by fnovelpiaInfiltration of Caesar II.
After that, Lapis, Fiona, and Ronica walked around the banquet hall together, took a table, and ate while chatting about various things.
“Moon~”
A meaningless time. Bored, Myorin lay down on the pillow to kill time.
How long has it been like that?
“Please prepare everything. The friendly match stage will begin a little later!!”
“Cologne~”
The time when the sun has passed mid-sky.
I opened my eyes and woke up.
“Finally approved!”
“It wasn’t that fun.”
“But I look forward to a friendly match.”
The others quickly settled down and prepared to go out, and the host announced the news again.
“The friendly battle stage has been prepared, so aspiring Evelynn warriors and active warriors who wish to participate in the match should come out!”
The time for the friendly match has finally arrived.
Trudging~
Meanwhile, some of those who had formed a faction began to band together and move out.
Ronica’s group followed suit and moved to the training ground. Luxury tents and chairs that had been set up in advance were waiting for them.
I roughly took a seat and sat down.
Lapis – Ronica – Fiona.
I am on Ronica’s lap, who is sitting in the exact center.
Since the friendly match was held separately in a large training hall where the knights trained, each player was able to sit apart from each other in a free atmosphere.
Normally, it would have been normal to become friends with other senior warriors and nobles and sit together talking about various things about the future, but… .
feel empty.
The seat next to us was empty.
The three of us went together from beginning to end.
There were people who expressed their goodwill and greeted me, but they soon left me due to the attention of those around me.
But even for a moment.
“Excuse me.”
“Ah… Yes.”
Next to Lapis, a man with his face covered with a mask sat in the empty seat.
‘… Prince?’
‘It seems so.’
The man’s identity is 2 princes.
Even if I covered my face with a mask, I couldn’t hide it from Ronika and me.
But, what is happening?
There were no special seats prepared separately, so I just sat next to him with only one attendant.
It seemed like he was originally aiming for the seat next to Ronica, but since he was stuck between Lapis and Fiona, he seemed to be forced to sit next to Lapis.
… Is there a second prince after Caesar II?
I guess I have to acknowledge the royals for one thing. They are so diligent.
But wasn’t he planning on hiding his identity?
The second prince suddenly took off his mask.
“Gasp!? Wow, a prince!!-”
“Quiet. I don’t want wearing a mask to be a waste of effort.”
“… … Yes, yes.”
Lapis immediately closed her mouth.
The prince put his mask back on and looked ahead.
“No need to be formal. I just want to be with a great cadet, so don’t feel pressured.”
“Ah… .”
The host is currently drawing up the bracket.
With his eyes fixed on her, the prince suddenly started talking during the banquet.
“People are ignoring you. I found out that there was a strange rumor going around. Instead of being heroes, you are just spoiled cadets who stood up to their instructors.”
“Yes?… Oh no!! We-”
“It was such nonsense that I found out the truth.”
“… Yes?”
Lapis was about to refute immediately, but made a sullen expression at the prince’s unexpected words.
“It was Elaric Cadet’s doing… I wanted to ask. What do you think about this?”
Then he turned his head to Ronica. In that natural atmosphere, Lapis also followed Ronica without realizing it.
“… … To be precise, I think that is the purpose.”
Calm disciple.
Ronika pointed ahead.
The scene where the bracket is in full swing.
The first plate had the disciple’s name and the name of a warrior named Teloin engraved on it.
What does that mean?
I watched the conversation further.
“Are you saying the bracket was rigged? It must have been conducted in a lottery format… .”
“It’s just a case of heartache, but it’s entirely possible if the host cooperates as someone from the same Light Moon. And as far as I know, senior Teloin is the head of the 25th Light Moon and has been with Cadet Elaric since a while ago.”
“… How do you know that?”
“I am somewhat knowledgeable in information. It seems like Elaric is trying to block my performance and draw attention to himself… eww. It’s shallow.”
“… … You keep surprising me.”
I, too, was impressed while listening.
Once in a while, my student would communicate with Venus and ask her various questions, and it seemed like she had also memorized information about the Light Moon.
Usually, he smiles brightly and is lively, like he’s being naughty at me… .
Did you prepare everything knowingly or unknowingly?
After all, he is my disciple.
I’m proud!
However, from earlier, Lapis and Myorin were just turning their heads back and forth at the two people without understanding what was going on. This is because I didn’t know that the prince and Ronica had met yesterday.
Then.
The host conducted the competition.
“Thank you all for waiting! From now on, a meaningful friendly match between future talents and active-duty veterans begins. The cadets who stood out here were-”
This is a repetition of what we have already heard.
The host explained the rules once, and then placed the referee in the center.
The referee knight was the leader of the royal knights and was a 7-star fighter. He was in charge of preventing danger in advance and mediating the match.
While looking at the scene, the second prince frowned and spoke as if he had decided on something.
“If what you say is true, then as the person who led the event, you can’t pretend not to know. I’ll stop the game for a moment and investigate. And when the manipulation is revealed, Cadet Elarik… I’ll punish you as much as I can.”
After all, a disciple has eyes to see.
2nd Prince Acelus.
A guy who is utilitarian but also cares about his conscience. He is a good guy who is sure to get things done.
But the disciple refused.
“It’s okay. Senior Elaric just doesn’t know my strength. I’ll just tackle it head on. Please give punishment separately after the game.”
“… Hmm… … okay. You had strength beyond your age. Rather, it would be okay. If that’s the case, I won’t stop you.”
What the disciple chose was to attack head on. He said he would break through the stage set up by Elarik with his own strength.
There’s no problem.
Because Ronica is strong.
Even at 5 stars, as long as he is not at the pinnacle level or higher, he has a good chance of winning as an active warrior.
This is a guy who destroyed a duke’s family with his magic, experienced a fight with a god, and trained steadily. All those experiences remain in the body.
Even though it is a 4-star level, the skill itself is also much superior due to my influence and the awakened talent.
You probably won’t lose.
If anything, I can give you strength.
“Now the first friendly match begins. Evelyn Training Center 32nd Lonica cadets and Teloin level 4 warriors, please come forward.”
Sze-
The time has finally come.
The disciple stood up from his seat.
Friendly match.
Considering the difference in skill, the senior warrior matches the swords to the aspiring candidates in a guided sparring format and allows them to show off their skills… .
The game that will be played from now on has many intentions to water down the game from the first game.
Nevertheless, the disciple laughed as if it was fun.
‘Negro. ‘I can do my best, right?’
Obviously intending to win.
It’s a good ambition.
If you’re my disciple, you’ll have to do that much.
‘There is no need to hide your strength. ‘Because your hidden power alone is enough for me.’
‘Yes! Please watch my performance.’
The disciple moved forward.
I have entered the path of a warrior.
While drawing the sword of the storm that was provided to me in advance.
No need to worry.
I took the chair where my student was sitting and quietly watched.
“Myo~”
Myorin came next to me.
It seems like it’s more comfortable to be out there than Lapis.
Knock knock.
“Myo?”
I made him come back and used it as a back cushion. I like the fluffy texture.
“Myowong~”
Ready for viewing.
I enjoyed the stage comfortably.
*
Eat.
Elaric.
He laughed bitterly.
On the stage in front, the Teloin hero, head of the 25th Light Moon, who was close to her, was facing Ronica. Soon, the showdown between the two begins.
I didn’t intend to do something like this, but considering the humiliation of yesterday, I still can’t forgive.
Instead of showing off your skills.
It will be decided in a single decision.
Senior Teloin is a genius among geniuses who has reached the 5-star level in his early 20s. A successful warrior who will become his role model and future.
Although he lost to Ronica in an embarrassing way, he can’t even imagine losing to Teloin.
Besides, yesterday was a martial arts fight, not a sword fight.
If he had fought properly, he would have won.
Originally, I would have liked to have a direct sword fight, but unfortunately, since it was a friendly match with my senior, I couldn’t change that even if I used my power.
But it’s okay.
A stage watched by many powerful figures and active-duty veterans.
It would be quite a sight to see him get eliminated without showing any strength here. Maybe the warlock incident will be reexamined. In the end, he will be labeled as a spoiled child.
Because that’s what’s going to spread.
‘You are done now. ‘I’ll tell you what happens if a commoner dares to disrespect a noble.’
I looked at the stage triumphantly.
Ronika and Senior Telloin adjusted their swords, and the referee announced the start.
“Three, two, one. Start!!”
Tadat.
at las!!
As soon as it starts, senior Telloin rushes in.
however… .
“Summon Sylphy, ᚨᚷᛋᚨᚾ.”
Acceleration.
Hwiyung~
The Wind Blows.
Is it magic? When did you learn that?
But that’s okay. You can beat a 5 star hero with just that…
Whoosh!!
has disappeared.
In an instant, Ronica disappeared.
Senior Teloin swung his sword in the air without knowing what was going on, and surprisingly, Ronika appeared in the position where Teloin had first stood, with her sword slashed horizontally.
What… What did I just see?
“… what. In which gap?”
Sreuk~
Senior Telloin is embarrassed.
And the hair falling down.
“… … !!!?”
“Hmm? Did you see what just moved?”
“You can clearly see the cut hair.”
“No way! Was that just the move of a wannabe? I couldn’t see it at all!!”
Teloin’s eyes widened as his head became lighter.
Nobles wondering what was going on.
The warriors are shocked when they realize the situation.
Even the referee, who was supposed to mediate the situation, was looking at Ronika in a ridiculous way.
If only it had been real… .
Teloin’s senior is dead.
oh my god.
Is this possible?
Ronica smiled and turned around.
“Would you like to do more?”
“I, I!!… … I just let my guard down. I’ll teach you a proper move again.”
“Please take care of me.”
Still, there is still a showdown.
The referee also looks at me with wide eyes.
The proper match begins now.
Elaric clenched his fist and thought.
‘Obviously, Senior Telloin was just caught off guard. I’m sure it’ll be okay if we compete again-‘
fault!
Shuuuung!!!
rotary drill.
visor!!!!
“Ugh!!”
Ronica used a powerful charging technique. For some reason, senior Teloin had a hard time blocking it.
The force that accelerates acceleration.
The heaviness was felt here too.
The moment Ronica lands.
Shhh!!
Wow!!
The sword was swung.
At the same time, the wind blew.
No, numerous sword strikes made of wind rushed at Senior Telloin.
Sylphy Assistant.
Storm Sword – Wind Cut.
“What!!!
Chaejaejaeng!!
Shriek!!
Okay!!~
At first glance, as many as seven breezes swept through.
I struck out three with my sword and dodged two, but the remaining two skimmed through my clothes. It was even a deliberate blow that was scattered outwards to ensure safety.
visor!!
Whoosh~
Chajaeng!!~
fault!!
visor!!
The workshop that follows.
Ronika quickly circled around Teloin and swung her sword, and a breeze appeared in her wake and caught her attention.
If it’s just the wind… .
A power that cannot be ignored.
The countless waves of wind did not make up for the difference in level, but rather overwhelmed it. Doesn’t it seem as if several four-star swordsmen were rushing towards him?
‘Nonsense… … .’
I’m pushed.
No, it’s one-sided.
A 5-star level swordsman can’t even use his strength properly.
‘That’s ridiculous!!!’
Elaric shouted in frustration.
It was difficult for him to understand that the reason he lost yesterday was because of his martial arts skills, because he was careless, and because he was lucky.
It is a fight that cannot be compared to a fight fought with fists.
Grumbling.
Cold sweat flows.
The best talent at the training camp.
Future master warrior.
The one who always competed for second place.
In front of him, who was fascinated by such epithets, the young girl easily defeated them all. So overwhelming that everything falls apart.
You can never win this.
I can’t even catch up.
As time goes by, it will become stronger, and the gap will widen.
I feel like I’m facing a dizzying wall for the first time.
“Please get it right!!!”
“Well, isn’t that dangerous?”
Before we knew it, the game had reached its end.
Teloin, who was very angry at being toyed with, created a sword and swung it with all his might, and Ronica quickly retreated in a dangerous situation.
In the end, the referee tried to stop the car.
Whoosh!!
Ronica retreated far away and swung her sword in the empty air.
blowing in the wind.
The Storm Sword’s unique option is exactly the same as Wind Blast. In other words, if you add this power to the blowing wind, you can double the power.
That’s not all.
“What~”
Sylphy, invisible to others, brightly stretched out her hands and amplified the power of the wind.
Invisible speed.
A wind of incredible destructive power.
Kang!!!!
“Pfft!!!?!”
Teloin knocked the wind out of the air, but the hand holding the sword was thrown back by the strong impact.
The problem is not just one time.
Ronica continued to cast wind blows.
Whoosh!!
Sigh!!
An unexpected long-distance attack.
Speed and destructive power that cannot be ignored.
Kyaang!!
He quickly retrieved his sword and knocked out the wind. The handle of the sword slipped out of my hand.
Kang!!~
Fighting.
“Pfft!!!?”
Third hit.
In the end, the sword escaped my grasp and flew away.
“… … stop!! The game ends here.”
In silence, everyone’s mouths are wide open.
The referee came in.
He was holding Ronica’s wrist as if telling her to stop. If I were to blow the wind one more time here… Anyone can predict it.
In actual combat, he would die once again.
“… … I… Lost?… … … .”
Teloin muttered in vain.
I couldn’t understand.
Even though I hit him with all my might, I lost my sword due to the blow from a distance.
… It was a complete defeat.
‘It doesn’t make sense!!!!!!’
Elaric gritted his teeth and raised his eyes in anger. My two trembling fists were clenched so hard that they left bruises.
Is it possible to beat a 5-star knight?
Even the young girl he ignored.
It’s absurd.
However, a future is being drawn that one does not want to admit.
All attention will be focused on Ronika.
He was buried behind… .
No, I’m lucky if I don’t get scolded by my senior. I proudly said that I was a cadet with inflated skills, but I was met with a direct rebuttal.
Anger and resentment.
Annoying and absurd.
and… The fear that comes belatedly when you finally realize that you made a mistake.
Complex emotions appeared on his face.
Still, I couldn’t stop thinking.
The brakes are already broken. I continued to think dangerous thoughts with trembling eyes.
It can’t go on like this.
I need a different number.
