The competition will be divided into preliminary rounds and final rounds for each grade. As the number of cadets was large, the preliminary round was a battle royale in which a total of ten cadets entered one stadium and the last three who survived advanced.

When a total of 30 people advance first, the fallen cadets are gathered and divided into two teams, and a battle royale is held once again. Only one survivor from each team advances to the finals through the loser revival match.

On the other hand, the finals are the last straw.

In other words, it was conducted in a tournament format that lasted until a winner emerged.

The 32 finalists would face a randomly selected opponent one-on-one, and only the cadet who won the match could advance to the next round. Therefore, it was important to analyze each other quickly and come up with customized strategies.

In fact, the participants who advanced to the finals watched as many games as possible and did their best to gain information about their opponents. No matter how good your opponent’s manipulation skills are, there is nothing you can’t win if you develop a customized strategy through thorough analysis.

After repeated duels, the last person standing becomes the winner of the competition for each grade.

Once the competition winners for each grade are selected, a friendly match will be played before the awards ceremony.

The purpose was to teach juniors as a senior. It was a kind of tradition that arose because higher-ranking cadets had deeper learning and were often more capable than lower-ranking cadets.

Of course, it did not mean that the lower grades could never defeat the upper grades. Princess Seraphine, who is currently in her second year of school, won the first year’s championship in last year’s competition, and then achieved the feat of defeating all of the upper grades in a sparring match.

Although it was possible because Seraphina had already received the title of knight and was traveling around the battlefield at a young age, there were times when outstanding lower grades beat upper grades. Usually, such cadets became famous in some way after graduating from the academy.

Once the friendly matches are over, an awards ceremony will be held for the competitive matches. The winner of each grade will be awarded a medal and a reward, and the cadets who won the friendly competition will be listed on the academy’s list of past competitive winners.

Usually, most of them came from famous noble families or the imperial family, but there was one case where Maximilion, who currently leads a large mercenary guild, won the final championship as a commoner.

Meanwhile, the one receiving the most attention during this competitive match was the first-year division that Gilbert belonged to. It was the year that experienced the first-ever academy attack, and the main reason for interest was that the attack was prevented without any damage.

What kind of talent did the new students have that prevented the Resistance’s attack?

That curiosity caused a stir inside and outside the academy.

Naturally, interest in Gilbert, who was the center of the defense against the attack, began to peak.

The rumor that he, the famous Iron-Blooded Margrave and rumored to be a madman, had fended off as many as seven titanic soldiers with a single titanic weapon without any damage, was spreading throughout the empire.

There is also a new student who brilliantly blocked the attack by the idiot and the academy. It was inevitable that attention would be focused on the main character of the rumor that did not fit each other.

And the people in the Lithuanian territory were the most curious after hearing these rumors.

“Did you hear that? Well, they say that bastard knocked out all the resistance fighters who invaded Demiia Academy.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? How could that bastard.”

Commonly known as a bastard.

It was a word used as slang among the residents of the territory to refer to Gilbert. The residents of the territory, who suffered from his vicious personality, always used slang when talking about Gilbert. This was because there was an incident where a commoner who mentioned his name was dragged away and found dead.

“But it’s true. Wasn’t there an uproar in the territory that the imperial family had even awarded him a knighthood?”

“That was real? The world is coming to an end. A bastard is even awarded such an honorable title.”

“Even if he was a damn guy, you can’t fake blood. They say you achieved good results in the academy entrance mock competition.”

It wasn’t just the residents of the territory who were surprised by Gilbert’s performance.

Even from Gilbert’s family, the Earl of Hart, most people responded with disbelief. His family and employees, who watched him closer than anyone else, could never believe it, but when the count received the royal decree granting him the title of knight, they could not help but believe it.

Then the question went in a different direction.

How on earth did you become an article?

“What the hell. How did that bastard brother become a knight?”

“Lady! Be careful what you say. When the Count hears, he will scold me again.”

“I understand. I understand, but I have to say what I have to say. Honestly, don’t you think so too, Anna?”

“Miss Dorothy!”

Dorothy Flamma Hart.

Gilbert’s younger sister, an aspiring knight, could not believe that her bastard brother had been awarded the honorary knighthood.

To be honest, Gilbert was trash. This fact did not change even if she judged objectively, excluding her subjective judgment.

To be more precise, his abilities were insignificant, and he was full of bravado and vanity. The only thing worth looking at was his appearance, but he was a poor person who couldn’t use even that properly.

To Dorothy, Gilbert was an older brother who made her feel ashamed just because they shared the same blood.

However, as soon as he entered Demeia Academy, this guy who was so embarrassing to put on display began to commit unbelievable acts on a number of occasions.

It seemed like I won first place in the entrance mock competition, and then suddenly I heard that I had become the exclusive student of Briana Tefeo Malkirav, a renowned swordsman.

Dorothy, an aspiring knight and Brianna’s ardent fan, had no idea how surprised she was when she heard that Brianna, whom she had dreamed of in her dreams, had become her exclusive disciple and that her older brother had become her.

But now he successfully prevented an unprecedented attack on the academy and was awarded a knighthood?

Dorothy couldn’t understand it with her common sense.

“I can’t do it. I have to go this time.”

“Are you going? Are you saying you are going to Demeia Academy?”

“Okay. I need to take a look at that bastard brother. I was wondering how on earth they could do something so ridiculous.”

“Are you planning to go as the Count’s representative?”

“Yes. Because my father won’t leave here anyway.”

The Iron Blood Margrave never left his Lithuanian territory. Out of a sense of responsibility that something might happen while he was away, he had never left the territory since becoming the Margrave.

For that reason, Demeia Academy’s competitive games always featured the acting Count. Usually her second brother went instead of her first brother, but this time she decided to go herself.

“Now that I’ve said that, I have to go now. Your father is in the office, right?”

“Yes. As far as I know, yes.”

“I understand. Let’s go quickly.”

Dorothy headed to the office of the Count of Lithuania with her personal maid, Anna. When I asked to come in in front of the office, I was told to come in immediately.

“Dorothy, what brought you here?”

In response to the Count’s remark that he did not take his eyes off the documents he was processing despite the arrival of his daughter, Dorothy also hesitated and immediately revealed the reason she had come here.

“I would like to go to Demeia Academy as the Count’s representative. Father.”

The Count, who was scribbling down documents, looked at his daughter. I thought for a moment about why he was making such a request, but the answer came quickly.

“It’s because of Gilbert.”

“That’s right. I have to see my brother in person.”

The Count tapped his index finger on the office desk. He thought about Gilbert, whom he had met briefly before leaving for Demeia Academy.

Whatever happened, it looked quite different from usual. The guy who had always been embarrassed in front of him stood confidently in front of him that time, his eyes unwavering.

Although he told him to prove it, honestly, the Count was giving up on Gilbert. I was not so disappointed as the jokes played by the man named Jangja were no different from the local parakho.

The words to prove it at that time were simply the last chance he gave as a father and an opportunity to cut off lingering regrets. The son he had watched so far was hopeless.

However, as if to ridicule that idea, he was writing down his steps in bold, starting with an entrance mock battle. At first I thought it was incorrect information, but it wasn’t.

He was performing better than anyone else, as if he had become a different person.

Just by becoming a knight as an academy cadet, the proof I had already been given was more than enough.

“Good. Let’s go. For more details, you can hear it from your second brother.”

“Thank you! Father.”

” was done. Stop and go out.”

Dorothy first shared this good news with Anna, who was waiting as she left her office.

“I got permission from my father!”

“Congratulations. Miss.”

“First, let’s go to my second brother. You told me to take over the handover.”

“I will take you there. Let’s go now. Miss.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

Dorothy headed to her second brother, who was still living at the training center today.

Fortunately, I was able to clearly distinguish between what she must do and what she must not do. Thanks to this, there was no great difficulty in understanding all the duties of the Count’s representative.

Now there is only one thing left.

All I had to do was head to Demeia Academy to see Gilbert.
