Chapter 65 – Class Battle: Class E vs. Class F (02)

There were no loud shouts or cheers. The voices of some people cheering for me only echoed very softly.

In a situation where the energetic students of Class E were cheering at the top of their lungs, I saw the student who would become my enemy.

Boy. He had an average body like Cylian, and he was an average swordsman or knight, but compared to me, he had a larger head.

I felt like a noble knight from a good house who appeared holding an elegantly thin wooden sword in one hand, but I didn’t pay attention to look at the opponent’s status window.

The other person, without any intention of understanding who I was or what I was like, grinned and glanced back at teachers Rebecca and Heidi. Judging from this, the child was in adult mode, so it seemed like he clearly understood the meaning.

‘I’m already thinking about that!’

They’re probably ignoring it outright.

‘Your abilities will be stronger than mine. Because this is a professional engineer. However, abilities are an important factor, but not absolute.’

I was also quite confident in my abilities right now. So much so that I’m confident that I’m at least halfway there.

Although it is not enough compared to the top students, at least it is not at a level where a fight is not possible, and in that case, I will compete with the swordsmanship and skills I learned from Marian.

Beep-!

The whistle sounded, signaling the 11th match, and the opponent took advantage of the momentum and charged at me first.

Even when seen from a distance, it felt like he was taller than me, but the closer we got, the closer we got to each other, the more I felt the height difference.

Since she was taller than Marian and had longer arms, it was difficult for me as a small person to deal with her.

‘I gained experience based on opponents who are bigger and longer than me, but they are not my opponents!’

First, I tried to make a horizontal cut to the top as a check, but I was able to avoid the attack without losing my center of gravity just by bending my waist slightly.

This is a reverse use of the small body, like in a fighting game where a short character avoids a top blast even if he stays still.

Of course, the opponent was not a fool, so he tried to block my approach by kicking up his knees, but since he was already losing momentum, I immediately used the famous swordsmanship to attack the lower body.

Bah!

“Ugh!”

After being hit by a wooden sword on the shin, his legs were shaken and he seemed to be astonished, thinking, ‘This bastard … How can he have this strength in a body like this?’ However, his stamina level was quite high, so he gritted his teeth and held on, slashing at my back with the wooden sword. I tried to do it.

Bingle.

However, I tilted my wrist, lowered the sword at an angle, raised the handle, and drove it straight into his side. If the opponent was prepared to get hit in the body and slashed at my back, I was bound to suffer more damage as I was attacked with my weight.

“Big!”

The other person didn’t seem that evil or evil, so I just hit them.

The guy, who was panting as if he couldn’t breathe, tried to make me retreat by swinging his sword frantically, but I blocked all of his attacks using the sword techniques I learned from Marian.

It is not sophisticated, its strength is weaker than that of Marian, and its speed is slower.

I worked so hard yesterday to get Marian’s sword, but if I get hit like this, I won’t have anything to say even if I get slapped on the butt by my sister.

Taaaaah!

In the middle, I took advantage of the timing when the wooden sword slowed down and struck it away with both hands, and the guy let out his grip and screamed, and at that moment, my wooden sword was aimed at the back of his nose His His His.

“Stop!”

The teacher in charge of refereeing probably thought the game was decided, raised his hand and called for a halt, and I turned around and retrieved the sword.

“Class F’s Aren wins!”

“…Oh…”

“Wow!!”

The students in Class F, who had been sullen just moments before, probably didn’t expect me to win, but they cheered all at once.

If it was so bad, wouldn’t Melissa have been screaming until her pale face turned slightly red, and then she was crying and being helped up?

Of course, there won’t be any danger with Teacher Rebecca accompanying me, but I’m that happy.

‘This feeling… Isn’t that bad?’

In the 12th round, Guardian Wizard Anna was defeated, but the score was already 8 to 4.

Regardless of the tournament result, Class F’s victory was confirmed.

* ​ * ​ *

There was a short break before the tournament started.

Everyone seemed to be very happy as several excited Class F students flocked in and made a fuss and gave various gifts to the entry members who worked hard this time.

– I received [Sweet Candy] As a gift –

– I received [Herbs] As a gift –

– I received [Herbs] As a gift –

– I received [Detox Herb] As a gift –

– I received [6 points] As a gift –

Stop stuffing your sleeves. Rather, there are only miscellaneous items!

Everyone’s point was that they were poor, so they had nothing, but they felt the need to express their joy, so they kept giving them small coins or gifts like herbs or candies.

“Let’s sleep. Everyone needs to rest so we can perform well in the tournament, so calm down a little.”

It was only after the Cylian came forward and asked for restraint that the excited students began to retreat.

“Oh, that’s right. We have to win the tournament too.”

“Sailian! I believe it!”

I didn’t think much of it since it was Cylian who won anyway, but Marian was adjusting her condition with her eyes closed with a determined expression.

In comparison, the students of Class E looked really gloomy, but some of the male students who had won and advanced to the tournament were showing their fighting spirit, trying to get compensation by winning the tournament, or saying that they narrowly lost by 1 point .

There were 12 finalists in the tournament, including the winners of the 12 rounds, so the tournament progressed to the semifinals and semifinals, and then a bye was decided by drawing lots.

Of course, the match did not last that long because someone who was injured in the previous match could withdraw.

“Aren won his first match without a draw. I’m jealous.”

Seri said that as if he was jealous, but in reality, even though he was the winner, he had expressed his intention to abstain.

Earlier, I was running away and wasting a lot of stamina, so I gave up participating in the tournament and took a break, and the preliminaries progressed quickly.

One girl from Class E who won against Dates, and Cylian, Kay, Marian, Ophelia, and me.

There were six people competing against each other, but unexpectedly, Kei lost to the girl from class E. To be precise, she couldn’t hit the girl’s face with her wooden sword, so she dodged a bit and just surrendered. It was my second match with Ophelia.

“Hmm…”

Ophelia lowered her staff upon seeing me standing there with her sword in hand.

“I’m out of mana today so I’m going to abstain.” I’m exhausted.”

Her status window showed that she still had 70% of her mana remaining, but it seemed like Ophelia did not want to fight with me.

‘I’m a bit disappointed about something’

When I returned to my seat feeling a little disappointed after winning by almost a forfeit, Marian was waiting for me, getting ready to compete.

“Please support my sister?”

“Sailian is also a friend…”

“Would you please support me?”

“Yes. I’ll definitely win, sister.”

As I said that, Marian held my head in her arms, acting as if she was absorbing something about her, and then she went on stage.

“Oh my. “I wonder if someone without a lover would live in sorrow.”

Cylian was grumbling next to her, holding up her wooden sword. She walked out onto the stage, and she punched me in the back, then laughed and said,

“I support you too.”

“I promised earlier that I would support Marian.”

“You just have to take turns cheering.”

“It’s not necessary to cheer on the guy.”

She went up on stage as Cylian played her part about being hurt.

Now it was the actual final.

The girl in Class E was already depleted of mana, but her Kei held up better than she expected, so she used up all the mana she already had.

If Kei had held on a little longer, she might have won, but her face was pale and exhausted, and seeing her try to use magic while stumbling because of the wishes of her Class E students, her heart weakened and she surrendered, so if they fight again, she will run out of mana. There was a high possibility of collapsing.

Anyway, no matter which of the two wins, they are stronger than me, so even if they compete with me, victory is guaranteed.

‘There is a possibility that there is a two-sided plan or an injury, but I don’t necessarily want that situation.’

And just as I thought that Cylian would easily win because the level difference was higher than expected, the whistle sounded and the two people rushed in as fast as lightning and crossed their swords.

Baaaaak-!!

In an instant, the wooden sword bends as if it were breaking.

The reason why both wooden swords did not break is because both had excellent swordsmanship skills and were able to take the opponent’s attack without damaging their weapons.

The two were exchanging attacks so quickly that Cylian’s blonde hair and Marian’s almost white silver hair were mixing together and flashing like crazy.

‘Is that… The sincerity mode of these two people?’

Everyone was overwhelmed with cheering and everything.

As the wooden sword broke in the air, fragments flew out and pieces of wood became stuck in the faces and bodies of the two people. Even though I tried to focus my mind and follow the two people’s swords, my eyes were unable to follow them.

It’s just that we become vaguely aware of the fact that we are exchanging attacks by seeing the changes in posture, sound, and the way each other’s bodies change.

‘Be strong!’

I thought Marian was a little inferior to Kay. Right now, Kay’s intelligence her her her her was low, but her strength her her her was overwhelming, her agility her her her was slightly lower than Marian’s, and her physical strength her her her was close to twice that.

But Marian, with her own swordsmanship and prowess her, was pulling out a level above the power her Cylian had displayed when dealing with her Kay her.

‘Sailian’s expression hardened’

The guy who was always smiling and relaxed was now fighting with his teeth clenched and his eyebrows furrowed.

Marian’s expression was closer to expressionless as seen through her white hair or displayed in the status window, but both of them were moving with all their might, moving so violently that even if the attack did not touch the body, their vitality She was reduced and they defended themselves with swordsmanship. Even though he was shocked and his body was worn out, he was swinging his sword with an expressionless expression.

“Sister… You’re amazing…”

I can’t help but wonder.

Cylian was great and Marian was also great.

Even Teacher Heidi was shaking her body as she watched the clash between the two with a mesmerized expression. As a former female knight, it seemed like her body was reacting instinctively.

Wow!

“What’s going on?”

Holio and Seri did not understand this situation.

Despite the fact that dozens of swords were exchanged in an instant, people except teachers and students who were well-versed in swordsmanship only thought that the two were fighting for a moment, but did not notice that the blows were being exchanged with the will to kill. Br〉

“Haa…Haa…”

“That’s amazing, class leader. I never thought you could improve your skills to this level.”

As she said that, the Cylian glanced back at me.

“Is the power of love really great?”

“…”

Marianne did not answer, but her right finger which was holding her wooden sword was fluttering open, and she held it in place with her other hand, fixing it and adjusting her posture again.

“Originally, I was planning on fighting moderately and losing… But if the class president is this desperate, it would be polite to do the right thing as well.”

Saili An also wiped the blood flowing from her palm onto her pants and held her wooden sword again.

Geomsae has changed.

Cylian grabbed her wooden sword, which she had been swinging with one hand, with both hands and lowered the sword. Seeing this, Marian’s eyebrows twitched and she seemed to have noticed something, but she did not hesitate and she used her famous swordsmanship again to strike Cylian. We attacked.

“It’s a great attack. There’s no gap. But.”

Baaaaak!

“Since we brought this out too… Ugh!”

She shook her stance as she struck Marian with her wooden sword, but Marian must have anticipated the recoil as she spun her body around and hooked her leg onto the Scylian’s knee her.

Puck!

The moment Sailian’s posture collapsed, Marian raised her eyes wide and stabbed her wooden sword towards Sailian’s neck. Even though it was a wooden sword, she was so powerful that if she was hit that way, she would die, so when the referee was about to stop the match, C.

But a little faster than that, Cylian’s wooden sword struck down her Marian sword her her her, breaking her stance her and placing her wooden sword in front of her her nose her her her. 〉

“It was actually easier than before, class leader.”
