Black History-2
The purpose of the council was to preserve the Reinhardt tradition and to provide advisors to coordinate in order to prevent the young headman from acting arbitrarily.
At the same time, it was also the position that Reinhardt’s old knights, who are now retired, were given in recognition of their contributions.
In fact, when the Senate was first established, only the warriors who dealt with the demon king and the remaining demons entered the Senate.
Only those who were actually respected and who left excellent achievements and knowledge could become members of the Senate.
They fought on a battlefield that was worse than it is now, 300 years later, so they were able to become helpful advisors and helpers in practice.
But 300 years was long and peaceful at the same time.
Reinhardt’s knights had no choice but to be indolent during that time. That may be an unavoidable phenomenon. Naturally, in a situation of peace rather than war, the psychiatric maintenance had no choice but to retreat.
The problem was when we headed to the stage over indolence.
‘The only thing I want to ask you is about Ariaspil.’
The fall, he had forgotten his original duty to protect and began to greedy.
The senators, who should always be there as advice, gradually took over the borders and began to infiltrate the territory that the family had to protect.
While supporting his own children and subordinate families, he began to gradually exclude reformists and those considered to be impure, who were opposed to the Senate.
It didn’t matter if I didn’t say it out loud. It was clear that if they filled the characters of the new age with their chosen ones, the game would flow in favor of the Senate.
Leonardo was one of them.
He is a direct disciple of Chris, and he is close to Arya and is his only tacit friend.
If this young boy was recruited in advance, it was clear that he would be a good joker depending on the situation.
Moreover, the unfavorable circumstances and past history were one of the good bargaining tools. I thought it would be easy to persuade if I used it.
‘…So, let’s periodically tell the Senate about Arya’s actions…’
‘I don’t think that’s it? Did the headmaster give the direct instructions?’
However, Leo did not accept the senate’s tactics unexpectedly. He didn’t see the plan directly. However, the skill that was strengthened through life as a mercenary was not so light.
It was a failure to attribute Leonardo to the Senate in that way.
It was disconcerting for the senator. For the Senate, it was the loss of one of the few means of controlling the candidacy and genius of Ariaspil.
In fact, there was no clear cause for the senate to take over the group of the home family.
At any rate, it was only to the extent of advising on the judgment of the family or advising on the decision, but there was no authority to hold and shake other people in the family.
However, it was also impossible to increase the authority implicitly without an intelligent justification.
Because there was no person expected to act.
As a representative example, Rios Reinhardt, the eldest son of a California candidate like Arya, did not follow the Senate’s instructions at all.
Rios had no reason to listen to the retired old man in the back room, who had never really listened to his father and housekeeper, Gladio.
‘This engagement is not pure love!’
‘My pure love is not like that!’
Breaking up all arranged engagements and dating because of the pursuit of natural encounters was the evidence and totality of that.
Is that all?
‘I wish I could tell you to remove the rust from the sword.’
‘It’s ridiculous to give advice while I was on active duty. As I am free to speak, I am also free to accept.’
Chris despised the current senate system, and Marken had no reason to control it, as he was an active veteran with more experience than them.
Silica had no power, and as Gladio’s companion, she only acted for him and had no reason to follow the Senate.
Fortunately, the California owner, Gladio, respected the decision of the Senate, but it was only to keep tradition and manners, and he did not sincerely think that their decision was decisive.
Therefore, the Elder Council desperately needed a means to hold Ariaspil, who is considered to be the reincarnation of a hero.
So it was a big mistake for them that their plans to use Leonardo were shattered in that way.
Before the return, Ariaspil did not exist due to lack of sociability.
Because of her extraordinary abilities, she lacked the sense of understanding others, so there were few people with whom she could truly share her feelings.
Even Reinhardt’s immediate family could admit that Arya at the time was difficult to communicate with.
But with the arrival of Leonardo, that changed.
At that time, Leonardo had a narrow political view due to his long mercenary life, far from being aristocratic etiquette.
That shortcoming served as a positive for Arya in the opposite direction. It must be the case at that time, when Arya felt disillusioned with those who approached them calculatingly.
Those who lacked ability only looked at Arya in awe, and those who were at the same height only thought of it as a connection to Reinhardt’s genius or Reinhardt rather than the existence of ‘Ariaspil’.
So, Arya had no one to talk to other than her family, let alone friends her age. Even Jehad, the escort knight who was by his side, was practically just a trustee serving as a watchdog.
‘Are you really stupid?!’
But Leonardo was different. Even if he knew what position Ariaspil was in, he was always slanderous and informal in public.
‘But I told you to go…’
‘Which idiot in the world really wants to go?! That’s the time to comfort anyone who sees it!!’
It was definitely pointed out. It filled Aria’s lack of empathy and common sense.
‘Aria Spiel!! I will definitely win today!!’
‘…Oh yeah. Try it.’
There, Leo was always seriously considering how to beat Arya. Although he paid his respects, he did not fear Arya. At first, everyone thought Leo was an immature idiot, but he started cheering for Leo more than 10 times and more than 30 times with his grit.
Like someone who admires the story that hard work is more meaningful than talent, he started to acknowledge Leo’s existence.
However
Unfortunately, the story of today was not the epic reversal that people usually like.
A sad and uninteresting story that would surely be riddled with boos began like that.
***
Leonardo was holding his breath. In order to even out the excited emotions, it was to choose the breath first.
Although they compete regularly, what they are doing now is different.
The 150th showdown will be a battle that will overturn the humiliating and bizarre record of 0–149.
I felt the same way in the 100th match.
I studied and researched to win somehow, but the day I was defeated by Arya as it was.
Leo must have wept more than when he had guessed that Ren was not coming. As if the moisture in his body was boiling, he was angry and resentful, and he couldn’t hold back his tears.
“…after…”
Today will be different. researched and verified. The special training with Chris that I’ve been doing until today has never been in vain. Lessons learned from Marken were never easy.
The advice from Gladio and the encouragement from Silica and Gladio give strength to the hand holding the sword.
“…are you ready?”
Chris suddenly appeared and stood next to Leonardo who was getting ready.
“…Yes!”
Leonardo was determined. You will win today. I couldn’t lose this time.
A draw won’t be enough.
Ended up with just two…
“…do you care about the song the bard sang earlier?”
Seeing Leo’s expression on his face, Chris couldn’t help but ask. It was because the song the bard sang on the roadside at the moment when he bought a nourishing food as a reward for completing special training was a story about Aria and Leo.
“…Amadeus… One title was a well-written song.”
Amadeus, the word for the one loved by the gods.
There was no other word that really suited Ariasviel, the second coming of the hero Ruben Reinhardt.
“it’s okay.”
At the same time, there were no cruel words to Leo.
“…Then I will go.”
Leonardo walked out the door with all his gear on his back. The maintenance of the equipment was definitely checked and perfect.
“…don’t be eaten by your inferiority complex.”
Chris patted Leo on the shoulder and advised.
“You grow by eating your inferiority complex.”
At that one word, Leo’s expression softened.
“…you know? I’m not picky eaters.”
“…a good child.”
“It’s because I have a good teacher.”
The tense atmosphere was relaxed as jokes came and went. Leonardo took a confident step forward.
“Leonardo.”
“Ah, Alphonse-senpai.”
As he was about to go to the promised dance hall, he ran into Alphonse Armstrong, the knight’s senior, this time.
“Is today Dalian Day? don’t cheer.”
“Yes! The condition and the state of the weapon are the best.”
Then, Alphonse’s gaze naturally turned to the weapon. From the spear to the dagger, the bow and the long sword, it seemed like he had all the knives.
“…but that sword… isn’t it curved a little?”
“…Yes?”
Leonardo looked at his main weapon, the sword. Even if it was an entry-level model, it couldn’t be bent so easily as it was Reinhardt’s sword.
However, as Alphonse said, when I checked the long sword properly, the guard of the sword was slightly cracked.
“…it really is.”
“I made a mistake like you. Are you nervous?”
I thought I was fine until I talked to Chris, but the blade was curved. If I had known during the fight, I would have suffered a huge blow.
“I’m happy though. Thanks to you, I can turn it into a spare.”
“Thank you for thinking that way. I also want you to win.”
Alphonse said as he watched Leonardo go to get his spare sword.
“If you win, other knights will also be motivated.”
***
“…I’m here?”
Arya was standing in the center of the dance hall, and around it, even knights and users were seated as spectators.
Perhaps she also realized the weight of Dalian, and she was wearing a polished sword and armor for Dalian.
“I’m here, so answer me.”
Leonardo noticed this too, but answered in a light tone as usual.
“Are you slanderous in public now?”
“…because today I’m going to win. Ariaspil-sama.”
Leo held out his gloves and held out his gloves.
“It starts with the gloves falling off. Doesn’t it matter?”
“okay. There are no leftovers in the gloves.”
Arya said with her eyes enhanced with mana. As she said, the gloves didn’t deceive at all.
“…then…”
Leonardo threw the glove centered between her and himself. The leather gloves, which rose high, began to fall to the floor without fluttering.
All eyes turned to the gloves. The moment of rapid acceleration in seconds,
Quick!!
Leonardo suddenly broke the spear in half. With a loud sound, Ariane, as well as the people’s eyes, turned to Leo.
It wasn’t breaking the rules. I wasn’t there, but I didn’t attack or create a booby trap, so it wasn’t ‘breaking’.
But the trap was right. People’s eyes turned to the gloves again.
The gloves have already fallen to the floor. Leo, who broke the spear, was the first to check it.
Whik!!
Therefore, it was possible to throw a broken spear handle as a preemptive attack.
Kahn!!
Half of the thrown handle was bounced off by Arya’s Baldo. An ordinary knight might have been stabbed, but Arya’s reflexes were more than capable of reacting to it.
wedge!!
Leo knew that too. It wasn’t just the spear blade that Leo threw. The dagger hidden in the trail reached Arya’s vicinity as it was.
Kang!!
It even bounced off. It didn’t matter.
Those memorizations were the bait. It was a trick to narrow the distance with Arya. Leo had already narrowed the distance with Arya for a long time.
They were so close that they could feel each other’s breathing beyond the weapon’s range. And at the same time, it starts attacking like a dagger with half of the spear held by one hand.
Kahn!!
Her posture was a little shaky, but Arya immediately blocked the spear with her long sword. But it was as calculated.
‘It’s slow…!’
It was one of Arya’s weaknesses. It was also a typical weakness of those who used a long sword as their main weapon.
‘…After all, the distance was the answer!’
A common misconception among those dealing with Arya is that they adopt the strategy of ‘using a melee weapon, spread the distance’.
In particular, it was a common mistake if you were using a medium-range or long-range attack method.
‘Then…’
It’s basic to attack with an auror, and if there’s a momentary gap, it rushes and cuts the distance in less than a second.
Therefore, attacking while widening the distance or continuously attempting long-range or medium-range attacks is one of the best ways to attack.
Kaan!!
When the sword strikes hit 3 or more, Leo finally pulled out his main weapon, a long sword.
Sreung!!
A surprise attack that launches a counterattack, and Arya hurriedly bends her waist to avoid the attack. It wasn’t intentional, but thanks to her voluptuous breasts, the armor on her chest was cut off a bit.
“…ooh… that’s a bit lewd…”
perok
Marken knocked him out as soon as he spoke insidious words, so the fight proceeded with peace of mind.
Arya was perplexed, but Leo didn’t care at all. Because I didn’t have time to worry about it anymore.
“…with this number…!”
Unlike usual, Arya chose to take a step back instead of rushing. If the distance was widened and rearranged, it was not a matter of changing the direction of the airborne.
Nettle! whip!!
This was also within the assumed range. Leonardo threw the dagger he had brought with him. There were three reasons for throwing in the diagonal downward direction.
“…Chiit…!!”
Limit movement by focusing on the ankle,
‘…The attack direction is too low…!’
The bottom attack was difficult to block with a long sword.
Thanks to this, Arya had to focus only on evasion, and Arya, who barely escaped, rushed to approach Leo.
Kwajik!!
But it failed. Arya’s foot was smashed by an obstacle embedded in the ground.
‘…a dagger is like an obstacle…!’
The reason for using a dagger as a throwing object was not simply because it was easy to throw. Thanks to only dodging, the dagger succeeded in firmly hitting the ground.
It is fixed like a beak of stone thanks to the saw blade structure auror made with reference to Chris’ Shining Dark Orbis.
At the same time, it was not easy to rush to any place thanks to the uniform throw. In order to approach it from the ground, you had to run, avoiding obstacles one by one.
“…then…!”
Arya blew an auror into her sword. The sword flew towards Leo, cutting through the air and the air.
wedge!!
Leo expected everything. After a while, Leo, who drew his bow, pierced through all of his swordsmanship with arrows.
In fact, in terms of Aurors, it was true that Arya had the upper hand, but from the point of view that the Auror was contained in an arrow with a substance, the physical action had no choice but to give Leo the upper hand.
Puff!!
“…Ugh…!!”
And it was unreasonable to wait for the arrows to run out. Leo’s arrow pierced through the sword and pierced Arya’s left shoulder.
As you can see from the shape alone, the bow and arrow were the only weapons for sniping a single point rather than a dagger.
‘…All that’s left is…!’
All that was left was a leap forward. Arya, who leapt, fired a sword at Leo from the air as it was.
But Leo also had an advantage. Leo disturbed the landing with arrows as much as possible, cutting off Arya’s attack.
In fact, arrows continued to pass through her body and the ends of her flesh were flying, increasing the number of injuries.
And when he reached the halfway point, Leo drew his sword, the end of the plan.
‘…I can win…!’
The advantage was on the side of Leo who hit the ground and blew the counter. Arya was cut by the sword as it was and flew off and fell unstable to the ground.
“…you can win!!”
Leonardo grabbed the bow again. It was clear that if she approached again now, Arya would immediately infuse her sword with an aura to deliver a fatal blow.
This time, instead of sniping, the arrows that were fired in rapid fire and bursts were saturated with Arya.
“…with this…!!”
Obviously, Leonardo thoroughly attacked Arya. He prepared well in terms of strategy and skill, sealing his opponent’s strengths one after another, and intensively attacking his weaknesses.
Paah…!
The opponent was Arya. A genius who can grow even at the moment of breathing, Aria had already grown up compared to herself the day before.
“…Go to Aurora…to 5 stars…?”
Arya’s core grew again. There was no foreshadowing, no foreshadowing.
Naturally, she grew up.
“…what… this power…”
Leo was so embarrassed that he froze. The growth of the Auror Core, at least, had never been seen before.
Although he had managed to slowly make it a three-star through practice, Aria created a five-star core in one breath.
“…”
Then Arya took a stance. It was a rush attitude. Despite the obstacles, Leo had some kind of intuition.
That wouldn’t even be an ‘obstacle’.
Quickly grab the sword. Arya was injured.
If you focus on your left shoulder injury and succeed in the counter, you will also…!
Ka… ah!!
Thoughts did not follow. Leo and the people who saw this fight were the same.
Leo’s sword was cut in half and flew away. As it is, Leo falls to the ground.
It wasn’t cut, and even after being hit by a knife, he couldn’t stand up.
“…”
Arya didn’t say anything unlike other times. It was usually a habit to say I won or say I was weak, but now for some reason, the words didn’t come out.
“…Ariaspil… you… won…”
Everyone started to be surprised when someone broke their luck. I was startled by the wonder, I was awestruck, and I was in awe.
Some knights ran to congratulate Ariaspil. Of course, Ariaspil’s ability was outstanding, and it was true that the victory in this match was intense enough to hold a sweat.
But anyone with an eye would know. what a horrendous act that is.
“…how can you fight like that…? What the hell…how…?!”
Leonardo did not know what feelings he had.
Is it edgy or desperate?
Was it anger or despair?
At that moment, Arya spoke.
“…even now, it’s great enough.”
comforted me
“You can try. Someday you can beat me…”
On top of that, it exploded.
“What do you know…”
It may have been a laughable situation. Even if I was angry, I might have ended a swear word.
“What do you know!!”
If only the bard hadn’t ridiculed himself for being second.
“…Leo…?”
“Did you know that the father was absent from birth?”
If the origins were a little better.
“Have you ever wondered if your mother is from Changgwan?”
If only I had a little more parental love.
“Or have you ever thought that your blood might be mixed there?”
I wouldn’t have had to suffer from such inferiority complex.
“Have you ever lived alone without any help outside? Have you ever been almost raped by a giant you thought was a colleague? Do you have any memories of betraying a friend you trusted?!”
If only I had the talent.
“And do you know how it feels to lose every time you wield a weapon, with your nails falling out, your hands covered in calluses, and being ridiculed every time…?”
It wouldn’t have been this miserable.
“It’s all unfair…! Family, money, fame, and… talent…”
And it was later that Leo found out.
“What do you know about having everything…! I never lost anything…!!”
After causing this incident, the Senate deliberately started directly estranged between Leo and Arya.
“…Sorry.”
A feeling of inferiority to Leo, guilt to Arya.
He tried to separate the relationship between the two by deepening the emotional gap.
In fact, it was the Senate that gave money to the bard to spread the story of ‘Amadeus’. After seeing the note of the Senator who killed him, Leo thought that it was the Senate that broke the sword’s guard.
“Shut up…!”
This made Arya’s political engagement easier to use.
“If you’re a human too, get angry!!”
It was a good opportunity to rule out Leonardo, a variable that might shake Ariaspil’s feelings.
And the decisive moment came after Leo stabbed Chris in the eye.
