Chapter 99 (1/2)
”Ahjussi, do it with me” (Yi Yu-Jin)
As soon as Kim In-Soo turned around and left, Yi Yu-Jin asked Sae-Jin for a fight
On the seventh day, which would be the next day, it was reserved for things like ical tests, and having intervieith Knights Orders, so realistically, this was it for her to reverse the rankings However, Yi Yu-Jin looked a bit anxious, since if Sae-Jin refused, then that would be the end
Unfortunately, Jin Seh-Hahn/Ki at the e a little frustrated, Yi Yu-Jin grasped his arm and shook it Only then, he turned his head towards her direction
”Let's do it” (Yi Yu-Jin)
”…Do what?” (Sae-Jin)
”The duel” (Yi Yu-Jin)
”Uh… Ah… Sure thing” (Sae-Jin)
At his easier-than-expected agreement, her expressions turned weird But that only lasted for a short while She began energetically sht forward! No backing out now, right?” (Yi Yu-Jin)
”Yeah, sure” (Sae-Jin)
And so, the ht exercises to prepare for the upco cadets gathered at a huge dueling arena on the fourth floor of the Tower
Kireet the observers hidden fronaled the beginning of the duels
Most cadets thought that the procession ht become rather tedious as there were a fair nuoing, every battle lasted only for a ay too brief h-ranked cadets chose to fight against a low-ranked ones, though The thing was, these high-ranked cadets were ht against opponents with too low a rank, but then, many low-ranked cadets ere confident of their chances in duel began provoking the high ranked ones instead, and sohts (?) falling
”…Ohhh”
A flash of light shooting out fro's bladethe 35th duel And it had been only 25
”The 9th ranked, Goh Yun-Jong, winner”
”Nicely done!” (Yi Yu-Jin)
Elated by the victory of her friend, Yi Yu-Jin stood up from her seat and shouted out loudly
”Next, Yi Yu-Jin and Jin Seh-Hahn Come up on the arena”
Her joy only lasted for a brief moment, however As soon as her name was called out, her face became incomparably stiff
Jin Seh-Hahn/Kim Sae-Jin made his way up on the arena first and she followed hiainst each other, different lines of thoughts flowed in their minds
'…No should I handle this? Do it with one punch, just like until now?' (Sae-Jin)
'Surely, he has no experience in duels like this, so I ht away… But, soht Maybe, I should take ap…' (Yi Yu-Jin)
It was kind of obvious that Yi Yu-Jin's thoughts were a lot hty compared to her opponent's
”Who do you think in?”
Observers couldn't hide their exciteet under way
”I still believe Yi Yu-Jin would win this one Yi Yu-Jin e than Yu Sae-Jung, but she's a Knight who is willing to become a repeat test taker just for an opportunity to enter Eden There should be quite a gap between the two as far as actual coth is concerned”
Observers spoke out their own educated opinions So one before Soreed and said their skill levels were siht continue on for at least 5 minutes…
But in the h to shock everyone into stupor exploded out from the arena below them
”…That's the end! The 1st ranked, Jin Seh-Hahn, winner!”
Even the referee's voice was tre, as if he was confused somewhat
”…What was that?” (Kim Yu-Rin)
Stunned by that sudden, unexpected announceot up from her seat and with her oo eyes, checked the situation at the dueling arena There was Yi Yu-Jin toppled over, clutching her stoirl, his fist clenched tight
The duel was clearly over
”…Keum” (Sae-Jin)
Jin Seh-Hahn/Ki es up this fast… but even he didn't expect Yi Yu-Jin tohis fist
And the result of that siroan…”
Yi Yu-Jin was drooling all over the ground while unable to recover her wits;at hiood, eh Didn't expect you to move the way I wanted you to Really, my luck is the best” (Sae-Jin)
…He felt the need to say soazes, so, he did
After the first stage of the duel had co for the expert's arrival
Jin Seh-Hahn/Kiot nervous about running into Yu Sae-Jung On the side, Yi Yu-Jin remained silent, totally downtrodden There were traces of tears on the corners of her eyes, even
”Oh, sers!!”
It was then, Yu Sae-Jung made her entrance
She ithout a doubt, an idol
Not only the quietly-seated cadets stood up quickly in order to take a good look at her, even the referee for the duel, Kiazed at the woman who seemed to exhibit a bit h heelswore a pair of high-heels She ascended the arena and spoke while sweeping her gaze over the cadets
”…My evaluation standard is straightforward If you can withstand one strike fro)
Yu Sae-Jung's attitude was incredibly cold and distant, which was completely different from when she ith Sae-Jin in private
”Since I don't have a lot of time, let's start quickly, fros, please co)
And the second half of the duels - or, in this case, 'guidance', began in this manner and ended faster than the first half None of the 70 or so cadets could receive Yu Sae-Jung's strike with a wooden sword, so the whole thing only needed about ten ic Tattoos inscribed on her sot to see for himself just what kind of a mini-monster he had inadvertently created here

”Next… Yi Yu-Jin?” (Yu Sae-Jung)
”Yes, here~!”
Yi Yu-Jin replied back loudly and quickly dashed forward Although there was only a two-year gap between the two, seeing the overwhelhts had returned in full force within her eyes
”Well then, shall we get started?” (Yi Yu-Jin)
Yu Sae-Jung spoke as she lightly swung the wooden sword Although it looked light and weak, the a down on her was far beyond her expectations
”Uh-aht!!”
Yi Yu-Jin let out a strange shout and somehoas able to endure the strike by the skin of her teeth
Yu Sae-Jung began counting up to five while th and Mana she imbued in the sword, and then withdrew the weapon
”Heu uh uh…”
