Deception (7)
226
In the fourth match, Rei was crooked.
Completely upset, Rei participated in the fifth match with a broken straight sword without changing weapons.
The match started, and Ray’s fifth match, exam number ’45’, worked really hard to protect his pride.

No matter how different your skills are, you can’t be defeated by a ‘broken straight sword’.45, who was taking Rey’s broken straight sword, raised a spirit that was close to shouting in order not to lose momentum.
“Aww!!”
“What?”
Ray was dazzled.
Rey, who was already crooked, struck 45 with the hilt of the broken straight sword.

No. 45, who was trying to hold on somehow, was hit by the hilt of the sword, fractured the collarbone, and collapsed.“Shut up…!”
It hurt.
It hurt my body, but my heart hurt even more.

No. 45 burst into tears because of the shame that rose from the depths of her heart.Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No matter how much the difference in skill was, losing to a broken straight sword was a different approach.For the first time in her life, No. 45, who had been hailed as a genius for the rest of her life, felt a terrible setback.
Ray looked down at No. 45, tears streaming down his face, and said something.
“Rise up, number 45. It is not shameful that the weak are defeated by the strong.”
“…!”

Number 45 turned his head and forgot the pain and rushed to Rey, but was overpowered by the examiners and dragged away.The booing at Rey reached its climax after number 45 was dragged out.
If the examiners did not control them, they would run out with their weapons.
Rey, who was crooked, waved at them. The boo grew even bigger.

Now, only the last battle remained.The opponent of the sixth match was, of course, Johana.
Yohana defeated Darren in the 4th Dalian and easily won the 5th Dalian as well and advanced to the final.
She shone overwhelmingly among the test takers who were said to have gathered the imperial knights.
Finally, the examiner called Johana’s number from the top of the dungeon.
“Come up 26 times.”
Johanna called the number and went up to the dungeon.
Shortly thereafter, the test takers began to chant Johana’s name.
“Yohana!! Yohana!! Yohana!! Yohana!! Yohana!!”
Johanna only answered when someone asked her name, but now everyone knew her name.
Johanna was the last hope of the candidates.
Because it was Yohana who showed an overwhelming appearance in a total of five battles, the candidates deeply believed that Yohana would defeat that damn evil.

Now, only Yohana was able to set justice and relieve the tears of the test-takers who had fallen.Johanna’s status as a commoner or aristocrat was no longer important.
Everyone became one and continued to chant Johana’s name.
Yohana’s face turned red in the presence of excessive attention from those around him.
Then the judge spoke again.
“…No. 60, come up.”
Immediately a boo broke out.
“Woo!!”
Rey, who was crooked, again waved to the hooters and came up to the dungeon.
It was hard to tell if this was the sacred entrance examination hall of Aegis or the Colosseum where blood, tears and madness flowed.
Yohana looked at Rey with the world’s scornful gaze.
Ray was furious for a moment.
Even if everyone else swears at me, shouldn’t you be on my side!!
With that feeling, Ray looked around for Darren among the test takers.
However, as Darren was also making a similar expression to Yohana, Rey understood that it was all his fault as a space sword one-tool asshole.
Then the examiner asked Ray.
“…wouldn’t the weapon be replaced?”
“yes.”
Rey turned the broken straight sword round and round.
Yohana could not use her own sword in this battle.
Rey will not use the dual sword, Harsia’s main swordsmanship, in this battle, nor will she use sword strength, and other minor techniques such as overdrive will not be used.
And picked up a broken straight sword. In fact, it had to be balanced.
Yohana, who had a grumpy expression on her face, knew that, so she raised her sword without saying anything.
Finally, the final battle began, and Rei and Yohana collided.
Wow!!!
The swords clashed violently and the air rumbled loudly.
Yohana gave up her hand, which she had been doing up to the 5th battle, and swung her sword with all her might.
Because he believed in Rei, and also knew the gap with Rei, there was no hesitation when wielding the sword.
The examiners were very nervous.
I honestly wasn’t sure if I would be able to stop the confrontation between the two in a timely manner when a ‘what-if’ happened.
The faces of the test takers who watched the match between the two naturally hardened.
Yohana was definitely an expert. All the test takers here were also experts. However, something was different.
Johanna was different from the other test takers in all aspects of her body movements, the use of swordsmanship, and mana control.
The test takers felt an indescribable gap from Yohana.
It’s a little different from the level of proficiency or technical perfection… The difference in pure ‘talent’.
Everyone who watched this match felt it.
Ray could see how Johanna’s talent was expressed much more clearly than the other test takers.
Yohana’s mana was more deformable than the mana of other knights with strong immutability.
If the deformability of mana is strong, there is no choice but to experience difficulties in realizing swordsmanship or more.
However, Yohana used her innate mana control and sense to offset that weakness.
And when necessary, he threatened the opponent by fixing mana with the desired nature.
Johanna’s swordsmanship was free.
To explain this from the opponent’s point of view, it meant that the number of cases to be considered when dividing the sword increased tremendously.
For Yohana, it was difficult to overcome the moment it dried.
Spera, who had the same talent as Johana, could somehow rebalance it, but others couldn’t.
Kaga River!!!
Johanna was sharp and sophisticated, and quickly and freely pressed Rey. Johana’s swordsmanship was beautiful.
Although the test takers felt the gap in talent with Yohana, they frowned at Rei, who was facing such a Yohana with a broken straight sword.
Ray was completely beyond their understanding.

Nod!Rei was blocking Johana’s sword attack when she heard the sound of her sword being sharpened.
Even the broken straight sword had reached its limit and it was clear that it would be shattered in no time.
Then I really had to fight with only the hilt of the sword, but it was impossible for even Rei to against Yohana.
“Hmm…”
The moment Ray thought about whether he should win or not.
On the contrary, Yohana narrowed the distance with Rei and threw a kick back.
When the chess technique he taught me when he was young suddenly popped up, Ray was surprised and lifted his waist.

Nettle – With the sound of breaking the wind, Johanna’s leg brushed against the tip of Rey’s nose.Rey avoided the kick and immediately swung his sword.
It was a bit embarrassing, but when the distance narrowed, it was advantageous to Rey with a broken straight sword.
But at that moment, Yohana swapped the positions of the left and right hands holding the sword.
With the sudden switch, Yohana’s swordsmanship changed drastically.
In fact, only the left and right were reversed like a mirror, but from the standpoint of the other person, it was not as simple as that.
At a distance close enough to touch each other’s breath, the sword strikes were split into short pieces and collided.
Rei felt a sense of being drawn into Yohana, and in the meantime, smiled.
In the trajectory that became dizzy as Johana’s swordsmanship changed.
Ray was forced to perform a stab.
Rei did not dare to go against the flow and stabbed Yohana with her sword.
Then, as if waiting, Johana laid the sword on its side and held the hilt of the sword short with her left hand and fixed it, then pulled her right hand into her arms and pushed the blade forward like a lever.
Shut up!!
When Rey’s broken straight sword broke, towards the particularly deep crevice.
The blades of Johana’s sword touched exactly.
Rey’s unstable sword flutters.
At that moment, Johana’s blade cut the broken straight sword in half from the tip of the sword, mercilessly digging in.
can’t stand it any longer
As the broken straight sword shattered, a strong shock hit Rei.
Trying to resist the shock only hurt more, so Ray adapted to the shock that shook her body.
Wow!!!
Rey’s body was scattered along with the fragments of the broken straight sword that had been shattered.
Rey shredded only the shards towards his face, then rolled over and fell to the ground.
Rey’s hand now had only the hilt of the sword split in half.
Rey tried to get her back up, and then she collapsed again.
after a brief silence.
Cheers erupted from all sides.
“Wow!”
“I won, I won!!!”
“Yohana!! Yohana!! Yohana!! Yohana!!”
As the match continued, Yohana, who was excited, forgot her embarrassment for a moment and raised her hands.
A louder applause erupted immediately.
“Wow aa!!!!”
Johana was late and covered her face.
Rey, who stretched out to the ground, wrapped himself up in the huge cheers that followed.
“Because the villain is… used to it.”
it was dog shit
*
“…”
Inside the fortress of the Frislan family.
Ernst stared at Ray, who had returned from successful entrance exams.
After a long silence, Ernst uttered a word.
“Why don’t you go and pull out the holy sword right away?”
“…”
In fact, Ernst rarely used sarcastic discourse like this.
However, the situation was so absurd that those words came out very naturally.
What was the reason for Ray’s rejection of special admissions and the decision to take the entrance exam?
After disguising as a normal student, he quietly said he wanted to see if Johana and Darren are doing well in Aegis.
But, Ray came back with a really great match in the Aegis entrance exam.
Originally, test takers and examiners should not divulge what happened during the Aegis entrance examination process to the outside.
For Ernst, this bastard really wanted to try it with me, so he had no choice but to think about it.
Of course, even Ernst didn’t know that Rey was a ‘space sword one-tool asshole’.
It was not easy to imagine such a thing… even as the Sword Master of the Empire.
Ernst, who was watching Ray, who had been scrutinizing his eyes, finally endured his anger and changed the topic.
“…Your Majesty’s Majesty has officially awarded you the Order of Defense of the Empire. It took some time as the procedure involved is complicated.”
Ernst pulled out a small stone box studded with expensive jewels.
Ray asked, a little perplexed.
“A Medal of Defense of the Empire?”
“Open it.”
Ray took the stone box and opened it.
A diamond shape… Well, it was a shape that extended a little further down, but anyway, there was a medal in the stone box that looked quite familiar to Rey’s eyes.
A rhombus on top of a hollow circle. On the rhombus, a pattern in the shape of a dragon symbolizing the empire is engraved.
Ray saw this medal for the first time in real life.
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Nevertheless, it felt familiar because this medal was representative of the Empire and was a must-have item in storybooks that children read.Imperial Defense Medal.
This was the highest decoration of the Empire, and in terms of frequency, it was a decoration that could only be awarded once in a hundred years.
This medal was truly a symbol of a heroic feat that will be recorded in history, and was the greatest honor that the people of the Empire could dream of.
Ray was very daunted… though he didn’t even feel it.
Still, I felt a similar feeling of embarrassment and embarrassment.
“Well…”
At the end of the medal, Ray’s name and achievements made by Ray were engraved in small letters.
“…was it awarded unofficially?”
“The official medal awarded, or the recipient, has not been disclosed.”
For some time to come, the Empire will be buzzing with guessing who was awarded the Order of Imperial Defense.
Many people would think that it might be one of the Royal Guards or Imperial Special Forces agents who were secretly sent to the Meteor fall incident, but it must have been difficult to find the answer.
Ernst didn’t bother to ask Rey about his inspiration for the Order of Imperial Defense.
That was what Rey was supposed to receive, so it wasn’t for Ernst to get involved in whatever emotion he felt.
“When you die, then who the grantee was will be revealed.”
This was the emperor’s proof that even if Rei died, he would not erase and overwrite the history that Rei had written. Whether Ray wants it or not.
Ernst quietly spoke of the benefits that can be received by recipients of the Order of the Order of Imperial Defense.
In fact, it was so famous, Ray knew the rough stuff.
There were a lot of special benefits such as pensions and other things, but most of them could not be used in a state where their identity was not disclosed.
In any case, the most famous benefit of the Order of Imperial Defense was related to greeting etiquette.
Everyone in the empire except the emperor, that is, everyone, including the imperial family and nobles.
Regardless of their rank or position, they had to be polite to the recipients of the Order of Defense of the Empire first.
That is why the recipient of the Order of the Order of Defense of the Empire…
There was no need to bow in front of anyone other than the Emperor.
Since it was only awarded to those who were entitled to such privileges, the Order of Defense of the Empire was revered as a symbol of heroes.
Rey asked Ernst while fiddling with the Medal of Defense of the Empire.
“Then, should the Marquis say hello to me first?”
“…”
“It’s a joke, a joke.”
Ray smiled brightly, haha .
