The academies began to move in perfect order.
At first, it was an atmosphere of trying to find out if there was a traitor, but soon each of them agreed.
If there’s a powerful enemy who can dominate the game alone, it’s better to join forces and eliminate him first.
The base of Marchen Academy. central room.
In the corner of the room, Ciel Carnedas was lying sound asleep on a blanket, and by the window, Kerid and White Clark were leaning against the wall, carefully looking out the window.
“My familiar said that the atmosphere was unusual… .”
Nervous Keridna.
Her eyes turned towards me.
“The other academy kids are advancing this way.”
“I know even if you don’t say anything.”
[Clairsight] already grasped the situation.
Keridna opened her ax eye.
“You were expecting it to be like this, right?”
“Roughly.”
“ha. What do you mean? Why did a kid like you, who has nothing to regret, participate in this game in the first place?”
I mean… Isn’t that a question people usually hear about strong villains who block the main characters in cartoons?
Then they say that they want to destroy all the villains, or that they want to annoy people.
“To topple over.”
“uh?”
“I intend to finish this game quickly.”
… After answering, I feel the same way about my answer.
<Merchen’s Magic Knight> 「Act 11, Scene 1, Academy Competition」.
The time limit for the Academy Competition is until midnight the day after tomorrow. The reason why so much time is given is because it is a structure that has no choice but to be a long-term battle.
‘In the scenario, it ended the next night, right?’
That’s why this tournament was a big part of the game.
And right around the time the academy competition was over, the “Fairy Wars” started right away.
‘Let’s organize it again.’
I recalled the purpose of participating in the academy competition.
‘The first goal is to fight Noah.’
Noah Bartan, one of the participants at Betel Academy, is a male student with iron magic.
Originally, he was also a powerful character who should have been the strongest in the academy competition.
‘Although I participated and resigned from the position of the strongest.’
Anyway, Noah is also the final boss of 「Act 11, Scene 1」 in the game.
In the game, they meet Ian by chance and form an alliance with each other and play friendship, but in the end, only the Merhen Academy and the Betel Academy survive and battle each other.
Ian, noticing that Noah is not generating electricity, stimulates Noah with his excellent rhetoric, befitting a protagonist, to draw out the power of iron.
Roughly… ‘We are all fighting with all our might, so why are you like that?’
Eventually, Ian joins forces with the members and gains experience points by defeating Noah, who uses iron magic.
In other words, my first goal was to fight Noah, who uses the power of iron, practice for the “Fairy War”, and accumulate experience points.
‘The second objective is to finish this tournament quickly.’
The iron fairy Lachneel will come to Noah. It is to absorb Noah, who has been affected by iron magic.
After that, they will start occupying this area and try to gradually expand their territory.
‘then.’
If you finish the academy competition quickly, you can prepare for Rachneel in earnest before the students are in danger.
‘Because I don’t know when or how Rachnell will appear, in his mind.’
The only certainty is that he appears in Oldrek during the Academy Competition.
It was my judgment to make a clear preparation in a clear place.
Wouldn’t it have been better if the tournament itself had been stopped? It didn’t work.
During the course of the academy competition, all kinds of big names stay in Oldrek. They are either the strong themselves or the ones who lead the strong. Furthermore, there is even Emperor Carlos here.
In other words, many strong people will join forces to minimize damage from Rachnil under the Emperor, and inevitably protect many people.
It’s not a simple speculation because it was like that in <Merchen’s Magic Knight> under the emperor.
That’s why the academy competition had to be held. And I was going to end this contest quickly to protect the students.
‘Fortunately, everyone is targeting me.’
It was fortunate that all the enemy students were not cowards. Indeed, they are promising talents.
To set up a strategy called ‘joining forces to eliminate Isaac before Marchen Academy secures the item’.
In the first place, if you think about the items and traps in this game, you might have the courage to attack me.
But I am someone who has cleared <Merchen’s Magic Knight> countless times.
Even if I haven’t memorized the location of all the items that can be obtained in this tournament, I know enough about the location of useful items. Most of the effects of the items are memorized.
The difference in the amount of information was overwhelming.
“I overturn the contest… . I see.”
“Aren’t you walking?”
“why me?”
Unexpectedly, Keridna showed an aloof reaction.
“There must be an important reason, right? You’re not the kind of person who harms people without thinking.”
“That’s a moving statement, so I’m grateful… .”
If it were me, I would have been dissatisfied with me trying to mess with this tournament for whatever reason.
Have I become a trustworthy person?
“Come and run wild. Because I, the ‘student president’, support you.”
Keridna dared to emphasize the title of ‘student president’.
Before the academy competition started, Keridna became the student council president after the election for the student council president and as per the <Merchen’s Magic Knight> scenario.
This is like walking a tightrope.
‘It’s good for me.’
It’s not like we’re exchanging deep affection for each other. It was comfortable to have such a dull relationship with Keridna.
Now is the time to step out.
“Well, I’ll go.”
“Go.”
I got up from the ice chair I was sitting on.
The game is still in the very early stages, so you only need to bring a few items.
* * *
“What kind of English is this?! Many academy students are running towards one place at once! At the end of that direction is the base of Marchen Academy! Are they all trying to get rid of the overwhelming participant in this academy match, that student?!”
The presenter shouted excitedly.
Numerous students were crossing the battlefield toward the base of Merchen Academy. Just like it was a 4-1 match from the start.
The audience was convinced at once. If we don’t end Marchen Academy first, it’s obvious what the outcome of the game will be.
There may be an academy that will attack you at this time, but that academy will be the next target for other academies.
All the academy students assumed that it would be impossible to deal with Marchen Academy if they did not join forces here in the first place.
“Noah, are you nervous?!”
From noble mtl dot com.
Among the students heading towards the base of Marchen Academy, a student from Betel Academy tapped Noah on the back and asked.
Noah looked at his fellow student with helpless eyes.
“any. Because the opponent is the opponent.”
“but. Aren’t you excited?”
“what?”
“To cooperate with the guys who have been competing and aim for the same enemy.”
Looking around, I saw many students in different school uniforms.
“Ice subjugation battle.”
“what?”
“That’s what it is, Noah. If we really fight with Bingze-sama, we won’t have the slightest chance of winning, but it’s worth trying here, right?”
“you… . I was so excited.”
“of course! He’s a hero, hero! I really wanted to see Bingje-sama in real life! Even if you join forces with the other guys? How easy is it to get a chance to compete with Bingje-nim?”
“Oh yeah… .”
Like a fellow student running alongside, Ice Isaac’s followers are as numerous as stars in the night sky. It was nothing new to Noah.
The subjugation of Isaac.
At first, many students were terrified when they heard the operation.
However, the students were excited when they discovered the possibility of defeating Isaac under the game rules and reached the situation where they had to actually carry out the operation.
You can see the real life of that revered hero, a living legend.
You can face his ice magic.
Such thoughts filled the minds of the students.
And that feeling played a big role in bringing students from different academies together.
“… … !”
Noah’s eyes widened.
“What’s wrong, Noah?”
“see.”
With good eyesight, Noah spotted someone in front of him.
A high hill road reminiscent of ruins. A man stood tall at the top.
His face was lightly shaded from the sunlight, but the students rushing at him immediately recognized who he was.
A whistle stone floating next to it. An unknown sense of oppression. and charisma.
All the students stopped and dust rose. The students who were advancing from the other direction hid themselves and stopped all at once, holding their breath.
Soon, a heavy silence came.
Their gaze was directed only at the male student standing on the hill. Each of them swallowed dry saliva and looked straight at the legend in front of them.
“That one… ?”
A new Wonwang who appeared at Marchen Academy.
Isaac.
“A lot have come.”
In contrast to his charisma, Isaac had a good smile on his face.
The round spectacles refined his impression.
“Why is he the first… ?”
“Are you still unfamiliar with this game… ?”
Due to the nature of this tournament, where the effects of items and traps are strong, anyone can be dangerous in front of such a large number of students.
So, it was definitely a risky act for Isaac, the watchman of Marchen Academy, to act first.
but.
“no… , maybe the other way around.”
One student’s answer.
As they had expected from the beginning, when they saw Isaac appearing alone, the thought that he could not have grasped the nature of the game gradually began to creep into the students’ minds.
Isaac is a human beyond cognition.
In the first place, the students were blinded by the effect of the items and traps and did not realize that predicting his thoughts, judgments, and responses was meaningless.
“I’m sorry that I seem to be interfering with this board.”
said Isaac in a loud voice.
“The game should end here.”
The students shook their shoulders in shock.
If any of the participants here had said something like that alone, the students would surely have laughed at it.
However, Isaac’s words had a different weight.
“Unbelievable… .”
Hans McGregor, a muscular man who steps forward with a voice of admiration.
He was surprised to see Isaac, his eyes wide open.
The two faced each other.
“Yesterday, at the hot spring… .”
“… … .”
Many of the students here were not of Isaac’s interest. Anyway, with the [Clairvoyant], I figured out the location of the heart stone. If you destroy all of them, the game is over.
Isaac’s goal was to fight Noah Bartan after drawing out his original power.
Students who would interfere with that goal were determined to be eliminated by quickly removing the seats for qualification.
However, there was one exception. It was the boy in front of me, Hans McGregor.
Isaac was sure from the start that he would surely go first.
A scapegoat was needed anyway. Hans will faithfully fulfill that role.
Isaac looked at Hans calmly.
“Kkeuk.”
Hans closed his eyes tightly, then opened them again and smiled.
He bowed his head.
“Sir Bingje, I wanted to see you. I apologize for last night’s rudeness. Please forgive me for being ignorant.”
“I apologize. come up.”
Isaac took off his glasses.
“I think so.”
Hans raised his head again. Excitement at the thought of fighting Isaac raised his head.
Hans laughed and kicked the ground with body strengthening magic on his leg.
Dig, the moment the dust rose, Hans disappeared on the spot.
Hans ran up the hill in an instant and reached Isaac.
Water engulfed his right fist and fire engulfed his left fist.
“Sir Bingje, have a good match with our brothers!”
It was at this moment that Hans’s thick fists were hurled at Isaac.
Isaac pulled one leg behind him and clenched his fist lightly.
Wow!!
Something swung and sank Hans’ head deeply.
Hans didn’t even have time to scream. The only sound was the creaking of the jawbone.
Paaa!
A shriek from the wind that spreads a beat late. heavy wind pressure.
Isaac’s fist, fired like a gun, was much faster and more powerful than Hans’.
Whoa!
Kwakwang!
Hans’s body flew through the air like a ball, pierced the building at the bottom of the hill, and tumbled to the ground several times.
A collapsing building. in the rising dust.
“Uh, heck… .”
The sound of Hans’ gasping came out.
“next.”
To the students who were at a loss for words, Isaac’s calm declaration continued.
