Chapter 234
Stella Binoche was in an indescribable panic right now.
‘Ugh. I got angry there… … .’
The current situation has come to this point, it is purely Stella’s fault.
Stella said, ‘He’s as strong as his mother!’ If I hadn’t brought up the word, this place would not have been created.
‘But my mother ignores Ruan-sama too much… … .’
Of course, Stella didn’t just talk about Shin Ha-yul.
As long as the goal is to attract Shin Ha-yul as a member of the family, he would have said it someday, but at least it wasn’t something he would say today.
As much as Shin Ha-yul is trying to hide his information, in order to gain his trust and embrace him, he must not go anywhere to boast about his information.
That’s why Stella had no intention of telling her mother about Shin Ha-yul.
At least after he gets a temporary instructor’s card, let’s talk about it when more information about him is known.
That’s how I made up my mind.
‘No, more than that, where did your mother hear about the test?’
But what is this?
Se-in already knew about Shin Ha-yul.
No, rather than saying that he knew about Shin Ha-yul, it would be more accurate to say that he knew that Stella had guaranteed the identity of an unknown knight and arranged a test seat for issuing a temporary instructor’s card.
‘I’m not the kind of person who would be able to find out even such trivial incidents. Who the hell said that?’
I’m not going to be a butler.
Did someone among the civil servants who accepted the exam report to the public because they were worried about Shin Ha-yul’s activity history?
‘Chi. I don’t know who it is, but if you get caught, you’ll die.’
He gritted his teeth while recalling the unknown being who reported this incident to Sein.
‘If it wasn’t for him, my mother wouldn’t have looked down on him as a half-penny, a cheater. I didn’t even have to say anything like that because I was angry there. Then this wouldn’t have happened. It’s all his fault.’
It was a situation where the person who made the report would hit his forehead if he heard it.
On the other hand, I reported it because I was worried about Stella, but I was getting a grudge.
‘no way. I don’t know. It was a fact that would be known in the near future anyway.’
nangjungjichu.
A great person will reveal itself one day.
Come to think of it, Shin Ha-yul didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding his power.
There won’t be any trust issues.
… … maybe.
‘Mr. So why did my mother say that?’
half a penny. fraud. A nerd full of lies. and so on.
There are so many derogatory titles used by the people with the intention of ignoring the divine law.
After hearing it, Stella couldn’t stand it and said in a fit of anger, ‘He’s as strong as her mother!’
‘… … ah. I’m embarrassed.’
Thinking about it now, I was very young.
You can just do that and move on.
To say that I heard a bit of swearing at him, immediately get angry and shout like a child.
‘Was I this emotional?’
It’s not.
Even so, it is a body that is even called the ice queen.
I am confident in controlling my emotions. In fact, he has never done anything out of anger until now.
‘Then why… … .’
But why are you so angry today? Even thinking about it again, I couldn’t understand it.
‘Is it because the benefactor who helped me was ignored?’
Probably like that.
Because no one would tolerate being insulted by a benefactor who helped them.
Stella has come to its own conclusion.
‘Anyway, I’m sorry to Ruan-nim… … .’
Stella looked at the exam hall with a rather calm expression and sharp eyes.
‘If you think about it carefully, this situation. not bad. It’s rather good for me.’
Sein is smiling with an expression that says the world is fun.
And Shin Ha-yul frowned as if he couldn’t understand the current situation.
‘To be able to see the battle between those two so quickly.’
In Stella’s opinion, a sparring between the two strongest knights.
How lucky I am to be able to see it right in front of my nose.
Stella’s heart raced with excitement.
“okay. When are you going to explain this situation?”
At that time, the woman who kept watching the situation from the side spoke up.
Lillian Stewart.
Adela’s mother.
She stared at Stella with a grin on her face.
It was a pretty scary smile.
“During the tea party, I wonder if you should think about us who were brought here for nothing.”
“Oh, sorry, sorry.”
As someone who had been brought here without knowing anything, it was a natural reaction.
It must have been a tea party up until two hours ago.
I happened to see the battle of the knights here.
I don’t even know the story behind this incident.
This is bound to make me annoyed.
“To put it simply… … .”
Stella hurriedly began to explain the current situation.
The Stewart family is an honored guest.
It is not known what kind of aftershocks will arise if such a guest is treated carelessly.
‘Why did Mother bring these two people… … .’
As Stella explained, she also glanced at Adela Stewart, who was sitting next to her.
Even thinking about it again, it was incomprehensible that they brought the two of them to this place.
‘Wizards wouldn’t even like this.’
Wizards implicitly ignore the knight.
Therefore, the knights’ battles are nothing but child’s play.
The wizard’s battle is more colorful and there are many things to learn, so why watch a sweaty battle like the knight’s battle? I often say these words.
‘look. It’s a very boring expression.’
Adela’s expression is proof of that.
It seems that there is no interest or interest in this situation right now.
She maintains a perfect expressionless expression.
‘I’ve heard rumors that she’s a woman who has no interest in anything but magic… … .’
Stella’s expression twitched very slightly.
Something hurt my pride.
Sein Binoche’s battles are never easy to watch.
To be so calm in the face of such a great opportunity.
‘joy. Let’s see if I can stay so calm even after the sparring begins.’
Let’s see how long you can stay so calm.
Stella sneered inwardly and explained the current situation to Lillian.
“… … .”
Contrary to Stella’s expectations, however, Adela was not particularly calm.
He pretends to be expressionless, but this is all just acting.
In fact, I was more perplexed than anyone else in this room.
‘… … We met by chance, so it doesn’t matter, right?’
According to the plan, Shin Ha-yul and Adela, no, Luan and Adela should not meet separately.
That way, the person named ‘Luan Palatia’ is not suspected of being ‘Shin Ha-yul’.
‘… … Does it matter?’
But what is this?
I met you unexpectedly.
Even in such an important place.
‘What if it matters?’
So, Adela has no choice but to panic.
Not only this.
‘No, more than that, I didn’t say that I was going around as a knight… … .’
All Adela knew was that Shin Ha-yul was operating under the pseudonym ‘Luan Palatia’ and a fake ID.
I had never heard of him working as a knight, nor had I thought of it.
Who would think.
Shin Ha-yul, a genius magician, is acting as a knight.
Not much more an apprentice knight, but a knight on a level comparable to that ‘Sein Binoche’.
‘Did you use magic to imitate the knight’s battle?’
Shin Ha-yul is a magician.
As long as he has a mana circle, it is impossible to create a mana core.
Therefore, he can never become a knight.
Presumably, it was imitating the knight’s battle using magic.
Shin Ha-yul is also learning the ‘Sinmu’ of Shinmugangga.
Since he was a person who used his body well, it wouldn’t have been that difficult to imitate him.
‘however… … . I don’t know Stella Binoche, but that person. Sein Binoche’s eyes won’t be fooled.’
This is the third reason why Adela is embarrassed.
I am worried about Shin Ha-yul, who is currently standing there, and I feel like I am going crazy because I am worried.
‘There must have been other ways to investigate the knight academy, but why did they have such an irrational number?’
At this rate, Luan Palatia’s identity as a magician is exposed.
If anything, it might be revealed that he was a servant.
‘I can’t take it out now.’
As long as this place is prepared, it is impossible to leave.
It’s literally a situation where you can’t get rid of it.
Shin Ha-yul must fight Sein Binoche unconditionally.
‘… … Oh really.’
Adela’s heart was pounding.
Anxiety and nervousness made his heart beat faster.
“This is how it happened.”
Just in time, Stella finished all the explanations.
“Then is that man really the same as Sein?”
“I didn’t see you doing your best, I can’t say for sure… … . yes. At least that’s how it seemed to me.”
After hearing everything, Lillian Stewart’s eyes lit up with an expression of interest.
“… … .”
Adela was still expressionless.
But like I said, the only expressionless thing is the appearance.
On the inside, I am anxious beyond words.
‘What are you going to do… … .’
I felt resentful of Shin Ha-yul for creating such an absurd situation.
“Hmm. okay. Then it will be worth seeing.”
Lillian Stewart grinned and looked at Adela.
“Adela. Take a good look too. this battle. You will get a lot just by looking at it.”
“… … yes.”
Like that, the three of them looked at the stadium with different thoughts.
And just then.
―From now on, we will begin the test for issuing the temporary instructor’s certificate for Luan Palatia.
The referee announces the start of the test.
Stella and Adela rubbed their chests with trembling expressions.
Of course, it wasn’t the same trepidation.
‘What kind of battle will he show me?’
One was a trembling from anticipation.
‘… … eww.’
One was a trembling caused by anxiety.
With such conflicting feelings, the two women focused their attention on the center of the exam hall.
* * *
“Then we’ll start sparring in 5 seconds… … .”
“It is done.”
Sein Binoche interrupted the referee.
“You don’t have to count the counters. back off.”
“but… … .”
Sain Binoche’s brow furrowed very slightly.
“You don’t say it twice.”
“… … yes.”
The referee flinched and backed away.
No, instead of stepping back, he went out of the exam hall.
“He is ignorant. There’s no need for a count between the two of us. Isn’t it?”
Sein smiled brightly.
“well.”
I didn’t know what to say, so I replied moderately.
“Right. Are you the humble type?”
Maybe he liked my answer, Sein’s smile grew even thicker.
“Even though I have achieved that much, I am not conceited or complacent. not bad.”
The evaluation of me is higher than I imagined.
What the hell did Sein see in me?
“Aren’t you overestimating me? You haven’t even seen me swing my sword properly yet… … .”
“You can tell by not even swinging a sword.”
Sein glared at my danteon, the part where my mana core was.
“The density, quantity, and purity of the mana flowing from the mana core. You’re proving that your skills are extraordinary. What more do you need to see?”
“… … .”
Sein’s momentum fluctuated even more intensely.
The momentum was so intense that it made the surroundings tremble.
‘It must have been because of my mana core.’
My mana core is different from the mana cores used by knights.
The mana core itself is the same, but because of the infinity circle connected to the core, its throughput and processing speed itself show a marked difference.
My mana core is practically near completion.
If I had grasped the perfection of my mana core at a glance, I would have said something like that.
“Of course, compared to the mana core, the skill with the sword may be somewhat inferior… … .”
Sein smiled a little.
He laughed and drew his sword.
An imitation sword with no sharp edges made for training purposes.
The tip of the sword pointed at me.
“That’s it, check it out and you’ll see. ruler. Raise your sword.”
“… … Do you have to win to pass?”
“okay. You have to win to pass.”
“I never thought that a temporary instructor’s license at the National Knights School would be this difficult to obtain.”
“joy. Did you think it would be so easy to get qualified to teach someone?”
mischievous smile.
That’s what I said, but it’s not like you have to really win to pass.
If you show a certain level of potential and skills, they will pass you on their own.
I just drew my sword.
Gently gripped the sword and took a stance.
“The player will give up. come.”
“Then, I’ll take the first ball regardless of rudeness.”
Magic cannot be used.
Previously, when dealing with Mael Nadal, there were only knights nearby, so it was okay to mix magic to some extent.
Lillian Stewart and Adela are here.
If you use magic, you will be exposed immediately.
‘I see the game only purely with the sword and physical ability.’
Coincidentally, in this battle, all acts of releasing mana, including sword skills, are prohibited.
If you’re fighting using only your body, you don’t have to use magic.
The mana core increased the pumping speed further.
The mana circulation that started from the mana core also became faster.
“good. Feel so good. It’s what I expected. ha ha ha!”
Sein’s expression brightened even more.
“Now, come and see. Show me your sword.”
Immediately after the acceleration of the mana core entered the stable zone.
‘It’s cut.’
At the same time as I made up my mind, all my thoughts disappeared.
and the next moment.
My body was in the arms of Saint Binoche in an instant.
my black,
Woo woo woo woo-!
It fell straight towards Sein, who smiled brightly.
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A roar, resembling a bomb exploding, filled the entire test site.
