Theo & Irene and Andrew & Sally came up on the pitch.
‘It’s finally starting.’
Haley was excited.
The other spectators felt the same way.
“Theo! Theo! A true warrior, an honored orc! Theo Lin Walderk!”
“You must inherit Nok’tar’s will, Theo! Don’t lose to the wretched wizard!”
“Irene! Just like before, show the Braves Faculty the power of the head of the Knights Division!”
“Cold-blooded knight Irene fighting!”
“Andrew! Andrew Jackson! Genius Wizard!”
“Dear Andrew! Bake that bastard’s ugly face, Theo! Don’t let the therapist even treat you!”
“Uh, is that girl familiar with something? Isn’t she a part-timer at a new hot dog restaurant in the Brave School?”
“Oh, that’s right. Cheer up, part-timer! I remember the last time I gave you three ketchup!”
“Sally, cheer up~ Don’t get hurt!”
At the same time, a man with a sharp impression wearing a hoodie also returned to the audience.
‘After Theo’s round of 16 match, he left immediately…’
Haley glanced at the man.
He’s still wearing a hood, so he can’t see his expression, but it seems that the man is…
‘I’m going to have to talk to him this time.’
As Haley looked over the pitch with that thought in mind, Marie exclaimed in a cheerful voice.
[···Have you waited a long time? Now let’s start the match! The long-awaited quarterfinals, the first match is Theo & Irene team and Andrew & Sally team!]
* * *
While waiting for the match to start, I strengthened [the observer’s eye] with the [amplifier sphere].
And as soon as the match started, I ran straight to Andrew and said,
“Irene, just like I said, stay close to me and follow me!”
“I know!”
Irene clings to her side and runs towards Andrew as well.
This strategy has already been discussed with Irene.
A strategy to induce distraction like the Seria team won’t work. They won’t cast any magic on us beyond the status of their own organs.
Andrew has some blind spots, but when it comes to magic, he can be called a genius.
In addition, the practical evaluation of the Department of Heroes is all about actual combat.
Naturally, Andrew’s sense of action is far superior to that of Seria.
Above all, he was severely beaten by Noctar during the last practical skill competition evaluation. Since we were on the same team in the previous ‘Dungeon Exploration’, you must know my habits to some extent.
Of course, it was after I figured out all those fine details.
“Whoa.”
Irene and I quickly approached Andrew.
At that time, the fireball flew at high speed.
It’s fast, but it’s not to the point where you can’t see it with the enhanced [Observer’s Eye].
“It’s on the left, Irene!”
“yes!”
We avoided the fireball flying to the left.
Another fireball is flying in the escape route.
‘After all, this was the aim.’
Also, people don’t change.
It is the same pattern as in the previous noctar.
It’s commendable that I didn’t cast magic over the status quo, but…
‘It’s me who makes it to the quarterfinals, Andrew.’
I spread my right hand to the flying fireball.
And I used [Neutral Magic].
The fireball, which has enough destructive power to break the barrier of the dome stadium of the Braves School, which is not damaged by any magic, disappears as soon as it touches my palm.
“Woah, what!”
Andrew’s high-pitched voice is heard.
You’d be surprised.
This kind of fireball can’t be stopped with Jang Woo-hee’s [Magic Nullification].
But I have a whopping mana stat of 0.
“Let’s go, Irene!”
“yes!”
We arrived right in front of Andrew.
I looked forward quietly.
Andrew entered the reach of the Dalian Longsword.
Andrew looked at me with subtle eyes.
“·················Theo, you surprise me every time. But that’s my prediction!”
Peeing.
Andrew casts a huge barrier.
Quang, quat!
Me and Irene immediately knocked on the barrier.
However, it was only scratched, and it was difficult to break it.
It was quite solid.
“Ha-ha-ha! I can’t break it with that much!”
Andrew had a somewhat fishy smile that resembled me.
* * *
Inside the barrier, Andrew immediately prepared the next fireball.
The first one was avoided, and the second was eliminated with a strange ability, but it would be unavoidable at this distance.
You won’t be able to react.
Crunchy, pretzel!
Theo and Irene beat the barrier one after another.
‘If it’s that much, I can last one more minute.’
But the barrier is doing its part.
It’s not a spell that was used in haste, it’s a barrier that was intensively reinforced after being hit by Noctar during the previous practical skill match evaluation.
‘After all, I’m not wrong.’
At that time, Irene, who was beating the barrier, tried to dig into Andrew’s back.
“I’ll deal with you!”
Sally with a spear immediately followed Irene.
*
*
*
If they have the same skill, the spear will win the battle between the spear and the sword if possible.
Needless to say, the difference in reach is huge.
In this Kairenje and Continent, the swordsmanship and swordstrength that can increase the reach are almost non-existent because they are close to mystical abilities.
In any case, the window has the upper hand.
Irene’s weapon is a long sword for fighting, which is only about 1/2 the length of a spear.
Sally used her spear’s rich advantage to counter Irene, who was trying to break into Andrew’s back.
“How is it, Irene! I’ve grown a lot, haven’t I?”
Irene is a first-year student in the Knights Faculty, everyone’s utopia.
He said he would defeat him someday, but no one except Julia could even go half-and-half with Irene.
Sally has a docile personality, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a desire to win.
Sally couldn’t get close and saw Irene, who was desperate to avoid her stab, and felt a sense of satisfaction rising from the depths of her heart.
‘If it goes like this…’, can I really beat Irene?’
Cold-blooded knight Irene Aslan.
The next successor to the Aslan family, a renowned swordsman in the entire continent.
Catching him is more of a medal than simply winning the round of 16 match.
This victory might make you feel the realization that ‘I can do it too!’
With that in mind, Sally gives a daring stab—
“I’ve been waiting for you.”
Irene, who slammed the spear strongly, went straight into Sally’s arms.
In a battle between a spear and a sword, the spear wins whenever possible.
However, this is a story of the same ability to the last.
Irene is a talented person who far surpasses Sally.
Nevertheless, Irene carefully waited for Sally’s target.
“Uh, huh?!”
Looking down at Irene who had suddenly dug in, Sally hurriedly pulled back.
However, Irene had already approached Sally’s breathing. And didn’t miss the chance.
Irene did the same stabbing while avoiding Sally’s stab again.
A stab that starts from the thigh and targets the abdomen, shoulder, and wrist in succession.
Even with a long sword for blunt fighting, the inability to make the opponent incapacitate in battle at once.
Although the time was fleeting, Irene attacked all of Sally’s weaknesses. True to the nickname of the cold-blooded knight, with a cold face.
‘······easy.’
In order to save Theo from Noctar, it feels like he has broken the shell that has been imprisoned after he succeeded in a nameless stab.
“This… profit!”

Feeling an intense pain in her wrist, Sally missed the spear in her hand.‘I lost, I lost. It’s like this…’
If you were a student of the Knights Faculty, you would hear a scab in your ear.
—To lose a weapon is to lose.
Yes.
Sally was defeated.
But you can’t even defeat the team.
If Irene joins Andrew’s side at this rate, he will lose unconditionally.
“Ugh, ooh!”
While Sally tries to catch her spear as she hurriedly falls from the air.
Pop!
Irene’s long sword for sparring hit Sally’s side in the head.
Sally is human.
Unlike Orcs, there are no defense-related characteristics such as [Hard Skin].
dump.
Sally collapsed, bleeding from the side of her head.
“great job.”
Irene kicked Sally off the pitch.
out of the way
Even if luckily Sally does come back, she can’t be involved in this match anymore.
“Sally!”
Andrew, who was blocking Theo’s attack with a barrier at the sight, called out Sally’s name.
But Sally, who had fallen, did not get up.
“Both of you, I will not leave you alone.”
Andrew sighed, raising all his mana.
‘It’s still an unfinished technology…’
It is impossible to catch Theo with magic or fireballs, except in a weak state.
“Sally. I will keep the promise I made to win.”
He scraped off even a handful of leftovers from his body, and the mana he raised resonated with Andrew’s will.
“……Whoa.”
Andrew has the [Master of Mana] trait.
Correspondingly, a magic that could not be called a first-year level, and called a vision, was cast.
“Fire field.”
Burning flames of flames engulfed the arena.
Touman would of been proud of Theo
