Tower (1)
When the round of 16 was in progress, there were significantly fewer people remaining in the waiting room. Again, since the match was held before the magic festival, the players of the magic festival were waiting for their turn with a more relaxed mind.
“Anyway, that’s something. Were those words true?”
Castell said while looking at the monitor installed in the waiting room. The monitor was showing the current stadium. There was Seo Ji-han and A-Class 56th place, Karl Ain.
Originally, Karl Ain should have gone up to the victory of his opponent ‘Ryu Seo-yeon’, but it seems to have suddenly changed. It is said that special circumstances overlapped, but I do not know how Seo Ji-han, who withdrew from the round of 64, was promoted to Ryu Seo-yeon.
‘Karl Ain would have agreed, but it could be something else.”
In particular, there was a big reason for the dissatisfaction of the other round of 64 losers. Castel asked Hong Jae-yu, who was sitting opposite him.
“Did you know?”
Hong Jae-yu, who was waiting for his turn, looked at the monitor indifferently and fiddled with his smartphone again.
“no. I don’t know.”
“Hmm. I thought they were best friends, but I don’t have a crush on them.”
“…what nonsense.”
Hong Jae-yu, who was looking at the phone, immediately frowned and raised his head.
Castell ignored Hong Jae-yu’s gaze and looked at Park Noah in front of him.
Park Noah, who had just been sitting, got up from her seat and came to the monitor to watch the game.
“Noah, who do you think will win?”
“Ummm…”
If it were Noah Park’s eyes, it would be accurate.
At that time, A-classes from the tower, who were listening to the conversation nearby, threw one word at a time.
“Isn’t that Carl Ain? Prince.”
“okay. Are you a gifted person who joined the Imperial Knights Templar?”
It was a word to praise the status of the imperial family because it was this time, but Castell made a gloomy expression on their face and made them more red. From the perspective of others, it could be seen that the prince disliked such utterances, but…
‘···Well. Was it the Imperial Knights Templar?’
In fact, it was because he did not know that Karl Ain was a member of the Imperial Knights. He did not have one or two knights, so of course he could not know all the knights.
“So Noah. I didn’t hear you.”
At that question, Noah Park looked back and said.
“I don’t think I need to tell you. It’s already over.”
“Are you done already? Who won?”
Noah Park leaned to the side to make it easier to see the screen.
It was Seo Ji-han who was standing in the arena in the screen.
“Surgeful victory!”
won
I sighed and touched the protective magic that was on the verge of being destroyed. Maybe he lost his concentration or because he allowed a critical hit at the end, he almost got a comeback.
Dalian can’t even use magic, which is my main force, so it’s safe to say that most of my power is cut. However, it takes too much time to use [Matan] in this narrow place.
There may be bullets reinforced with mana as a countermeasure, but there was no way to prepare for such a situation when they suddenly reached the round of 16.
So, of course, I went up with a sword…
‘This guy. Was he the guy in the top 100?’
I mean, it was close to being an extra.
If it hadn’t been for the currently active ‘For First Place’ perk, he would have been crushed even with his stats. He had fought one battle before, so his stamina wasn’t perfect.
Fortunately, I was able to lead the game by inflicting more damage with a counterattack using my ‘eye’. Fortunately, the movement of attacking was standardized, so it was easy to respond.
‘Anyway, with this, we advance to the quarterfinals.’
Either way, if you win one more time, you will qualify for the overall match. If you win the overall match, you will get a reward of ‘??’ indicated by the quest along with the weapon that is injured.
Who is my next opponent? I wish it wasn’t just a named character.
“haha. If I had known it would be like this, I would have refused.”
Carl Ale crossed his hand with a shy smile. He had a bad idea, lest he shatter his hand by giving him strength when he shook hands, but he believed in his cheerful appearance and held his hand.
“It was a wonderful swordsmanship. Did you learn anything from Captain Beatrice?”
“uh···. any?”
what. Beatrice, not the instructor, but the leader? She added her words because she seemed to know her something vaguely.
“I’m also a weapon master, and since you’re an instructor, I asked you to teach me a little bit. But how do you know that?”
“Five. I also felt like I was being taught by the manager strangely. I would have almost hurt my self-esteem. I am a knight belonging to Captain Beatrice.”
“Oh yeah···?”
He must have been a trainee knight of the Imperial Knights Templar. This is why I had a hard time.
“Did you know that the royal family also came here?”
“There are some of the knights of bad quality, so be careful. Because I might be arguing over this for nothing.”
Karl Ale even gave advice and went down the pitch first.
Well. Come to think of it, there was a setting that all knights under Beatrice were good-natured.
I glanced at Ale’s back and turned my gaze to the VIP seat. There were a few that seemed to belong to the imperial family.
‘Other guys may find it unpleasant.’
No matter what the circumstances, I got to this position by expedient and won even the Imperial Knights. Even if your skills have been proven, there will be nobles and knights who do not like the situation itself.
You’ll have to be careful as you’ve often dealt with such guys as side quests.
I also went down the stadium one after another and looked at the spectators. Mana-enhanced eyesight made it possible to see clearly even from a distance.
Familiar faces are seen.
Oh Yoon-ha, watching the game, had a fat expression, and Ryu Seo-yeon had a strange smile. It may be because of her mood, but it is an expression that mixes happy and sad feelings.
···But, even from this far away, I felt my gaze, and for a moment, I felt like my eyes met with Ryu Seo-yeon.
Naturally, as my body hardened, I realized that it wasn’t my mood. It was because Ryu Seo-yeon started waving her hand softly.
···scared!
uhh
I ran away to the student council room because I didn’t want to get involved in any trouble during lunch, but there was an ambush here.
“Congratulations. You said you made it to the 8th?”
“Oh, yes. thank you.”
The saint, Albain Grand, was sitting on the sofa, which had now become her own reserved seat, and was drinking tea that Chae Yu-ah had brewed. Looking at it, I could see how much of the head of the guard Paladins accompanying them from the temple was rotting by now.
“What happened after I abstained?”
“It happened because of various circumstances.”
“Oh. I’m lucky. I also have the talents of a paladin.”
I said cautiously to the admiring saint.
“I, my lady.”
“It’s a bit harsh to say this, but…”
As I curled up, Alvain put the glass to his lips and turned his gaze to me.
“…do you have anything to do?”
“Fuck!”
The saint, who was drinking tea, heard the case and pounded her chest.
“Clok choke!”
It was so bad that he coughed up to tears. The toddler hurriedly brought water to her while standing next to her.
Whether it was holy water, the saint drank the water hesitantly and took a deep breath.
“Whoops…”
Well. crashed
The moment you want to apologize right away.
Cong! Someone slapped me on the back of my head. Reflexively looking behind him, he saw Astiel waving his arms up to his crow’s feet.
“What are you talking about to the saint!”
Seeing Astiel full of anger, I patted the back of the head in pain. The little chilli is spicy, but it definitely makes your hands spicy.
“But hitting people in the head is a bit…”
Astiel looked at me with pale eyes.
“What did you do now? Does that mean you hit someone in the head?”
oh I have a history of beating myself.
The karma that crossed my mind made me shut my mouth. No, but do you remember that? Astiel also has a secret back end.
“Lady. Sorry for being rude. Without realizing it, I crossed the line.”
I bowed my head and apologized. Albain stared at me with squinting eyes. Eyes are still moist.
“The sin of insulting a saint. Do you know what you have to pay?”
I said carefully to the saint who set the mood with a strict voice.
“It’s a little bit like asking me to come in as a paladin…”
“no. That’s not it.”
The saint leaned over and looked under the sofa, then pulled out something. She and she flinched and proudly showed it off.
“Sweet.”
There was a sword of a familiar shape. The only difference from back then is that it did not contain the light.
“it···.”
Astiel, who was next to me,’s complexion turned pale.
“Isn’t that Sir Arthur’s sword?”
“yes. When Sir Arthur left it out for a while, I stole it.”
As an immediate answer, Albain nodded his head vigorously. Astiel touched his forehead, Albain got up and came to me.
“Don’t look at it that way. do you know Shall I awaken with the Holy Sword again?”
The saint handed me the ego sword, which was once a holy sword, with eyes full of anticipation.
“Are you sure it’s a price?”
“yes. Please hold this ego sword. You know what I want, right?”
“Well. I understand for now.”
I grabbed the handle of the holy sword, but of course there was no reaction. Because it was not a battle situation, the perks were not activated.
Even if he pulled the sword out of the scabbard, it was the same. It was an ordinary ego sword that didn’t even shine.
‘Of course.’
It was the power of the privilege that amplified the power of the Holy Sword at that time. The eyes of the saint who watched me holding the ego sword gradually went down. She seems full of disappointment.
“What. This is it.”
I took the lead sword again and returned it to the saint. The saint let out her sigh with her weary face.
“Eww.”
“Hurry up and return it to Sir Arthur… Ji Han. The draw came out tomorrow, would you like to see it?”
“Yeah, I’ll see you.
Astiel handed the pincup and handed me the paper. Here is the list of the solo exhibition to be held tomorrow.
My quarterfinal opponent was Russell Tales. I’ve never had any experience fighting an archer…, I’m guessing it’s okay. For the overall match, they had to win at least once more unconditionally.
‘Let’s see Park Noah…’
what. You and Hong Jae-Yoo will meet in the quarterfinals?
I wonder what will happen when these two get together. In simple skills, Noah Park will have the upper hand, but the use of magic and talent is different.
This is a contest where the person who breaks the ‘protection magic’ first wins, not by killing the opponent.
If you try to break the protective magic with firepower like you did with Oh Yun-seong, you can’t wait to see what Park Noah will look like in response.
I guess it’s not over yet.
The chain quest tower (2) has not been cleared yet.
Ryu Seo-yeon is with Oh Yun-ha by now, so don’t worry. She says she’s going to Ahart, so in time you’ll be able to figure out who the employer is.
‘The problem is Noah Park.’
The opponent in the quarterfinals is Jae-Yoo Hong.
Because it meant that collisions with the tower occurred in places other than the stadium.
When I checked the contact, there was a call from Aiden.
