chapter 11
Episode 11 Entrance Examination (End)
The plains were overflowing with blood and flesh.
This virtual world brought the brutality of the war as it is.
Poo-wook.
A man with a nonchalant expression pulls out the sword that was inserted into the heart of the knight.
At the same time, the body pushes with its feet.
Puffed up.
Another few articles have fallen.
It’s only been 10 minutes since he appeared on this battlefield.
In that short amount of time, the veteran Imperial Army, which blocked the 3rd wave, was almost completely annihilated.
His gaze turns to a girl.
“You are of noble blood.”
As if to prove the lineage of the Robero Empire, a blonde haired girl with golden eyes was looking at the man with eyes that were not yet broken.
“Hoo-wook… Whoop… “
That girl, no. It might be right to call her a woman.
Ezebet covered the pouring intestines with her other hand.
One strand. Blood dripped from her eyes.
Short black hair.
Innumerable scars embroidered the well-developed upper body.
The man with the not-so-special look is a face she has seen before.
Not directly, but through history books.
300 Years ago, Tiaran, the great chieftain of the horse race.
A calamity reigned in fear of the imperial people.
And… More than anything.
Master.
His existence was nothing more than a fiction created by the virtual world, but his status as a master was not at a level that Erzebet could touch.
“I see… Is it still far?”
A monologue flowed calmly from Elizabeth’s mouth.
I felt like I knew exactly where I was.
Whether the level is 1st or 9th, unless you become a master, you will die helplessly on the battlefield.
Unless you are a Master, you cannot fight against a Master.
It was a simple truth indeed.
“Even so… You can’t let a savage take her mother’s heart.”
She seemed detached.
Then he raised the remaining magic power and moved the immobile tip of the sword.
Poo-wook.
My sword pierced my heart.
With the burning pain, my vision became blurry, and to my surprise, something similar to a kaleidoscope passed by.
As a child, she thought I was a genius.
She met a boy who was worse than herself.
‘Eugene.’
When rumors spread that he had fallen.
I tilted my head every time.
Because it was believed that the man she saw would never fall.
And I was satisfied the moment I heard the information my escort driver asked for.
Because I realized he was about to fly.
I was happy.
I realized why I was happy.
Rival.
‘Yes, he is my rival.’
When he was young, his existence itself was fuel to him.
And. One more time.
I was vaguely certain that my rival would be in a higher place than this.
‘I’ll lose this time.’
But rather, it felt like a pleasure.
Ezebet closed her eyes.
I forgot.
“You worked hard. Her Highness the Princess.”
When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a capsule.
* * *
“Even so… You can’t let a savage take your heart.”
The test video of the princess, Elizabeth, was exciting.
It’s entirely because of Elizabeth’s presence that fills the screen.
And if this is a movie, the highlight is now.
Poo-wook.
The scene where Elizabeth stabs herself with a sword at the end of her monologue.
“… !”
I could read Elizabeth’s thoughts.
She mobilized all her abilities to deal with the Master. She
She finally got to the point where she couldn’t move her body and chose to commit suicide.
If it were Elizabeth, she would have made the same choice even if it was real and not a virtual world.
A woman with a terribly stubborn side.
It was like that in the original work, and it was also like that when I was young.
The stubbornness of her childhood is overlaid with her current appearance.
The outstanding white color has not gone anywhere, and rather than that, its exceptional ability stands out.
A first-class knight.
Will there be a thousand people in an empire that exceeds a billion?
Since he achieved that at such a young age, he must be called a recognized genius.
Of course, to be honest, I can’t compare my skills to the Master.
Rather than bragging, that’s the truth.
Anyway.
‘You grew up well.’
Wagjak-. Wow-.
“Ahahahahaha! Will Her Highness answer? You can’t give your heart to a savage?”
Isabella, who was chewing popcorn next to me, gave her impressions while giggling.
For a president, that seems like a pretty frivolous action.
First of all, it’s the way you dress.
“…… “
“Huh~ I think our princess would have acted the same way if that was real. It’s fun, it’s fun.”
Apart from being frivolous, I agree with her to a large extent.
This video will work even if it is made into a movie.
Thanks to Elizabeth’s presence that completely fills the screen.
It’s something I’ve felt for a long time, but she has the magic to hold people’s attention.
“Yoo Jin-ah. What do you think?”
Do you have anything to ask?
“I am an Elizabethan.”
“Pahahahaha! I am also an Elizabethan. Had I held out for two more minutes, the result would have been different, right?”
What are you talking about?
“What do you mean?”
“If you hold on to Master for 15 minutes, you will get a score close to perfect. That’s why there hasn’t been a single person with a perfect score in the entrance exam.”
Ah. It was about s*xuality.
It’s said that if you hold out against the master for 15 minutes, you get a perfect score.
This is a new fact.
There was no way I could know the details of how the Academy measures scores, and I wasn’t very interested.
According to what I said, Elizabeth lasted 13 minutes…
‘That’s amazing.’
As expected, in terms of willpower rather than ability.
Unlike her and me, that warchief must have been an overwhelming force for her.
If it were me, would she have been able to stand 13 minutes in front of an overwhelming force?
It’s something you have to know, but it never felt easy.
“Huh~ You don’t have much inspiration, do you? Isn’t that just enough to look at with the eyes of a genius?”
You keep getting wet? It drives me in a strange direction.
“No.”
I acknowledge Elizabeth’s talent.
Unlike me, who had the privilege of being a reincarnated person, it would be more correct to say that Erzebet is a pure genius.
That’s not to disparage my 20 years of hard work though.
“Ahahahaha! Is our Eugene chic?”
It’s not chic, it’s prickly.
Isabella has a knack for making people harsh.
Even now, my eyes are on her breasts? Noticed she was going coy? I was also playing around.
“President. Will you pay attention to your clothes in the future? I don’t know where to put my eyes.”
“Ahahahaha! For some reason, you said that you secretly peeked between your sister’s legs without watching the video~ That’s the age, that’s the age.”
“I’m sorry, haven’t you?”
I just kept changing the direction of the twisted legs, so my eyes went to her.
“My Eugene… Did your face turn red? Do you mind if I lie?”
“…… “
I was speechless with embarrassment.
‘You’re a meme… ?’
I’m not even a kid. The word choice is really… Are you crazy?
“Just get off work, aunt. It’s hard to play with.”
“Ah~ Is our Eugene upset?”
“Why ‘our’ Eugene?”
“Huh? Are you my student now?”
Really… This female praying mantis. Pretty shameless
“It’s not my student, it’s a ‘Legion’ student, but I have to put ‘scheduled’ in front of it.”
“Ah~ Skip the trivial stuff, skip it.”
He laughs and talks with a playful expression…
That’s it. Let’s not talk
Regardless of your age, trying to win a verbal fight with a woman is an act of losing weight.
I don’t know if it’s action.
But I have a question,
“Is it okay for the president to hang out here?”
“Yes. I have nothing to do?”
You ask me back as if it were natural.
Judging from the way he speaks, Shin Myung-man is the president of the academy… Is there anything different from white water?
From the outside, the supervisors, teaching assistants, and wizards all seemed busy, but there was a clear contrast.
What will they think when they see Isabella’s expression and tone now?
I don’t know, but the thought of being nasty will definitely be included.
“Let’s go! Since we had a light chat in the intermission, which group should we watch next? Ah! Do you want to see what our Louisa is doing?”
Ruinara…
“Surprisingly, it seems that you did some research on my relationships?”
“Huh? Of course~ But as the president, do I have to check the people of interest in advance?”
“What. You must be. Ruina passes.”
“Why? Aren’t you curious?”
“Yes.”
Honestly, I’m not curious.
Because it was predictable.
Besides, I think it would feel very frustrating to see her after seeing Elizabeth’s.
Rather than that…
“Look at Article 37. Isn’t Rossi from earlier also not a bad gemstone?”
“Right, right! Good idea! Are you smart, Eugene?”
“Can you help me with that commanding tone?”
Listening to it over and over again makes me feel like a real kid.
“Didn’t you like it? Then I won’t.”
But it’s a little bit sad that he said he won’t do it again.
“But it’s individuality, so I will respect it.”
“Hey~ Is Yujin a tsundere?”
Pak-.
As expected. This lady is not right with me.
* * *
I forgot.
When I opened my eyes, I was inside the capsule.
The familiar closed room.
“You worked hard. Eugene.”
Then, the teaching assistant who had shown me a strange smile came into my field of vision.
This man is a wizard.
“Wizard knows my name.”
“Of course. The president told me to pay special attention.”
“Ah.”
Her culprit was her.
She is the woman who sat in the castle and took voyeur pictures insinuatingly.
The test takers who went into the capsule together were still in the middle of the test.
A teaching assistant answers my gaze.
“There is a little variation in breaking. It will probably all be over in five minutes.”
“Aha. Can I go first?”
“Sure.”
He is a kind person.
I greeted him lightly and left the secret room.
The test is over.
From what Isabella whispered to me, it is certain that I will be the chief.
The percentage of points allocated is 5% for writing, 5% for practical work, and 90% for final practical work.
Looking at it like this, I wonder why I took the first two exams, but the first exam feels like checking the qualifications to take the final exam.
He also said that the second seat would be taken by the princess.
She also added that the score difference would be significant below that.
Anyway.
What will Ruina’s expression look like when she finds out about this?
I remember the way she coldly told me at that time.
“Of course. I fell in love with your skill, but if you don’t have it, it’s no different than a scam. Please do not resent me.”
No, that means the only thing I’ve seen in 20 years is that ‘skill’, right?
It pisses me off even thinking about it again.
