I Will Smash Everything With My Passive Skills - Chapter 66
066. Check (3)
“Brother, who is there?”
Veris and Gunther were in an empty arena with few people.
It was impossible not to know who the main character was, as the appearance, which did not hide his presence at all, with silver hair that could be seen from the corner.
“Today was very quiet.”
It was in the morning that Gunther asked me to look at how he used the greatsword.
I said I would do it anyway since I had plenty of time since Berris had a semi-final matchup in the afternoon, but what is this?
The great Archduke Wallenstein of Gaul came to the scene tirelessly.
“My dear.”
Evangeline, with a happy smile on her face, approached Veris and said.
“Have you been training?”
“Well, that’s how it feels.”
“Then why didn’t you visit Grand Duke Vaughn? All strong people can give clear answers.”
She is Evangeline, who seems to be misunderstood. The reason why Gunther and Veris are in the arena right now is all for Gunther to adapt to his greatsword, right?
“Who are you? Brother, are you close?”
But it wasn’t just Berris and Evangeline. Gunther was frowning, perhaps because he was uncomfortable with the Grand Duke treating Berris, whom he trusted and followed.
“No, I just recently got to know him.”
“…… It’s a face I’ve never seen before. I am Gunther Fon Haren. I am a first year student at the academy.”
“I already know.”
“…… ?”
“Everyone knows that you are Gunther von Haruen, that you are the first year ace of the academy, and that you are called the imperial swordsman genius.”
“Huh!”
For some reason, the purpose of the visit seems impure. However, Gunther, who did not know her identity, sneered at the Grand Duke’s reaction, probably thinking that she was just an uninvited guest.
“Then who are you?”
“Huhu, you must be of a curious age.”
Evangeline said while maintaining her leisurely appearance and tapped the sword placed on her left waist. It is a white sword. Even if you had a bare minimum, you should be able to understand what that means.
“…… Gaul?”
From noble mtl dot com
“You have eyes to see.”
“Certainly you are the famous Archduke Wallenstein…… ?”
“You are quick to understand.”
Veris did not know this, but her sword seemed to have a symbol unique to the kingdom of Gaul.
Anyway, Gunther pinpointed her identity. Gunter seemed to know the information that the famous Grand Duke of Gaul would visit the academy.
“So.”
Evangeline stared at Berrys with her serious eyes. Not knowing what she wanted, Veris was trying to catch that gaze with her quivering eyes.
“My dear, do you want power?”
“?”
“If you want power, Zuma. No matter how low mana you are, if you receive my teaching, you will surely be able to achieve good results. It’s not hard to make a place for you in the kingdom if you want. Of course, if you accept my offer.”
It is the confident voice of Evangeline. Naturally, at that absurd voice, Gunther stood there frowning once again.
“Hey, Archduke.”
“Why is that?”
“Maybe… …. Don’t you know your brother’s strength?”
Evangeline, who was asked about Gunther’s honesty or reckless attitude, looked at Gunther as if he were a strange person.
“Of course I know. Wasn’t Veris born with a constitution that could only accumulate a small amount of mana? But on the other hand, his skills are not outstanding. I appreciate it.”
“… ….”
Gunther turned her head to look at Veris, as if she had just heard Evangeline say her.
Baffled, angry, stuffy.
The complex state of mind covered Gunther’s face in an instant. It seemed that the Grand Duke, who was fanning his imagination alone, seemed quite frustrated.
“That…… Archduke?”
“Yes.”
“I have heard rumors that the Grand Duke is strong. Then, do you have any intention of sharing the sword?”
“Sword? Whoops, the brave Ahae logo.”
Evangeline put on a happy expression. She couldn’t believe it. She thought she wanted to try swords with her. She had the feeling that she was not afraid of the name Wallenstein, perhaps because she was from the Empire.
But.
“I want my older brother to be my opponent, not me.”
“Hmm?”
Evangeline tilted her head.
She thinks…….
It was a certainty that Veris was a man of exceptional abilities. It was already far beyond common sense to show such movements and sword skills despite the lack of mana she possessed.
But even so, Evangeline and Veris crossing swords…… Pointless thing.
No matter how excellent a swordsman is, if mana doesn’t support her, she’s just a living shell.
“Not bad.”
“My dear, are you serious?”
Evangeline was putting on a puzzled expression for the first time since she entered the academy.
She is the one who kept her own poker face even when she heard that if she joined Evangeline’s plan, she would demand a big reward.
But isn’t this too reckless?
“By the way, why do you think I don’t have mana?”
Veris, who had been listening to the conversation between Gunther and the Archduke in silence, asked a question for the first time.
The Grand Duke seemed to ponder for a moment with a hard face, but then opened his mouth.
“I was born with mystical powers. First of all, the swordsmanship and mana talent bestowed by God, and an intuition close to prophecy. And…… Finally, the eyes that can see the mana the person has.”
“…… What do you mean?”
“I have already seen your mana, Veris. Compared to the average academy student, he doesn’t look so small.”
“You didn’t see it wrong, did you?”
The Archduke shook his head at Gunther’s question.
Her eyes that see through mana were a power close to blessing.
A power like that has never produced a wrong result in my entire life, so there’s no way it’s only good for Veris to make a mistake.
“This is strange. The older brother I know is a man with a lot of mana.”
“To fight like that with insufficient mana is an ability that is close to miraculous in itself.”
“But there was a time when you used mana to control space.”
Gunther suddenly became an ardent defender of Veris. Veris felt at ease thanks to Gunther, who worked hard to clear up misunderstandings without having to argue.
“Dominating space?”
“Yes. When that realm unfolds, no being can live without your permission.”
But this time, Veris couldn’t just listen quietly.
“No, that’s gross.”
“But was it right?”
“… ….”
The Grand Duke silently watched Veris and Gunther talk.
Evangeline, who felt absurd, didn’t feel the need to talk.
Her eyes are absolute. So the possibility of being wrong…….
“Oh?”
In the meantime, the Grand Duke came up with a possibility.
The power of her eyes, which see through her mana, is more versatile than you might think. At its best, she can normally see the mana of anyone she touches in her peripheral vision.
And if you focus your eyes on one person…….
“No way?”
At the possibility that deviated from common sense, the archduke spat out an inappropriate, stupid sound.
‘Yeah, why did I think of it now?’
The power of her ‘eye’ did not require her to concentrate her eyesight. The reason is simple. She could see all the mana of the person she was facing, even if she wasn’t focusing her eyes.
But.
If only. Really if The total amount of mana that can be seen as a halo in her eyes…….
What if you can’t see everything with human eyesight?
─────Wow!
Without time to explain his thoughts, the archduke focused his eyes. Then, a group of lights poured down from the sky like a meteor shower.
“This, this is nonsense… ….”
It was like a blessing from God, a proof of respect.
It was like a brilliant aura that lit up the whole world. And that light… It was pouring down precisely around one man.
Yes.
Evangeline, what she had seen so far was not the empty mana of a man named Veris.
She thought she had no mana…… It was all just an illusion on her part.
“How can a person…….”
Faced with the truth, her chin felt like it was shaking. Faced with the truth of her blue-haired man standing quietly in front of her, she could hardly stand upright because her legs were shaking.
Fear.
Yes. Evangeline suddenly became afraid of that man. It was because she witnessed a power so overwhelming that it blinded her, and also because she realized how humble she was.
The light pouring down behind Veris’s back was huge. Battleground…… No, it was not a halo that shone so brightly that it covered the entire academy, but it could be called the sun itself.
Turb.
Evangeline’s sudden change in her reaction made Veris realize that she saw something in her.
Let’s take a step closer to her.
“Ugh!”
Evangeline raised her arm to block her vision from her dazzling light and her waves of mana.
Because if she didn’t do that, her own ‘eyes’ that were out of her control would go blind at any moment.
“Now you’re in the mood to have a proper conversation, Archduke Evangeline.”
Dumb!
Evangeline said she regretted what she had said.
Because the voice of Veris, who passed it quietly in the brilliant light, contained a terrifyingly benevolent feeling.
