Chapter 230

Episode 230 Conditions

Inside the competition hall.

A large crowd of people laughed and mocked one participant.

“Waaah! “Crush it to pieces!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha! “Little one, come get some more milk!”

There were loud boos directed at Stoll.

In a way, the booing from the audience was natural.

The age limit for the Akaman Swordsmanship Competition has an upper limit, not a lower limit.

Therefore, even those who were somewhat younger than the participants were able to participate.

However, there is no contestant in the same age group as Stoll.

The academy has its own regulations that only upper class classes can participate, so students below that level cannot participate, and in general aristocratic families, participation is discouraged considering that facing a big wall at too young an age can act as a trauma and lead to stagnation of the level. I tended to stay away.

“I don’t have a hobby of beating up kids… … . Kid. “Why don’t you abstain?”

Obvious mockery of the opponent.

Stoll simply ignored him and prepared for the match by stretching his stiff body.

The other person looked at the stall and laughed as if it was cute.

‘Valière? ‘How should I cook it for you?’

When it comes to swordsmanship, differences in height and physical condition can never be ignored.

Even if it is the same plant and the same sword, the power contained therein is different, and the reach that can unleash the sword is different.

Aside from the difference in training time and level due to the age difference, it is a fight that can never be lost just by looking at physical conditions.

“Kid, come in first. “Brother, I will take three attacks.”

“Wow, it’s really noisy. “Is the family’s secret sword technique just a trick of the tongue?”

“what!? Oh, what a shameless bastard! OK! “I’ll beat you up!”

The flag was raised with a little nervousness.

It was at that time that the opponent, enraged by Stall’s provocation, was about to leave.

Pow-

With a small explosion, Stall’s new model disappeared.

And then, with a leap, Stoll’s small body was suddenly in front of the opponent’s eyes.

“A truly strong person!”

The opponent, taken aback for a moment, quickly drew his sword and blocked Stoll’s sword.

However, the black energy from Stol’s sword condensed and a powerful energy exploded into the surrounding area.

“W-what!?”

“The snout is heavy!”

With those words, Stoll delivers a blow.

With the sound of a huge explosion, the curb of the sparring hall was shattered, and the opponent was blown out of the arena along with countless rubble fragments.

“Knock, gag-”

The opponent is pinned against a wall, vomiting blood.

The wall outside the venue cracked, proving how strong the impact was.

Wow… … .

Breathtaking silence.

The audience all held their breath and tried to understand the current situation.

A strange phenomenon that happened in a split second without anyone seeing anything.

Stoll glanced at everyone in the silent venue, then pinched one of his eyes with his finger and stuck out his tongue.

“If I am a kid, then you are all kids! “You bastards!”

「… … .」

“If you don’t have enough milk, drink more milk! These guys are just fine! “Beeeeee~!”

Stoll flips one eyelid, shakes out his tongue, and taunts the audience.

The audience, frozen in silence at the sight, all threw food at Stoll and swore at him.

“What, what!? “You say it again!”

“What did you little bastard say!?”

“hey! Just wait! uh!? “If you don’t reach my opponent, you’ll lose!”

All kinds of food and trash flew in from all over, along with boos.

A rumor that will cover the Kingdom of Belkart in the near future.

This was the beginning of the legend of the bad boy of the swordsmanship competition.

* * *

The frozen Marquis of Carlin.

It’s as blatant as his abilities.

This may be an example, but doesn’t it blatantly reveal one’s true feelings?

An action no central noble would ever do.

‘Is it confidence…? … .’

A central noble would have hidden his true feelings until the end.

Even if you’re on the same boat, it’s the same.

No, maybe it’s because they don’t mind if they reveal their true feelings blatantly.

If you look at his actions so far, it’s not something you can’t understand.

“ha ha ha… … . “It’s quite extreme.”

“That’s what it says. “How can I fight the entire noble faction by myself?”

That’s correct.

How can an individual annihilate a force?

However, his words touched my heart strongly.

A strong belief and will was conveyed as if it would definitely happen.

‘Woah, you’re not an average person after all.’

An unknown weight.

Is this really a high level mage?

The weight of each word is different.

Who would have thought that he, the Marquis, and not anyone else, would feel ‘authority’ in his words.

Seeing the Marquis quite embarrassed, Yukiel shrugged his shoulders and quenched his appetite.

‘Is it because of what you said?’

Bondage to words.

Regardless of the type of language, will is expressed in the same way.

Just as words once spoken bind oneself, the same goes for others.

“But, there’s something puzzling.”

“What is that?”

“How do you guarantee extraterritoriality? “Neither His Majesty the King nor the King’s faction would have such power.”

That’s good.

It’s extraterritorial.

However, there is no way the noble faction would tolerate such a thing.

Once you give that authority, you won’t be able to use it for any other reason after that.

“I see. These are not people you can watch in fascination. So, there is something you need to do.”

“What should I do?”

“Multiple gates have exploded, and the western Ers Plain has been taken over by monsters. “We are forming a punitive force, but it is not easy due to the aristocratic faction’s uncooperative attitude.”

“… … .”

“As you know, the King faction is barely maintaining the balance of power. However, it is not possible to form a punitive force here with only the forces of the King faction. “There will be severe protests from nobles within the faction.”

“… … .”

“But there are many difficulties in moving a large army. “To begin with, the huge area has turned into a swamp and it is not easy to enter.”

“… … .”

“So shouldn’t we create a reason to praise merit? “Let’s strike the player before the noble faction stumbles.”

So, the King faction, which is already weak, doesn’t want to make sacrifices?

That may not be the only purpose.

You might want to know for sure at this opportunity.

How powerful are you and the undead?

Only by making sure of this will we be able to persuade the nobles within the King faction.

‘Does this mean that it will be beneficial no matter what happens?’

From the King’s point of view, there is nothing to lose.

Even if the king’s faction refuses, it is obvious that they will be asked to provide troops to form a punitive force.

If they refuse to support troops, the noble faction has no justification to block the king faction’s proposal.

Even if the noble faction provides military support, there is no harm in solving a difficult problem for the king faction.

A structure in which you have no choice but to benefit no matter which way the situation goes.

‘An old man like a fox… … .’

Yukiel slowly lifted the corner of his mouth.

After presenting them with irresistible sweet fruit, they pass on the troublesome work.

‘Are these central nobles? ‘It’s worn and worn.’

He has no intention of granting extraterritorial authority.

Because the aristocratic bastards will never tolerate it.

If the aristocratic faction withdraws, that’s fine, but if they don’t, it’s obvious that they’ll come then and suggest other conditions, saying, ‘There’s nothing we can do because the aristocratic faction’s opposition is so severe.’

In other words, the sweet fruit of extraterritoriality is just a means to move the aristocratic faction.

“You are an interesting person. “Do I look like a kid?”

“What does that mean?”

“Do you think you don’t know the Marquis’ hidden meaning and intentions?”

He wiped his smile and glared at the Marquis with a cold expression.

As Yukiel’s will led the way, the space around him froze cold and a suffocating silence came.

A huge magical pressure soared and completely took over the space, constricting the entire body as if it were underwater.

“… … !?”

Absurd presence.

To be honest, I was skeptical, but I can’t help but believe it.

Marquis Carlin clenched his fists and circulated his energy, barely able to catch his breath.

The moment when you find it difficult to open a conversation with him.

Yukiel chuckled and released the magic pressure.

Blue waves flowing, magical power so dense that it can be seen with the naked eye.

“If you thought you could handle me dexterously, you were wrong.”

“… … .”

“So, you must keep your promise. Don’t let the arrow be aimed at a harsh place.”

That’s enough of the warning.

Don’t ignore it just because it looks young.

If you give this warning once, you won’t do anything foolish.

Also, if you do this, you won’t be swayed even if you join the king’s faction.

“This is so… … . “I’m embarrassed.”

“Don’t worry. “I will play with you however you want.”

With those words, Yukiel stood up first.

I have no intention of fighting with him, but I also have no intention of taking a low stance either.

There is a need to extend it to some extent, even considering the right to speak out about war in the future.

Anyway, that’s what’s desperately needed for the balance of power between forces.

“Now that the atmosphere is like this, please invite me to a separate dinner later. then.”

Yukiel slowly lowered his head and left the office.

And, seeing Yukiel’s back like that, Marquis Carlin laughed.

“I’m not just a kid, I guess… … .”

It’s quite rough.

Is it really a good thing to embrace him?

If done incorrectly, the conflict with the noble faction could deepen.

“But I have no choice but to do it.”

An outspoken personality and the strength to back him up.

If you don’t have a purpose, you don’t know, but since you presented him with a purpose, you have to go even if you can’t eat.

Whatever the situation may be, it will be better than him being with the noble faction.

‘It might be a little tricky… … .’

If he becomes one of the king’s faction, the means he can use are endless.

In addition, if he takes the dark position of palace archmage, the influence of the king’s faction within the palace will further increase.

Mages are beings with tremendous influence in the military.

And when it comes to defense, he has absolute power.

Even if a rebellion breaks out, it will not be easy to break through if he stands in the palace with 70,000 undead as the last bastion.

The White Throne and the Black Throne, two court archmages and 70,000 undead.

At that level, in case of emergency, a lot of time can be bought until the front-line troops arrive.

“what… … . “You will know when you watch.”

It was up to him what his position would be within the King faction.

You will understand by looking at how to recapture the Ers Plain and how to subdue the monsters.

What is his exact power and what help will he have for the King faction?

Meanwhile, Yukiel, who came out of the marquis’ mansion, raised his eyebrows at the report of Halfmoon, who was waiting.

“Stoll said that?”

“yes. “All participants are threatening to be scolded.”

“The atmosphere must have been quite fun.”

It was a wide-area provocation from the start.

I missed something quite interesting.

‘Still, it’s as expected.’

It would be nice to win, but actually you just need to be in the top three.

In that case, you have to have an audience with the king to receive the victory sword anyway.

And then, when his relationship with Stoll is revealed, things will get quite interesting.

If you join the King faction and establish a position, Stoll is like a catalyst that will solidify that position.

Just as a roaring fire can grow out of control with just a small trigger, so does the flow of atmosphere.

Once you go with the flow, even small things feel big.
