Chapter 204

"Whoops. Whoops. Whoosh. Whoosh."

The first thing I saw when I walked into the classroom that morning was not a pretty sight.

Jin-woo was warming up with dumbbells at one side of the classroom.

"Ah! Boss is here?!"

When he spotted me, his face lit up like a puppy seeing its owner back home.

"what are you doing?"

"Huh? Ah, training."

"No, why are you doing that in the classroom?" LaTest novels at novelhall.com

"Uhjust?"

Yeah, I don't know why you're doing this.

Unlike Jin-woo, Young-jae sat quietly at his desk, trying to catch his breath.

I'd rather have him running simulations in his head like that.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"Huh?"

Young-jae's legs moved eagerly under the desk.

He has what appears to be a pouch hanging from it.

"What's he doing?"

"He said it's lower body day today."

Wow, my kids are really becoming fitness freaks. How do they all do things that I don't expect?

"Well, at least we're in good shape, boss. Look."

"Huh?"

Jin-woo pointed out the window, and when I looked in the direction he was pointing, I saw a light blue-haired girl swinging a sword furiously in the middle of the playground.

"Choi Yeon?"

"We've been doing this for a while, but she's been doing it since morning."

"Yeah. Still, I could have predicted her behavior.

She's always been that way.

Still, seeing the kids prepare so diligently made me feel a little reassured.

Right now, Jin-woo is the only one who talks about everything that bothers him.

"I bet my entire fortune on me winning, with a 5 minute handicap! The odds are 5x! I have to overpower!"

* * *

The first match is Young-jae's turn.

Next to him, Jin-woos match was being prepared.

His opponent was the Icebreaker, a small group of mages who used frost magic, and there were a total of four of them in this match.

The party consisted of two members and two mercenaries.

"I heard a rumor that the people from that club are preparing to transition to a martial arts club, do you think Young-jae can beat them?"

Holding a bag of popcorn, Se-ah stared at the monitor illuminating the training room.

"There's no way a mage who trains his lower body can lose."

And Choi Yeon, who shares her popcorn with her.

"That's right, because a strength mage is the truth!"

"Yeah. The truth of the world is power."

They nodded in agreement, as if they'd never been so in sync.

One against four.

The odds on the betting club next door were 3:1.

"What the hell?!"

"What the hell are you doing? Wake them up! Get your magic shields up and wake up the mercenaries!"

But the mages, who had basic magic resistance, struggled on and began to gather magic power at the tip of their staffs.

They had to wake the sleeping mercenaries while defending themselves against Young-jaes attack.

"If you're going to put up a shield, it should be a physical defense, not a magical one."

Like an elk suddenly bursting out of the fog, Young-jae burst through the iridescent haze in an instant and threw a fist with all his might at the mage's face.

Thanks to this, the magic shield was easily pierced.

With a loud bang, the one who was hit in the face is sent flying backwards, while the other one looks at Young-jae with a shocked expression.

"Doesn't your club have any normal mages?"

"What do you mean?"

In response, Young-jae takes out a fountain pen and points it at the guy.

"A healthy mind comes from a healthy bodythat's the trend these days."

The tip of the fountain pen is energized, a crimson fireball is released, and the match ends in an instant.

-This is what I mean by a battle of different levels'! Cadet Kim ended the match in an unimaginable way and in an instant! As you can see, if you try to defend against magic just to conserve your magic, you might get caught like that, so if you haven't figured out your opponent's position, let's all start with shields first!

As expected, the D-class mercenaries were no match for him.

At the end of the duel, Young-jae wiped the sweat from his face and left the dueling room.

"Wow, that was tough. The president was right. They have no idea how to deal with our new techniques."

"Right?"

And another advantage for us.

We'll be able to know the enemy's strength before they do, and we'll be able to send people accordingly, and their information on us is pretty limited'.

"I was counting on you, Young-jae, tonight's dinner is beef!"

And as it turned out, the kids who bet on Young-jae were happy.

-Ah, while we're at it, what's going on in the next room? Let's watch Domino's match with Jin-woo Bevalt from Familia!

I hug Young-jae and rejoice for a moment.

-Ahhhhh? Huh?

The panicked commentator's voice comes over the loudspeakers in the arena.

-Domino club used wind magic, but for some reason, the wind seems to be attacking Domino's side? Ah! Jin-woo, just entered the center of the formation! It's as if the wind is consciously helping Jin-woo!

In the midst of the heated commentary, Young-jae, who looks like he's just finished betting, looks up at the monitor.

"Jin-woo is still the same."

"Yeah, even though he looks so fussy and lighthearted in class."

Because he's the second strongest in our club, after Choi Yeon.

-Ah! A match over in a flash! In less than five minutes, the Domino side has been wiped out! In the middle of it all, only student Jin-woo, with cuts all over his body, is standing alone!

At the same time, the monitor captures Jin-woo on his knees, screaming at the sky.

-Student Jin-woo is screaming to the heavens with tears streaming down his face! What does that mean? Is it his guilt for taking down his classmates with his own hands? Or is it a lament for his own skill? A mystery indeed!

No, that's not it.

"Isn't he afraid he's going to get stabbed by Han Yeo-eun?"

"I think so."

"I guess so."

At least 10 visible stab wounds.

At the same time, I imagined Jin-woo as a bloody doll in my head.

R.I.P

Anyway, this leaves us with our club's secret weapon, the first-year's runner-up.

-At last! Once the strongest in the academy, now the vice president of Familia. The heir to the Choi Sword Family and granddaughter of the Sword Saint! The noble lily of the academy, according to the boys!

Choi Yeon!
