Episode 127
We went outside for the test and went to the arena.
My turn to sparring hadn’t come yet, so I decided to wait while chatting with Luna.
The first sequence was a sparring between a female student and a male student.
The two of them aim wooden swords at each other with a grim expression.
Luna, who was watching the scene with me, started talking to me.
“Who do you think will win Adele?”
“Um, well. Both of them are formidable talents, so I don’t know.”
“… … They are both secondary.”
I cleared my throat slightly at Luna’s limp voice.
Somehow, the momentum felt from the two was too ordinary.
… … I don’t understand why you make such a sad face.
Anyone who sees it will know that Samuel and I are sparring.
anyway,
The confrontation between the two, who had made suspiciously spleen expressions, began.
A female student jumped up quickly and stabbed her sword at the male student.
but.
“Slow.”
“… … !”
The male student cut off the female student’s blade with a leisurely gesture.
This look reminded me of a stream flowing along a slope.
And he swung his sword as if mocking the female student.
An onslaught with devastating momentum that made it hard to believe the slow movement just now.
widely-.
The female student quickly raised a wooden sword and tried to defend it, but her arms trembled as if she was exhausted.
At this, the male student, who rolled up his mouth, raised his wooden sword high to finish it off.
A wooden sword soaring high enough to pierce the sky.
“It’s over… … !”
The moment the wooden sword with tremendous momentum fell towards the nape of the female student.
swish-.
The female student twisted her body again to avoid the male student’s sword.
Then, he tripped on his leg, which was bewildered.
dump-.
A male student who falls down with a big letter and suddenly looks up at the sky.
He tried to get up, but her wooden sword was already pointed at his neck.
Edea declared the winner as if he thought that further sparring was unnecessary.
“The winner is Haran! Let the losers work harder!”
By the time the first match was over.
Jerk-jerk-.
As he fell, the female student bent over and brushed my ear.
“It is my victory.”
“… … !”
His eyes widened at this.
“hemp cloth-.”
She stuck her tongue out a little, then turned and left.
And the moment I saw a male student whose ears were burning red for some reason.
I couldn’t help but shake my head in embarrassment.
“Sitan is not a place made for love play, but… … .”
After saying that.
Slightly lowering his gaze, he looked down at the thorns attached to his wrist.
flinch.
I felt a small vibration on the side of the thorn, as if there was something being stabbed.
“You can look forward to it today.”
[…] … .]
Samuel does not respond.
I laughed at this.
Samuel’s conceit will end today.
I’ll make Saitan a place where you can’t fall in love, even with all of my body.
It was when I was muttering with insincerity.
“Well, I wonder if it’s okay to be in a relationship… … .”
Luna responded by wiggling her fingers.
At this, Samuel began to speak with ridicule.
[I don’t think you guys are that different either?]
“… … What are you talking about?”
I pretended not to know what Luna and Samuel were saying and tried to recall the fight.
The combat prowess shown earlier by the two cadets of the auxiliary ranks.
This could be said to be slightly lower than that of a typical Saitan cadet.
My evaluation of this is
‘not bad.’
It was a bit positive.
I don’t know if it’s an individual, but there are about a hundred cadets with this level of ability.
After a little while, the auxiliary cadets will have skills equal to that of human knights.
If Fron’s enchantment ability was added to this, he would be stronger than the normal cadets of the Imperial Academy.
Even during the midterm exam, the cadets from Class A beat the human cadets without Terias.
It would be of great help to me if I continued to grow like this, but there was one problem.
‘… … I have to develop the Saitan cadets’ armed forces to the point of becoming theoretical instructors.’
That level should be helpful when dealing with the main character’s group.
But until then, quite a bit of time remains.
… … Perhaps the more experienced and experienced the battle, the more powerful the cadets will be.
‘I’ve grown so much even now.’
Originally, there would have been only sparring, which would have been unnoticeable.
But now it has reached a level that is quite worth watching.
This wasn’t a bad change.
They would suffer from pain and suffering every time they fought, but from the moment they entered Saitan, all the cadets must have been determined.
When I was so immersed in my thoughts.
[Now it’s your turn.]
“no… … !”
[Are you going to get a failing grade?]
“I hate that too.”
Samuel was teasing Luna in a playful way.
In response, I rubbed my forehead with irritation and reached out my hand.
Knock-.
[Let go, let go… … !]
Then Samuel began to glow.
I ignored it lightly and smiled slightly at Luna.
“Even if you don’t like it, it’s something you have to do, so have a good trip.”
“okay… … .”
Luna weakly shrugged her shoulders and moved her steps.
I waved my hand at Luna.
I spoke in Samuel’s annoyed tone, as if I didn’t deserve this.
[I don’t understand, why are you only kind to Luna?]
“… … Well, there is a reason for that.”
It wasn’t that he liked Luna as a member of the opposite s*x or anything like that.
just what to say
It might be more accurate to say that he is like a child brought to the water’s edge.
… … What should I say?
If you’re not watching
Because it looked as if it would collapse at any moment, as if it was drowning.
Besides, there were things like that during the midterm exam… … .
ah.
Let’s not think about this.
[Your heart beats faster.]
“… … .”
I quickly touched my ears at Samuel’s cheeky tone.
Maybe your ears are watery by now.
anyway.
Soon enough, Luna and Ryuk’s sparring began.
Each was holding a wooden sword.
Ryuk would originally use a real sword, but since Luna had a wooden sword, she would also use a wooden sword herself.
“Sah, take it easy… … .”
“I’m sorry, but that doesn’t work.”
bully.

No, Ryuk was overwhelming Luna from the beginning.
Even with a tearful face, Luna defended against Ryuk’s attack quite well.
Although he couldn’t counterattack, he blocked Ryuk’s attack.
If it had been a real sword, Ryuk would have finished it in one fell swoop.
Since it was only sparring and only using wooden swords, it could be said that it seemed to block well.
But it was definitely a huge step forward.
Even Samuel agreed that Luna’s skills had improved.
[I’ve spent quite a bit of time hanging around with you, so it seems like you’ve gained some skills.]
“Looks like it.”
I feel a little more reassured now.
Because Luna didn’t seem to die from being hit by a blind knife.
However, as expected, it seemed insufficient for Luna to win against Ryuk, who had combat abilities.
chuck-.
As soon as Ryuk cut Luna’s wooden sword, Edea declared.
“The winner is Ryuk! Luna did a good job too!”
“thank you… … !”
Fortunately, Luna was defeated in Dalian, but it seemed like she would get extra points from Edea.
So Luna, who had successfully completed the sparring, walked towards us.
“Sorry, I lost… … .”
“it’s okay. It was a great fight.”
[I’ve improved quite a bit, but I’ll have to try harder.]
We warmly exchanged good wishes.
Certainly, unlike the midterm exam, since it was held inside Saitan, a sense of composure settled down between us.
But don’t worry.
I explained to Luna the disappointing part of the battle that just happened.
“It wasn’t bad that he realized his lack of strength and focused on defense, but his vision was too narrow. In this case, as Instructor Ares said, we had to give up our flesh, figure out the opponent’s loopholes, and counterattack.”
“I can’t organize… … .”
Luna didn’t seem to understand my explanation easily.
Just as I was about to explain it one more time.
“Adele, come out!”
Edea called me by name.
Only then did I stop informing Luna and stood up from my seat.
Luna cheered me on.
“Bye!”
“hahahaha, I’m not the one to worry about.”
[You bastard… … !]
“… … Adele, you are mean.”
Luna and Samuel spoke disapprovingly of me, but it was inevitable.
A golden opportunity to push the arrogant Samuel’s nose.
That’s how I moved, releasing momentum like the darkness of courtesy.
Eris was already waiting for me.
Eris spoke to me with a very solemn expression.
“I know the class president is strong, but don’t take me lightly. I am also at the top.”
As I found out later, Eris’ ranking was in the mid-20th, higher than Luna’s.
Although it was awkward to compare with Luna, who was originally an auxiliary class, it was definitely not a low rank.
but.
It was not my adversary.
I spread my arms in an exaggerated gesture and went into an attack posture.
“Now, let’s begin.”
[…] … .]
Samuel’s feelings seemed to be felt all the way here.
This emotion was ‘tension’.
It must be that she is worried about the horrors that will happen on my hands.
Well, it was a joke.
After all, this Dalian was both a final exam and a Dalian.
Just like I had told Samuel, I had no reason to use a cruel trick on Eris, and I didn’t want to use it.
just.
I just designated it as a target to unfold my newly acquired skills.
Shh-.
I put my index finger to my lips.
And cast two spells at the same time.
Stealth and Silence.
It was the moment the two magics were applied to my body.
“Ugh… … !”
Eris, as my image became blurry for a moment, started screaming and brandishing a wooden sword to pursue me.
I quickly moved to a space where her sword could not reach.
I used location exchange.
Before long, dozens of arrows stretched out.
Because the level of position exchange has risen, there is no need for me to speak the casting words myself, like when I borrowed Adele’s power.
Among dozens of arrows, it automatically designated the most appropriate target.
All I had to do was mumble one word.
“movement.”
that fleeting moment,
My body reached right in front of Eris.
I exchanged my position with the wooden sword Eris was holding.
Eris’ elasticity burst out at this.
“You are too fast… … !”
Eris couldn’t even say anything behind her back.
widely-.
The nape of my neck was cut down with the blade of my hand.
And Eris, who seems to have lost her mind and the new model collapses.
Ssuk-.
I accepted her and said to Samuel.
“Isn’t this enough like a gentleman?”
[…] … What do you mean?]
In the end, Samuel couldn’t reveal that he was worried about Eris, and only grumbled.
There was a hint of concern in Samuel’s tone.
So, the winner of this match is
“Class president, victory!”
