chapter 19
19. What remains except for the impossible
According to the Lanchester Law, in a fight between troops with the same ability, the one with the greater number must win.
Kyle and Viktor knew that very well. So, in order for Kyle to win against him, he would have to hide somewhere and launch a surprise attack, or he would secretly aim for the main base – he thought.
Kyle didn’t. I charged with twenty soldiers with swords. At this moment, Viktor’s feelings were the same as those he felt when he met an incomprehensibly stupid person.
‘What are you doing… ? Don’t you know that if the difference in troops is this big, even if there is a knight in it, you won’t be able to win… ?’
While Viktor panicked, Kyle, who stood at the head of the soldiers, felt very uncomfortable with this body. Feeling the heaviness of the armor and sword he was wearing, his weak body was already gasping for breath after running dozens of meters.

Neither the aura that gave him transcendent vitality nor the body he had trained for decades remained. All that remains is the swordsmanship he has trained all his life.
That was enough.
“Stop!”
Following Viktor’s order, the soldiers who had been preparing in advance unleashed their spears. Its movements were precise and transient, like a machine, and it seemed that even beasts like tigers and lions would not be able to overcome them easily.
It wasn’t Kyle. Kyle thrust his sword into the gap between the spears and twisted his balance. There was only one path to pass through, and Kyle, who entered the gap, decapitated the soldier.
Chow-! As the fountain of blood covered fifty soldiers, Kyle grinned and looked at Viktor, who was giving orders from afar.
“—Wait.”
wield a sword One soldier falls.
swing the sword again Three soldiers roll on the floor.
In the past, when there were no Auras or whatnot, it was said that if you faced three sword-bearing soldiers alone, you would be called the Sword Master.
If so, what should Kyle be called now—with a sword and digging through dozens of soldiers?
As Viktor watched this absurd scene, he realized a shocking fact. A soldier loses his life with each swing of his sword. Because the blade was swung once a second- the fact that it would take less than a minute for his troops to be annihilated.
“No, nonsense!”
Thinking that the combat power of the soldiers might not be that high, Viktor quickly grabbed a spear and stabbed the enemy soldiers.
However, the enemy soldier, who lightly received the spear he stabbed, stabbed the spear at Viktor in reverse, and Viktor, who was injured in his hand, let out a weak scream and let go of the spear and retreated.
Since it was an illusion, I didn’t feel any pain, but paradoxically, it was more terrifying that my hand could not move at all without pain.
“What are you doing?”
“Oh, oh my-!”
Kyle, who slaughtered all thirty of Viktor’s soldiers in the blink of an eye, looked down at Viktor as he wiped off the blood.
Seeing him trembling in fear, he didn’t even want to bother him, so Kyle swung his sword straight away and cut his throat.
Thirty and one. It took 1 minute and 38 seconds to cut down all troops.
Viktor, who was annihilated in less than 100 seconds, was nicknamed the cadet who couldn’t cook cup noodles or the cadet who prematurely ejaculated.

The academy is a facility that fosters gifted children created by the empire, and not only commoners but also famous nobles are enrolled in this facility.
Thanks to this, the academy’s facilities boast the best facilities compared to any other in the empire, and the restaurant is so excellent that the first prince declared that it was ‘better than the imperial family’ while attending the academy.
Today is our first meal at that restaurant. I was waiting in line with my pounding heart to be served.
“Kyle.”
As I was standing in line, Yuri jumped over the line all at once and came after me. Yuri, standing behind me, casually stood next to me.

No matter how noble and fiancée I was, I couldn’t stand him cutting in line, so I spoke firmly.
“Yuri, no matter how noble you are, cutting in line is—”
“Hey, I’ll live in this place. How much do you need?”
“Ah yes? … … thank you!”
However, before Yuri could say anything about cutting in line, she handed money to the cadet in the back seat and changed seats.
The cadet who received the money smiled and returned to the back seat, and Yuri shrugged as if nothing was wrong.
“Why?”
“… … By the way, I ask, how much did you pay?”
“100,000 cash.”
“If it’s that money, Mr…. .”
Roughly converted into won, it means that I paid 100,000 won to buy this seat. With that money, even if I bought the front row seat, I could have bought two of them—I’m not saying that, but he’s also really stupid.
However, Yuri clung to me with a nonchalant expression, whether it was the leisure of a duke’s daughter, or whether she just lacked a sense of money.
“Kyle, who is that kid?”
“Is that kid? who?”
“The blonde haired girl who stuck with you.”
Hearing Yuri’s words, I belatedly remembered the entrance ceremony. Aria became friends at the entrance ceremony. Yuri had seen him clinging to her, who had no sense of distance.
At that time, Yuri was waiting in front of the auditorium to take the oath of representation at the entrance ceremony, so she couldn’t approach me. After the entrance ceremony, we each moved to our classrooms, so there was no time to ask questions.
Unbelievably, I scratched my cheek and explained, never imagining that I would still have that in mind.
“She’s just sitting next to me.”
“Being stuck like that?”
“Is it?”
“… … Kyle, I don’t want to interfere with you talking to or being friendly with other girls. But—”
Yuri looked at me with twinkling eyes.
“Don’t forget that you are the son-in-law of the Duke of Grace. I am your fiancé.”
“… … Oh, oh.”
The powerful figure of a woman with big breasts makes real men uneasy… … !
Hearing the voice in my head, I hesitated, then immediately turned around and lifted the two trays in front of us.
“The rice is served, let’s go!”
I quickly moved to my seat holding her plate, and Yuri stared at the back of my head and followed right after.
After taking a seat in an appropriately empty seat, I began to eat, and I knew that the rumors about the academy cafeteria were not false.
“Wow—”
“… … Um, hehehe.”
Yuri, who was about to say something to me, immediately shut her mouth and buried her head in the plate. Even when he was young and now, he still had a strong appetite for food.
Slightly──I handed today’s dessert to her, and after seeing that, Yuri took turns looking at me and the dessert, pondering for a while, then carefully took the dessert.
“… … thanks.”
“It was nothing. bon appetit.”
“yes.”
I felt someone approaching me as I watched Yuri, who finished the meal in an instant and began to eat the omnyomnyom dessert.
An energy that I felt once. My body remembers it, but my head doesn’t remember it, and I turn my head slightly, and a handsome man with blond hair is standing next to me.
I looked at him with a tilt of my head for a moment, and it wasn’t long before I remembered a familiar look on his face.
“Bellion!”
“As expected—is that Kyle?”
“hahahaha! Did you go to the academy too?”
“yes. Even if the imperial family doesn’t want to come, they have to come.”
“yes? Oh, sit down, sit down!”
When Bellion sat down next to me, Yuri, who had completely cleared her mind and ate the dessert, shook and started to cackle.
When I handed her a glass of water to her, who looked like she was nervous, Yuri immediately drank the water in and let out a quick breath.
“Whoa… Greetings, Your Highness the Prince.”
“What is it, Yuri, why are you so hard? Aren’t we friends?”
“Yes… It is.”
“Then why are you using honorifics? take it easy look at him.”
Bellion looked at the awkward Yuri and pointed at me.
“He was comfortable talking to me from the first time he saw me. You do too.”
“… I’ll try, I’ll try.”
“yes. Please take good care of me.”
After meeting Bellion, we began to unravel the years we hadn’t met in the past. What happened since the last birthday party, what you’ve been through, and so on.
“Come to think of it, what kind of fruit are you, Bellion?”
“me? I am an art major.”
“Oh, yes? I know someone there. It’s Aria… … .”
As the story bloomed, Bellion naturally gauged Kyle’s state. He was still an Auror user, but the Imperial Family’s Auror Breathing and Magic Training Methods he learned made this possible.
‘… … I can not see?’
5 years ago from now. Bellion could feel the intense aura flowing from Kyle’s body. Although her body was still young, she said that the aura flowing inside her body was not inferior to other knights of the imperial family.
It was the same 5 years ago, but I firmly believed that 5 years later, now, it would be incomparably superior to then.
But strangely, I couldn’t feel even a handful of aura from Kyle’s body. Like someone who hasn’t mastered the aura.
Since it was impossible in reality, Bellion carefully asked Kyle.
“Kyle, maybe… … Have you ever had an accident?”
“yes? what accident?”
“An enemy who was seriously injured or almost died.”
“I wasn’t.”
Upon hearing that, Bellion looked at him in disbelief. However, no matter how much he looked at it, Kyle couldn’t recall the incident that almost killed him.
If so, there was a high probability that he hadn’t lost his aura. More than anything else—— his attendant said that Kyle received a perfect score for Gawain’s skill, which no one had ever received before.
There was a high possibility that he still had that overwhelming ability.
“Come to think of it—I heard there was an accident during class today.”
“Eh? I?”
“yes. what did he say… … A man who can’t even cook cup noodles?”
“Oh, that’s not me—”
Bellion was convinced as he listened to Kyle’s heroic story that followed.
He didn’t lose his aura.
He couldn’t read his aura himself.
And there was only one possible number of cases.
‘No way.’
There was an adage that what remained after the impossible was true no matter how hard it was to believe, but Bellion couldn’t believe this possibility right now.
‘master… … Called?’
Bellion couldn’t believe that his best friend had reached the level of a Master.
That would be too.
“hahahaha!”
Seeing such an innocent and stupid expression, I couldn’t believe that he was hiding the fact that he was such a strong person.
‘I guess not… … .’
