61 – 61. Class Placement Test (3)
The urging of a rather hot-tempered professor continues. No. Would it be right to say that they just touched the wrong one?
“Is it all out, you bastards?”
─Yes…
It was obvious which direction Professor Denise’s sharp words were headed.
It’s not me, it’s those guys. Of course, I don’t know what he’s trying to do by asking me to follow him.
‘The place is… A campus.’
Since the group of students were all concentrated on this side, spectators began to gather in the middle of the campus.
Otherwise, Professor Denis borrowed what another student asked for.
“Magic Badge…?”
“As far as weapons? What is it?”
A magic badge and weapon commonly used in Dalian.
A magic badge that is used to prevent killing, and when it absorbs a certain amount of magic power, it changes color, then spreads a defensive formation to protect life and completely disappears.
Not particularly surprising. What does it mean to bring it to this situation now?
“Shouldn’t you prove your skills here? Pick the thirteen strongest ones there.”
“I understand you want to prove your skills in sparring. But why are we fighting each other?”
“What are you saying? Your opponent is Junon. Shouldn’t you know straight away whether this guy deserves class A or not?”
13 People. The number 13: 1 and a magical power badge that is not a Talbrut arc.
I didn’t think so, but it could be considered a replica of the welcome sparring.
“The rules match the illusion sparring. Weapons are free. If Junon defeats one guy, you have to deal with the next one. Do you have any objections?”
“Wait a minute. Could it be that he is in a position to take the Dalian test?”

“By the way. Why? Complaints?”
“Puha… No, it’s perfect.”
You can see what’s going on in your head, you bastard. You must be thinking how to cook me.
Professor Denis is also snoring at them.
“By the way. Shouldn’t we bet something beforehand in case we get caught?”
“…What?”
And they finally crossed the line.
The sound of laughter filled the place, loud enough to be heard by passers-by.
I don’t think it’s because of my mood that the laughter felt bloody for some reason.
“Would you bet on me now? Are you going to make a bet?”
“It’s a matter of honor for us too. That way, we deserve something too.”
“I have 13 heads, but that’s about it… Yes. Let’s make a bet.”
Professor Denis seemed to have noticed their intentions, so he tried to drive in the nails first. Even with the confidence that I will never lose.
“If I lose, I’ll take responsibility for this guy’s class A. And, he’ll cancel everything he’s been teaching up until now. Now, what do you guys want to bet on?”
“You seem to be overdoing it with the obvious results.”
“Maybe he’s deliberately taking our side?”
“If we lose, I’ll bow down straight to him and apologize. Okay? Well, I don’t think we’ll lose.”
Drinking kimchi soup is a very special level. But you should have attacked while watching the opponent.
“No. You bastard.”
“…Yes?”
“This is the guy I used to teach with my honor as the head researcher of the Imperial Family. Should I bet something bigger than that?”
Even though Professor De Nis couldn’t directly interfere with her school affairs, she still had a justification for being here.
I am staying here because I have declared that I will choose the students I want to teach.
Now they are slowly realizing the seriousness.
“Then what do we…”
“That guy is alone. He’s a commoner representative. Don’t you understand?”
“Now… I can’t…”
“You mean to bow down, not just Junon, but all the commoners on campus?!”
“Not at the waist. Here. You should really f*ck it right?”
Denice’s index finger touches a student’s forehead and pushes him away.
You might object to why he touched his forehead in a bad way, but more than that, the action was so blatant.
“Can’t we tell that guy… No, beyond that, to all the commoners…”
“You mean bow your head?!”
“No, you’re talking too much!!!”
Aristocrats consider it humiliating to even bow down to a commoner.
The higher the rank, the stronger this tendency, and even a single defeat is shameful and ridiculed.
It is unacceptable for them to bow their heads like that. Even if there is a momentary defeat, he does not bow his head.
Sometimes it’s to the extent of grinding my teeth and slightly bending my back. Because?
It won’t be long before you retaliate, forcing your opponent to bow down again and solidifying your position.
Pretending to admit it and bowing down was a secret sign used among high-ranking aristocrats, saying, ‘I will trample this guy with my stomach.’
But to hit the head above the waist means that you will submit in an attitude of submission just like them.
“Why? Are you afraid now? You can bring down half of that guy, but can’t you just hit the head with the commoners you’ve been ignoring so much?”
“That doesn’t pay off…!”
“That’s right. This is far-fetched!”
“Don’t be a jerk. You guys bet your honor, but this is the student I taught with my middle name and was criticized. Then where did the honor of my middle name go?”
“That’s…”
Of course you won’t be able to answer.
Professor Denis’s middle name Plovel is not to be touched lightly.
Because it is a middle name bestowed by none other than Artena, the emperor of the empire.
It is common for even those with a middle name to be bestowed with a certain achievement, but if it is a name given by the emperor of the empire, there are not even 10 of them.
Ardelion Archduke. Grandmother of the Duke of Lantana. In addition, the number one person in the academic field and even the prime minister of the imperial family.
Those guys properly touched the person standing shoulder to shoulder with them.
“Then it’s okay to win, right? Where did the confident self go?”
“”…””
Is there such a thing as reason for these guys?
No. If I had even the slightest bit of rationality, I would have suppressed my pride.
“Don’t be shaken. If you don’t want to lose, we just have to win. It’s that simple.”
“Yes. Because he is the only one…”
“No matter how hard it is, it’s only one person, and even that Junon. Just win as you do.”
Are you thinking of accepting and responding to the fact that the water has already been spilled?
The guys got together and started selecting people to participate in the sparring.
“Oh, you’ve made a big deal.”
“You need to trample on them to come to their senses. But I can’t come out.”
“…If that’s the case, there will be a lot of uproar. It’s the first time I’ve heard that he even took a middle name.”
“You’ll get some nagging from Meuniher later, but it doesn’t matter. And, you’re confident that you can win this much, right?”
“But shouldn’t you give me some time to rest? I just came out after robbing the professor.”
“You can call it a handicap, Junon. I don’t think you’ll lose anyway.”
Well, the answer is fixed.
This is a forbidden tower forcibly built by the aristocratic coalition and their descendants to enjoy infinite wealth and glory.
This tilted tower must be shaken from below to collapse.
“Please call the children. Call them in advance to avoid suffering.”
“Whoops. It’s good to have a lot of onlookers. Is there anything else you want?”
“Enough.”
In the past, I might have hesitated. I thought I needed to do something that stood out.
But now is the time to protect the honor of Professor Denis, who teaches me, and to continue teaching.
As a bonus, it would be better if you dampened their spirits a bit.
Finally, it’s also a chance to test myself.
***
13 Magical power badges were attached to the clothes of 13 selected people.
To him, who was in Class E, all 13 were familiar faces.
But you don’t even wear school uniforms or training clothes?
The first hitter was the one who pretended to slit his neck with his thumb to Junon, saying that there was no need for such a thing.
Eat this with a mean smile! The moment he said that, his magic completely dissipated.
“What, what?”
“What did you do to me earlier? Was it like this?”
As if there was no need to exert effort, it was Junon who returned the feigns that the opponent had shown right in front of him.
“What the hell is this bastard doing…!!”
I draw Jin again and again, but the magic of the guy who makes it disappears after being ejected.
The bewildered face was very unsightly. Junon approached him with a calm face and fired one punch at the guy.
“Gagging!”
A kneeling elemental mage and a vanguard looking down at him.
The situation is leaning to one side.
“You son of a b*tch… I can use zero-range magic! I won’t let anyone take it anymore…!”
I was going to try it, but the magic circle was drawn again this time.
“I’m the one watching. I still can’t figure out the subject.”
He knows very well that the original way is to twist the magic of the body using the principle of Anti-Cast.
But it doesn’t end even though you can easily see the end here.
“Billion! Ugh! Ugh!!”
-Puck, puck!
The sound of being beaten and the opponent unable to resist.
Only a few of the spectators who know his skills smile softly, while the rest stare at this absurd scene with a frozen or hard expression.
The guy who looked down on Junon, saying he would end it with a one-sided attack, fought hard and resisted, but was unable to overcome the difference.
Did you use anti-cast? No.
I fainted unable to overcome the pain from the physical attack. In a state where you can no longer make a sound.
More cruel. As a result of the more one-sided beating, the noble son’s face was stained with blood.
After wiping the blood from his fist onto the expensive cloth the opponent wore, he lifted the hem of the opponent’s clothes.
– Plopped.
“Next.”
With a grave expression, the remaining 12 threw the opponent made of blood in the direction of the line.
Those who saw it gave goosebumps all over their bodies.
Students, who had not even had the slightest hope, started screaming when they saw this ridiculous upset.
─Wow!!!!!!
Indeed, the perfect baseline control.
The shouting commoners and lower class students were enthusiastic about the incident, and Princess Ophelia, who had come as a referee, was also laughing in her heart.
“If it’s normal, you should take a 5-minute break after dealing with one person, but your skills are at this level, so you don’t have to rest yet.”
Once again, the sound of cheers echoed, and a group of nobles from the allied side glared at each other with frowns as they gritted their teeth.
There was a fixed axis of support for this replica couple, and the joys and sorrows were sharply divided by this vicious performance.
Of course, there is no way the other side can see that.
“At least once is the limit, you son of a b*tch!!”
The second batsman strikes out with enthusiasm. However, he is also going through the same procedure as the first one.
“…What?”
“What are you doing! Let the magic fly!”
“Ah, no… That’s… It’s fine as far as drawing camps, but it seems to be blocked by something while firing…”
“So what bullsh*t is that!!!”
“You’re not doing it right?! You’re trying to damage the noble’s honor!!”
“You can even play around, man!!”
The remaining 11 of the 13 are going crazy because they can’t understand what happened again.
That was the same for the second hitter who was suddenly blocked by himself even if he used magic now.
“Consultation during sparring is prohibited. If the same action continues one more time, a penalty will be imposed.”
Ophelia stepped forward and restrained the jacket, and they closed their mouths again.
There was no difference between the first and the second. Strangely, their attack failed to fire at Junon.
When I let him taste the spicy blood with one bloody punch, he screamed in fright.
“Ha, surrender! Surrender!!!”
“What is that crazy bastard saying!”
“Fight straight! Are you still a noble?”
“What can I do when my magic doesn’t work! Junon…? Stop hitting me because I lost. Huh? Surrender!”
Except for the two who directly dealt with Junon, the rest of the people who watched from behind were speechless and only suppressed their anger.
Surrender. Admitting defeat is comfortable and good. But.
“Keah!! Why, why!!”
“How can you live without knowing the rules of Dalian?”
“What are you talking about! According to the rules of Dalian, once the magic badge turns red or the surrender is declared, it’s over!!”
“The rules of this matchup follow the rules of the matchup of illusions, so regardless of the magic badge, it ends when the opponent is knocked down.”
Princess Ophelia, who was in charge of the referee, answered the sparring rules very kindly.
Yes. The point is that since the rules of welcome sparring are strictly followed, the opponent must be completely knocked out.
Thus, in order for those who stare at Dalian to reach victory, they must make the opponent unable to move.
“Did you hear that? Let’s hit you too.”
“Mi, crazy… This is bullsh*t. Nonsense… Lee Iik!!!”
“Oh. You want to fight with your body?”
As if nothing could be done with magic, he dragged his pitiful body and threw heavy fists.
However, due to training and hardening, there is no way that rootless fist can reach Junon.
From noble mtl dot com
“aaah!!!”
It easily breaks the opponent’s center of gravity by grabbing the wrist and walking the foot.
And then, a scream echoed with a clatter.
From the natural series of processes to the unnecessary final action.
The scene of overpowering a wizard who had never used his body properly with only chessmanship must have been the most exhilarating scene for the vanguard who had been so ignored.
“Oops! Whoops! Oops!”
─Wow!!!
Cheers only grow, and those who snort and ignore are becoming more and more mute.
As if it didn’t take much effort to defeat the two, Junon was still brisk.
As if the blood on his cheek was dirty, he wiped it off with the back of his hand, then opened his mouth again.
“What are you doing? All the bastards who were trying to attack were scared and jumped out?”
The two fell miserably. Who will be next The battle between the remaining ones has begun.
They were even more frightened as they watched the two people, whose faces were swollen and covered in blood from being brutally beaten, in front of their eyes.
Then, as if he barely managed to roll his head, he asked for time to discuss.
5 Minutes is given fairly to each practitioner, so it was their intention to earn some time.
“Ah. Can’t we just do it quickly? We’ll all get hit the same anyway.”
“But the big one is coming. Let’s wait a little longer.”
“I feel like I’ve lived so far to see this today…”
Audiences watching Dalian used to say that waiting time like now is boring.
For the avant-garde students of the lower class, who had lived through sorrow, this sparring was exhilarating itself, so it was understandable.
However, the sparring that judged those who committed one-sided violence ended here.
“What are you doing right now after intruding into sparring. Professor Nurbel.”
“As an academy student, I want to take responsibility and rebuke those who commit wrongdoing as a professor.”
***
Most of the students who want to stop this sparring must be the ‘that side’ class who want to deny the defeat of the aristocratic, distant mage.
However, there are virtually no students who can infiltrate during sparring. Because Princess Ophelia is serving as the referee and mediating.
Thus, even if it was a replica, if it resulted in the defeat of the nobility, they would try to stop it in any way.
– Jjaak! Match!
“What an ugly thing to a student in training, and to Countess Beryl! Are you guys still academy students!”
Professor Nubbel mercilessly slappes the 11 remaining opponents on the cheek. Since the example and actions must match, it must be such a shallow trick that he mobilizes actions that he would not have normally done.
The fact that a person who normally did not even fulfill his duties as a professor stepped forward is proof that they are also quite urgent.
But it seems to be enough, so I can’t stop it. Nominally, it wasn’t a wrong move.
There was a reason that even though Princess Ophelia and Professor Denis and the few others understood Professor Navel’s dark intentions, they did not stop him.
“…We will stop the welcome sparring as it is.”
A short conversation takes place between Professor Nubelle and Princess Ophelia, and in the end, this sparring concludes with an end.
‘You should know this well. That the avant-garde you’ve been ignoring so much isn’t weak.’
Junon thought it would be enough if those who watched this could remember that much.
The students in the lower class revealed their true feelings one by one as soon as the aristocratic class and their professors left.
“It’s cool, Junon! It’s a pity, but thank you for taking revenge on the guy who touched me!”
“I felt refreshed inside. I really liked that he broke the prejudice that he couldn’t be a avant-garde.”
“Thank you, senior…”
Commons. The fact that Class E’s Junon, who is said to be the weakest vanguard, thoroughly defeated two nobles proved that they were not wrong.
Some of them confided their emotions. It would be nice to help out here.
“You were able to survive against that number of Osoptera because you worked hard. Cheer up, you bastards.”
The buzz stopped for an instant, and the thrilled guys once again became enthusiastic, revealing their joy without hiding it.
There is nothing more dangerous than those guys losing their fighting spirit, but somehow it seems they have recovered well.
Besides, this must have been enough to give Sylvia what she wanted.
“Are you satisfied, Professor Denis?”
“I did it right, but it’s a pity that the interrupter appeared. Everything else is ok. You worked hard.”
“Then, since you’ve worked out a bit, please buy me something delicious.”
Professor Denis smiled and asked if he was already thinking of give and take.
“Well, I’d like to thank you for pouring it so well this time. I think I’ll have to buy it next time.”
“Hmm? Why next?”
As far as I’ve heard, Professor Meuniher was called in to see a good sighting, but he delayed and postponed it.
I was busy, but I didn’t want to make time for nothing, so I said hello to Professor Denis, who promised to make an appointment for the next time. Today’s class… I guess I should say it’s over.
After leaving behind the students who had regained their motivation and vitality for their studies, a girl holding out a towel and smiling stood there.
“You’ve worked hard. You’re feeling refreshed?”
“I see.”
“Actually, it would have been more fun if Professor Nubbel hadn’t come to interrupt.”
Sylvia was quite satisfied with this situation.
***
“Is it reverse calculation…? No. It’s not. If you do reverse calculation correctly, it will be canceled, but that’s like it disappeared after bumping into something…”
It didn’t look like he played any kind of trick on the opponent’s magic circle.
“Then, a barrier installed so that it disappears exactly at the same time as ejection… I wonder. No. Even that makes me wonder. Among them, there was zero-distance magic, right?”
It is a skill that seems to have very difficult conditions.
Offset the opponent’s magic with the exact amount of magic.
A barrier installed to prevent the magic from leaking out.
Until this point, I could understand. Assuming it’s his unique magic, it’s quite possible.
However, zero-distance magic is an exception. Unless it prevents the opponent’s magic itself from being used.
Such technology can exist as well. It would be possible if he used the property of mana repelling each other, or twisted the opponent’s circuit with the flow of mana. It’s going to be a pretty complicated operation.
But one last thing. Something else causes a contradiction.
“Oh, my head hurts just thinking about it.”
Someone who had been watching Junon closely was muttering to himself.
