The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

83 – End of the exam

I put my bracelets against Lakar. As promised, the scores were divided equally in half.

“I haven’t done much….”

I smiled silently when I saw Lakar scratching the back of his head with an awkward expression.

Actually, I did everything, but Lakar was a member of my staff and a friend who believed in me and followed me. That alone is not enough.

“I cooperated with you to do this in the first place.”

Lakar put on a puzzled expression.

“The chief and the second in the combat department in the Messiah club. That’s what made them two.”

At my words, La Carr confirmed the score and nodded his head.

“I guess so.”

Even if you fail the test, all your points will be taken away. The last score you had became your grade.

The two of us accumulated a lot of points by annihilating the bottom of the mountain, widening a huge score gap with the third place. Even minus the theoretical points, it was clear that the two of us would get the top and bottom seats.

I sighed when I saw Lacar still unable to hide his apologetic expression.

“Lacard, if you haven’t done anything, you can show it now.”

“Yes… ?”

I spoke as if I was deliberately provoking Lakar, who asked back with a stupid face. I felt like this would relieve some of the burden on my heart.

“Fight me and win. Then it will work.”

I raised the corners of my mouth at La Carr’s still hard expression, and added his words.

“If you’re thinking about doing nothing now, you might be really disappointed.”

After hearing my words, La Carre was silent for a long time. Finally, he gave a rough sweep of his face and nodded his head broadly.

“I have no intention of ignoring the general manager. Talking that far, I can’t disappoint you. I’m sorry, but I’ll take the chief seat.”

Only then did I smile brightly at La Carre, who smiled mischievously and shrugged his shoulders.

“It won’t be easy. I’m telling you now, I’ve already passed the first ordeal.”

“Already… ? After all, the manager is great.”

Lakar, who was holding a sword and shield, loosened his body and distanced himself from me as if sparring. Narrowing her eyes and staring at me seemed really reassuring.

With a satisfied smile, he aimed the spear of destruction at Lakar.

The spear had to keep its distance, but space magic freed me a little from that restriction. Whether it was melee or far, it was within my attack range with space magic within 50m.

And that Lacardo has already experienced enough.

Recognizing the space around him, Lakar lunged at me to close the distance with his shield raised. He knew better than anyone else that the more he distanced himself, the more disadvantageous he was.

I waited for Lakar to approach, then swung his spear briefly to keep his distance.

Bang-!

Rakhar immediately attacked with his shield and stabbed his sword with terrifying momentum, but it was an act that calculated that the attack would be blocked in the first place.

The entrance to the dimension was made in advance in the trajectory of the spear that bounced off the shield.

As soon as I cut off the sword that had stabbed me, I threw the spear I was holding and pulled it out through the exit.

At my sudden counterattack, Lakar momentarily twisted his body to the side and managed to block the attack. To keep him centered, La Carr put his body behind him, opening up some distance.

Bending my legs slightly, ready to stab the spear at any time, I also caught my breath.

Lakar was far from the typical form of sword fighting. He had neither a heavy shield nor hard armor.

He wore light greaves for mobility, and a round shield in his left hand. He wore a slightly shorter two-handed sword in his right hand.

Utilizing Lakar’s surprisingly good reflexes. The quick karate conversion based on mobility made the opponent’s hands dizzy.

As if wielding twin swords, even a shield was used as a weapon to block the opponent’s attack.

While driving without rest to prevent the opponent from responding, he waited for the opponent to counterattack to change the situation. It was a fighting method that created gaps by spilling attacks with a shield.

However, it was too risky to deal with me in a situation where I didn’t know when my spear might come flying behind me. Knowing that, Lacard also narrowed his distance, but he was cautious, saving his shield to block the spear that was aiming at his back at any time.

I deliberately created dimensional entrances as if to warn of an attack. It was Lakar who was in a hurry, not me who could aim for his back at any time.

At that figure, Lakar’s eyes shone from behind the shield. Seeing if he understood my intentions, as he looked intently at me, I fired a couple of shots straight toward the exit of the dimension with a smile.

A spear blade pouring from an unpredictable angle.

Rakhar rushed at me, twisting his body and using only his reflexes to slash the spear flying from behind with his shield and sword.

Seeing that figure, I was impatient and thought of the next move. Lakar, who needs to close the distance, somehow comes within my range.

I was in an advantageous position where I just had to stab the spear and calculate the next move.

To block Lakar’s approach, he constantly adjusted the dimensional exit and attacked. Eventually, Lakar approached me.

Dodging the spear he swung reflexively, he swung his sword wide at me, whose movement increased as he swung the spear.

However, I was already before Lacard approached me. It’s been a long time since I thought about the next move. The entrance to the dimension that was set up earlier still existed in the trajectory of the sword that Lakar wielded.

Just by adjusting the location of the dimension exit as planned, Lakar was attacked in the back by the sword he wielded.

Lakhar’s Artifact, which was green, has changed to yellow. Realizing this belatedly, Lakar pulled out his sword from the entrance to the dimension.

Though I was caught in my trap, Lakar’s look at me was full of joy, just like mine. The first meeting where I collapsed without being able to withstand a single blow.

Now I’m counting in a split second, predicting the opponent’s attack. It has grown to the point where it can frame battles for victory.

As Lakar stepped back holding his shield, this time I charged him from my side. If I kept my distance and choked Lakar, I would surely win, but for some reason I had a desire to show Lakar how much I had grown.

As a friend, as a manager. I wanted to show my growth to Lakar, who believed in me.

In order not to give them a chance to rest like Lacard’s method, they began to swing their spears. Since I didn’t have a separate spearmanship teacher, the real battle with Racoonta was really helpful.

Even though Racoonta grumbled like Lawton, he corrected my spearmanship by throwing lessons in the middle of each battle.

The room of trials was not a room for suffering, but a place to learn and overcome trials. Lacoonta was a good teacher for me.

While wielding the spear incessantly, an attack that was out of sight using space magic hit Lakar’s body in the middle.

However, Lacard read my attack with his straight eyes while defending against the attack without wavering.

Arms, legs, chest, thighs. The spear that came out of the dimensional exit stabbed Lakar in various places.

La Carr, who was blocking the attack with his hands busy, allowed an attack on his thigh in an instant.

Seeing that he lost his balance due to being attacked, I immediately created a dimensional exit behind Lakar and dealt the final blow.

I expected this attack to be the final blow, seeing the artifact’s thigh turned red after being attacked.

As if La Carre had been waiting for me to do so, he used his right foot as a stepping foot and twisted his body as if he had lost his balance.

In an instant, the spear of destruction glided past Lakar’s shoulder as he turned his back, and Lakar thrust his sword toward the dimensional exit.

As soon as Lakar’s sword came out of the dimension entrance, it touched my chest. Along with the heavy pain, the artifact turned red in an instant.

When I looked at Lacard at the unexpected counterattack, I could see Lacoonta overlapping with a grin.

A picture of me attacking using space magic in reverse. Lakar doesn’t know Racoonta’s method, but he instinctively read my attack and gave me his thigh to induce a blow from the back.

A number of fights in a short amount of time.

I wasn’t the only one who grew up in the room of trials. Lacar was also an opponent that could not be caught off guard.

Looking down at the artifact that turned red, I smiled at Lakar.

“The one who succeeds in attacking first is the winner.”

At my words, Lakar added strength to his grip on the sword. The eyes looking at me were full of heat.

“Go.”

“Yes.”

No matter who came first, we rushed at each other.

***

Lacar was similar to Racoonta. Reflexes to avoid spears aimed at the back, quick situational judgment.

However, Lakar was still a poor first year student. Unlike La Kunta, La Car couldn’t withstand the attack using the multiple spears in the space storage, and in the end, I couldn’t avoid the spear that landed on his head as I intended.

As planned, I, who won first place in the survival test, was immediately taken to the basement auditorium with Lakar.

When Lacard and I appeared in the auditorium, the noisy underground auditorium fell into silence as if no sound had disappeared from the world.

Now, starting with someone’s shout, I gathered my heart with a sigh, thinking that everyone in the auditorium would criticize and point fingers at me.

I was prepared to be criticized, so there was no fear.

It’s enough to listen with one ear, let it out with one ear, and make a shameless expression.

But for some reason…. No one was criticizing me. No, rather, he looked at me and gave me a strange gaze that I couldn’t understand, not criticism or anger.

Just when I felt strange, I suddenly heard the voice of a lycan.

“The freshman year survival test is over. Rest and wait in the dormitory until further notice.”

At Lycan’s words, the students began to rush out of the auditorium. I sneaked out and looked at Lakar, but no one spoke to me.

I even turned my head away in amazement when our eyes met.

I don’t know why, but Lakar and I looked at each other with stupid faces, shrugging our shoulders, and went back to the dormitory.
