Episode 23 – Stories from far away, other people –
Cadet No. 82, The leader who led the lower-ranked cadets: Fenetrix could not help but believe his eyes.
Abraxas, one of the cadets he had been ignoring.
Because he was casually fighting with Isaac Evan.
‘I thought he was the kind of person who only believed in his background as a marquis writer and made a fuss about it… !’
Although it has not been well known among people, there are quite a few people who dislike Abraxas.
Some of the female cadets started to fantasize about Abraxas’ background, appearance, and behavior, so he hesitated for a moment.
His actions clearly crossed the line.
It is said that he won against the professor, but it was not because of his skills.
He only won by using psychological warfare, so some of the cadets did not acknowledge the fact that he had defeated the professor.
Of course, psychological warfare is also the most important factor in skill, so the professor admitted defeat.
He thought so, so when he appeared wearing clothes with the Emperor’s portrait on it, he couldn’t help but doubt his eyes again.
If he did something wrong, he could have been arrested for insulting the royal family.
But when he thought about his actions, he thought that it could be possible.
This is because that is what he has done so far.
While everyone was perplexed by his appearance, Isaac Evan spoke to Abraxas on behalf of their hearts.
“Then, I will attack you just once. “Then that’s enough, right?”
“What… !”
“Let’s attack. “If I can.”
And when he responded that he would give Isaac Evan a chance to hit him once. The lower ranking cadets were taken aback by his confidence.
Even if it is a situation where an attack cannot be carried out due to political issues.
An opponent who can send him away in one blow if he is not careful.
Even though he was such an opponent, Abraxas faced him without any fear.
And the low-ranking cadets were soon able to see the basis for that confidence.
Pangㅡ
A huge sound was heard. Abraxas’ upper body suddenly disappeared, replaced by his fist.
It was so instantaneous that it was thought that Abraxas’ upper body had been blown away by Isaac Evan’s attack.
Not only did he damage the emperor’s portrait, but he also killed the marquis’ second son. When such a terrible thought entered Fenetrix’s mind.
Chakㅡ
Abraxas moved quickly and distanced himself from Isaac as if he were still alive.
‘That…’ I avoided it… ?’
Abraxas was not boastful, believing only in the emperor’s benevolence without any basis. That was because he was confident that he would at least survive.
The lower-ranked cadets also knew that Abraxas could at least take the top spot in this Golden Horseman.
The fact that Auror enhancement is possible is a truth that can never be denied.
“I avoided it… ! “Your skills were not average.”
Isaac Evan was focusing on the fact that he dodged the attack rather than the fact that he had no intention of getting hit.
Other cadets had the same thought.
However, to put these feelings to shame, Abraxas made a fuss and sternly punished him.
It may not have been for me, but at least for the lower-ranking cadets, it was a cruel death.
“No! If you hit that, it will just be a piece of meat! Are you planning to replace the emperor of the empire? “If that had been hit squarely, you would have died!”
“Didn’t you say you would welcome me? Why did you avoid it?”
“No! Who can fulfill an unrestricted contract with the enemy? They said they treated their prisoners like gentlemen even when they were at war with other countries!”
If you look at it, it seems obvious, but no one questioned it. This was because Abraxas’ golden shield had such a great impact.
He didn’t even see the attack.
He neither saw the attack nor saw the evasion. It’s literally a completely different level.
I was lost in thought like that.
“Everyone. Good bye.”
Abraxas ran away. Isaac ran after him.
It was a confusing situation, but Fenetrix still followed them as if possessed.
“Hey… ! Where are you going!!”
“I have something to check!”
He was certain of something. Only by watching this fight can we move forward.
He is not an Auror Swell. He can’t keep up with two people using Auror enhancements.
But even so, he just ran. He himself didn’t know the reason. I could only guess that Abraxas seemed to be holding some secret.
When he ran and arrived like that.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t control my strength. “If it were possible, it wouldn’t have been ruined so horribly.”
Abraxas had already been defeated by Isaac Evan.
The face is covered in blood and one side is distorted.
The magic tool glowing red in his right hand gave an idea of what state Abraxas was in.
And the force field emitted from the magic tool protected his body, and Isaac Evan tried to escape from the spot.
“Wait a minute… Why is the broadcast… ?”
But Abraxas stood up casually. I don’t know how it happened.
I can only assume that the most likely scenario is that it withstood Isaac’s punch.
Then he threw a nearby long vine and attached it to Isaac’s body.
Abraxas began to spin Isaac like a yoyo.
‘Wow, that’s ridiculous…’ !’
After that, Fenetrix had no detailed memories. He was so traumatized that his brain refused to remember him properly.
An opponent you can never defeat. But even so, the winner is Abraxas.
Everyone thought it was skill rather than psychological warfare.
Abraxas used psychological warfare to defeat an opponent he could not defeat.
‘Once is a coincidence, twice is luck. And three times is skill.’
He thought while looking at that. Abraxas has something. At least there is more to it than he thinks.
[Cadet No. 6, Cadet Isaac Evan, was eliminated.]
The broadcast rang out as if putting an end to those thoughts.
‘In the end, the world is a result. Keep winning. ‘Professor Rachel, Professor Maximilian, and Isaac Evan.’
He sneaked back before Abraxas discovered him.
Very slowly so that no one notices.
—-
‘Great’
A control tower that watches over everything.
There, Maximilian was smiling very satisfied while looking at Abraxas.
‘An opponent that cannot be defeated with pure physical ability. The level is the same, everything is inferior. However, he succeeded in winning by exploiting the opponent’s weaknesses. Surely… If you make efforts in the future… ‘
There is no need to learn how to win against an opponent weaker than you.
Because it is natural for the strong to win.
But if it is not the top of the world.
Even if you are at the peak, at some point you will have to deal with an enemy that exceeds your capabilities.
In such a situation, the majority collapses.
However, Maximilian was looking at one person who was not among the majority.
“If you just use tricks like that… How are you going to prepare for it later? “
Although some professors disapproved of Abraxas.
Of course, it wasn’t wrong.
Because the best thing is to develop your skills.
Rather than dealing with an enemy stronger than yourself.
It was a difference in perspective that arose because it was better to become a strong enemy.
“Cadet Abraxas has not yet received proper training. “He definitely has talent, so if we teach him, he will probably soar high in the future.”
“I also admit that you are talented. Because he fought Cadet Isaac and won. But that’s it. It’s too low in pure skill.
If you try hard, I’m fine with it too. But aren’t you trying? “There are a lot of behavioral problems.”
“But it is the educator’s duty to correct that. If that cadet strays… “
“It would be terrible to fall into the back world. If you don’t practice there, you will die… He too will be forced to train. “Then you will lose one precious piece of power.”
Several professors convey their opinions to each other.
This is because the result with Cadet Isaac, who was one of the candidates for the championship, was so shocking.
‘I wasn’t sure until last time, but… It’s clear now that I look at it. Abraxas Cadet. ‘I’ll do my best to deal with it.’
With that in mind, Maximilian headed somewhere.
“Professor Maximilian? Where are you going?”
“I just remembered something to write.”
“I see. “The professor has the quickest reaction time, so please return quickly.”
“I understand.”
Professor Maximilian briefly returned to his office.
An ordinary desk with nothing special on it.
He took out a letter from the second drawer of the desk.
Maximilian wrote the title in the letter.
[Imperial Apprentice Guard Recommendation Letter]
‘I’ll have to wait a few months to get an answer. I guess I just have to hold out for that time.’
Something that Abraxas never wanted was about to happen in reality.
