“They fight scaryly.”

“Sure.”

Eugene and Cheolsu were watching the fight between the class leader and Younghee from a distance.

The wave of magic power could be felt up to here, and the air trembled.

Still, neither of them seem to be afraid.

Either way, he has the courage and ability to not think anything of this.

Rather, what is scary is the momentum of the two women themselves.

“I didn’t expect to see blood while punching like that.”

“Because both of them are the type of people who don’t know how to do things in moderation once they start. I guess it means that there is a certain amount of pride at stake.”

To put it bluntly, if you ask whether it is necessary for both Eugene and Cheolsu to win the competition, it is not true.

If possible, Cheolsu wants to go to China to find a medicine to cure his illness, but he doesn’t necessarily have to win the race to go there.

When I got to Eugene, I just came this far under the illusion that I wanted to win so much that the class president cried.

To be honest, I’m a little embarrassed to see the two girls doing something like that.

“For some reason, there is something about winning this fight for the class president…I feel like there is something more important than winning.”

“How can the word ‘something’ be included four times in one sentence?”

“Sseu-eup, I don’t know the exact feelings of the class president. Anyway, that’s how sincere it is.”

Even Eugene, who is clueless, can tell that much.

The class leader was somehow trying to take a step forward.

‘As expected, he’s a great guy.’

Since you have decided to become a partner, you have an obligation to watch over him until the end.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m stupid enough to get involved in that fight without notice.

‘Because I’m the class president who worked harder than anyone else. There will definitely be good results.’

Believing so, his role was to simply watch.

The fight between the class president and Younghee gradually became more intense.

Seeing that, Cheolsu smiled pleasantly.

“It’s not a strange battle no matter which side wins.”

“If you fought like that, you wouldn’t have any regrets.”

Cheolsu groaned as he watched Younghee kicking the class president without hesitation.

“……Still a little scared?”

“You too? Me too.”

How much did they fight like that?

The magic power soared to the point that even Cheolsu and Eugene were nervous.

The shaking ground was now completely shattered.

A huge light appeared in the center where the two were fighting.

Both realized it intuitively.

This attack is the last.

How strong was that intense light?

Soon the road was engulfed in silence.

“……Has it been decided?”

Eugene and Cheolsu approached there cautiously.

As I said, it’s a battle that won’t be strange no matter who wins.

In fact, this is a match that will decide the winner of this competition.

There is also genuine curiosity as to how the fight would end.

The two who approached soon found the two lying side by side on the floor.

“This is… … .”

Class president and Younghee.

Both of them fell to the floor and showed no signs of getting up.

I can’t feel any flow of magic power at all.

Both fell at the same time.

That is.

“Draw…..is.”

Both lost, and both won at the same time.

I never thought there would be results like this.

No, in some ways it is natural.

Both the class president and Younghee did their best to fight against each other.

The greatest amount of magical power unleashed with the sole intention of defeating the opponent without regard for the body.

It is natural that neither body is healthy.

“…….If this happens, will we have to settle the score?”

“Oh, I guess so.”

Cheolsu pulled out his sword, and Eugene adjusted his gloves.

Both men’s expressions were more serious than ever.

My partner worked so hard for me.

There is no way anyone could say that this side would make concessions.

It was the moment when the two were about to start fighting again after a long time.

【There are currently two participants remaining!】

【The competition ends now!!】

Suddenly, a notification sound rang from the watch.

Eugene and Cheolsu stopped at the same time.

what? The competition ends here?

“No, is it a true story?”

“Well, the rules say that the competition is over when there are two people left.”

All other children were eliminated by the Succubus Queen and the evil spirit.

Su-hyeon transfers the points to the class president and abstains.

Younghee and the class president also just fell in battle.

The only remaining students were Eugene and Cheolsu.

But that leaves one question.

“Then which team is the winner?”

“What, didn’t you know this yet? In this competition, you don’t have to stay until the end to win. The person with the highest damage wins.”

“……Huh?”

Eugene’s eyes soon opened wide as he tilted his head.

I soon realized something and checked the rules again with my watch.

【Academy Representative Selection Contest Rules】

1. A basic 240p is provided to all participants, and they are automatically eliminated when their points reach 0.

2. After entering the competition, participants must pay 10p per hour.

3. Points can be earned by killing monsters, disabling other participants in battle, obtaining flags, and completing missions.

4. The top 10 points teams are announced at certain times.

5. All participants are given a common task at certain times.

6. Teams that fail to perform their mission will be eliminated or receive a penalty regardless of the remaining points.

7. The game continues until two participants remain.

8. Calculate physical damage and magic damage separately after the match ends. The student with the highest damage is selected as the representative.

The problematic rule is number 8.

‘After the match ends, calculate physical damage and magic damage separately. The student who recorded the highest damage will be selected as the representative… In other words, it doesn’t matter if the points remain until the end?!’

Of course, it won’t be completely unrelated.

If you got the highest points and stayed until the end, there is a high possibility that you would have inflicted the most damage.

However, this is not necessarily a guarantee.

Especially when it is difficult to determine superiority or inferiority, like the Eugene team and the Cheolsu team.

“I don’t know where you were or what you were doing, but in the meantime, we got into a fight with Hyena and Sena’s party. Since we fought dozens of people at the same time, our damage was probably the highest.”

Cheolsu shrugged his shoulders.

It seems like that was the reason why he fought with Hye-na and her group.

“… … .”

Eugene opened his mouth with an expression of bewilderment for a moment.

I never would have thought that this competition had such a secret hidden in it.

No, I knew that there were somewhat different victory conditions.

However, due to various factors such as the succubus, the evil spirit, and the status of the class president, he was completely pushed back.

‘Ugh… we barely had any battles with other kids.’

Who would have thought that the reward for sucking honey throughout the competition would be like this!

Eugene closed his eyes tightly.

If I had known this would happen, I should have worked hard to catch the monster.

Soon after, the watch beeped again.

【Damage calculation completed!】

【From now on, we will announce the winners one by one!】

This is the first time I’ve hated hearing test results so much.

But regardless of those feelings, the watch continued its voice.

【No. 1 in non-fight damage, Kim Cheol-soo!】

【Congratulations on winning!】

As expected, there was no change in the results.

Cheolsu clenched his fists.

‘So, isn’t this the first time you’ve properly beaten this guy?’

I received a lot of help in one way or another, and I also owe Eugene a debt.

However, the fact that he lost to Kim Yu-jin always followed Cheolsu as a tag.

This competition will resolve that problem to some extent.

‘Of course, since it’s not a direct battle, it doesn’t mean much to me. Anyway, a win is a win. There is a high possibility that the external evaluation will be reversed.’

Cheolsu thought so and nodded.

On the other hand, Eugene sighed deeply.

The class leader put so much effort into it, but this is the result.

There is no shame in raising one’s face.

‘I should have worked harder.’

The voice rang again from the watch.

【No. 1 in Ministry of Magic damage, Yujin Kim!】

【Congratulations on winning!】

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

Not only Cheolsu but also Eugene blinked.

The accident stops for a moment.

Needless to say, Eugene is a complete non-fighter.

Why on earth is Eugene ranked first in damage to the Ministry of Magic?

One fact flashed through Eugene’s head as he tilted his head without knowing why.

‘Oh right. When exorcising evil spirits, it is clear… … .’

It was clearly the class president who used the magic to defeat the evil spirit.

However, the magic power for that huge magic was provided by Eugene.

1. When defeating the evil spirit, the class leader and Eugene used magic together.

2. Most of the magic power used at that time belonged to Eugene.

3. Wow, your magic damage is awesome!

“……This is what happens?!”

How could it be that he is not the class president or Yo˘ng-hui, but rather the representative of the Ministry of Magic?

No, this is not a problem that can be passed over like this.

Eugene doesn’t know how to use magic at all!

I, who knows nothing about magic, was chosen to represent the Academy?

What kind of light novel title is this!

“What should I do in times like this? … .”

“Die.”

In the midst of such confusion, Cheolsu swung his sword.

Eugene blocked it by grabbing the blade.

“No, crazy! Is this my fault too?!”

“It doesn’t matter what the reason is! Crazy, I want you to be my partner and not anyone else? No matter what I do, all I can think of is a future where X happens!”

There is no way you can get involved with this bastard.

Cheolsu realized that through past experience.

Whether you lose your memory, your ego, or your body becomes a total mess.

At least he’s definitely not someone I would want as a partner.

“Die here! Or rather, kill me! So be helpful to society!”

“No, this time I feel so unfair too!”

Eugene’s cry echoed through the ruined city.

That’s how the Academy competition ended.

****

How long has it been since I laid down like this and looked at the sky?

The class leader was lying blankly thinking about that.

My body is a mess, and my magical energy is completely low.

I don’t even have the strength to lift a finger.

Still, I felt good.

‘I barely…reached it.’

Of course, it was a victory achieved through hard work.

A trait called space magic that the class leader suddenly developed.

If Younghee had known about this in advance, she would have prepared.

If the embarrassed Younghee dodged the last attack without hitting it head-on, the class president would have lost.

The same approach probably won’t work twice.

‘…….Whatever it doesn’t matter.’

Still, this is my own territory that I have barely achieved.

Like Eugene’s fists, Cheolsu’s swordsmanship, and Yeonghee’s ‘Wolhee’.

A weapon that only you have.

If you sharpen this, you can definitely grow one step further.

‘Because there is plenty of time.’

There is no longer a class president who worked hard to be recognized by Eugene before graduation.

Because I realized that it’s okay not to do that.

The only thing that mattered was one’s own horse.

If it’s Eugene, he will eventually accept you as you continue to approach him.

No, it’s okay if you don’t accept it.

All you have to do is keep approaching until they accept it.

“Next time, should we trap it with space magic and hug it in underwear?”

“……Are you seriously ill?”

Younghee, who had also collapsed, spoke as if she was devastated.

“A woman who is too blatantly clingy is unattractive.”

“But Yujin is no more tactful than Cheolsu. If I don’t do that, they won’t even care about me?”

Younghee sighed deeply.

I used to be worried about the class president, but now I’m worried about Eugene.

Does he know that Eugene has a fiancé?

I wonder if Kim Yu-jin is really going to be eaten like this.

“Younghee.”

“Huh?”

“Now we have 1 loss and 1 draw.”

“… … .”

It certainly is.

This is the second time the two have officially fought.

Last time, Younghee won, this time it was a draw.

“So next time I will win.”

“……Next time, I will calculate the bending of space and shoot the magic.”

“Haha! Then I guess I should predict that and use space magic!”

The class president smiled and looked at the sky again.

A cool breeze blew and shook my hair.

It feels refreshing, like my mind has been opened.

‘The reason I started worrying was because of Eugene. ‘It’s thanks to Eugene that my worries were resolved and that I grew up.’

How should I convey this feeling?

It was then that Eugene and Cheolsu’s voices were heard from afar.

“Why are you the representative of the Academy’s Ministry of Magic, who can only use your fists? This is an international disgrace! This is a judgment of justice for the nation!”

“No, I feel really unfair too! Who knew it would turn out like this!”

Well, let’s rest for now and think about it later.

Because we can meet again at the academy at any time.

Thinking like that, the class president closed his eyes again.

With a smile that looks so pleasant.
