43 – Special Exam (8)
The time has finally come.
Perhaps this part can be called the highlight of this special exam.
The reason I was able to endure until now.
Plodding along.
The familiar sound of footsteps,
An ensemble accompanied by the sound of footsteps following side by side.
I raised my head and looked straight ahead, dreaming that the ensemble would continue in the future.
“I’ll admit it. That we can’t defeat you with our strength alone. Still, we’ll do our best.”
A blonde warrior who shows off his majesty while wielding a sword.
Lily Bright aimed her sword.
“I feel the same way. So, let me do you a favor!”
A magic swordsman looking at the blue silver moon on his shoulder.
Rhein Schrei He smiled at her and nodded her head.
What a combination of the main character and the favorite character.
Maybe I was possessed by this world to see this scene.
It feels like tears are coming out of my heart, but
I slowly raised my sword, concentrating my emotions.
“Okay, let’s finish this quickly. “After this, I have to get something from that bastard.”
It is important to pass this special exam safely,
There is a need to check the skills of the two once again.
Will we be able to overcome the events that will occur in the future?
It is safe to say that they waited for this time to judge it.
You can guess something just by looking at the two fighting nearby.
Isn’t it best to fight in person?
Of course, I won’t fight with the intent to kill, but I should be prepared to inflict a wound or two.
My heart hurts, but getting hurt is better than dying.
More than anything, I hope that the two will grow through this match.
In order to do that, I have a strong heart,
I promised to do my best.
“The last game from now on. Start!”
Beep!
***
Class S watches from the audience after losing the previous match.
They doubted whether what they were seeing was real.
Of course, Lily Bright was chosen as the hero,
Against Rhein Schreig, the strong man who succeeds her.
Far from being equal, the situation was rather overwhelming.
“Lily, your movements are monotonous. “Rain, you are still unskilled in using magical power!”
Is it simply overwhelming?
The way he points out mistakes like a professor,
It seemed like a lecture, not a game.
As they corrected the issues that were pointed out to them, they gradually began to become stronger.
“Two people are being pushed?”
Nevertheless, it was not enough to deal with Ron.
The sight of two people who were close to perfection becoming no match for each other,
For Class S, it was truly shocking.
“There’s definitely some trick involved!”
“Yes, obviously, while we weren’t looking….”
One by one, people began to deny the unbelievable reality.
But even that collapsed due to the opinion of just one person.
“How? “That person was up there the whole time.”
“Well, that’s…” .”
Ron has never left the training ground until now.
Now the rumor has spread that they are dealing with the entire S class,
Even students from other classes gathered together and there was no such thing as a square.
There is no time to even sneak around and use tricks.
In other words, Ron faced Class S solely with his skills.
Without any tricks or fraud.
“At first I thought he was arrogant, but it was actually the opposite. “We were complacent.”
A word that everyone realized, but did not come out easily.
Yes, I have no choice but to admit it.
He is strong, and the S class is no match for him.
“Should I tell my family?”
Suddenly, the S class student present turned his gaze to the serious voice.
No matter how much you are a student,
He is strong enough to take on the entire S class.
If you bring him to the family in any way, it will be an opportunity to raise the family’s status.
Starting with that one word, while they were thinking about what to do with Ron in their heads.
The fact that Ron was chosen by the Noble Alliance was a sticking point.
No matter how prestigious the noble family is,
Considering the current power of the noble union, it is no different from a risky gamble.
Even the king cannot handle the union of nobles, so how can a single family stand up to them?

Even those who tried to recruit Ron,
Even though I was disappointed, I had no choice but to give up.
But do they know?
The fact that I missed out on a talent that I should never have missed in my life due to a moment of fear.
With no way of knowing what the future holds, they just watch Ron’s overwhelming performance,
I just sighed.
***
Cheeng! Cheeng!
Every time the swords collide, a metallic sound rings out,
Beads of sweat splashed in all directions.
As the game continued, he looked tired and his eyes lost strength.
The match started to find out the skills of the two people.
The results were extremely ambiguous.
I invested so much in the line, but it is still playing at the last passing line.
Lily is similar to Line, but she’s honestly such a b*tch that I have nothing to say about her.
Is there a lack of discipline?
I can’t help it because, unlike me, they are two people who always attend class.
If you just train without classes like me,
At least it will be noticeably stronger than now.
Unfortunately, it seemed difficult to reach my standard as I also had to take care of my studies.
‘No, maybe I’m weird.’
Honestly, isn’t risking one’s life to train oneself nonsense?
Everyone has only one life,
Life is precious as long as time cannot be turned back.
‘There is one guy who can turn back time. ‘He should be excluded.’
Anyway, it’s a shame because, unlike me, he continued with ordinary training.
It would be nice if I could at least help you,
It was close to impossible because the classes were different and I couldn’t participate in the lectures.
‘Next time, I’ll ask the dean.’
If you just skip the next event, it won’t be that difficult to ask again.
I don’t know anything else, but it might be possible to train those two people.
For that to happen, it is important to pass this test.
“Well, now that I’ve warmed up, let’s get started.”
“Ugh! That….”
“I thought it was amazing, but it couldn’t be….”
The two looked at my sword without speaking.
A blue trace engraved in the air.
Line, who saw the scene, was astonished.
That’s right, what I’m currently using is Raine’s main specialty, magic swordsmanship (water).
I can’t say it’s perfect, but
Nevertheless, the fact that I also used magic swordsmanship must have been quite shocking.
“Then the line. Take a good look. “Because this is the goal you should aim for.”
As he said that, he imbued the sword with enormous magical energy.
A sword of vegetation that shines more blue.
When I swung the sword upward, a huge wave rose in front of my eyes.
The wave hit the two people and pushed them to the end of the training ground.
Line and Lily soaked in the spot where the waves passed.
But this attack does not just end here.
“This!”
“Is this really my goal?”
The waves that swept across the floor froze to white,
Even the bodies of Line and Lily were frozen without mercy.
“Waving coldness. “You can overpower your enemy in an instant and change the course of the fight.”
Ice is a derived property of water.
If the line works hard, an attack like this will be possible someday.
Of course, it’s impossible right now, and I’ll have to focus on training my magic power.
“When on earth did you even try your hand at magic swordsmanship?”
“I haven’t touched anything in particular. “Because this is my first time using it.”
“What?”
Once you know the principles of the technology, it is possible to reproduce it to some extent.
Of course, there is a big gap with the real thing, but relative to the two, this is enough.
“Then try to block it next time too!”
“Line!”
Quaang!
When I thrust my sword forward, a red explosion spread forward.
This is a type of fire attribute magical swordsmanship.
You can also fire it at the enemy in front like I just wrote,
Can inflict explosive damage by inserting it into the enemy’s body.
It is one of the least useful techniques among magic sword techniques.
It is effective against low-level magical beasts, so it is quite useful,
I guess it wasn’t enough for these two people.
“Cough! Cough! What are you doing all of a sudden? “You really thought you were going to die!”
“It is difficult because the attributes are different, but if you do it well….”
Lily and Line emerge through the dust.
Other than being covered in dust, the two people looked unharmed and unharmed.
I looked closely at the floor and saw that it was completely black from the explosion.
As if a line had been drawn, the scorch did not spread beyond the border.
It is presumed that she used her skill, [Shield of the Holy Tiger].
Lily stamped her foot in great anger,
Rhine shook her head and her eyes sparkled as if she had realized something.
“Well then, do you want to continue or do you want to stop here?”
I can fight as much as I want, but
The two people clearly looked exhausted.
Even if you can fight, if you are not careful, it can lead to serious injury.
The two thought for a moment, then looked at each other and nodded.

She at first did not believe that Enron was at the bottom of the river.
Secretly looking at women’s buttocks in the village,
There is no way Ron, who stays in the mountains every day and sleeps, can be strong.
I couldn’t deny that there was a part of me that had a tendency to ignore him.
Yes, you have to admit what you have to admit.
I ignored Ron and thought he could win if he gave it his all.
But after experiencing it myself, I realized how foolish it was.
‘It’s the worst.’
I bit my lip as self-loathing slowly rose from beneath the surface.
Recognized as a warrior,
Three years have passed since I was adopted by the Bright family.
During this time, I fought against many opponents and built up confidence.
That confidence soon turned into arrogance and led to the worst results.
Is this why he can be called a hero?
Would he be a hero in the first place?
There was no way I could beat Ron with this mindset.
Rather, this result may have been natural.
‘I would rather give up.’
If I give up here, wouldn’t everything become easier?
Suddenly, my mind was shaken by that thought.
However.
“Lily. “You can still do it, right?”
I was caught by a voice that had not yet lost hope in a situation of great defeat.
Yes, the game is not over yet and mistakes can be corrected.
If you make a mistake, you can reflect on it and apologize later.
And now we have to get back to playing.
For my colleagues who fight together,
To break up with my ugly self.
I acknowledged the theory and stood up once again with respect.
“Ron, I wonder what happened to me for a moment. Instead, I will work hard from now on, so please watch over me.”
“… Yes, that’s how it is like Lily.”
Ron smiles brightly and nods.
I vowed not to ignore him any longer and raised my sword.
Not as the hero Lily Bright,
His friends and family,
As Lily, the woman who loves him, I will show a good side to him.
