68 – Karl Valescia VS Milia Britannia

Caang! Kang! Caang! Caang! Kang! Kang! Kaaang!!

“……”

Currently, only the sound of swords and spears colliding could be heard in the gymnasium.

Kaaang! Caang! Kang! Quaang!!

The best swordsmanship in Korea and the best spearmanship in the empire moved in a flamboyant fashion, and the academy students had no choice but to watch in awe.

The confrontation between the two students, no, the two unmanned soldiers, was so strong, beautiful, and intimidating.

Kaaang!!

As Carol’s sword and Millia’s spear collided strongly and bounced off each other, Milia calmed down for a moment before opening her mouth.

“It’s definitely quite good, he’s not just a mouthful.”

“……”

“But you’re getting tired of it.”

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa

At the same time as Milia finished speaking, an aura that was incomparable to before began to rise from her window.

“If you can stop it, stop it.”

Britannia-style spearmanship 4-star thrust

Wedge Wedge Wedge Love Liquid!

With the sound of the air ripping, the four auras flew towards Carol.

Quaang! Quaang! Quaang! Kwaaang!!

At the same time, Carol cut down Millia’s aura with a quicksword to the point where it gave the illusion that she was cutting, but Millia’s attack was just the beginning.

Britannia-style spearmanship 5-star thrust

Wedge Wedge Wedge Wedge Love Love!!

Quaang! Quaang! bang! Quaang! Quaang!

“Keugh!”

The power of each aura surpassed common sense.

Carol barely blocked Milia’s attack and tried to straighten herself, but Milia’s spear emitted light once again.

Britannia style 10 star stab

“what!?”

As the aura stabbing that reached his stomach in an instant attacked him, Carol had no choice but to evade by rolling on the floor in a hurry.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!

‘I can’t stop that!’

Milia’s thrust passed Carol and hit the magic barrier, and the barrier began to vibrate as if shaking.

woo woo woo

“Huh!”

“Hey, is this okay!?”

“Isn’t this power strange no matter how much you come?”

The crowd roared at the tremendous destructive power, but Carol couldn’t pay attention to that.

‘Ah~ I can’t win?’

The difference is huge.

No matter how much of a genius Carol was, he couldn’t beat the current Milia as he had just come and grown into a knight.

Milia felt the difference as well, so she said in a nonchalant way.

“Give up, I can’t control my strength anymore.”

“Sorry, but that’s a bit…”

“You must be feeling it too? It’s not time for you and me to fight yet.”

“……”

Carol silently fixed her sword and glared at Milia.

Looking at Carol like that, Milia also fixed the spear and said,

“The reason you blocked my ulterior motive earlier is because I took away my power in the middle. If not, you would have already become a corpse.”

“……”

“There is no second time. Give up.”

As soon as Milia finished speaking, Carol held the sword upside down and stuck it into the ground.

Abel Hartsian Shadow Forest

“…!?”

Suddenly, Carol’s aura that had stained the gymnasium black turned into a blade and started attacking Millia from below.

Miria looked at the scene and said.

“I guess there were still a few left.”

“You’re surprisingly talkative.”

Can-can-can-can-can-can!

When Carol approached Millia like a shadow and joined forces with a blade rising from the floor, Millia started to slash the shadows with her spear frantically.

Bang bang bang bang!!

‘It’s a real monster.’

It was a surprise attack that I thought went in perfectly, but when Millia successfully defended it, Carol quickly gave up this attack and launched the next one.

“what?”

When a black silhouette appeared from Carol’s shadow, even Milia seemed to be taken aback this time, so she paused her attack.

‘now!’

Taking advantage of that opportunity, Carol quickly approached with her alter ego and swung her sword.

Abel Harts Scissors Scissors

Shadow Alone Scissors Slash

Another blade protruded from Carol and her alter ego’s sword and started attacking Milia.

“this!?”

bang! bang! bang! Chow

Carol’s sword cut through Millia’s shoulder.

“Eh!? It’s eaten!”

“Good! Gara Karl!”

When Carol’s effective hit exploded, the students who had been watching in a daze came to their senses and began cheering for Carol.

On the other hand, Carol was embarrassed inside.

‘It’s a big deal.’

The attack just now was a trump card.

I wonder if it would do more damage, but with such small wounds, far from doing any damage, it was like touching the opponent’s nerves.

And as if Carol’s prediction was correct, Miria’s eyes flashed with a bloody light.

Britannia style 100 star stab

“crazy!!?”

Seeing the aura stabbing from Millia, Carol unknowingly spat out abusive words.

In the meantime, his body was steadily swinging the sword.

‘You can’t stop it! spill!’

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!

In the white beam of light, Carol and her alter ego frantically swung their swords and moved their legs restlessly.

puck! puck! puck!

‘Ugh! Lord, die!?’

The alter ego was destroyed by Millia’s attack.

The artifact was working, but it was unclear whether it could stop such an attack.

The voice of the referee was heard urgently the moment Carol felt death.

“Stop!!! Milia Britannia!!! Stop!!!”

The referee’s voice must have reached Milia, and her beam of light loosened slightly.

‘now!’

that little gap.

When a very small thread-like path was visible between the beams of light, Carol swung the sword without hesitation.

Abel Hearts Chou’s Jet Black One Island

Suaaagh!

A pitch-black slash that seemed to absorb light flew towards the spear Millia was holding.

Kwaaang!!

“…!!!”

Whirly Rick Caang!

Millia’s spear could not withstand the impact and flew through the air and became embedded in the floor of the gymnasium.

“……”

A strange silence fell among the spectators watching the scene.

“What, what? Did you win?”

“I-I think so?”

“No. They’re both still up.”

At the time when the students were buzzing in this ambiguous situation where it was difficult to decide whether to win or lose, Carol raised her hand and said,

“surrender.”

“……”

“I surrender.”

Karl Valescia declared surrender.

***

The next day after the exchange match.

“The weather… nice.”

Luke was walking on the promenade inside the academy.

‘……Those guys.’

While taking a walk, Luke was deeply troubled.

It’s because I saw the exchange match that happened yesterday.

‘This much… the difference is so great.’

It deviated from common sense before discussing the level.

Wherever you look at it, you mean a confrontation between students.

‘Especially that guy.’

Aren Deepus.

An unidentified High Human who suddenly appeared one day.

Even Luke couldn’t help but admire his match.

I knew Carol was great, but I couldn’t understand anything about Aren Deepus’ duel no matter how many times I watched it.

‘Besides, Tia also…’

The girl he’d been crushing on for so long was now so far away.

It was not a matter of distance, but a matter of ability and connection.

‘… I don’t think… I can’t.’

Luke was contemplating dropping out now.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t seem to catch up with his friends, and he looked so shabby when he saw Tia growing up.

As Luke was walking along the promenade with such thoughts in mind, he heard the sound of the wind cutting through his ears.

“huh?”

When a sound came from nearby, Luke’s steps naturally headed toward it.

And at the corner of the promenade, I could find two people, a man brandishing a sword and a man watching from his side.

“… Ron?”

When Luke called out to Ron Andrei, a man brandishing a sword in the air, Ron stopped his sword and turned his gaze to Luke.

“Luke?”

“What are you doing here?”

Luke questioned Ron, but his eyes were fixed on the other with him, Tail Boild.

‘Come to think of it, were the two of you in the same class?’

Tails, feeling their gaze, shrugged his shoulders and said.

“I was watching the training.”

“training?”

When Luke looked at Ron at Tail’s words, he slightly frowned.

“What… I asked.”

“… you?”

“okay.”

‘That guy?’

Luke had seen Ron since he was a child, so he knew how high his ego was.

Unbelievable that Ron had asked Tail to train him, Luke opened his eyes wide and said,

“Why all of a sudden? You, a lump of pride?”

“noisy.”

Ron gave a rough word and started swinging his sword again.

Tails opened his mouth on behalf of him.

“They say there’s a guy who wants to win.”

“… Aren?”

“maybe.”

Luke nodded at Tail’s words and said as if he was surprised.

“Even so, I didn’t know you would help Ron. I guess you two were very close?”

“No, we talked about it for the first time today.”

“huh?”

When Luke looked at him as if he didn’t understand, Tail said calmly.

“I lowered my head and asked for it, so I just listened.”

“really!?”

“Tail! Don’t talk nonsense!”

When Ron responded to Tail’s words, Luke stared at Ron with a look of surprise.

Sensing that gaze, Ron sighed and said.

“Luke, how did you watch yesterday’s match?”

“……”

Luke didn’t answer in particular, but just by looking at his crumpled expression, I could understand his feelings.

Looking at Luke like that, Ron said.

“Honestly, I was shocked.”

“……”

“It seemed like I couldn’t even imitate it with my level.”

Ron gripped his sword tightly, as if indignant, and began swinging it into the air again.

Unlike before, the sword moved nervously somewhere.

Looking at Ron like that, Luke asked.

“But why are you swinging the sword?”

“Because I want to catch up.”

Ron said to Luke without stopping his sword.

“I… like Tia. Do you too, Luke?”

“… whatever?”

“Aren’t you going to confess?”

At Ron’s words, Luke laughed and said.

“You gave up a long time ago? Don’t you do that?”

“I gave up too.”

“Have you given up?”

At Luke’s question, Ron nodded and said.

“It’s obvious that I like Carol at first sight, but how do I confess? At that time, Carol was really perfect, and if I tried to confess, I would have only been rejected.”

“And now?”

“I’m going to confess. Well, it’s like half of what I did at the restaurant last time…”

nettle liquid nettle liquid

Ron said, swinging his sword even harder.

“At the restaurant last time… Tia’s words shocked me in many ways…”

“Well… that’s right.”

Ron agrees with Luke.

A long-time crush, she liked her friend.

And that friend was too perfect to see himself, and he gave up on confessing because he thought the current relationship would be broken, rather than going well for him to challenge.

But now she likes someone else.

It was disappointing in many ways for Luke, who gave up on love alone after being pushed by a friend.

While Luke was thinking, Ron continued.

“I didn’t understand.”

“Are you convinced?”

“That the target is Aren Deepus.”

“……”

A man with the same thoughts as her was in front of her.

When Luke stared at Ron, he stopped his sword and said as if he were determined.

“So I’m going to give it a try.”

“To Aren?”

“okay.”
