New chapter title, new arc!

11 Not a end (1)

1 Their story: a certain coht of the empire, when I lost my arm in the Great War and I was at a loss of what to do

Perhaps out of pity, ht introduced me to a new occupation

It was a commentator

It was a role where I could analyzed the tens, no, hundreds of changes and ames that proceeded over a split second that were invisible to the eyes of co

I was always a talkative person before I becaht, and the same applied even when I was one too, so this job was quite suited to me and so five years on, I’d commentated on many events since…

And for the first time in five years, I screwed up as a commentator

[……]

But it seeician Merrell

What would you say was the most vital trait to have as a co without stopping

The role of a co the events of ain the odd gaps at the start of an event or any unexpected lulls in the middle of a match

Normally even a silence of a few seconds, a few tens of seconds would automatically draw criticish several minutes had passed, neither of us could speak

Normally one of the ied into the broadcast rooiven us an earful

But the ad into the broadcast roo stunned at the broadcast

[What, is that all?]

A single student was standing alone all too peacefully

But his surroundings were the very picture of hell

The grounds in front of hiic bombardment, and dotted around the landscape were students that more rese before him, was the Arucia student council president, down on one knee, barely holding on while leaning onto his sword for support

I was a forious the seat of the Arucia student council president was

One of the Four Great Acadereatest schools of the empire

And the student council president of Arucia, the school rated as the strongest of those schools, needed to have splendid political acumen and trust of the students as a prerequisite, and also needed top-class strength as befitting of the strongest swordsmanshi+p academy, Arucia

No matter how talented you were, or how popular you ith the other students, if the teachers decide that you didn’t have the swordsmanshi+p talents to represent Arucia, you were automatically stripped from the seat of president

Even in reality, every year there were cases where potential candidates were fro the students, but were stripped for the right to run for president because their swords

That Arucia student council president, was currently on his knees and screa his throat hoarse in front of the president of the school deerasia student council president

It was a scenario where you couldn’t comprehend it in words

But it was even less comprehensible when you saith your oo eyes

[Wha, how did it coue co silence and sent his voice out into the ic tool for commentary

[Th, that’s true]

I also pulled … but it seemed that it would take some time for o back fro It seeht?]

[Yes, it felt like they were trying to end it before Yugrasiathe Marcis battle]

[That’s right But, sorasia’s end Just a single person, their student council president Nerkia]

[Yes, and… that single person…]

[Defeated Arucia all by himself]

[……]

[……]

We really shouldn’t be doing this, yet we fell silent once again

Just hoe supposed to explain this

There were many cases where the difference in abilities were all too clear in fights between students, who called experience

They say that out in the real world where it was actually easier to get stoeniuses were the ones who suffered early deaths, but fights between students were not that cruel or lethal

And so, there were no reason for students to cross beyond the boundary of death and surpass their lis that one could only see on the battlefield

Because those experiences were ones you could only have when death truly loomed in front of your eyes, and you overcame and survived the experience

There was no way students could ever experience such things That hy the difference in talent was so overwhelrasia student council president, Nerkia, was an undeniable genius in the field of suure in ternised as the person contracted to the greatest number of spirits in the continent by the Surasia student council president

And in last year’s imperial festival he showed his true class

By rasia in second place by Day 2, and even as far as first place on Day 3

Even if the student council’s physical andthem to lose all the team events and crash back down to third place, there was nobody that blamed Nerkia, their president

On the contrary, people judged that if the average skill level of Yugrasia’s students were up to par with Marcis and Arucia, the Yugrasia that Nerkia led could have gone on to win the whole thing, such highly rated was Nerkia

A genius sunised

He was a genius who earned the title of ‘Elemental Army’ due to his skillful ability to use his various summons no matter what situation he found himself in

If you looked beyond schools and looked at hihly than the presidents of the other three schools!

Even if people said Yugrasia eak, there was no one who said that their student council president, Nerkia eak!

Indeed He was a genius He was talented
