236 – Last words I want to leave
Right after Scarlett finished speaking, the stadium was shocked.
It’s not that she doesn’t understand what she’s saying. On the contrary, she became still because she understood so well, and because her shock was so great.
With those words, Scarlett fell down without making a sound.
“Scarlett!”
“S, Scarlett!”
Several knights hurriedly came up from the knights’ camp and took away Scarlett’s body. She lost an eye and even an arm, so her appearance was no longer normal.

“Wow.”
Scarlett coughs up her blood.
“Ki….”
She started trying to say something. She even stopped everyone from breathing and focused on her next words.
“Like a knight…. Let’s do it. Like a knight….”
The other knights nodded their heads to her one after another. After Scarlett checked it, she slowly closed her eyelids.
“Scarlett! Scarlett!”
“Don’t make a fuss.”
Viola cut her off as if she was uncomfortable with this situation.
“I was just asleep. Losing her eye and losing her arm were both my fault, so you don’t need to worry.”
She then gestured indifferently at her escort knights. Her escort knights were busy escorting her to her treatment center.
‘In the end, you lost again.’
Viola was busy giving her thoughts about her wins and losses.
Assuming that the vested rights of the knights must be maintained, this atmosphere was never good.
Even if she tried to become a hero herself and preach the excellence of a knight, those who saw today’s match with their own eyes would not believe her words.
She or she will become a hero who lies to show off.
“… Damn it!”
Viola stamped her foot once on the ground.
The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get. About Scarlett.
“What on earth were you thinking!”
Scarlett even sacrificed her own body to keep her plan afloat. Viola could never understand her chivalry.
And then Viola’s gaze turned to Flan.
‘Plan….’
Viola frowned.
‘There was a reason.’
She was said to be an unprecedented wizard.
She has not suffered even a single defeat. And he is the one who raised the status of the Faculty of Magic to this point.
And I felt like I understood the meaning a little bit.
‘How old are you?’
If you think that it is the same age as the representatives of the Magic Faculty…. I am at the age where I am completing my attendance at the academy. In other words, it is an achievement that is difficult to even imagine considering his age.
What would happen if a wizard like that reached the age of the current knights of the capital? Viola must have felt quite an unpleasant sensation just imagining it.
Viola immediately shook her head.
‘If I become a hero, then that will be enough.’
I decided to boldly abandon all other goals except reaching hero status. And she would not be defeated until Viola died and closed her eyes.
No matter how much of a plan it is, you will find out now.
If there are walls that can be overcome, there are also walls in the world that cannot be overcome. And for Flan, that wall will be the viola.
‘I’ll show you the power of a capital knight.’
Viola looked at the magic faculty camp with harsh eyes.
It was just a glance, but each of the representatives of the Faculty of Magic reacted in shock.
‘That’s a viola.’
‘It’s not easy to make eye contact.’
Although they were representatives of the Faculty of Magic who had already witnessed and confronted the guard knights and capital knights here, Viola’s energy was truly extraordinary.
‘It’s so different? What about other knights?’
It was that time when Trixie, Becky, and Louis had the same thought at the same time.
“Are you a viola?”
A low tone spread deep across the floor.
Of course, the owner of the voice was Flan, but then something surprising happened. As soon as Plan’s voice was heard, the trembling bodies of the representatives of the Magic Faculty calmed down.
“There is no need to drag on. “Just move on to the next game.”
“….”
“The result is obvious, but I still have to do it. “Isn’t that so?”
Flann gestured to Viola as if to come up to the stadium. Even though I see Viola’s expression so hard that I can’t hide it, I don’t care.
In fact, he even delivered a final blow.
“Why? Are you hesitant?”
“Ha….”
Viola maintained her composure, but the eyes of the guard knights standing next to her were shaken.
The knight camp was already suffering from a losing streak, and if Viola accepted this kind of provocation, she had no idea what kind of spark would fall on them.
No, it may not be a spark, but a volcanic explosion.
“Hey, Viola….”
Her escort knights tried to look at Viola with concerned voices, but she calmly raised her hand and stopped them.
“Hey, Plan.”
“I’m listening.”
“Can you take responsibility for the words you said?”
Flann nodded his head as if it was obvious.
“You must take responsibility for the words you say. Always.”
“….”
Viola didn’t bother to reply out loud to Flan’s words.
However, her steps were directed towards the stadium.
◈
“Whoa…” .”
Cornette, the president of the Faculty of Magic, took a deep breath.
It cannot be called a simple and ordinary game. Cornet’s heart trembled because he understood how important the match between Plan and Viola was.
‘It’s as if the previous games were just a prelude.’
Flan is the one who made it possible for the Magic Faculty to participate in this position, and across from him is Viola, who is said to be the most likely hero candidate.
It was a match that everyone could look forward to, and at the same time, it could be said to be the most important match.
No matter which side wins….
‘The story of this match spread throughout the continent.’
One thing was certain.
“President.”
Violet opened her mouth in a quite trembling voice.
“Plan…. Can we do it?”
“Aha.”
Cornet nodded his head quietly, as if he had expected it.
I knew Violet would say that, and all the wizards here are probably thinking that.
“The default is for the viola to win.”
“Ah…. “Isn’t that true?”
In Cornette’s opinion, the viola was truly a wall.
That’s because there is no rank between capital knights and heroes. If the ranks were subdivided, the viola would occupy the highest rank among them.
So, according to common sense, it is very difficult for Plan to win against Viola.
“It’s amazing that we came this far. We won a complete victory against Scarlett, and the other representatives also performed very well…. “Even if we return like this, the status of the Magic Faculty will be enormous.”
“But.”
“Yes?”
Cornette abruptly cut off Violet’s muttering.
“Flan must have followed common sense.”
Since they knew what Cornet’s words meant, the wizards sitting next to them also smiled brightly.
“That’s right. “Common sense doesn’t apply to flan at all.”
“No matter who my opponent is, I don’t think I’ll lose.”
As the wizards started talking one by one, the people sitting in front turned their heads towards them one by one. Most of them were people who controlled the upper chamber.
One of the merchants spoke.
“I’m cautious about saying this because it feels like I’m pouring cold water on it, but are you all speaking from the bottom of your heart?”
“Yes. “I’m serious.”
Cornette answers with a plain expression.
“I hope you all at the Chamber of Commerce will understand.”
The image of taking deep breaths and relieving tension has suddenly disappeared. Cornette put on his usual composure and spoke with a secret smile.
“We are probably already Flan fanatics.”
◈
Finally, the final game.
Viola’s eyes were even more serious.
As she stood face to face and looked at Flan approaching to greet her, Viola felt her mood grow strange.
“It’s something to live for a long time. “I never thought I would experience something like this.”
Who on earth would have expected that competing with all one’s might against a wizard of the age of attending the Academy would be successful? Even Viola thought this would never happen.
I think this alone is quite shameful, but in order to become a hero, you have to endure things you don’t want to do.
‘It is right to quit now for the sake of later.’
In fact, the ill feelings toward Flan are not that great.
If we have to be honest, Viola’s negative feelings are mostly towards weak knights. How can you blame Flann, who was born as a mere wizard among wizards?
But even if she has no hard feelings.
For the future of the knights, and for yourself as a hero, it is right to cut down Flan now.
Sreuk─.
Viola slowly drew her sword.
“Flan. “Any last words you want to leave?”
No answer comes back.
The moment when two people’s gazes become intertwined in the air.
The match has begun.
