Episode 210

Chapter 15 Comprehensive Swordsmanship Competition

Greta Academy’s final selection competition ended smoothly.

A total of 4 people were selected for the comprehensive swordsmanship competition.

Helmut, Charlotte, and the other two candidates were selected from the 4th and 6th grades, respectively.

Leon in 4th grade and Nils in 6th grade.

This is a selection based on the classification criteria of a comprehensive swordsmanship competition, and the lower grades will compete against each other, and the upper grades will compete against each other.

At the gathering of the four selectors, this fact was once again announced by the instructor.

“Nils and Leon, Helmut and Charlotte would fall into the same category. The bracket will be structured so that there will be no clashes in the first match, but as you move up to the next level, even players from the same academy may face each other. “Think of them as competitors rather than comrades.”

Instructor Patricia explained clearly.

Charlotte glanced at Helmut. A senior who knows her mother’s maiden name. Although she realized it too late, even her appearance resembled her.

Helmut and Charlotte, who were in the same lower grade, might have faced each other at a lower level if they were unlucky.

It’s not a bad thing at all for Helmut, but it’s extremely unfortunate for Charlotte, who will face it.

Helmut is a strong candidate to win this competition.

Charlotte also knew it implicitly.

But she didn’t pray to avoid Helmut. She just steeled her will.

‘I have no intention of losing easily, even if my opponent is Senior Helmut.’

The reason Michael went to Basor was also to provide reference for conducting a comprehensive swordsmanship competition.

Basor’s martial arts club has a deep tradition and history.

Among the countless bright minds at the Academy, Charlotte’s talent stood out, although not to the point of being unrivaled.

It was a talent that would generally be called genius.

Considering that she is a physically disadvantaged woman, her talent is even more remarkable.

Effort was added there. Charlotte herself was proud that her sincerity was second to none.

It is a competition held in Linosa. A chance to show off your accomplishments in front of your parents.

Charlotte hoped that this would draw her mother’s attention to me a little.

I wanted you to see what I had built at Greta Academy.

To do so, no matter how difficult the opponent is, one must not easily kneel down.

‘Even if it is realistically difficult.’

Helmut felt her gaze rest on me for a moment. Charlotte’s presence was strangely vivid.

The blood was squirming, as if somehow stimulating my instincts.

Helmut didn’t often have to be conscious of someone else’s presence. There was something about Charlotte. The feeling became even more intense.

Helmut thought it was a blood relationship. Is it a distant relative or a cousin? … Is he your biological brother?

I couldn’t even guess that.

His relationship with Charlotte will be established after he visits Linosa and meets her mother.

A part of my heart clenched. Helmut was probably sent from Linosa to the Forest of Pahe. The place where he was born and his life was erased.

‘When you go to Linosa, will you remember anything about that baby enemy, be it the air or the sounds?’

The sprouts of darkness awaken instincts. The name Linosa did not sound very familiar.

But Helmut knew that if it was where he was born, he would feel something the moment he set foot on that land.

My heart was pounding. With a different tension than that of a swordsmanship competition.

Instructor Patricia thought as she looked at the four starters with almost expressionless expressions.

‘Charlotte is a first year student, so I can’t expect much… … Still, he’s a member of Mr. Lee, so he might do well in a familiar environment.’

It would probably be difficult to find cases where first-year students were selected, even in other academies. It is natural that the pride of the 3rd and 5th year swordsmanship students who were not selected was greatly hurt.

This was even more true in lower grades. The first year students were selected, but the third year students were not selected!

On the other hand, first and second year students gained momentum. In the second year, two starters were actually selected. That’s because Asuka passed up that opportunity.

However, regardless of whether Asuka rejected the opportunity, it was true that Charlotte was in a position to seize the opportunity. 3rd place.

‘It’s so strange.’

Instructor Patricia took turns looking at the four people gathered together.

Nils, who was in his final year of graduation and had the appearance of a sturdy prosecutor, occupied the widest spot in the line of sight.

However, the one that stood out the most was Helmut.

Cold black eyes and black hair. A calm yet certain presence that even instructor Patricia often finds intimidating.

A boy like a well whose depth of skill is unknown.

Even as Instructor Patricia, I could guarantee that among the four people gathered here, one candidate for the championship would be Helmut.

Some say that the virtue of a prosecutor is silence, but if you have the skills, it’s enough to brush it off.

But the four people gathered here were completely silent. Like it was salty.

‘It’s better than talking too much. ‘I’m relieved that Asuka isn’t there.’

Instructor Patricia nodded.

“We are leaving for Linosa in a week. Until then, everyone, please take care of your body and mind.”

“yes!”

With the instructor’s words, they all left the meeting place.

Nils left first, and Charlotte bowed her head and greeted her seniors.

“then.”

Helmut followed suit and tried to leave. But a call behind him stopped him.

“Wait a minute, you there.”

Helmut looked back.

“Are you that guy who is called Alea’s friend?”

A fourth-year senior named Leon crossed his arms and gestured toward Helmut.

Leon, who had an aristocratic look, exuded arrogance. Rather than ignoring Helmut because he is a commoner, it is as if he just has that kind of personality.

Both the body and the body are in a fairly solid state. It’s just that those gazes are devoid of any kindness. It was a somewhat familiar name.

Helmut pulled his name out of a distant memory.

‘Xenia?’

When I took on a mission to Baden, Xenia, who escorted me, said that my cousin’s name was Leon.

‘They say he stands out at the academy.’

I didn’t know because I wasn’t very interested in Helmut’s swordsmanship department, but Leon was the top 4th year student in the swordsmanship department. And Leon would have beaten him even if he had played against Nils, his sixth-grader.

Leon opened his mouth with an unpleasant expression on his face.

“Your friend made my cousin cry.”

And now I found out, Leon was unfriendly to Area.

Area’s attitude was controversial.

Now that I can control the magical power of fascination, my likes and dislikes become even more evident.

“Is that girl-looking guy really that great?”

I guess he thought he would just listen to Xenia’s words and leave the guy in front of him named Leon, but that didn’t seem to be the case.

It seems that out of affection for his cute cousin, he told her various things about life at the academy.

“Area is a second-year senior in the magic department.”

“Is that such a big truth that you can ignore a girl without even pretending to know her?”

At the last meeting, Area coldly ignored Xenia and passed her over. She would have cried her eyes out and appealed to her cousin.

Leon loved Xenia so much that it didn’t hurt even if she put it in his eyes. When Helmut hesitated to answer, Leon urged him on.

“Answer me!”

Helmut knew how to answer here and the trick.

But is it really necessary?

For some reason, I felt cold.

Hostility toward Area was hostility toward Helmut.

Although Xenia was a good client who gave Helmut a lot of commission fees, that was a long time ago.

Helmut answered briefly.

“She was bothering me.”

Leon asked tentatively.

“Does this mean you were there too?”

“yes. And Area is displeased with those who chase her. I hope she knows that too.”

Leon’s jaw tightened. It was a clear provocation. Helmut was also secretly surprised at himself.

It’s not that I’m acting like Asuka, but I’ve never intentionally created conflict like this within the academy.

I became strangely sensitive. Is it because he is about to go to Linosa? For some reason, belligerence arises.

If Leon attacks, just defeat him and that’s it. An opponent as weak as a bug.

But Leon did not pounce. He gritted his teeth and spat out.

“Okay, I understand. “I’m looking forward to this trip to Linosa.”

Leon has hardly ever lost since entering Greta Academy.

His arrogance and confidence stemmed not only from his status but also from his obvious skills.

Leon was confident that he was the strongest in Greta Academy’s swordsmanship department.

In the fourth year of the swordsmanship department, the hierarchical relationship was clear due to the authoritative and arrogant personality of Leon, the senior student.

Everyone followed him and recognized his authority. Leon was the leader.

I tried to overlook my friend’s rudeness by apologizing appropriately, but how dare you respond like this!

‘Insolent bastard! You have poor manners towards your seniors. ‘I’ll make sure to fix it!’

Did you say Helmut? From the first time I saw him, he was something I didn’t like. His eyes and appearance.

I also don’t like the fact that it’s a 2nd grade topic and it’s rumored that my skills are comparable to those of an older grade.

It is enough for Leon himself to have that level of fame since he was in lower grades.

Even though it is a trip with an instructor, opportunities will come. Leon sharpened his knife inwardly.

“We’re leaving in ten days.”

Area nodded.

“Time is tight, but it’s okay.”

“what?”

“There is such a thing.”

Area was dumbfounded. A shadow appeared on her face. In ten days, we will be separated for the time being.

Area will go to Rinosa during vacation, but we will stay apart until we meet again.

Both of them felt empty in their hearts at that fact.

Area opened her mouth insinuatingly.

“By the way, that Charlotte… … “We’re together on the trip.”

“I guess so.”

They say Instructor Patricia is with them, but since they are in the same group anyway, she is with them too. She might even end up sparring.

Area slightly raised her eyebrows.

“I’ve been thinking about it. It’s just a feeling that he’s related to you, right? So, you don’t know what kind of relationship you have until you know for sure. In reality, there may be no relationship at all.”

“… … yes.”

“So, it would be best not to mix things up too much. “He might misunderstand, right?”

I felt like I knew what they were talking about.

“I barely talk anyway.”

Neither Charlotte nor I said anything.

And in fact, they weren’t even close friends. It’s just a bit annoying, but that’s just the extent of it.

“yes? “Then that’s good.”

Area grinned. Helmut had to stare at her face for a moment and be immersed in an inexplicable feeling.
