78 – Exchange Meeting (5)

The tournament was successfully held.

numerous spectators.

Enthusiasm of the participants.

The more the tournament progressed under the hot cheer, the louder the crowd, and the narrower and narrower gates of the finals seduced countless participants.

The heat of the betting area also played a part in igniting the fire.

The departure of Leon, who was a strong candidate for the championship.

not that he abstained,

With the decision of the management of the exchange meeting, he became a judge and the bets on all events changed 180 degrees.

“What, Sir Leon is not participating?”

“Then, the odds change from the preliminaries?”

“How does this work?”

embarrassing people.

However, as always in this battle of odds, the more chaotic the hall was, the hotter his heat soared.

The flower of betting, the final, was in the limelight again.

“So who do you think will come up?”

“Without Sir Leon… … Wouldn’t one of the two, Clayton from the Dark Empire or Hayden from the Principality of the West, come up?”

However, betting on their finals was again meaningless due to sudden circumstances.

“Leon-sama… … Isn’t it?”

Saint, Excelion Ruthfield.

She tilted her head as she looked at the person across from her.

“Why is my opponent not Leon-sama?”

“Sir Leon has been appointed as a judge.”

“I am the judge… … ?”

She turned and looked at the judges’ table.

A red-haired man looking down on the stage while sitting next to a blond giant.

The woman’s cross-shaped pupil was charred.

“… … .”

The saintess who made it to the finals couldn’t hide her disappointment at the fact that her opponent was not Leon.

“I would like to abstain.”

“Yes? Are you saying you’re going to abstain?”

“yes.”

“It’s the finals… … .”

A restless social worker.

“Whether it’s the finals or whatever, if my opponent isn’t Leon-sama, it means nothing.”

However, the woman turned her back and went back to the waiting room as if she had no intention of reversing.

“… … ?”

“what? What happened?”

“Are you abstaining? In the finals?”

“What did the Holy Church say?”

“I don’t know. I have nothing to say.”

Not in the preliminaries, but in the finals, especially in the finals, when the withdrawal came out, the expressions of the people watching became dumbfounded.

It was the same for the man who took the place of Leon in the finals.

Clayton, a knight representing the Imperial Academy of the Dark Empire.

He was so weak that a saintess would steal at the click of a finger, but

Fortunately, she withdrew as if she had no interest in future tournaments.

A man who suddenly became a winner.

And Leon, who only knew how to sit in the judges’ seat throughout the tournament,

He had never dreamed that he would stand in the center of the grand banquet because of the saint he had bet on.

“…”

The winner, who had regained consciousness, turned his head and glared at the red-haired young man in the bleachers.

“As far as I know, the winner of the tournament can point out one of the sword masters who participated in the exchange meeting and receive guidance!”

Dean of Knights of the Academy of Prüch,

Ferdinand nodded.

“Yes.”

“Can I nominate you right now?”

To that question, the middle-aged man glanced at the young man sitting right next to him and answered.

“It doesn’t matter. Who will you nominate?”

“Sir Leon! Right now, I want to learn a lesson from Sir Leon!”

“… … Are you okay?”

“I am okay! I just want to attach a condition!”

This time, Leon opened his mouth and asked again.

“Condition?”

“Yes! I would like to request a sparring in which each other uses only sword skills without using mana!”

‘It’s obvious.’

It’s clear what he meant by what he said.

However, there was a chance that he might have been mistaken, so the young man dared to open his mouth to understand his exact intentions.

“Do you think you can beat me if you practice pure swordsmanship?”

“It’s not like that, but I think it’s worth a try.”

clear eyes.

The anger that blazes in it,

Clearly, political intentions were mixed.

‘Is it Duke Jeffrey?’

Perhaps, on the way here, to the Prüch Academy, you’ve heard stories about me that made your ears tingle.

It’s obvious if you don’t look.

Because I was the only human who could be said to be the main enemy of the Dark Empire.

It would be funny if I rejected his offer here.

However, even if he accepted the offer and won, there was no great income.

“good.”

Nonetheless, young

Leon nodded in agreement.

“I will accept that offer.”

The man jumped up from his seat and threw himself into the middle of the gymnasium.

The eyes of the onlookers widened at the modest action.

Clayton’s expression also hardened slightly at the sight of the other person appearing in an instant as if he had been there from the beginning.

In contrast, a red-haired young man with a nonchalant face asked while looking at the knight from the Dark Empire.

“Does the Dark Empire raise knights?”

“Sure. Even after all this, our Imperial Academy… … .”

“but. When we got together, there was nothing special about the wizard.”

“… … yes?”

“It’s a sorcery empire from the name, but since the wizards aren’t very good at it, shouldn’t we raise knights well?”

The audience couldn’t hear it because it was a low voice, but it was clearly heard in Clayton’s ears as he challenged Leon.

“… … Are you insulting the Empire?”

“That one. I said pure swordsmanship, but… … In the end, you just want to disgrace me. is not it?”

“That is not true. I just want to have an honest sword conversation with you.”

“Do you think you deserve it?”

“I think I am qualified. Because I am the winner of this exchange meeting tournament.”

“How is it? Even if I hadn’t been promoted to judge in the first place, there was absolutely no chance that you would win.”

“… … .”

The knight of the Dark Empire didn’t answer anymore.

He took out the silver sword from his waist and glared at Leon.

Seeing those eyes, the young man shook his head and took out the magic sword from his waist.

A blade that catches the sun and scatters dazzling black light.

The red-haired young man who was examining it opened his mouth while holding a demonic sword.

“I won’t use even the slightest bit of magic as I wish.”

“You will regret that choice! Taat!”

Eventually, the man with the sword drew his body and threw himself at Leon.

Still, Clayton’s swordsmanship was well-polished, as if it wasn’t his form that defeated the outstanding rivals in the Knights Division.

It’s good enough to say that it’s not the sorcery empire, but the son of a famous swordsman.

But for Leon, it was nothing special about swordsmanship.

Clayton, who gathered his sword as if to give it an anomaly, quickly swung it.

‘It will come flying from the right side.’

As expected, I struck the sword flying from the right at the right timing.

Even though he applied little force, when he hit the center of the sword accurately, Clayton’s sword bounced back in vain.

“… … !”

The young knight opened his eyes wide in surprise.

However, as if the end wasn’t over, the man seized the opposite sex and continued to use the fastest swordsmanship he could.

‘Left, and diagonally down.’

Chaeng, Chaeng!

I have already read all of the young man’s sword path.

Clayton gritted his teeth and swung his sword, but his face turned white as time passed.

“Uh, how… … ?”

Eyes shaking in disbelief.

Judging by the shaking of his hands, he seems to have been quite shocked.

It was the same for the spectators watching the couple fight.

“Autoguard… … ?”

“As expected, the young Swordsman is different, isn’t it?”

“There are not many people who can write that… … .”

Of course, it wasn’t like an auto guard, it just deflected all the swords in sight.

However, the eyes of the spectators who saw this for the first time were filled with amazement.

The students of Prüch Academy, who had seen Leon’s sparring, were surprised to see it again.

Students of foreign academies who are seeing them for the first time are bound to be even more surprised.

But the surprise didn’t end there.

“Then, let me go from now on.”

In an instant, Leon’s mood changed.

His red hair fluttered in the air, and the man swung his sword from left to right as he flung his body so fast that not even an afterimage remained.

“This… … !”

The swordsmanship that Clayton used earlier.

It reproduces it as it is.

The feeling of being deprived of the family’s secret swordsmanship.

creepy… … .

The young knight gritted his teeth at that unpleasant feeling, but couldn’t say anything.

Because Leon’s own swordsmanship was more perfect.

It was because it seemed to show the extreme he was trying to reach.

“Pure swordsmanship… … Are you saying he was a genius?”

A faint light of despair shone in Clayton’s eyes.

At that word, Leon shook his head and said.

“Don’t try to cover up your own inadequacies by calling others geniuses. If you lost to me in the end, it means that your skills are not enough.”

“that… … .”

“Still, don’t praise your spirit. Because you were much better than Duke Geoffrey, who was cowardly attacking.”

“… … .”

“Because of that… … If I leave you baring your teeth at me, I will be treated like a hukou.”

Leon quickly moved his demonic sword and slashed the sword he was holding.

Chaeng, Chaeng-.

Then, the sword flew powerlessly and fell to the floor of the gymnasium, spewing thin blades.

The young man strode right in front of the young knight, and immediately raised one leg behind him.

It’s like trying to hit a soccer kick.

“… … no way?”

“That child, that again… … !”

The faces of the seniors from the Faculty of Engineering at the Fruhi Academy turned pale.

Seeing that, the man tilts his head.

“What are you going to do now… … .”

“It’s a rule, and what to do, you have to do it.”

At the same time as he finished his words, Leon’s calf was swung like lightning into Clayton’s groin.

Clink!

“Kuaaagh,”

With the sound of glass breaking, the young knight grabbed his groin and started rolling on the floor.

Rules against using violence in map sparring?

‘whatever?’

All enemies who had ever challenged him with malice became eunuchs.

This young man too

I just became one of them.

“okay. It is this feeling.”

Leon stands triumphantly with a refreshing expression.

“ha… … .”

Ferdinand, looking down at him,

He raised his hands and cupped his face.

“I did it again…”
