Surprising Even Breathing - Chapter 49
49 – Ban vs.
A white line was drawn on the playground to divide the sections in which each class participated.
I walked to the place marked as the first year academy special class and stood still with my back straight.
The academy special class students who participated with me hesitated, unable to approach me.
I participated in the anti-class match at the request of Broa and Miel, but this was my first appearance.
don’t know how it goes
I stood in my place and looked around.
Chase doesn’t compete in this event, so he has no one to talk to comfortably.
So I called Broa, who came to ask me if I would like to participate.
“How does the anti-ban battle go? What am I supposed to do?”
Because she was wearing the Infinite Ring, she came within 3 meters of me.
He was afraid to look at my face, but he listened well to what I said without being frightened.
“First of all, the students in my class who competed here are on the same side. The moderator will come out later and explain in detail what to face.”
Broa must have been very curious about the items I was wearing, so she glanced at my face whenever she had a chance after I came wearing lip piercings and skull earrings.
It’s fortunate that he doesn’t seem as scared or surprised as he used to when he sees me.
There are about 10 students in my class participating in this event.
When I appeared, it was divided into me and the rest.
It didn’t look like a team at all, but since they were standing in the same academy special class area, they would be tied to one side when viewed from the outside.
“I saw the Dragonian Prince for the first time today, was that an impression? It looks very scary and dangerous, but it doesn’t feel as strong as I heard in rumors.”
People in the stands whispered.
Everyone could see me when I was out on the field, and it was easy to recognize who I was because I was 190cm tall and wore a hood, cape, piercings, and earrings.
However, since the magical power shed around her isn’t what it used to be, she’s definitely not as afraid of me as usual.
Looking at my face hidden behind a hood from a distance, each of them recited their feelings.
“Did you hear the rumor that he returned after destroying the mage tower this time? All the high-ranking wizards of the Mage Tower were summoned, but I heard that everyone was at a loss because they couldn’t do anything about him.”
“The magic tower’s defensive magic didn’t work on him at all.”
Gossip and rumors about me were like a fountain that never ran dry.
The academy officials compared the rumors they had heard and me actually standing in the middle of the playground.
“I heard that Jasmaken’s secret fortress was destroyed and the chimeras were slaughtered in the Eastern Magic Zone, did you hear that?”
“what? You said you went all the way to the Eastern Magician?”
Unbelievable rumors, as always.
Rumors about me were usually dismissed as jokes or ghost stories because they were stories that overturned common sense and completely denied general standards.
“But I don’t think that Yongin is like that. Is this a little disappointing?”
“They said that seeing him would automatically make you faint or drop to your knees, but that wasn’t true.”
“It certainly feels scary and spooky, but who wouldn’t be scared when you’re that big, covered in a hood and cape, and wearing weird accessories?”
The farther away from me, the more relaxed I was, laughing and chatting and joking around.
Even when I appear, the atmosphere in the playground is friendly.
It was an atmosphere suitable for a general sports festival.
Occasionally, people who made eye contact with me while looking around collapsed in surprise, but it was limited to a small number.

“Hey, they told us to prepare for the last event, what kind of resolution did we have to make?”
A student in the 2nd year academy special class came up to the area of the 1st year academy special class and started talking.
The person he was talking to was Bart.
It is known that the last event is to use strength, so students who use strength in the same class mainly participated.
“Don’t you see? Finally, Demesis-nim from our class participated! If he had already participated in half the match, you would all be dead already!”
Bart looked at him and said aloud.
The 1st year academy special class and the 2nd year academy special class were the main rivals throughout this class competition.
As a special academy class with the best talents on the continent, of course both wanted to be first, but the first year students were pushed back by the second year students.
Starting from the 3rd year, they do not participate in the class competition because they mainly go outside the academy rather than being in the academy. So, traditionally, the class competition was won by the sophomore academy special class.
However, in this freshman academy special class, there were many people who were strong enough to cause trouble.
Excluding the asymmetric power of Demesis, the best talents who can be said to be representatives of each race gathered.
Despite their low-quality unity, they earned a lot of points by demonstrating their individual talents.
Therefore, the current grade 1 and 2 grade academy special class scores are close.
Although the 2nd year academy special class is getting a slightly higher score, it was a score difference that could be overturned if the 1st year special class won this last event.
When Bart heard that Demesis was coming out, his confidence flared up and he jumped into the 2nd year special class, but they didn’t back down either.
“Barbarian. You shouldn’t speak ill of your seniors. still haven’t learned it? Really, this freshman has no manners and no concept.”
The gaze of the sophomores looking at the special class of the academy for the first year was not good.
The class competition title, which the sophomore academy special class had been winning for a long time, was threatened this time.
Holds the freshman in check and raises his chin.
“That bastard’s words, respectful words! I do not use honorifics with my enemies!”
“Did you just call the sky-like second-year seniors your enemies? You stupid bastard?”
“Don’t call the barbarian stupid! I will break your head!”
They huffed and puffed as if they were going to punch each other across the white line.
“Bart, calm down. Then you get penalized again.”
“demerit? When did I get penalized?”
“You kept using bad language with professors and ended up getting a penalty point, did you forget that?”
Oscar came over and calmed the agitated Bart.
Maxden also thought it was not good to fight with seniors and grabbed him by the back.
“Seniors, I don’t know about anyone else, but you should be as careful as Demesis-sama.”
Gavin, a paladin who knew someone in the 2nd year academy special class, said in a polite tone.
Bart boasted like an idiot and was ignored, but in fact Demesis’ participation was a variable no one expected.
How he performs will determine the outcome of this event.
Having seen the strength of Demesis, Gavin believed that.
“Fu, no matter how hard it is, the history and tradition of the academy will not be broken. The gap between you and us is so obvious, can it be overcome with the participation of one Dragonian prince?”
The senior paladin, Mikhail, crossed his arms and urged Gavin in a stern tone.
The 2nd year academy special class also came out in harmony to not lose to the 1st year.
As a senior, I try not to lose my pride.
“Demesis-nim is not a person with whom history and tradition communicate.”
“You have to see how long and short it is. If the 2nd year academy special class sincerely joins forces, even the man-eating Yongin will not be able to do anything about it.”
At Mikhail’s remark, Gavin’s eyes twitched.
He was a senior in the church he respected, but now, with the team divided like this, it feels strangely bad to gossip about his classmate, Demesis.
It was also a warning for him.
Those who do not know the true fear of Demesis make hasty judgments.
I’m fine, we won’t be scared, and no matter how great he is, he won’t change their minds.
You have to experience this to know.
Gavin greeted his senior, dragged Bart, and lined up the students of the special class of the first year academy.

-The name of the last competition event in the class competition is ‘Blowing a Gourd’! The first team to throw sandbags and explode the gourd on the top wins!
When the waiting time was over, the moderator announced what kind of confrontation they would be having.
Already above the heads of all classes, a large gourd like a troll’s torso with their class names engraved was floating 100 meters high.
– Magical use is allowed! However, since that gourd’s magic defense power is also considerable, in order to explode it, the students in the same class must gather their strength and use their brains to devise a strategy so that it can explode quickly!
After hearing the moderator’s explanation, everyone raised their heads and looked at the gourd floating in the air.
It was difficult to match, but the magic defense was high, so it was a difficult task even for the students of the academy to overcome.
– Well, then let’s begin!
At the signal, the magic shot signaled the start of the confrontation.
Everyone picked up a bag of sand and threw it at Park.
Took, tok, tok.
It was difficult to reach at a height of 100 meters, so there was no sign of the gourd opening.
“Ugh! This sandbag is too weak! Magic doesn’t work very well, and there’s no power even if it touches the gourd!”
Bart, who was eagerly throwing sandbags, complained.
Other students were no different from him.
Each of them uses their talents to throw sandbags, but Park is unmoved.
“… … .”
I was staring at Park quietly.
Exploding that thing was already pictured in my head. In fact, even using telekinesis alone, the gourd was no different from bursting.
But I’m a little worried about how to pop it.
As I stared at the gourd without lifting a sandbag, my classmates looked at me with puzzled eyes.
People in the stands also noticed me, but I didn’t move.
“Look at that! The second year students of the academy special class are joining forces while drawing a magic circle!”
The werewolf beast pointed a finger at the area of the 2nd grade special class.
They quickly devise a strategy and plan to join forces.
The amount of mana gathered in the magic circle drawn on the floor was unusual.
“Ahh! Hey, hurry up and do your best! throw it! Throw faster!”
Bart urged his teammates with impatience.
Everyone eagerly threw sandbags into the sky, but it was a ragtag gathering.
Park swayed and knocked out sandbags flying from the ground.
I looked at Park and called for Broa.
She threw a bag of sand into the sky with all her strength after receiving the strengthening magic from Miel, but it was not enough.
Hearing my call, he comes running in haste.
“Broa. Didn’t you say I needed a landslide victory? How can I blow that gourd perfectly?”
“yes?”
She widened her eyes, as if she didn’t immediately understand my question.
Others are thinking about how to pop the gourd, but I was thinking about how to pop it.
“Can’t we just blow it up first?”
“okay? Can that also be called an overwhelming victory?”
“yes…”
she nodded.
I don’t know what I’m going to do from now on, so I blink and stare.
Popping the gourd was easy.
It was so trivial that I thought about whether I could just explode it, but if I could express it as overwhelming just by bursting it first, I would.
I had a sandbag in my hand.
Then, he filled it with magic power and threw it at the gourd.
Quung!
The night in the first year academy special class exploded immediately.
Wow Jangchang!
From noble mtl dot com
The shield that the professors had installed for safety also could not withstand the force of the sandbags that pierced the gourd and broke.
whoop-
As I exerted my strength, the mana that had flowed out for a moment spread widely around the playground.
Everyone was startled, shaking their legs and falling to their knees staggering.
