Episode 109
The freshmen returned after completing their practical exams.
The students who were eliminated first stayed for the remaining two weeks until the practical test was finished, and then they returned together.
Julius scored a unique score among them.
He led the people to defeat the boss in the middle of a deserted island, and he even collected most of the hidden pieces that the assistants sweated on a summer day.
He was the protagonist of this test, who fought with the students there, eliminated them, and even killed many monsters.
Although I didn’t study hard enough to pass the written test, there was a calculation that I could overcome that level through Dalian at the end of the third semester.
Allen watched them return from a distance before returning to the dormitory.
If it were him, he would have happily welcomed Julius back.
Because that was the image Allen had made into the world.
But this time it didn’t. Because I had something to think about.
‘Own contradictions, thoughts, plans. and… .’
[Your choice. Do whatever you want.]
Gaion’s last words put the brakes on Allen’s actions.
He stayed in his room and started meditating after a long time.
It has been a long time since I meditated to organize my thoughts, as I no longer need to gather magical powers since I got the Dragon Core, and because of my powerful body, I didn’t even need to sleep through meditation.
He hasn’t met anyone in the meantime.
Arcanthus, Sonned, Julius, and even Rachel.
Even Inelia, who lives in the same dormitory, couldn’t open the door to Allen’s room.
While Allen was locked up like that, Dalian at the end of the semester, the final flower and spectacle of the midterm exam, arrived as scheduled.
The end-of-semester competitions run for a week.
Dalian’s rules were simple.
Each student will start a total of five competitions.
The opponents of Dalian are divided into a total of five classes: advanced class, advanced class, intermediate class, lower class class, and supplement class, so each class will face one person at a time.
If you win against a student in a higher class, your rank goes up, and if you lose to a student in a class lower than you, your rank goes down.
Most of the students did not lose to these rules, so they had no choice but to do their best.
At the most, what if a student in the middle class beats the student in the upper class, but loses to the lower class because he can’t manage his stamina?
If you do well, you can advance to the advanced class, but you may remain in the intermediate class as a result of disappointment.
Therefore, the real beauty of this match depends on how well you plan your strategy and how well you balance your stamina.
As Dalian was prepared at the end of the semester, preparations for the festival were also prepared.
As Dalian itself at the end of the semester is one of the few events that are open to the outside at the academy, the festival was held so that outsiders could also participate.
About three days after the practical test, a random opponent was finally decided at the Academy main hall.
The chairman publicly cast a spell, and a paper with the name of the Dalian opponent was delivered to all of the thousands of academy students.
Terrible spatial control.
Although Allen is of the same spatial origin, her ability to manipulate space was unmatched.
‘It’s like being born… .’
Her magic contained so many things that it was hard to even imagine that she had acquired space-based magic abilities.
Allen opened a piece of paper with his opponent written on it.
A – Gilray Dreamton
B – Boyan Cattle
C – Luca
D – Mehil Daz
Did someone deliberately adjust it, or was it a coincidence? His eyes met the name of the last replenishment class student for an instant.
E – Julius Reinhardt
A smile crept across Allen’s lips.
Decided what to choose. Allen closed his eyes. She needed to be firm in her resolve.
“Come on, let’s start the end-of-semester competition for this freshman aa!!!”
Thousands of spectators cheered beside the hugely divided stadiums.
– Hurry up!
-finally!
Most of the audience cheered for leaving the academy.
The first-year showdown started on the first day, the second-year showdown on the second day, and the third-year showdown on the third day.
“Julius, are you not going to hide your power now?”
Julius answered Natasha, who approached Natasha with his eyes shining.
“… Have you never hidden it?”
“Don’t lie. If you have enough skills on a deserted island, there is no reason to join the replenishment class.”
Julius thought for a moment at her normal question.
‘… If I deliberately went to get the support team’s giyeon, wouldn’t I be treated like a madman?’
If so, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to match her illusions.
“right. Now there is no reason to hide.”
“… Could it be because of the succession dispute with your brother?”
Julius did not answer. He’s going to match her rhythm, but he doesn’t want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
“… It was, too.”
However, she whispered as if she had expected such a reaction from Julius.
“You are gathering people to stand on your side.”
Defeating a senior in the subject of a supplementary class student, reviving a divine beast to draw attention, or demonstrating tremendous power in relic training.
“Isn’t it because everyone doesn’t want to compete in the same class as Confucius Allen?”
Is that so?
Hearing her explanation, I felt strangely persuaded.
“And the reason I’m showing my power now is because I’m confident that even if I’m in the same class, I won’t be pushed by the power.”
She said so and blinked behind her.
There, Byron, Belzek, Matthew, and other supporting actors he had recruited were talking to each other.
“Collecting people with talents that can shine anywhere and… .”
When she blinked elsewhere, Julius also followed her head and looked.
Where there are women, Helena, Irene, Anya, Catherine, Aveline, Reina.
“And you’re also gathering women on purpose, aren’t you? I even see some who seem to have a romantic relationship.”
“no. That’s not it… .”
Her eyes were full of certainty that Julius must have done so.
“At first, I was only going to observe quietly, but… , changed my mind.”
She whispered that she had been looking for all the information because she was in the estate next to Reinhardt.
“You acted like a fool from a young age. Perhaps that was the first fight for succession. After that, you will be assured of safety by Prince Allen through your notoriety as a fool. It’s common.”
Julius began to take a step backwards.
what? Are you acting like a fool? Are you safe from Allen?
It was nonsense. Allen’s setting in the original, as she knew it, was to act as a demon contractor to heal her brother’s body with a broken circle.
Then, he was attacked by Heisel, but there was no reason for Julius to doubt his friendship.
“I, I just… .”
[Next player! Please come to the student waiting room for the supplementary class, Julius Reinhardt.]
“Now it’s my turn, then we’ll talk later!”
Julius hurriedly headed for the waiting room leading to the stadium with a face that found the Dong-Ah line.
Natasha, who had been smiling until he disappeared, turned expressionless when his presence completely disappeared.
Then he asked Reina, who was approaching behind him.
“Is this enough?”
“Yes, that is enough.
As Reina nodded with satisfaction, Natasha asked quietly.
“By the way, is there any reason to do this?”
It was still vividly etched in her memory.
When the forest of divine beasts was occupied by the warlocks and turned into a demonic spirit.
If the strong men had been sent from the Great Forest at that time, it could have been resolved quickly.
But it didn’t.
I didn’t know it at the time, but I only found out after I got back. The ghost Salvator deliberately ran wild and created a situation where the elven kingdom could not move.
“It’s no use to have him purify the forest of divine beasts, and to cause a conflict with his older brother on purpose… .”
Reina stared into her eyes with a cold face.
“Remember, Princess Natasha. We are a trading relationship. I hope you will keep the good.”
They stared at each other as if in a snowball fight for a while, but ended the situation when Natasha took a step back.
“… … I will take note.”
“If you keep trying to get to know me that way, you just have to change your business partner. There are a lot of people who want to do business with us.”
An emotion filled Natasha’s eyes for a moment at her threatening, absurd remarks, but then calmly subsided.
‘… They are the ones who accept even Salvator, the eight-strong man, as a trading partner.’
If so, the child is not yet qualified to intervene in the transaction.
Even the first princess, the next queen of the elven kingdom.
“I will be careful next time.”
She bowed her head in line with the manners of the Libre Kingdom. As if Reina had ever shown her grim expression, she smiled the smile she normally had for Julius.
“If you look at it, we can say that we are in the same situation, so I hope we can go on for a long time.”
“I hope so too.”
After the conversation was over, Reina grabbed a pre-cooled towel and headed to Julius, who had finished the first match within a few minutes.
“Oh, Reina. thank you.”
“I am Confucius’s handmaiden.”
Natasha shook her head at the sight.
He said he was acting as much as he could, but he couldn’t even tell which one was the real Reina’s figure.
Allen’s first match was against a class A student named Gilray Dreamton.
His family, famous for their huge axe, was so famous that the name Executioner was passed down from generation to generation, but unfortunately, his opponent was not good.
“No, I push out of power… .”
Gil-ray, who confidently tried to put an end to his opponent with the innate power and vision inherited from his ancestors, flew away without any resistance to Allen, who was stronger than himself.
[Gilray Dreamton of Class A! Over-the-counter!]
– That student is the disciple of the Eight Rivers?
– You’ve changed so much in two weeks?
Allen had no intention of showing any gaps to the opponent.
The next opponents, Class B Boyan Catldo, Class C Lucado, and Class D Mehil Dazdo.
Allen finished it in one shot without them having time to prepare anything.
Originally, it was widely known that he learned the sword as an assistant while listening to magic lectures. However, after he became a disciple of the eight rivers, it was only natural that he was upset when he looked like he had undergone a fundamental change physically.
-Is it an armgang? .
– What method did you use?
– It must be the special vision of the Beast King.
However, all those doubts and growth rates were easily passed on to one status as a disciple of the Eight Rivers.
That was the meaning of being a disciple of the Eight Rivers seen by others.
No matter what happens, there is nothing surprising.
Having won four matches in such an instant, Allen thought on the way to the final match.
If it was the original Allen, what would you have done here if you were yourself a few days ago?
It would have been a sad defeat in the end, after showing her close-knit skills.
That was Allen’s plan to show the outside world.
After that, Julius and I showed off that there was no sediment, and went down the stadium together.
Although it is said that I lost in Class E, I was able to easily get a place in Class A because I had four consecutive victories and the status of a disciple of the Eight Rivers.
[The opponent of Class E Julius Reinhardt! Is this a joke of fate!]
Yes, if it was the original Allen.
[A Van Allen Reinhardt! In the midst of thinking that each other’s skills are equal… .]
Of course he would have acted that way.
Because that was right, because that was the best way.
[Brother rebellion at the stadium! let’s begin!]
