Episode 1158
First meeting.
Finally, the ships carrying the two national teams, the Dark Federation and the Holy Federation, faced each other. The two ships were moving side by side at a long distance.
“Let’s stick together properly! Fanatics!”
“How dare you entrust the Messiah to us?”
The Dark Alliance representatives were saying something one by one as if provoking them, but it didn’t seem to be audible on the other side. Simon looked at the deck with a nervous look on his face.
‘Is there anything?’
On the Priest side, there were only a few people wearing white combat uniforms talking, but Lethe was nowhere to be seen.
“Do you know anyone? “Simon.”
Meilin approached me with a smile and asked. Simon shook his head.
“No, I just checked to see if the students I analyzed were in the right place.”
“Waking and waking up, I’m thinking about Rune League. “Don’t worry too much!”
Meilin pounded her chest with fighting spirit.
“Because I will definitely win!”
Simon nodded emphatically.
“Yes, I will believe it.”
Some of the people on this side were still provoking and booing, but fortunately, this was done out of competitive spirit and there was no sign of hatred or murder.
‘I’m glad I came from Roharon on a mission.’
Even at the beginning of training camp, let’s kill the priest. Let’s take this opportunity to get rid of it now. There were many radical stories. Everyone was full of disgust and anger toward the Priest.
But after coming to Loharon, everyone felt it.
That people living on the other side of the continent are not monsters or anything, but are people everywhere.
The students learned a lot by fighting, eating, and talking together. Not all lands of the Holy Federation were inhabited by fanatics or terrorists. In particular, through this Coco Messiah incident, I learned that people are bound by the ‘law’ and have no choice but to follow it even if they don’t like it.
Among them, there were some who criticized Sky Island’s religious politics, and there were also non-religious people who only pretended to believe in Daevaism.
Of course, the deep-rooted aversion to priests cannot disappear just because of what happened in Loharon, but it feels like the blind hatred has been lifted a little.
Of course, you won’t realize this unless you come to the Federation and experience it for yourself. In fact, many prejudices were broken after visiting Simondo Federation.
‘But this is not the time to let down your guard.’
Simon lightly slapped me on the cheek.
‘I don’t know what will happen when the battle actually breaks out. It is doubtful whether the Holy Federation also changed its mind after coming to the Dark Federation.’
Shootaaaaaaa!
While Simon was lost in thought, the two boats were already heading into a large coastal cave. It was as massive as a tunnel.
“Simon! Look over there!”
Camivarez grumbled and pointed forward.
A pair of magic circles made of mana were spread out and swaying on the surface of the water. The two ships headed toward the magic circle and narrowed the gap. Now the faces were visible to each other on the deck.
And the moment the two ships reach the magic circle.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A large wave crashed below. The hull lifted slightly upward and began to move quickly through the waves.
Wow!
Everyone held on to pillars and handles with all their might. Simon also held on to the rope with one hand and held Camivarez’s wrist with the other.
The surrounding scenery passed by at an incredible speed, and finally.
Shootaaaaa-
The boat stopped and I saw what looked like the entrance to a large cave in front of me.
“are you okay? “Kami.”
“Ah yes! thank you!”
Camivarez’s eyes widened as he quickly straightened his bangs.
“Look there, Simon! “It’s full of people!”
It was true. There was a crowd of people in front of the cave entrance.
Waaaaaaaaaa!
A shout so strong that it made my ears tingle came out. There were fences of different colors on the right and left, and a lot of people were crowding behind them.
On the right are the residents of the Dark Federation, and on the left are the residents of the Holy Federation. They were all people who came here on purpose to welcome the representatives of the Rune League.
Meilin let out an embarrassed laugh.
“The excitement of Rune League is amazing.”
Soon, the boat docked in front of the cave, and a bridge was opened to connect it to the ground.
“Everyone, are you ready?”
Suddenly, Meadow, wearing the same black combat uniform as the students, pointed ahead.
“Then let’s go! “To say hello to the residents of the Dark Alliance!”
“yes!”
Awesome!
chuck!
Meadow’s instructors and sailors who had worked hard together all lined up and saluted the representatives.
It was a salute to wish for the victory of the Rune League.
Greeted by the crew, 10 representatives led by Simon went down to the ship. Dick, the person in charge of photography, also followed along, carrying a magic camera on his back and flirtatious.
“Have a nice trip everyone!”
“cheer up.”
It was here that we parted ways with Malcolm and Fitzgerald, who were eliminated as reserve members. Both of them shook hands or lightly hugged other members. An emotional Camivarez even shed a few tears.
“I’m sorry, we had to go alone.”
“There is no need to be sorry. “I think this member is the best right now.”
The delegates went down to the ship, talking one by one. When Simon appeared, ready, Malcolm grabbed his right hand.
“Be sure to win.”

I thought this was my first time seeing Malcolm’s face so serious. Simon smiled, showing his teeth.
“Of course, Malcolm. “Take care of your stomach.”
“Simon.”
Fitzgerald also pushed up his glasses with one hand and held out his other hand, clenching it into a fist.
“Show your potential as a member of the mutant club.”
“of course.”
The two people lightly bumped their fists. Soon, as Simon came down, Meilin, who was ahead of him, smiled mischievously and covered her mouth.
“What. “Something like men’s passionate friendship?”
“… … haha.”
“On the other hand, that petty boy never shows his face.”
Meyrin looked at the deck and clicked her tongue.
When I said petty boy, I seemed to be referring to Craig from Hound Kids. We stayed together for a month, but in the end, it was impossible for us to become friends. Meilin turned her head as if she had run out of energy.
“I hope I never see her again in my life!”
Soon everyone got off the boat.
Everyone was waiting for Simon, number 1, to come down, and when Simon walked up, they stepped aside and made way.
Soon, Simon adjusted his collar and walked away, and everyone followed him.
“Here he comes!”
“These are Kizen students!”
Waaaaaaa!
The Dark Alliance residents waiting beyond the fence on the right raised their arms and cheered.
“Good luck! Commander Simon!”
“Lord Elisha!”
“Azel! “I came all the way here to see your face!”
Enthusiastic cheers erupted from all over, including all kinds of cheers and screams.
I was a little embarrassed and happy that someone I had never met before could like me so much. This was proof that Nephthys’ rune league mediation was successful.
As Simon was walking and waving his hand, Dick, who was filming a little ahead with a magic shooting device, hurriedly threw something.
It was a loudspeaker crystal ball.
“The captain should say something! “There are so many people who came all the way to the neutral zone to see it!”
‘Dick!’
Simon looked at Meadow’s thoughts, but Meadow was giving Dick a thumbs up, saying she knew something.
Simon laughed embarrassedly. Still, it seemed like permission had been given, so he activated the loudspeaker crystal ball.
“This is Simon Pollentia.”
Immediately, explosive cheers poured out. Meilin, who was walking, was startled, covered her ears and trembled.
“Thank you for the unforgettable hospitality of a lifetime. All of the representatives receive great support. “There is one thing we can repay and promise you.”
Simon exhaled and answered.
“I will definitely win.”
As expected, explosive cheers came back. Simon threw the loudspeaker crystal ball at Dick again and walked with the delegates.
Then I glanced at the other side.
‘The atmosphere is completely different over there.’
The residents of the Holy Federation over there came as many as the residents of the Dark Federation, but their methods of encouragement were different. They looked like they were either lying down on the floor or putting their hands together and praying for victory.
Some representatives also held hands and prayed with the residents who came to encourage them. The atmosphere was a little more quiet and reverent. This is how cultural differences were revealed again.
“This way!”
I continued walking along the meadow.
The paths of the Dark Federation and the Holy Federation were different. After walking like that for about 20 minutes, Meadow stopped and said.
“From now on, we enter the ‘stage’ of the Rune League. “We will enter together with the Holy Federation and will enter in order from numbers 10 to 1.”
As he said that, he smiled slightly.
“I don’t need to say more to know how many people on the continent are interested, right?”
Everyone nodded with stern faces.
“This is our final showcase to the public! Next is the final battle! ruler! Representative number 10, let’s get ready first!” * * *
‘Cave of Beginnings’, a natural cave considered a special historical site in the Neutral Zone.
Inside this cave, which boasted a fairly large area, people from all walks of life who had been invited to the Rune League were seated.
The audience seats on this side were also split in half, with people from the Dark Federation sitting on the right and people from the Holy Federation on the left.
“Get started quickly!”
“How long are you going to let me watch that ridiculous traditional dance?”
The residents of the Dark Alliance shouted in protest.
“It seems informal. “After all, they are the devil’s followers.”
“I will pray to the goddess that heavenly punishment befall them.”
The residents of the Holy Federation were glaring at them with their eyes wide open.
The Neutral Zone officials responsible for hosting this Rune League were sweating. The Rune League was an event for peace on the continent, and the people selected as spectators were all pacifists, excluding soldiers and political figures, but deep-rooted conflict was unavoidable.
“Are we there yet?”
The neutral zone event host in charge of this incident was looking behind the stage. At that time, an official came running and gave an OK sign.
The host hurriedly sent the dancers away and finally came forward and spoke.
“Well, you’ve waited a long time! “It is said that representatives from each faction of the Rune League have finally arrived!”
Loud cheers filled the cave, as if they had been waiting.
“The historic Rune League begins now! We will invite two representatives from the Rune League to this event! “Please give us a big round of applause and cheers!”
He spread his arms.
“Dark Coalition Representative Number 10! ‘Vampire Lord’s bloodline’ Camivarez Ursula! And Shinsung Federation Representative No. 10! “This is Lisara, the ‘Saint of the Eucharist’!”
With a storm of exclamations, a flock of bats poured out from the stage.
Soon, the group of bats came together and a red flash appeared, and Camivarez appeared with a pop and landed on the floor. She flapped her little wings and waved her hands at her Dark Alliance audience.
‘Float, tremble!’
Her pupils were spinning round and round. She then looked across from her.
Hwaaaaaaaaa!
That one was overwhelming too.
In a flash of dazzling light, an angel appeared with both wings spread and smiling. Residents of the Holy Federation shed hot tears and shouted ‘Gratula mi Kibilis’, and there were also those who chanted that name while crying.
Soon, the light gathered in the center, and the angel of light’s disguise was removed, and an ordinary girl in a white uniform came down and waved her hand.
Soon, Lisara and Camivarez stood facing each other.
chuck.
The man standing in the middle stretched out his hands.
It was a signal to shake hands.
Two people approached with very nervous faces and shook hands. Camivarez, who had not thought about what to say, blurted out.
“Now, please take care of me!”
No matter how much of a saint she was, Lisa, who had just entered first grade, was still extremely nervous. She said, forgetting her words she had prepared.
“Please take care of me too! “It’s useless!”
That was the end. The two people removed their hands and looked at each other with frightened eyes.
‘The number 10 of the Holy Federation was a saint! scared!’
‘I’ve only seen vampires in children’s books! There were real vampires alive in the Dark Alliance. scared!’
Everyone was scared of each other.
Soon, with enthusiastic applause, the two people stepped back and the host came forward.
“Let’s move on to the next one! Number 9 of the Holy Federation! ‘The wise man on the wall’, Arendia Orvalo, and number 9 of the Dark Alliance! ‘Medusa’ Claudia Menzies enters!”
Claudia and Arendia appeared on stage at the same time, accompanied by loud cheers. Claudia drew people’s attention and cheered by turning her hair into snakes and creating a spectacular poisonous fountain.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
However, my gaze was immediately lost on the other side. A heavy tank made of metal emerged from the Holy Federation. Soon the door creaked open, and a female student with soot on her cheeks walked out.
When she, who was short and had a round, squirrel-like appearance, lightly waved her palm, the residents of the Holy Federation were very happy with that alone. It was quite popular.
Cheoeok.
The two people facing each other held hands. Claudia Menzies raised the corner of her mouth.
“You’re an expert in fortification, right? I believe that the deadly poison will be dealt with. “I think the siege will probably be my responsibility.”
Arendia nodded quickly.
“Yeah, whatever. Let’s work hard together.”
‘… … ‘He’s the type of person who doesn’t talk much.’
Claudia, who was trying to keep things in check, laughed bitterly. Still, I don’t know what kind of skills he will show based on his appearance.
Soon the two people stepped away and the host raised his voice.
“Ah, this is one of the meetings I’m most looking forward to!”
The host waved one arm.
“I will take you there right away without further ado! Dark Alliance No. 8! ‘Demon Sword User’ Jules Vincere and Holy Federation No. 8! “This is ‘Holy Sword User’ Sigmund Ahandel!”
With the crowd cheering, Juul, wearing a magic sword on his belt, was walking with his footsteps muffled. It was the most modest appearance so far.
on the other side.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A cheer that sounded almost like a blackout erupted from the Holy Federation side. The federal audience, who were not often excited, was different this time.
Sigmund!
Sigmund!
Cheok!
A handsome blonde boy was walking towards me with a holy sword drawn above his head. A dazzling light illuminated the cave.
“nice to meet you! everyone! Thank you for coming! ah! Brother Petri! Sister Dorrance!”
He even bent his knees, bumped hands with people one by one, and said a brief prayer. It wasn’t even a fuss. Countless arms reached out to hold him and his hand.
After consuming almost all 10 minutes of the event by himself, the holy sword user Sigmund came to the center of the stage.
“nice to meet! I really wanted to meet you! “You said your name was Jules Vincere, right?”
Hot!
Before the handshake sign was even made, Sigmund grabbed Jules’ hand.
Jules frowned at the sudden contact, but Sigmund just waved his hand in joy.
“I learned a lot from this Dark Alliance mission! The residents of Yeonhap are also really kind and kind! They gave me food and we talked about various things, and I realized how bad the prejudice in my head was! “It was an honor to be able to raise a sword for them, even if just for a moment!”
Jules also spoke faintly.
“I had similar feelings in the Federation.”
“Everyone in the Dark Alliance is diligent! I thought everyone would starve because there was no divinity, but they took care of it by sowing seeds in the barren land and watering them diligently every day! They had their own know-how! Oh, did we talk about our mission too much? A magic sword user? I am a holy sword user! I can’t wait to see which one will be better! I only slept for an hour last night! Rune League! I am so… … !”
There was too much talking, but Jules, who has a quiet personality, was nodding his head and listening. The host signaled with a hand sign as if to quickly end the conversation, but the holy sword user did not finish speaking.
“I will be the first to show up and take the lead in this rune league, and I will be the last to return, Juul.”
Sigmund suddenly spoke with a serious expression. And he got what Jules said.
“I will also stand at the forefront of the Dark Alliance every day.”
Sigmund smiled with great satisfaction.
“A true sword battle between prosecutors! “I’m looking forward to it!” * * *
Behind the stage.
All the other representatives who had not yet come out were giggling and laughing as they watched this scene. Elisha said.
“Look at Jules’ expression. “You look mesmerized?”
“There are people with that kind of character in the Holy Federation. “It’s unique.”
While everyone was busy enjoying the Rune League event outside the stage or analyzing their opponents, Simon was alone with his arms crossed, lost in thought.
at that time.
-Kkiyung.
A very faint animal howl rang in my ears.
Simon perked up his ears and slowly walked away while everyone was looking away.
-Kkiyung.
It was obvious whose crying was coming from. Simon’s face straightened.
‘It’s Ran’s crying, right?’
Soon, I followed the voice to the place where I entered.
“ah.”
A woman with pure white hair wearing a white uniform was seen standing with her arms crossed. she laughed
“It’s been a while. “Simon.”
