Became a Childhood Friend of an Academy Genius

8 – Dalian

Elisha was having a leisurely tea time with the warm sunlight after finishing her meal quickly.

This spacious terrace, which can only be used by Class A cadets, is very satisfying with the view outside, and above all, I liked that I could not be disturbed by others.

As she tilted her teacup like that, she heard little by little the voices of the other class A cadets on the terrace.

At first, she thought it was just white noise and closed her eyes, but she gradually listened to the content of the voice.

“Did you hear that? Right now, the two class B cadets and the E class cadets are going to fight?”

“What? Class B and Class E? Did you get into trouble?”

“No, they wanted to hear it, so the B class cadet first asked the E class cadet to practice sparring.”

“Does that make sense? Class B says they have something to learn from class E, so they apply for sparring?”

Elisha, who heard the voice of the two people, unconsciously nodded her head.

Exactly as he said.

In the first place, sparring is not a system created for the strong to unilaterally persecute the weak, but a mock battle held when cadets decide they have something to learn from each other.

Therefore, this sparring usually takes place between cadets belonging to the same class, or at least one level different from each other.

But, a sparring between class B and class E cadets.

That’s a composition that hardly works unless one side starts a fight in the name of sparring.

Even the class B cadets applied for sparring first, so Elisha was also curious about the whole story.

“Anyway, all the other classmates are going to see it now. Maybe it’s because the E class cadet is the rumored guy.”

“That guy…. Who?”

“Why is that? A commoner who told the examiner that he came in because he messed up.”

Flinched.

Listening to her story, Elisha’s ears perked up and her shoulders trembled slightly.

She had heard that rumor as well. She

And she knows who it means.

There is no way you don’t know.

She was the one who was present at the time he was notified of his acceptance.

‘So you’re saying that man is competing with someone?’

When she thought that far, Elisha got up from her seat as if she had nothing to look at.

At this, Kelsey, who was standing next to her, opened her eyes wide for an instant.

However, that was only for a while.

She guessed the reason based on the story she had just heard, and silently began to put away the tea cups and bowls.

It can be said that it is a specimen of a capable breeder who can understand what the owner is saying even if he does not speak.

“You want to go? Miss.”

“Okay, I’ll be back. It’s okay if you don’t follow me.”

“Okay. Please go carefully.”

Leaving behind Kelsey, who bent her back towards herself, Elisha quickly stepped out onto her terrace.

According to the story a little while ago, sparring will be held at the 1st gymnasium, she said.

It may have already been over, but just in case, Elisha moved on with her breathlessness.

Because you can see her man’s battle right in front of her that she most wanted to check her skills.

“1 Gymnasium, 1 Gymnasium….”

Since it was her first day of school, she didn’t know the details of her route either, so she first checked the map of her academy’s grounds that she found in the hallway.

An annex next to the main building.

Fortunately, it’s not too far away.

Arriving on the first floor, she ran to the annex where the gymnasium was located without stopping her steps.

As she approached, murmurs of voices could be heard from all over the place, and quite a few cadets could be seen entering her.

Most of her freshmen came to her after hearing rumors like her.

“Ha ha ha….”

1 Arriving in front of what was written as the gymnasium, she caught her breath and looked around at the crowds gathered around her.

Maybe it was because most of them were still eating lunch, so there weren’t too many of them.

“Did Princess Crozel come too?”

“It must have been that he wanted to see the one who lowered the dignity of the academy suffer.”

“If the opponent in the match between class B and class E is a commoner, the result is already out.”

Unreasonable noises could be heard around her, but she didn’t express herself and moved toward the glass window, which was like a spectator’s seat.

The surroundings were all made of windows, so the scene inside the training room was clearly visible.

Standing inside is a supervisory professor and two male students in preparation for an unfortunate event that will happen in Dalian.

The face of the one on the right was the same man Elisha faced.

Prof. Bremen, the supervisor of Dalian, approached between the two opposing people standing on both sides, straightened his glasses with his fingers and began to recite a few requests.

“It is possible to use weapons and magic during sparring. However, if the battle intensifies to the point of endangering each other’s lives, the overseer will step in immediately, so be aware of this. If either side does not declare surrender and the sparring is prolonged, the supervisor’s judgment may determine victory or defeat. Got it?”

“Yes.”

“Okay.”

The voices of the two cadets rang out simultaneously and the supervisor stepped back.

At the same time, the two men straightened their postures by firmly gripping the spears and swords in their respective hands.

“Good. Start!”

The overseer’s hand moved from top to bottom, and sparks flew in the air.

Chaeeng!

‘It’s fast.’

Elisha, who was watching the scene with her arms crossed, showed a calm look on the outside, but on the inside, she was overestimating the sum that had just been played.

That man named Pareon wielded a huge long spear, but it was quite fast.

It must mean that she has considerable physical strength, as if to prove that she did not develop her sloppy muscles for show off.

Meanwhile, Bell, who had easily blocked the blow earlier, was also formidable.

Usually, in a confrontation between a spear and a sword, the spear has the upper hand in distance measurement and power versus power, and the sword has the upper hand in other irregular movements and speed.

That’s why it wasn’t strange if the attack from earlier was a normal swordsman, even if he had to step back.

However, he responded with strength to strength and showed the appearance of completely blocking the attack from the front.

As if to say that there is no weapon superiority.

“Huh!”

Pareon, taking this as a provocation, leaped from his seat and shot his long spear down.

Unlike swords and swords, most attacks with spears are more focused on stabbing than on swords, but if you have this level of physical strength, it is possible to change the method irregularly.

It is literally using a spear like a blunt weapon.

‘Even if I avoid it, I won’t give it a chance.’

In this state, Bell’s only option is to evade.

Therefore, Pareon focused on the opponent’s legs even while taking into account the next move.

Even if there is a slight delay in evasion here, I will use the advantage of the long spear to pursue him who is trying to get out of range.

That was the mindset.

Kaang!

“!?”

But that thought didn’t last long.

Bell blocked his attack from the front with both hands holding his sword.

The screams of steel colliding with iron resonated outside the training room.

“What is it, blocking that?”

“Extraordinarily nervous just by blocking one attack. You should avoid that in the first place, why are you blocking it?”

“My words. It would be beneficial to avoid such a big attack and just take a counterattack.”

Surprise stunned the eyes of the cadets watching this, but most quickly turned into ridicule.

As if they were sparring, Elisha let out a small sigh at the sight of them chattering about all sorts of lessons.

‘They’re like stupid people.’

From Elisha’s point of view, the previous attack was a good move by Pareon.

Just looking at his agility and strength, if Bell had dodged just a little awkwardly, he would have created a gap rather than opened up a gap and took a counterattack.

Of course, it might be difficult in a match between swordsmen of the same type, but considering that long spear and his ability to wield it as lightly as a sword, it was quite possible.

In other words, from Bell’s point of view, it means that Lee Ji-sunda, the worst option, was presented.

It will be impossible to block it, so avoid it. But I won’t give you any time to spare after avoiding it. This means.

However, Bell laughed lightly at it and blocked the attack without much difficulty.

Moreover, even the act of blocking it was not something to be taken lightly from Elisha’s point of view.

Although cadets who have not reached a certain level may not be able to see it with the naked eye, it is clearly visible to Elisha.

The blue magic that surrounds Pareon’s body right now.

On the other hand, Bell’s body didn’t even feel any magic power.

In other words, it means that with pure brute force, they are fighting on an equal footing against a warrior whose body has been strengthened with magical power.

It is the same combat method as the sword castle that has only been passed down in legends of the past.

‘Am I correct?’

Her eyes narrowed even more as the doubts stemming from the conversation she had with Kelsey a while ago rose again.

There’s nothing she can’t do if she’s told to deal with it in a similar way, but that’s a story when it’s relatively sewage.

That means that the skill of her man, whom she cares about, is superior to that of her spearman.

A man of that size suddenly appears at the academy without family or reputation?

It is difficult for her to understand easily based on her common sense.

Unless he deliberately hid his existence for some reason.

Catch up!

It was a matter of an instant that the balance of power collapsed without collapsing to either side.

The bell, which had been swept away as if cutting off her spearhead with the blade of a sword, circled around her body to the left of her, narrowly avoiding the tip of her spear and escaping from her seat.

Pareon, who was loaded with her strength and weight, couldn’t react at the moment.

She must have blamed it on the shock of being able to easily block the blow that she thought was an attack of conversion just a moment ago.

Her weight fell off balance as the obstacle in her way disappeared.

Accordingly, Pareon’s new weapon naturally moved forward, and taking advantage of that gap, Bell grabbed his opponent’s back and thrust his sword forward.

However, Pareon was also not easy.

Even in the midst of collapsing, he tried to block the blow by maintaining the balance as much as possible and erecting a spear pole.

Everyone was swallowing saliva while waiting for the results.

Dalian faced an unexpected end.

“That’s it.”

Professor Bremen, who got in between the two, blocked Bell’s blade with two fingers.

The cadets who were watching the scene were dumbfounded and opened their mouths in a daze.

He looked at the two of them alternately, had them retrieve Bell’s sword first, then grabbed his hand and lifted it up.

“Under the supervisor’s judgment, the winner of this sparring will be decided by Bel Dinaur.”

At his proclamation that followed, a buzz grew among the cadets.

It’s true that Bell was aiming for the rear properly and attacked, but I wondered if it was possible to decide the winner so lightly with just that alone.

Of course, that was only a superficial reason, and it was because I felt sorry for not being able to see the commoner, the main character of the rumor, being brutally beaten.

Among those in the crowd, there was only one person who felt it was right, Elisha.

‘There is no need to shed blood for no reason. He’s a supervisor after all.’

Even though Amman Pareon tried to stop her by raising her spear, it was a lost battle in her eyes.

Even if it was blocked there, it would have been difficult to evade or block the second attack when it had already lost its balance.

Of course, it’s not uncommon for each other to get hurt in Dalian, but even from a third person’s point of view, there’s no need to continue fighting that has come to an end.

“Do you have any objections? Cadet Pareon Glet.”

“… Doesn’t exist.”

Pareon also completely surrendered to the results.

Still feeling regretful, the way he lowered his head was a part that showed how much his fighting spirit was even from a third person’s point of view.

With that being said, the winner was decided, and the murmurs around them only grew louder.

From the first day of admission, there was a small disturbance inside the academy.
