The Empire’s most elaborate stadium, the ‘Colosseum of Meeting’, was located in the center of the Academy.
A maze-like structure with a total of four floors of arches and complex stairs and passages. The inside of the thick walls of the Colosseum are full of complex magical techniques carved into them.
As it is a space where the best talents fight, there is a defensive magic circle of similar strength to the outer wall of the imperial palace.
It is so strong that the last time the bricks of this Colosseum had even a small scratch was 300 years ago, when ‘Archmage Delrin’ fought the ‘Witch of Destruction’.
“There’s something like that inside the wall. “I don’t feel anything in particular.”
“Does Ruid believe in the legend of Delrin?”
“huh. believe.”
There was nothing to believe or not believe. The character ‘Grand Wizard Delrin’ was the most important character in the play.
Hersy said playfully.
“As expected, she is a fairy from Delrin.”
“The fairy said you shouldn’t do that?”
“Ahaha, sorry.”
Ruid headed to the waiting room with Hercy. It was for the upcoming demonstration sparring. Amelia will be in it.
I moved along the complex passageways of the Colosseum a few times. Hersi looked around carefully to see if he was familiar with it. When I asked out of curiosity, Hercy responded as follows.
“I memorized the entire Colosseum map because I was personally interested in it.”
‘Where is the person who memorizes maps for fun?’
Ruid sometimes thought that the real genius was Hersy. Ruid arrived at the waiting room and opened the door.
The Colosseum was originally a place where gladiators fought duels. Most of the waiting rooms belonged to low-class people, but the academy was mostly for nobles.
The waiting room was very spacious and comfortable. In the middle was Amelia with her arms crossed.
Amelia, who seemed angry, was approaching with great strides. When she saw Hercy, she bowed briefly with a kind smile and then glared at Ruid.
“Louis, where did you go yesterday?”
“yesterday?”
Ruid thought about yesterday for a moment. Hersy gave advice.
“You said you wanted to watch the horses yesterday so you slept on straw.”
“ah. Straw. “I slept there.”
Although I spend most of my time at the lake in Delrin, I wasn’t always there. There were times when Ruid was bored too.
“Why are you sleeping on straw? The mansion is still intact.”
Amelia sighed and muttered. She had been wandering around for a while looking for Ruid yesterday.
‘What’s going on?’
Amelia’s attitude was a little different from usual.
“Luid. “Did you hear the story properly?”
“uh. “They said I should spar with my sister.”
Amelia held Luid’s hand. And then he said with his eyes focused.
“I can’t fight you.”
“…huh?”
“My sword exists for you. Even if it’s sparring, I can’t point my sword at you even for a moment.”
Amelia said that firmly. Hercy was impressed.
‘This is chivalry…! ‘This is what honor is.’
I made a mental note. I plan to use it on Ruid later. Hersi had a style that was greatly influenced by people around him.
“But, if things continue like this, there will be a lot of gossip. “It doesn’t matter to me, but I think I’d be very angry if someone told me what was going on behind your back.”
Amelia spoke seriously and gestured to the back.
“So I prepared.”
“?”
Ruid blinked.
This is because in the original novel, the scene where Lloyd and Amelia fight was depicted quite impactfully. I never imagined that Amelia would come out like this.
‘Amelia is different now than then…? Could it be because of me…?’
That said, Ruid really didn’t do anything. Before entering the academy, I just slept for a year. And I was dumbfounded by the ‘thing’ that soon appeared.
Thump, thump.
The waiting room rings. That means the opponent is big.
Grumble.
Huge chains were wrapped around his neck and arms. Amelia patted ‘it”s arm with a bright smile.
Kuooooo-!
Hersi’s expression, which had been smiling brightly in the warm atmosphere, stiffened at the ferocious cry.
‘…White Beowulf.’
A huge bear with white fur. It belongs to the highest level of monsters, and its nickname is ‘monster of monsters.’
It was here.
‘Well, it would be much better for Amelia to step forward!’
Hersi could only shout to herself.
“He’s a pretty good opponent for Ruid.”
Amelia smiled proudly.
**
Beowulf’s habitat was in the uppermost part of the North. Although it can occasionally be found in cold regions, it is basically a monster that is only famous for its name and is rarely seen.
However, it was also a monster that could be seen quite commonly in the Windsor family located in the north.
Amelia brought it because she wanted to smell the scent of the North sometimes. I didn’t know I would end up writing it like this.
So of course.
-Coooooo!
“Be, Beowulf.”
“Is that real…?”

“Then it must be fake!”
It was a monster that the Imperial Academy students had never seen before.
“Well, therefore, this exhibition sparring has been decided to be a match between student Ruid Christopher and White Beowolf.”
The students who were disappointed because of Amelia’s declaration that she would not spar became dumbfounded.
Of course, Amelia is stronger than Beowulf. However, humans could never ignore the visual effects.
Amelia was an elegant girl. The pressure from Beowulf was greater than that of the blonde girl.
Moreover, compared to the already small Ruid, the difference felt even bigger.
An earthquake was occurring in Hercy’s pupils.
“Would it be okay?”
Amelia, who was next to her, spoke to Hersi with puzzled eyes.
“Is there something wrong?”
“The problem is…”
‘Of course there is!’
But I couldn’t bear to say that to Amelia. Hersi cleared his throat slightly and said.
“I don’t have any. Even if it’s Ruid, the legendary monster White Beowolf is a bit… isn’t it?”
“hmm? A legendary monster?”
“…It’s said to be the highest of all monsters.”
Amelia looked at Hercy through the clear walls.
“It’s not like that. Lady Hersi. Beowulf is a common monster in the North. “I don’t know why there’s such a rumor.”
“yes yes?”
Hersi was quite embarrassed. Yes, it was White Beowolf. Called the king of monsters. A monster like that is a normal monster?
“It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a play partner. In fact, when Ruid is bored, he comes to play with White Beowolf.”
‘Wow, what about Windsor…’
I knew it was amazing, but I couldn’t help but be astonished every time I heard the truth one by one.
“Well, it’s true that I took advantage of that perception.”
“Use it…?”
“If I had passed without sparring at all, I would have been criticized. Starting with the fact that Ruid’s magical abilities were actually a bluff… So, as a way to put the rumors to rest, White Beowolf is cost-effective.”
Yes. Amelia didn’t put Ruid and Beowulf together without thinking. I chose the best way for my younger brother. Even from Ruid’s point of view, Beowulf is really an insignificant monster.
Hercy’s eyes widened. I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t think about that part.
‘…what would it be like if it were me?’
What would you have done if you were Ruid’s older sister? There’s no way to know since I haven’t been in that situation, but I think he probably just avoided the sparring or chose to lose.
‘As expected, it’s different. Windsor.’
Hercy lowered his head.
Once again, I realized that working with a genius is not an easy path.
Hersi keenly felt his limitations and lack of ability.
However, he soon raised his head stiffly.
‘I need to work harder!’
“Anyway, I’m curious. “What kind of magic will Ruid use?”
Amelia said.
“I’m curious too. Everyone is probably looking forward to it. What amazing magic will Ruid show? “Amelia, do you have any expectations?”
It was Amelia who I saw most often and for a long time. Hersy asked expectantly.
Amelia shook her head.
“well. I’ve never seen Ruid use the same magic twice. So, I can’t predict it either.”
“yes?!”
Amelia looked at Lloyd happily.
“Luid’s magic is creative.”
‘Every time I see it… it’s scary but cute.’
Ruid’s review of White Beowulf was exactly that.
A large star-shaped mark on his chest. A scar on the right eye, the symbol of the bear monster.
Above all, it is so huge that you have to raise your head all the way to see its face. However, the fur that looks fluffy and the cute black nose make me feel like I want to pet it.
Beowulf was howling as much as he could, his chains jingling, and his eyes were filled with madness, as if he wanted to tear humans apart.
“Sir, give me the signal and I will break the chain.”
There was no hesitation. Because he was a friend I saw often. Ruid nodded.
-Cr.
Whenever Beowulf howled as if he would run at any moment, he circled around Ruid to keep him in check.
You know it instinctively. What happens if you rush straight into it?
Ruid was worried.
‘What magic should I use?’
Amelia’s intentions were obvious. It meant not to get caught up in pointless gossip. Ruid agrees with that thought. There is nothing more annoying than someone you don’t even know who swears at you. At this point, I wanted to make sure that something bothersome didn’t happen again.
To do that, you have to show off some amazing magic. A great magic that no one can match.
‘…Shall I use it one more time?’
It will definitely be effective if you use it in front of this many people.
But, I didn’t feel like it.
That was just copying. I used it once because I was curious, but it wasn’t something I would take as my main product.
‘then.’
It’s original. At this point, it is time to build a main aircraft.
Ruid first stretched out his hand. Beowulf sensed the magic and came running straight away.
To Ruid, it felt very slow. In fact, it was not the slow passage of time, but the power of concentration.
‘After all, magic is an explosion.’
The idea came to me quickly. explosion. Let’s put something in and explode. Even in modern times, humanity’s strongest weapon has always been to explode something.
Ruid paid no attention to the approaching Beowulf and moved a huge amount of mana.
Immediately, numerous magic circles appeared from various angles around Ruid’s body.
‘It’s a bit difficult.’
As expected, using magic for the first time was difficult. Ruid chanted to use magic more comfortably.
“For mana, take the energy of the earth, the flow of water, the burning flame, and the whirlpool of the wind.”
The four elements were intertwined in the center of the Colosseum. The number of magic circles was doubling. The magic circle that was constantly being added soon covered the sky above the Colosseum.
Ruid clenched his fists.
“And overlap.”
Squeak-!
The magic circle of the four summoned elements distorted along with the sound of space being pierced.
The energy of all elements was concentrated in one place and a huge whirlpool occurred.
‘phew.’
Once the spheres of the four major elements were completed, Ruid was at a loss. Then time flowed normally again.
“——!”
White Beowolf was broken into particles and absorbed into the elemental sphere. Ruid opened his eyes wide.
‘You shouldn’t go there!’
I wrote this with so much effort, but it couldn’t end with the preparatory motions. I had to explode quickly.
Ruid shouted urgently. The name of this precious magic created with a lot of sweat is—
“Elemental Explosion—!”
Ruid cut the string of magic power supplied to the magic circle. The energy that had been concentrated in a sphere no bigger than the palm of one’s hand was released in an instant.
Ruid watched the scene brightly. The elemental spheres, which were black because they were so tightly packed together, were emitted with colorful lights.
It was as pretty as fireworks. however-.
‘Isn’t this too strong??’
Action was faster than judgment. Ruid hurriedly stretched out and put up a shield before the explosion reached the outer wall, like a puppy with its tail on fire.
thud-!
“—!”
It felt like my heart was going to burst out of shock. One cannot do it. Added 10 barriers.
Crack, cluck—!
‘Me, crazy.’
The exploded elements were struggling to somehow break through the barrier.
Ruid gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand. I clenched my fist. The size of the multiple overlapping barriers decreased and seemed to gradually disappear.
But it was difficult to keep it like this. Then, eventually, the elements gathered at the point will explode again. Ruid drilled a hole in the shield to provide a space for escape.
Piyung—!
Like a laser, five-colored light came out and struck the wall.
Fortunately, Ruid’s ‘element explosion’ magic stopped.
Rumble-!
…A disaster occurred when one side of the outer wall of the Colosseum collapsed.
The pride of the Academy, which had not had a scratch for 300 years, has collapsed.
‘…This needs to be sealed.’
Ruid broke into a cold sweat as he looked at the president with his hand outstretched with an expression that made the sky fall.
When the wall collapsed, the president’s cabinet must have collapsed along with it.
