by admin“Who will be the winner of this competition?”
First day of competition finals
I look forward to today’s game being a particularly interesting one.
Even though I was eliminated in the preliminaries, just seeing the skills of the good guys made me feel better.
Don’t you say it’s an experience?
“Honestly, I think the Duke’s daughter will win comfortably”
As expected, the opinion of the guy who was eliminated at the same time as me was not different from mine.
“It’s obvious~ To be honest, I’ve heard a lot of people say that she’s strong, but it’s hard to think that she can beat her!”
The Lumiere family is a famous magic family that is difficult for people in the Central Continent to know about.
The duke’s daughter who entered school this time is so talented that she defeated the ‘Chosen One’ and took the top spot in magic.
Just a rumor that he single-handedly defeated dozens of people at a retreat.
I don’t think the fluffy guy can win.
“It’s a pity~ If I had been lucky enough to meet someone else, I would have finished in a higher rank than I am now”
For a guy with a lot of rumors around him, it’s rare to find someone with real skills.
I even thought that maybe even if he fought me, he could just win.
“Still, I don’t think such an obvious match is that bad. Although the payout itself is small, you can definitely eat something”
“Did you also bet on the Duke’s daughter?”
It’s one of the things you can’t miss if you’re doing a competition like this.
Isn’t it a bet where you put money on who wins and loses?
Honestly, it’s a game where it’s obvious who will win, but it’s foolish not to bet.
“Wizards may be at a disadvantage compared to swordsmen, but isn’t there a difference in level?”
“If it’s too overwhelming, compatibility is meaningless”
I think it is very natural for the duke’s daughter to win.
We ended up talking about betting on how soon that black head would fall down.
“Honestly, 1 minute doesn’t make sense, so I’m expecting 3 minutes. If you collapse earlier than that, I’ll buy you a drink to console you for being eliminated from the preliminaries~”
“Oh~ Okay then, if I last more than 3 minutes, should I buy you a drink as a consolation?”
No matter what happens, that black-haired gisaeng brother will eventually get laid.
So we laid out expected scenarios for future competitions.
The story blossomed
Are you planning to drink alcohol with the money you won in a bet?
In the end, I don’t think I’ll end up begging for a penny.
I had no idea at the time
If I had known that every scenario of the competition would turn out this messily.
I wouldn’t have invested that much money on a bet.
~~~~~~
‘I was lucky’
Ella and Yuki said that the preliminaries they held were difficult because other guys joined the alliance, perhaps because of their popularity.
However, I guess the guys who competed in the preliminaries weren’t the ones with the best skills, and maybe they didn’t think they were strong compared to their reputation, so they didn’t band together and attack them.
They just secretly join the crowd, move around, and send them out of the stadium.
Even the guys who suddenly made a surprise attack secretly knocked them out one by one.
I survived until the end and was able to advance to the finals.
“I didn’t expect to see it right away like this?”
I tried to relax my body by lightly jumping and stretching.
I’m not in bad shape today
“Crowd… . Why don’t you just give up and go now without regrets?”
And, as if by a twist of fate, I didn’t know that my first opponent in the finals would be my former owner.
I briefly wondered if the goddess might have intervened, but I guess that’s unlikely.
Clara confidently twirls her wand with one hand and taunts.
You probably know that I am completely impervious to magic.
He still had a confident attitude, as if he didn’t care at all.
‘It’s actually good… .’
“Clara, I will really do my best to beat you in this match”
There must be another way to deal with me besides magic.
It doesn’t matter what it is, I plan on destroying it thoroughly anyway.
“You are probably the only person who speaks to me so shamelessly”
“Can you tell me honestly right now? This is my last request before hitting you”
“… You didn’t forget what you promised, right? I can’t speak!”
‘Oh, I don’t know~!’
Even if you cry and beg later, they won’t listen, really.
“Really? Then, when the number next to you runs out, I will listen carefully to what you say after the match.”
In the middle of the stadium, numbers 5… 4… 3 fall to the floor one by one.
Eventually, when all the numbers fall to the bottom and only Clara and I are left, that will be the start of the game.
It wasn’t long before all the numbers fell to the floor and disappeared.
“Burn up!”
The match began with the young lady’s powerful fire magic as a signal.
~~~~~~
“Strange! Strange! Strange! Strange! Strange!”
I feel like I’m going crazy
It can’t go on like this. Where did the plan go wrong?
Apparently, the barriers I had installed in various places did not work.
‘You can’t confine people like this!!’
This is the right moment, when you are most excited because it is the first game and you are most likely to let down your guard.
“Nothing! No! What happened?”
There was no way my plan could have passed on to someone else.
Because I basically don’t work with anyone.
Since I proceeded only with what I had created in my head, without a plan written down somewhere, the information would not have leaked out somewhere.
‘But they completely destroyed everything like this?’
I also confirmed that there was clearly no one there.
It would have been installed only in places within the academy where people would not visit.
When the time came to start operation, there was nothing left.
“If I stay like this, I’ll get caught… ! We have to go and activate it right now… .”
“Where are you going in such a hurry, Professor Garan?”
‘Professor Catherine? ‘How is she here?’
I never thought a professor called the Empress would come visit me.
When did it appear? Could it be that he knows all this and acts like this?
If that happens, the problem is not enough.
I am also confident that I have decent skills, but
But compared to her, it’s like new feet.
‘no… . ‘There’s nothing to panic, let’s respond leisurely’
Even if she said she knew my plan, it wouldn’t be a problem.
All the things the devil gives me are things that leave no evidence.
If I can put it into practice, it will be impossible for anyone to accuse me of being the culprit.
“Ahaha, isn’t this Professor Catherine? Of course I was on my way to the stadium”
“Ah, I see, but Professor Garan is going in the opposite direction?”
“Ahahaha I see, thank you. I guess I got confused because it wasn’t long after I took office here”
“This… . The academy grounds are larger than you think, so if you get lost, you may have to wander around for a while. I know the way, so follow me”
“Thank you very much for this. Thanks to you, I don’t have to wander around anymore”
Okay, since it’s already like this, let’s release them as soon as we get to the stadium.
While thinking about how to take advantage of the commotion and escape, Professor Catherine suddenly stopped in her tracks.
“By the way. Professor Garan”
“Yes, what happened… ? Kak!”
At the same time, she attacks my back at high speed and subdues me.
Because my magical power was suppressed along with my hands and feet, I was unable to use any strength.
“What are you doing, Professor Catherine?”
“How long have you been in cahoots with the devil and driven people to death?”
I tried to spit out a voice filled with resentment at the sudden action, but
She just lifted me with one hand and carried me as if she knew everything.
“What does that mean… ?”
“I know everything and have already secured the evidence. It was a very tight and frighteningly strong barrier. It’s a bonus to have an unpleasant vibe”
“Do you have any proof that I installed it? Are you saying it’s okay to drive people like this?”
“It’s no use pretending like you don’t know, Professor, we were already gathering evidence before the retreat”
~~~~~~
“The only person that comes to mind is him”
Professor Garan
All I can think of is that person who was a confidant of the devil who sacrificed countless people to the devil in order to save his sister.
Normally, he would stay quiet until the latter half of the academy, but then suddenly appear, so he doesn’t do anything in the middle of the first half.
‘But because history has changed’
Considering who was still in the academy, if the devil were to appear again the next time, as the goddess said, there was a high probability that Professor Garan would summon it.
