Episode 22
There was a reason why I didn’t fully explain my talent.
Since I am a blood relative of Asen, I need to be aware of the tags attached to me.
‘I’ve been fine so far, but I don’t know what will happen… .’
For some reason, the Baárez family didn’t show much interest in my status.
That’s why I was able to avoid being discovered that I was a blood relative of the Asen family.
However, we must assume the case of being discovered as a blood relative of Asen.
‘If a guy who knows my abilities well turns into an enemy… … .’
There was no doubt that a very embarrassing situation was about to come.
So, I should not reveal anything about myself as much as possible.
Chris’ eyes twinkled as he accepted my lies as truth.
“Teleportation? Is it a good ability?”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
After a short thank you, he opened his mouth again.

Now that you know the abilities of your teammates, it’s time to decide on positions.
Regarding the position, it was so simple that you didn’t even have to use your brain.
“Shanze and Chris, who have abilities specialized in defense, stand in front, and I am in the middle. Let Kina-san assist us from behind.”
“”good.””
“joy… … .”
Chris and Kina immediately accepted what I said, while Shantze seemed full of inappropriate parts.
Rather than dissatisfaction with the position, it seems that I don’t like the way I speak in a commanding tone.
‘Looking at what I don’t have in my memory, it looks like they’re from an aristocratic family somewhere in the middle of the Pandemonium.’
After all, the clothes Chris and Kina were wearing didn’t look all that expensive.
On the other hand, the material of Shantze’s clothes looked different.
Even at a glance, it should be said that it looks expensive.
‘But it’s as if there is no hierarchical relationship between families in Saitan.’
The story of the human side of the Imperial Academy is centered on the nobility.
That’s why nobles have more say than commoners.
However, since Saitan literally trains ‘soldiers’, it is like taking off the label of family from the moment you take the entrance exam.
Of course, the story will be different when it comes to restraining the Seven Deadly Sins.
But the families I can’t even remember are not included in that exception.
‘I’m sure Shanche doesn’t know that.’
So don’t refute my words even though you show dislike.
There will be no risk of taking a sudden action in the middle of a battle, ignoring my opinion.
I stopped the brief fight with Shanche and looked away.
“Let’s watch.”
I was also curious about the swordsman’s fighting style.
I’ve written about it, but I’ve never actually seen it.
* * *
The first group was about to start the second test.
A group made up of ordinary demons that do not include any of the children of the Seven Deadly Sins.
However, as the names were the people who passed the first test, their fighting spirit seemed formidable.
‘If all of them attack, even I’m in danger.’
It wouldn’t be comparable to Crete, but it could handle a knight at a level below Peltz.
I looked at the first pair with some anticipation in my arms.
‘How will they fight?’
Are there gemstones that did not shine in the works?
How does the swordsman fight?
It was the first time I had ever seen a battle between demons and humans, so I was looking forward to it even more.
There is still quite a bit of time before our group’s turn comes.
In the meantime, let’s relax and watch the first pair of fights.
however,
My expectations were put to shame and the fight ended blandly.
swish-.
The moment the Sword Master swung his sword, the bodies of the two cadets turned red.
The two reddened cadets must have lost consciousness and collapsed on the spot.
‘Should I say I’m lucky… … .’
The cadets didn’t appear to be hurt.
It looks like he just lost his mind, probably thanks to a magical device prepared by Saitan.
Since it was a fake sword made of magic from the beginning, it didn’t seem to have any lethal power.
However, if you hit him directly with an attack that left him unable to fight, his body would turn red like that and seemed to collapse.
“Bo, I didn’t even see it.”
“Hurry up!”
The remaining cadets in the first group shouted to the fallen cadets, but to no avail.
The swordsman swung his sword again and even looked at the remaining cadets.
dump.
dump.
An auditorium filled with chilly silence.
After the Sword Master swung his sword twice, the first group of team members were annihilated.
‘I didn’t even have time to figure out the attack pattern of the swordsman… … .’
I looked at him with a hardened face.
I couldn’t even figure out how to attack that monster.
It seemed like I wasn’t the only one who thought so.
The other cadets also looked at the sword castle with empty eyes.
“Next, it’s Team 2’s turn.”
in a confused atmosphere.
Ares calmly calls out to Team 2.
Group 2 is likewise a group that includes only cadets I don’t know.
Perhaps the children of the Seven Deadly Sins, who were ranked high, were placed in the lower ranks.
‘If it’s the children of the Seven Deadly Sins, they’ll at least be able to figure out a little, if not exactly, about the strategy of the Sword Saint.’
Through their battles, the cadets might easily find out about the sword castle.
And that that’s the way Saitan doesn’t want it.
for a moment.
then… … .
Excluding the children of the Seven Deadly Sins, I must be the cadet with the highest rank.
It could be said that the group I belong to also takes exams quite late.
‘Somehow my group is 33.’
The group that the children of the Seven Deadly Sins belong to must be next to me.
Until our group’s turn comes, we should be able to learn quite a bit about the sword castle.
On top of that, you need to figure out the real criteria for passing this test.
If only winning the Sword Saint was the criterion, there wouldn’t be any cadets who would pass except for the children of the Seven Deadly Sins.
If so.
In the work, the number of ‘hundreds’ of demons belonging to Saitan who invaded the human world cannot be established.
There must be a probable device that can make up for the loopholes I created.
‘Should I put my thoughts aside for now.’
He decided that the first priority was to figure out the swordsman’s fighting style.
However, like group 1, group 2 could not escape from the set result and was mercilessly destroyed.
All of the 2nd group of cadets were wriggling on the ground, their bodies red.
“Next, Article 3.”
Ares gave a brief glance at the fallen personnel and called for the next turn.
Group 3 also looked fearful, but in the end, everyone rushed at the Sword Saint, and the same result came out as before.
Article 3 is also annihilated.
A heavy atmosphere descended upon the disastrous outcome.
Our teammates also showed quite a fearful look.
“Can we win… … ?”
“Hey, are you afraid of humans?”
Shanze gave a brief reply to Chris’ weak question.
Even Shanche, who said that, felt his legs tremble… … .
There’s no need to demoralize you, so just pretend you don’t know.
“Team 4, come out.”
The fallen cadets from Group 3 were dragged away by Saitan’s instructors, and Ares announced that it was Group 4’s turn.
And then an unexpected situation occurred.
“No!”
“Isn’t it obvious that you will lose anyway?”
Some of the 4th class cadets did not want to fight the sword castle and began to protest.
Ares closed his eyes as if he knew that, and opened his mouth.
“I get it. The two cadets do not have to take the test. Only the cadets who will take the test come out.”
Ares easily overcame the unexpected situation.
Two cadets who protested were excluded, and only 4 other cadets took the second test.
It’s a shame that two of the team members were suddenly excluded from the test, so they couldn’t even use their hands and were defeated by the Sword Saint.
Chris, who was watching the scene as if it was absurd, murmured.
“What, if you want, you don’t have to take the test?”
“It can’t be.”
I dismissed Chris’ question.
It was close to impossible for the two excluded to pass the second test.
According to common sense, it would be right to push and force them to take the test… … .
‘There’s something.’
There must be a reason why they were excluded without taking any sanctions.
And it is certain that it is related to the pass condition of the second exam.
So it was the next turn.
Article 5, Article 6… … Article 9.
The cadets were knocked down by the Sword Saint one after another.
Among them, there were students who refused to fight with the Sword Master and were excluded.
As before, Ares excluded them without a word.
And then it’s your turn to move on.
Article 10.
Article 20.
.
.
.
… … Finally, the turn of Article 30.
‘It’s crazy.’
From 1 trillion to 30 trillion.

Not a single group dealt a meaningful blow to the Sword Saint.
The swordsman is embodied as a magical device, so he doesn’t get tired.
Do I need to explain that Joe, who has overcome the sword castle, has not appeared?
“It will be our turn soon.”
“Ugh, I’m nervous… … .”
Chris and Kenna looked tense.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous either.
‘Still, there was a harvest.’
I felt it while watching the battle until the 30th group’s turn came.
Each time you move on to the next group, the battle time increases little by little.
It was not enough to find out what the swordsman’s exact ability was, but at least it was a part that could confirm that the difference in level between the junior cadets and the cadets who took the test first was significant.
In addition to that, he seemed to know the real conditions for passing the second exam.
“next.”
Even the 30th group was annihilated by the Sword Saint, and the 31st group’s turn came.
As expected, Group 31 also held up well, but was wiped out shortly after.
It was the same with Article 32.
“Next, Article 33.”
Finally our turn has come.
I walked in front of the sword castle with my teammates.
Then he turned his gaze to his teammates and said.
“I found out about the criteria for passing the second test.”
“What do you mean?”
Shanze asked me back, frowning.
To this, I shrugged and replied.
“The criterion for passing the 2nd test will be to attack even with an intuition of defeat in the face of overwhelming force.”
“… … .”
Shanze’s eyebrows twitched.
The word defeat makes me feel bad, but I agree because it seems to be true.
In addition to the statement that most of the cadets passed the second exam, the instructors’ expressions looking at the students who were excluded were not entirely good.
That doesn’t mean you can’t see talent at all.
It’s probably just trying to figure out what kind of abilities the cadets have through the battle with the swordsman.
It’s okay even if you’re not very talented.
From the point of view of Saitan, it is enough to use them as a shield.
in short.
It means that if you fight the swordsman and lose or win, you will pass the battle.
“but.”
Even if he didn’t risk it and fought, it was only natural that he would pass.
“Let’s catch the Sword Saint.”
I said with a mischievous smile.
Shantze made a face that seemed absurd at my words.
Does it mean that it is absurd because it is said by a half demon, not even the Seven Deadly Sins?
Well, how are you?
‘can win.’
It is possible if it is the talent of Adele, the best villain I have.
I took out the dagger from my bosom and shouted at my teammates.
“Okay, here we go.”
