This is not a bi-talent sparring class taught in the cradle. It’s not even an end-of-semester exam.

Just a simple friendly match. It’s just an event that doesn’t require any sincerity or effort.

“… .”

But Luciel, from the moment he stepped into this training ground.

To be precise, since I encountered a junior named Deus in front of me.

I had erased everything from friendly matches and events from my mind.

‘I can’t breathe.’

I swallow my saliva. I almost grabbed my chest without realizing it.

Those aren’t the juniors I’ve seen before. They are not even students like you.

like… okay. Should I say that it feels like I am facing the teachers of the cradle?

‘… No, no. different. Even teachers can overcome this. This feeling right now… okay. Before mixing swords with my teacher. that’s right. That’s what it feels like.’

Luciel. Her teacher is Shabel, who is said to be the most talented person.

He is a person who is said to have no rival not only among monsters but also among those with the same abilities.

The strongest person and the person I am meeting for the first time today are placed on the same level.

I really think it’s stupid. Even though I keep telling myself that it doesn’t make sense.

Her intuition already recognized that junior named Deus as a top-level enemy.

take a step One step, two steps. I’m getting closer to that guy.

Every time I did that, the feeling that my whole body was being squeezed became more intense.

It’s so cold it gives me goosebumps. My whole body trembles with fear.

‘Hehehe.’

Even though he was nervous, a smile appeared on Luciel’s lips at some point.

After all, the empire. The Emperor has many blessings. Such great talent keeps coming out.

With Master. With many trustworthy seniors. Following the juniors who followed closely behind.

Now, even though he is a freshman, he has come out to be someone who can overtake most of the graduates!

“Luciel senior.”

Deus came forward and bowed his head in a polite tone.

“I am Deus, a newly enrolled first year student. Thank you very much.”

“… .”

Plus, he’s even polite. Why are there all these juniors?

If possible, I would like to quickly bring him to the detachment.

‘of course. I’ll have to take a test before that, though.’

Luciel responded to the greeting with a beautiful smile.

“I am. Please take care of me. Deus junior.”

Now that we’re facing each other so close, what I thought was a possibility turns into certainty.

Even though it radiates such transcendent momentum.

Even though I am putting so much pressure on myself to be called a genius.

In fact, the students around me didn’t seem to notice that at all.

‘Even the teachers are looking confused.’

I only feel myself facing Deus head-on, as an enemy.

What does this mean? That means that the freshman is in complete control of my momentum.

No, it goes beyond the level of control and can be hidden and shown at will.

It is the justified arrogance of the powerful who only show their true level to those who allow it.

I am even more amazed. And even more so, I am scared of that junior.

It’s still like that now, but if we grow more there. If you gain more experience.

How much stronger will it become? How much higher will it go?

“… Shall we begin?”

“Ready.”

Powerless. The arrogance of an unqualified person is a sin.

Powerful. The arrogance of those with qualifications is natural.

Therefore, Luciel followed the natural course. I was going to do my best.

―Sreung

Along with a clear sound, a flash of light erupts from the belt.

The moment the sword is lifted from Luciel’s hand, the noisy training hall becomes quiet.

From now on, I have to focus only on this match.

―Tuung!

Lightly hit the ground. The distance that seemed like 50 meters was shortened in an instant.

Do not allow space between the swords when the sword-holder is in front of you.

From an ordinary swordsman to a weapon expert.

A lesson that must be remembered when dealing with anyone who holds a sword.

Luciel turned it into nothing in the blink of an eye.

It’s already within the gap. Her sword went into perfect attack stance.

Aim for Deus’s head. Without any concerns or concerns.

-Wow!!

Wow!!

A roar fills the training hall. The students’ shouts follow.

Luciel turned around and took a step back. Between her lips.

“Kkeut… !”

A moan escapes me without my knowledge.

“… .”

I looked at my sword blankly. I look at the vibrating blade.

After that. I turn my attention to Deus, who is standing motionless in front of me.

It’s clear that he was the one who attacked first. The attack went as intended.

It wasn’t just an attack to test the liver, nor was it a meaningless exploratory battle.

How can it be that he is the one being pushed back so helplessly?

‘The route was perfect. Speed and power. There was nothing lacking. however. however… just now. ‘You blocked it with your arm?’

Does that make sense? Luciel quickly gathered his mind, which was about to waver.

This is the beginning. There are still many more left. Doubt comes next.

“… .”

Change your posture. This time, he let go of the attack and counterattacked.

Did he read Luciel’s true intentions? Did they willingly agree to join in?

“Hmm.”

come. What an incredible thing. A being like that mountain.

―Quaaang!!

“… !”

blocked. Definitely blocked. So we have to fight back. That was originally true.

But I couldn’t. I blocked it, but couldn’t counterattack.

no. It would be correct to say that I couldn’t do it. Because I didn’t have the capacity.

Ji-ing, my head rings. It was clearly the sword he was holding that met his fist.

The impact travels through both hands, through the arms, through the spine, and even shakes the bones.

‘this… Freshmen who have just entered school… .’

It’s absurd. Hahaha, I purse my lips and laugh.

And yet, Luciel’s body remains faithful. I was working on the next one.

A blow aimed at an empty torso.

It’s the right abdomen. If you continue like this, you will give up your liver.

That fact makes me feel dizzy and exhilarated at the same time.

As if aiming for the fatal neck. As expected, it targets fatal organs.

Each is aiming for each other’s vital points. It was literally a battle with all my heart.

The other person is doing their best just like you were!

―Kagagak!

The sword body and fist collided, and the sound it made was like metal clashing with iron.

Is this really the human body? Could it be a monster?

Luciel smiled involuntarily when he thought of such a foolish thought.

At the same time, he remembered something his teacher once said.

“Disciple. Do you think it is possible to have two special abilities?”

Of course I answered that it was impossible. Because there is no case where two abilities coexist.

This alone is too much for the body of a capable person to handle.

It is not for nothing that talented people are classified into superiors and inferiors based on their ability to handle special abilities.

Because it is not a simple manifestation, it must be followed by a lot of effort and training.

Can you handle two abilities at the same time? My body will explode right now.

“Yes. right. It’s impossible to control two abilities. No matter how hard you try. After all, we are humans.”

But her teacher. The empire’s most talented person. Sabel Saber seemed to have different thoughts.

“However, it is the second ability. That’s not entirely impossible.”

Master? Shabel smiled at Luciel’s question.

“It’s just that the approach is different. Transcendent durability that cannot be overcome even with existing abilities. Overwhelming body. If it was not achieved through special ability but was forged purely through effort.”

That’s exactly it. Isn’t this the second supernormal ability that our talented people have been waiting for so much?

That day, Shabel smiled and slowly stroked his student’s head.

‘At the time, I didn’t really understand what Master said. but… .’

But, for now. I think I finally understand what that meant.

no. I knew for sure. It seems like my teacher had already anticipated the appearance of such a being.

―Kwajik!!

“… !”

I could barely hold back a pain-filled moan from between my lips.

It was only for a moment, but my legs were shaking. I almost lost my balance.

Even though I have never allowed a single correct hit. Even though everything is properly blocked, it’s like this.

Damage is accumulating. It is a powerful force that can easily break through guards.

Luciel took a step back, caught his breath, and slowly lowered his sword.

Then, all kinds of reactions flow from all directions.

Some students have doubts. Some people have expressions of regret.

Someone else. ‘No way, that?’ He opens both his eyes.

There is one thing that people in the cradle sometimes misunderstand.

Because Luciel is in the sword club. Because he received great reviews for his swordsmanship.

People often think of her as a weapon type superpower.

But it was wrong. Luciel is not a weapon type.

Even teachers say that it is difficult to gauge the depth with just one sword.

In fact, it can be said that her special ability is far from that of a sword.

―… Shaaaa!!

A ray of pure white light seemed to emanate from the hand, and soon took the form of a sword.

Sword of Light. Looks like an angel descending from heaven.

Yes. Luciel’s special ability was none other than the Radiance series.

“Uuuuu! Seo, senior!?”

The host who knew Luciel well screams.

There are very few cases where she wields her sword while showing off her special abilities.

In other words, a strong will to squeeze everything out from now on.

The blazing sword of light is aimed at Deus.

But he didn’t mind. I wasn’t even the slightest bit embarrassed.

It was as if he knew it would turn out this way.

*

The real thing is finally here. Deus smiled broadly.

Luciel, the princess of the empire. That woman was clearly a very strong woman.

Her sword was definitely menacing and even changeable.

However, something was a little lacking. It felt like a piece of the puzzle was missing.

And right now. The piece finally fit together.

‘Good.’

There should be this level of tension. That way, the role of a gladiator other than Gummer won’t be unfair.

“I’m not surprised. Junior.”

“I had a rough guess.”

“Is that so? That’s amazing.”

Promising talent and genius. Genius and promising player. The two men and women looked at each other and smiled.

It was as if they made a promise that it would be soon. at the same time. Two strongmen collided in front.
