20 – He is no longer with us…
After a while, the instructor came up to the podium.
And he started to explain the rules for the class match.
As I played this game, I knew it every time, so I didn’t have to pay attention.
‘As expected, it’s the same this time.’
The rules of the class match.
In fact, there are no restrictions whatsoever.
It’s over if you put your opponent in a state of incapacity for battle or accept their surrender.
However, whatever happens in the process, they acquiesce.
Whether it’s cutting the body or attacking the mind, it’s as long as you don’t kill it.
Anyway, the superintendent assigned to the site will restore it to Hill.
“Then let’s start selecting teams!”
While I was thinking differently, I started selecting teams.
Team selection is random.
It is composed randomly.
No matter how random the team was formed, those who would stand out would be revealed anyway, so we didn’t set a specific standard.
“Hmm… I don’t have anyone to cooperate with.”
But my teammates were all weak kids.
Scions of non-influential viscounts or counts.
In this way, there is a lot of room for me to play an active part between them, so I could get a good score, but there was a high probability of losing without doing anything to the opposing team.
In other words, even if you lose, the key is how much you struggled in the process.
“Then let’s go to the designated team.”
Anyway, following the instructor’s guidance, I moved to my team.
The team assigned to me is ‘D12’
When I moved to the place with the sign D12, I saw 4 team members waiting for me.
However, there was one person who stood out among the extras.
It was ‘Charlotte’ from the Berdian family who sat next to me at the entrance ceremony.
“Phi, Sir Pix!”
“Charlotte.”
She smiles brightly as soon as she sees me.
It is a picture of him fixing his white round glasses and tidying up his green curly hair.
There were a lot of freckles on her blushing face, so I felt like I was looking at strawberries.
“Pi, when I heard the name of Sir Pix. Uh, you have no idea how happy I was.”
“It was nice to see a name I knew. Let’s do our best.”
I shook hands with Charlotte in the sense of fighting.
Then another team member next to Charlotte introduced himself and asked for a handshake.
“under. Only a few of these will go up anyway, so what kind of handshake is that?”
But not everyone was kind to me.
Charlotte and Extra 1 were friendly to me, but the other two were rather wary of me.
“Did you say you awakened Mana yourself? How long has it been?”
And among them, a guy with long red hair started asking for my number.
I told him the truth as it is.
“Well. It’s been exactly 16 days.”
“what? 16th?”
“Yes.”
“Puha! Kkeukkeuk! Commoners are like that. There aren’t many spells you know how to use, right?”
“Well, it is.”
“Then you get fit. Then I’ll take care of it.”
“I see.”
He’s openly arguing with me, but since he’s not worth dealing with, he answered casually.
Then the boy frowned and said.
“Hey, are you insincere in your answer? Do you want to fail the test?”
“…”
Well.
Slowly it starts to annoy you.
I don’t want to use my power here.
“Me, over there!”
at that time.
Charlotte stepped forward.
she said in a trembling voice.
“Go, with the same team members… aren’t you being too rude…?”
Charlotte mustered up her courage, but her red, curly hair looked at her indifferently.
the guy said
“Keuk. Did you say Berdian? That ruined family?”
“Ah… that, that’s…”
“A bitch from a family where the only thing to see is grass, somewhere. I don’t know if the face is half. A bitch with an ugly face.”
Well.
It’s annoying.
Even if we were on the same team, I don’t think it would be of much use.
“hahahaha. Let’s do this. I apologize.”
So I approached him with a service smile.
However, the guy still showed his temper with an unresolved face.
“What are you doing at this point? Sir Fix, Sir Fix, do you think a commoner like you is on the same level as me? A guy who has just awakened mana…”
“ha ha ha. Yes. I was wrong.”
I said that and hugged him.
He frowned and tried to push me away.
“What, what is this bastard?”
“hahahaha, it means let’s do well with the same team members. Please accept my apology.”
I said that and gathered the maximum amount of mana in my thumb.
And just like that, I pressed hard on the guy’s ribs.
With a pop-like sound, the guy made a whooping sound.
“Keah…!”
“uh? Go, why are you suddenly like this? Are you okay?”
I said that and pressed the rib on the other side.
With a thumping sound, the boy’s legs staggered.
“You, you are unique…!”
“Uh, where are you sick?”
I hugged the collapsing guy and pressed another rib.
Kkeuk- The guy’s eyes rolled over and he started biting bubbles.
“Hey, wake up! Why is this all of a sudden…!”
Pretending to help him breathe, I lightly pressed his neck.
The guy who was frothing lost consciousness as it was.
I fainted.
“ah····”
I let out a sigh and looked at the fainting man.
I hurriedly reported the guy’s condition to the instructor nearby.
“Instructor! I think I should send you to the ER! He collapsed suddenly, and like this…”
“…”
The instructor looked at the fallen red hair.
After a while, he glanced at me and answered with a frown.
“To take good care of one’s body is part of the test. I’ll have him eliminated, and I’ll send him to the emergency room.”
After saying that, the supervisor gestured to the attendants.
Two attendants then brought a stretcher and carried him away, and I returned to inform the team.
“Ah… unfortunately, he is no longer with us…”
***
One member of the team was missing, but it was not possible to make up for the other team members.
This is because everyone has already been assigned to each team.
Still, it was much better to start with four people than to have one.
One ally holding back the same team is more terrifying than a hundred enemies.
“A5 team and B12 team. Enter the arena.”
While the fuss was over, the class match finally began.
Team A5 and Team B12, who were called out, put their hands on the teleport magic sphere and moved to the battlefield.
“Wow, no luck”
“Of course, with Isabella’s team…”
“I would have abstained.”
And, from the start, the development was exciting.
Isabella appeared from the first game.
Soon, a split screen appeared on the screen.
On the left screen, the B12 team facing Isabella.
On the right screen, it was the A5 team including Isabella.
Each team was assigned one ‘video transmission magic ball’, and they could transmit their appearance with it.
[Isabella is the key. You have to push with speed before you can attack the spirit world.]
The B12 team was having a strategy meeting with a huge rock as cover.
Distributing each other’s roles and doing it successfully is also included in the evaluation, so everyone was eagerly putting their heads together to plan a strategy to attack Isabella.
[Well···. You guys are just getting in the way, so get away from here.]
However, with Isabella, the situation was different.
A red haze appeared around her body, and she used mind control on her comrades.
Then Isabella’s teammates screamed and drew their weapons and began stabbing themselves in the stomach.
[It’s black…! squeak! hehehehe!]
However, one person with strong mental power was resisting her magic.
Although his body was trembling like an aspen tree and his eyes were twitching, he did not stab himself in the stomach.
[Can you hold on?]
But when Isabella reached out and gave him a little more strength, he started laughing maniacally.
Then he stabbed himself in the stomach and fell to the floor.
-Mi, crazy
-witch····.
-This, Isabella must be avoided unconditionally.
The spectators are stunned by Isabella’s grotesque magic.
Soon, blue smoke appeared where Isabella was.
The blue smoke changed into a human form, then into a complete human.
He was the proctor of the test.
[Andre, Undia, Beatrin, Arthur. I will be eliminated due to unconsciousness.]
The overseer treated the wounds of the four people who had fallen and then moved them somewhere.

Left alone, Isabella smiled and warmed up.
[Hmm… Shall we play properly now?]
Her body began to float in the air.
The video transmission magic sphere that filmed her also flew along.
As I climbed into the blue sky like that, the top of the head of the B12 team came into view, hiding behind a rock and having a strategy meeting.
Isabella smiled and held out her hand.
[Cheuk!?]
Then, a member of Team B12 had a seizure and his eyes changed.
Then he started attacking the same team members.
[Why, why are you doing this! Are you crazy!?]
The B12 team was quickly divided.
When a man controlled by Isabella bursts into madness and attacks his teammates, they begin to fight each other.
So the result of the match ended overwhelmingly.
At least, the female student who led the operation fired an arrow of conversion at Isabella, but Isabella lightly dodged even that and returned it to the female student.
As a result, only Isabella and the girl in question passed the test.
Because the difference in skill was so overwhelming, the supervisor, who took the female student’s resistance in a meaningful way, let her through.
***
In the end, everything went as expected.
The descendants of the 4th Duke of the Empire performed exceptionally well and advanced to the next round.
Needless to say, Lucas of ‘Divinity’, and Enya of ‘Walking Art’ killed all opponents with a single kick.
Only Claire, who had the least talent among the dukes, struggled, but was able to advance to the next round through Bernhard’s unique buff and number fight.
-In the end, things go according to order.
-There’s no such thing as an underdog rebellion
– Only those who want to go up will go up.
The obvious result that everyone expected.
There was no such thing as a dark horse in such a closed aristocratic society.
Rumors of talent spread quickly, and most nobles already know who will rise and who will fall.
In the end, everything was ‘bloodline’.
A person who inherits the lineage of a viscount cannot go beyond most counts, and a person who inherits a lineage of a count cannot go beyond most marquesses.
And the family of the 4th duke was the strongest lineage in the empire.
Except for the ‘Imperial Eye’ that reigned over them.
The one that can be left out of the discussion is ‘Elena the Archmage’, but her ridiculous talent is still a mystery.
“The D12 team and the C4 team. Enter the arena.”
And this fateful atmosphere was the same when the D12 team, including Ed, was called.
It is true that Ed is an extraordinary person, but he is a commoner to the last.
It’s only good speech, but it’s been less than a month since I realized mana.
There is absolutely no room for him to act.
-Sir Pix, it’s a pity. The opponent must be Max. He was completely rushing.
– Tsk tsk. That’s how it is.
-What, is there anything special? Sir Fix is a man so naive that he deserves to die. Just accepting the cursed doll given by the witch.
– Kkeuk. I don’t think he will politely accept all attacks.
So, the crowd was helping out word by word, anticipating Ed’s defeat.
Dokki and Ogi were second only to him, and since the sad Max Sigmund had a grudge against him, he just hoped that Ed would come back to his senses.
“Finally it’s my turn.”
However, Ed, the person in charge, stood up with a comfortable face.
This is because they thoroughly prepared for this class match.
“We are going too.”
And the crowd was completely unexpected.
That this match would be the biggest surprise in the class match.
