Chapter 55
TL-Mechatronic
“Tournament?”
Nina looked up as she washed away her sweat by the well. When Jean handed over the towel, she wiped off the water with a towel.
“What tournament?”
“You really don’t know?”
Jean asked in surprise, and she nodded her head. “Ebensel Tournament, which selects the best knights of the Empire.”
Jean clicked his tongue when Nina still looked at him with eyes that meant “What is that?”
“Empire or kingdom, any official knights can participate. There’s a team match and an individual match.”
“There was such a thing. Oh, I think I heard about it.”,
It seems like I’ve heard stories of the maids talking about it in the past. Didn’t they say that the Duchy of Luverne no longer participated in the tournament?
“You heard it. Of course, you heard it.”
It’s the most popular Tournament in the Empire!
The popularity of the Knights in the Empire was unmatched, and its climax was the imperial tournament held by the Ebensel Imperial Family.
And since its structure is based on ranks, everyone was bound to be enthusiastic.
“In addition, the Knights who will win first could bear the red flag background and they can use gold thread on it.”
It allows red flags and gold threads that can only be used by the royal family.
“That’s all?”
“That’s all?! you’re really something.”
Nina smiled lightly as Jean frowned.
“Isn’t there anything better?”
“There is.”
“What?”
“1000 big gold coins.”
I”
Nina’s eyes sparkled while Jean said, “Money is not important. The most important is honor-“, but it didn’t come into Nina’s ears.
‘A thousand big gold coins.’
One large gold coin is the amount that commoners use to live for three months. They can wipe out all their urgent issues with that.
“When is it going to open? How do you participate?”
“It’s held once every five years. We still have a long way to go.”
“Too bad.”
Nina breathed out a sigh, saying, “What’s the use of it if I can’t get the reward money right now?”
“Your words are so…..”
Jean was about to start nagging, so Nina said, hurriedly leaving the well.
“Charlotte, what’s going on?”
Charlotte, who was snooping at the end over there, blushed and approached. Jean quickly changed his face to a faithful deputy.
“May I ask you for a Duel?” “Of course.”
A child with a sense of improvement is good, and Nina laughed. Nina said as they went out to the training field.
“How many players do you need for the Ebensel Tournament?”
Jean replied politely.
“Five people.”
“Really? Hmm.”
That’s just perfect, and Nina nodded. Due to her hard, training, the members of the Dark Knights who were scattered on the ground of the training field struggled to get up when they saw Nina.
The two fastest rising people were kell and Raja, and as anyone could see Charlotte was walking just fine.
“I’ve decided who’s going to go.”
Nina smiled. Jean breathed a sigh and bowed his head. “Of course you did.”
Nina, who giggled, tapped Jean’s side with her elbow and called Charlotte cheerfully. After a while, Charlotte, who finished the sparring, fell flat on the floor. Nina, flicked her sword and said.
“Charlotte, take a look.”
Nina took a breath and stood in an initial stance, soon she began to reproduce the same attack method that Charlotte showed. Charlotte opened her eyes, Jean bit his lips so he wouldn’t open his mouth, the rest of the knights were also open-mouthed.
The shape of the footsteps on the floor, the sword moving, the shape of swinging the sword, the posture, everything was the same.
“Do you understand? What’s wrong here.”
Charlotte nodded blankly at Nina’s words.
“If you fix this part, it’ll be much better. Good job, Charlotte.”
Nina patted her on the head and put the wooden sword, back in place. When she left, the knights stretched out to the floor and shouted.
“Wah, what was that? Did you see that? Crazy. Isn’t our Commander really crazy?”
“I don’t think she’s human. Ah, it really looked like we were seeing Charlotte there.”
“I got goosebumps. I got goosebumps even on my back Look.”
“How could she do that? How is it possible? She didn’t even observe her from the side, she was fighting with her the whole time!”
“As expected, our leader is not a human being…… She’s like…… Like…. Wow……”
“Amazing…….”
Charlotte murmured while her eyes were shining like stars. Jean wanted to say that he had the same feelings as them, but unfortunately, he was a deputy.
“Don’t lie down, wash up, and tidy your appearance.”
It is his job to be disciplined, but he also thought to himself.
“I’ll have to ask her to show me that later.
Nina went straight up to Adrian’s office.
“Young master, are you accepting applications for an audience?”
At her words, Adrian smirked and gestured to her to come in.
“What’s the contents of the request?”
When he asked, Nina shrugged.
“Because you seem to be busy these days.”
Adrian bent his chin.
“Isn’t Nina busy?” She opened her eyes and approached with a smile. “You haven’t played much lately, have you?” “Because Nina’s busy.”
“That’s because you’re busy.”
“I heard you brought Pocco the transparent fruit?”
“Yes, I heard there was not enough firepower to melt Sage Steel.” “I’d better change that name. It doesn’t match when you look at the dried fruit.”
“Then, since it’s white, let’s go with white charcoal.”
“That’s fine.”
At that time, the door opened without hesitation with the sound of knocking on the door. There was only one person that could do this besides Nina.
“Kirill?”
Nina turned around and Kirill said to her.
“Come with me for a second.”
Nina turned to Adrian and he beckoned in recognition She went around the desk and hugged him once and then walked out along Kirill in a row.
He looked at the closed door and closed his eyes.
Kirill briefly explained the matter to Nina.
“Take him out and get some fresh air.”
Him?
Nina, who was gawking, knew that Kirill was talking about Randell.
“Why? What happened?”
“We’ve only been researching so far, what if it breaks? People sometimes have to get some air.”
Tsk. Kirill clicked her tongue.
“If it breaks like that, wouldn’t it become a big deal? want to use it for a long time, so it needs to be oiled right.”
“No, but… He’s a human not a tool…….”
“And you’re good at that, aren’t you?”
When Kirill said, Nina asked back, “Oh, really?”
“Yes, something like that.”
“What’s with that?”
“Relaxing people.”
“Uh…… Thank you……?”
“I didn’t compliment you, so you don’t have to thank me. Anyway, go get some fresh air.”
Nina nodded at her words.
That’s not hard.
Inside the lab, chaos that could not be found in the previous days was seen.
‘Wow….. Now I know why Kirill asked me to take him
out.
Nina called him carefully.
“Sieur Randell?”
It wasn’t until after a few calls that Randell raised his head in surprise. He stood up and asked.
“What’s the matter? Kirill isn’t here right now…….”
“No, I’m here to see Sieur Randell.” “Me?”
“Yes, aren’t you frustrated since you’ve only been researching? Why don’t you go to the village town below the castle with me?”
At Nina’s suggestion, Randell opened his eyes wide. For a moment, the question, “Did you get permission from the Duke?” almost popped up.
“All right.”
Instead, he answered quickly.
“Okay, I’ll see you at the entrance in 30 minutes after change.”
At her words, Randell nodded.
