“The cadet whose name is being called forward.”
With everyone’s hearts beating wildly, the name of the new sun in the first year of ＜Deleiten＞ was finally announced.
“Rain Ludwig, Christa Warden, Caden.”
The crowd started to stir.
Did the top three come out in this final exam?
To explain this result, I would have to enumerate Lane Ludwig’s evaluation score.
[10]
[10]
[8]
[8]
[10]
[10]
[10]
[10]
[10]
[9]
It received the most points of 10, but since the likes and dislikes in the artistic aspect were inevitably divided, there were also two 8 points, and the total score was 95 points.
“Rain Ludwig has reached the highest point ever!”
“You’re on a par with Christa Warden!”
“Seven professors or 10 points… … !”
While the score drew everyone’s admiration, there was a girl who openly expressed her discomfort.
“Me, me, me, hateful… … Did you draw with Lane? Lane’s magic was more powerful?!”
When Cassena Paige muttered in a voice that seemed to be in disbelief, Madelia put her hand on his head.
“The world of magic is always cold… … I want to say this, but I don’t know if I can say that this is a draw.”
“… … ?”
“I will tell you in advance because Cassena will be president someday, but the midterm and final exams have different scoring methods.”
If this was the test topic for the first or second semester midterm exam… … It would be Lane Ludwig who occupied the chief position. because.
“Rain got 7 out of 10, so it’s safe to say that 7 out of 10 professors gave Lane extra points.”
“really?”
“okay. If it had been midterms, Lane would have been top. With an overwhelming point difference. By the way, don’t go anywhere and say this.”
He’s a guy who’s really afraid of the future.
To beat Cayden, who is famous for being a genius in Harimun, on such an unfavorable subject, and to be on par with the Warden’s lady… … .
And if the scoring had been different, it would have beaten them both.
“Then what! Even if he is co-chief this time, why is that guy named Caden wearing it?”
“There is no co-chief in ＜Delayten＞. There is only one sun that can exist for each trial.”
As long as there is a tie in the final exam, now it will end in that cruel, if cruel way… … Elin Ludwig also bit her lip.
“Hi-go~ This goes all the way to the final vote?”
“What is the final vote, Auntie?”
“It is only used when there is a tie in the final exam.”
The runoff vote was a method in which the three cadets who had risen to the chief match voted each other to determine the chief cadet.
“In this case, only the cadets with the joint chief’s score will be able to vote… … .”
The three seats eliminated from the senior competition are only entitled to vote.
It was created with the intention of having the cadets who made it to the finals elect the cadets who convinced themselves to be the top, but most of them voted for themselves… … .
“It’s something that only happens once every 20 years.”
Nora Redon raised the corners of her mouth in genuine interest.
“Cayden must be the most important right now★ It would be sad to be eliminated anyway.”
This is why Madelia said it was a cruel method.
The chief candidate mostly votes for himself, because the chief is determined by the decision of the three seats away from the chief.
The teaching assistant, who briefly and clearly explained this method to the cadets, placed the three cadets in a triangle orientation.
“On the count of three, you can raise your right hand and point to the cadet you think is a good fit for head cadet. Of course, you can also vote yourself.”
In the sky, cumulus clouds gleamed white. The weather was too relaxed for such a suffocating poll.
“three.”
A strange tension shone in the eyes of the cadets as they glanced at each other. To the point where even those who watch it hold their breath.
“two.”
Professor Caroline stopped breathing and closed her eyes gently. Professor Elin stamped his feet intermittently in impatience.
“one.”
And the next moment, the three cadets all raised their hands… … It made the eyes of the spectators widen as they held their breath and waited for the results.
“hmm… … ?”
“what… … ?”
There were four fingers on it.
One of them is Caden.
Another is Christa Warden.
And the other two… … He was pointing at Lane Ludwig.
“Kaden chose Lane Ludwig… … ?”
“The same goes for Christa Warden… … ?”
“And Lane Ludwig… … Both?”
Receiving the professors’ puzzled stares, the teaching assistant quickly approached Lane Ludwig.
“Cadet Lane, who did you choose now?”
I had no choice but to ask.
No, Lane raised both hands, pointing at Kayden with her left hand and Christa Warden with her right.
Then, Lane Ludwig tilted her head as if asking why this was strange.
“I did this because I thought that both of these people were better suited to be senior than me… … Is it not okay?”
“Only one person can be chosen in the final vote. Can I take it as my vote for Cadet Christa Warden?”
The strange sight of all the cadets in the finals voting for each other, and the bizarre behavior of the top cadets… … Assistant Professor Kyle felt his heart thump.
‘I didn’t expect the day to see such a heartwarming scene in the final vote.’
They are really golden generation. Not only the skills, but also the personality of the members… … great, nothing more.
“Okay, that’s it. No matter how Cadet Lane’s votes are counted, the results won’t change.”
Kyle raised the boy’s hand, and as everyone watched, the figure zoomed the most in the clairvoyance.
“Now here, the top cadets for the 1388th year 1st semester final exams have been decided!”
The boy standing there had dark hair and red eyes. At one time, he was treated with all sorts of contempt for being called Confucius of Genius.
once upon a time, once upon a time
But now, at the apex of the Demonic Realm, in the middle of the dragon’s blood field, where all the enthusiasm and aspirations are pouring out.
“Rain Ludwig!”
The silence that had flowed among the spectators who had been watching the voting results in puzzlement was broken, and thunderous applause broke out.
“Waaa!”
“Ludwig conquered the golden generation of ＜Deleiten＞ and took the top spot for the second consecutive time!”
“Awesome, 1388th! Even the last vote! I will continue to support you!”
Elin Ludwig and Seri Ludwig, who doubted their five senses for a moment, burst into innocent laughter the next moment and hugged each other.
“Aunt, aunt! My brother won! My brother won!”
Brim Ludwig, who was applauding while looking down at his son, had to wipe away his tears when he overlapped the figure of her husband in the back of her son.
‘Kavan, my son has risen to the top again today… … Just like you did.’
Bitterness and pride intersect in Professor Caroline’s closed eyes as she sighed.
‘Yes, Christa. If this is your choice… … As a teacher, I have no choice but to cheer for you.’
Rain, who instantly became the center of all attention and cheers, looked at Christa with a bewildered expression.
“Hey, why did you vote for me? He said he would definitely take the top spot this time.”
Then, heh, Christa turned her head and folded her arms proudly.
“Don’t mess around. Even if you don’t tell me, that keelstone cord will definitely be taken away. When I convinced myself that I had definitely won you.”
If I had won this final by even one point, I would have taken the top spot without any hesitation.
But this, this wasn’t it.
Even in the preliminaries, it could be seen as a landslide victory for Lane Ludwig. It doesn’t suit my temper to take a match like this.
‘but… … decomposition.’
I am angry at myself for not being able to rise to the top position here.
But more than that, the helplessness of thinking that Lane Ludwig is better suited for the senior position than me is enough to make my teeth tremble… … angry
It was the moment when I bit my lips to the extent that I could feel the fishy taste of blood in order to hold back my tears.
“Christa!”
It was more than welcome, but I heard an embarrassed voice.
A crowd in the stands was waving vigorously at the girl.
Everyone didn’t recognize them because they didn’t wear clothes with the family crest engraved on them, but Christa already recognized them just by their voices.
“Dad mom… … and sisters? What, why are you here?”
That’s why I had no choice but to approach it as if possessed in the trembling confusion.
“Why did you come here? Ask what you know!”
“This eldest sister came to cheer on her proud younger sister!”
It was a family history that unaristocratic remarks came out when excited. The father, who had a warm expression on his round face, smiled.
“Good work, Christa. It was really cool.”
cool?
cool what is cool
I didn’t get the top spot again, but after shouting so loudly, I entered the school… … I tried to say that while feeling the pain of being torn apart.
“You have a very fine daughter, Your Excellency.”
“Looking at you, the future of the Warden family feels brighter than ever.”
“I came from the Magic League information processing department. If you’re okay… … .”
In an instant, he was speechless when he saw that the direction of the applause, which had been directed towards Lane, was towards himself and his family.
Watching my father and mother being surrounded and praised by many of the giants of the magic world… … It was a sight I had never imagined before.
Eva Warden, the eldest daughter of the Warden family, looked proudly at her sister and smiled.
“Did you see it? Straighten your shoulders, you handsome little brother. Because you were really cool today.”
If I had known my family would come, if I had been able to show myself as a senior, it would have been great.
I couldn’t open my shoulders.
I couldn’t raise my head.
But the girl straightened her shoulders, which felt so heavy, and raised her head. Because I was already used to this kind of hardship and sadness.
– If a genius walks ten li a day and rests, we just have to walk ten li without resting. What if a genius crossed the sea in a sailboat? You can row on the raft and follow it.
It is natural to be tired.
Painful is natural.
Even so, this road, I will go to the end. One day I will definitely be able to catch up with him.
“huh… … !”
Rain, who had been watching Christa’s back as she pretended to answer cheerfully while hiding her tears, looked back at Caden this time.
“Why did you vote for me? No matter how you look at it, the one he made was better.”
Then Cayden took out a notebook and scrawled a pen on it.
From noble mtl dot com
[I was more impressed with Confucius’ magic.]
“why?”
[Because I felt your voice enchanted vividly.]
Then, as he closed the notebook, he smiled faintly and turned to the side of the Harimun school and his father.
“Write… … .”
Lane scratched her head. I’m sure I’m getting closer to Lista’s letter, so I feel good, but I also feel uncomfortable.
It seems like you are stepping on promising juniors.
If I hadn’t been here, Krista would have been in first place, and that Kayden would have been in second place… … oh, i don’t know
“Nice, all three of them.”
At the time when Lillian Karin was clapping with a wry smile, Dadan Karin, who was sitting in front of him, jumped up.
“Are those words coming out of your mouth right now? cool? A loser who tarnished the school’s name!”
Then he swung his hand wide and slapped Lillian’s cheek hard.
“How on earth are you going to reach the peak with such a weak mindset! Such a pathetic bastard!”
However, the old Dathan’s hand couldn’t reach Lillian’s face unlike before. Lillian snatched that wrist out of the air. Dadan’s hand trembled as if the grip was pushed.
“You don’t have to worry, I’ll reach the top on my own, so you just watch.”
“This, this guy… … !”
“But not in your way. I will stand on top in my own way.”
Lillian smiled coldly, then let go of Dathan’s hand and stood up. And he left the crowd without looking back.
While Dadan was outraged and pointed, the young students of Rivendell had to constantly struggle to hide their exhilarating smiles.
Meanwhile, vice president Felix Drake, who had watched the senior match, leaning against the railing in the stands, smiled and looked to the side.
“The momentum of the freshman juniors is unbelievable. Isn’t this why a student council president who is better than you comes out?”
Then, Valencidis, who was watching the match with him, smiled for no reason.
“You’ll know when you see it.”
Of course, I can’t see the end with my own two eyes, but… … .
Starting from this very day, the name of Lane Ludwig will leave a strong mark in the magic world as a nickname of a new star.
Just like his father and grandfather did.
