Chapter 126
Finals (3)
After exchanging light greetings with the kids who entered the waiting room one after another, we headed to the stadium.
Obviously, the exchanged greetings were as light as usual, but the flowing atmosphere was different.
“Now, let’s fight today! sun.”
“Whoa… … , I’m nervous.”
“You can do well, don’t push yourself too hard for the finals.”
Andrew’s mouth trembles unnaturally as he speaks with a faint smile.
Anya’s hand burned red from the amount of strength she exerted on the mouthpiece holding the handguard.
I unconsciously lowered my hand to stroke her hair.
I almost got used to treating him like a kid without realizing it.
It can make you feel bad, so let’s stop.
As it was, naturally, I turned my arm to the cabinet and tied the black sword to the sword belt.
It’s a familiar feeling. However, this is also the last time because I don’t know if I should ‘eat’ it.
At that moment, Chevalier’s face came into view.
Brilliant blonde hair, iron armor all over her body, and a girl who inherited the will of a saint.
Although she was wearing a brilliantly shining smile befitting her nickname, I could clearly see the dark clouds slowly beginning to cover her eyes.
“Chevalier? are you okay?”
She was taken aback by my question, then answered with a light smile.
“Yes, I am fine. Have a good day today.”
I stared down at the iron-clad hand that was reaching out to me and grabbed it.
On the other side of the waiting room, a troubled Kang Hyuk passed by in sight.
After finishing the maintenance, we headed to the stadium according to the announcement.
* * *
The spectators who filled the arena look as if the heads of colored cotton swabs were tightly packed.
Lee Yoo-ra looked at the golden team facing each other.
A few days ago, she searched the family library and the academy library for a while to interpret the unknown words she heard during the battle between Geum Taeyang and Lee Dong-hun.
If there were any achievements of their own, they were.
Found in the Academy Library, a book that started with ‘Regressors have their own characteristics.’
Recalling the contents, she turned her head.
At the end of Lee Yoo-ra’s gaze was Golden Taeyang with a confident expression.
It was only one book at most, and it didn’t seem to be very reliable that it was tucked away in a corner full of dust… … .
… … Oddly enough, that thought lingered in my mind.
* * *
Hearing the siren announcing the start of the game, Cha Seung-hyeok was the first to act.
He drew two black daggers from the main sword belt at his waist and rushed out.
I don’t care about enemies jumping in the direction of my allies.
It was self-evident that he would take care of it behind the scenes, and considering his speed, it was only natural.
I will definitely finish faster than my opponent.
There is only one goal. Anya pulling the bolt of the AK came into Cha Seung-hyuk’s eyes.
Trampling the enemy’s rear row.
Since it was broad daylight without a single dark spot, he might not be able to fully demonstrate his abilities, but that doesn’t matter.
It was because I was confident that I would be able to smash these small puppies with just basic physical abilities.
From the start of the finals, his mind was filled with thoughts of just finishing this tiresome and useless game quickly and going back to rest.
It puts magical energy into its legs and leaps several tens of meters in one step.
Appearing above Anya’s head, he finished preparing to strike down the dagger.
The moment she stretched out her stretched arm and tried to attack Anya.
-bang!!
He crossed his arms to block the flag spear that was swinging at him.
Feeling a heavy blow on the back of his arm, he flew for a long time, corrected his posture in the air, and landed.
“As long as I’m there, you can’t even touch the fingertips of the sheep.”
-window!
Watching Chevalier slam the floor into the window, Cha Seung-hyeok let out a blank laugh as if he was full of energy.
I was wondering who would have prepared on the Geum Taeyang team as his opponent.
Certainly, she was well qualified to be his opponent.
“under… … , okay. Was it a Chevalier? It’s been four years.”
“I don’t know about attack, but defense is my specialty.”
I knew Taeyang would come out, but if he remembered his name, he would not be someone to fall for.
Even so
Cha Seung-hyeok, holding the dagger in reverse, frowned.
got cocky It means that there is an opponent who shows such confidence in front of him.
don’t say If I say more, it just hurts my mouth.
After compressing the leg muscles, they expand at once to create explosive speed.
In the eyes of the general public, it will appear as if it has disappeared in an instant.
Are you scared? Or are you unaware?
The platinum-haired gunslinger is nailed to his place and refuses to move. No, he bent one knee and took a shooting stance.
‘Well, okay. It’s nothing for me to worry about.’
Infuse magic into the dagger.
Swing a dagger that shimmers with ink-colored magic and cuts through Anya!
Cha Seung-hyeok mercilessly swung his arms at Anya.
– Chakang!
With the sound of impact as the metal collides with each other, his dagger fails to achieve its purpose and is stopped in the air.
The blade of the sword was blocked by the spearhead made of iron.
As I moved my gaze along it, Chevalier was standing firm with both hands clenched.
“… … I would have told you.”
In an instant, blonde hair and a blue flag flicker in Cha Seung-hyeok’s field of vision.
“As long as I’m here, you can’t touch her.”
“… … Base defense, it comes out dirty.”
“If you can’t keep up with the speed, you just need to get rid of the moving element. Since this side has an advantage in terms of the number of combatants, we took advantage of that.”
I understood their tactics at once.
As Chevalier, who stood by Anya’s side with a determined expression, said, his teammates are mixed with recovery types, so the number of people who can directly fight is 4.
On the other hand, Geum Taeyang’s team consists of 5 people.
Excluding the ranged dealers on both sides, the number of possible battles is 3 to 4.
Since they did not have a numerical superiority on this side, they placed Chevalier, who was armed with heavy armor and specialized in close combat, next to Anya.
“Did you use your own hair?”
After returning the dagger he held in reverse, he struck his own head.
It’s been a while since I gave you a tum.
“Even though you are specialized in defense.”
Cha Seung-hyeok disappeared from Chevalier’s field of view.
“How long can I last?”
When he turned his head at the sound behind him, Chevalier could see the dagger being slashed at him.
I hurriedly raised my left hand with the gauntlet on and grabbed it.
-bang!
The sound of metal between the blade of the dagger and the Chevalier’s gauntlet was drowned out by the sound of the AK.
Anya, who continued shooting under Chevalier, bit her lip.
* * *
There was someone blocking my way as I headed towards Lee Young-woong and Lee Gyu-tae in the back row.
The black brown bobbed hair that seems to have been cut with a ruler is the first thing you see.
Underneath that, he had a sharp look, a tall height for a woman, and a sharp light at the tip of a spearhead that was as tall as himself.
reason
When I turned my head for a moment, Kang Hyuk and Andrew were dealing with Choi Gyuri.
Even if the two attack her together, it is unclear whether they will be able to win.
On the other side, Chevalier was holding up well against Cha Seung-hyuk.
Fortunately, Anya is constantly keeping Lee Young-woong in check to prevent him from using big skills.
I don’t know how Lee Kyu-tae, whom I talked about yesterday, will cooperate with, but I still planned a strategy in the direction of being as careful as possible.
The balance is just right.
Due to the nature of team warfare, it is bound to be heavily influenced by external factors – other team members.
No matter how much I do 1 vs 2, 1 vs 3, if the other 4 are swept away, it means that it is out.
then… … .
Design the flow of the game so that I can grasp it as much as possible.
The result is the current equilibrium.
Cha Seung-hyeok, who boasts overwhelming speed but lacks offensive power, is given a Chevalier with ridiculous anti-personnel defense.
Of course, the lack of attack power means that it is lacking compared to the speed he possesses, but it does not mean that he is weak.
Choi Gyu-ri, who has excellent attack power but lacks retention, was assigned Andrew, who is good at sustaining combat.
Kang Hyuk was also put in to make up for the lack of combat power, so it should be possible to deal with him.
It’s a matter of how long you can hold out.
I stopped thinking and took my hand to the sword belt at my waist.
In the field of vision, Lee Young-woong’s magic flesh was flying from the front, but he did not pull out his sword and swing it.
-bang!
The sound of Anya’s gunfire was heard from behind, and the magic flesh was shot down by a beam of light and crashed into the air.
The mass of magic power that fell to the ground soon dispersed into the air and disappeared.
Lee Yoo-ra’s short bobbed hair was blown away by the gentle wind.
‘What if the hair on the side of my cheek goes into my mouth?’
I stared at her silently, thinking for a moment.
Soon, Lee Yoo-ra’s mouth is open and a beautiful voice leaks out of her mouth.
“You’re my opponent, so you’re saying you’re confident that you won the last match?”
There is a mixture of a little displeasure and goodwill.
I decided to tell her without lies.
Because there was no reason to think of excuses in the yard that came this far.
“Oh, right. I thought you could win Because I have experience winning.”
Occasionally, the sound of metal colliding with metal can be heard from behind, accompanied by an explosion.
It still rang sparsely and leisurely, as if telling me how much time I had left.
He continued to speak towards Lee Yu-ra, who was biting her lower lip.
“I want to win. It’s a board made with everything I can mobilize.”
It’s true. Even though her team is Tier 1, I made use of their weaknesses and compatibility that I knew, and maximized efficiency with the resources I had.
At the end, I can only say ‘I was lucky’, but I ended up buying the opposing team’s healer.
“… … I do not understand.”
Lee Yu-ra’s gaze moved to Kang-hyeok, who was fighting fiercely with Choi Gyu-ri.
She asks me with an expression of incomprehension.
“For what purpose do you take care of them so diligently? Just because you’re friends? Or do you have something else to receive?”
I don’t know where, what, or how I heard it.
Of course, there was a trade with the Sword Master.
The reason for raising Kang Hyuk is also clear.
but.
I was dumbfounded by her words.
No matter how much she was a rich girl and among the kids full of personality, she was overlooking the most important thing right now.
So I decided to wake you up.
“Students are desperate to get good grades. What’s wrong?”
At my words, she opened her mouth for an instant and put on a blank expression.
“I don’t know because you’re from a rich family, but I can’t get a job if I’m not good enough.”
“… … ”
“If you understand, grab your weapon and grit your teeth.”
“you are… … .”
Lee Yu-ra, who was about to say something, shook her head and slammed the floor with the spear she was holding.
-Kang.
Watching her grabbing the lightly protruding spearhead with both hands and aiming the tip of her sword at me.
– Tsurreung.
I pulled the handle of the sword.
He aimed the tip of his sword, which emitted a clear metallic sound, toward Lee Yoo-ra’s heart.
