Episode 281
Ah, why is today so fun?
Our Master Beckerman seemed to have noticed that the doll sitting on my shoulder was the Master next to me.
But what if you notice that?
I just kept walking.
I walked up to Beckerman and poked his cheek.
Knock knock – knocked.
Roman swallowed hard, and Beckerman furrowed his eyebrows.
But he didn’t draw his weapon or anything.
As expected, he’s a pretty smart guy.
I gave that guy some advice.
“If you want to investigate, investigate. If you want to think, think. But if you do, you have to work very hard. Otherwise, you won’t find out anything. But.”
A natural smile forms.
“I know that you say that, but I personally recommend not doing it.”
As I stroke the guy’s cheek, Beckerman’s eyebrows twitch and he twitches.
I didn’t care.
Whether I did it or not, I didn’t care and even if I did, it would have been meaningless.
“It’s not that you guys are a threat or anything, it’s just that it’s such a pointless thing to do.”
“Do you ignore Tulkan’s information and Tulkan’s power?”
Beckerman’s voice was serious.
Oh, really.
Why are you saying that?
By now, you all know.
“How could I ignore it? I know the potential of the nation called Tulcan and the talent and power of the people within it. You may not know, but I probably know better than you. So why do I recommend not doing it? It’s simple. It’s meaningless to do it.”
I’ve emphasized this countless times, but it really doesn’t mean anything.
What would they do if they found out that our teacher was a doll?
Even if they say they are looking for a loophole, I wonder if what they found was really a loophole.
I guarantee you that will never happen.
That’s what I meant, but I’m not sure if it was conveyed well.
He put his hands down and turned around.
As he was walking, he turned his head as if he had forgotten.
“It was nice meeting you, and I hope you guys have a good time. And, don’t stalk me.”
He left the place with his teacher.
There is an order to everything.
I showed you a gap, so let’s wait.

Of course, I’m not just talking about Becker.
I’m talking about Roman.
* * *
It was while I was walking towards my accommodation.
[Beckerman, it gives me a really strange feeling.]
While we’re on the subject, I think we need to make one thing clear.
Earlier, I said that Iskandar Tulkan’s swordsmanship talent was on par with Beckerman’s, and that was certainly not wrong.
However, just because talent is equal, it doesn’t mean that experience is also equal.
Beckerman is clearly the best swordsman on this continent, aside from me and my master.
That means he’s a very useful guy.
but.
“I can’t go with him.”
[Can’t we go together?]
“Yes. I accepted Cell as my family, but if I accept Beckerman, it would be like betraying Cell.”
The teacher walked beside me without saying a word.
“Beckerman can’t be my man. I don’t even think about leaving any room for it. Beckerman will die no matter what.”
The teacher nodded slightly, as if he had read the sincerity in my words.
Why did this conversation suddenly start?
[It seemed a little shaky.]
“Did you feel it too, Master?”
This is because both my teacher and I saw a ‘gap’ at the same time.
I’m talking about the gap that Roman saw, and surprisingly, Beckerman saw that gap too.
I burst out laughing.
If you twist it gently, it seems like it might fall over.
“I didn’t know he was such an easy guy.”
[You seem a little sorry.]
He nodded.
A strategist would probably suggest this strategy in this situation.
A strategy to keep Beckerman at the bottom and use him.
But I have no intention of doing that.
Even if it’s a disguise, there’s someone under me, even in my family, who hates Beckerman, and you ignore that and accept Beckerman?
Even if I say I’m a thug with my own mouth, I can’t do that level of thug-like behavior.

I can’t even imagine that.
“Beckerman is going to die anyway. I am below that Beckerman.”
[Roman Stewart?]
“Yes. If you raise that kid well, he’ll probably grow up to be like Thanos. Hmm.”
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. So the teacher and I went into the dorm.
I didn’t say anything.
There was so much going on today.
I’m so tired I could die.

Oh my.
* * *
The Colosseum was abuzz.
As expected, the winner of the first Academy War Magic Division was Cell.
Should we say that there was no change in this part?
Many punters and spectators predicted that Cell would win easily, and that turned out to be the case.
Who can beat Cell, a 4-circle mana user who uses all magic without spells?
I watched every single game without missing a single one, but there really wasn’t anything to see.
There were about three girls from Ishmael Academy, including one named Jin-Mariana or Mariyana, who really stood out and showed off their talents.
Roughly beginner to intermediate master level talent.
And three or four intermediate-level talents from Tulcan.
There was nothing else.
Cell won there by a landslide, and that was that.
The real hot topic was the swordsmanship section.
That too is the final that is about to take place.
Roman Stewart, the favorite to win, the highest circle, and the best talent at Tulcan Academy, known as the post-Beckerman.
And Thanos of Milos Academy stands against him.
Many people did not hold Thanos in high regard.
That mistake of dropping his sword in the preliminaries made Thanos look like an idiot, and as a result, Thanos was called a big idiot. Thanos completely changed that.
That moment when he blew away the promising prospect named Kane with a single blow in the main tournament.
That was engraved in everyone’s mind, and when it was revealed that Thanos was a commoner, there were those who supported Thanos.
Underdog effect.
The psychology of wanting the underdog to succeed has been directly reflected in Thanos and now.
The game was about to start.
The announcer in the middle of the stadium grabbed the microphone and shouted loudly.
“You’ve all been waiting for a long time!”
Waaaaaaaah-!
“The long-awaited Academy War is now coming to an end. Many truly amazing things have happened. Currently, the magic and group categories are overwhelmingly won by Milos Academy. And now, it will be decided whether Milos Academy can sweep all three categories. Or will they be satisfied with winning only two categories in front of Roman Stewart, who is called the best talent in Tulcan Academy!”
The host points to one side with his finger.
“Thanos of Milos Academy, who proved that dropping the sword in the preliminaries was a mistake!”
Wow-!!
“And Roman, who was trained in swordsmanship directly by Heynckes Beckerman, the greatest talent at the Tulcan Academy and the strongest swordsman on the continent!! Stuart!”
Two students stood facing each other on the field.
“The game is about to begin!”

Thanos slowly tightened his grip.
Roman Stewart.
Unlike the others attending Milos Academy, Thanos had heard several rumors when he was the eldest son of the Grand Duke’s family in the Cradle Kingdom.
A swordsmanship genius who completed an elite course, and the greatest talent in the Tulcan Empire.
In fact, in a country as large as the Tulcan Empire, the word genius was very common.
The phrase “genius” kept popping up whenever someone did something, so at first I thought it was just some kind of media play, but looking at it this way, it was different.
Now, four years after first hearing the rumor, Roman is at the forefront of his peers and has proven his talent.
6 circles at 17 years old.
He is already a full-fledged knight, and the one who taught him swordsmanship was none other than Heynckes Beckermann.
You shouldn’t think that you are dealing with an average child of the same age.
High Circle Mana User.
It’s about the time when I feel like I have to take it seriously, thinking that I’m facing them.
Roman’s voice came to my ear.
“… … What the hell are you guys?”
Should I say it’s out of the blue?
Thanos’ expression was frighteningly questioning.
“There’s nothing that makes sense.”
Roman’s voice was heavy.
“Yesterday a man named Jack Valantier was caressing Beckerman’s cheek as if he was a child.”
Thanos’ eyes and Roman’s eyes collide in the air.
“I think it was from that moment. The moment my common sense was destroyed.”
Roman walked.
So slowly.
“But, strangely enough, I felt refreshed.”
Roman’s voice was clearly subdued, but strangely enough, his expression was smiling.
Really, brightly.
“I think this is what it feels like when a turtle sheds its skin.”
Phew-!!
The wind began to blow.
The wind blowing from all directions envelopes Roman’s body.
At the same time, the circle surrounding Roman’s heart began to rotate.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
“I think the power of a mana user is ultimately determined by what they do, regardless of their starting point. Age doesn’t matter.”
Roman curled the corners of his mouth like a liberated person.
I don’t know if I should call this enlightenment.

Roman came to his senses after his conversation with Jack last night, and more specifically, after seeing the scenes where Jack treated Beckerman like a child and Beckerman accepted it so callously.
I was a frog in a well.
The greatest talent of the Tulcan Empire? What does that mean now?
Roman surrounded the mana of the 6th circle, and in response, Thanos also raised his mana.
5 circles.
Thanos, who was one circle short of the six circles, frowned with an inexplicable sense of discomfort.
Something.
Because it felt strange.
It feels like Roman is hiding something.
That feeling of unease was spot on.
At that moment, the six circles in Roman’s heart were spinning.
One more circle began to rotate.
Kugu-kung-!!
At that moment when the entire stadium began to shake, the Mana users in the stands, including King Tem-Samit, who had been just watching, suddenly stood up from their seats.
“oh my god.”
“what……?”
“7 circles? At that age?”
Apparently Roman now had seven circles in his possession.
“I realized last night what my purpose in life is.”
Roman re-holds his sword.
Then he smiled like before and said this.
“I want to become the strongest prosecutor on the continent, a prosecutor that no one can object to. So, you, someone like you, should be here… … .”
That was when.
The moment when Thanos, who had been silent, reacted.
Roman stopped talking.
Unless I’m mistaken.
“Did you laugh just now?”
The corners of Thanos’ mouth were clearly raised.
“You talk too much. I didn’t know that the continent’s strongest prosecutor could talk like that.”
Roman stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
If you compare them simply as circles, there is no fight between the 7th circle and the 5th circle.
Because there will be a difference in physical ability of at least three to four times.
But what is that confidence?
Roman didn’t think any further.
Kwajik-!!

He kicked the seat, and Roman’s body became light and stretched out towards Thanos.
Thanos also jumped out of his seat just in time.
