Riella Harness’s ability to observe and see through ‘open eyes’ is a realization of energy that ordinary people cannot see and confirms with the naked eye.
For example, those who wield a sword will see the shape of a sword, and those with a spear will see the shape of a spear.
That’s why Riella was able to easily recognize the talents of the children.
‘Hmm… … .’
Liella was in deep trouble.
Choi Joong-won was watching the children’s battle, thinking about who the child was looking at.
Of course, some children’s battles just passed.
First of all, we have selected four children with exceptional talent from among them.
‘Then you’re one of those kids… … .’
When I saw these children, I thought it was a little strange.
There are 4 children with talents that are hard to come by in a year… … .
This one is for that lil chicken owl
No, five?
Including the child who made a contract with that Shinsoo.
‘Hmm… … The Navy has been very blessed this year.’
Four talented people… … .
First of all, it was certain that one of them was the child Choi Jung-won recognized, so I decided to have them fight one by one to check them out in depth.
‘Is that kid first?’
Obviously the name… … Was it Liam Martell?
A boy favored by a Noble Phantasm.
Of course, you can’t use myth-level Noble Phantasm in a place like this, of course, but it was okay.
If this kid is a boy who gets Choi Joong-won’s attention, he will show something other than just the talent he has.
“I will leave it up to you. Liella Harness.”
“okay. When you’re ready, let’s start right away.”
“Yep!”
After starting a battle with Liam like that, Riella knew.
‘Not this kid.’
Contrary to what I thought, it was just normal.
This one is for that lil chicken owl
No, not just mediocre, just a little better than the other kids?
“Hmm… … You are next.”
Hanna Ruel.
At first glance, the aura that is felt looks like magic, but it is an energy different from that of magic.
It’s vague to explain, but I have to say it’s good… … .
It would be correct to call it holy.
And it was a familiar vibe.
‘her… … Maybe this kid?’
Riella approached Harna.
I began to feel her aura carefully.
Soon after, she found a book she was holding and nodded as if she understood.
“You are using runes.”
“… … .”
“You can’t check me out, go back. I have no power to judge.”
At those words, it was Harna who went back to the place where the children were without a word.
This one is for that lil chicken owl
No matter how long she lived, the power of the runes was unknown.
‘We can’t destroy Hwansu just to find out.’
Summoned monsters do not die.
It just goes back to the water exchange system if it takes a big hit.
Also, as long as the summoner’s magic power is not exhausted, it will remain in the real world. And since the body of a ghost is a psychic body made up of magical powers, there is no physical death.
However, that did not mean that there was no way to annihilate Hwansu at all.
One of those methods was runes.
The unknown power contained in the runes affects even the spirit creatures.
‘But not this kid. My energy is weak… … .’
Whether he didn’t know how to use the energy or did not realize the power, the energy he had was weak compared to the body that could contain the vast energy.
It wasn’t faint, but it wasn’t yet at the level that Choi Joong-won was satisfied with.
‘Then there are two children left.’
Was it surely Anna, the next great sage, and Han Si-young, who was born with the fate of the sword?
Riella thought it was Anna at first, but then shook her head.
Isn’t it too easy and simple to be her?
There’s no way that guinea pig can give such a simple answer, so there’s only one person left.
‘Is that guy?’
At a glance, the boy with the highest level of perfection among these four.
I’ve heard he’s definitely using a sword… … I wanted to try it out.
‘I’ll have to summon a little tough guy… … .’
“Did you say your name is Han Si-young?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm… … Can you cut this child?”
With those words, when Riella snapped her finger, a slightly huge summoning circle was drawn, and a round rock about 5 meters tall was summoned in the center of the vacant lot.
Soon after, four thick legs began to sprout from the bottom of the rock, and came towards Han Si-young with a huge thump-thump.
Hwansu’s name is Dark Darkness.
Among the mid-level summons, he boasts the strongest durability.
‘Where can I see my skills.’
Liella naturally folded her arms and looked at Han Si-young.
Soon after, it happened in an instant.
spatula-
Han Si-young’s movements were monotonous and neat.
He simply drew his sword and swung it from top to bottom, then put the sword back into its sheath.
The moment when everyone’s eyes turned to Han Si-young in the natural movement like flowing water.
A white line was engraved on the body of darkness, and his body began to split in half.
It’s a really neat job.
The corners of Liella’s lips began to rise slowly.
‘This guy.’
It wasn’t just judged by sword skills.
The sword that the boy wore at such a young age was obviously familiar to Riella.
“You are the disciple of the sword king.”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Hmm… … It sure is great.”
This guy was so arrogant that he ignored the command to do his best and showed no part of his power.
‘The swordsmanship shown in an instant has already surpassed the sword king’s youthful days.’
Behind him, seen with ‘open eyes’, was a huge pillar shining in silver.
The end of the pillar was invisible, but he seemed to know what the pillar was.
A huge sword with its blade soaring endlessly high and obscured by the sky.
He seemed to understand why Choi Joong-won paid such attention to this child.
‘A child like this is rare.’
Soon, Riella nodded her head with satisfaction.
I looked back at the remaining children, thinking about what to ask Choi Joong-won.
All the children who had just seen the scene were looking at Han Si-young and Riella alternately with a bewildered expression.
Riella said with a friendly smile towards those children.
“There will be no suffocation. This boy is great, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t special. You just have to show them normally, so come out one by one.”
Of course, we have already found the main character of the bet, but we cannot discriminate against other children, so we decided to watch it.
Soon after Han Si-young’s turn, a boy with a slightly rusted hammer stood in the center of the square.
“It’s the kid who was sleeping. Yes, my name is… … ?”
Riella saw the boy with her dog’s eyes for a moment and looked again, wondering if she had seen something wrong.
‘her… … No matter how old I am, have my presbyopia not come yet?’
Did I see it wrong?
Rubbing her eyes and looking at the boy again, nothing changed.
In the end, Riella had no choice but to approach the boy and ask.
“How did you get into the academy?”
“Yes? What?”
“Don’t be shy, you’re not a superman.”
At those words, Ha-jun tilted his head and scratched his cheek with a mysterious expression the moment he opened his mouth.
Then, an idea flashed in Hajun’s mind.
Hajun decided to put it into action right away.
He said to Riella with an expression of shame as much as possible.
“You are saying that my strength is too small and weak.”
“Uh, um… … I don’t mean to say that… … .”
“No, it’s fine. I’m not good either. I am the weakest in this class and I have no stamina.”
Of course it wasn’t a lie.
It’s true that among the kids in this class, I’m the weakest and have no stamina.
“Hmm… … I see So maybe it’s something I don’t feel.”
Immediately, Riella agreed and affirmed, but the classmates who heard Ha-jun from behind, what kind of bullshit was that? He looked at Hajun with a smirk.
This one is for that lil chicken owl
No, the strongest guy in the class was blatantly swearing like that.
And that too for the great hero, Riella Harness.
“No, Riella-sama, she is… … .”
“First of all, I’m sorry, but can I not do this? To be honest, I don’t have the confidence to defeat Riella-sama’s Hwansu, who is a new gentleman.”
In the end, Anna couldn’t bear it and wanted to say a word, but Ha-jun quickly cut off Anna’s words and said to Riella.
And Riella, feeling embarrassment and sorry at Ha-jun’s words, folded her arms and nodded her head and said to Ha-jun with a kind smile.
“It looks like I made a mistake to my shame. Don’t worry. I will summon a weak beast to suit you.”
“Oh no, that’s… … .”
“I will advise you on your problems, so do your best. An opportunity like this is rare.”
“… … All right.”
A little regret passed by Hajun’s expression, but Riella didn’t notice it because it was a momentary moment.
So Ha-jun, who stood in the center of the auditorium again, began to ponder what to do.
To be honest, I didn’t want to stop time and go through high school because of this.
This isn’t training, it’s just an evaluation made because of the curiosity of a young grandmother based on her appearance.
‘Hmm… … Can we just pretend we’re trying hard?’
It would be over soon if I activated Time Stop, but I didn’t want to do any manual labor to defeat Hwansu. In that case, it might be better to just pretend to try and hang out for a while without triggering the time stop… … .
“Come on, this guy is the one you will be dealing with.”
Hwansu, who appeared as Hajun’s opponent soon after, was Hwansu in the form of a hawk that appeared in the first place.
For a moment, Ha-jun’s eyebrows narrowed unsatisfactorily.
‘Are you saying you’re summoning me as the weakest guy?’
Intermediate replacement wing falcon.
How weak is that? I wondered, and I thought that maybe she was the weakest person among the Hwansu that she had signed a contract with.
Because he wasn’t a divine beast for nothing, he wouldn’t have signed a contract with a low-ranking beast.
It was the same with Lee Joo-ah.
I made a contract with a huge being called Shinsoo, is there any way I can make a contract because I’m afraid of subordinate return?
‘Well, I’ll control the power though.’
Ha-jun picked up a hammer.
As he waited for the wing falcon to arrive, he spread his huge wings and started flying straight to Hajun.
Ha-jun stared at him as he was, then swung his hammer.
The guy naturally twisted his body to avoid Ha-jun’s hammer, then detoured again and rushed to Ha-jun.
puck!
“Ouch!”
A wing falcon that hits the shoulder and flies upward again.
The guy rushed to Ha-jun at a higher speed than before.
Ha-jun also looked at him and swung his hammer again, but the situation was repeated.
When swinging the hammer, the guy twisted or rotated to avoid Ha-jun’s hammer, then quickly detoured and rushed to Ha-jun repeatedly.
At first, it ended with a light slap on the shoulder, but later on, I had a strong feeling of running away by slamming my back with my wide-open wings.
‘This bird head… … .’
Ha-Jun slowly started to get feverish.
Ogi occurred, so I grabbed the hammer and waited for him to charge again.
Once again, the guy started to rush towards Ha-jun, and just in time, Ha-joon swung his hammer.
Whoops!!
‘done!’
I wanted to hit him directly in the head.
swish-
puck!
It was a wing falcon that turned its body sideways and avoided the hammer.
In addition to avoiding, he slammed Ha-jun in the back of the head with his wings and started flying away.
– Kirik! Chick! Kirik!
The sound of the wing falcon’s vigor and low cries soon followed.
It sounded like a cry that seemed to laugh at Ha-jun.
This one is for that lil chicken owl
No, it seems appropriate to laugh.
– You are underestimating the owner.
Pilaten looked at such a wing falcon and explained it nakedly.
In an instant, Ha-jun’s hand gripped the hammer, and power entered.
“under… … .”
Hajun let out a sigh.
As it was, he relaxed his body and began to loosen his neck.
Aiming for that moment, the Wing Falcon rushes towards Ha-jun’s back.
Ha-Jun just activated the time stop.
Cuckoo—!
– 꿱!!
The wing falcon, which flew in a straight line to Ha-jun, fell to the ground as if it were going to fall off.
The Wing Falcon begins to tremble with its head on the floor.
When all the children look at the scene with the same eyes.
“… … What?”
Riella, unable to see what had actually happened, was holding her breath.
