angry.

‘but… ‘

Thanks to that action just now, Uhamchi was confident again.

‘The rumors were true.’

Joo Yuri goes beyond simply being hostile.

There are rumors that he has a sense of inferiority and anxiety towards Joo Na-yong.

The blood of is lacking in many ways.

And as you grow up, the difference becomes more and more noticeable.

I heard that even among the , words of distrust are slowly leaking out.

Uhamchi thought for a moment.

This is not just standing in the same line as Zhou Yu-ri, but I have to show it off to Joo Na-yong’s faction, even if it’s belated.

However, now I have decided to lay down as flat as possible and pray from the raging storm.

“Shoot. sorry. Because I have narrow vision… Please forgive me.”

“So what does that guy look like in your opinion?”

“… Take a picture?”

Wu Hamchi looked at Yu Se-ha, who was at the end of Zhou Yu-ri’s gaze.

Let’s recap the sparring match we had earlier.

‘Umm… ‘

He is definitely an excellent talent.

That is undoubtedly true.

The fearsome sword speed that penetrates the opponent’s blind spot in an instant and the ability to move quickly.

It’s great, but…

In Uhamchi’s opinion, that was all.

It didn’t feel like anything special.

‘I think it has too little versatility.’

Team leader Woo Hamchi’s evaluation is just B grade.

She thought he was an ordinary, notable hunter.

“Really? My insight is worse than I thought.”

“… Take a picture?”

Joo Yuri reacted in a slightly bewildered way.

“Would you like to make a bet with me?”

“Bet?”

“Yes, next 2nd match. It shows a scene that will surprise you. How about no?”

“… Take a picture? Yeah what… I will do it if you do.”

Joo Yuri smiled deeply.

‘… ‘Just B grade?’

Joo Yuri downgraded his evaluation of Wu Hamchi by one level.

I brought him here because I heard he had risen to team leader level due to his skills.

I never thought there would be no eyes for people like this.

I felt like I would have to put the plan to make him my own person on hold.

Because what she wants is a competent person, not an incompetent person.

Joo Yuri thought about Yoo Seha’s movements a moment ago.

‘I bet he didn’t even use 10% of his power.’

There are probably endless things hidden there.

This was the same thought as team leader Cho Seol-hwa.

In Zhou Yu-ri’s view, it is a brilliant gemstone that attracts attention.

It was a being that could become anything.

This was the same thought as Peng Jin-ah.

Joo Yuri looks at Yoo Se-ha at the same eye level as two outstanding people.

Although Zhou Yuri is not a legitimate successor with the proper blood like Zhou Na-yong, he is a challenger to the throne with the support of the .

From a young age, he saw many talented people, and it was Joo Yuri who had the insight to meet them.

If Joo Na-yong had the “queen’s sense” to instinctively understand a person’s inner self and judge whether or not he or she can be trusted…

Joo Yuri had the “queen’s insight” to recognize a person’s potential and craft it to make it shine even more.

To put it bluntly, the relationship between the two was not good at all.

They are wary of, reject, and dislike each other.

It’s just that I don’t pretend.

However, ironically, the talents of the two were more essential to the clan called than anything else.

“Ah, looks like it’s starting.”

Yoo Se-ha went down to Sarang-mi’s name.

After saying hello to the female cadet who was selected in the second round, we enter the competition.

*

10 minutes later.

“… … ”

Uhamchi looked blankly ahead.

Yoo Se-ha was seen winning cleanly.

When Yoo Se-ha held out his hand, the defeated woman blushed and grabbed his hand.

“What… How many are there… ”

“[Hardening Rock], [Rapid Healing], [Strong Endurance], [High Purity Bone Density], [Uncanny Strength], [Multiple Hits]… And judging by the skill with which he wields the sword, his [Swordsmanship] level must be at least level 8.”

“Well, that many?”

“Maybe there are more? And he probably didn’t use a single real special move.”

Joo Yuri crossed her arms and nodded.

As expected, his eyes were not wrong.

Yoo Se-ha’s excellence lies not only in his possession of various , but also in his judgment and operational ability to utilize each and every one of them in the right place.

‘… … ‘

Joo Yuri placed her hand over her heart.

A subtle thumping sound.

My heart was pounding with excitement.

My excitement did not stop at the discovery of a treasure that far exceeded my expectations.

‘A combination of overwhelming genius and the combat sense that demonstrates it at more than 100% in actual combat.’

Indeed, there was a reason for that to accept him as his exclusive disciple.

“… … ”

this.

Joo Yuri thought for a moment that she had made a mistake.

Old word, there was no need to think of that woman.

―Miss Wheal? I heard that Junayong is next to that child.

―… There seems to be some misunderstanding, but Joo Na-yong is unilaterally following me around.

-oh? is it so. Then it’s better. You, come to me.

Peng Jin-ah from the era, tilting her head at the suggestion.

-What does it mean?

-That’s literally it. If it were me, it would be your strength. I’ll let you use it in a more appropriate place. What do you want?

money? honor? man? armor? authority?

-Tell me anything. I can assure you that I have more than what Joo Na-yong is suggesting…

-I refuse.

―… … Why? What am I lacking?

To the question, Peng Jin-ah answered as if it was no big deal.

―I would rather have someone who understands my worth…

I like someone I can relax with when they’re next to me.

*

“… A useless memory… ”

Zhou Yuri frowned.

I even focused on Yoo Se-ha.

Originally, I just gave it to them.

The plan was to steal that child because they said he was going to die.

‘I changed my mind.’

I promised myself that I would not simply take it away, but keep it by my side.

Joo Yuri imagined a future with Yoo Seha by her side.

He dreamed of a future where he would become his own sword.

How reassuring will it be?

‘If Yoo Se-ha were next to me… ‘

You will be able to live up to it.

The expectations of my grandmother, the expectations of my relatives who wanted to raise me up.

‘… You have to do it.’

Joo Yuri clenched her fists.

‘I am the woman who will be queen.’

For that, outstanding talent was needed.

I needed someone I could say was mine.

And now…

In this place…

‘found.’

Zhou Yuri’s greed was clearly directed at Yu Se-ha.

“Sila?”

“Uh, huh?”

“You gave that to me, right?”

Even in words where the subject was omitted, Vodenov Sylla was quick to notice.

“Yes, I gave them a business card in [in-person class]. Maybe he didn’t throw it away due to his personality?”

“Okay, then, let’s talk about it.”

“… So fast?”

“The faster the better. don’t worry. Because I will tell you face to face.”

Be mine.

Be my sword.

In return, I will give you everything you want.

‘Even if that… ‘

Even if it’s me.

“I want you to join us in .”

* * *

The fast-paced test was soon approaching its end.

Currently, I was sharing swords with my opponent.

‘Isn’t it absurd to say that we are sharing?’

Because it was decided by sum of things.

Kang-!

A clear metallic sound was heard.

A sword spun in the air, piercing deep into the floor of the sparring hall.

“… … ”

I silently aimed my sword at the opponent.

It was a game that was decided less than a minute after it started.

It’s an overwhelming victory, but…

‘That’s probably because this guy didn’t respond properly.’

I looked at the other person without saying a word.

Raise both hands up and say, ‘Ahaha…’ ‘I saw a boy with a young face sweating coldly.

Not handsome, not ugly either…

He is a person with a vague impression that you will forget on the spot once you see him.

He is a man with no presence or characteristics.

At the same time, he was a person who seemed strangely harmless.

“… I lost, I lost.”

When he put the sword in, the boy said, ‘As expected, I’m no match for him…’ great.’ There was a level of flattery that was not excessive.

To someone who doesn’t know anything, it might seem like a moderately pleasant answer, but I know it well.

Everything I’m doing now is acting.

‘Looking like this gives me goosebumps.’

The ability to calculate and execute every single action.

It’s not named for nothing, right?

Soon the guy holds out his hand.

“Joe, it was a good match. Yoo Se-ha.”

This is our 4th win in a row.

“Do your best for the next match.”

“… … ”

I looked at the boy’s hand, which seemed like nothing special, like a street extra.

‘Kim Min Soo.’

1st year, mid-ranking warrior class.

However, his actual identity is a senior clan member of the crime clan .

‘at the same time… ‘

A man with a [unique ability] as deceptive as [Eyes of the Sky] in Gothra.

I looked at him blankly.
