“Hurry up! It’s morning!”
It’s already been two months since the third semester started.
Noah was awakened by his sister’s voice calling him.
“I told you to come comfortably, but don’t you come too often? If this is the case, Yunia, why don’t you move to the black moon as well?”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have the confidence to defeat the twins.”
Yuna, who appeared on the pretext of visiting her in the hospital, began to visit every day on the black moon after that.
The ostensible reason is to teach Noah the swordsmanship of the Lichtenau family.
“I haven’t acknowledged you yet, but since I adopted you, shouldn’t I at least know your family’s swordsmanship?”
It was said that even if there was no need to change the swordsmanship he was using, he should at least learn about his family’s swordsmanship.
It made sense in its own way, but it wasn’t something I had to come to every day.
I mean, this is just an excuse.
“Hello, senior.”
“Oh, is Yuna here?”
After waking Noah from dawn, Yunia greeted Ursula on the way to the gymnasium.
Yuna was harsh only to Noah, but was respectful to others regardless of their affairs.
‘It’s kind of unfair… … Well, it’s fine as long as it’s not cheap like Frank.’
From noble mtl dot com.
If that were the case, Noah’s position would have been very embarrassing.
It was strange that he was going to educate his younger brother on the subject he had adopted as an adopted child, so it must have been quite a headache.
In that sense, it was fortunate that Yuna was bright and polite.
“Practice today? I’m excited since dawn Noah didn’t fall out of training, but it wasn’t like this.”
“Yeah, my brother and I both have personal training time, so we have no choice but to set aside time for swordsmanship training.”
He was sleeping until Yunia came to wake him up, but it wasn’t that Noah overslept.
At one time, Tiu was such a Noah that he complained that he was never tired.
However, Yuna was a better person than Noah, and had to wake up from sleep to test the sword she saw in her dream.
Thanks to that, they came at different times, sometimes in the morning and other times in the morning, so Noah would just come and wake me up, so I tended to keep sleeping.
“Senpai like that has been waking up early lately.”
“That’s because I realized how deficient my elemental state is.”
Ursula was always practicing even when Yunia came early in the morning.
Apparently, something like that happened recently, so it was inevitable that Ursula would train the most in the Black Moon.
“It was about the same in the Crescent Islands, but I have to practice harder here in a foreign country.”
Ursula’s elemental form is most effective in the Crescent Islands.
But that didn’t mean it couldn’t be used in other areas.
Instead, the effect could not be helped.
To some extent, that’s why she was satisfied with being a high ranker instead of aiming for the immovable 15th.
Even in the optimal environment, there were many deficiencies, but what about here?
All Ursula could do was raise her proficiency and solve the problem as much as possible.
“For me, a regular life is more important than practicing hard… … .”
The amount of elixir that the body can accept per hour is fixed, so it was something that had to be adjusted accordingly.
Working hard and hastily didn’t change anything.
Because of that, I was taking a break until the ranking match recently, and Yuna seemed displeased with that.
“But even now, you can defeat opponents who are matched in the current ranking, right?”
“Yes, but it is very inconvenient to use strength while still having unrefined aura lumps in the body. It feels like eating a full meal and exercising.”
In addition, if you delay absorption and use an aura on the other side, the more you use it, the slower the absorption will be.
If I put it off little by little, thinking that this much would be okay, I could actually stay like this until next year.
“I’ve said it before, but for that reason, I won’t do a ranking match until I’ve absorbed all the elixirs. I’ll just have to learn Lichtenau’s swordsmanship.”
“Sheesh.”
Yuna, who secretly tried to see Noah’s skills while teaching her swordsmanship, openly kicked her tongue.
‘That’s why I can’t go along with Yunia’s plan,’
There are many strong people in the black moon.
Frequent visits to this place would be of great help to Yunia.
Just as Noah, who was not good at interpersonal battles, quickly gained experience, Yunia could also expect rapid growth here.
After you’ve built up your skills… … .
‘It must be fun when we face each other.’
Yunia also has the same position as Felix in the 8th family.
Noah’s desire to stick with the strong was still the same.
“Noah, are you still coming to the stadium today?”
“Sure.”
The fateful day that determines Nightray’s first place.
The match between Aslan and Allen was today.
* * *
The day before the rankings.
Not many people paid attention to this item, which was sneakily included in the new ranking match reorganization plan.
That’s because it wasn’t specifically explained what to do, and it was just the contents of the exhibition administration itself.
However, Regina did not pass this off as a joke.
“Are you really going to do this?”
“why? I think it fits the current policy and is just good content. The situation is not serious. Our students need to gain more hands-on experience rather than an orderly sparring.”
Regina dismissed Kuina’s voice.
It’s already the second day of the ranking match.
This time, I focused on the first place match, but on the day of the first ranking match, I applied the team match as a test.
The team match threw off the disadvantages of the existing one-on-one ranking match and produced quite good results.
Those with relatively high rankings had to prepare for unexpected situations while being checked by others, and even those with low rankings were exposed to opportunities such as surprise attacks and steals, so their aggressiveness was revealed.
“I can try a little more and put it in the regular ranking match.”
“I think I can hear the recorder sighing at the increased work again.”
“If you have any complaints, tell them to become master knights.”
Of course, right now, the first place match was more important.
‘Two months… … .’
Aslan and Allen knew each other had opened their eyes.
In that situation, Aslan delayed the decisive battle, saying that if he waited for two months, he would be able to do his best.
‘If Aslan was simply using the time to buy time, he could have spent the entire semester with 3 months.’
However, Aslan did not do that and specified a relatively specific time of two months.
So what on earth did Aslan prepare for those two months?
“This is true.”
Regina couldn’t help the corners of her mouth go up in anticipation.
* * *
Even during the reorganization of the ranking match, the way to separate the upper and lower rankers did not change.
If the point system is applied to the entire ranking as in the lower ranking match, there will be problems with the evaluation.
However, if the power swap type is applied, students who are not aspiring to be knights will not be evaluated properly.
For this reason, the system was maintained, but only the promotion match method needed for lower rankers to rise to the upper ranks was changed.
In the usual match-ups, the lowest rank of the upper ranker and the highest rank of the lower ranker are given demotion points and promotion points.
And if the score exceeds a certain number, you will be eligible for a promotion match – a relegation match for a higher ranker.
The promotion match takes only these targets and proceeds separately.
“So this time, Felix and I are also eligible for the promotion match.”
“… … How many thousand lamps did you raise in two months?”
Tiu, whom I met in the waiting room, was warming up as a candidate for the promotion match.
“Around 6000?”
“You came back exhausted every day, so you really ran like crazy?”
“Then you always go home like a knife after class, and you came today? Maybe you came to cheer me on.”
“… … of course!”
“You talk well when you come to watch the first place match.”
Tiu pursed his lips in disappointment, and Noah smiled shyly.
It was an important game that decided the promotion, but Tiu’s attitude was relaxed.
Anyway, she wasn’t capable of playing around the 1,000th place either.
Even if a natural disaster occurs and falls this time, he is a skilled person who will come up on his own.
Even in the midst of everyone else being nervous, her attitude was bound to be relaxed.
The space in the waiting room soon increased to two people.
“What? why are you in the waiting room? You kept withdrawing, so are you also eligible for relegation?”
“Welcome Felix.”
Even before the game, Felix, who came back from his personal training as usual, looked puzzled when he saw Noah.
“Have you also fallen almost to the 1,000th place? If I get promoted this time, I’ll have a ranking match with you. Sometimes a free win isn’t bad.”
“Am I still not well? Are you going to win and like the patient, you wicked bastard?”
“I heard everything from Yunia, so don’t lie. The aftereffects have all healed, and I heard that the aura has already improved compared to before.”
“Yunia, is that my sister? Are you Felix’s brother?”
At first, Yuna felt awkward, so she stayed still, but before she knew it, she became friendly with everyone around her except for Noah herself.
“What if she came to see you guys and couldn’t show her skills because she was nervous? I came because I was a torch so that I could see the condition and come back.”
“Why didn’t you come yourself?”
“For no reason, he was worried about me and asked me how I would look at your face if I fell off. So, is it okay for me to be resentful?”
In the first place, the possibility of slipping in the promotion match was extremely slim to two people.
“… … Just looking at cancer, it seems like you and Yuna are on good terms.”
“That is the same for me too. If you look at what you do, there are no siblings.”
“Anyway, I’ve reserved the first place match, so let’s go see it after the promotion match is over.”
* * *
Hall of Stars at the same time.
Nightray’s 1st place match was specially held here, in the Hall of Stars.
Original stone, the oldest star fragment among the star fragments that are the symbol of knights.
The Hall of Stars, built on such an original stone, was also the place where the imperial knight ordination ceremony was held every year.
At the knight ordination ceremony held once a year, at the end of the year, not only the graduates of Night Ray, but also all candidates from all over the country gather.
Only here, in the Hall of Stars, could you become an official knight if you were ordained by the emperor.
For aspiring knights, it was quite unusual for a ranking match to be held here, which was nothing short of a dream stage.
“The school principal is too kind. Only then will the loser be completely stuffed into school history?”
Aslan, who had come early to look around the Hall of Stars, looked at the stadium and said in amazement.
The Hall of Stars can accommodate up to 100,000 people.
“I heard that all tickets for this game were sold out within an hour of going on sale. What if I am embarrassed by this?”
When the Crescent Islands incident occurred, all the media outlets across the country poured out stories of heroism and beautification of the spirit of sacrifice.
It was to prevent confusion that could arise from the incident and to hide the betrayal of the 8th family on the way.
The problem is that thanks to that, the interest in the article is much hotter than usual.
In the midst of this, the protruding night ray strongest match had no choice but to become a national topic.
“Oh, don’t worry. I have prepared both a winning party and a losing party.”
“Is it a party even if we lose? It’s just what you want to party.”
At Ophelia’s words, Aslan’s expression was astounding.
However, the conversation was interrupted by the person who appeared next.
“Aslan.”
“Allen.”
Prior to the match, the contestants faced each other.
