by fnovelpia“You two. Stop right now.”
Elaric looks like he wants to embarrass me in some way.
“Huh?”
Ronika turns around and answers with an innocent look on her face, as if she already knows the answer.
The two people looked at each other.
Of course, the three Light Moon cadets who were with Elaric followed suit, and Fiona stood next to Ronica with a fierce expression of her own.
“Just you. Did you say we weren’t good enough?”
“Yes? Did you get stabbed at all?”
“What?… .”
However, this time, the situation did not go as Elaric wanted.
Rather than being discouraged, it’s a shameless attitude.
Elaric felt absurd.
How many people have treated themselves like this? Normally, in situations like this, it’s natural not to say anything or to apologize.
‘Are you going to come out like that? .’
I tried to just quietly apologize and move on, but I decided to change direction a little.
Elaric gave a stern warning.
“You. You’ve been acting so arrogant since the warlock incident, but do you really think you’ve become a hero because of something like that? Please go quietly. Otherwise, life will be difficult in the future.”
“Senior, are you jealous and sad that a commoner cadet seems to be showing off, so did you come to say such things? Ugh. It’s childish.”
“… Huh?”
This time I was speechless again.
Even though I said this, instead of being scared, I refuted it angrily.
What on earth is this?
Even if you have a sidekick called Hysterion, you cannot treat him carelessly. Because his family is one of the real powers of the central nobility.
So I didn’t understand. It’s like being surrounded by seniors of the 30th class and fighting against them.
That fearless appearance increasingly arouses anger.
“What does this mean from earlier?”
“I’m going to see all the strange kids. Do you know who you said this to?”
“Since it is considered stage 32, there is nothing to see, right?”
The Light Moon cadets immediately got angry and criticized Ronica’s attitude.
However, the opponent is Ronica.
There was no damage this time either.
Just with an innocent expression.
“So, you are surrounding the 32nd class of commoner cadets to intimidate and harass them because you don’t see anything? Ugh… It’s worse.”
He said angrily.
At this time, unbeknownst to anyone, Ronica’s mouth was slightly smiling.
Ronika already knows.
At least there is a group of people secretly gossiping about him at the training camp.
Even if you don’t want to hear it, you often end up listening to it.
But what should I do?
It’s the jealousy of narrow-minded people.
Ronica has already reached the state of liberation and feels sorry for them… .
is a mess.
I tried to get along a little while they were having a fight.
This is because the loss caused by increasing the game here is much greater over there.
That’s why Elaric’s face rotted even more.
I couldn’t understand it at first.
He is the son of a noble marquis and the heir of a noble family.
Everyone wants to look good on themselves.
So I didn’t like it.
I didn’t want to lose this argument.
Is there any need to really put pressure on that fearless nose right here?
“You’ve said everything!!-”
“Stop.”
chuck.
First, I stopped my colleague who was getting angry, looked Ronika in the eye, and spoke.
“What a threat. I said a simple fact, but I think you may be interpreting it too arbitrarily. Or do you have a sense of victimization?”
“So you stopped me for no reason?”
Anyway, Elaric is the leader of a huge clan.
If you want, you can bring someone to their knees with just your words… It doesn’t work here. Ronika is no slouch either.
Just looking at the conversation just now, it’s the same.
Instead of making me feel discouraged, it just makes me feel even more angry.
In that case, there would be a need to come forward.
After all, you are the best. All you have to do is to let people know the difference.
With your body, not your mouth.
“I haven’t even told you the business yet. I hope you don’t just stop and criticize me.”
“Really?”
“I propose to spar with you. I heard you use a sword, and I wanted to check how exaggerated your rumors were. If it’s true, you probably won’t avoid confrontation, right?”
“Dalian… It’s not bad. But do you plan to fight even though you returned the sword?”
“It doesn’t matter. Because martial arts is basic. Just being high is not enough. Proper movement can be seen better from the bare body than from the sword. Unlike us who received early education from a young age, you may not know.”
“Then let’s fight with our fists. but… It may hurt a little, but is it okay?”
Quick.
“… Do you really think I’m right?”
“Well”
“I don’t care about that, so come on! Today I will show you all your skills.”
The conversation is over.
All that remains is victory.
We took a stance facing each other.
In such a tense atmosphere, Ronica secretly glanced behind her.
He seemed to be conscious of something.
*
“Hmm?”
2nd Prince Acelus.
Immediately after meeting with Chalosi, I headed to the dormitory where the training center cadets were staying with the escort.
To meet a specific cadet in advance.
And then I saw it.
Four male cadets surrounding two female cadets.
“… What’s going on?”
I looked around for a while. Fortunately, I memorized the magic photo taken when I entered the training center while reading the training center information, so I was able to quickly figure out who it was.
Elarik.
Ronica.
Looking at the situation, it seemed like the two were at odds.
Soon, the two took up a boxing stance.
A battle of martial arts, not swords.
In this case, it is easier to determine the superiority of technology rather than mana.
Thanks to this, only Acelus was excited.
An opportunity to see the skills of two strong candidates.
“… I’m curious about this.”
Acelus continued to watch.
After a brief standoff.
Blame~
The fight has begun.
Pak!!
It starts with Ronica jumping and then slamming down the capital.
Elaric, who quickly blocked the attack, counterattacked by exchanging attacks and defense-
Sigh!
“Ugh!!”
Before that, Ronika’s fist hit his face.
Much faster than you think.
Embarrassed, Elaric waved his hands to widen the distance and lowered his posture to avenge the humiliation he had suffered earlier… … .
fault.
Whiing!!~
Baaaa!!-
“Ugh!!?”
What is it?
rotary drill.
Rather than hastily chasing the widening distance, Ronica prepared a lunge and flew like a cannon to collide.
A round kick with one foot followed by a landing.
puck!!
Then, one fist from each hand.
Bye!!
“K!!… This!!!!”
Elaric, who was busy trying to block the attack, became angry and put all his strength into a counterattack.
Swish~
It was a nice miss.
Even though she was at the same 4-star level, Ronica’s agility was exceptionally fast. No, even more than that, the moving method was very skillful.
To Ronica, it is a natural movement that she has learned through contact, but to others, it is shocking.
Swish!
Shush!~
“Why doesn’t it fit!!-”
puck!
“Hmph!?”
Elaric became more and more involved.
To begin with, he was in a similar state to Astradic. But now, even Astradic is being unilaterally defeated by Ronika.
Of course, there is no need to watch the game.
“Sleep!-”
Bah!!
puck!!
Babbabak!!
“Aaagh!!!”
As if she had been watching until now, Ronica began a one-sided beating.
Just with a nonchalant expression.
“Huh… .”
Acelus shed admiration.
The five-star guard knight who was watching with the prince also opened his mouth.
“That… Are the children’s skills?”
“I guess so… .”
No matter how you look at the match, Ronica wins.
Aselus quickly calculated this.
Venus leader.
Unyielding courage.
The cold expression he showed when fighting.
A force that is superior to anything you can imagine.
Crazy fighting skills even though they are 4 stars.
He is just a talented person who has everything.
That child needs to be caught somehow.
So much so that the appeasement plan of Elaric, the central noble faction, was thrown into the trash can.
but.
“What is it? Why is Elaric being pushed aside?”
“Eight!! What are you just looking at? Commoner cadets use violence without fear.”
“Knock that bitch down right now!!”
Elaric’s colleagues, who had been quietly watching, rushed in to interrupt the confrontation.
Rather than acknowledging the winner, it seemed like they were trying to pretend that the match never happened in the first place. Perhaps they will accuse him of committing a surprise attack or violence.
Of course, it did not go smoothly.
A blue-haired female cadet pointed a small wand while reciting a magic spell.
It seemed like he had noticed it in advance and memorized the spell.
If this continues, a fight will break out between the two groups.
If there is a conflict before the banquet you are leading, you become tired. In the end, the second prince winked at Howie and stepped forward, and Howie immediately threw the real sword.
“Everyone stop!!”
Sigh!
The sword plunged right between the two groups.
“Ugh!! Wow, suddenly a sword?”
“… Huh?”
The eyes of the two groups are focused on this place.
Now is the time to sort things out.
*
Ronica smiled brightly.
At their feet, Elaric was beaten and lying in a miserable state.
Perhaps because he had killed several people in the tower, this level of treatment felt very light. No, they were the ones who raised the stake and attacked in the first place.
There is no reason to show mercy.
Above all.
“Everyone stop!!”
The person watching this place intervened.
I knew it from the beginning. A person who looked tall at first glance was openly watching.
I heard the nigger nag me every day. Try to always use your mana to detect signs around you. That’s why I couldn’t have known.
Moreover, the man probably had a soul of seemingly honest convictions.
Orange and light blue.
Two gradients.
Senses enhanced by Soul Master. I trusted that feeling and accepted the win. I thought it would be okay since there was a witness watching in real time.
So I beat it to my heart’s content.
Even if things go wrong, it doesn’t matter.
Patron of Hysterion. That alone is the one who will ultimately lose if they fight until the end.
I don’t like fighting, though.
Because I have no intention of avoiding it.
It was going to happen at some point.
It is better to make it clearly engraved at this point. So as not to make a bad mistake again.
“Why do they fight so much!”
“Who are you?”
“I am the second prince, Acelus. I came here once when there was a lot of noise.”
“Gasp!!… Meet Your Royal Highness!!”
The Light Moon cadets who had been so energetic just now fell to their knees in shock.
Ronika waited a little.
And the moment Prince 2 looks this way.
“2Meet Your Highness the Prince. They threatened me because I was of low status and asked to spar, so the confrontation was a bit excessive. Sorry for causing a commotion.”
As I had learned during etiquette training, I quickly announced the situation by kneeling politely.
In other words, the player hit.
Don’t let them kiss you.
Fortunately, the prince was good at dealing with it.
“No!! We just!!-”
“Quiet!!”
When the Light Moon cadets tried to make excuses, the prince stopped them.
“I was watching everything. When sparring didn’t work, I think we all tried to rush in together… If you tell lies that are not true, you will be punished directly by your family. Now say what you wanted to say.”
He scared me with those words.
Even if they are excellent training camp cadets, they are still children. Everyone became a mixed bag.
Still, am I still a bastard?
Elaric stood up and calmly handled the situation to avoid danger.
“Sorry. It seems that there was a brief conflict with a junior and the sparring became excessive. I will take great care to ensure that the same thing does not happen in the future.”
The guy who said that looked quite unsightly, covered in dust.
so that.
‘… … ‘It won’t go over smoothly.’
I lowered my head while gritting my teeth internally.
The commotion did not spread further.
The brief incident has ended.
Since there would be no good for either of them if they escalated the matter now, the prince said he would turn a blind eye to it just this once and sent them away to get treatment.
“Cadet Ronica. I wanted to meet you.”
“Do you know me?”
The prince and Ronica were alone, leaving Fiona staring blankly behind them.
So the two of them… … .
*
I rested enough.
Now it’s time to return to my disciple.
Tadat!
[Pahaha!! Hurry and run more.]
The Atrot bug was bothering me by tearing and fiddling with its mane, but I just ignored it.
So a few minutes later.
“Black Aang~”
I can hear the excited voice of my disciple.
It seemed like he noticed me and waited for me out of love.
Width~
He hugged me like always and then placed me politely on his shoulder.
however… .
‘Who did you fight with?’
He stiffened his expression.
There are signs of a fight.
Looking at the dust on my clothes, it looked like I had rolled on the floor a few times. Did someone attack my student while I was away?
It’s probably not the same cadet. Because, except Medis, there is no one who can give Ronica trouble.
Then what about this trace… .
“Hehe. Actually, I sparred with a certain knight!”
‘article?’
“2He was the prince’s guard knight, but somehow I ended up getting violent.”
‘… ‘I want to hear more details.’
To summarize the disciple’s story, it is as follows.
A cadet named Elarik started an argument, so I lightly stomped on him with a sparring match, but the second prince appeared and mediated the situation, and they talked separately.
“I don’t know, but… For some reason, it seemed like he wanted to draw me into his power. He was the one who led this banquet in the first place.”
Wisely, the disciple realized the intention.
The second prince asked about the future and subtly suggested that he be interested in the position. Instead of answering, the disciple asked to spar with his guard knight.
As a justification for rejection while simultaneously increasing one’s own value.
Surprisingly, it was a real sword fight.
It is said that after receiving the sword, he did not use any aurors and only used a mixture of techniques as much as possible… The result was that they competed evenly and won by a narrow margin.
For reference, the opponent was a 5 star average.
“ Then the prince said that his thoughts were short and that he would come back with a better offer later and passed away. Ahem~ I did really well, right?”
‘then… Are you saying you fought a 5-star knight and won?’
“Yes! Compared to my experience fighting at the tower, it felt like it was worth doing. Now I have some sense of understanding the state.”
‘her. I didn’t have to worry.’
“Heehee.”
As expected, he is my student with good judgment.
He didn’t just refuse the prince’s offer, he sparred with the knight and embarrassed him. That wasn’t enough to recruit him.
It was a bold move that could be made because he knew his own value.
If it were me, I would have just given a short answer and left.
He even won.
Pokpok~
‘Good job.’
I pressed his cheek.
It turned out to be bigger than I thought.
“Kya!~ It tickles.”
But did you say Acelus?
After listening to the disciple’s story, Seongjeong seems to be a pretty good person.
Then there is no need to worry too much.
A disciple is someone who can see the color of the soul.
Let’s move on from this… .
‘What kind of guy was Elarik?’
‘Hmm~ Just a genius who was consumed by power? If it weren’t for that, he would have been a decent person.’
A no-brainer evaluation. An experience on this scale seems casual.
Good.
Afterwards, Ronica toured the castle with Fiona and joined Astradik and Lapis, who were exhausted, and they talked about what had happened before returning to their lodgings before evening.
Now, the identification of royal castles is over.
Caesar hid his power.
The second prince, who leads the banquet.
Elaric attacked Ronica.
There are about these three variables.
I hope the banquet ends without any problems.
*
Early the next morning.
“Ta-da~ Am I pretty?”
“You’re pretty.”
“Huhihi!~ I was praised by the black guy!”
Just like at the training center festival, the student, who had done his makeup, showed off his appearance dressed up beautifully.
“What about me?”
“… You’re okay too.”
Same goes for Fiona.
The guy who was groomed by Ronica showed off his cute appearance.
However, the clothes were actually more monotonous than expected and easy to move around in. This is because there is a schedule for sparring with senior warriors during the banquet.
Although it is a banquet for the purpose of exchange… .
The main event is a friendly match. It is a special benefit for aspiring warriors, and a kind of chatter for recruiters to find out about a talent’s skills.
Therefore, the banquet is enjoyed in a large hall and then moved to the stage set up where the gasa troupe trains so that they can spar separately.
“Are you ready?”
The guide outside the door asks.
It’s not long until the banquet starts.
The disciple responded energetically.
“Yes! It’s almost done.”
Everything is ready.
All that remains is the disciple’s journey.
“The end! Let’s go~”
“Yes!”
“Kang!!”
The three of us went out the door.
*
“… Let’s see if we can keep up the good work.”
Elaric.
After being humiliated by Ronica, he mobilized all of his connections until last night to set the record straight.
So, I muttered quietly before leaving the room.
Yesterday I let my guard down and lost, but in the end, I am the one receiving the spotlight on stage. Your hero cadet title will soon end.
Called.
Ronica lost the first match and grinned, saying she would win.
“I will never let you raise your head again.”
