107 < 106 entangled (1) > (1/2)

Monday morning.

Today is a day without classes.

To be precise, it's an alternate class day.

[14th Preliminary Ranking Survival VS 83rd Place of Resilience]

Today is the day of my ranking battle.

“Seo Yul. Fight. ”

“My ancestor, you should go. ”

“I'll be right back. ”

I left the waiting room with a demonstration and Jia.

I don't know how long it's been since I came to the Colosseum.

Because of the incident, the regular ranking battle itself was cancelled a lot.

I didn't want to watch it unless it was my ranking match or the main one, so I didn't have to come.

“Hmm.”

The path to the Colosseum.

I feel something new.

I was a challenger the other day, and I was surprised to find myself in the shoes of a challenger.

Rank 498 to 14.

I worked really hard.

I'm not proud of it.

Through the passageway, you enter the inside of the brightly lit Colosseum.

“Waaaah!”

“The Gangseo rate is handsome! ”

The audience cheered first. I can also hear a familiar voice in my ears.

“Last check on the camera! ”

“You're a great visionary! Don't look at me!”

In the meantime, I heard the hottest voices of people who seemed to be in the industry.

At first it was just a burden, but now it's fun. It reminded me of a celebrity saying that attention and popularity are like inexhaustible drugs.

“Obviously. Strange. ”

I stumbled across the middle of the Colosseum smiling.

My battle opponent, who has already arrived, is staring at me with a stiff face.

He looks very nervous.

I don't see the need for victory on my face. However, he is happy with his resolution.

“Aha.”

I know it's hard to win, but I have to show my officials what's good here.

That's the idea.

Reasonable judgment.

In fact, that nervousness student won't be able to beat me.

His stats are average C rank, but that's it. He's a stone spearer, and he's no match for me.

Maybe one way or another, we can cook lightly.

“It's a reasonable idea. ”

It's a shallow idea.

There's no way a good game can come from the heart of being sure of defeat.

“Quantum, last check on the equipment. ”

When I got to my seat, the judge's instructor said,

We lightly checked the fighting equipment.

“System checked. Quantum, to your positions. ”

After a full check of the Colosseum's safety settings, we moved into position.

“Then I'll start the regular ranking war from now on! ”

A hologram message pops up in the center with the instructor's shout.

[Start Regular Ranking Battle.]

[0010]

Well, let's get this sorted out and get some rest.

I grabbed the dagger hanging from my waist lightly.

At that moment, the surrounding landscape changed.

The path of the wind unfolds.

A world felt by the wind, not by the eyes.

I feel a weak struggle of nervousness in that world.

Looks like you don't want to win either.

[009]

That's all for today's lesson.

Even though the afternoon is full of ranking battles, the spectators are free to go back.

Let's beat this and go back and learn how to use magic from the princess.

I lowered my core and jumped into position.

It was then.

Creep-!

I feel a chill in my back.

It gave me chills all over my body.

My body trembles, and I feel a cold sweat on my head.

· · · · · · · What?

The wind seemed to be howling.

You run away, screaming that you shouldn't be here.

[008, 7]

I can feel something in the audience.

Something black.

An unknown fear became a type of energy that bound me.

I turned my head.

[006]

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Right after you check out that black thing. I lost blood on my face.

The wind is screaming.

Overwhelming charisma.

Intimidation makes you want to kneel.

It's like they're shaped like human beings.

I'm sure.

There can't be anything else that emits that much energy.

· · · · · · Unknown.

Unknown, boss, lifesaver of truth.

He stares at the audience across the hall.

With a smile that says it can't be any more fun.

* * *

[005]

“· · · · · · · Seokyul, what's wrong with that? ”

“I don't know.”

Maden and Eugene, who had postponed their work to intuit the ranking of the Book of Genesis, were tilting their heads toward the book of Genesis.

In the audience with two people, I do not see the face of the Gangseo turn.

It's because Eugene and Maiden are looking at the audience seat exactly the opposite of the audience seat.

However, you don't need to see the face. The Gangseo rate is tense. There is no rhetorical aura that is always felt.

“Something on the other side? ”

“I don't know. I mean, he's a regular 83rd. ”

“I see. ”

In Maiden's and Eugene's eyes, 83rd place appeared to be a very ordinary cadet. You're nervous about the whole ”Lecture” thing in front of someone like that?

It couldn't have happened.

[1]

[Start!]

The ranking battle started before the question was solved.

“Nice moves. ”

At the beginning, you dodged the fierce stabbing of the nervousness.

Ultimate simplicity.

It was a beautiful step and a half.

“Hey.”

“Oh.”

Out of all sides comes awe.

Consecutive stabbing cuts. An uplift that starts with a slash.

He avoids them all as if they were running water.

The difference in skills was overwhelming to everyone.

“An inexperienced move you wouldn't consider a cadet. ”

“Are you filming a special camera? Calculate the speed. ”

“I'm still filming. It is roughly D rank when calculated based on the highest speed. ”

“· · · · · · · Sure? ”
