There was a big explosion.
Rudy’s fist and Evan’s sword collided, and the forest Evan had built was devastated.
smoke rises
Black sparks are bouncing around.
sabak. sabak.
After a while, there was the sound of ashes being trampled on.
“This is my victory… … . Evan.”
Rudy said as she wiped the blood flowing from her head.
“Ugh… … .”
Evan groaned as he fell to the floor.
Apparently, Evan had fewer wounds than Rudy.
However, he was wearing an inner wound and blood was dripping from his mouth, and he was unable to get up.
Rudy looked down at Evan like that.
A broken sword lay next to Evan.
“Rudy… … Astria… … .”
“You, who live a wandering life without a destination and without conviction, cannot defeat me.”
It was a difference of will.
When Evan and Rudy collide at the end.
Rudy was seriously wounded on the outside, and Evan was shocked by mana.
No matter who fell, it was not strange.
However, the will was different.
Rudy endured the pain inflicted on her body.
Even if you feel like your body is going to break, even if you want to run away from the pain you inflict.
clenched his fist
Evan was defeated by that will.
Evan’s mana was shaken before Rudy ran away from the pain.
Evan thought.
what the hell is this guy
It looked strange from a distance, but up close it was even more strange.
Even if you have strong powers, you may have fears about the future and doubts about your will.
Rudy didn’t.
He pushed forward with a straight will and pure conviction.
The difference between me and myself was even stronger.
Without any direction, he and Rudy, who were just working with the mindset to defeat only Rudy, had different wills.
Evan had the word defeat in mind.
He repeated that he should not be defeated, but he harbored the doubt that it would not matter if he was defeated.
Evan wanted to win for the sake of victory.
I didn’t think I had to do anything with the win.
At the same time, I didn’t even think what would happen if I lost.
Evan looked at Rudy with dismayed eyes.
“You… … how… … .”
What makes his will so strong?
Because you have a goal, where you are looking.
As Evan had such a question, Rudy sat down next to him.
“Hey, you have a very poor life too.”
Rudy sighed and looked at Evan.
“Now, stop wandering around and take a seat. What will change if you stay gloomy every day? Studying and training is easy, and I get along well with the people around me.”
Having said that, these words were also words of Rudy herself to the past.
Evan now looked no different from his past self.
He couldn’t find a way, he just ran forward.
He was just running forward with no expectations for the goal ahead.
“Don’t get involved with weird rebels.”
“… … what.”
Evan’s eyes widened at Rudy’s words.
Investigating the rebels was something Evan had done secretly.
“If you think you fit the rebel’s goals well, I won’t stop you, but from my point of view, you and the rebels are clearly not compatible.”
The rebel’s goal is to change the world.
I could do anything to change the world.
Because they want peace in the future rather than sacrifices now.
Such goals do not suit Evan.
Rudy himself was the same.
They just need to have close friends who are peaceful and stable.
It is better to maintain the current peace even with small changes than to suddenly make big changes.
Evan looked at Rudy with a languid face.
“You don’t tell me what you know about me.”
“You know more than you think?”
“Today is the first time we have had a proper conversation.”
“Just because you talk often doesn’t mean you know the person well, do you?”
“under… … !”
Evan laughed at Rudy’s words.
Do you know that you tried to contact the rebels, and you know yourself well?
Evan silently stared at Rudy and opened his mouth.
“Are you gay?”
“This madman.”
Rudy raised her fist and looked at Evan.
“Are you a little less right? More right?”
“… … Or it was.”
After asking such a silly question, Evan took a deep breath.
It had been a long time since I had laid down so comfortably.
While Evan was lying comfortably like that, he asked Rudy.
“Rudy Astria, you said you knew me well.”
“okay.”
Evan quietly clenched his fist.
“Then what should I do now?”
Evan felt the difference between him and Rudy deeply this time.
Rudy had a goal and was working towards it.
So the will was extraordinary.
I couldn’t dare to skip it.
It seemed that no matter how hard he tried, he could not overcome this will, and he did not think that he could take the senior position.
Then what should he do now?
There was nowhere else to go.
So Evan asked Rudy, feeling like he was grabbing straw.
Rudy frowned at Evan’s question.
“What kind of question is that?”
“Didn’t you tell me too? Living a wandering life without beliefs. I have nowhere to go now.”
Rudy tilted her head at that.
“Do you really need a place to go?”
“What?”
“Just play, kid. Taking some time off. If you just live with the flow, the answer will come. It’s not that you’re incompetent, it’s not that you’re worried about the future. Take some time off and help someone who is having a hard time around you. You’re not a great person, and you don’t need faith.”
Evan narrowed his eyebrows.
“Didn’t you say something about your beliefs?”
“That means you can’t beat me because you don’t have faith, and that doesn’t mean you have to.”
Rudy said lightly.
It would be meaningless to talk about beliefs and goals at length here.
What Evan needs is time.
Over time, you will develop your own beliefs and you will know what your goals are.
It is better to feel it yourself than to say it a hundred times.
On the contrary, the person who has said a lot and listened may be ruined.
So all Evan needs is time to think and time to rest.
Evan, who was aiming for the best without any meaning and no goals, how tired he must have been.
If you put that burden down for a while and take a break, the answer will come.
What happened after that was not for Rudy to do.
It’s up to Evan himself.
“Come on then.”
“Well?”
Rudy got up and looked at Evan.
“Now, let’s just hit one.”
“What?”
“That’s how I get your score.”
Rudy laughed.
“I’m going to beat you up, so will you lose your mind all at once?”
“Oh, no. You can just abstain, why do you have to be right?”
“If you abstain, I won’t take your score.”
“You must be number one anyway, do you need my score?”
“I don’t know. What great guy could have scored more points than me.”
Rudy raised her fist.
“Come on, then let’s go.”
“no!”
Rudy swung his fist and slapped Evan in the head.
“Ouch! this crazy… … .”
“What, you don’t faint. I will do it again.”
Tight!
“Wow… … . already… … .”
“Hey, pass out.”
Tight!
“Ahh!!”
“Please pass out.”
As a result of hitting about 10 like that.
Evan fainted and collapsed.
His forehead was stained red with blood bruises, and he had several lumps on his head.
A happy smile appeared on Rudy’s lips as she looked at her collapsed like that.
“Uh-huh, that’s cool.”
It was Rudy’s own revenge.
Revenge for Evan, who has only continued to act frustratingly.
They even tried to make contact with the rebels, which only caused trouble.
Still, I’ve never had a major accident, so I took care of a few chestnuts and honey chestnuts.
So Evan was sent to the assistants and was eliminated from the evaluation.
“By the way, when will this end?”
The sun is slowly setting.
There was no clock, so it was difficult to know what time it was, but it was clear that the time had finally arrived.
“You should just rest… … .”
Rudy stumbled, trying to find a sunny stone around him.
Boo-woong
Then a small stone flew in.
“ah?”
Rudy found a flying stone.
but.
tight-
couldn’t avoid
He had used too much mana, and his body was in a state of disrepair, so he had no choice but to stare at the stone.
The stone hit Rudy’s head exactly, and Rudy was still there.
“Mr. Lee… … .”
fell down
“… … what?”
It was Yeniel who threw the stone.
Yeniel stepped forward and stared at Rudy, who had fallen under her feet.
“… … .”
It looked like there was a fierce fight, but I didn’t know that I would be defeated by an attack like this.
It was Yeniel who came only to confirm to some extent.

McDowell told me to get good grades, so Yeniel came to take on a challenge.
Of course, there was a fierce battle at the top, so I was planning to do some sloppy things, but I didn’t mean to win this outrageously.
Yeniel stared at Rudy, who had fallen, and ate his mouth.
“… … Whatever fell, it fell.”
beep profit
As Jeniel spoke to herself, a loud noise echoed through the mountain.
“Joint evaluation of grades 1 and 2. I will quit.”
***
“What is he doing?”
Cromwell watched Rudy’s situation with a puzzled expression.
Even if a dragon swept half of the mountain, even if Evan used a technique of an unbelievable scale, who would have known that Rudy, who had endured and fell on a single stone, would fall.
“Once you win the fight, you have to run away from there or do something.”
It was entirely Rudy’s fault.
If it wasn’t for Yeniel, whoever got there would have been in the same situation.
Rudy, who gave up after defeating Evan, was an idiot.
“It’s so ridiculous.”
The teaching assistants around him had the same expression as Cromwell.
The evaluation that Rudy showed was bold and wise enough to impress even the teaching assistants.
So what would you do?
Cromwell opened his mouth in dismay.
“First place is Yeniel. The principal will like it.”
Cromwell got up from his seat and looked at the assistants.
“Take care of the students. Heal the injured children. Rudy, send that idiot a good healing wizard. After waking up, I don’t want to feel unfairly looking at the wounds.”
“… … all right.”
So Cromwell and his assistants headed to the mountain where there was a joint evaluation.
