“The girl over there wearing glasses and shooting water magic is my daughter! Wahahaha! My daughter is doing well, she is doing well!”

Angelina’s father.

Willis, the commander of the North Gate guard, was shouting with joy in the audience.

My mother and four younger siblings were all at the stadium.

“Fighting, my daughter!”

“Sister, you’re awesome!”

“Noona is the best!”

“Sister, win!”

“Knock down my sister!”

Alicia looked at the family cheering from afar for a moment and then turned her head.

“… … ”

Alicia looked at the field and bit her lower lip.

‘Just lose.’

Even if it wasn’t for Kang Na-ru, that bastard.

‘I could have been there right now!’

Annoying.

Why is everything going so well?

I expected you to cry because you kept losing!

“Area occupied a total of 13! Vizdra Academy wins with a total of 13 to 7!”

“Wow!”

I just won again.

By the second game, Kang Na-ru and his teammates had won.

The students at Schrader Academy gave me a good impression when I first saw them, so I thought they would have strong skills, but this is it.

They were terrible guys.

I thought they would trample Kang Na-ru’s gang in a nice way, but instead, they were being trampled.

“The two heads.”

Alicia’s expression distorted.

The audience continued to chant the names of Kang Na-ru and the students, cheering, clapping, and causing an uproar.

It was so loud that it hurt my ears.

‘They don’t even know how bad Naru Kang is as an assistant professor.’

I mean, he kicked me out.

They showed such disregard for talented people like me.

You took away my chance.

‘Of course, I said I wouldn’t do it because I couldn’t control my temper.’

When I came to the field, I was jealous of the kids playing on the field.

I can feel the heat from the audience with my whole body.

Without realizing it, my desire to perform and receive cheers soared.

But I can’t do that.

I am just a spectator.

As a result, I resent Naru even more.

“After… !”

I sighed loudly.

It feels like I’m spitting out the fire burning inside my chest.

At the same time, I remembered what Naru said.

‘If you really want to get involved, there is one way. ‘I apologize formally to Angelina.’

Alicia’s expression became even more distorted.

‘What kind of apple is that really… !’

That stuffy assistant professor really made me angry.

Same time.

VIP seats in the stadium.

“Keuuu… !”

Mercenary King Schrader continued to sit down with an uncomfortable expression on his face.

At some point, he became speechless.

On the other hand, President Robert, who was sitting next to him, had a very bright expression and his shoulders were high.

“Please relax your expression. People are scared. LOL.”

“My expression is always like this! I’m not angry!”

“You’re looking at me like I’m going to eat someone. The students playing on the field will be scared.”

Schrader then relaxed his eyes and sighed.

“Ha… Leisure, leisure, leisure… ”

“Do you know that? Three of our students playing there were failing students until recently. One of them was unable to use magic due to a natural lack of mana, and the other lost the will to live due to an unexpected accident. And the other one had completely turned his back on his studies.”

“Umm… ? When do you mean until recently? Half a year?”

“Han… A little over two months, maybe?”

“Don’t joke. How can kids who were failing students until two months ago become so good overnight?”

“Kkekekekeul, that’s right. But Assistant Professor Naru did it.”

“Assistant Professor Naru? You mean a hero?”

Schrader shifted his gaze and looked at Naru standing in the distance.

“Huh… ”

Absurdity flowed out from between my open mouth.

‘That guy also has Sesia and seems to have great skills in teaching children.’

Who would have guessed that a truly outstanding hero, not just a mouthy guy, was holding out.

I underestimated Vuzdra Academy too much.

‘There’s no way Ariana gets bored this easily… ‘It’s a thing, that guy.’

Schrader stroked his chin.

By the way, my current position is as an assistant professor…

“President. How long does Assistant Professor Naru’s contract last?”

“Why are you asking that?”

“I’m asking because I’m curious.”

“You don’t have an ulterior motive?”

President Robert quipped, saying it was impossible.

“I can never tell you. Consider that you have 10 years left on your contract. Ahem.”

“He must have been an assistant professor who probably didn’t have a doctorate because he was working as a warrior, so he probably signed a long-term contract. Didn’t they hire a special professor and sign a contract for roughly 1-2 years in recognition of their adventure experience?”

“Keuhum! Don’t be mistaken. He said he wanted to stay at our academy for a long time.”

“Well, if you ask yourself, you’ll know.”

President Robert snapped at the grinning Dean Schrader.

“If you lose the match, go home quickly.”

“The competition is not over yet!”

“I think it’s over!”

“Three more games left!”

“I’m already overwhelmed by the momentum and can’t win!”

“The reversal is possible! Big!”

“Ugh!”

Our gazes collide.

The excitement inside the stadium grew even higher as the audience cheered on the fight between the two.

***

The third match was an individual match.

Students from both teams faced each other in a large open space.

The referee came out and explained the rules.

“One person from each party comes out and competes against each other.”

“Please decide the order of battle for each party and let us know. Only we know the bracket. You cannot change it midway.”

“If your back touches the floor, I will unconditionally acknowledge defeat.”

“You may declare abstention at any time.”

A solo exhibition of five for five.

You only need to win a total of three times to win.

The solution to this match was to carefully organize the turns so that our students, who had a competitive advantage, faced students who were relatively weaker than them.

However, the opposing team’s turn number is kept secret according to the rules.

I had to hit him with a crowbar.

So, I decided on our team’s turn.

I am a warrior.

Thanks to the hero’s abilities, he had great luck and good sense.

I felt like I could come up with the best matchup with a bit of luck.

First of all, the opponent to avoid the most was Cana.

Because it was obvious at a glance that she had skills that put her opponents in awe.

If possible, I had to avoid encountering our team’s aces, Angelina, Lydia, and Hazley.

If they meet, it is obvious that they will bleed each other.

Even if you win the fight, there is a high chance of serious injury.

Even though Ace is a waste, we must not lose even one person.

Therefore, the correct answer was to give the discard card to Kana.

In my head, Roan and Rachel were the discards and I was going to compete with Angelina, Lydia, and Hazley.

“Angelina. You are the first.”

-Um, me? Shall I leave first?

“Yes. You don’t have to be nervous. you are strong The other person will be scared as soon as they see you.”

Angelina soon faced her opponent.

It was a male student holding a sword.

The referee spoke next to the two confronting each other.

“The match time is 5 minutes. If a winner cannot be determined within 5 minutes, the winner will be decided by judgement. Start.”

Early days.

The two men explored each other and exchanged arguments lukewarmly.

After about two minutes, the male student’s sword blade was coated with sword energy and sparks flew.

They immediately rushed towards Angelina.

Paang!

Angelina immediately responded with a water barrier, and the three water columns moved flexibly like snakes, continuing to distract the male student.

Dodge, swing, block, counterattack… Things changed significantly as Angelina quickly got used to fighting people rather than monsters.

She continued to push, and eventually the male student was hit head-on by the water cannon and fell out.

“Aaagh!”

“Buzdra Academy Angelina student wins!”

“Wow!”

After gaining momentum from the first edition, the atmosphere at Schrader Academy became more gloomy.

Even the bright Ariana had a shadow on her face.

“Next students. Please come forward.”

Second match.

Kana walked out from Schrader Academy.

On our side…

I had decided on Roan as number 2.

‘bingo.’

A smile formed on my lips.

My prediction was correct.

“Well, thank you!”

As Roan steps forward, the expressions of the other students, including Ariana, become crumpled.

For some reason, Roan seems to have been evaluated as the weakest among them.

Even if I didn’t have to deal with Cana, I could have done it with another student.

Well, Roan is a tank.

Tanks are inherently good at using only defensive skills, so they are much less aggressive than regular fighters.

So when it comes to judgment, Roan is at a disadvantage.

If the contestant drags on for the full five minutes and then comes to a decision, the judges will favor the person who showed the most aggressive behavior.

In other words, it was obvious that a fighter with a lot of flashy attack skills would have an advantage in the decision.

“Start!”

“Ha, I surrender! Surrender!”

Suddenly, Roan raised both hands and declared defeat.

The audience is surprised.

“You already lost!?”

It was as planned.

My students and I laughed with satisfaction, and our opponents clicked their tongues even though they had won.

“Damn you!”

Kana huffed.

“You cowards!”

Perhaps out of anger, I didn’t go in alone and made a mistake.

“I was going to kill you first! But damage? You cowardly bastard!”

Students from the opposing team rushed out and forcibly dragged her in.

The audience looked dazed by the sudden commotion.

Everyone seemed to not understand why Kana was so angry.

Meanwhile, Roan looked quite shocked.

“Ah… For the first time in my life, I heard a girl swear at me… ”

-It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m praising you because you’re good.

I had a hard time comforting him as he cried.

Anyway, we easily won the third game with a total score of 4:1.

Originally, I predicted a 3:2 win, but Rachel, who was a discarded hand, surprisingly showed off her fierce spirit and defeated her opponent.

They say even seemingly insignificant bees have stings…

It was a good fighting spirit.

Outside the field, I looked back at the enthusiastic crowd and smiled.

“It’s still easy.”

There are now two games left.
