Episode 230. The Third Force (16)
Fencing.
This is a passive skill that nullifies an opponent’s attack when it is judged as a ‘hit’ and gives a ‘defense’ judgment.
The word ‘GUARD!’ will appear above the character, which means that the sword technique has been activated.
Huh? This is the first time I’ve seen this skill. When and where did you get it?
‘This is a skill obtained by using the Predation skill after defeating Professor Leung.’
To be exact, it was a skill obtained from the corpse of Leung that the Rodelin party had defeated. The hidden boss Leung turned into light and disappeared as soon as I defeated him.
Anyway, this isn’t what’s important right now, so let’s move on.
To be honest, I had completely forgotten that I even had the [Swordfighting] skill.
because.
‘This is the first time that the sword technique has been activated.’
Yes. Even when I was getting beaten by Lucia during the hellish duel, and even when I was getting hit with dozens of honey-punches by Caron.
Even when Luna was chewing, tearing, tasting, and enjoying(?)
[Sword Defense] has never been activated even once.
So it wasn’t strange that I had forgotten the skill [Sword Fighting].
furthermore.
‘The activation probability of auto-type skills is extremely low. In particular, the probability of swordsmanship is much lower.’
Given the nature of the sword technique of nullifying and blocking any attack, it is only natural that the game company sets the probability to be pitifully low.
After hundreds of thousands of experiments by users, the probability was only vaguely estimated to be around 0.05%.
‘But is this where that ridiculous probability explodes…?’
9-star knight’s attack, low activation probability of sword technique, F-grade but useless.
What are the odds that these three will explode at the same time?
It would be a probability comparable to winning first prize in the lottery.
-It’s not like you to give up just because your opponent is strong. Just rely on some damn luck!
Suddenly, I remembered the passionate speech Luna had given a little while ago.
It was just fucking luck. The cat’s return. Something like that?
If that was the case, it was a favor I didn’t want to receive at all.
“You… … !”
Adonis was looking at me with disbelief.
Only then did I come back to reality and begin to grasp the current situation.
This is a story where you should have lost. But you won.
There will be many problems in the future.
But the biggest problem right now is… … .
‘Adonis’s suspicions about me have grown.’
Adonis’ attack a moment ago wasn’t the power of a 5-star knight. It was probably more powerful than that, closer to a 9-star knight.
A speed that made it impossible to even press the cancel quest button.
It was natural for Adonis to look at me like that, since he had thrown it away.
‘I saw a hole in the ceiling… … I didn’t mean to kill you. If I really meant to kill you, I would have blown up the entire ceiling.’
What I’m saying is that it would have been better if I had been hit. Even if my body hurt, the level of suspicion towards me would have definitely gone down.
But what is this?
Suddenly, he became a ‘suspiciously good student’ who was able to block the attack of a 9-star knight.
Stopping an attack by a 9-star knight at the age of 15?
It was nonsense, and it would not have been strange if Adonis had judged me to be a devil.
It was such a big incident that I couldn’t say anything even if I had my neck twisted right away.
“Hey, we won! We won!”
“It’s Alex after all!”
“Adonis lost?”
“Wow, that’s ridiculous… … .”
There were cheers on our side, and sighs on the other side.
“Hehe, Alex. I’ll borrow your body for a moment.”
“Uh, yeah?”
I clung close to Alex’s back.
Alex is the main character of this game. That means you can’t kill him arbitrarily.
Alex watched Adonis closely while equipped with a shield(?).
“… … .”
First of all, it didn’t seem like he was trying to kill me.
It could be because there were so many eyes watching, or it could be because I wasn’t sure.
“You… … .”
“Get out!”
Just as Adonis was about to open his mouth, someone intervened.
It was Teron. He came down and got between us.
Was it because of the joy of victory? There was a little sweat on his forehead.
I was even gasping for breath.
“Huk… … Huk. The exchange meeting is over. Any further fighting will be considered a dispute, not an exchange meeting. Retreat immediately!”
“… … I have no reason to follow your orders?”
“You’re saying you won’t accept the result? Fine, I’ll deal with it myself!”
Teron took a stance, stomping his feet.
The floor of the training hall was sunken. It seemed as if the family’s secret technique was ready to be used at any moment.
‘Why is he so excited? It’s not enough to calm Adonis down!’
“Lord Teron! Be careful!”
“Lord Teron!”
Dyke ran quickly and stood in front of Teron.
The Teronites followed suit.
The children in the stands muttered.
“It’s my first time seeing Teron running.”
“Even the escort, Dyke, was surprised. He probably never imagined that his master would run like that.”
“Let’s go too. We’re a team, right?”
Woof woof-.
The children of the Yuridia faction began to come up onto the training ground one by one.
In the lead stood Yuridia.
“Teron, aren’t you too excited?”
“Alex and Zero did what they had to do. It’s natural that we take care of the rest.”
“Huh~ That’s surprising. Not a political judgment, but pure friendship. Did Teron-kun also grow?”
“… … Are you being sarcastic?”
“That’s a compliment? Well, let’s talk about that later. For now, it seems more important to take care of the task at hand.”
Yuridia let out a chuckle.
Alex and I were surrounded in an instant. We looked around while keeping our eyes on Adonis as much as possible.
‘My kids don’t come, only other people’s kids come.’
Looking at the second floor, I could see Luna waving her hand.
He was crushing Raymond like a cushion.
I have to stay by the side of the distraught Regé, and I want to prevent Raymond from going to my side.
That was the result. I decided to stay by Reze’s side while trampling on Raymond.
“… … Step back.”
“huh?”
“I told you to step down.”
Even though he was surrounded by dozens of people, Adonis remained calm.
Instead, they even demanded that he step down.
“But this guy has been barking orders since a while ago. If you lost, just go down quietly.”
Zepha, Theron’s right-hand man, pushed Adonis’ shoulder. No, it was at the moment he was about to push him.
Slap-.
The zeppelin fell down, like a puppet whose strings had snapped.
“What, what is it?”
“What have you done!”
Everyone was confused. It was natural.
Because no one saw Adonis harm Zephas.
I couldn’t see it at all.
“The warning ends here. Hand him over and stand down.”
“Hey, this kid!”
“Everyone, run!”
Dismissed!
The sound of static electricity. At the same time, Adonis’ golden hair twitched.
‘crazy……!’
The majesty of Adonis in the game came to mind.
It was the moment when I was pressed against Alex.
“Adonis! Stop!”
It was Victoria.
As she climbed onto the platform, almost collapsing, Adonis took a small step back.
It was a good sign. It meant that there was a story going on that I didn’t know about.
“Calm down, there’s no reason to fight.”
“Really? I don’t think it’s that guy.”
“It’s just a pity. Isn’t that right, Adonis?”
“… … .”
Adonis nodded.
There was a strong impression that he was reluctantly admitting it, but no one pointed that out.
It’s also true that Zepha was defeated in an instant.
‘It was a victory that was barely achieved after a 2-on-1 fight.’
You probably think of Adonis as the undisputed ‘strongest student in the first year’.
At least ‘officially’.
It’s also because Adonis never had a real showdown with Dyke… … .
‘Zero… … Just how strong is that guy?’
Wouldn’t the unofficial number one be Zero?
– The thought must have crossed everyone’s mind.
It’s about telling ‘that guy’, who Adonis mentioned earlier, to step aside.
Because everyone here realized that ‘that guy’ meant me.
“Now that the exchange meeting has ended successfully, there is no reason to fight any longer. Let’s end it here.”
“Are you saying you admit defeat?”
“Of course. Defeat is defeat.”
Victoria neatly admitted defeat.
They didn’t even mention that it was an unfavorable matchup of 2:1.
Teron declared, raising his hand in the air.
“The first exchange is a victory for the Empire!”
Wow-!!
The children of the Theronites and Eurydias cheered and jumped.
The cheers were so loud that it made my head spin.
“Hang on! Hang on!”
The kids started throwing the hemlock… … no, me into the sky.
‘I’m screwed… … The story is a complete mess.’
It was the third time I had flown in the sky.
Clang! Clang!
There was a sound of something falling. I knew immediately that it was a trash can being tipped over.
At the same time.
Beep… … .
The sound of a horn echoed throughout the training ground.
The sound of the horn was somewhat weak, but everyone present felt it.
It’s not a weak whistle sound.
It was the sound of the horn breaking because it was so heated.
Everyone’s eyes turned to where the whistle had sounded, and of course, there she was.
The vice president of the student body at Annwood Academy and also the trash can monster.
Rodelyn.
Her gaze turned to the crumpled trash can, then to the ceiling.
A ceiling with a hole the size of a fist.
Thud-!
The sound of Rodelyn grinding her teeth could be heard clearly in my ears.
“Waste the precious tax money of the imperial people again! Do you even know what you have done?”
Kwaaaaah!
“The vice president exploded!”
“Mom, everyone run away!”
Rodelin, transformed into a dinosaur, started to run wild.
Oh, my head is spinning. A dinosaur(?) appears in the Academy. Where else can you find such a ridiculous story!
What on earth is going on with the story? Should I give up on the sixth quest?
‘But does that mean death can be avoided?’
It was a time when many worries were clouding my mind.
Swish-.
A confusing situation where children are running around here and there.
Someone passed me through that gap.
It was Adonis.
“Come here at midnight today.”
“… … .”
“It would be better if you came out quietly. If you don’t come out… … I don’t know what I’ll do.”
Adonis left with an eerie warning.
It was only then that I realized.
From a suspicious guy.
That he had changed his job to a very suspicious person.
* * *
“Ugh… … The vice president of the student council is so violent.”
“You have some great beating skills.”
“He is a talent fit for the Holy Nation. Should we try recruiting him?”
“Hey, Mr. Lee. Write a letter of reflection.”
The Victorian children whispered.
The momentum was pretty dead.
I had to write a reflection paper, but the biggest thing was that I lost at the exchange meeting.
‘Victoria would be no different. Excited… … I made a mistake.’
Adonis turned to Victoria.
It was to comfort the heartbroken Victoria.
“I let my guard down. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. I gained valuable information.”
“information?”
Victoria nodded.
Yes, Victoria had noticed one thing.
Currently, in the first year, in addition to the Theronites and the Eurydiaites… … .
That ‘zero wave’ exists.
‘The third force… … So you’re saying that we were the fourth force from the beginning?’
Even the children who looked like Zeropa were Luna and Reze, the only two.
Just three people forming a third force?
Considering the size of the Theronites and Eurydians, this was a huge undertaking.
‘He must be a powerful person. A powerful person that no one dares touch.’
Victoria thought it was ridiculous.
But today, Zero proved his ‘skill’. He repelled the attack of Adonis, a 9-star knight and hero of the empire.
He was no ordinary child.
‘If I absorb Zero Wave… … .’
You will be able to take over the top class in an instant.
Not only did we identify the top talent to recruit, we also figured out how to easily take over the top teams.
It was no wonder Victoria was in such a good mood.
There was another reason why I felt good.
‘As expected, it’s the Annwood Academy where talented people gather.’
Victoria felt her heart pounding.
If he becomes the emperor, Teron, Yuridia, Dyke, Luna, Zero, etc.
Because they will all follow his words and serve the people of the empire.
“I’m just stepping back for a moment to enjoy the pleasure. I’ll make sure to repay the humiliation I suffered today during the midterms.”
“……I see.”
Adonis closed his mouth.
Because I didn’t know where to start pointing out the problem.
In times like this, it was best to just keep my mouth shut.
“Oh~ Hohohohoho!”
Victoria’s smile, drawing a picture of a happy future, echoed throughout the Academy.
of course.
Son was busy writing a reflection paper.
