duel.
It is an opportunity to prove the ability that has been polished so far, and it is a good opportunity to take a snow stamp on scouts.
‘Is this the Colosseum? They say there are all these magnificent places.’
The duel takes place in a huge amphitheater.
To be honest, I think it is overinvestment for the scale to be larger than necessary.
Overinvestment to increase the value of the academy’s name just for show.
However, upon entering the arena, the suspicion was instantly dispelled.
“Huh… It reminds me of the 2002 World Cup.”
It’s full with no vacancies.
The duel hadn’t even started yet, and I was surprised again that there was already this much of a crowd.
I scanned the faces of several spectators with a blank expression.
Some faces are familiar.
People that I only encountered in media articles or news that I occasionally skimmed by.
And the characters who took out the description of the characters in the novel.
Why are these people here?
Bonamana.
Unlike ordinary people who came purely for the purpose of viewing, they are business people.
There is only one reason why they came here even when they were busy.
‘They’re probably trying to find talented people to recruit in the future.’
If it’s obvious, it’s an obvious story.
“Ah! You’re here! Master! Here! Here!”
“There are a lot of eyes. Don’t get too excited.”
“You must stop weighing yourself. It’s not cool at all.”
what.
I wondered where the two of them had gone and they were here.
I walked over to the bickering two.
“Master, what is the business of that woman, Cheon Ji-hye?”
“Don’t ask.”
“Yes?”
“I said don’t ask.”
It’s hard for me to explain too.
“…I see. Even if we meddle, it will only harm Master.”
“Cheon Ji-hye. If we meet again, we’ll tear-“
“Yerin, I’m in front of Master. Leave that damned mouth still.”
“Wow… Mister! Are you covering that bitch now? That’s ridiculous.”
my ears are tired
I tried to ignore the words of the two and settled in the middle seat.
“…?”
In an instant, Baek Ye-rin’s left arm stood out.
I didn’t intend to see, but my eyes go by themselves.
“bandage?”
“Ah. That. There was a problem.”
“What problem are you talking about?”
“…no comment.”
What the hell happened while I was gone?
Does this make sense to scar the body of Baek Ye-rin, an S-class superhuman?
I looked at Ma Seong-yong in the seat next to me with rising doubts.
“Did you two fight?”
“Yes?”
“It looks like he had a fight with Ma Seong-yong, didn’t he?”
I’m surprised
I’ve seen the two of them having minor conflicts and light fights, but they didn’t seem to be on bad terms at all.
But you fought and fought to the point of death like that?
“I, Master…”
“Huh… Phuhahahaha! No, Master! Did I fight with you?”
“is not it?”
“Puhehehehe. What kind of relationship am I with you, and in some ways we are closer than family.”
It seems so.
They look like normal brother and sister fighting each other.
“So what’s the cause of that wound? A hero like you-“
―Let the duel begin!
The host’s loud voice swallowed my words.
Yerin Baek sighed less thanks to her, but my doubts still lingered.
“…Let’s talk after work.”
“Yes, yes. hehehehe.”
―It must be the cadet that everyone in the audience is paying attention to. Cha Hyeon-woo from Class A! He is the protagonist of the first match.
um too
The first start is to boldly excite Cha Hyun-woo.
His opponent is probably Naeunsol.
In the first place, the only cadet who can compete with Cha Hyeon-woo by combining theoretical and practical grades is Naeun-sol.
I don’t know what to say, but all the other cadets are talking nonsense.
Even if you fly and crawl, it’s a dog’s death.
For that reason, the duel match is also thoroughly organized.
Maintain the right balance by actively reflecting the practical performance.
The compatibility of attribute magical power. pros and cons between positions. Draw a bracket by taking into account all the factors that hinder the match.
In a way, the way the brackets are organized can be said to be like a classic, but how can it be different?
The difference between Cha Hyun-woo and the rest of the cadets was too great.
It’s not just Cha Hyun-woo.
The difference in level between the top cadets and the bottom cadets is extreme.
―Cha Hyun-woo’s coach, Instructor Lee Dae-sik, please move to the B break room.
And it’s not just a one-on-one duel.
One week prior to the start of the duel, the cadet may designate an instructor for a week of instruction.
Victory could be the difference between this choice.
‘I wouldn’t worry if it was Lee Dae-shik.’
In that respect, Cha Hyun-woo’s choice was very good.
Although the elemental magic is different, the swordsmanship of the two is similar.
‘They’ve had frequent conversations lately, but that’s probably because of it.’
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Great. so far so good
All scenarios flow according to the original.
“Cha Hyeon-woo… He’s the cadet I’m keeping an eye on these days.”
“…….”
“Master?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I took a moment to organize my thoughts. What did you say?”
“Do you know that Cadet Cha Hyeon-woo?”
every know
He is the main character of this worldview.
“He’s still only 17, but he has great potential. In ten years, he’ll be on the same level as me.”
“Hmm….”
“Does Master have any interest in Cadet Cha Hyeon-woo?”
“I’m not interested in that part you think.”
It’s only because he’s the main character that his eyes go naturally.
“I see… Cadet Cha Hyeon-woo won’t be good in Master’s eyes.”
“Kuhmm. I was worried for nothing. Look, mister, did I tell you? There’s no lumber like us.”
“…….”
“Isn’t that what Master thinks? There are no talented students at this academy.”
“Why isn’t there. Han Cho-ara…”
“Don’t open your mouth, uncle. It keeps breaking the atmosphere.”
Han Choa.
In fact, he is the most outstanding disciple among Chun Hae-beom’s disciples.
Then what do you do?
My mental state is unstable.
‘I’ll have to take good care of it.’
Because now I’m a thousand sea criminals.
-Cha Hyeon-woo! The opponent who will stand on the battlefield with him is Choa Han!
“What the f*ck.”
“…Yes?”
“S… Master?”
“Oh, no.”
no what?
It should be Naeun Sol, but why Han Choa?
―Instructor Cheon Hae-beom, the coach in charge of Han Cho-ah, please go to Lounge A immediately.
what kind of bullsh*t is this

The match lasts for 5 minutes and is played 5 times.
A 10-minute break is given after each game, and in that time, the true value of a coach is displayed.
But who am I?
An ordinary person who is the strongest in the world only by name.
I’m going to be Han Choa’s coach?
Let alone that, in the first place, as a coach, I had never taken on Han Cho-ah.
…Perhaps.
“You lied.”
“sorry.”
“…….”
driving me crazy.
Han Choa was apologizing with her head bowed.
As I look up at that small head, my negative mind goes away.
yes. He must have called my name because he wanted to be acknowledged.
I understand.
“Why do you mean me…”
“My master is only Master.”
“Haa. That’s not it…”
I don’t have the skills of a coach.
‘It doesn’t matter anyway…’
what am i worried about
The cadet standing in front of me right now is Choa Han.
I have only one piece of advice for her.
“Run wild as you like.”
“…is that the end?”
“What more do I need to say? Anything I say to you won’t help much.”
“If it’s Master-“
“Thank you for giving me such high praise. But all I have to say is this. Do as you please.”
“Yes….”
“If you see a loophole, poke it, and if you can finish the game, finish it ASAP.”
simplicity.
By now Cha Hyun-woo and Lee Dae-sik must be having a lot of trouble, but I’m very simple.
I’m sorry for nothing.
“…Master, is Cha Hyeon-woo strong?”
“I can’t say it’s weak. But I can’t say it’s strong either.”
Because I’m weaker than you.
“If I lose… will Master be disappointed?”
“No way.”
“If I lose… will you leave?”
Don’t you know your subject?
Or is it that I am so afraid of people’s reactions?
“I’ll say it one more time. It’s not going to happen. As I expected, you will defeat Cha Hyeon-woo and advance to the finals.”
“…Master. Then can you make a promise to me?”
A random promise?
I wanted to ask a question, but her expression looked so desperate that I nodded.
“If I win this game, please grant me a wish.”
“What do you mean by wish?”
“just….”
It seemed sad that he couldn’t readily say anything.
“I understand. If it’s a wish that can come true.”
“…Really?”
“Win instead.”
―10 minutes before the start of the game. Cadet Cha Hyun-woo and Han Cho-ah, please step up to the arena.
“It’s started. Let’s go.”
“…Please keep your promise.”
“Okay, so wake up. If you’re late for such an important event, it’s a nuisance in many ways.”
I took the lead and headed to the arena.
And Han Cho-ah, who follows me around.
The sound of her careful footsteps kept ringing in my ears.
Eventually, we arrived at the promised place and I sent Han Cho-ah up to the arena.
“I’ll go.”
“yes.”
“I will never disappoint you.”
Leaving only those words behind, Han Choa left.
―Have you finished all preparations for each other?
The moderator looked at the two and asked if they would start.
Han Cho-ah and Cha Hyeon-woo did not say anything.
He was just infusing magic into the magic sword.
-ruler! A whistle will announce the start of the game.
Choa Han and Hyunwoo Cha are ready for a duel.
The moderator who was watching them alternately shouted loudly.
―Then the match begins…!
―Too-kwang!
Before the presenter’s whistle could be heard, a huge roar rang in the arena.
The culprit of the roar was Choa Han.
“…f*cked up.”
I looked at Han Choa with an emotionless expression.
After looking at her for a moment, he turned his head.
To Cha Hyeon-woo, who had been standing until just now, now collapsed as a half-corpse.
“I’m sorry…”
