The Demon Prince goes to the Academy Chapter 291

Chapter 291

The greatsword, Zweihander, is slashed at me.

– Kagak!

I took his sword with my sword and threw it away, twisting the sword to get it out of the way, then shifting into a half-swording stance, I stabbed him at the nape of his neck.

If you’re a clumsy guy, you’ve already allowed the nape here and that’s it.

However, in the end, the opponent is also a bad-tempered guy, and even though he is excited, he is a guy whose skills are poor.

As I pushed the slanted sword back up at an angle, I hooked my sword blade on Zweihander’s parrying hook and pushed it away.

In terms of the weight of the armament itself, it would be foolish to push the sword further in a situation where you are being pushed back in a power struggle.

– Kaang!

I widened the distance as I drew my sword obliquely. Howl quickly changed his stance.

– Kaang! Kagak! Get a card!

A few more workshops came and went.

He keeps his distance and uses his long reach to keep him in check. It’s good if it works, and there’s nothing dangerous if it doesn’t work.

There is no reason why you shouldn’t take advantage of your overwhelming advantage. So he’s just doing his best.

The side with a longer reach always has the right to go first, and the side with a shorter reach has to bear the disadvantage of having to dig in.

That’s why, when you use a sword, confrontation with those who use spears is filthy annoying. I also physically defeated the guys who used spears during the preliminaries, but it’s hard to say that I overpowered them with my skills.

In this case, the opponent’s armament was not a spear, but the difference in reach was serious after all.

and another one.

– Kaang!

Even the weight of his sword is significantly different from mine.

That’s why the weight of the tip of the sword had to be different.

It’s a difficult weapon to handle, but if you can handle it well, it’s no different from a blunt weapon. And that guy had the physical and physical conditions to handle Zweihander.

“Why, you act like you’re going to chew on your words, but when you talk to them, it doesn’t work out?”

Richard Howl comes laughing at me with a fishy smile.

In the eyes of others, I had no choice but to look like I was being pushed, and it was true that I was being pushed back.

“The bullshit while dripping gravy in a sacred duel. Wipe sweat or cub. ”

“… … Hehe.”

Even though he was smiling, I could feel his nervousness.

No matter how good the physical is, the weight of that armament is considerable.

He must have been training a lot, but in the end, close combat is something that consumes a lot of mental strength and energy.

This is different from simple exercise.

As long as the precondition of fighting is attached, a thing called battle fatigue occurs.

Having the right to take the first shot means that he continues to use that right to take the first shot and continues to take an offensive stance.

In the end, I was just accepting the situation without the right to take the first shot due to the difference in richness and quietly backing away.

be exhausted

If you see a gap, I will bite you off.

Since we are not all Ludwigs, our stamina is not infinite.

He’s nervous, and I see a gap.

If you can’t help the disadvantage that comes from the difference in armament, you have no choice but to use the penalty you have.

– Kang! Caang! Kang!

I calmly back away, sometimes turning to the side to induce his attack and dodge it.

be in a hurry

more.

Be a little more impatient.

I step back as if luring in and induce him to attack.

The posture of holding the sword long, with the right hand holding the handle and the left hand holding the ricasso, stabs in reverse.

It’s a short grip, but it’s a two-handed sword with monstrous length in the first place. Even with that, the reach is much longer than my armament.

Basically, the reverse thrust is a form of downward thrust rather than forward thrust.

The wider the distance between the two hands holding the sword, the easier it is to balance the weight, so the stronger the power.

To receive that sword, it must inevitably be in the form of an upward thrust, but that guy is actually applying force in a half-swording method, and I have to raise and push in the same way in a half-swording method to counter that downward thrust.

But his sword has a paring hook, and mine doesn’t.

Then, even if I win the power struggle, the paring hook on his sword will block my sword, but if I am pushed, the sword will slide and my hand holding the middle of the blade will be cut by his sword.

difference in arms.

It makes some options impossible and others possible.

It was difficult to push or bounce off the balance of power with that reciprocal stab that held the sword long. If I clumsily put my sword together, I will be pushed away.

The bastard’s reverse stab.

This thought-judgment, starting from that one, occurs almost simultaneously.

from one to ten.

There are things I heard in class, but it was thanks to Ellen that I truly realized it.

While using various armaments, Ellen taught me how to attack and defend depending on the number of armaments.

In this situation, it would be a suicidal act to counter an opponent with that weapon with a half-swording stab that was close to a slash.

In a moment of time, judgment comes from the body, not the head.

embodied memories.

Should I call it a spinal reflex?

After a lot of practice and training, I am not drawing conclusions from thinking. I’ve been bumped into so many times that my body has reached a point where it draws out memories.

Of all my things, this is the product of my hard work.

It is safe to say that the memory of this body, which my body has come to remember even though I hate it after countless times being broken, rolled, beaten, knocked over, beaten, is the only thing I gained with my sweat.

this is not a cheat

According to the general knowledge gained from Ellen, in a situation where there is a difference in armament, such a forceful down-slash should be avoided, not pushed.

Neither this guy nor I spent time at the Heturu Temple, so there is no reason to ignore the other before fighting each other.

He wouldn’t think that this attack would work either.

He clearly has his own calculations in his head. In the end, this kind of fight is a fight between bodies as well as a battle of numbers.

I’m assuming that I’m going to dodge the slashing thrust, making it dodged, and then designing another derivative attack for that situation.

If I dodged to the side or to the rear, I would be designing a derivative attack such as changing the posture of holding the sword in an instant to stab or turning the sword to cut.

In the moment that sword is stamped, he makes such a plan, and I make a plan to destroy it.

important thing.

Under normal circumstances, a general judgment would be to avoid it in this situation.

but.

I make judgments I shouldn’t make.

That judgment he thought I wouldn’t come out of.

With that, all of his designs are scattered.

I raise the sword that slashes down.

In a situation where the opponent’s weight, reach, and opponent’s physical strength are all superior to me, I make the worst move.

Under normal circumstances, this would be the worst possible outcome.

I am not common

I put all my strength into a single sword strike.

One blow.

– Jjaeong!

“!”

I am a superpower

Being able to do something more than a general theory is also definitely my strength.

After kicking away his sword with the explosive power I suddenly exerted, I thrust the sword I held with half-swording into his open chest and into the scruff of his neck.

– Flash!

Richard Howlman, who widened his eyes, was reverse summoned by the Recall Artifact.

critical hit success.

-1 set! Reinhardt-kun takes it!

it’s my win

* * *

3 wins out of 5.

A total of 3 wins and 0 losses.

-Royal class Reinhardt finishes the 1st year tournament final group A match undefeated!

-Wow!

After the reverse summon, I was staring at Richard Howl, who was resummoned in the tournament arena.

That guy doesn’t know I’m superpowered.

And, since this isn’t a boy’s cartoon, I didn’t bother to explain to him that I was actually a psychic and what his abilities were.

So he must have thought I was playing some kind of bizarre trick.

Of course, in the previous duels, he had been using all of his psychic powers. However, it was only that I did not focus on one point of self-suggestion and use the skill.

In the end, a fight is supposed to bring about defeat, so I just received his attack normally and exploded my power for a moment.

All you have to do is poke a gap and enter.

He didn’t even know what had happened to him. He will feel possessed by a ghost. I think he clearly grasped the other person’s capabilities, but he must have seemed to momentarily emit strangely strong power.

“you… … . I wrote something… … . Obviously foul… … .”

Richard Howl muttered as if chewing and spitting.

I didn’t bother explaining it to him.

“Lack of information about the opponent is also your mistake after all.”

There is no such thing as banning superpowers anyway, so it is futile to try.

already won

So, I have no intention of provoking or raising more drugs.

All that remains for me is winning Group A in the finals.

Undefeated.

Succeeded in achieving this by minimizing the use of magical power enhancement.

Even though my duel was bland, I was continuing my undefeated streak of undefeated sets. The cheers of the audience were hot.

I was a bit nervous at first, but after experiencing it a few times, I wasn’t particularly afraid of the eyes of many people watching me, even if they weren’t pleasant.

There were a lot of people in the audience watching me.

I was there watching people who would have hoped for my win.

Semifinals, and finals if you win there.

Now, there are two left.

* * *

I watched all the remaining matches.

Gladden Amorell, like me, went three-and-out and was scoreless in the set.

Ludwig finished with 3 wins and 2 losses after a close match.

Scarlett won 2 first, then conceded a set and finished with 3 wins and 1 loss.

In the end, even though the set scores were different, everyone made it to the finals as expected.

In other words, the Royal Class, the Orbis Class, and the Special Class have all been uploaded.

After the freshman finals were over, a short break would be given and the spectators would rest or remain there.

In addition, the bracket for the quarter-finals was immediately decided.

I met Scarlett’s eyes.

“ah… … . Reinhardt.”

“… … Well, that’s how it happened.”

Scarlett and me.

“I said Ludwig. Please take good care of me.”

“me too!”

Gladen Amorel and Ludwig.

The semi-final draw was decided as follows.

They were all formidable opponents, so I just thought it would be the same no matter who got caught. Enhancing magical power is the key to this confrontation.

At what timing you use that power that can’t be used a few times, and whether or not you can endure the aftereffects will determine whether you win or not.

It was embarrassing to know that tomorrow was the final.

I thought a week-long festival was long, but in the end, there are numerous schedules, so those who participate in anything have to suffer from tight schedules.

It’s not all after the finals.

Regardless of whether or not I win, I have to go to the women’s dress up contest on Wednesday.

“… … .”

“Reinhardt. Why are you like that?”

“No, just.”

When I suddenly lost my expression, Ludwig and Scarlett looked at my complexion.

“Everyone did a great job!”

When we left the stadium to go back to the dorms, Charlotte was welcoming us.

All of Class B, including Charlotte.

And most of the A class too. Ellen and Harriet didn’t say much, but the emotions were already palpable on their faces.

“Did I just have to go out? I could have laid it all down with a scraper.”

Liana was clearing her ears and making nonsensical noises.

Apparently, everyone except Bertus.

There were three brothers, Heinrich and Cliffman.

No, but I saw only Cliff, were they there too? where was he?

… … It must have been sitting on the other side, but I couldn’t seem to find it.

Olivia Rancher Erdina there. There was even Saviolin Tana.

“Junior! Have you mastered the art of fighting now?”

“Is it okay to say that you did well, or do you really have to say that?”

“Well, it’s weird if you can’t do it after running around like that!”

Rudina giggled and grabbed my arm.

“We all decided to go eat something delicious together! Everyone let’s go!”

In both Class A and Class B, all participants seemed to be gathered in one place to celebrate the successful challenge for the finals.

In the original work, Class A and Class B fought and bit each other in a competitive relationship, and the relationship was terribly bad. Class A unilaterally harassed Class B, but Class B didn’t like Class A either.

But now, the two classes were all gathered together, talking to each other, and asking to go somewhere to celebrate this good day.

-You said you were going to an unlimited level tournament?

– Oh, yes.

-You did well on your own, but it’s amazing. I heard that it’s been a long time since a magic major participated.

-… … you should do well

-Yeah, I heard you’re amazing.

-That, that far?!

Harriet doesn’t look familiar with Charlotte, who she doesn’t know very well, but she’s taking the lead and talking about this and that.

“Let’s go, Reinhardt.”

Ludwig smiled and pulled my arm.

Everyone was leading.

I sense myself having become a part of this landscape before I knew it.

I see people and their relationships that have changed because of me.

I didn’t mean it on purpose, but this situation came out with perfect results.

everything is perfect

too much.
