episode_0029

Emily Sigma squatted in hallway number 5 on the first floor and wiped away tears.

When I came to Cheongryong, I came with determination. The military discipline here was well known even outside the academy.

But she overestimated herself. I thought I could endure it, but I couldn’t.

I want to drop out even now. I want to give up and just go to a shabby magic class in my hometown…

‘The only way for you to survive is to receive a Blue Dragon diploma.

In order for Chilpoon, who has nothing but magical talent and no sense or life, to survive!

‘I have no choice but to suppress others with my Blue Dragon diploma!’

Mother’s voice ringing in my ears. But Emily shook her head.

no. I can’t do this anymore. There is no romantic era anymore.

González has banned me from participating in the game, so my name will no longer be registered.

Now there’s nothing fun about the academy-

“What are you doing?”

A soft voice suddenly sounded. Emily lifted her head up.

Rose Water, a fourth grader and third place student, was leaning against the wall and looking at her.

“Seo… Senior!”

“Were you crying?”

“No!”

“Gonzales, that guy is such a wall and window.”

“No. It is natural that Mr. González was angry. I still haven’t learned the pressure method-”

After saying that, Emily closed her eyes tightly.

Wrong again…

But Rose just laughed and changed the topic.

“You seem to like the era of romance, huh?”

“No! Gonzales senior… No, as Gonzales said, there is no reason to be interested in a game that portrays our Blue Dragon as a below-average dormitory.”

“I’ve already done all the research. I ordered a bunch of models for your room.”

“Hmm… that is… ”

“It’s okay. You can tell me everything.”

After saying that, Rose continued to ask mind-boggling questions.

I heard it was difficult to find a model. How did you find it? What is your favorite model? Have you ever played a game? Have you ever thought about trying a different dorm?

Emily was hesitant at first, but soon started talking about alcohol.

As the atmosphere warmed up and the first year’s tension eased, Rose finally got to the point.

“Are you planning on participating in this dorm competition?”

“I want to participate… But a ban was issued at the third grade meeting.”

“Well. That might not work out that way. Rumors spread among the upperclassmen that a reunion would be convened and the ban would be revoked.”

“Really?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

There was no reason to believe anything Rose said. She did not provide any evidence of the rumors, and even if such rumors did spread, there was no guarantee that the ban would be lifted.

However, the pleasant conversation she had had with Rose so far, the joy of being respected by fourth-graders, and the feeling of betrayal at having peeked at information that only upper-graders knew, all caught up with Emily, who was already devastated.

“But you know, Emily… The ban was later lifted, but wouldn’t it be too vain if our Blue Dragon were disqualified because we applied too late?

“That’s right.”

“Emily. Would you like to apply?”

At those words, Emily regained her composure for a moment.

“Me?”

“I am very close with 4th grade student Summa Kum Laudayin Belamousin.

If it’s good for you, I can ask her to make you the champion of the Blue Dragon.”

“Champion… ”

“They say they will give you modeling rights as a reward. Don’t you want to ride it?”

Modeling. It was also modeled during the first year.

Emily’s heart pounded at the thought that her image would be forever recorded in the romantic era.

His unit card in the Romantic Era album seemed like it would allow him to endure the Blue Dragon’s military discipline.

“So, do you want to do it?”

beck. Rose immediately handed out the documents.

Emily wrote down her name, date of birth, and grade as if she were fascinated.

“Thank you. Then go in now. If everything goes well, I’ll contact you~”

“Okay.”

Emily stood there confused for a moment, then smiled and went into her room.

Rosewater smiled unpleasantly at the sight and climbed the stairs leading to the fourth floor.

Rose crossed the fourth floor hallway and stopped in front of a room.

She stared at the huge sword decorating the door and knocked lightly on the door.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me, Belamousin.”

A shameless introduction that doesn’t even mention his own name.

A full force of magic was felt behind the wall, and soon the ivy turned the doorknob.

Rose went inside and looked at the owner of the room.

Half oak tree spirit, leader of 20 martyrs, 4th consecutive Summa Kum Laude, 4th grade representative, Blue Dragon dormitory leader.

“Rose. Why did you come?”

“Have you heard of the game called Age of Romance?”

“Of course I’ve heard of that childish game, but I don’t think he came here to encourage me to try it.

I guess it’s about González’s ban.”

Rose recalled what she knew about Belamousin.

This guy is the grade representative, but he doesn’t have much interest in academy life.

I don’t have much interaction with the other 20 martyrs, and I haven’t participated in a duel since my second year.

While he was focusing on building connections with seniors in his alumni association, González was able to take control of the Blue Dragon.

then…

“Gonzales, don’t you think he’s being too outspoken these days?”

“Well. I have no idea. Although you like to get things done, you treat your seniors with respect.”

“He only says this with his mouth, but in reality he goes around acting like he is the powerful one?”

“Sure. Anyway, I have no desire to wear the armband at the Academy.

If Gonzalez wants an armband, I’ll give him one.”

“This armbanding will not end within the academy.”

At those words, the leaves on Belamousin’s head stirred.

“What do you mean?”

“Bella Moussin, if González defeats the student council, he will achieve an unprecedented feat.

I will become a class representative who defends the honor of Blue Dragon against the student council.

That will be a strong asset for Gonzalez even after graduation.”

Rose stopped talking here, gave Belamousin some time to think, and then continued speaking.

“Of course, it would be a great feat to brag about at the class reunion.

The fact that 20 first-year students came together and got one fifth-grader involved was a wonderful thing only within the academy… Even if you graduate and go out into society, it’s not something you can brag about, right?”

“If you make the ban your achievement as a grade representative, you can beat us… ”

A nod of understanding. However, after a while, he presented a counterargument with an expression that said he had no choice.

“But is there a way to stop the ban?

It has been the custom for decades for fourth graders to retreat to the second line in the second semester.

Besides, González has his own reasons, so if I try to intervene, I will only lose face.”

“How about like this?”

Rose bent down and whispered something into Belamousin’s ear.

The grade representative smiled after hearing the plan.

“It’s not bad. not bad.

So that means Emily can compete? There’s no need to win, right?”

“Well, it would be better to get eliminated in the first match, but if you win, you can attack González like that.”

“What if I make it to the finals but don’t win?”

“That case feels the worst from our perspective, but there’s nothing we can’t do.”

Belamousin nodded and then said.

“I understand. I think I’ll have a chance to meet Tungaroa tomorrow, so I’ll take advantage of that time.”

“Good. Then I’ll go see Emily.”

Just as Rose was about to open the door and go out, Belamousin’s voice was heard.

“Rose. Do you have any plans to work together after graduation?

I think combining your strategy and my connections will yield good results.”

“If this job goes well, let’s think about it.”

Rose, who came out after waving her hand, could barely hold back her ridicule.

what? Let’s work together? What about you?

no. Be patient, be patient. You are a useful person until you graduate, so you shouldn’t show it off from now on.

“Victory score 7 to 5! Senior Graven’s victory!

With this, the final is Graven vs. Sebek!”

A confident declaration from a first-year referee. Graven organized the models with a faint smile.

The rules for selecting Black Swan dormitory champions are clear.

Participants ranked from 1st to 16th in ranking order become preliminary participants.

Afterwards, through the group stage and final tournament, the final winner is selected as the representative.

Graven had 2 wins, 1 draw in the group stage, and 2 consecutive wins in the tournament, and was now approaching the finals.

“Graven.”

“Ah, Sebek.”

Graven turned and looked at his finals opponent, Sebek.

I was happy to play the final match with him, as I was a close friend with him personally.

“Let’s come back after dinner and play the final match. Let’s fight without regrets.”

“Sorry, but I will abstain.”

“Why? What happened? Then, even if the final match is postponed… ”

“No.”

Sebek shook his head.

“I have no choice but to admit it. That the crew you have assembled is overwhelmingly strong.”

“Still, you won’t know until you fight. Because I got lucky with the dice -”

“So, that’s the problem.”

Sebek calmly explained to the confused Graven.

“It’s a low probability, but I might beat you in the finals.

But that would literally just be a forced win by luck of the dice.

It should be you who goes to the finals, not me. Your crew is perfect.”

perfect?

Graven looked through his crew list.

Clearly, there was not a single bit of romance in this crew. A crew optimized only for victory.

But still…

“Perfection is an exaggeration. It’s just one answer I came up with.”

“Anyway, you’re stronger than me.”

“Yes. i get it. I will definitely come back victorious.”

————————————————– ———-

Sarah Knizia, the fourth-year Red Horse student representative and dormitory leader, flicked a quill over the application form.

It was actually obvious who to recommend for this mini cup.

Mina Karcic. Among the current Red Horse students, he is the son of a duke and an avid player of the romantic era.

She handed the completed application to her junior.

“Stay here.”

“Thank you, senior.”

Mina bows gracefully and leaves. Sarah urgently cleared her throat and stopped her.

“Hmm.”

“Yes?”

The first duke’s daughter tilts her head with mischievous eyes.

The second duke’s daughter, who felt like her stomach was exploding when she saw her like that.

‘You poor bitch! Our Duchy of Knizia and Duchy of Karsic are in a dispute over hunting grounds!

The counts under his command have already started fighting and there have been casualties!

In such a situation! ‘Don’t you know what it means for me to do you this favor?’

But I couldn’t say it out loud.

What would be the honor of the Knizia family if they boasted that recommending them as the dormitory champion for a gaming competition was a gesture of reconciliation?

So Sarah had no choice but to look at Mina with longing eyes. I hope you figure it out on your own.

It was Mina who broke the silent standoff. As she stretched and yawned, shedding any pretense of elegance, Sarah was hopeful that Mina’s boldness might be the solution to the problem.

‘Well, Sera, it’s not right for operative families to fight over the boundaries of hunting grounds.

Therefore, the Karsic family will make a bold decision to acknowledge all of your claims.’

But Mina instantly shattered Sarah’s delusions.

“If you don’t have anything to say, I’ll just leave!”

Mina turns around and walks away excitedly.

The class representative let out a sigh of frustration as she watched her admire the letter of recommendation while whistling.

Do I have no choice but to write a letter directly to the head of the Karsic family?
