100 – Gap Moe

-Kaang!!

Next.

-Huh!!

The next opponent too.

One by one,

Let’s end the match in a short time enough to be embarrassing to call it a sparring.

“…”

The air in the arena was starting to get heavy.

No matter how advanced the skill, each knight is prepared individually, so all the knights here are

Only those looking at the advanced from the intermediate level gathered, but…

“… Lost.”

I never thought I would be able to deal with it this easily.

Because,

I thought so too.

‘… What is it?’

I feel it every time I swing my sword.

‘Something…’

It’s different.

– Huung!

“…!!”

Though I was thinking about something else during the sparring,

The body automatically reacts to the opponent’s attack.

‘It’s strange, but.’

Maybe,

Is it related to the hero’s welcome?

-Kaang!

“…”

‘Oops.’

Let me continue to block attacks and lose myself in thought,

The other person is still looking at you.

Eyes mixed with surprise and resentment.

Obviously,

I was one of the knights who ran out when Seong Jin-ha first came…

To be honest, I can’t even remember the name.

Let our eyes meet,

I tried to expand the area by extending the shadows.

‘…Too slow?’

Thump!

-Hwaaak!!

Even then, when I stomp my feet and release mana,

Reversely, the territory is taken away like paint spreading.

‘Why am I so fast?’

I felt it from the very first time I used the Shading Ceremony, but…

The mana operation speed has become ridiculously fast.

In the past, if it felt like making up for the lack of operational speed with sophisticated mana control and reflexes,

Now it feels like the operation speed is in harmony with the mana control.

I looked at the blackened arena floor with an expression of disbelief,

As if he didn’t want to surrender, he started running toward me at high speed.

Anyway,

As long as you are standing on the arena, you are within the attack range of my shadow type.

-Koo Goo Goo!!

A huge wall rises in front of the female knight who was running.

I urgently change direction, but

-Coo-goo-goo!!

There was only one more black wall rising in the opposite direction.

Simply changing the direction and using mana as a shadow to create a huge wall.

No one here is stupid enough to not know the difference in difficulty between the two.

Because of that, there will be no one who doesn’t know the meaning of the speed of the two being similar.

– It is….

With the faintly audible declaration of surrender surrounded by a wall of shadows.

-Kwajik!

Just by clenching a fist, the huge wall is shattered and absorbed into the black floor of the arena.

Leaving behind the female knight who stared blankly at the shadow-type mana fragments like collapsing black eyes,

After coming down the arena, she moved her steps towards the waiting seats.

“…Looks like you’re good at it.”

“I see. Are you in good shape today?”

Let’s start talking casually with Seong Jin-ha,

I can’t help but hear whispers from my surroundings due to my enhanced hearing.

-… What is that?

-Aren’t you the kind of person who can’t use blood magic and shadow ceremonies…? That’s perfect

-It’s a monster. I understand why Jinha lost.

By the way, it wasn’t that Adela couldn’t use blood magic and shadow ceremony.

It’s just that mana’s range of control is narrow, so it’s just that they developed blood demon magic that can be used practically.

‘What. I haven’t used that much, so my proficiency might be lacking.’

In other words,

Even without using shadow food and blood magic, he is Merveus’ strongest.

It also means that Adela’s blood demon art has reached a high level.

“… Next.”

Lutia’s expression is not good when she calls out the opponent.

Of course, one of the reasons was that knights of intermediate level or higher, who could be said to have entered the range of veterans, were swept away, but

If things go on like this, the meaning of sparring to improve each other’s skills will fade.

‘… I’m a little sorry.’

Would I have known that it would suddenly turn out like this?

I called Leah several times to check the status, but

The only answer is ‘Wait a minute’, but it does not appear.

Looking at Leah doing this,

Something really must have happened to my body.

“Sung Jin-ha and Le Devia. Come upstairs.”

And it wasn’t just me that changed.

Seong Jin-ha also has yet to find clues about her blood liberation,

Due to Jinjo’s blood enhanced with her serum, the duration and amplification rate of her blood demon magic have been noticeably increased.

The time when the sparring time of intermediate knights suddenly becomes their own league.

“… What are they doing?”

A voice came from outside the arena.

Even though it was clearly a small voice,

A voice so powerful that everyone in the arena turned their heads to look at it.

Because that’s me too was no exception.

When I shifted my gaze from looking at my wrist,

There, I saw Adela looking at Seong Jin-ha, who was standing on top of the training ground with a disapproving expression.

‘… Your sister?’

Although the atmosphere and expression are slightly different,

The person walking towards the arena from afar was undoubtedly Adela.

“Everything… Captain?”

The figure of Adela moving her steps toward the visibly flustered Lutia,

He was the very charismatic leader of the knights.

“…Didn’t you say it was a sparring between intermediate knights? Why is Seong Jin-ha on top of the arena?”

“That… The members actively encouraged Seong Jin-ha to participate… Stop it.”

“Haa…”

I wonder if Adela had a rough guess about that,

Adela looked at the knights sitting in the waiting room.

“…?”

When I met the eyes of the knights sitting next to me,

Aren’t you looking at something wrong with your eyes wide open? I started rubbing my eyes.

“…Good morning.”

As I smiled and waved at the final blow,

Adela approached Lutia with the momentum to catch her by the throat.

“…Can you explain why Rai is sitting there?”

“No… That… Just happened.”

“What happened?”

“Marcel made a slip of the tongue… If you don’t accept it, it’s like ignoring Mr. Rai.”

Whoop!

“Heeep!”

At the same time as Adela and her eyes met, a heroine named Marcel started to hiccup.

“… I must have told you yesterday not to let Lai participate in the sparring.”

“Yes… I did.”

“I’ve heard of it…? You mean that now…!”

“I’m sorry…! Still, can Mr. Lai participate in the Dalian first…!!

He told me not to say that the captain didn’t let him participate in the sparring!”

“If I say that now…!”

Ah.

Somehow.

I don’t know if it’s the other knights,

Because of Mr. Lutia’s location, he must have looked for videos of martial arts competitions to search for talent.

Then you must have known that I defeated Seong Jin-ha with my skills…

The first thing Ms. Lutia recommended to visit Dalian was,

This behind-the-scenes story was hidden.

‘… But why?’

It is strange that Adela, who was supposed to come in the afternoon because she was busy, has already appeared at the arena.

No way…

‘Even though I said that yesterday, am I still overprotective of me?’

Adela sighed deeply as she took the documents from Lutia and looked at the matches so far.

“… You did a lot.”

“Yes…”

“I must have been mistaken.”

“Yes?”

“I told Lai not to participate in sparring,

Not to protect his little brother, but to protect the pride of middle-aged kids.”

At Adela’s words, the intermediate knights sitting next to them shuddered as if they were in a moment of anger, but

Soon, everyone nodded their heads and understood, as if the sparring had passed through their heads.

‘… What is this?’

So the conclusion is,

Isn’t it that I shattered the pride of a mid-level knight because of my anger?

Even Adela said she was thinking of me until the martial arts tournament, so,

Now that my skills have improved, I have won even more overwhelmingly in Dalian.

Adela, who was looking at her waiting room, opened her mouth.

“Your condition is worse than expected… Lai, follow me. Ah. Seongjinha too.”

A somewhat stiff tone.

It was the first time Adela used this tone of speech toward me.

Every time I call Adela every week, it feels like I’m talking to my mother, not my sister…

This is Adela’s workplace, and Adela was the head of that workplace.

And I didn’t deliver the forgotten lunch to Adela’s workplace,

I came to receive training as a member.

Therefore, Adela’s attitude is very reasonable.

From noble mtl dot com

So…

“Yes, Captain.”

It would be right for me to follow him.

After hearing my answer, Seong Jin-ha, who was on top of Adela’s training ground, followed Adela as she turned around and moved somewhere.

“Oh.”

I’m not here to do this,

I have to go soon too.

After following Adela, who was moving at such a fast pace, they arrived at the place.

‘… Come on.’

Even the gymnasium full of Adela’s taste in Martina seemed small,

A huge space that can be said to be the essence of luxury was revealed.

“This is a training ground for the Royal Knights, which can only be used by advanced knights or higher.

Originally, outsiders other than the knights were not allowed to enter, but…”

-Kiik.

When the huge door opened,

There was no sound at all, to the extent that I couldn’t believe it was a training ground.

“Seong Jin-ha.”

“Yes?”

“Go in first and say hello to the seniors.”

“Okay.”

‘Huh?’

Why did you let Seong Jin-ha in first?

Sung Jin-ha went inside the building without even questioning Adela’s order.

“…Rye.”

Adela spoke in her usual voice.

When I turned my head,

With her uneasy eyes, I could see Adela wiggling her hands around.

“…?”

“That… Don’t get me wrong if I say it too harshly… I’m angry with you or something..!”

“…”

I feel like an idiot for thinking Adela was cool, even for a moment.

You think you’re offended that I called you Captain?

“Haa… That’s for sure. I never felt bad about it.

Rather, I think it’s cool to see her working.”

“…Really?”

Okay then.

“It’s basically like this in front of everyone.

Don’t misunderstand.”

“Yes, Captain.”

“… Good.”

Sir.

I really worry about everything.

Following Adela, who was leading the way, we walked into the royal gymnasium,

Seong Jin-ha, who entered first, was greeting a man with a hard look.

“…A gun?”

Let’s take the question out of our mouths without knowing about the armament, which is very rare for a knight.

“… Huh?”

“Oh.”

The eyes of the man and Seong Jin-ha started to turn this way.

A man’s gaze is from what is this guy…?

Ah. Could this guy be? Around the time it changes to .

I heard Adela’s whisper in my ear.

“…You said you wanted to fight by my side, right?”

In that case.

At least. To be recognized by those who really fight by my side.

“… Come on.”

Lastly, the image of Adela falling from my ear,

From inside the gymnasium, one or two figures exuding extraordinary spirit began to appear.
