First Incident (3)

“Libya. Say hello.”

I whispered, and Libya slowly turned her head.

It was as if he had finally realized the existence of Baltan.

“Ah yes. Meet the Son of the Empire.”

Libya belatedly greeted with courtesy.

In order to become perfect as an assassin, infiltration must have been essential.

Libya’s etiquette was almost perfect.

Even so, Baltan frowned even more violently from his originally ferocious expression.

“That’s rude.”

Even though Libya’s etiquette was almost perfect, Baltan was stumbled and stumbled.

I even sighed at the feeling that the thoughts of Baltan, the muscular brain, were being read so clearly.

Since I, the Confucius of the Danehart family, can’t openly argue, I’m messing with the people around me who have a low status.

It’s hard to argue with that too, and through the ambiguous ‘property’.

Then, on my side, it becomes ambiguous to argue and ask not to touch my acquaintances carelessly.

“This bitch… are you ignoring me? You should have lowered your head from the start!”

But this guy, didn’t you hear during the entrance ceremony that strength is everything in the academy?

It’s just a façade here.

Libya, on the other hand, seemed to remember the words well.

“senior. I hope we can be in the same group this time!”

He started talking while looking at me as if there was no prince.

I immediately realized Livia’s thoughts and answered with a faint smile.

“The odds are a bit low. In particular, unless the students in the same department are selected twice because the numbers do not match… .”

“But without seniors, I… .”

“I understand your anxiety. Still, you have to persevere.”

I said while tidying Libya’s hair.

And Baltan, who watched the absurd act, finally got angry with his face reddened.

“You guys! What are you doing!”

He must have never been so ignored in a prince’s life.

He was genuinely angry.

“Your Highness, fixed… .”

Baltan’s follower, feeling the unusual atmosphere, tried to dissuade him.

However, the blast was already unstoppable.

Recalling how easily Baltan became resentful in the original story.

An aura began to emanate from Baltan’s body like a haze.

The students who were paying attention to this uneasy situation around them also realized the fact and withdrew in horror.

At this point, the professors who were watching the situation were likely to step out, but they didn’t.

Yes, because the professors were in the middle of ‘evaluation’.

They will have the confidence to intervene any first year battle before they get hurt.

So it’s probably just to see how strong these two freshmen, who are already getting attention, can use.

This academy is always like this.

It will be so in the future.

When the demon king starts his activity, demonic energy spreads and pollutes the air.

Ordinary humans will soon die from the miasma in areas where demonic energy is sprayed.

It means that it is impossible to lead an army against the demon king in the first place.

The warrior candidates chosen by the Constellation were able to act even within the miasma.

However, as the demonic energy deepens, there are those who cannot stand it among the candidates for the hero.

In the end, the warriors had no choice but to fight with a small number of people in the end.

For this reason, the academy that fosters warriors to fight against the demon king has created a trend that values strong ‘individuals’ more than ‘army’.

According to the academy’s trend, YuRia’s words to prove by force were accepted under the acquiescence of the professors.

Professors also condone this kind of quarrel in order to raise that strong student.

“Girl, cut it in moderation so it won’t let you participate in the 3rd evaluation.”

There was no time to further examine the situation.

Baltan was about to strike the first blow with an aura on Libya.

An aura that could cut off magic was no different from a magician’s natural enemy.

Libya was also at risk.

“Libya!”

I pulled Libya towards me.

The first blow of Baltan caused a wind like a gust of wind and passed Libya in a narrow way.

“…?!”

Baltan looked flustered, as if he hadn’t thought that his sword could cut through the air.

That’s because ‘ball magic’ was already operating in this area.

The level of Baltan’s aura was only a beginner level, lower than that of Kayden.

Slowing down the swinging speed of the sword containing the disorganized aura was not even a task.

“Could it be that they’re disrupting it with magic?!”

Still, it seems that he is faster than Kaiden.

It’s not that wizards can’t deal with warriors who use auras.

A high-level wizard has learned a few ways to weaken the aura, even if it doesn’t touch the magic-denying aura itself.

One of them was a method of disrupting the mana around the aura, taking advantage of the fact that even auras eventually use mana.

However, since the efficiency is extremely low and part of the image must be used, it is better to use another method.

“To do such tricks. It’s a fluke anyway. I’ll make sure to cut it next time.”

Baltan roared with rage and readied himself to swing his sword again.

“Have you tried it?”

But it’s ball magic, not the kind of shallow method I use.

They have different efficiencies.

“Senior, should I?”

Libya, who stepped aside from my arms, asked with a smile.

You can tell by looking at those creepy eyes.

kill? he asked.

“no. I’ll do it.”

The balsam is still useful.

It was better to leave him beaten moderately than to kill him.

The moment I raised my magic power and was about to strike.

[Constellation Gaunis fight! fight! Hit that guy right away! say]

Suddenly, a message popped up in front of my eyes.

The fact that Gaunis sent me a message shocked me.

I don’t think there was any case of communicating with the Constellation in this way in the original novel, right?

[Constellation Gaunis says this is a function of Nebula Net.]

Oh, that’s right.

The main character of the original work could not use Sungwoon Net, so he could not receive this message.

‘Does it look noisy? Can’t you turn it off?’

I’ll have to look at the Nebula Net settings later.

[Constellation Gaunis wants you to beat him!]

I still thought so.

Quaggagak!

In any case, I was taken aback by Gaunis’ sudden intrusion, so I missed the opportunity to attack and swiftly dodged Baltan’s attack once more.

‘It’s below the level.’

Baltan’s swordsmanship was strong, but not yet sophisticated.

There must have been a lot of people who helped me with monster hunting, which I often went to.

Baltan was an arrogant kid who mistook it for his own strength.

The important thing is ‘individual’.

“Get into battle seriously!”

Baltan seemed to think that I was not serious when I calmly avoided attacks.

He became more indignant and swung his sword wide.

“I’m already serious.”

More than ever, I was serious.

Hey, this guy didn’t insult me… .

Because I cursed the person who owned me.

Using ball magic to spill the sword of baltan, I dug into the gap of baltan.

I didn’t intend to look at him like he did during Kaiden’s time.

I put my hand on Baltan’s belly and inflated his mana.

Quaang!

With an explosion-like sound, Baltan’s bones broke and his body flew backwards.

I chased those bullets and quickly threw myself away.

“Kuh… . you… !”

As Baltan tried to raise his tattered body for a moment, I stepped on Baltan’s chest with my foot and pressed it roughly to the floor again.

Then he summoned the mightiest sword ever, held it tightly in his hand, and brought it to Baltan’s neck.

The outside was rusty, but when the sharp-edged sword touched his throat, Baltan’s bloody expression hardened.

“You have no manners.”

I smiled at Baltan.

“I mean weak.”

Baltan trembled as if he felt anger and shock that would set him on fire at my words.

However, with my battered body, I couldn’t even shake off the strength of my weak legs.

“damn… . Cool!”

Baltan seemed to want to say something.

However, only blood came out of his mouth as if his internal organs were wounded.

[Constellation Gaunis says it was very exciting! I keep saying it’s very cool.]

[Constellation Gaunis says that this is the hero he chose.]

[But why did you hit my butt?]

Gaunis seemed very happy that I had beaten Baltan.

And the back end was also worth it.

‘Forget about it.’

Gaunis wasn’t the only one who reacted.

“His Highness, Prince Baltan… Is it that easy?”

“I heard that Prince Daneheart was a genius, but I didn’t expect him to be like that!”

“Are you really the same age as us?”

“There are also rumors that he won a duel with the student council president’s assistant the other day… I guess it’s really true.”

“More than that, Your Highness the Prince, isn’t it dangerous? Are you bleeding profusely?”

Thanks to my ability to expand my senses, the sound I heard made me a little embarrassed.

Now, not just the Faculty of Magic, but all the Faculties knew about me.

On the contrary, there were also voices laughing at the prince.

“Isn’t it a lie that you went about hunting monsters like you were eating?”

“I can only emit an aura, but I can’t even wield a sword properly.”

This was especially heard from the Warrior Department.

It must have been because Baltan went around doing things because of his status as a prince in the Warrior Department and his ability to use Auras.

Baltan lowered his face and trembled slightly, probably realizing that the gazes looking at him were not good.

“stop.”

When I turned my head at those words, Roman, a professor at the Faculty of Magic, and a woman were standing there.

The woman was a slender, red-haired beauty, wearing light leather armor and carrying a sword at her waist.

As far as I remember, she was Heyslee, one of the professors in the Department of Warfare.

“Are you doing this? I’ve done enough with my strength. Stop bullying our undergraduate students.”

Heysri said, lifting the tip of my sword lightly with her own sword in the scabbard.

He said that, but his expression didn’t seem to be such a big deal.

I would have expected an injury like this from the start.

“yes.”

I obediently drew the sword.

“It’s just soggy.”

Heys-ri looked at the prince who couldn’t even move properly with irritation and anger and said.

It was quite different from the indifference he had shown me.

Even if you don’t have any ill feelings toward me, you’ll be angry at Baltan for losing miserably to another faculty.

“professor! Come quickly and treat him!”

Hayesri waved at the professor of Divinity Studies and said.

Soon after, Baltan received light emergency treatment and was taken to the infirmary.

In the end, it was over there that I couldn’t participate in the 3rd test.

Roman, on the other hand, was happy that the spirit of the faculty was alive, but he was not happy because it was me, and he had a complicated expression on his face.

“Well… .”

I jumped at Roman before he could say anything.

“Thanks to the professor who taught me the basics well. Thanks to you, I was able to win.”

At my words, Roman’s mouth twitched.

It was an empty word to anyone, but it looked like he was happy when he praised it in front of others.

“For now, consider this a duel under agreement. Baltan attacked first. Still, reflect on it.”

On the subject of being on the sidelines for evaluation from the beginning, he seemed to save face until the end.

Roman ordered the ranks to be regrouped and slowly departed.

“senior.”

“Confucius!”

“Confucius!”

Libya and the saintess sister, who were running toward me, met each other’s eyes.

Livia pulled my arm and hugged me as if she was wary of the two.

“…it’s okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Upon hearing my words, Livia smiled brightly.

“It was great. senior.”

Seeing Livia’s face staring at me as if possessed, I wondered if it was a bit excessive.

“I’m glad you weren’t hurt.”

Elina gave a small smile as she looked at Livia and me.

“I thought it would be fine. You suffered.”

Elin pretended to be indifferent.

However, I had already noticed the gaze that had been carefully examining my body for scars.

However, when Elina spoke, Livia, who did not respond at all, began to stare at Ellin fiercely.

Could this guy have instinctively figured out who has a rational crush on me?

‘scary.’

I gulped.

[Constellation Gaunis rolls over while saying that this relationship is fun.]

This guy needs to hit his ass again later.

“Ah, is this Miss Libya? hello! I heard from Nias! My name is Elina!”

Elina greeted Livia with a bright smile as if she hadn’t grasped the atmosphere.

“yes. hello.”

In Libya’s voice, a reluctant greeting was revealed.

However, for the naturally virtuous Elina, such a barrier was not something she could not overcome.

“This is my sister Elin!”

“Why are you introducing yourself instead?”

“Whoops, I’m sorry. Elin is so unsociable.”

“Is it okay for the saintess of the good god to speak so viciously?”

I let out a small sigh as I listened to the two of them arguing.

‘Are you close with the saintess and sisters? The replacement Daneheart Gongja… .’

It was because I felt the eyes of the people around me again.

‘I didn’t intend to sell my name from the beginning like this.’

Fortunately, the confrontation between Libya and Elin, and Elina’s one-sided chatter, which was close to nature, soon came to an end.

“Everyone go back to their departments! The group draw will begin soon!”

At the instructions of the professors, the saintess and sisters had no choice but to return to the Divinity Faculty.

“I wish we could be in the same group! Confucius!”

“See you later. same… Jomyeon.”

Elina and Elin greeted each other with regret and returned to the ranks of the Divine Faculty.

When Livia and I returned to the ranks of the Faculty of Magic, I could feel people around me secretly watching me.

There were so many things I wanted to ask, but I couldn’t seem to ask them.

“I will start the group draw.”

There was no time to answer questions with the classmates who were overflowing with curiosity anyway.

It was because the group lottery had begun.

Groups consist of a total of five people, and if possible, they are grouped with other departments.

And one of them consists of upperclassmen who play an auxiliary role so that they can safely hunt monsters.

The group draw began with Roman placing his hand on the blood-colored magic crystal.

That crystal, imbued with the magic of fate, was an object that would be seen often when the group was to be formed.

“I want to be in the same group as my seniors! I want to be in the same group as you!”

Livia held my hand tightly and repeated the same words like a spell.

[Constellation Gaunis hugs the pillow with his heart pounding.]

And that was the moment.

Tring!

[The blessing of ‘Blessing of the Thread of Fate’ is activated. Blessings lead you to good luck.]

[‘Blessing of the Thread of Fate’ forcefully activates the ‘Luck’ blessing.]

Blessings have been activated.
