10 We came, e won (6)
12 Their story: Ria el Nermia’s story
I actually orried about the threat of Yugrasia
But the perpetual third place, and if you excluded Mercaria which had no fighting power to speak of, Yugrasia was in all honesty dead last a the combat-orientated schools, and their reputation orse than I had ever iined
I did rasia to the student council and told theainst theh, or in other words, an annoying first year, whose words fell on deaf ears
And the result of that, was Yugrasia sweeping through every single one of the iht fro out the eest ever swords called a swordsle person, but you could never treat one as just that
They were ade all by thehting abilities dropped noticeably when they ran out ofeven if they ran out ofas they had a sword in their hands They were the symbol of victory for an ally, and fear for ene was our enemy
“If it’s the Letia House’s Lady Aris… Since she’s 17 now, that’s almost an entire year faster than the Areista House’s Sword Princess”
The Four Great Acadee of 20
They were famous schools, and since there were also many rejected applicants, people even made multiple attempts to attend one of thee 16, 17, and it wasn’t like there weren’t people like e
Even if one was younger, if you had the talent to be accepted, then you had the right to attend, that was the kind of place the Four Great Acadele exception, Archduke Heblaein Run Zearr froed a at the academies
And even that Archduke Zearr achieved that peak at the age of 23, as a fourth year on the verge of graduation
A first year student, a teenager at that, beco a swordsmaster is unprecedented in the history of the entire continent
The only siest swordsmaster, the Sword Princess
But even the Sword Princess did not create that result with the status of a student, but as the I all sorts of benefits
Hoas it that a student, and fro a swordsmaster?
And a God-class suht three ainst a swordsmaster?
“This is actually…”
-Are you having fun, owner?
“Of course”
To be honest, I was far, far too disappointed
No matter that I had coet h expectations for the four schools called the pillars of the empire, or the empire’s future
But the reality was, a pathetic level of education that couldn’t even coanization
When I looked at the children of nobility creating and scrapping over political factions instead of actually learning anything, I started to seriously wonder just why Howling couldn’t beat the eh of course those worries vanished instantly when I thought of the instructor’s disciples
And so as I lived day after day in disappointment without any stimulation, people who could excite me finally appeared, how could I not be happy about that!
-Owner, I’ suffering hardshi+p?
“They say that you can’t move forithout trials and tribulations, didn’t the instructor tell us that?”
-So When owner had the trial and tribulation called the bat, did you move forward?
“Sometimes you have to retreat backwards in order to advance forwards!”
-Though you wouldn’t be saying that if you didn’t use me as a sacrifice for said retreat!
How noisy Soood
He was simply the thro- I mean, emotional sacrifice to help his allies retreat
Although, I was actually kind of sorry for doing that to hi called the bat, was that sort of thing
“Yes, it was the bat I grehile getting hit by the bat Even if the enemy is a swordsmaster, the fear of death we experienced is different!”
But, the next day
A completely different turn of events unfolded coh! Did you think! This was all it would take to stop reatest genius had to offer!”
“Wha, what the?”
I couldn’t help but show a shocked expression, unlike my nor period of the i an appearance in the events from Day 3 onwards
Even if we had healers, they couldn’t alleviate the mental stress
For the first two days where each event was only worth 1 point, Marcis would use theth for future ly, I had to start participating a full day earlier than we expected, and that event was Capture the Flag
Six people
Out of the six events on Day 2, this was the only event worth 2 points
To earn those 2 points I also participated, and we destroyed teams from Mercaria and Arucia
And in the quarterfinals I ended up rasia for the first time
But the opponents were all common no-names
And as you’d expect from non-famous students, all they did was sue in, and I easily knocked them down
Afterwards I froze their hands and feet with ice !
There was a boo
And as I saw the gleaed to latch onto id shi+ver ran down my spine
“They, they attacked their own hands and feet?!”
I heard it was a co on the battlefield
When all the healers were dead, people that were bleeding out cauterized their oounds with fire ic
Or when their bodies were iic, they would burn their own bodies with fire ic
But that was a battlefield with lives on the line
Losing a part of your body or some pain was a hile trade for your life
But, this was the imperial festival
Even if each respective academy’s futures and profits were on the line, a student sacrificing a body part to escape was simply unfathoic responding? If it’s that h for theic tool, that once the wearer suffered a certain degree of pain or danger, would auto tents!
If you blew up your own hand, then surely that would be enough pain to teleport you to the healers?
“Fufufu, no ht, you’re still a brat”
“Did you think that we, the students of Yugrasia, that fought against the silver devil! Would withdraith just this tiny bit of pain!”
“Pain? Did soht a mosquito bitmy arm itch”
“They’re insane…”
It was an explosion big enough to tear off parts of their uniforood defense enchanth that if you listened carefully, you could still hear the sizzling of burnt flesh
If there was someone in that state who could say that it was but a mosquito bite, you could not call them normal by any means
They’re hly insane
“We actually went and lost yesterday”
“If we lose today as well, all we have left is to face off against the devil”
“I’d rather sell ainst the silver devil!”
“Uuuhg?”
As I looked at those desperate shouts and deranged eyes
I felt that eanization
