Episode 43. Stop talking nonsense!!

-Gulp.

Swallowing saliva heard in the scene where silence comes and goes.

I too, for a different reason, felt my throat choking.

Because there is only one piece of chicken left in the box.

Damn, do I have to give Mr. Lloyd the rest?

“Are you done?”

No, Sensei, it’s not the time to eat right now.

“Yes, I am done.”

I, too, put the last piece in my mouth and looked quietly at the gymnasium beyond the stands.

The floor of the gymnasium is messed up by gathering mass.

The long, cracked part in between was the aftermath of Dale’s previous attack.

Anyone would find it absurd that the floor split in half with the aftermath rather than a direct hit.

“Heo-eok…”

But even the boy who made such an outrageous attack was not in good shape.

Because in the first place, the boy handles no physical power that can be sensed like mana.

Of course, in order to stably compress the force, an enormous amount of concentration would be required, so both the body and mind would be exhausted.

“I did it… ….”

Nevertheless, the boy was expressing his joy with his outstretched body.

The glass covering the ceiling.

Clearly accepting the sunlight shining from beyond.

“I did it, hehehe.”

Yes, sure, if you poured out that much, it would be refreshing regardless of victory or defeat.

Of course, from the point of view of those watching, anyone would consider it absurd.

It was a story that applied not only to the students, but also to the teachers like me, even to Harcyon, who was watching the referee.

“Beans. That thing just now, if I hadn’t stopped it, it would have died.”

That son of a b*tch.

On the subject of hitting the stones I threw like hitting homeruns on the front line, I was so nervous and sweating at the stones thrown by the child I taught.

Should I call this exhilarating, or should I regret the fact that I was inferior to my disciples?

“Do you have any objections?”

“…… Yes.”

But the one who realizes such awesomeness the most must be the child who became the opponent.

No matter how strong my desire to compete is, as long as I know my level well, I will happily accept the current results.

“I’ll admit it.”

And I will definitely try again in the future.

The fighting spirit that kid showed in this fight wasn’t something that could easily be extinguished.

Yes, if both of them acknowledge the current results and it becomes a competition in good faith… Afterwards, they will surely be able to promote each other’s growth as good rivals.

If the current duel ended warmly here.

“Winner, Dale… ….”

But unfortunately, I couldn’t be relieved.

The duel between the chief and the second chief is an annual event.

This was the first time that a duel between a commoner and an aristocrat took place there.

– KANG!

Yes, anyone can guess.

The result of this fight is not just a duel between two boys and a girl.

“This is a scam!!!”

The sound of metal crashing in the middle of the gymnasium.

The ensuing shouts moved Harsion’s gaze to where the sound came from.

A metal cup fell in the middle of the dance floor where the curtain disappeared.

An item that was too luxurious to drink with just water, was thrown from the seat opposite of the regular seat where I was.

Yes, it is a place where students from aristocrats are mostly.

“…Are you Esther from High School?”

“Miss Gale. Now… Are you trying to declare victory for that commoner over there?”

A student stood up there and began to stare at Gail indignantly.

As if you don’t want to acknowledge the current results.

“Esther. Are you challenging my judgment?”

Unfortunately, though, Harcyon values fairness.

Whatever the reason, it would be distasteful to try to meddle in your own judgment.

“That is natural. No, anyone in this room would think that’s natural.”

A student who gritted his teeth as if he couldn’t read Halcyon’s feelings.

After that, his gaze gradually turned to Dale, who was lying on the floor.

A boy who was startled by his shouting and stood up with his upper body at a loss.

“…Dale Enburton.”

Soon after the aristocratic student put Dale’s name in his mouth, he looked around and asked.

“Has any of the students here heard that name before the start of this season?”

“…….”

No answer came back.

As if that alone gave him confidence, the corners of the noble boy’s mouth began to rise.

“Yes, it is. I was an unknown student until I came to this academy. I even heard that I was an orphan from a lawless area…”

You are an orphan.

Aren’t you saying something out loud where people are listening?

“With that kind of background, anyone would know that the current result is wrong. It is absolutely impossible for that child to produce the current result with his own power!!”

“…Impossible?”

“That’s right, isn’t it? That thing from before was great, but it went too far! It’s not like he can do it alone!!”

Anyway, going beyond the supposed limits can also be a problem.

It’s so absurd that if you can’t believe it even after seeing it with your own eyes, it’s only natural that you can’t accept it right away.

“In short, are you saying that since the child’s status is a commoner, it is impossible to defeat the aristocratic Beans? Did you cheat to reverse the result?”

“Yes, isn’t that obvious? It’s never happened before…”

-Koo Goong!!

Intense vibration that occurs instantaneously.

It was a one-time shock, but that was enough to make the arrogant noble boy shut up.

“Certainly, it was unprecedented in the history of Maris to have a commoner compete and win against an aristocrat.”

Halcion continued to speak quietly in the silence.

Quietly pulling out the foot he had planted in the ground.

– Patter.

The pieces of stone falling from it teach us that the power carried by our feet is never light.

As if to teach that the strength of the past when he was on the front line was not a lie, he overpowered everyone here with just one step.

“But there are a few things you overlooked. If victory or defeat was clearly decided from the beginning, wouldn’t the duel itself be meaningless?”

“That, that’s…”

“Even if there was a reason for that obvious duel, it was I, not you, who allowed me to observe the duel and decided to watch it until the end. The thing is, it wouldn’t be strange if it was interpreted as meaning that he would challenge me soon.”

Quietly quiet, yet energetic enough to suffocate anyone who encounters it.

It’s very little, but it seemed to recall the sensation I felt when I competed with that guy on the front line.

Yes, expressing your life like that is practically the same as giving the other person a death sentence.

It was possible that he, who had been on the front line so bloodily, could only end with words because he respected his students as much as he could as a teacher.

“And one last thing.”

Harcyon, who suppressed his displeasure with such benevolence, soon turned his gaze to the seat in front of the nobles.

“I am not the only teacher who watched the current duel.”

Teachers from aristocrats who watched the duel in front of the students.

Their eyes are surely more accurate than those of the students, and the judgments that come out of their mouths must also be fair.

Even if the immediate expressions are all unpleasant.

Unlike immature students, they were aware of their responsibility for their seat.

“I’m asking you all. From your point of view, have you found any traces of cheating in the previous confrontation? For example, using unauthorized magic tools, or someone from outside delivering power or interfering with Beans. If an attempt is found, please let me know right here.”

“…….”

A situation where no one answers.

There were some teachers whose lips twitched as if they had a lot to say, but in the end they kept their mouths firmly shut and avoided Harsion’s gaze.

Of course. No matter how different Dale’s powers were from magic, there was no rule that he couldn’t use non-magic powers in this duel.

Without outside intervention, everything that happened inside the Veil would be considered personal.

To allow them to resort to tricks without being able to filter them out in advance is, in fact, to claim that Maris’s defenses are that weak.

How could someone who was an honored teacher of Maris claim that?

“Have you seen it? The teachers are so calm, so I hope they don’t force themselves any further.”

“Kuhh…”

An aristocratic student who was forced to do this reluctantly prepared to sit down.

Yes, with the teachers attending and watching, there is no way we can argue more than this.

But personally, I couldn’t help but think that this situation was a little cheap.

They are more conceited than the students.

No matter how much they say there’s nothing to blame, they back away quietly like that?

“Yes, Mr. Gale. Certainly, it would not make sense to insist on class alone.”

At the time I was questioning him, another person opened his mouth and stood up from his seat after the previous aristocratic student.

A female student wearing glasses with a cold expression.

Unlike her first emotional aristocratic student, she showed her cold heart in this female student.

“…Did I make it difficult for you to explain? Or was there a lack of explanation?”

“No, I think the teacher’s opinion is valid. Certainly, no cheating was found in the previous duel.”

A high school girl belonging to an excellent class raises her glasses and opens her eyes sharply.

After that, her fingers pointed at Dale who was lying on the gymnasium….. Exactly the way her bracelet was wrapped around his hand.

“As far as magic directed towards each other.”

…Damn it, drunk on the joy of victory, I forgot about it for a while.

Certainly, if he fell with that bracelet on, Harcyon would have no choice but to be in trouble.

He is a person who values fairness more than anyone else, and he believed that fairness meant excluding flexibility as much as possible.

“Miss Gale. Please take a closer look at that child’s bracelet now.”

“…… This?”

“Yes, as you can see, the function is disabled.”

Yes, Dale’s bracelet was actually disabled by his ability from the start of the match.

And Harsion said the first time he explained the rules.

When either side surrenders or, in its own judgment, it is considered that further engagement is no longer possible…

And if the energy in the bracelet is exhausted, you will be defeated immediately.

“That kid. Blood is flowing from your body.”

“Right, doesn’t that mean the veil didn’t protect her body in the first place?”

Students figure it out belatedly and start pointing out Dale.

Dale’s body began to shrink after receiving that gaze, but their malice did not stop.

As if they were trying to find a way out that was blocked.

From noble mtl dot com

“He was already eliminated from the match. He forcibly continued the fight in the face of defeat, so isn’t this the result?”

“This seems to be because the magic tools are not working…”

“That can’t be the case. Those of us who have fought here know best that the facilities at this academy are perfect!”

“No, that’s right. I thought it was weird from the start. In the first place, all the magic the lady of Jugret used didn’t work?!”

“It wasn’t that it didn’t work, it was that he hid the consumption of his veil with hallucination magic. This was nonsense from the start!”

After a while, the opinions were concentrated in one place, and even the students who had been cautious before agreed to the opinion and made the audience riot.

That is also the part that anyone who knows the whole situation would laugh at.

No, even if you don’t know everything, you might be able to connect the part where the magic was blocked from the beginning and the part where the bracelet didn’t work.

Even if the bracelet didn’t work, you would know that it was that child who won the final all-out war.

“This fight was already won by the Jugret family lady!”

“Negative, negative!! Get that commoner out right now!!”

“No, expel me!! How dare you do this in a duel!”

Nevertheless, they caught on to the culprit they had barely found, and began to make even stronger claims.

I know it’s great, but I don’t want to admit it anyway.

The moment I felt the heart that I never wanted to admit that a boy from a humble background went beyond being superior to them and did something that made everyone in this place shudder.

“Huh…”

Halcion put on a troubled expression at the reaction of the students and started to look around the aristocratic staff again.

Teachers who are silent and watching the situation even though they clearly know that their opinions are unfair.

That’s right, they just allowed Dale to win because they had no reason to argue.

However, as long as they found a loophole in the rules, they had an opportunity to assert their denial on the surface.

If Harsion dismisses corruption here, we cannot deny the possibility that they will stand up. No, it will definitely be like that.

“Stop the nonsense!!”

But immediately after that, a resounding cry.

With that, the clamor of the students on the aristocratic side died down, and everyone’s eyes turned to where the sound had come from.

The one who shouted was the audience seat I was sitting on.

I was a student from a high school located not too far away.

“No matter who sees it, this fight is a victory for that child! Are your eyes hung with decorations!?”

Continuing shouts as if screaming.

In the eyes that twinkled with him, they were stained with hatred that I couldn’t imagine seeing a student like him.

It’s as if you think you can’t just let go of the opportunity that came to you at this moment.
