The difference in skill between Senna and Nocturne was clearly evident. If Nocturne is a low-level knight, Senna is barely on the verge of becoming a high-ranking knight.
In the first test, Sena seemed to have surpassed the level of an advanced knight, but she showed no such appearance at all in the final 1:1 match.
Nocturne’s overwhelming superiority.
Rather, Ren breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that.
Until Nocturne taunts Senna.
‘this… … !’
An unusual aura flows from her as she clutches the ring.
I didn’t notice it when I saw it from a distance, but seeing it right in front of me makes me feel it even more strongly.
Stigmata on the nape of the neck, burning hot as if on fire.
“die!!”
As soon as the demonic energy began to creep up from Sena’s fingers, she rushed at Nocturne.
Even though his left arm was bleeding profusely, his speed did not decrease at all and his balance did not collapse.
Rather, Nocturne is embarrassed by Sena’s movements, which are faster and stronger than before she was injured, and shows her weakness.
A sword strike that penetrates quickly inward. Her sword sliced through Nocturne’s shoulder and was hurled violently to knock his arm off.
Kaang!!
Ren, who had already climbed up to the arena, knocked away her sword and immediately overpowered her, stepping on her finger and naturally taking out the ring.
“this… … !”
“Priests!! “Call a priest!”
Nocturne fell to the floor, holding on to his half-tattered shoulder. Sena looks at him with regret.
“Cadet Sena.”
At Ren’s call, she looks up at him. When our eyes met, she turned her head as if she couldn’t see him anymore.
“sorry… do… … .”
Not only was the audience in an uproar, but the judges were also talking a lot about what to do about it.
“This is on purpose! “I did it on purpose with malice towards Nocturne!”
“What do you mean? In the first place, the Nocturne cadets were overwhelmingly pushing ahead, so where could they afford that? “I guess I overextended myself just trying to win.”
“Where do you see that? “I definitely had time to draw my sword.”
“Isn’t it vague? However, even though the Sena cadet won, it is a little too much to charge him with corruption… … .”
Opinions are exactly split. It was the same for the audience.
‘Tsk.’
Ren knew she did it on purpose, but she didn’t tell the judges what she felt.
“It didn’t seem intentional to me.”
“is that so?”
“no… “You really didn’t exist?”
“If it were Judge Ren who came forward, that would be the case.”
When even President Liana supported Ren’s words, the mood shifted to Sena’s victory.
In a chaotic atmosphere, the professor who was the judge thanked Ren for his help and resumed the test.
The next test is a showdown between Evan and Naomi.
The wild crowd quickly became immersed in the battle between the two, which ended in Evan’s victory.
After the eventful graduation exams were over, Ren secretly visited Sena.
Sena, who was resting at her dorm, looked at Ren with surprise at his sudden visit.
Since the academy was closed until today, there were not many people inside.
Ren dragged Senna outside.
“This ring. “Where did you get it?”
Ren took out the ring he had secretly taken out earlier.
Sena’s eyes shook violently.
“Speak quickly. Because of you, the rights of the commoners here at the Academy may be further diminished.”
“… … that is.”
Crispy.
The sound of blades of grass rustling is heard. Ren, who was feeling sharp, stretched out his sword like a thunderbolt and flew the sword energy upwards from the tree.
“Tch.”
Someone clicks their tongue and runs away.
However, Ren, who jumped one step faster than him, quickly grabbed him by the back of his neck and threw him to the ground.
thud!!
“Ugh… !”
He groaned in pain and at the same time put his hand into his arms and grabbed a glass bottle filled with green powder.
Pakak!
I tried to break the glass bottle with my hand and throw away the poison powder that came out, but before I could open my hand, my wrist was blown off by Ren’s sword and I was rolling on the ground.
“Kaaa!!”
A masked person screaming and clutching his missing wrist.
There is fear in his eyes.
“Who is it?”
Ren grabbed his head and ripped off his mask.
An ordinary man with black hair. Unlike Ren, who couldn’t recognize who he was, Sena recognized him.
“Instructor Pilar?”
“assistant?”
“Please save me… … .”
Black clothes covering the entire body and a mask covering the face.
Even the daggers hanging from the arms and legs and the poison powder on the cut palms.
“You came to kill Sena?”
“no… , no!”
Pilar’s palms, spread out next to her, were melting in real time due to the green poison powder.
“Even after seeing that?”
“That… … .”
Ren grabbed his wrist and poured energy into him, causing his insides to become a mess.
“aaa!!”
Pilar continues to scream from pain she has never experienced before. Seeing that, Sena felt like she was feeling pain too.
“Professor Jack ordered it! Really!”
“Professor Jack?”
“… … “I knew that would happen.”
Pilar fainted, drooling. Ren ignores him and looks at Sena.
“That ring was also given to me by Professor Jack.”
Professor Jack gave her a ring and tried to use his assistant to deal with Senna.
‘It stinks.’
“Follow me.”
Ren blocked Pilar’s energy, tied her up, and moved away.

Jack, who was staying in the small professor’s office sorting out documents, stops working when he hears a sudden knock on the door and asks.
“Who is it?”
“I’m a Sena cadet.”
“… … “Sena?”
Jack twitched his eyebrows.
“come in.”
“hello.”
“What’s going on at this hour?”
“I came to return the ring.”
“… … “I don’t remember giving you a ring like that.”
“The professor gave it to you, right? “They said if I use this, I’ll be able to defeat Nocturne.”
“If you’re going to talk nonsense, get out.”
“professor!”

“Why don’t you turn it off right now?!”
Jack grabs the nameplate on the desk, his face distorted and his energy rising.
I was about to throw my energy at it, but frowned when the door suddenly opened.
“That’s enough.”
“you… … .”
“I was wondering who had spilled demonic energy on this child, and it turned out to be you.”
“What nonsense is that!”
“You’ll know whether it’s nonsense or not when you see it.”
The first spirit pulled out from Ren’s waist emits a faint green light and shoots forward.
A stab without any hesitation. Jack, who was met with a strong will to kill his opponent, quickly grabbed the sword that was standing next to him and blocked it.
“What are you doing?”
Ren swings his sword without even responding to Jack’s words.
Perhaps because he is a professor of swordsmanship, he blocks Ren’s attacks with fairly sophisticated swordsmanship.
Kaang!! Suddenly!
However, Jack, who had cut his thigh, glares at Ren with blood dripping down his face.
“Do you think you can harm a professor at the Imperial Academy like this and get away with it?”
“That’s nothing for you to worry about.”

– The third season
– Slash.
Gray sword energy rushes in as if it will split him in two along with the desk.
Gritting his teeth, black magic energy flowed from Jack’s sword and blocked Ren’s slash.
“Khaaa!!”
But I just avoided death. Jack, who was stuck on the desk, distorted his face and struggled to stand up.
“You’re finally showing your true face.”
“Shut up! Everything is ruined because of that damn b*tch. It’s unlucky. Why did you come as a judge? Tsk.”
Now, Jack has put away his mask as if he has given up. But it’s still relaxed.
“No matter how much you do it, Ren Argen, you won’t be able to easily corner an innocent professor.”
“It would be like that if I were alone.”
Sigh-.
Another person coming in there.
Liana Windrunner, with flowing red hair, came in and glared at Jack with murderous eyes.
“Elementary, elementary, president… sir?”
“Jack Arlesi. You are dismissed from today. And from now on, you will be transported to the Empire as the worst criminal in the Empire.”
Jack Arlesi, whose cheeks were trembling, tried to raise his magic energy, but it was no use.
The intense spirit that weighs him down. Jack is taken aback and glares at him, feeling a completely different pressure than when Ren had moderately controlled his strength up until now.
“Just give up.”
Chaang!!
Jack lost his sword in vain when Ren swung his sword.
“Come in and arrest me.”
The academy knights who were waiting outside tied Jack up and took him out.
“thank you. Thanks to you, I have cut off one of the academy’s rotten roots.”
“This may not be the end.”
“I know. “I plan to begin a large-scale investigation of the entire academy starting tomorrow.”
The president who said that looks at Sena quietly trembling next to him.
“And Cadet Sena.”
“yes… … .”
“You defeated Cadet Nocturne in the test with the power of this ring, right?”
“… … that’s right.”
She answered, lowering her head.
“I will fail this graduation exam.”
“… … yes.”
“And originally, I would have been expelled, but… , I will give you one last chance. “Let’s wait and see for one more year.”
Not only Sena but also Ren were surprised by her words.
Regardless of whose plan it was, he used black magic, and she said she would look after it.
“Because it was my fault that caused this to happen.”
As if she had read Ren’s inner thoughts, she spoke as if making excuses.
“Instead, we will watch more carefully than now. There will be more eyes on Sena cadets. “The security inside the academy will also become more stringent.”
“yes.”
“If you say no, I will hand it over to the empire.”
“yes! of course!”
“And I heard about Cadet Sena’s situation.”
When Ren heard Jack’s name coming out of the mouths of his instructor and Sena, he was convinced that he was Black Star’s henchman.
So, I went straight to the president’s office, called Liana, and told her about Sena’s situation.
“I would like to think more deeply about the relationship between noble cadets and commoner cadets. And Nocturne Cadet and his gang? I will investigate them too and if what Cadet Sena said is true, I will take disciplinary action against them. Of course, Nocturne cadets’ graduation will also be cancelled.”
“… … thank you.”
“There is nothing to be thankful for. “Because this is my job.”
Lyana smiles at Ren.
Ren realized that she was asking if he wanted to come to the academy and ignored it.
“Then let’s go.”
* * *
Vale, Arjen’s territory between the capital of the empire and the southern region.
There is a huge mountain range behind, the Black Sea to the left of the territory, and the continental ocean to the right.
Vale, a territory with better geographical requirements than any other territory.
People from the family begin to gather there one by one.
A gate as large and ornate as the family’s prestige surrounded the main building, and a high iron gate welcomed the family’s people.
The grand main residence is reached after passing a large fountain in the center and a beautiful garden around it.
The family’s knights and direct children lined up on both sides of the entrance.
The iron gate opens and a man with long blue hair that reaches below his shoulders walks in.
Quickly! Quickly!
Knights dressed in armor line up in a dignified manner and take a stance to welcome the head of the family.
“Greetings to our greatest monarch!”
As the family’s guardian knight stepped forward and shouted to welcome the head of the family, the knights lined up on both sides also shouted after him.
“Greetings to our great monarch!”
Fletcher Arjen, the head of the Arjen family, walks among the knights who hold their swords backwards and place them on the ground and slightly lower their heads.
“Are you here?”
Fletcher nodded at the greeting from his wife, Leonora Argen, and slowly glanced at his immediate children before standing in front of them.
“It will soon be the day we receive the family sword. Those who are qualified, raise your sword and prove your qualifications.”
Quickly!
The knights all raise their swords and let out thunderous shouts.
“I will prove my qualifications as a sword!!”
Fletcher, who confirmed their spirit, asked Leonora.
“Have all the inductees arrived?”
“yes.”
“i get it.”
Fletcher turned around and entered the mansion.
“Disperse.”
The knights who had lined up until his appearance disappeared scattered in all directions at Leonora’s declaration.
“mother.”
At that time, Lian Argen approached Leonora and called her.
“Why are you doing that?”
“There are inductees who have not arrived yet.”
Leonora looks at him with puzzled eyes at his words.
Lian said, calmly receiving her gaze.
“Ren Argen. “My brother hasn’t arrived yet.”
