103 – Favorable Work

-Pyong!

With the sound of threads breaking.

-Cheong!!!

At some point, Adela,

It wasn’t enough even after destroying the arena in half, so I was parrying Lai’s attack that flew all the way to the bench.

Quang!

The wave of power that changed direction and lost its destination,

It gets stuck in the wall in the corner and explodes.

“Wheeyu!”

“As expected, the leader.”

“…”

‘It’s heavy.’

You can still feel the heavy feeling at your fingertips.

As Adela slowly lifted her head and looked over her arena,

She is on top of the arena that is split in half as if a line had been drawn.

My eyes met with Silica, who was looking this way with her blank eyes.

Looking at ‘What is this?’

Adela also didn’t know that Rai would be like this,

First of all, we need to organize the situation.

“… Stop it.”

At the same time as notifying the end of Dalian,

Lampard was running towards this side with Seong Jin-ha as if a loud sound had been heard over there.

Chuck-

“What?! Is it over already?”

When she reached the three men standing there without saying a word,

Lampard, known for being careless, began to open his mouth frivolously.

“So. The result?”

“…Silica lost.”

“I see… It’s an obvious result, but it can’t be helped. But it was a good experience for him too… Huh? What?”

This time, Arone, who was lost in thought as if in a lingering memory somewhere,

She opened her mouth, looking at Lampard, who was spitting out her nonsense despite Banter’s reply.

“Silica lost.”

“What nonsense is that? Are you guys making fun of me on purpose?”

That’s right. Silica?

Poof-

But what she sees in Lampard’s eyes as she turns her head is,

Not the look of Silica nodding her head.

On top of the arena split in half,

It was Silica looking this way with her unfocused eyes.

“… What the hell happened?”

-Padak!

Only the sound of the severed silica tail armor wriggling on the floor of the arena and disappearing into the air,

It was representing the current situation.

**

‘It was a big deal.’

It wasn’t an opponent that needed power control,

I committed it too grandly.

Considering that it was sparring, it was an attack with high lethality,

And above all…

‘… You won’t ask for compensation, will you?’

Following the black line drawn from where I am standing,

I walked out of the arena.

-Awesome!

As I moved her steps, Mr. Silica gave her body a big shake. She

Followed me and walked out together under the arena.

Adela approached first with a bitter smile,

After that, Banter and Mr. Lampard, who had arrived before we knew it, welcomed us.

“You worked hard.”

“Ah. Really. It was an impressive sparring.”

“Damn it. Missing this…!”

Adela’s bitter smile is

I want to believe it’s not because of the smashed battlefield floor.

“… Experienced death.”

“Did you really lose? Even with wolf armor on?!”

“… Shut up Lampard.”

Only Silica got into a difficult situation because of me.

I didn’t want to do anything more noticeable, but…

“Thank you, Mr. Silica.”

“… Huh?”

“At the end. You watched a little bit.”

The story I am telling you is not a story made for Silica.

The time to weave the wings must have been a moment, but

Silica-san, who was protecting her eyesight with a shading wolf mask, couldn’t have been so slow to recover.

Perhaps by the time I muttered that it was dazzling for the last time,

She must have noticed what was happening right in front of her eyes as her eyesight had almost recovered.

From noble mtl dot com

Maybe it was because I was confident that I could block my big skill at least once,

I’m not sure if there was another reason…

To the side of Silica-san, who opened her eyes wide in surprise,

Mr. Arone exclaimed in exclamation.

“Ahahahaha. Found out! Silica.”

“…The more you look at it, the better it is. After all, is it the leader’s younger brother?”

“What is it? Did you watch it as expected? But judging from the reaction, it must have been really fun…!

Let’s do it with me later!”

“Okay. Let’s go get something to eat.”

Come to think of it, it was already lunchtime.

It was a fleeting moment from the point of view of sparring,

Since it was over, quite a bit of time has passed.

“What are you doing? Silica. Are you leaving?”

“Ah… Huh? I’ll go.”

Buck and go.

Silica-san came to me before I knew it,

He whispered something in my ear in a low voice that others couldn’t hear.

“…No.”

“Yes?”

“I didn’t watch it. I really meant to win.”

When you turn your head,

I see Silica-san looking up at me with dissatisfied eyes.

‘… This person is also quite a tired type.’

“But. You waited for me at the end, right?”

“That’s…”

Stupidly.

“…The video of the martial arts competition. I watched it too.”

“A video of a martial arts competition?”

“Yes. I saw him fighting desperately to be acknowledged by the captain.”

“… So?”

“I think you’ll want to show your secret skill in front of the captain at least once.

But I was going to break it right away and win… So.”

“Okay.”

Thank you for watching. If you say

About that. If you laughed at it, you would be in a better position.

I don’t know how to respond when the other person comes out like this.

At times like this, I just laugh casually.

Smile.

It is best to end with a plausible warm word.

“Sure. Next time, please fight again. The sparring with Silica-san was very beneficial to me.”

“Uh…Huh?”

“I can’t help it if you don’t like it…”

“Ah. No. I’ll do it. Dalian.”

That’s it.

As expected, it was true that people go halfway if they smile.

‘This is a rough solution…’

I wonder if Seong Jin-ha, who was next to me, overheard the conversation I just had.

I’m looking this way with a puzzled expression.

“…What.”

“You… No.”

“What is it?”

“As a forewarning, there is a higher proportion of women in this Order.

If you act like that in the future, you’ll get tired.”

What kind of food is that?

I received advice about communication from Seong Jin-ha, not from anyone else.

Something is very unfortunate.

In order not to fall behind anyway, let’s move her feet diligently to follow Adela, who is ahead.

A huge restaurant soon appeared.

Let’s all go inside to have a meal together.

“Hello!”

“Enjoy your meal!”

A booming greeting reverberates throughout the restaurant.

“…Yes. Rest in peace.”

Cheo-eok-

Adela, coolly accepting the knights’ greetings, picks up her plate and walks towards the food.

‘Oh. Force.’

I don’t know how the mild-mannered Adela maintains such a character, but

She actually got along pretty well after watching her for a while.

She also had the impression that she looked a bit scared when she stood still with an expressionless expression in the first place.

After choosing all the food, let’s sit down at an empty table.

Mr. Erona and Ms. Banter sit down on either side and start pouring out a barrage of questions.

Looking at her, Adela sat across from me with a slightly disapproving look on her face.

Mr. Silica sits down on her chair beside her.

‘…Can she sit here?’

Anyway, I thought she would do some kind of physical training while being among the knights.

She didn’t know that she would be so deeply involved with the Blood Demon Knights.

It’s like having a meal with the president and the team leaders of each department at work from her college practice.

Of course, in this case, the president is the father.

The friend who came with me is the heir to the company.

It was the moment when I realized again that life is a dirty gold spoon and a f*cking gem no matter where you go.

**

After that,

About four days have passed.

“Keukeuheu!!!”

‘I survived today without dying.’

There was nothing special about the four days.

Just to not die day by day,

I was just rolling around on the death penalty called the training ground.

“… Banter. My ribs still rattle.”

Is Jinha okay?

I heard Mr. Silica swung me to the brink of death.

To be able to walk down the corridors of the Knights branch, which I have gradually become accustomed to.

“… Huh?”

Late night,

At the time when everyone should have returned to the dormitories, light was leaking through the cracks in the doors in the hallway.

I’m going back at this time because my sparring has been delayed…

‘Who is…?’

Looking at the sign above the door,

It must be the department in charge of the administrative side.

And after a while.

“Keuheueueu!!!”

With the familiar sound of stretching,

A person I’ve seen walked outside with wide eyes.

“…What?”

“Mr. Lutia?”

Apart from the first day, I was taken to the royal training ground,

It was Ms. Lutia who had no chance to see her face.

“It’s been a while. What happened at such a late hour…?”

“… I’m a little late in sparring. Ms. Lutia, do you work overtime?”

“Haa… I think my head is going to explode with the bracket thing these days.”

“The bracket?”

“Yes. Last time…”

Ah.

Come to think of it,

I heard there was a friendly match with the Knights of the Leaf of the World Tree, right?

From a rumor that has been heard at first glance,

I heard that even the high-ranking knights participate in two of each…

‘Who are we going to go out?’

If you didn’t know each other like before, you wouldn’t know,

I suddenly became curious.

As for the Knights of the Leaf of the World Tree…

“Can I help you a little?”

“…Yes? Mr. Rai?”

“Yes. The more you divide the overtime, the earlier it ends.”

“But…”

“It may be more helpful than you think, right? Trust me and try it.”

“Certainly… Recently he’s been working with high-ranking knights…”

-Kiik.

“Well, just a little…”

Following Mr. Lutia into the administrative office,

I felt a completely different atmosphere from the training room.

The smell of piled papers and ink,

And even the windows that were left open to wake up and the soft lighting above the table.

‘… Looks like an office.’

Since I pulled a chair and sat down at a table with a light on,

Ms. Lutia was walking with cups in her hands.

“Do you like coffee?”

“Ah. I like it.”

“That’s good. Then…”

Tak-

“I’m sorry if it took so long,

There have been some changes to the senior knight’s papers, but I’d appreciate it if you could take a look.”

-Sueuk.

Let’s look at the documents Mr. Lutia gave you.

There are profiles of senior knights.

Among them, the profiles of the long-haired Ethan and Banter were written.

“Are these two going out?”

“Yes. To be honest, the intermediate level knights are all about their skills…

The important height can be seen as the result of sparring between high-ranking knights.”

Ethan and Bantera…

‘Somehow…’

Ethan-san had a stubborn personality that was hard to talk to, but

He seemed to be preparing something lately, so he was the most awkward of the senior knights.

And…

‘Why is he…’

Banter, who had been pounding on my side excitedly until just now.

I don’t know why this guy isn’t preparing anything for such an important game.

‘I think I know why Mr. Lutia is so worried.’

Mr. Ethan meticulously plans battles and fights mainly with traps using shaded formulas,

Banter fights without thinking, but fights with an innate sense of battle, depending on his physical condition.

Even though they had different personalities, they were two very different people.

Looking at your profile,

There was no fact that was different from what I knew.

“Ah… Really? Then you can just go in.”

“What about the other person?”

“The Elfheim side… We don’t have much information.”

“But give it a try.”

“This document is…”

– Flutter.

‘That’s right.’

As expected,

As soon as I turned over the documents, a familiar name appeared.

Mr. Hind and Mr. Kemper.

Looks like there really wasn’t much information,

There was only adequate personal information written on the documents.

It was a story that did not apply to me, who had been with me during my time in Elbheim.

“Mr. Lutia.”

“Yes?”

“You’re lucky. You can go to work.”

Of course, I felt sorry for Alfheim, but

It’s not an official match, it’s a friendly match, so this kind of expedient would be fine.

‘… There’s nothing bad about making good impressions in advance.’

Not all, but

There were also some fairly familiar names on the list of intermediate knights to be matched against.

Because the intermediate knights were opponents who had been sparring together,

I was in a state where I knew the other person’s habits and weaknesses one after another.

With that in mind, let’s fill in the blanks in the table one by one.

“…”

Ms. Ruthia opened her eyes wide and started looking at me, as if she saw something she couldn’t believe.

“…How?”

“I have a bit of a relationship with this side…”

“It’s ridiculous. The Knights of the Leaf of the World Tree, which I’ve searched desperately for weeks but haven’t found anything…”

– Bruises.

Lastly is the bracket of senior knights.

Since Mr. Hind is an honest man like a tree,

It would be difficult to follow Banter’s free-spirited movements.

Mr. Ethan…

Mr.

Swipe, snooze.

This is the end of the table.

Of course, let’s give a detailed explanation so that Lutia-san can understand it.

“…Competent.”

Ms. Lutia looks this way with her eyes twinkling.

“… It’s a bit burdensome.”

“No. This is… Thank you so much. I look forward to it later.”

Maybe because of the joy of not having to work overtime anymore,

I don’t know if it’s because I found talented people who are so talented that I drool.

At least, Mr. Lutia seemed happy now.

‘… I have no intention of joining the Knights.’

However,

Build-up is important even considering the upcoming fight.

“… Of course. If the Knights of the Bloodghost get into trouble later,

I’ll come running anytime.”

“That’s very reliable. The captain will be pleased.”

… Rather, if Adela knew this, she might cause a match.

Recently,

Queen Adelana’s movements were unusual.

They must have started taking action in earnest.

If so,

It was time for me to start preparing accordingly.

Inside the dark administrative office,

Under a small light.

The night came, holding on to my weakened legs and making up my mind,

I got up from my seat.
