The troops of both empires heading towards the Academy had no stopping power.

And as they gradually got closer to the academy, the atmosphere in other countries and on the continent became increasingly sharp.

It was natural.

It was a clear fact that the landscape of the continent would change depending on what they would do.

I didn’t know that it might be the starting point of a war that would embroil the entire continent.

However, even in this situation, not everyone was convinced that war would break out.

Some people, and leaders of countries, predicted that war might not actually happen.

This was because I knew full well that war does not happen that easily.

Moreover, the opponent is the same empire.

When a war actually breaks out, it is impossible to crush the opponent with overwhelming force, and damage inevitably occurs.

It would be nice if it literally stopped at the level of damage, but it was more likely than not.

Even if you win, you will suffer great damage, and if you are unlucky, you may suffer damage that will shake the country.

If that happens, the empire itself becomes dangerous.

A wounded and weakened beast is no longer something to be afraid of.

That’s why, some thought.

That war won’t happen after all.

This is just some kind of show.

Some people thought that there would be talks along the way, and that the show would end after a certain amount of agreement had been reached.

However, contrary to their thoughts, the armies of both empires did not stop no matter how much time passed.

As time passed, the troops got closer and closer to the center of the continent, the academy, and when they came to their senses… … .

We reached Perdion, the city where the academy is located.

“… There was a real rush.”

Combat Department Professor Urt muttered with a somber expression.

“I guess… This might be more dangerous than you think.”

The person who received his words was magic professor Patrick.

These were two professors who rarely showed their emotions outwardly or showed signs of agitation, but their expressions were extremely serious right now.

The thought that war might really break out was hitting my head hard.

“… Please, I hope things don’t go in a bad direction… … .”

Both were opposed to war, so they did what they could to prevent it.

However, in the end, the situation could not be changed, and things came to this point.

The two could do nothing now but watch.

I really hope there won’t be a war.

***

Perdion, a large city surrounding the Academy.

And, the number of troops that appeared in Perdion was difficult to even count.

It was none other than the armies of Reinberg and Elbrend.

These are powers that can turn the continent into a sea of fire in an instant if they just move.

There was a confrontation on the plain next to Perdion.

The air over the plains was heavy, sharp, and stinging.

As if you could just light it, if the spark could catch it, it would burst into flames and burn everything down at any moment.

As if a single spark could cause a huge explosion.

The moment a spark appears here, it will quickly become an uncontrollable fire.

A fire that will burn the continent.

And in an atmosphere like a powder keg that could explode at any moment.

Two figures came to the front of each camp.

These were people who stood out among so many people and gave off a presence that you couldn’t help but pay attention to.

With Estelle von Reinberg, Princess of Reinberg.

The Crown Prince of Elvrent, Cairn Ra Elvrent.

They finally appeared.

Even in the face of an army that could easily devastate a country, their faces did not show the slightest tension.

No, beyond that, no emotions came to mind.

Should we say that he is the one who leads a huge empire, and who will lead it in the future?

Even though they had only recently become adults and were extremely young in a person’s entire life, Estelle and Cairn already possessed a personality that suited them.

As soon as the two appeared, the atmosphere surrounding them became even heavier.

It was because there was no way I didn’t know.

With just one gesture from their hands, a war could really break out.

Just like that, amid heightened tension.

Astel and Cairn looked at each other.

A dry look with no emotion.

Even though he was looking at the person who could become the enemy of Buldaecheon in the future, there was no trace of blood in his gaze.

However, the weight, the weight of the gaze, was heavy.

and.

The two began to approach each other as if they had made a promise to each other.

“… … !”

Those watching the two held their breath.

It is a situation where an innumerable enemy army falls just a stone’s throw away.

Moving forward in this situation could, with some exaggeration, be described as an act of suicide.

Estel and Cairn were said to have outstanding skills that stood out even in an academy where only bright students gathered, but that had no meaning in this situation.

However, there was no hesitation in their steps.

Everyone’s eyes widened when they saw that scene.

However, in the end, no one stopped the two.

No, it would be correct to say that I couldn’t do that.

I just quietly followed him and escorted him.

So, slowly, the distance between Estel and Cairn began to narrow.

It was by no means close, as it was a vast peace, but for those who knew how to use magic, it was actually not a very long distance.

So much so that you can cover it in an instant if you put your mind to it.

However, Estelle and Cairn were walking at a leisurely pace, as if they were out for a walk.

Because of that, the distance between the two never narrowed.

A seemingly distant time passes, reminiscent of eternity.

Finally, the two stopped walking.

“… … .”

“… … .”

With a distance of only a few steps, Estel and Cairn faced each other.

We stood still and just looked at each other.

How much time has passed in that state?

“If you want to make a tail, now is the time.”

Estelle was the first to speak.

She declared so in a calm tone.

As if this is the last mercy.

The majesty in that voice made the listener naturally bow his head.

However.

“I will return those words as they are.”

The opponent, Cairn, did not appear to be intimidated at all.

“If you are afraid of war breaking out. You can turn around right now. Then let me be generous.”

Cairn spoke confidently, facing Estelle’s gaze.

Prince.

The one who will become emperor in the future.

Cairn was still in a position where he was not worthy of the name emperor, but what emanated from his body was already the personality of a full-fledged emperor.

“I see. Do you really want to choose death?”

In response to Cairn’s reaction, Estelle calmly nodded.

“Then there’s nothing we can do.”

Estelle slowly turned around.

And, Cairn also turned around.

With this, the conversation ended.

Now there is no longer any conversation between the two or the two empires.

If Estelle and Cairn return to their respective camps like this, the war will begin from that moment.

A war that will greatly change the continent and its future.

That was the moment Estelle and Cairn took their steps.

Quang!

A man appeared with a loud noise.

***

“As expected, he was alive.”

Alan muttered as he looked at the man who suddenly appeared on the plain that would soon become the battlefield.

Alan was quietly watching the confrontation between the two armies from afar.

I tried to suppress my excitement and remain calm.

His expression was calm, but the entire time he was watching the scene, the man’s heart was pounding as if it was boiling, contrary to his expression.

It was rare.

He feels that level of emotional agitation.

After living for a long time, his emotions have become dull.

In the face of the passage of time, his heart became just a machine that maintained life.

Occasionally, when the plan went awry, appropriate ‘punishment’ was imposed, but it was not motivated by emotion.

I just did it because it was necessary.

Just like that, the man’s heart practically stopped.

However, the heart that had stopped was actually beating passionately for the first time in a long time.

It was because it was finally approaching.

A war between the two empires.

And, finally, when his dream comes true.

Neither the heavy, suffocating atmosphere nor the gazes of people watching the two people’s actions while holding their breath did not feel uncomfortable to him at all.

Rather, I liked it so much that I naturally smiled.

Estelle and Cairn finally faced each other, and when they finally turned their backs, a bright smile appeared on their faces.

However, as if breaking the pain of labor, an intruder intervened.

It was his first time seeing that face, but he recognized it right away.

What is the identity of the man?

“Wade Heblon.”

A variable he was wary of more than anything else.

A variable that could not be removed even though swords and swords were mobilized to remove it.

That variable, persistent and undying, appeared again to block his plan.

however.

Even in that situation.

His expression did not distort.

“It’s already too late.”

If we have come this far, there is no longer any way to prevent war.

Alan had that unwavering confidence.

“Go on, struggle ugly.”

There was a deep sense of anticipation along with a smile on his face.

I was so excited to see Wade struggle to prevent the war, and to see him despair after being unable to prevent the war.
