554.
Before the game starts.
Wareden, who entrusted Illyana with the provocation mission, said.
“The opposing team’s main striking force is Chelsea Lwalin, Chen Xia, and Eyran Ersar. “It must be these three.”
I looked at Chelsea, Chen Xia, and Eiran.
“It’s not easy to get the ball back in those three.”
Maybe it’s speed.
Chelsea has an advantage over Duran in evasive maneuvers.
Additionally, while Celia and Duran defeated their enemies with overwhelming strength, Chen Xia defeated her enemies with flexible movements.
In Eiran’s case, he is literally the protector of his allies.
Therefore, once the ball is passed over, it is difficult to take it away.
“In the beginning, we will have to focus on stopping that attack. But if you see a gap… … .”
“I guess we can pass the ball to Celia and aim for the first score.”
Howl nodded and said.
When everyone agreed to that, Warrenden shook his head.
“No, our first goal is to eliminate Carl Thomas.”
Everyone looked at Wareden in surprise at those words.
“Why are you making such facial expressions?”
“No, I can’t help but be surprised. “Because you said that eliminating Carl is a priority rather than scoring first.”
Jureden said in a dazed voice.
In Bastera, under the assumption of equal strength, the longer the time passed, the more advantageous the defense team had over the offense team.
In Bastera, defense includes the ability to hold the ball, and the ball is the only means of attack in Bastera.
Holding that ball for a long time means that there are a lot of attacks.
As time goes by and your clothes get wet in the light rain, the defensive team becomes more advantageous.
“We won’t have that many attacks. “Isn’t it a waste to use one of those attacks to take down the sword?”
At Jureden’s words, the other students except Wareden nodded as if they were doing the same.
“In Vasterra, when an extreme offensive team and an extreme defensive team meet, the defensive team has the advantage. So most students think that Professor Rippen included Carl Thomas in the defense team to balance the situation. Even you guys.”
Warrenden glanced towards Carl Thomas.
“By the way, Duran Moira, Abad Lwalin. “Didn’t you just pick Carl Thomas as your most difficult opponent?”
“that… … .”
“Celia Gerdinger. “Are you also wary of Carl Thomas?”
“that’s right.”
“But I just perceive it as a nuisance and don’t think of it as a threat.”
“Well…” … It’s a knife, right? “The weakest in the second year.”
Turka shrugged.
“I’m not ignoring Carl. It’s definitely because of Carl’s skill that he has survived until now. Plus, the strategy is great. But this isn’t really a practical game, is it? “Do you think it would be a waste to exclude Cal while throwing away the opportunity to gain the upper hand?”
“That’s the most annoying thing about Carl Thomas. The viewer does not perceive it as a threatening entity. Even Carl Thomas himself.”
Warrenden curled the corners of his mouth.
“But remember this. He’s always like us… … No, in some ways, they are here after overcoming more hardships than us. And each time, the party members who were with him always drew out power beyond their limits. “You all were there, so you know.”
Celia, Abad, and Duran’s faces hardened at Warrenden’s words.
“It is clear that we are the ones who have surpassed the limits. But can you be sure that you would have been able to overcome your limits without Carl Thomas at that time?”
“that… … .”
Celia trailed off.
Warrenden said while looking at Celia.
“That’s what’s scary about him. Helping colleagues bring out their maximum potential. The longer he stays on the battlefield, the more he will find our gaps and strengthen the opposing team. “I think the key to this game is getting him eliminated first.”
Wareden’s eyes turned to Carl.
“I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether to target him from the beginning or not.”
***
It’s so scary!
A thunderous aura swirled around.
Nella blocked the ball flying toward their goal.
“Aaaah! “Avoid Nella!”
“You’re so reckless!”
Outside the stadium, male students screamed.
Nella, considered one of the most beautiful girls in the second year, was naturally worried as she faced Duran, who boasts the strongest attack power in the knight department.
Quang! Kwagagagagagagag!
When Nella catches the ball, grab! was pushed back
Seeing Nella like that, Chelsea urgently used magic.
Huooooong!
The wind blew and wrapped around Nella’s back.
Nella, who barely managed to stop, took a deep breath and smiled at Chelsea.
“Thank you, Chelsea.”
Nella, smiling, bounced the ball and walked towards the opponent’s goal.
The male students gaped when they saw Nella like that.
“Gwae, are you okay?”
“how?”
It was a time when the male students were surprised.
“It seems like you all thought of Nella Carven as just a healer.”

Professor Rippen, who was grading the grade, said in a disdainful tone.
“Of course, she was born with a great personality as a healing auror, but Nella Carven is definitely a top student in the knight department. “She herself is not aggressive. She uses defensive swordsmanship. As for her toughness, she is one of the best among knight department students.”
“Is Nella tough?”
“She’s a delicate and pretty girl?”
As the male students muttered absentmindedly, Ripen clicked his tongue.
Nella specializes in blocking attacks rather than defeating opponents on the front line.
The root of this is healing ability.
It is the best shield that allows you to heal your body while fighting enemies and buy time for the magicians in the rear to cast powerful spells.
‘It’s good to use your abilities to the fullest, but I should advise you to be a little more cautious.’
The reason why he smiles even though he is in pain is probably to ease the worries of his teammates.
At that time, Howl tried to steal the ball from Nella using Auror.
However, Tade used his summons to quickly block Howl’s attack.
“As long as I’m around, you can’t lay a finger on Nella.”
As Taide said with a grin, Illyana jeered.
“Woo~ Don’t be rude about Tade!”
“Nella, pass to Eiran.”
When the ball was passed to Eiran, Illyana quickly ran away.
The current score is 2:2.
It seemed like a close match, but the defense team was falling behind little by little due to lack of personnel.
‘It’s a shame that Carl Thomas was eliminated early on.’
The reason Rippen added Carl Thomas to the defensive team was not to give him a handicap.
Judging by his strength, he put Carl in the defense team.
‘The fact that I underestimated myself was what held me back.’
While they clicked their tongues, the tide was tilted towards the attacking team.
In the end, the attack team won with a final score of 3:2.
***
Carl opened his eyes.
“what?”
Carl stood up and scratched his head.
“I got hit. “You must have lost, right?”
“You know very well.”
“Ugh.”
Carl shrugged his shoulders at the voice coming from next to him.
There Eliza was there, with her legs crossed, trimming her nails.
“Eliza? “Why you?”
“Because I was the one who brought you to the infirmary.”
“you? “Not Chloe or Chelsea?”
Eliza raised her eyes as Carl asked in disbelief.
“Why are you reacting as if it’s natural for the other dorm leaders to take care of you?”
“No, that’s right. You’re like, ‘Hmph, why should I take care of Carl Thomas?’ “I’ll get my nails done at that time,” he said, but he wouldn’t even look at me… … “Wow!”
“You’re earning a beating, Carl Thomas.”
“Yo, forgive me… … !”
Carl, who was comically imitating Eliza and had his neck wrapped with a whip, spoke with difficulty.
Eliza relaxed and snorted.
“I just thought that if there was a president of the same dorm on the same team, I should take care of it. Furthermore… … .”
“Furthermore?”
“I was vaguely thinking that Wareden Tyden might target you first. “But it was clearly my mistake to neglect you.”
Eliza pursed her lips.
“I guess it was Wareden’s idea to target me first. But why?”
“… … “Are you asking because you don’t know that now?”
Eliza looked at Carl with astounded eyes.
Looking at Eliza like that, Carl scratched his head.
“Even if a summoner is of the same class, the summoner must choose a summon with stronger characteristics. That’s why I think they have a better eye for people than knights or wizards.”
“Well, the Summoning Department definitely has that aspect.”
Eliza said as Karl nodded.
“I never thought I would say this to you. Carl Thomas. “You are a much greater person than you think.”
Eliza glared at Carl angrily with a face that had to tell her such things.
“I am helping you a lot. So I hope they don’t treat you like you’re cheap. “Because I feel like I’m being cheap for receiving help from you.”
Carl looked at Eliza with an expression of emotion at those words.
“W-what is it?”
Eliza blushed, feeling a little embarrassed as she saw Carl continuing to look at her face.
Carl wrapped Eliza’s hand with both hands.
“Well, what is it?”
Eliza became even more embarrassed and her face turned red.
“Eliza, you know you can get help from me, right?”
“… … .”
“I thought I’d never know.”
“What do you think of me?”
“But if you are. ‘joy. Like commoners. It’s only natural that you help me. Know it with glory.’ I know you’re thinking… … .”
Whirling! Okay! Okay! Okay!
“Ugh! I’m kidding! joke!”
Eliza’s face turned cold and she lashed out at Carl.
It was then.
Suddenly-!
“knife! I feel fine… … Oh my goodness?”
Jump up! Illyana, who energetically opened the door to the ward and entered, opened her eyes wide when she discovered the scene inside her.
“I was having a good time. “Sorry for disturbing you.”
And closed the door.
“You can’t go in. “I’m playing whip inside.”
Illyana’s playful voice was heard from outside.
“Carl Thomas.”
“huh.”
“Can I get rid of it?”
“of course.”
Eliza smiled coldly and walked out of the room.
Illyana’s desperate screams echoed throughout the ward.
“Huh. “I just can’t rest comfortably.”
Cal sighed, rested his chin, and looked out the window.
‘Don’t treat me like I’m cheap…’ … .’
***
“I feel good because the weather is nice today.”
Elena, sitting on the cafe terrace, put her mouth to the straw stuck in the fruit juice and said.
Leo said, sipping coffee in front of him.
“You seem to be in a good mood.”
“Because it’s been a while.”
The sight of Elena smiling and answering was beautiful.
Just by smiling like the most beautiful woman in Rumern, everyone in the store looked at her in fascination.
Leo chuckled at the sight.
“You look calm.”
“Does it look like that?”
“okay. You said it was a date, but all you did was sit like this and look out at the street. “Aren’t you bored?”
Leo and Elena, who left Lumern, came to this cafe and sat for several hours.
While eating snacks, we barely talked and just looked at the view of the street outside.
“Because I like it. “I spend my time doing nothing like this.”
Leo looked out the window.
As I always lead a busy life, spending time leisurely like this made me feel better.
“Hmm?”
Elena said, looking at Leo with her chin resting.
“Leo.”
“yes.”
“Would you like to sleep at my house today?”
