61 – Battle (3)
The three cadets, Woo Do-ji, Woo Sang-hyang, and Kim Il-lon, have been born and raised together since childhood.
Usually, even close friends from childhood tend to split according to their capabilities and environment as they grow up, but luckily the three of them did not split up and came to the academy together.

As such, we knew each other’s personalities and strengths and weaknesses very well, but as a result, there were many cases where we crossed the line.
It was like that even now.
“I am right!”
Kim Il-lon, who was exceptionally tall among the three and looked like a huge old tree, shouted.
“First of all, what you said is a bit wrong. It’s not completely wrong.”
Udoji, who looks like a puppy and has a good personality, fought back without losing.
“You are both completely wrong. Fools. I know I have to tell you this.”
The cadet, who was exceptionally short, scolded the two of them together, as if the name Woo Ha-hyang would suit it, as opposed to Sang-hyang Woo.
“You guys have been squinting your eyes since you were little. Udo-ji, you’re flaky, so it’s okay, but Kim Il-lon, don’t you look tall like a tall man?”
“Why is the key here? Is it my fault that you are short?”
“This bastard. Are you playing with the key?”
“Are you an idiot? You started talking about height.”
“Stop, stop!”
Udoji realized that her friends’ feelings were running high and stopped them.
“Stop doing something. That bastard is f*cking with my height.”
“Is it dementia that you brought up the key first?”
The reason the three of them fought was simple. Concentration in Daejeon A fight broke out while evaluating the fighting ability of the cadets ahead of the match. Choi Ji-seong, Han Cheol-woo, and Yu Seong-won were evaluated as unanimously strong opponents without any conflict, and that if nominated prematurely, they could be defeated.
“Ymir is a bubble.”
“Dude. The bubble’s combat power is over 9,000? Didn’t you hear what the instructor said? You were so damn excited about it.”
“Combat power and fighting are different. Fighting power is a number, and fighting is a real battle.”
“Yeah… , You’re talking stupid again.”
“You are the one who said the stupid things.”
Of the three friends, Kim Il-lon rated Ymir highly, and Woo Sang-hyang rated Ymir low. Udoji supported Kim Il-lon’s opinion and positively evaluated that the combat power exceeded 9,000, while also supporting the upper-right opinion of a bubble.
Udoji said.
“It is true that it has a combat power of 9,000, but it is also true that it is a bubble. Practical experience is not important for nothing. Didn’t you hear what Park Dae-shik said? If you’re going to evaluate everything simply by fighting power, why is there such a contradiction? Why are you doing the battle practice again? Just follow Kim Il-lon’s words and measure your fighting power, and that’s it.”
Kim Il-lon’s face crumpled. Woo Sang-hyang nodded.
“That’s what I mean. Because numbers are just numbers. He’s a martial artist Aren’t you a martial artist because you’re talented? Unlike other talents, the martial artist’s abilities rise evenly. So, it means that it is relatively broader than other talents for the growth threshold of stats, and it has a lot of bubble stats.”
Udoji intervened.
“But even so, in order to get a combat power of 9,000, you need to have a tolerable level of ability. They say you have to fight against us to get that level of fighting power.”
Sanghyang Woo’s face crumpled. Kim Il-lon nodded.
“That is what I mean. A combat power of 9,000 means that you really have to work really hard. What is your combat strength right now? 8,000 Won’t be enough. Is it easy to raise combat power by 1,000? It’s not easy.”
Woo Sang-hyang immediately refuted.
“The martial arts talent is different from other talents.”
“It is different.”
“Should I bet?”
“A bet? What bet?”
“If I fight Ymir, the result will come out. I will prove that I am a bubble.”
As soon as Sanghyang Woo finished speaking, he requested a battle with Ymir. Even so, Kim Il-lon laughed and did not bend his argument.
The quarrel that seemed to be subdued by that laughter started again, and Kim Il-lon and Woo Sang-hyang began to raise their voices. Udoji couldn’t stand it.
“Stop, stop!”
Woo Do-ji made an arbitration plan.
“I have a match with Ymir today.”
Kim Il-lon said.
“Already?”
“Because he is a hot player. Daejeon was caught very quickly. The schedule was very tight.”
Kim Il-lon immediately confirmed his words with his smart watch. The cadets tend to actively recommend watching Daejeon games, so it is quick and convenient to check the schedule.
As if he was an idol, he said it mockingly.
“It was caught quickly because it was a good restaurant. The other kids know too, so I put in a lot of requests for a match against Ymir. I want to suck the honey before the bubble bursts.”
“Sounds funny.”
“Let’s stop and check it out because his game starts today.”
Kim Il-lon asked at Udo-ji’s words.
“Who is Ymir’s first opponent?”
“Tier 1. Kim Yuksoo.”
Kim Yuk-soo is a great cadet and is quite well known among his first year cadets. While Kim Il-lon frowned, Sang-hyang Woo excitedly rubbed his palms.
“I don’t have to wait for my turn, the results will come out quickly. The bubble will burst quickly.”
Kim Il-lon pointed out.
“Don’t start with kimchi soup.”
“Determine the betting product first. What are you going to bet? I bet that Kim Yuk-soo wins. Did you know that Kim Yuk-soo has the same combat power as me?”
Kim Il-lon clicked his tongue.

If you point out the opponent and the opponent agrees, it’s a breeze after that. The time is set and the arena is set. There are so many stadiums inside the academy that even if all first year cadets play against each other at once, the game can continue without any problems.
[Ymir]
[Current 5 Victory Points (Base)]
[Owned nomination rights 5]
[Number of matches played 24 times]
[Currently 24 Matches Remaining]
[Recent Match Schedule: Colosseum Stadium 4 in 10 minutes (basement)]
I checked the information provided by my smart watch and walked towards the stadium. My first game is in an underground arena quite far from the main building.
But when I went down to the basement and entered the arena, there were surprisingly many people in the audience seats. I wonder why there are so many, but it seems that my game was caught very quickly, so many people came to watch it.
Those who asked me to fight must have come to watch.
Then you need to act stronger than usual. This is because the person who singled out me could see my performance and declare surrender.
“Oh, it’s already here.”
“I’m here.”
“That bastard is a bubble.”
“Because it’s not.”
I stood up on the field with all the cadets staring at me. I checked the time and there were still 5 minutes left until the game started. The instructor with a face I had never seen before looked at me and said.
“Are you a cadet in Ymir?”
“Yes.”
I checked my identity with the smart watch, and the instructor took the smart watch away after confirming it. And the long explanation began.
“The match is a 15-minute rule, 3 sets of 5 minutes. All attacks, including attacks on the vital points, are allowed, and swords or sharp-edged weapons cannot be used. In addition, when magic attacks, including magic, are judged to be extremely dangerous under the judgment of artificial intelligence, the magic field in the arena naturally reduces, so you don’t have to be burdened with attacks….”
He checked my condition and continued to explain.
“You can declare surrender whenever you want. To declare surrender, simply raise your hand and say surrender. In addition, the game may be suspended in the middle at the instructor’s discretion….”
My opponent, Cadet Kim Yuksoo, must have arrived earlier than me. When I got up on the field, he came up too. The cadets who seemed to be friends of cadet Kim Yuk-soo shouted from behind.
“Hey. Apply it and throw it away.”
“Gorge the Caveman.”
“It’s broth. I bet you.”
At the words suggesting a money bet, the instructor’s brows furrowed for a moment, then straightened. He explained the same to cadet Kim Yuk-soo as I did, then stood in the middle of the arena.
“Then, the morning match 1 begins.”
As he signaled, an electronic whistle sounded and the battle began. As the name suggests, Kim Yuksoo was a cadet with a lot of broth. He said, lifting his chin.
“The caveman. I’ll burst your bubble.”
He ran to me as soon as he finished his words. Contrary to his heavy-looking body, his movements are surprisingly fast.
I can be an athlete.
As soon as the distance closed, he swung his sword at my face. Although the blade does not stand, it is made of solid iron and is intimidating. Seeing as I was aiming for the head first rather than the large body, it seems that he usually looked down on me.
Slow.
But I could see all the attacks. I didn’t even need to use a meteor beam, I stepped on the floor to avoid it to the side and immediately used meteor infinity. Meteor Infinity shows its strongest power when it starts after spilling the opponent’s attack.
Wheek.
My body naturally deflected his way, and my arms opened up gaps in his body as if stirring the air. The process is as natural as flowing water, so someone who doesn’t know it might mistake it for a weave and play.
Puck.
And I punched him in the face.
Puck puck puck puck.
When the floodgates opened, a waterfall rushed in and my fists started pounding on him. After hitting his face intensively, he hits his body, and the huge body is lifted upwards. When I hit him hard and took his hand, his huge body collapsed and there was a thud.
“… ….”
A silence fell.
From noble mtl dot com
“Uh, game over!”
Belatedly, the instructor announced the end of the game and declared my victory. It seems that even he did not know that the match would be so easy.
The match was over in less than 5 seconds, so that’s understandable.
The medical staff formally approached and checked my condition, and the instructor who served as a referee approached and told me.
“Ymir cadet. The next opponent is waiting, so can we continue the match right away?”
I nodded.
“Yes. You may proceed.”
