Chapter 110 – 28. Sun vs. Wind (5)
“Oh, it’s dazzling!”
“What is this! Magic?!”
“No…! This is the [Sun] Attribute!”
[Ahh···!! Summoner Choi Ji-hoon finally starts his attack! He doesn’t have to attack me!!]
As the light of immense brightness spread in all directions, the audience couldn’t open their eyes properly.
Just as ordinary people could go blind if they looked directly at the sun in the sky,
The small sun that appeared on the stage not only caught the eye, but also took away everyone’s eyes for a while.
Literally ‘steal the eye’.
Of course I was an exception. My pupils, strengthened by [Heaven] Attribute mana, were unmoved by sunlight. Maybe Hyerin or Minho will have no problem as well.
I checked the condition of the two duelists while firmly covering the eyes of Ireina standing next to me with the palm of my hand.
“Hmm······.”
It seemed that this was the first time Choi Ji-hoon had experienced assimilating with his own attributes.
It was evident that he couldn’t control his powers. Mana was being wasted uselessly as the light and heat overflowed excessively. As the emcee screamed, he went beyond the dueling opponent and attacked the innocent spectators as well.
Fortunately, Choi Ji-hoon and the audience were quite far away, and the isolation barrier covering the stage in a hemispheric shape was still in place. There will be some surprised spectators, but probably no injuries.
Instead, Nicholas would be literally dying right now.
The changes in the arena did not stop at the intense glare.
An immense heat raged around Choi Ji-hoon.
Because of this, Nicholas was not able to approach his opponent recklessly. He was sure to get roasted if he approached. By the looks of it, his skin had already been burned.
“Keukssuk…!!”
It was best for him to move the air around him with the [Wind] Attribute and let the hot wind rushing towards him flow as much as possible.
In the meantime, Choi Ji-hoon, who had calmed down the energy in his body, began to slowly move toward Nicholas.
‘It’s over.’
At this point, I was sure of Choi Ji-hoon’s victory.
Now, Nicholas has no means of attacking his opponent.
First of all, there is no answer at close range. If I rushed forward with a sonic boom like before, my entire body would be burned and collapsed before I could even swing my sword.
It’s not like there’s a long way to go. His attribute is busy defending his master from the heat wave. Nicholas cannot defeat Choi Ji-hoon unless he has a special tool like Choi Ji-hoon’s pink powder.
Maybe if we went to Earth War and waited for Choi Ji-hoon’s mana to run out, we might be able to win, but the range of the frenzy is so wide that we won’t be able to withstand it until then.
‘Professor of Elementary Acceleration 1 will like it.’
When the Continental-class Awakener, who had been pushed back in technology, used his attributes in earnest, he immediately crushed the general-class Awakener.
It’s a story that attributeists will love.
As I expected, Choi Ji-hoon approached little by little, and Nicholas took a step back. Defensive stance. The composition was completely reversed from before.
Actually, before the duel, I wasn’t sure which of the two would win. It was because I didn’t know anything about Prince Nicholas’ level or how diligently Choi Ji-hoon trains.
I only guessed in my heart that Nicholas, who scored the best overall in the entrance exam, might have a slightly better edge.
Hyerin and Minho’s conflicting opinions also added uncertainty to the win or loss.
Nevertheless, I decided to continue the duel.
Because it didn’t matter who won.
If the righteous prince wins, all he has to do is expose Choi Ji-hoon’s crimes and expel him from the class. Whether on Earth or in another world, rape is a serious crime. Academy students, including the summoner, would criticize Choi Ji-hoon.
The reputation of all the summoners will not be without blows, but it will be less if they show resolute rejection of criminals.
Instead, the child I hate disappears from around me, so maybe it would be better?
I don’t know if Choi Ji-hoon can get a heavy sentence. This is because in another world, judgments are given by more than nobility, and aristocratic society is no different from the territory of the first prince. The punishment was to be contingent on whether Porcus would abandon Choi Ji-hoon or whether he would continue to patronize him.
However, expulsion from the academy is possible. Because the academy is the territory of the second princess who was appointed as a director. As long as the justification is clear, Soniel will follow my request and expel the rapist.
Conversely, if the rapist wins, he just covers up the crime. The fact that he was victorious against a noble prince would enhance the honor of the summoners.
Suspicion toward Choi Ji-hoon will not disappear completely and will remain to monitor his behavior, which will prevent a recurrence of this situation to some extent.
The feelings of the bereaved are honestly not my business.
If we had chosen to forbid dueling, things might have been worse.
Without any doubts properly resolved, an arrow of doubt will be pointed at us that we are blocking the duel because there is something that is bothering us.
[Ah! Prince Nicholas! I was finally cornered!!]
Nicholas, who kept stepping back, was eventually pushed to the end of the stage. He bit his lip in resentment and glared at his opponent with a look of determination.
Choi Ji-hoon took a heavy step to finish off the enemy with a mean smile.
There was no devil in his appearance as he pressured the swordsman with an explosion of light and scorching heat.
If the place where the two were fighting wasn’t a duel, this scene would have been a brave battle of a paladin against a criminal or a monster.
The red light of the sun bounced off Nicholas’ white hair and swayed to and fro.
Yet,
Phut!!
With a now-familiar blast of air, the swordsman charged the enemy at full speed.
Choi Ji-hoon also held out his arms toward the flying opponent with the attitude that this was the last time.
Stronger light and heat.
Rapidly burning hair and skin.
Nicholas’s shouting and Choi Ji-hoon’s rising corners of the mouth.
And-
Whoops…
A calm and calm echo spread throughout the arena, and at the same time, everything disappeared like a daydream.
The hot heat that heated up the space,
The intense light that seemed like it would blind you,
The whirlpools of air that were raging fiercely.
Only the blue moonlight that surrounds the ground illuminates every corner and puts everything to sleep.
Only then did the audience narrowly open their tightly closed eyes and survey the stage.
The sun disappeared like nothing.
Choi Ji-hoon stands blankly on his two feet.
Most of his clothes were burned and Nicholas was broken on the floor with his entire body reddened.
The temperature became cooler and the interior darkened than before the sun appeared.
And there was an existence that caught people’s attention more than any change,
Even though the sun hasn’t set yet, a huge full moon hangs in the air and casts a blue light.
Below it.
Adele Griff.
A third-year student at the academy and vice-president of the Public Security Department.
She stood proudly beside her judge with her arms crossed.
“The winner. Choi Ji-hoon!”
At the same time as the referee’s announcement, the waiting ambulance jumped onto the stage and transported the collapsed Nicholas.
I muttered while looking at the princess of Grif.
“Is [Moon] The opposite of [Sun]?”
* * *
Amer di Cairos went to the emergency room attached to the arena.
“Woe, Her Highness the Princess!”
“How is Nicholas?”
“Fortunately, we were able to treat it in a timely manner, so there is no problem. The burn area was actually extensive throughout the body, but now everything has improved and is normal. And…”
The doctor in charge is manly at the moment, but he is in serious trouble.
Should I give a report about the prince’s genitals to the noble third princess?
Nicholas, who collapsed on stage, was surprisingly erect. He even trembled as if he was healthy even though he suffered severe burns from the glans to the scrotum.
And even more surprisingly, his erection was still going on.
Respect for the prince bloomed in the male doctor’s heart. He was curious about the secret of his healthy masculinity. Is it because of the superior genes of the royal family, or is there a management secret unique to the royal family?
He said that his own genitals were abnormal and asked for a checkup. However, as a result of the treatment, his erection was a natural phenomenon, not artificial. No properties, side effects of treatment, or traces of drugs were detected.
ㅡPrince, originally, the penis sometimes gets an erection for no reason. Or perhaps the duel awakened the prince’s survival instincts, which led to his offspring’s instincts. In any case, it’s not harmful to the body, just wait for a while and you’ll calm down soon.
Far from being harmful, it is rather a phenomenon that proves that it is healthy.
Rumors were true that true warriors get excited during battle.
The male doctor was just jealous of the prince.
Anyway.
“······Today, after taking a break and observing any unexpected progress, you will be discharged tomorrow morning.”
“Good work. Is it possible to visit?”
“Sure. I’ll guide you.”
Members of the imperial family can visit patients who are unable to visit.
Amer opened the door to the hospital room and entered, gesturing to stop the stunned Nicholas from hastily standing up.
“Nicholas, good job.”
“I am ashamed and apologize for showing a poor appearance.”
“No. The opponent was continental level.”
Still, Nicholas was indignant. Even if I didn’t care for nothing in the beginning, it was a fight that I won. He should have won and received his apology.
However, no matter how much he laments inwardly, the result does not change. The loser was himself, and now that he was in the face of the princess, he suppressed his negative emotions.
Meanwhile, Amer was a little uncomfortable with Nicholas. She has been like that since she was a child. Since the two are of the highest rank in the empire and of the same age, there were many opportunities to meet at banquets.
But from the first time they met, he had an overly polite side to her.
This is a characteristic of the Bondranian royal family, which values order, but it did not fit Amer, who had no sense of the chosen people at all.
The fact that she still doesn’t let go of him and her privately speaks for her discomfort.
So Amer just asked directly.
“Nicholas, why did you challenge Choi Ji-hoon to a duel?”
“·······.”
“It seems like he moved as soon as he heard about the incident. It wouldn’t be too late to investigate and think a little more before taking action.”
Nicholas lingered uncharacteristically.
“·······.”
Amer did not rush him and waited.
And when he opened his mouth, he couldn’t shut his mouth for a moment at the unexpected answer.
“It’s very presumptuous, but… I thought it was for Your Highness’s sake.”
“······Me?”
“I committed it because I was momentarily furious that one of the summoners under your direct control was involved in such a crime. I am sorry…”
There was no political ulterior motive, no elaborate calculation. Nicholas acted on the impulse of his characteristic righteous heart and pure loyalty.
Feeling the sincerity of his answer, Amer laughed involuntarily.
“Puh… Ahaha!”
“?!”
I thought he would be scolded for being disappointed, but Nicholas’ eyes widened at the unexpected reaction.
Either way, Amer smiled, wiping the tears from her eyes for a moment.
Really, nothing has changed since the old days. Foolishly upright and naive. He will definitely stay the same in the future.
“Thank you. No, thank you. Nicholas. You did it because you thought of me. Thank you for your heart.”
“As a servant of the imperial family, it’s natural…”
“And, from now on, be comfortable talking to me in private.”
“What do you mean?!”
Nicholas’ head was dizzy from keeping up with the conversation. Amer didn’t bother to understand him and pushed on.
“I grant you the right to call yourself a friend of her original daughter in her private place. As the legitimate ruler of the continent, as a member of the imperial family, this is an order I give to my subjects. There is no right to refuse.”
Friends are people of a similar age who are dating for a long time and can help and rely on each other without any cost.
Nicholas deserved a friend.
Amer’s kind smile turned to Nicholas.
She wanted to get to know him.
When that pure will is fused with beautiful looks and the [Beauty] Attribute, it becomes a deadly weapon for men’s hearts.
Heartbeat
Nicholas’ heart beat wildly.
In a state where he was already vulnerable to [Beauty] Because of Choi Ji-hoon’s pink powder, a series of mental attacks were deeply embedded in his heart.
As a servant, he came to have a heart that he should not have with his lord. He was a very presumptuous wish and a fervent desire.
Amer and Nicholas continued their conversation a little longer.
—-That case was not me, no… I didn’t find it, it wasn’t something a noble I knew told me about… It was.
Amer naturally thought of his brother Porcus. More than half of the nobles are no less than his number. If there was a background, he was the most powerful.
…For now, put aside embarrassing worries for a while,
She told Nicholas about the summoners. How sincere, brilliant and nice most of them are. Earth is such a mysterious and interesting world.
It was an effort to rectify the misunderstanding because of Choi Ji-hoon.
Nicholas felt a dark, soggy feeling as he watched Amer’s happy smile whenever he mentioned Park Min-ho.
* * *
“Seobang-sama, how about my younger sister Amer as the next female?”
Soniel whispered, licking my ear lobe.
“I’ve prepared everything.”
I heard that there is a way to find out the source of the [Beauty] Aphrodisiac, so I found the ‘Palace of Heaven’ as soon as the duel was over.
I don’t know what that has to do with eating Amer, but my answer is fixed.
“I love you, Soniel. You are the best.”
