The darkness that spread out slowly from Joy’s shadow was as mysterious as a curtain in the night sky.

The silky black and the mysterious light sparkling between them drew gasps from the audience at the stadium.

But Frey, standing across from Joy, furrowed his brows as he looked at the darkness enveloping the land.

The magic that the God of Darkness gave was never only beautiful.

I don’t know for sure, but that’s dangerous. It sends shivers down my spine.

It sounds fun.

Ah. It’s dangerous.

The moment Frey swung her sword according to her intuition, a star shone before her.

Explosion of a planet.

Frey, who had blown away the impact with the wind of the sword, ran away while disappearing into the smoke.

But where Joy should have been, only darkness remained.

I didn’t feel any movement. It wasn’t that my senses were taken away. It was just that he hid his own presence.

Frey, who had been thinking like that and had become more sensitive, opened his eyes wide as he felt a faint magical power around him.

“끅.”

A light burst out in front of her.

Frey, who had lost sight of the surroundings before he could react, swung his sword following the magical power he felt around him, but the impact came from somewhere else.

Frey, who had rolled on the floor and was catching his breath, let out a hollow laugh at the sense of crisis he felt again.

A series of explosive sounds.

Joey, who was watching from a distance, calmly weaved her magic.

Although we succeeded in capturing the player, we are not at a point where we can feel at ease yet.

Kent Youngae wouldn’t break down like that. She’s someone who’s stood up several times when dealing with Lucy.

It’s about winning by slowly, calmly, and gradually gnawing away at it.

Always remember that if you try to decide the outcome in one go, you’ll only be giving Kent Youngae a chance.

Joy, who was well aware of her own foolishness, repeated to herself several times so as not to make even the smallest mistake, and tormented Frey according to plan.

The focus of Joy’s painting was sensory deprivation.

If we face each other and fight, everything will be cut down by Kent Youngae’s sword.

Then change your perspective. It creates an unfair environment.

Kent Youngae creates an environment in which she is unilaterally forced to suffer.

With that person’s talent, it’s obvious that it’ll be destroyed in a few times, but after this, it doesn’t matter what happens.

You just have to win once.

After all, it’s a strategy to win only once!

Joey suppressed his excitement and gradually accumulated wounds on Frey.

Even though she couldn’t see and couldn’t even trust her own senses, Youngae Kent avoided fatal injuries.

However, we cannot completely ignore the damage that accumulates on the body.

Kent Young-ae is human too.

If you keep getting hurt in a situation where you can’t expect recovery, you will eventually collapse.

Joy, who had been telling herself to stay calm, stopped for a moment when she saw the magic she had prepared disappear in an instant.

What…hey? How did you see all that?

I intentionally mixed up what you can and cannot detect to create a sense of dissonance.

No. This is not the time to panic. The fight is not over yet.

You just need to prepare more thoroughly!

As Joy struggled to pull herself together and unleashed her magic, Frey proved that what had just happened was no coincidence.

A fierce sword like a beast’s fang cut through all of Joy’s magic.

As if everything is visible.

“Found.”

Her turquoise eyes shine like stars as she looks at Joy.

Already adapted to this darkness!? Joy was astonished, but hid her traces in the darkness.

There’s still a lot of magic left in this darkness. If we buy ourselves some time, we can change our strategy.

“That’s it for tag.”

Joy’s sword that cuts across space and even power.

There was nothing that the sharp sword that could cut through even the darkness of the evil gods could not cut.

As the colorless aura cut through the darkness, the night ended and light came to the world.

“It was fun.”

The sword, shining in the light, was in front of Joy’s neck.

“…Where did I make a mistake?”

It makes no sense.

To instantly destroy the dark power given by the gods, and the magic that had been modified in every way to prevent Frey from destroying it.

I must have made another mistake. There’s no other way to explain this situation.

“Mistake? Hmm. Well. I don’t know. At least I didn’t see any mistakes.”

“But how did you destroy my magic in such a short time?”

“Just.”

“Yes?”

“I thought I could just cut it all down since I couldn’t see anything anyway. That’s it. ”

Joey burst out laughing at Frey’s pointless words.

If another young lady had said something like that, I would have been annoyed and thought it was unnecessary modesty.

But what Kent Youngae says is always sincere. She is a person who would never say empty words.

“Honestly, it was dangerous. If it had been a properly prepared place, I think I would have lost. Partran Youngae. She’s gotten so strong.”

“If you compare him to the prince, which one do you think would win?”

“Do you really have to say that, Prince? It’s so sloppy.”

“Hmm. Right. That guy is a slacker.”

The two people who were united by their contempt for one another smiled together and then quickly stepped back.

“You lost.”“Partran Youngae did well. I was too strong.”

“Really. Frey, you. I don’t like you because you seem to only resemble Lucy’s bad parts.”

Frey opened his mouth but stopped and tilted his head. When he saw Joy’s smile, the corners of his mouth went up.

“Challenges are always welcome. Joy.”

“Next time, I’ll win in the Fairy Forest.”

The eyes of the two people who promised each other were burning hotly.

*

In the two fights that followed the fight between Joey and Frey, Arthur and Faby each defeated their enemies and emerged on top.

It was an obvious result that could have been easily predicted. There was no way that anyone could beat my friends unless they were irregulars like a warrior, a swordsman, or a foolish fox.

“Honestly, it doesn’t make sense for me to fall. I’ve worked so hard for so long, so it’d be a problem if I fell like the other slackers.”

Even though he’s young, he’s a hero who saved the world. If he gets criticized by those around him, he’ll have authority issues.

If we’re not careful, even our mother might end up being treated poorly.

Fortunately, all of us except one person are on top so we don’t have to worry about that.

“I was really nervous because one idiot fell.”

“It wasn’t because I was bad that I failed!”

As I continued talking, deliberately turning away from one side of the table, Joy suddenly stood up and pointed at me.

“From the beginning, one of us had to fall!”

“That’s why you should have defeated Frey and gone up. You look pathetic since you borrowed Erginus’s power and went up against Bali.”

“If it had been a properly prepared place, I would have won! I could have won! I did my best in a disadvantageous environment!”

“Yes. Yes. Of course. The princess of the great Partran family did her best, so how could you just unilaterally reject her?”

“It didn’t work! That’s right! Frey! Our match was close!”

Joy was desperately looking for salvation, thinking that Lucy wouldn’t listen no matter what she said, but Frey tilted her head and met Lucy’s eyes before smiling playfully.

“Joy did a good job.”

“Huh!? Why are you suddenly like that?! You didn’t give me any clues last time!”

“Oh my goodness. Is the princess using her position to oppress her subordinates? She’s finally revealing her true nature.”

“Have you heard that Frey is being pressured by his superiors!?”

Joey seemed to be concerned that he was left alone, so he sat down after mumbling for a while and letting out a deep breath.

“It’s not that I can’t do it.”

Then he lowered his head, shook his shoulders, and sobbed.

Huh? Huh? Wait a minute. You’re not really crying, are you?

We both know we’re just joking.

Do you really think I think that?

I was just teasing you, so if you react so seriously, you’re in trouble!

“Black.”

I was startled by the wet voices that came one after another, and I turned my head to the side in a hurry, hoping for help, but both Faby and Arthur shook their heads.

Are you saying that I should take responsibility because it was my fault!?

That’s true! That’s true!

I quickly got up from my seat, grabbed Joy’s hand that was on my lap, and spoke softly.

“I’m sorry, Joy. I was being too joking.”

“…”

“I know you’re the one who’ll be the most disappointed, but I’m sorry for acting mean. I’ll apologize like this, so please.”

“Pfft.”

“What?”

“Phew. Big. Phew!”

There was not a trace of tears left on Joy’s face as she raised her head with laughter.

…Huh? What the. You were just pretending to cry!?

Are you saying that everyone was completely fooled by Joy’s prank?!

I looked to the side in confusion and saw Faby looking at the wall with her shoulders trembling and Arthur openly knocking on the desk and laughing.

“Lucy. It’s okay. I was fooled too.”

Frey looked at my embarrassed face and tried to comfort me awkwardly, but that only made me more annoyed.

That means I’m on the same level as Frey!

I was so angry that I frowned and thought about what to say, but then I just sat down without saying anything.

Because they’re going to be destroyed soon anyway.

“We gave it to each other. Lucy?”

“You’ll admit it, Joy. But the other guys don’t.”

You fucking bastards. I’m going to make you squirm in front of everyone.

When I glared at Faby and Arthur with that determination, the two of them suddenly hid their laughter and straightened their waists.

“Don’t let that fool you.”

“I came here with the intention of winning anyway. It doesn’t matter whether you look at me or not.”

“Me too, Lucy. I have no intention of losing.”

“The likes of you?”

When I smirked and said, “If you can, try it,” the two of them turned serious.

Well, it won’t make any difference anyway. I’m going to win anyway.

“It’s good that everyone is burning with determination.”

As they were looking at each other and building up their momentum, Joy suddenly raised her voice.

“What happens if someone other than Lucy wins in the end? Will the marriage proposal really be split?”

“I want to say, “I see?” But since you won, that means you beat me. Hmm. I’ll play with you as a cute girl for a month or so.”

Since everyone seemed puzzled by my explanation, I got up from my seat and stood in the middle. Then I smiled faintly, hiding my hands behind my back.

“Isn’t it so cute that I can’t stand it?”

I tried to act a little cute, and now they all seem to be brimming with enthusiasm.

The higher your expectations, the more it hurts when they fail.

Hehe. I wonder what kind of expression he’ll make after he gets beaten up by me.

I’m really looking forward to it.
