After telling Lutis that he would participate in the anti-ban battle in a way other than a 4-player battle, the board grew rapidly.

With Beatrix’s participation in the war, the eyes of the continent beyond the empire were already focused on the academy, but oil, which took the final content with the sword, joins? Of course, the aftermath was hot. As much as the eyes of the continent were focused, rumors spread quickly.

“There was an opinion that this class competition should be held like a club fair.”

“Like a club fair, you mean?”

“Yes. We would like to open the academy to outsiders, just like during the fair.”

The result is this. There was a situation where adults couldn’t participate in simple children’s play, so they were impatient.

‘It must be crazy.’

Seeing the principal drinking tea calmly, opening the academy to outsiders is virtually certain. When the head of the academy expresses his opinion in front of the inspector, it means that the thread has been taken that way.

Since this has been confirmed in the first place, the principal can be calm. Considering the confusion and annoyance caused by the sudden opening of the academy, the principal must have wanted to somehow dismiss the opinion of opening the academy. Giving up on that would mean that there is no going back from the principal’s line.

‘You made up your mind.’

The culprit can be roughly guessed. It must have been the work of the crown prince. If the Crown Prince personally gave instructions to the Minister of Education, the principal would have no choice.

It’s funny that a person the size of the crown prince is only involved in an academy event, but isn’t it a situation where Beatrix and I simultaneously show off our strength in front of the public? It seems like they are trying to get the maximum effect by increasing the number of visitors as much as possible.

‘Bastard.’

I should have noticed from the time I was talking about thousand people and all, but I didn’t expect you to be this serious.

It is fortunate that this clown play is a one-off event that will end this year. If you do an event like this too often, that’s how it goes down in rank.

“…The principal must have put in a lot of effort.”

He suppressed his bitter feelings and gave the principal a heartfelt consolation. To be honest, all I have to do is swing my sword, but the principal will have a hard time managing countless outsiders. If there is a commotion at the academy, the principal is ultimately responsible.

“It’s okay. As principal, I’m glad I can shake off the academy’s prestige.”

However, when I saw the principal smiling faintly in the midst of that, I bowed my head involuntarily.

If you think about it, last year was also last year, but this year was also a turbulent year for the principal. As Beatrix came to the academy, countless wizards submitted applications for admission, visited the club fair, and when I split the sky, students from Armain came… It was an unbelievable incident that occurred in just one year.

It is true that the status of the Imperial Academy will be elevated by that much——but it is also true that the old headmaster rolled over like a dog. The comfortable last years disappeared with a brilliant light.

“I’m sure you will be remembered as the one and only principal in the academy.”

That’s why I carefully brought out words of consolation.

I hope my words will bring some comfort to this old civil servant.

“It makes my heart flutter just to hear it. Thank you, Minister.”

I flinched at the word minister, but my heart did not change.

The principal’s burden is too heavy to be offended by mere titles.

For academy students, class competition was an event where it was customary to move around a bit and watch at leisure. No matter how hard you try, it’s a class competition where the class of the third-year students with the noblest status wins the final championship.

Although last year, students with overwhelming nobility took over in the first year, and the custom briefly collapsed, but in fact, there were no victims except for a small number of first year students. It is the students of that class who have to roll for the victory of the noble student, not the students of other classes and grades.

But this year, everyone became a victim. It has become a situation where I have to roll regardless of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades.

“When it’s an academy-only event, it’s okay to act according to custom, but outsiders from all over the continent don’t know the conventions. As a nobleman, you can’t be dishonest.”

I nodded at Mar’s kind explanation.

Outsiders who will come from all over the continent, even high-ranking or prestigious swordsmen or wizards. Acting recklessly in front of such people is an act of undermining one’s reputation and an insult to outsiders. Thanks to this, all the students threw away their customs and became berserkers.

And it was an unavoidable fate that the student council, which had to control the students who had become berserkers, was in trouble. It’s not like Marr is giving an awkward smile for nothing.

“I don’t know if I’m bothering Marr for nothing.”

“No. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t hard, but in return, if the reputation of the sword increases, I can do it as much as I want.”

Marr’s bashful smile calmed her burning heart in the pit of fire. Isn’t the temperature difference too extreme for the crown prince to be the first and Mar to cover it?

“If Beatrix hears it, she’ll be a little sad.”

Anyway, let’s crack a joke while watching Marr like that—

“Her sister’s reputation has nowhere to rise, right? You’ll understand.”

Similarly, the joke-filled reply came back and both I and Mar burst into laughter.

Yes, Beatrix has no more fame to rise. For nearly 100 years, he lived as the highest authority in a field, so it’s natural. In terms of games, wouldn’t it have already been fixed at 99999?

“So is he. Then I’ll have to work hard to do Beatrix’s part.”

A small commitment to raise fame up to the share of Beatrix, who reached the peak of fame. At that promise, Mar also smiled even deeper.

I’m not a duke, but there’s no way I’ll be called a sword master who forms a set with the demon master, but I think I’ll get a title like a swordsman through this incident. Of course, even if you give the title of Sword King or Sword Emperor, you will not receive it. Because it seems like a lot of rebellion.

After that, while we were still talking about the match between Mar and her class, I heard a familiar voice from beyond the door of her president’s office.

“Mar, it’s me. May I come in?”

‘Oh.’

Just in time, the topic of conversation, Beatrix, appeared.

“Yes, sister. Come in.”

Mardo opened her eyes wide for a moment, and then opened her mouth, as if it were strange that Beatrix had come too scared to talk about herself.

With Mar’s permission granted, Beatrix entered and looked at me and smiled softly.

“The baby was here too.”

“It’s me, that’s where I’m going from there.”

I answered naturally, but something is strange. Beatrix’s words just now were not a simple greeting, but a nuance as if they had just met.

What is it, is Beatrix looking for me? I’m the type to share the things I want to say every day, so I’m sure there aren’t any.

“I was going to discuss it with Marr first, but since we’re all together, let’s talk right away.”

Watching that I blinked blankly, Beatrix sat down next to me and continued with a calm voice.

“Didn’t you say you were going to cut the sky at the closing ceremony?”

“Ah, yes. If I use it before that, I think people won’t be able to concentrate on the game.”

Although it is a class competition that has grown out of control, the essence is an event for academy students. No matter when you cut the sky, if you have no choice but to pull aggro, it would be right to do it after the students’ schedule is over.

Beatrix nodded briefly as if he agreed with that thought.

“Then, why don’t we do it together rather than alone? After a four-person battle, I can afford it.”

“Together?”

“Yes, together.”

And then the next words—I opened my mouth involuntarily at the joint performance between Beatrix and I during the closing ceremony.

“Oh, sister, are you serious?”

Even Marr stuttered and reconfirmed. Perhaps, if the opponent wasn’t Beatrix, the question of whether or not he was crazy would come out.

It was such an outrageous proposal. An idea that can’t be imagined by a person with ordinary values.

“There is no problem with safety. It couldn’t be more fancy from the outside.”

However, the existence in front of Marr’s eyes is the Prince of Majong, who is far from ordinary. A being above the sky that makes the abnormal normal and the normal abnormal.

Anyway, Mar’s eyes trembled at Beatrix’s stern reply, and she turned to me. As if begging the country to dry up too.

“…….”

“Knife…?”

I quietly avoided Mar’s gaze.

‘That works?’

To that extent, Beatrix’s proposal was an intriguing one. If someone else had said it, I would have immediately said, ‘Are you crazy?’, But Beatrix, not someone else, said, ‘There is no problem with safety.’ Didn’t you admit it? Besides, as I promised, there will be no performance more spectacular than that.

…My heart is pounding. I don’t really want to be a clown, but if the crown prince has to roll on the board, I want to show a really crazy performance. That way, the prince would be frightened and he would never have to do something like this again.

“It’s really safe, right?”

“Knife!?”

I’m sorry for Mar, but at this moment, I will become the heart and brain of the beast.

It was the crown prince who wanted a splendid performance in the first place.

***

The class battle is over. It’s only the second time I’ve experienced a class competition, but even I knew that the scale of this year’s class competition was overwhelmingly large.

“Olivia, control over!”

“Yeah! Everyone worked hard!”

Because it was more difficult than the work of the leadership department that I heard from seniors who had graduated. There’s no way the seniors lied, so it must be on a scale that even the seniors haven’t experienced.

“Ugh, it’s hard…”

Muttered as he rubbed his thighs. Even I, who was confident in my stamina, moved so busy that I was tired.

At the same time, though, he smiled. It was a busy few days during the anti-class competition, but it was worthwhile. Even though there were so many people, there was no accident.

‘Hee hee.’

From noble mtl dot com

I am proud. When I first became a leader, there were many unfamiliar things—but now I am a veteran leader. My sister also complimented me!

“It’s a pity that I couldn’t watch the 4-player battle. Where else can I watch Ma Jong-gong fight?”

“It’s been recorded, so let’s see it.”

In the meantime, I heard the stories of other leading members and came to my senses.

‘Closing Ceremony!’

I forgot about it for a while. There was more important news besides Prince Majong’s participation in the four-person battle.

‘Cut the sky!’

Spontaneously, the footsteps headed for the closing ceremony. Just as Ma Jong-gong personally participated in the 4-person competition, the Inspector General said that he would show off his sky-slicing skills during the closing ceremony.

I’m also a person who uses a sword, so I really wanted to see it, but I’m glad I remembered it even now!

The closing ceremony was already packed with people.

I’m sorry. If possible, I wanted to see it up close.

‘…It doesn’t matter since the sky is torn anyway?’

Suddenly, when I thought about that, the regret subsided. Yeah, what if it’s far away? All you have to do is watch the sky tear apart.

“Thank you to everyone who took the time to gather here.”

While I was waiting with such a throbbing heart, the voice of the Inspector General resounded.

It’s so crowded that you can barely see the head of the Inspection Department standing on the podium, but that’s okay. It’s enough just to know that he’s here.

“During the anti-war period, the future talents who will lead the empire, and even the continent, showed their skills and competed amicably. I’m just happy as a senior who walks the path ahead of them.”

‘Senior?’

I inadvertently tilted my head. Isn’t the inspector general our senior?

“That’s why the senior wants to give a small gift to the juniors who have shown great performances. A state that exists at the end of the path the juniors walk, a state that they can reach someday if they keep moving forward without stopping.”

How are you? If you show me something good, it’s all seniors!

I could feel the expectations of me and the people around me as the words gradually got into the main topic.

“This is the same idea of the great Duke of the Empire, Prince Majong. I would like to show you the end of magic that was not seen in the four-person battle, right here.”

The chatter grew. To be honest, I’m not interested in magic, but I’m sure other students of the Ministry of Magic will expect the magic of King Majong, just as I expect to cut the sky. Then you should be happy!

“Oh, and everything that happens from now on has been proven to be safe, so I would appreciate it if you could watch over it.”

?

That’s a strange word. Safety? Agitation? So far, the sky slashes that the Inspector General showed at the academy have not affected people, and no matter how powerful magic is, if you shoot it into the air, nothing happens? Need to emphasize safety?

Ah, since there are a lot of non-unmanned, non-unmanned customers, I think you said it out of consideration. As expected, the Inspector General has a good heart—

Ugh…?

“Huh?”

When I looked up at the sky, I let out a blank voice at the sight I saw.

‘A stone?’

No, is it okay to use the word stone?

A huge rock appeared in the sky. An ominous dark red rock suddenly appeared in the sky.

And the rock was falling towards us.

“───!!”

“──! ───!”

The surroundings have become noisy. I couldn’t hear what he was saying, but it was noisy anyway.

But I looked at the rock—at the meteorite, as if possessed. Now that I see it, there is not one. Two, three, four, maybe more.

“Again, safety is not an issue.”

My mind, which had been dazed, returned to the voice of the inspector general.

“It’s not going to reach you.”

With those words, the meteorite split in half. The cracked meteorite gradually became incontinent and then scattered and disappeared like petals.

It disappeared like powder under a torn sky.

***

Seeing Meteor scattering in powder made me proud.

‘It will work somehow.’

The meteor created by the Demon Lord is a high-level process that, if you split it with a sky slash, the Demon Lord will cancel the magic and turn it into powder.

I think it’s f*cking crazy, but I have no regrets.

‘That’s a b*tch.’

Honestly, it’s cool.

A wizard who uses Meteor and a swordsman who destroys Meteor. Where would you like to see this?
