70 – Let’s go play

Let’s go play

The martial arts competition ended with Sojeta winning.

It has only happened a few times in academy history that a freshman won the championship, and the most recent was Supreme Commander Adelian, so it’s been a long time since a freshman won the honor.

There were reviews saying that Daejin luck was good, but in the end, no one disparaged Sojeta’s ability to confidently win in the final where only the strong remained.

The only problem was the match luck, so people paid more attention to the winner than to the other person.

Diana defeated Violet.

Although talented, Diana, who was considered one step below Violet and Sojeta, beat Violet in the round of 16.

Unlike other matches, the two fought fiercely for a long time, and in the end, Diana, who put her sword to Violet’s throat, won.

Violet, who looked relatively healthy compared to Diana, who had her bones broken and her head bleeding, admitted her defeat and praised Diana.

It was strange to see Violet, who had no interest in others, chasing after Diana asking how to use that skill.

Seeing Diana limping down the stage and Violet chasing after her, I was confused about who was the winner and who was the loser.

Diana, who managed to defeat her Violet with her lance, was unable to recover her body and mana with a day’s rest, so she withdrew from the next match.

Since his opponent was Sojeta, he went up to the top and won the championship.

Diana’s abstention makes people think what if.

It is a useless idea, but the assumption of what if between the strong is a constant topic.

What would have happened if Diana had met Sojeta before Violet? If Violet and Sozeta met first and the winner of the two met Diana, would he have won?

Various conjectures and what-if assumptions rise and fall from the mouths of the academy students.

The winner was Sojeta, but Diana drew the most attention.

And the rivalry between the three will not end until they graduate.

But since the martial arts tournament was over, it meant that the semester would end soon, and the academy students were too busy to pass the time with just what-if assumptions.

The academy students were busy with the f*cking schedule of tactical training, martial arts competitions, and exams.

“Raikang, I have a question.”

As soon as the exam is over, Sesset raises her hand and asks Rai a question.

“Why don’t you take the exam this time like last semester?”

Rai has been preparing for an ordinary exam in the second semester. They distribute test papers with the questions written down on them, solve them within the time limit, and submit them.

In the mana control lecture, a tournament called touchdown was held, and in the basic tactics lecture, it was too plain compared to the test that emphasized actual combat.

Rai, who was collecting test papers and organizing them, looks at the academy students sitting in their seats with calm eyes.

Hagwon students who suffered a lot last semester prepared for this exam with their teeth clenched together.

It is not simply test scores that are important. I studied like crazy in order to get revenge on Rai, who dug a trap and played with me, and prepared to respond to any problem.

But after taking an ordinary test, I lost my nerve.

At first, Mr. Toh analyzed the explanation he said, saying that he was hiding a trap again.

He’s obviously hiding something. As if laughing at the hagwon students named Rai, he only told them to release the exam papers and submit them, and even after the exam was over, the hagwon students still distrusted him.

Rai, who was stared at with dissatisfaction and suspicion, said in a somber voice.

“The vice principal told me not to do useless things and to do things normally.”

Ah, I admit that.

Everyone nodded in unison. It was only natural for Bright to say that because of Rai.

From noble mtl dot com

After saying it once, Rai continues to speak, as if it was unfair.

“We prepared a lot this time. We planned a super touchdown match. The winner of the class was going to invite a domestic champion to compete.”

“Is there a touchdown contest?”

“Isn’t there? But it’s a fighting game, so maybe there is? I don’t know because I only planned it and couldn’t execute it. If it’s not there, I can participate.”

Everyone laughs bitterly at Rai’s progress, which only increases the scale without recognizing it.

“I can’t really judge you guys properly with this boring test, but you’re doing too much.”

Rai grumbled and shook the test paper in his hand.

At first glance, he seems like a diligent instructor who is trying hard to evaluate the academy students correctly, but he doesn’t erase his doubts.

“Isn’t that because you were caught gambling on a touchdown tournament?”

At Sesset’s words, Lai froze to a halt.

Rai, who was scolded by Bright for participating in the academy students’ gambling, participated using Zeroa during the touchdown.

As long as the instructor doesn’t participate, she gives her money to Zeroa and makes her bet her money. Lai, who earned a share, was later caught by Bright and returned in full.

When Rai can’t meet her eyes and avoids her gaze, the academy students know the whole story and look at her with cold eyes.

“That can’t be.”

“I’m asking because it’s possible for Raicang.”

Seeing her total distrust in her eyes, Rai says her test is over and she runs away.

It was regrettable that the test was not fun, but whatever the reason, from the point of view of academy students who want good grades, ordinary tests are the best.

After completing her test, four people naturally gather in Rai’s garden.

After Philia learns from Rai, she learns from Selma, so she always arrives in first clothes after the lecture.

Zero A and Abigail also want to be strong, so she comes with sincerity, but Aslan is different.

Aslan, who has disowned the family and lives with Rai and I, comes to see her with three people, so somehow she participates in training.

Since it was repeated, the four of them naturally ended up receiving private lessons.

“It’s going to be a break soon, and here’s what you guys need to learn in the meantime.”

Rai demonstrates her spell in front of four people.

The four of them focus on remembering the spell drawn on Rai’s hand after seeing the spell that is a bit complicated but seems easy to master.

“Ah, I need to explain more.”

Lai, who did not explain properly in the beginning of the lecture and even confronted Philia, now has a habit of explaining, but she forgets it from time to time, not an old habit.

With her spell fixed in the air, Lai sits casually on the grass and looks around her garden.

The garden can no longer be called a garden because of training. Except for the tree in the corner, everything was torn apart, and if anyone saw it, it was a miserable appearance that would mistake it for construction work.

All the grass has been dug up, except for the place where Rye is sitting, it is half buried in the soil and looks sparsely visible.

Lai, who has a bitter expression at the empty garden where he can’t lie down anymore, turns his head to the four people again.

“Do you guys feel anything after watching this?”

“A training ground full of blood and sweat?”

“It’s a garden, you son of a b*tch.”

Rai, who bruised Aslan, is furious.

“Return this to its original state. Return it to my former beautiful garden.”

“I’ll hire someone to manage it and put it back to normal.”

The three of them are relieved by Philia’s words.

Of these, Philia is the only one who can afford it. Not to mention Zeroa, Abigail has the fortune she has accumulated doing mercenary work, but she goes to the academy and she continues to spend money.

Asran, who was kicked out penniless and lives in Rai’s house, also had no money, so she had to work to restore it to its original state.

“For the sake of my garden, you must thoroughly learn the art.”

“You taught me this because of the garden after all?”

“That can’t be the case. You must learn all of those spells for a higher level.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

Aslan tilts his head after seeing the spell.

It is a spell that includes defensive power that makes it hard, repulsive power that simply pushes it away, and friction that helps when climbing a wall.

Athran, who doesn’t know why these three combinations are necessary, looks at the other academy students, but they don’t know either.

“Think of the confrontation between Violet and Diana.”

The four of them are troubled by Rai’s words.

Because she had such a good match, she had a lot to learn, and thanks to Diana, who used a variety of flashy techniques, she is rather confused about what is the correct answer.

“If you compare the match between the two and Aslan?”

“It’s a stage.”

“Intelligence?”

“Is it clean?”

Asran glared at Abigail, who said she was intelligent, but she didn’t care.

But the words that came out of the mouths of the three people were all about Aslan.

“Philia was right. The two fought so hard that bones were broken and blood was shed, but the stage was barely broken.”

“Huh?! Really.”

After tracing her memories, Aslan nods her head.

“You bastard stop breaking the stage. Mr. Tennon was about to cry because of you.”

“Who is Mr. Tennon?”

“The convention stage attendant.”

After the match, Aslan, who has gained useless knowledge that the name of the obese staff member who always repairs the stage was Tennon, as if he is unfair, Stone Tornado asks if you didn’t teach him, but he only curses again.

After swearing, “Where did she come up with such a childish name?”, She returns to the original story.

“Let’s start with a story from a long time ago. Man’s best friend was the earth. The harder he stepped on the ground and the more he used the power of the earth, the stronger he was able to knock down the enemy.”

The four of them listen to Rai’s words as if telling her old story.

The land, the most basic element in the exercise of human power, is gradually losing its place due to people who are not like humans and who are transcendent.

To gain strength and momentum by stepping on the ground, the number of humans with powers that exceed that of the ground is increasing one by one, and the land is no longer a kind helper.

The advance angle, which was so strong that the floor was broken, was cool to look at, but the power was not transmitted properly, and moreover, to the warriors who gained the power of mana, the ground was no different from standing on a sandy beach unless it was a particularly hard place.

Warriors who have lost their helpers will eventually take care of themselves.

As their skills go up, they naturally learn how to gather mana in their feet and get a strong repulsive force, and the ground they walk on is as clean as Zeroa described it.

“The technique I taught you now is a technique that has been firmly established as a technique that is used unconsciously as the level increases.”

“If you learn the technique, you will be able to attack with stronger power… But…”

Philia says the points she takes while talking about the merits.

Filia, who learns Selma’s swordsmanship based on partial strengthening and short casting, is well aware of the problems with this technique.

As it is said that if you become stronger, you will learn it on your own, so this technique is helpful when you can use it as one body.

Otherwise, as if you had a hard time during the match, the timing is not right or your nerves are focused, giving your opponent a chance.

“Right. So you guys will just keep learning it during the break. Until you can use it like breathing.”

The four of them frown at Rai’s expression as if it’s nothing.

It’s easy to learn the spell, but it’s a complicated spell to use freely.

“Why?

At the provocative words, the three of them gritted their teeth and glared at Lai. Zeroa, who secretly raised her hand saying she couldn’t do it, was forced to learn by Rai’s restraint.

Facing three hostile eyes and nervous eyes, Rai shrugged his shoulders.

“There’s nothing difficult about magic. Even if it’s difficult, if you keep using it, you’ll get used to it. The problem is that it takes so much mana that you can’t use it much, or it’s dog-like magic that drains your mental power once you use it. But the magic I just taught you isn’t difficult. You know? There’s almost no mana consumption.”

As Rai said, there is no difficulty in performing the spell once you learn it. In addition, the spells were made very well, and there was no waste of mana.

Each of them tries the magic formula on the ground once and then ponders how to learn it.

Except for Zeroa, who was forced to participate, no one said they couldn’t do it.

Lai, who thought they were very prone to provocation, clapped his hands as if he had just remembered.

“Oh, let’s go play.”

“Yes?”

“Is this the right time to say that?”

When all four of them looked at him with a blank expression at the sudden remark, Rai shook his hand and said that he remembered it now.

“Emilia invited me to her villa yesterday. Everyone will disperse when the break comes, so she said let’s go before then.”

It is surprising that she just called the 6th princess by name, but Philia and Aslan widen their eyes as they are even more surprised at being invited by her.

“Hey, if you just call the princess’s name…”

“Why? He asked me to call him comfortably.”

In spite of Aslan’s disgusted expression, Rai answers casually and looks at the others.

“I’m going to play, so get ready. Oh, there’s no refusal. If you reject the invitation from the imperial family…”

Rai pretends to slit his throat with the blade of his hand.

Philia, who tried to refuse because it was her burdensome position, and Abigail, who didn’t want to hang out with her aristocratic bastards, immediately shut her mouth at Rai’s gesture.

It has nothing to do with politics, and only Zeroa, who is a good person, looks at her blankly. The other three keep their mouths shut in difficult situations and become depressed.
