Chapter 314
friday.
Today there is the Miss Temple Contest and Unlimited Weight Tournament Finals.
Olivia Ranze must be very busy as both have to attend. The Royal Class first-years seemed to have little interest in the unlimited level tournament starting from the semifinals as their classmates were no longer participating.
The three of them, Ellen, Liana and Cliffman, seemed busy preparing for the contest.
However, Ellen met me in the morning and looked at me quietly.
“today… … .”
I know what to say.
“Aren’t you going?”
“… … huh.”
Ellen also watched all of my tournament matches. Of course, even if that’s not the case, there’s no reason not to go to the Miss Temple contest today.
Even with a revision, I made only Cliff into Mr. Temple, and I still don’t know what to do with Miss Temple.
There’s no reason I won’t go to the contest. Ellen looks hesitant, but she looks at me with a determined expression, as if she’s determined.
“… … Please come.”
“Yes, well prepared.”
“huh.”
After the contest, do you have something to say?
It was a look that made me feel that way.
Ellen left those words and went somewhere with Riana to get ready.
It seems that the other guys are going to enjoy the festival on their own, but I decided to go alone during the week.
without anyone accompany them.
Now, away from the attention of his classmates, he decided to go see the finals of the no-limits tournament. Of course, there will be some guys out there who will go see it, but I’m thinking of going alone.
There were many things I felt sorry for Olivia. She always takes care of me and does anything for me, but she always treats me badly. She openly cheered for Harriet yesterday.
Just because you’re good at anything doesn’t mean you’re steadfast in anything.
I don’t know if there are guys who go to the finals separately, but I was thinking of going to the unrestricted tournament finals without going with anyone.
Considering that it is a game that starts with the quarterfinals, the third round is the end. So, even if you didn’t sit for a long time and even watched the finals, the time was bound to be quite short.
-Wowaaaaa!
The cheers of the people were great.
It didn’t change the fact that Harriet lost.
However, just because the results were the same as my thoughts did not mean that the process was also similar to my thoughts.
Just like my tournament had its own set of twists and turns, the Unlimited Tournament had a few twists and turns.
Olivia has conceded only one set so far, and that was the one Harriot took.
I was waiting for the game to start when I heard someone calling me from behind.
“Reinhardt, did you come to see the finals too?”
“Oh, Charlotte.”
It was Charlotte.
Even if you watch it alone, the area is designated, so if someone comes, you have no choice but to run into it.
By the way, do you think Charlotte has any reason to watch the finals?
The reason was behind it.
“Is the teacher here too?”
“okay.”
Apparently, this was because she wanted to see Saviolin Tana, not Charlotte. I can’t fall from Charlotte’s side, but I must have wanted to see the finals.
Charlotte isn’t stupid either, so she must have read Tana’s attitude and said let’s go see the finals.
“If you’re going, say go. Why did you come alone?”
“Oh, just.”
“okay?”
I thought it would be better to watch it alone rather than bring someone along, but I didn’t intend to move and do that just because I ran into it.
Naturally, Charlotte and Saviolin Tana sat next to me.
Charlotte looked around and crossed her arms.
“Hmm.”
“why?”
“uh? no… … .”
This area is a VIP seat exclusively for the Royal Class.
That said, there are other VIP seats as well.
Just now, Charlotte was looking at the VIP seats for VIPs.
“Sir Bolton is there.”
“Boelton?”
As I tilted my head, Saviolin Tana looked at me.
“Didn’t we say hello at the last support meeting?”
“When is the support party?”
There should be one or two names that were forgotten after saying hello at the sponsorship meeting. Bolton? Who is it?
‘hmm.’
‘Hey, your memory isn’t good.’
It took a while to feel that thought pass through Saviolin Tana’s eyes.
“Sir Ileion Boelton, the current Commander of the Knights Templar.”
“ah.”
That’s right.
That’s a name I’ve really heard of. After the dismissal of Lebarrier Ranze, the newly inaugurated Commander of the Knights Templar, Ileion Boelton.
I didn’t know what kind of person he was, and I completely forgot about him because he didn’t sponsor me.
Charlotte gave a subtle smile.
“I was looking for it to see if it came yesterday, but it wasn’t there. But today it came. Still, this is the final.”
“… … Do you think Olivia would hate to see her win?”
“hmm… … . I’m not sure what Lord Bolton thinks. It would just be a sight to see.”
How would the current head of the Knights Templar feel to see a talented person who was promising as the next influential religious leader give up his faith and win the tournament without divine power?
It’s obviously not going to be good. When I remembered the name, I could recognize the face.
It was different from Lebarrier Ranche, but it gave off a solemn and stubborn look. Of course, they were not wearing knights armor, but they were wearing formal clothes, and those around them who seemed to be close aides, who must have been paladins as well, were staring at the arena.
Saviolin Tana, who had been quietly listening to our conversation, tilted her head.
“Rather than how Olivia is, she might be rooting for the other side.”
“The other side?”
“Don’t you know the semifinalists?”
“I don’t remember anything except for Olivia senior.”
Charlotte laughed bashfully, as if she didn’t even remember anything that had nothing to do with her.
“Among the finalists, there is a student who is certain to join the Knights Templar after graduation.”
“ah… … . is it so?”
“It might be something you want to beat Olivia.”
It was inevitable that Olivia gave up her faith.
So, the next Templar can hope to take victory from Olivia, who doesn’t even use holy power.
Certainly, there were quite a few who seemed to be aspiring paladins among the unlimited tournament participants. Most of them were people with skills that could not be ignored.
Royal Class 6th A-3 Jordan Windsor.
Royal Class 6th Grade B-2 Radia Schmidt.
Lydia Schmidt.
Who was wondering what Olivia and I were talking about.
The person looks good, but the person who felt something strange.
It was a tremendous skill that used divine power with magical power enhancement.
by the way.
Because Olivia also kneeled for a year, Lydia Schmidt and Olivia must have been friends for a long time in the Temple life.
Is it because of Olivia’s betrayal of her faith that she has bad feelings for each other or something?
If it was Lydia Schmidt joining the Templars, there was a good chance she was jealous of Olivia.
It would have been a comparison target in many ways. Ladia Schmidt’s skills are great too, but she couldn’t beat Olivia after all.
I would have seen Lydia Schmidt once if she belonged to Grace, but my first meeting with her was a brief conversation in front of the dormitory the other day.
If someone who was the perfect match for my talents was always on top of me, that would have been painful.
While we were talking about this and that, the moderator slowly began to conduct the contest.
-Royal class 5th grader who has recorded only 1 point in the set so far! This is Olivia Ranze!
Olivia is teleported to the arena with people cheering.
Despite the slight accident yesterday, Olivia had regained her relaxed smile.
But the thing that changed a little was that Olivia, who had fought with her bare fists until now, was holding a sword this time.
From the semi-finals onwards, there is no need to embrace penalties. Or did he decide that if he was careless like yesterday, he could give up a set absurdly.
The semi-finalists were two 6th graders from the Royal Class and 5th graders from Orbis Class.
All of the Royal Classes were finalists of Temple High School.
Olivia Ranze’s opponent in the quarterfinals was from Orbis Class 5. Melann Benier.
The Orbis class disappeared right before graduation, so it must be heartbreaking.
The Orbis class was the cradle of revolutionary forces, and most of the students and teachers involved dropped out or quit teaching.
Those who remain must be those who have not been captured, or those who have been captured but have decided to remain in the Temple.
revolutionary forces.
It gives me a headache every time I think about it.
Aside from my concerns, the first match of the semifinals soon began.
The course didn’t matter that much.
3:0
It was a complete victory for Olivia Ranze.
* * *
I wonder if Olivia had at least a chance because Harriet used magic instead. Or is it because Olivia with her sword is that much stronger.
The opponent seemed to struggle, but Olivia’s opponent could not be at all.
Most of all, the opponent seemed to be resentful, but it didn’t look so defeated as if he knew that the result would turn out like this.
The next match of the quarterfinals.
Royal Class 6th A-3 Jordan Windsor.
Royal Class 6th Grade B-2 Radia Schmidt.
Of course, those who have reached the quarterfinals have no problem with their skills. I saw the match between Lydia Schmidt and Jordan Windsor.
Radia Schmidt tends to lose with a double buff, and Jordan Windsor has excellent skills despite not being able to use divine power.
Of course, they were great players that I couldn’t even deal with at my current level, and even if Harriet dealt with them, I wouldn’t have been able to predict victory.
Olivia is too much of a monster, and the other royal class upperclassmen are also monsters.
The selected talented people honed their skills for six years. So, even though there is an out-of-standard monster named Olivia, they are monsters as well.
Talent is not something you run away from.
To put it bluntly, no matter how much Erhi is redundant now, there is no law that he will be redundant six years from now. Since he seems to be working hard these days, there is a possibility that he will awaken his magic power after 3 years, and after 3 more years from there, there is a possibility that he will become a monster who advances to unlimited level tournaments.
Olivia Ranze was originally a classmate of 6th graders, and with the exception of the 5th graders who went out to serve in the Pandemonium War, she must have been living with them all the time.
So, in reality, he would be closer to the 6th graders.
Classmates of the same royal class face each other in the finals of the Unlimited Class Tournament.
I thought it would be a pretty strange and fun experience.
If it hadn’t been for the gate crisis, I wondered if it would be like me and Ellen facing off in the finals of an unrestricted tournament when the grade goes up a bit.
… … But, maybe.
Even if I made it to the finals, thinking of myself losing to Ellen I met in the finals… … .
To be honest, I didn’t feel that bad.
The second match of the semi-finals, contrary to what I hadn’t thought about, was quite exciting.
-Good luck, Ladia.
-Please take care of me too.
The two greeted each other with a smile, wondering if their relationship wasn’t that bad. Even though the classes are different, the two of them seemed to be friendly, perhaps because the time spent was long.
But that’s for a while.
Both of their expressions hardened.
As if wondering where the friendly atmosphere went, the search battle between the two begins.
Orbis class 5th grader Melann Vennier, who was just beaten by Olivia, must be a much better player than I am.
In addition, the two fighting now are 6th graders of Temple.
This is the last time we will face each other in a place like this, like a tournament.
Regardless of how the two usually get along, this is the last time they compete against each other on a special battlefield of this kind.
So we have to be sincere with each other.
– Ugh!
Blue magic wrapped around Jordan Windsor’s body. It didn’t feel like an explosively rising flame like Ellen’s.
That’s the exact opposite.
It feels like they put all their efforts into operational stability.
Compressed and refined, there seems to be no unnecessary use of magic power, and it feels like a well-forged blade.
size is not weak.
It is a method of using only the necessary amount of power where necessary through extremely efficient magical power enhancement. Perhaps what Ellen and I should learn the most from now on is to strengthen magical powers in the same way as Jordan Windsor.
The case of Lydia Schmidt was a little different.
She suddenly plunged her sword into the arena floor.
– Knock!
A metal sword penetrated the stone floor, and white solid lines rose from the floor and began to wrap around the sword.
The white light that wrapped around the sword soon began to wrap around her own body as well.
And that wasn’t all.
Radia’s body was flowing with blue magic as well as white light.
It strengthens the body with divine power, and also supports magical power enhancement.
A way to add strength to strength.
It’s not something I’m capable of autosuggestion, but that double reinforcement is absurd. Saviolin Tana looks at the scene and speaks calmly.
“The divine power of Ars, the god of war… … .”
I had already seen Ladia Schmidt’s match, so I knew that she used Ars’ divine power.
“In Als’ divine power… … . Nothing important.”
“yes.”
That’s the part I know.
Ars, god of war.
“Instead of not being able to use the power of recovery, the divine power that focused everything on the attack… … .”
Tuan’s power is not limited to healing, but most divine powers can use the power of healing to some extent.
However, the priests of Ars, the god of war, cannot use the power of healing.
A power that specializes solely in destroying and crushing.
A power of destruction specialized in slaughter and slaughter.
That is the divine power of the god of war.
Radia Schmidt, who had absorbed enough of the divine power that sprang from the earth, drew out a sword with a white halo and stared at the opponent with blue and white light on her body.
-Goes.
-okay.
They are not the ranks of superhumans, but among superhumans, they are among the most talented.
Two monsters that can be called the essence of the royal class collide.
– Kwak!
Swords clashed against each other, but I could see shockwaves that seemed to distort the air.
As long as there was a level of confrontation, it was clear that the weapons provided were powerful artifact-class weapons that could withstand any fight.
Therefore, from now on, it was a true battle of superhumans.
* * *
The second match of the semifinals was won by Class B’s Radia Schmidt. The set score is 3:1.
Jordan Windsor was superior in terms of magical power enhancement, but Radia Schmidt was able to use Ars’ divine power.
That was the biggest difference.
The sacred power that was focused on the power of destruction made me shudder when I saw it. Jordan Windsor was defeated by Radia Schmidt, who was supported by divine power.
There is no change in the number of people between A and B classes, so it is common for class B to overtake class A.
But seeing it with my own eyes, it’s kind of like that.
A defeated Jordan Windsor could be seen gritting his teeth.
No matter what their usual relationship was, in the end, they lost due to a decisive big difference in training with all their might throughout their temple life.
Accepting defeat is difficult for anyone.
I didn’t really empathize with either of them. Because if I could do that, it was Olivia today.
Of course, unlike me, the audience seemed to be satisfied enough in terms of providing something to see, since there was no object to be moved in the first place.
But, is this something Olivia can win?
Olivia can’t use her divine power, and Radia Schmidt can do her best.
What is the relationship between Lydia Schmidt and Olivia?
If Ladia Schmidt had been jealous of Olivia all her life at the Temple, she would have wanted to defeat her with all her might.
With little time left, the finals were right around the corner.
After all, it is a match between classmates.
Olivia Ranze, who was number A-1.
and B-3 Radia Schmidt.
The spectacle of the final was a little different from what I expected.
Olivia’s expression, which had always had a relaxed smile, hardened, and Lydia Schmidt was smiling.
– Olivia.
-… … huh.
The atmosphere between the two was cheap.
Before the game, when talking to Jordan Windsor, the normal eyes and smile of Radia Schmidt felt a bit different.
Lydia Schmidt.
There was something like madness in her eyes.
-The divinity I feel in you is stronger than before.
-… … .
-Come back to the arms of God, Olivia, you were born for. It is made that way so that it cannot live outside of God’s arms.
-Ladia, I… … .
-Come back. Olivia.
It wasn’t the jealousy or inferiority I expected.
Lydia Schmidt had completely different feelings for Olivia.
-I told you. gave up on everything continue… … . You kept saying… … .
– No, Olivia. Your divine power, your talent, your character, everything. You are the only one who can truly unite the five main religions into one. You are the only person who can make a point in this long history of faith and move it into the next era.
Lydia Schmidt laughs and says to Olivia.
Olivia controls Tuan’s divine power, and Radia Schmidt controls Ars’ divine power.
Even if they are the same five major gods, they are different beliefs.
Still, Radia Schmidt was trying to bring Olivia back to her faith. Olivia could see her embarrassment.
-Come back, Olivia.
-I’m sorry, Ladia. I have no intention of going back
Only then did I realize that I hadn’t known the specifics of Olia’s temple life.
Just as Leverrier Ranze didn’t want to miss Olivia’s talent.
A lot of people were missing Olivia, and of course there were classmates who were inspired by Olivia.
I’ve been hearing stories like that ever since I gave up my faith. It must have been heard not only from religious officials, but also from numerous classmates with whom he had been close.
Those who got along well when they maintained their faith must have tried to convince Olivia to change their mind when she gave up her faith.
Olivia must be tired of it.
In the end, contrary to my expectations, Ladia Schmidt wasn’t jealous of Olivia Ranze, but rather was one of her ardent admirers.
“What are you talking about?”
As Saviolin Tanna and I focused on the two in the distance, Charlotte asked Saviolin Tanna.
“… … I am convincing Olivia to take her faith back.”
“ah… … .”
Charlotte sighed.
“You must be tired, that senpai too.”
“… … .”
Olivia’s exhaustion, close to despair, was evident.
You know that you will suffer from this for the rest of your life.
Olivia was suffering from more than I thought.
– I have only one answer, Ladia. I have no intention of returning to God’s arms.
At Olivia’s words, Ladia closed her eyes for a moment.
-I see… … . Be prepared, then.
-… … Resolution?
-okay. Resolution.
Radia Schmidt once again plunged her sword into the arena floor.
– Willingness to endure sad things.
– Kagak!
Lydia Schmidt didn’t look evil. I was feeling anxious for no reason. Even when he briefly talked to me, he was smiling kindly.
But Lydia Schmidt, who was talking to Olivia, was a strange person herself.
The expression of Radia Schmidt, whose smile had disappeared, read a different feeling from the semifinal match.
madness and obsession.
-Everything that will happen from now on is God’s will to lead you who have lost your way to the right path.
– Whoa!
The divine power that soared from the floor of the arena enveloped Radia Schmidt.
