Chapter 91 – Protecting Honor (2/2)
With a screech… she actually unsheathed her tachi in front of Caesar!
With that, Rosie was scared and fell back a couple of steps, she thought Shen DaiYing was angered and wanted to slice them. But Shen DaiYing held her mouth and waved her hands like she was apologizing.
Quickly after she waved her sword casually then sheathed it again.
Screech… the sword was sheathed at lightning speed.
Rosie was terrified, but Caesar was excited, he pushed away Rosie’s hands and ran next to Shen DaiYing, lowered his head and carefully examined ‘Snow’ that was hanging at her waist.
Afterwards, Caesar said something to Rosie with a serious expression, then Shen DaiYing finally revealed a satisfied expression.
Following that, Caesar and Shen DaiYing left the classroom together and Rosie was left by her self.
“She succeeded.” Elena took joy in his misfortune.
“Right, I taught her that, how could she not?”
After a couple more days, the Intramural Selection Competition will begin. Caesar definitely wanted to make use of his time to raise his abilities, he must be delighted having someone as strong as Shen DaiYing as his training partner. By comparison, Rosie’s chef wasn’t attractive.
And so, the first day, the second day… Rosie was continuously left alone for three days, and Shen DaiYing successfully won over Caesar’s free time.
Sadly, Lin Xiao didn’t feel happy.
…
A couple of days later.
It was a new day of class, and it was still teacher Woos’s old face.
“Cough… everyone be quiet, the Intramural Selection Competition is going to start the day after tomorrow. Just like last year, it will be a 1v1. The magic department students will compete together with the warrior department students!”
After saying that, teacher Woos cleverly paused for a bit, as if waiting for something.
Sure enough, what he was waiting for came…
“What? Competing with those monkeys from the warrior department? Stop joking!”
“Teacher Woos, that isn’t fair! How could we beat those warriors in a 1v1?”
“That’s right, we can’t use instant cast, even if we may be slightly higher leveled than them, but we can’t win against warriors!”
Just like Woos though, after hearing the news, the students will get heated and protest against the unfairness of the competition.
But they cant be blamed, under a 1v1, it was very difficult for a magician to beat a warrior of the same level, that was common knowledge.
In a group, magicians can display devastating power, especially collective magic bombardment, that was a tactic that could destroy a city. But in a 1v1, magicians were in a disadvantage. Even Woos, a grand magician, acknowledges that.
Just for the past couple selected students from Loran Academy’s Intramural Selection Competition has all been warriors, a magician getting into the top 3 once in a while was already genius.
So, every time the Intramural Selection Competition comes around, the warrior department students get excited.
Those warrior department students already didn’t like those weak and cowardly magicians, now they had the chance to teach these magic otaku’s a lesson, how could they hold back?
There was no way to resolve the tension between the students of the warrior and magic department, and it gets worse every year. During the Intramural Selection Competition there’s always some students getting hurt, and over 90% of the students are from the magic department.
It can’t be helped that magicians were born with a disadvantage.
What? You want to know why Loran Academy does this even though they know it’s unfair? It’s because all the other academies also do the same thing!
There were many other robust academies in Eileen other than Loran Academy. In order to demonstrate their talented students, everyone must select the strongest students to compete.
Strength, that was the sole criterion, it had nothing to do with fairness. Since magicians were weak and warriors were strong, then make those magicians scram and let the warriors participate! What, you don’t accept it? Then fight, whoever wins, whoever goes, that was the most fair way!
If you have ability, then take out your true strength and beat those warrior department students, then that’s impressive!
“Cough… quiet down! The rules are already decided, it’s useless even if you complain. Participation is voluntary, so if you’re afraid of getting injured, you don’t have to sign up.” Woos spoke seriously towards the students, “Of course, you can’t participate just because you want to! Only the students who received an A or above during the actual combat drill are qualified to sign up!”
The students began talking amongst themselves.
“What? An A? I-I got a B… sigh, I can’t even participate even if I want to.”
“Don’t be stupid, even if magicians participate, we can’t beat those warriors! It’s better to give up…”
“Sigh, you’re right, other than Caesar, I’m afraid there’s no one else from the magic department that can make it to the end, right?”
Only Caesar, a magic swordsman, with extraordinary strength, if it was him, he can definitely make it to the end!
The top two obtains the right to participate in the Academy Tournament, Caesar will surely make it to the top two.
It’s up to Caesar to protect the magic department’s honor!
