I Became the Golden Sun That Steals the Academy’s Aircraft

045. Competition

Demaia Academy’s competition was one of the most important academic events for the academy. While the comprehensive evaluation was a place to objectively evaluate the overall abilities of the cadets, the competitive match was a place to share the level of skill among the cadets.

Competitive matches held as tournaments for each grade were festivals and competitions held aboard the Giant God Soldier. A large number of famous people, including famous nobles, scholars, and knights, from all over the empire attended, and the royal family also made sure to attend.

There is only one reason they gather here.

It was to increase the power of the family or increase the power of the force by scouting unaffiliated commoner cadets or cadets from fallen nobles.

Even at Demeia Academy, where all the talented people of the empire gathered, it was the competition that could determine the best of all. It made no sense for celebrities from the empire not to come to a competitive match where they could see such gems in advance.

Of course, there were nobles who came for the sake of their family’s prestige, but that was a secondary reason.

The current situation on the continent was a very confusing time. With the advent of the Giant God Soldier, the aspect of war changed 180 degrees from before. Better Knights The need for more troops has not changed, but the era has come when knights who can control giant soldiers especially well are in the spotlight.

In existing wars, if one excellent knight could match 100 soldiers, then one excellent knight of the Colossus could match 1,000 or 10,000 soldiers.

That’s how much the Giant God Soldier was an indispensable weapon in the wars of the modern continent, and the era came when giant warrior knights who could handle the weapon more skillfully were preferred.

In this situation, the competitive battle, in which prospective giant knights who would lead the future gather in one place and compete against each other, was one of the events that you must participate in if you pride yourself on being the biggest star on the continent. Complacency leads to weeding out, and weeding out meant downfall.

When the competition schedule came out, the cadets listened to lectures more enthusiastically than usual and focused on personal training. It was natural to want to show off at a time when the eyes of the empire were gathered in one place.

In particular, commoner cadets without a support base or cadets from fallen aristocrats were more passionate than others. This was because he judged it to be a golden opportunity to increase his value.

If you receive the support of a powerful noble family or a huge power, a future that cannot be compared to your past life may await you.

But in order to do that, I had to stand up and step on the classmates I had been close to. There were enemies everywhere, and something that had to be guarded against.

No matter how good the score was in the comprehensive evaluation, there was no guarantee that one would achieve excellent results in the competitive match.

The cadets’ tension only increased day by day because countless variables had to be taken into account, including competition strategy, analysis of the opponent, actual combat ability, and even the day’s condition.

If we had to pick the person who was the most wary of them all, it was, of course, Gilbert.

At the beginning of his admission, there were only rumors about him and many people said that his abilities were mediocre, but that wasn’t the case now.

It didn’t make sense to see him as just a poor bastard who had already been awarded a knighthood. Regardless of his personality, his skills were recognized by the empire as the real thing.

So, it was natural that all kinds of checks were pouring in. Not only personal training but also private time was followed by surveillance. The cadets’ persistence in finding his weaknesses went beyond the limit, as if every single thing was subject to analysis.

Fortunately, Gilbert, who was indifferent to such gazes, completely ignored the cadets and just quietly did what he had to do. This was because he felt that performing moderately well in competitive matches was enough.

Receiving an unexpected knighthood was enough to prove the opportunity the Count of Lithuania had spoken of.

He completed the award of knighthood, his most honorable work on the continent, while still a new cadet, a situation he could not help but acknowledge, no matter how much he was the Margrave of Iron Blood.

Rather, he was thinking of giving up the main story, the competitive battle, to Ian. Considering the main story after the competition, it was a good decision to save myself at this point.

He attracted so much attention simply by being knighted that he had to do it, even though he didn’t know how effective it would be.

“Gilbert. You have a lot of idle thoughts. It seems to mean that training with me is boring.”

Gilbert suddenly came to his senses after hearing Professor Brianna’s cold words. As he was thinking about the next main story, his posture seemed to be disturbed.

Professor Brianna in front of her seemed to have little change in her expression, but seeing the corners of her eyes slightly raised, she could tell that she was upset.

“I’m sorry. It’s been hard for me to concentrate lately, so I guess I’m distracted.”

“Hmm. Be careful. I admit that your winter sword is superior compared to your training period, but there is still a long way to go.”

“I understand, Master.”

“Then, focus again.”

First, let’s do what we have to do.

Brianna smiled inwardly in satisfaction at the sight of Gilbert erasing all her random thoughts.

It may seem like there is no recognition on the outside, but in reality, it wasn’t like that. She was so successful on the battlefield that the reason she came to her academy was to train her younger students.

After wandering around the battlefield for a long time, she saw many people who had passed away at a young age. Among them, there were people whose growth stopped because they missed the right time, and there were people who did not even bloom because they did not receive proper education.

Brianna left the battlefield and came here to Demeia Academy in the hope that there would be fewer such pitiful people.

Her life changed from the moment she came to Idemia Academy. She felt like her life was fuller, unlike when she was dealing with enemies on the battlefield. It was great to see someone with such great talent blooming into her abilities, and it was also rewarding to see her cadet, who was somewhat lacking in talent, but overcame it all with her hard work and perseverance.

She, who was called the Blue Reaper by her enemies, is now Professor Brianna at the Academy.

This is the second exclusive student she took on while working as a teacher.

As talented as her first disciple, Serafina, he became a new stimulus for her Brianna as well.

Although she said she had bad rumors about him, the second student she had seen so far was different from her rumors. She always took her classes seriously, and even when her classes were over, she never stopped self-discipline.

Sometimes, when I went to the training room to watch the cadets train, Gilbert was always there until the end.

Even when he was awarded the title of knight, he did not stop his training. Even though Brianna had amazing talent, Gilbert was not cocky, and she was proud of him.

Although she was not good at expressing her feelings and speaking, Gilbert was now her proud second student.

The two’s training ended around the time the sun rose in the morning.

Gilbert, who had been moving so vigorously that his clothes were soaked with sweat, collapsed into his seat as soon as he heard the end of his class. As a nobleman, it is an unclassy act, but if his sparring partner is Brianna, the story is different.

When discussing the best when it comes to swords, the one thing that always comes up is Brianna in front of her. Even if he had her monstrous physical stats, it was impossible to beat her at the moment.

Even if you ride a giant god soldier, your odds of winning are 50/50. If it were a game, I wouldn’t know what to do with the characteristic skill buffs, but the current characteristic skill was a slightly flawed skill.

Taking away a giant soldier that someone else had officially signed a contract with, regardless of whether it was possible or not, this was an act that was implicitly taboo. It’s like a kind of courtesy that should not be violated unless the situation becomes war.

However, if I had a platform where I could use my characteristic skills, I might have cleared the next main story more easily than before. The name of the characteristic skill he set, ‘Your Aircraft is Amazing’, is just funny, and as the risk is high, the return is also big.

The exhilaration I felt when I rode the Giant God Soldier, which was officially contracted to Ian at the time of the comprehensive evaluation, cannot be expressed in words. Perhaps, if I used that skill well, I could complete the next main quest, which was only theoretically possible, without any problems.

Can I do it?

Gilbert looked with sunken eyes at Brianna, who was stretching in front of him to complete her training.

Her long red hair seemed to stand out especially as the morning sunlight penetrated it.

Like blood.
