58 – Episode 58 Exciting first ranking match. (4)
In the academy, the first ranking match is often not considered very important.
To be precise, it’s important, but I guess it’s fair to say that there are a lot of people who think of it as an afterthought because it feels like it’s behind them compared to the end-of-semester rankings or the events of the second semester that will take place in earnest afterwards.
Nevertheless, since it was the first event for the freshmen, the atmosphere couldn’t be helped.
Especially this time, the reaction was quite hot not only inside the academy but also outside, and the reason was simple.
Lilac and Cheon Yu-hak, the first co-chiefs of Leilan Academy, which is famous for its high standards.
There were many people who wanted to know their abilities, and if you look a little longer, if you wait for events such as end-of-semester rankings or sports competitions that outsiders can watch in earnest, it is clear that you will fall behind in the invitational competition.
Now, there are two problems.
The first problem is Kangani, a cross-dressing woman in front of me.
“There is also a ranking match, and I am confident. Eat quickly.”
This is our roommate who prepared a ridiculously heart-touching menu of tteokgalbi and pork ribs in the morning.
“Lilac and Cheonyuhak To be honest, even if you can’t beat the writing skills, that’s not the case~”
Surprisingly, that statement was not false.
Kang Ha-ni, who was half-villain in her original work, overpowered Lilac with Seola.
She killed the wicked until the end, so she couldn’t be called a complete villain, but she was drunk with sword skills, neglected her training, and enjoyed cutting people, so by Lilac’s standards, she looked like a half-villain. .
Anyway, in order to correct her friend’s deviation, Lilac has a confrontation with Hani Kang.
Even Lilac, who has gone through much more chaos than now and has become stronger, couldn’t handle Seol-ah’s anticipation.
I lose.
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like the lilac would fade.
Well, he doesn’t have the personality to worry too much about losing himself, but if the attention that was supposed to be on Lilac shifts to Hani later, that would be a little difficult.
“Did I do too much? Eat in moderation and leave.”
“Absolutely not.”
“Come to think of it, you never leave food behind? Any reason?”
“It’s a waste.”
Why? There is It is because of the second of the problems I am contemplating right now, True Love and Agriculture.
True Love Farming.
It is a strange corporation founded by a man who graduated from the academy 8 years ago, with only himself as a member.
In normal times, he is a man who lives by doing farming with the strength of a superhuman and protecting his own little happiness, but he was one of the few idiots in this novel, apart from being a hero or a villain.
It seemed that the madman, who had a slightly different course of action from other villains and heroes, would come to punish the cadets who bullied Kim Ga-eul today.
Then what actions should I take as a possessor?
First of all, I wet my dry mouth with soybean paste soup, put small cut tteokgalbi on white rice, and ate it while it was still warm.
“Really delicious.”
“You seem to like tteokgalbi, so I ate a lot. Even if I’m not there, take out the frozen ones and eat them.”
I won’t do anything.
Considering the flow of the original work or the original plan, it might be a bit of a problem for Lilac to lose, but if you think about it carefully, it might not be too bad.
Because Lilac was burdened with the excessive expectations that were being poured on her in the first place.
And thanks to my help, the sluggish growth may also accelerate if you feel the crisis in the confrontation with Hani instead of the villain.
It’s a minor problem. It’s something I can solve.
“Isn’t that really bad?”
“Do you like tteokgalbi that much? Eat all the frozen ones too~ Yes.”
First of all, let’s focus on the ranking battle right in front of us.
*
When they arrived at the classroom, each received information about the opponents they would be competing with.
One opponent stronger than you, three opponents of the same level as you, and one opponent weaker than you.
I explained last time that the ranking match method is to fight a total of five people to determine the ranking.
Except for the first ranking match in the freshman year, you can choose your opponent, but this time, the professors choose a matchup opponent based on your grades at the time of admission and your usual classes. .
Before 1: Holy Sword Class Woo Jae-hee
Before 2: Aram Park, a professor in charge of magical science.
Before 3: Professor Kim Min-soo in charge of physical fitness.
Before 4: Cathy, a martial arts professor.
Before 5: Chae Yoo-jin from Holy Sword Class.
…What is it? Was I actually the strongest in the world? Why is the raid member listed and not the matchup opponent?
Students only have 1 match against a stronger opponent and 5 matches against a weaker opponent, and the rest are all occupied by faculty.
Have you gone mad?
I am… On the same level as Professor Cathy or Professor Aram Park…?
“Ah, some of the cadets will have the professor’s name on them. It’s not an error, it’s hard to find cadets with similar skills, so don’t worry, it’s because professors can see and safely measure their skills.”
Aha, was it like that?
If you only look at the academy’s official system, there will still be no opponents who can compete with me in the academy.
The only person who knows the fact that I defeated the villain or the fact that I have a special artifact is the chairman, and I nailed it so that it would not be reflected in the grades.
By the academy standards, I was still a sucker.
…Still, am I so weak that even among the lowest-ranked students, there is no one like me?
Woo Jae-hee, the tank of Cheonyuhak Party, was evaluated as stronger than me, and how weak was Chae Yoo-jin evaluated as weaker than me?
Because the Academy’s ranking battle is oriented towards actual combat, you can use artifacts.
It’s a bit difficult to use Heukyoung in front of others, but I think it’s okay to use it at least.
“Chinttaya~”
“Huh?”
“Who do you fight with?”
As we silently handed out our votes, our buttocks asked with faces full of questions.
“…What is this?”
“What is it? My bracket.”
“Why is that?”
“Oh, is Sohyeon the bracket? Let’s see who he fights with.”
From Kang Hani to Lilac. The faces of those who saw my matchup were confused.
“It’s okay. Because I am also working hard. I can guess before the next evaluation.”
“Well then. Don’t worry, Sohyeon-ah, we will help you a lot!”
“Thank you, but are you really clumsy when it comes to consolation?”
“But, isn’t this rather good? Chinta, you are so strong.”
I was wondering what he was talking about again, but when I thought about it, Kim Ga-eul saw me fighting Jin Gyeong-tae up close.
“Hey, don’t you remember feeling sick when using his powers?”
“Oh, that’s right. Sorry…”
And then I saw him taken to the emergency room.
Actually, I think it would be okay if we fought each other.
“Hmm, professors’ eyes are also gnarled, Jaehee is stronger than you.”
“Oh, studying abroad.”
“Jaehee isn’t bad either, but it’s a pity that I won’t be able to beat you. But don’t look at him even for the sake of him.”
I think you are overestimating me?
“Well, I didn’t come to chat with you today. I’m here to make a declaration.”
“Declaration?”
“Lilac, this time I will make you realize that you are below me.”
“Oh, did you come to provoke me? But study abroad I don’t want to lose easily either?”
There was no hostility in the eyes of the two boys as they smiled and looked at each other.
“Hmm, that’s something to be seen after seeing it. As long as I promised with this spear, I have no intention of losing.”
“Wow, relics.”
“Do you think it is lethal?”
“No, choosing a good weapon and handling it well are also skills.”
“I’m glad I’m not an idiot. Anyway, the co-chief ends today. From now on, the chief is me, the second.”
“With whom? Weapons are important, but not everything?”
“Hey.”
A girl in the form of a boy intervened while the two main characters were burning rivalry.
You are strong.
She declared between Tianyu and Lilac with a confident smile.
“You’re funny, aren’t you? Whoever wants to find the top or bottom seat. I have.”
“Well? I admit that you are on the competent side, but if it were not for a small realization in the meantime, the gap between you and me would have widened more than at the entrance ceremony, and would not have narrowed.”
“Oh, I didn’t ignore it. Still, I have no intention of losing. I will do my best.”
Her two boys openly regarded her as her underling, but there was no humiliation or anger in her expression.
“It is true that the weaker the dog, the louder it barks, look closely. Because I’m going to win you guys and eat the chief practical skills.”
She rather provoked them with her confident attitude, which was quite different from her previous attitude, so the two seemed to have doubts.
“You seem to be full of confidence, but I hope it’s good.”
“It’s Hanhee. Let’s do our best for each other. There is nothing to watch.”
“Of course not.”
Before the strange currents between the three of us transferred to me, I decided to leave my seat.
“Oh, Chintta, where are you going?”
“The match with Woo Jae-hee is fast, so I have to go soon.”
“Really? Cheer up! Oh no. Don’t try too hard and look at me.”
“If anyone sees me, they’ll think I’m fucking strong.”
Jae-hee is probably laughing at the fact that he caught an easy bastard right now, right?
*
Fucked.
Woo Jae-hee looked at his bracket several times, praying that his eyesight was broken, and that he was misreading the bracket.
However, the name written there has not changed.
In the Great War, where opponents weaker than themselves were supposed to be written, the name was definitely written on it.
Kang So-hyun.
It is the name that has been placed in his head as the second most feared name after Cheonhak, and the name of a demon who can easily do things that he cannot do no matter how much he uses dragons.
Of course, after seeing the way he conceded artifacts to Confucianism and the events at the party, I looked at him again and reflected on my own attitude.
But that’s it, and seeing it again didn’t make the fear in my instinct go away.
Of course, the matchup order was fast, so it seemed like there was no way to escape.
To be honest, it’s a bit harsh to say this, but Woo Jae-hee has quite a bit of talent.
I’m lacking in attack skills, but my defense and aggro abilities as a tank were at a level that was hard to see as a first year.
That’s why he was full of confidence and wanted to show his cool side to his friends.
Juri-ra refused, but Oh Yun-ha and Lee Mi-na said that they would come to see the first couple, even considering the bond of the party.
I wanted to win the favor of the two girls by showing myself to be cool and smart.
I didn’t mean to become a gladiator who fought valiantly against monsters.
Whether or not, while waiting, the turn came around, and the instructor who was waiting in the center raised his head and the door opened.
And he stood across from me.
A small body that doesn’t feel the slightest sense of danger, and a thin body that looks like it’s weak.
He has a bit of a nerdy look because of his loosely tied hair and glasses, but his true nature was unknown from his appearance.
Everyone except for himself and some who witnessed his inaction that day would be underestimating him, no, not even evaluating him.
“Oh~ It’s been a while.”
– A bet? Cub It’s just a fight so don’t rob it. What is a bet What can I do for you? In the future, don’t quarrel with the kids. Men and horses.
From his waving hand, images of the past were reflected.
“Yes, long time no see.”
“…What’s wrong with the way you talk? Where are you sick?”
It must have been an attempt to induce people to pay attention with a friendly look, but there was no way.
I don’t know about everyone else, but I could see the pressure from the man who dominated the arena.
Should I rather abstain?
Those thoughts ran through my head.
“Oh! Sohyeon! Cheer up too~”
I heard Younha cheering from behind.
The sound of cheering for someone other than me.
I was awakened by that sound.
“There are times when a man has to.”
“What?”
“There are moments when you can’t back down even if you know you’re going to lose.”
He looked at me with the face of a madman, but at least it was important to me.
Ju Li-ra likes to study cheonyuhak.
So I gave up and tried to be sincere with the other two girls who were sure to have a crush on me.
But another wall appeared.
I couldn’t run away twice in order to achieve my goals and dreams.
“Go.”
“…Uh, so.”
As soon as the instructor gave the signal, he jumped at him wearing a self-defense weapon.
The opportunity was only now.

…Is he crazy?
Why are you like that? That bastard
It was a bit difficult to understand how he ran after talking nonsense by himself.
