76 – Competition
A training ground on the mountain behind Bolridge Academy.
“Today, we will conduct a class battle!”
Professor Byron’s booming voice struck the ears of everyone in Class A.
‘it’s bothering.’
Since I have been quiet these days, this kind of event was not very welcome to Aren.
Professor Byron continued to shout.
“The rules are simple! The half that takes the opposing camp’s flag first wins! Everyone, look at the left chest of the mana coat!”
At Professor Byron’s words, the students looked at the mana stone attached to the left chest of the mana coat they were wearing.
“If the mana stones attached to the coat are broken! If all the mana is exhausted! That student will be eliminated! Do you understand!?”
“””yes!”””
“Well, then…”
Upon hearing the answer, Professor Byron’s eyes turned to the problem child.
“Aaron Valentine! Karl Valescia! Tia Cloud! Aren Difus! Come forward!”
“…?”
At the sudden call, Aren and the Aura Knights tilted their heads and gathered in front of Professor Byron.
“Two of you go to Class C.”
“why?”
Professor Byron frowned at Aren’s question.
“It’s out of balance.”

“You guys decide who goes.”
At Professor Byron’s words, the four of them looked at each other and began to think.
‘Class C…’
Aaron glanced at the back of Aren and Carol’s head and was lost in thought.
I was thinking of stepping on those two guys, but the opportunity rolled in.
I don’t really feel like moving to another class, but it seemed like a good choice if I could compete with them.
The moment I thought about that and tried to raise my hand.
“I’ll go.”
Aren raised his hand first and said.
Looking at Aren like that, Tia said as if she was absurd.
“What? Why do you decide so quickly?”
“Huh? What?”
“I have to think a little and decide.”
“Did you think about it? It’s better to go in the direction with higher probability.”
“… what?”
Not only Tia, but also Carol and Aaron reacted to Aren’s words.
“Aren, what do you mean?”
“huh?”
The atmosphere is strange.
When Carol suddenly asked a serious question, Aren was slightly taken aback.
“what?”
“Do you think class C wins?”
“Oh, that one?”
what else do i say
Aren said calmly.
“No, it’s not like that, it’s just what I think.”
“Why do you think so?”
This time Tia asked.
‘what?’
At some point, everyone in Class A was watching Aren.
At their attention, Aren scratched his head in embarrassment and said,
“No, that’s… I think…”
Every time he opened his mouth, the eyes of the students drew attention, so Aren felt uncomfortable and barely continued.
“Tail… seems to be the strongest in the first year…”
“……”
“……”
“……”
cheap
Has the temperature gone down?
It felt like it was really cold.
It was because the eyes of Tia, Carol, and Aaron changed as soon as he finished his words.
I started to distance myself from other students, as if they were feeling it too.
‘Did I just say that?’
Kids are more sensitive than you think.
Then Professor Byron said to the three of them.
“The other one, anyone, come out.”
At Professor Byron’s words, Tia looked at Carol and Aaron and said,
“I’ll stay, either one goes.”
“I’ll stay too.”
“I’m staying too.”
“……”
Three people glaring at each other.
“I said first! Either one of you go!”
“I’ll stay! Aaron you go!”
“Don’t be funny! Get out of sight!”
When the troublemakers began to quarrel, Professor Byron naturally began to glare at Aren.
‘sorry.’
Aren bowed his head to Professor Byron as if showing off.
Even in the midst of that, the Aurora Knights continued to fight.
“Aaron! You wanted to fight Carol! You go!”
“Before that, I decided to step on Aren! Get rid of Karl!”
“I had no intention of going to class C in the first place! You guys go!”
“Oh, I don’t know! I made it clear! I was the first to say I wasn’t going! You guys fight among yourselves!”
“Where is such a thing! I’m the A class president! I can’t go! Aaron, you go!”
“I said I’m not going. And Carol, does being the class president matter now? Then, as class president, why don’t you take the lead?”
‘Why are they like that?’
It’s really varied.
Aren was looking at the night guys as if they were pathetic, but Professor Byron, who was worse than him, started shouting.
“Stop!! These guys are fighting over what’s important! It’s not enough for just one person!”
Auror the nights shout.
“Important!”
“Of course it matters!”
“I’m not going!”
“These!?”
‘Is it secretly interesting?’
Aren looked around at the nights with a smile.
***
“Woo! Why me!?”
“Stop it.”
Aren and Tia were crossing the mountain side by side.
When one person was not decided even after time passed, it was decided to draw lots and Tia was caught.
Of course, Tia didn’t understand and argued with Professor Byron for a long time, but she couldn’t delay any longer, so she gave up and was walking towards Class C.
“Ah… Ha ha…”
“Is that enough?”
“Yeah, that’s about it.”
Tia, who lowered her head in disappointment for a moment, suddenly turned her gaze and began to stare at Aren.
“why?”
“I’m serious?”
“what?”
When Aren suddenly asked if he was serious, Tia continued.
“Do you think Tail Boiled is the strongest in the first year?”
“Ah, is that?”
Aren said with a smile.
“huh.”
“… really?”
“What are you lying about?”
Tia asked as if she couldn’t understand Aren’s words.
“Is Tails a night to come?”
“huh.”
“Really? That’s what I expected, but even so, I don’t think Tails will be the strongest.”
“Heh heh, you also saw Tails in the dungeon, right?”
At Aren’s words, Tia recalled what happened in the dungeon.
Even though he is an expert, he handles auras and overwhelms Baekho with one punch.
The tail at that time was certainly worthy of being called an aura night.
Aren said.
“Tail is a night now. It’s to the point where it’s a pity to compare it to then.”
“…breaking the limit?”
“that’s right.”
Breaking through the limits of the Boild family’s art.
It literally means to break through one’s limits.
However, in Aren’s view, this was not the level of breaking through the limits.
“I know from seeing Tail’s technique, breaking through the limits is a technique that only people from the Boyled family can use.”
“why?”
“The effect of breaking through the limits is so great that no one can use it. The people of the Boild family have different physical durability.”
It is different from the unlocking of Aren.
In the case of Aren, he was just doing his best, and Tail’s breakthrough seemed to go beyond the realm of the body.
“If I use Limit Break, all the bones in my body will be shattered?”
“…So you’re saying that the current Tail isn’t an ordinary Auror Knight?”
“That’s it.”
Aren nodded, and Tia asked, staring at his face again.
“Can’t you win too?”
“me?”
“you.”
“Hmm.”
After thinking for a while, Aren said calmly.
“I don’t have much confidence to win.”
“really?”
“I don’t have any confidence.”
“Phi, what is that?”
As if she liked Aren’s answer, Tia smiled and looked ahead.
“It’s all here.”
“Yes.”
Class C’s camp was visible.
“Huh? It’s Tia Cloud.”
“Really? Oh, there’s also Aren Deepus.”
“Oh oh.”
The class C students who found Aren and Tia started talking.
“Aren Deepus! Tia Cloud! Come this way!”
A man who appeared to be a professor called the two, and Aren and Tia walked to his side.
“Now! As you all know, these are Aren Deepus and Tia Cloud, who joined our team for this competition! Everyone, be careful not to be mistaken!”
“””yes!”””
After hearing the students’ answers, the professor looked at Aren and Tia and said,
“Then, the two of you should follow the class president’s instructions.”
‘Class monitor?’
According to the professor, when Aren was looking for the class president, there was a man approaching them.
“grow.”
“theory?”
“Yes, Tia, take care of me.”
‘sh*t?’
Ron Andrey stares at Aren.
“I didn’t know you were coming.”
“Unintentionally.”
“What are you talking about? You’re right, right?”
“Oh, is that so?”
As Tia said, Aren’s intention was correct.
Then Anna calls for Tia and approaches.
“Tia! Are they on the same team?”
“Yeah, Anna, please take care of me.”
“Ah~ We have to do the request~ Please take good care of me, Mr. Night~”
“Um, leave it to me.”
Ron interrupted as Anna and Tia were having a playful conversation.
“Tia, come with me.”
“Yes? OK, Aren?”
At Tia’s words, Ron glanced at Aren and said nonchalantly.
“Do as you please.”
“huh.”
“… what, is that the end?”
Tia said with a slightly displeased expression.
“Ron, are these instructions right?”
“… no.”
When Tia spoke in an uncomfortable tone, Ron immediately corrected his words.
“Go with Tail.”
“huh.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tails was approaching.
“Hey, Tale.”
“Why you?”
“Are you complaining?”
“… I think something will bother me.”
‘Does it feel good?’
It seemed like it would be better not to let them know that Carol and Aaron’s goal in Class A was Tail.
“Do you feel good?”
‘huh? Sound in my mind?’
When the words he thought came out exactly, Aren flinched and looked in the direction of the sound.
There, Tia was laughing and pointing at Aren while talking.
“Tale, because of you…”
chop
While Tia was doing nothing, Aren hurriedly shut her mouth.
“to?”
“Why? You were just trying to say it was because of me?”
“huh.”
“Huh? Going crazy, why is it my fault? You guys…”
“Clean your hands.”
While Aren was talking to Tia, Ron Andrei started glaring at him with bloody eyes.
‘Oops, are you really going to attack me?’
Aren carefully removed his hand from Tia’s mouth.
Then Ron hurried over and held out a handkerchief to Tia.
“Tia, wipe it.”
“Huh? You didn’t ask anything?”
“Wipe it.”
Ron forcibly grabbed Tia’s face and began wiping it off with a handkerchief.
While I was looking at the scene in disbelief, Tail came up to me and said.
“What have you done?”
“…why do you think I did something?”
“Then didn’t you do anything? Then it’s good, but be prepared if I find out later.”
“I’ll tell you in advance, but it’s not my fault, actually…”
From noble mtl dot com
Aren hurriedly began to explain what had happened in class A.
Anna, who was listening to Aren’s explanation, said with an absurd expression.
“So you’re saying that Carol and Aaron are aiming for Tails?”
“huh.”
“Why did you do that? Are you a spy?”
“With just this much information, what about a spy? And I stole and listened to what they were talking about, but it seems that the one who found Tail first decided to fight.”
“Keuuu~ Originally, I was going to fight!”
As if Tia was sorry for Aren’s words, she looked at Tails and expressed her disappointment.
Then, Taylor smiled and said.
“Well, that’s not particularly wrong.”
“what?”
When Tia asked, Tail said calmly.
“That I’m the strongest in the first year.”
“… Ho-oh?”
oh oh oh
When the two suddenly start a nervous war, Anna speaks as if it is absurd.
“Why are you on the same side fighting each other?”
“It was like that in class A, so why not say it here?”
Aren said calmly.
said Ron, who was lost in thought at the time.
“Anyway, this can be called great information. Taking the flag isn’t difficult if you use it well.”
“Operation?”
Ron frowned at Aren’s question, but began to explain whether he knew how to distinguish between public and private life.
“It will depend on how Class A moves, but this match will be simpler than I thought.”
“why?”
“Because there is a night.”
At Ron’s words, Aren and Tia nodded their heads.
Usually, there is no auronite in the first year competition.
No matter how good it was, the expert was the limit.
However, in this matchup, there are 4 Aura Night class monsters.
When this happens, the story is simple.
“I’ll form a group around the Aura Knights and engage in guerrilla or defensive battles.”
At Tia’s words, Ron nodded.
“Yes, in the case of a defensive battle, we will gather all the Aura Knights and reduce the number of people on our side. From what you guys say, it seems that they will come to the guerrilla side…”
Ron continued talking while glaring at Aren.
“In the event of an attack, I was thinking of attaching the two supporters to the Aura Knights and arranging Tails, which has not been officially announced yet, as a separate unit to attack the A-class camp.”
However, Aren has already said that the strongest in the first year is Tail.
It’s the same situation as if you openly say it’s a night to come.
After listening to the story for a while, Aren tilted his head and said.
“But isn’t that a bit reckless?”
“What do you mean?”
When Tail asked, Aren said calmly.
“There are three Aura Knights in Class A, right?”
“…?”
“…?”
‘huh?’
When everyone did not understand what he said, Aren began to explain further.
“So, even if I and Tia take on two Aura Knights, there’s only one left? No matter how tail it is, if the mana coat is broken, you’re eliminated. How do you beat the students with one Aura Knight?”
“What are you talking about?”
said Ron, frowning.
“Currently, there are two Aurunites in Class A.”
“What are you talking about… Ah!”
Aren said as if he remembered.
“You guys don’t know?”
“What the hell do you not know?”
Tia asked angrily this time, and Aren shrugged.
“It’s night for Kana to come too.”
“……?”
“……?”
“It’s night for Kana to come too.”
Aren spoke again.
