Lesson 68. Those who wish for the resurrection of the true dragon – 1
“What business do you have with our Yuwon?”
Ban Yumi growled softly as she aimed her blazing longsword at the one known as the Sword King of Clarent.
The Sword King snorted and laughed at her.
“You didn’t even realize what kind of person you were dragging into the game. It’s funny how you’re blinded by men and don’t even realize that you’re holding a knife that’s going to stab your stomach. I never expected that from a young, blue-eyed girl.”
“Anyway, these kids just don’t know how to answer straight when you ask them questions.”
The referee, Clio Hecate, declared the start.
The Sword King, who quickly charges forward and swings his sword in all directions, creating countless trajectories.
They say that Clarent is the lineage of the quick swordsman, and he must have earned the name of the king of speed because of his ability to generate hundreds of sword strikes at a speed that transcended human perception.
To be honest, if you watched from the side without even knowing what he was doing, he just looked like a crazy person swinging his sword wildly in the air.
In the face of it, Ban Yumi simply lowered her sword quietly.
The red aura ran down a line connecting the ceiling and the floor――and with that alone, all the sword strikes remaining in the air were torn to shreds.
“?!”
“I originally received it from Yuwon, but I couldn’t even open it properly because it was too precious to throw away, so I just kept it.”
She snickered as she watched the Sword King freeze in place, entranced by Ban Yumi’s direct denial of Clarent’s power. She aimed the tip of her sword at him as if she were fencing.
The Sword King, who intuitively felt that the tip of the sword aimed at him would never miss its target, not only because he had the talent to swing his sword quickly, gritted his teeth and realized that he and her were no match for each other.
A deep red flame of 4,000 meters forms a crimson blade and gently descends upon the blade.
“It was a shame that I couldn’t use such a wonderful firework, so I practiced a bit.”
Ban Yumi is the greatest talent ever born from the Sword Tribe of Prominence, and is also a mutant born with the unquenchable flame, the essence of the Fire Tribe.
Prominence was originally famous for both his sword and his flames, but his true power can be obtained when the powers of sword and flame are in harmony, and this is the result of his constant efforts over the past two years to master the excessive depth of the red flames that were given to him.
An achievement that is not at all shameful of the name Prominence――even surpassing the previous generation’s heads with ease.
The moment Ban Yu-mi gracefully flicked her waist, the sword was quickly shot out.
“Huh――!”
No matter how overwhelming the opponent, if you lose so easily, Clarent’s reputation will be ruined.
Moreover, if I lose this time, it will be 2 to 2. Surely the Lord would not lose to that brat, but how could I dare to pass on even the slightest burden to the Lord?
Clarent’s power to shape the trajectory of the sword has its ultimate form, which is to call forth the trajectory of the sword he swung in the past beyond this very moment.
Of course, because it consumed a lot of strength, it would take at least several months to recover after using it once, and beyond that, it wasn’t a technique that could be used in a duel like this――but for a man who had to protect the excessive title of Sword King, there was no other choice.
“under?!”
Ban Yu-mi felt countless sword trajectories filled with eerie magic being released and laughed in disbelief.
A blow that was clearly aimed at one’s own life.
These Clarents have been living peacefully, practicing swordsmanship, without any conflict with other families, so who would have thought they would be such ignorant fools?
‘I’ll spare you now, but if you really try to do something to Yuwon――.’
At that time, the families of the teenagers and everything will be burned down.
Ban Yu-mi went straight to stab the guy with her sword.
Hundreds of thousands of trajectories attempted to slash at Ban Yumi, but those that struck her head-on were all burned and torn apart, and the sword strikes that came from above, below, and even behind her were cut down by the shield of flames that rose up as if to protect her.
Aside from the level of swordsmanship, it was already decided who had mastered the power of the family more deeply.
-Quick
“Huh?!”
“I appreciate that this ends with this.”
The sword pierced the Sword King’s right shoulder without hesitation, making a sound like a beast biting something and cleanly burning one side of his right arm.
She swung her flaming sword into the air, wiping away the sparks before raising her head with a fierce aura.
“Judge, the enemy used a technique that was too strong, so I attacked excessively in defense. Will that be acceptable?”
“The first one to take the risk of his life was Clarent. Therefore, I acknowledge the legitimacy and victory of this duel. The current score of the friendly duel is 2 to 2.”
Rio asserts.
If the new Prominence’s head had been a little more ridiculous, if the Sword King had been a little more clever in hiding his murder, or if the authority of the judge had been a little less, then several families, including Clarent, would have raised objections.
However, despite her extremely young age, Banyumi had proven with her whole body why she had become the head of the Prominence, and the secret technique used by the Sword King could have caused a terrible disaster if Banyumi had not dealt with it properly, and the authority of the referee, Clio Hecate, was so firm that it could threaten the main house of the Hecate family.
“… … .”
Therefore, the head of the Clarent family had no choice but to remain silent even after seeing the family’s most powerful figure lose his right arm and retreat like a defeated dog right before his eyes.
Since he was the one who provoked Prominence in the first place, he received a proper reward for it, but if this goes on like this, it can’t be called a friendly duel.
Of course――I didn’t plan on it ending like that from the beginning.
‘It’s much stronger than I thought. I expected it to be torn in half.’
The head of the Clarent family looked at Ban Yu-mi with a serious expression.
To be honest, there was no guarantee that he could beat her.
How on earth? No matter how great the innate power, it would take time to develop it. How?
Even though I think this way, I already know the answer.
‘That bitch, she forgot the days when we were all families together and quickly returned to the arms of her young master.’
Not knowing the complex relationship between Ban Yu-mi and Ban Yu-won, he simply criticized Ban Yu-mi as a shallow being and ground his teeth.
It was fortunate that things got this big.
If they had tried to sort things out with only Clarent’s power, they would have been the ones who got burned and suffered the consequences.
Gaju stood up from his seat, looking at the few people who shared his views with deep meaning.
“Then finally, the next duel is the last! A member of the Prominence faction, the fiancé of the Fairy Princess, the student council president of Union Academy, the great pioneer who broke the record for exploring the Tower of Babel, and the owner of the best channel on Unitube! It’s a showdown between the most handsome man in the world, Ban Yu-won, and the head of the Clarent family!”
With a luxurious introduction that immediately lets you know how serious the host’s passion is for the subject.
A handsome man is seen leisurely getting up from the other side.
A young girl in her early to mid 20s, too young to confront herself head on.
A man born in a hidden dimension unknown to anyone, who immediately rose to the center of all events occurring in this universe as soon as he entered Union Academy――.
A person who grows up so quickly, wields disparate powers, is favored by the Union General who manages the tower, and has become an absolute icon, possessing a fatal charm that makes everyone he meets fall for him.
‘It’s true. It’s even more certain when you look at it this way. There’s no time to hesitate.’

What made him absolutely certain was that the sole survivor of the fallen teenage family Juventa was sticking close to him.
Juventus, who were not ‘this side’ to begin with, could not overcome the long-standing loyalty engraved in their genes.
And that terrible influence could come crashing down here at any moment.
‘I must kill you today before it’s too late.’
The moment he raised his head with that thought, he realized strangely that the eyes of the man, Ban Yu-won, were directed straight at him.
It might not be so strange to look at the opponent you were about to spar with, but the sight of him flying at you just as you were thinking about killing him made Clarent Gaju feel his heart sink.
‘No, that can’t be true.’
Of course, judging from the circumstances, he must also realize that he has hostility――.
Even the greatest tower lord couldn’t read the emotions and thoughts of other beings, could he?
The murderous intent would have been perfectly hidden, so there’s no way anything could go wrong.
Looking at the head of the household thinking like that, Ban Yu-won thought.
‘Things are going to turn out a lot more dramatically than I thought.’
No, it wasn’t Rio joking, was it?
I never believed that they would cause a huge scandal in front of everyone, but this Clarent family is really a reckless bunch that commits and commits crimes without regard for consequences.
Otherwise, it means that their existence is a threat to them.
“Yuwon-ah.”
Yumina grabbed his hand.
Contrary to what some might think, her touch was not one of loyalty but of yearning affection.
“I don’t know what they’ll do. I’ll intervene immediately if I see anything suspicious, but when the time comes… … .”
“I know, sis. But it’ll be okay.”
There’s Rio, watching the battle right in front of him.
Three of the ten clans are allies of Ban Yu-won.
Moreover, the gazes that have been flying in from places I never expected… … .
“Sister, do you have any connection to the Selene family?”
Selene is a teenage girl known for her magic and sorcery, along with Hecate.
So at first I thought they were also surprised by the existence of Clio Hecate and were looking at me with surprise, but I was wrong.
They had been watching Yumi from the beginning, and not with hostility, but rather with curiosity, hesitation, and, if I had to say, favor.
“I told you my nickname.”
“I was completely fooled for three years, but now I know.”
Celon.
It is a nickname that only close friends during childhood were allowed to call by.
Yumina said that the name was given to her by the president, so I wondered if Celon was her real name, but that wasn’t the case either.
It’s just a nickname used to express friendliness and affection.
“The reason why only a few people knew my nickname was because it was connected to my secret. Selon means daughter of Selene. So I am also a descendant of Selene.”
Indeed, it is one plus one.
Ban Yu-won nodded, although his thoughts were somewhat rude.
“Can we bring them to our side?”
“I don’t know, we haven’t had any contact since coming to the Union… … Selene hasn’t even admitted any of her relatives to the Union.”
Indeed, if that’s the case, it makes sense that she didn’t tell me in advance.
She herself wasn’t sure.
He wanted to talk a little more about Selene, but he knew he would get glares if he didn’t get off track, so Ban Yu-won nodded and let go of her hand.
“Anyway, we won’t become enemies right away. That alone is fortunate. Thank you, Sister.”
“I wonder if my presence will be of any help, but if so, then good… … .”
Yumina, who had a complicated expression on her face, kissed Ban Yu-won on the cheek as he was about to go down to the match, clearly showing off her relationship with him to the Selene family and wishing him victory.
As the others who were watching from the side rushed in saying “Me too, me too”, his face became covered in hickeys, and Aneri, who was watching the society, shouted in discontent.
“Before you go down to the stadium, please come here too, Yuwon!”
“Why does this always happen when I try to do something seriously?”
―Death’s eyes whisper to me, telling me to cheer up, even though they look upset.
Ban Yu-won sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, squinting his eyes as he looked at the message floating before his eyes.
She’s upset, why? No need to ask.
Just receiving her heart made me feel like I was being kissed by her.
I felt empowered.
At this point, it seemed like I could even beat the president.
“You look so relaxed.”
But as soon as he got onto the training ground, he met the gaze of the Clarent family who was quietly looking at him and ended up snorting.
“I’ve seen that power a lot.”
Clarent, the sword of the unfiltered wheel that stabbed Abi.
I was wondering which of the two swords to pull out to deal with it, and in the end I chose Myeolyeom.
Although it was overly powerful, it was easy for it to reveal its identity as a Prominence with its own flame, and if necessary, it was easy to exert the power of the Contract Constellation.
Requiems had to be saved for special moments.
“What a… wonderful sword. How about we have a match with our swords on the line?”
“But you should bring something that fits the standards. This deal is too gangster-like.”
“Hey, you punk? How dare you put Clarent in front of me!”
“Well, I’ll accept it anyway since I see your sincerity. I’m going to win anyway.”
It wasn’t a sword that could be used to lump together and lower the swords my opponent was holding.
Not only was the Clarent Cross engraved on it, which seemed to symbolize the family, but――from it, I could feel the concept of power that those belonging to the Clarent family wielded.
Perhaps that is the very root of their family, or perhaps Clarent as a sword before being a family.
“This is a provocation that cannot be overlooked. Take up your sword.”
“… … .”
Ban Yu-won, with a serious expression, said nothing more and picked up his sword.
Since I already know what the other person wants, there is no reason to talk any longer.
It was because the more I faced the sword, the more I felt something tickling inside me.
I feel like I can’t just let this moment pass.
Ban Yu-won tilted his head, but looked at the referee, Clio Hecate.
She nodded once and declared the start of the match with an expression on her face that indicated she was ready to jump in if the Clarent family did anything suspicious.
-visor–!
And just once, the moment the Banyuwon’s Extermination Flame and the Gaju’s sword Clarent collided, he realized.
Ah, this is a sword that my ancestors made themselves.
――At the same time.
A tremendous amount of enlightenment.
A shock came over him, fully awakening his power.
