[ Episode 194. Emperor]

A spring tournament in which Rodlen’s sophomore trio will participate for the first time.



Of course, I knew everything about the schedule as well as what was happening.

And, as far as I know, the emperor has never been involved.

Chaekang!

“Eulyaap!”

I’m sorry for the opponent who was swinging the sword with a spirit, but my nerves were all focused on the emperor who was supposed to be here somewhere.

I can’t even see him in the VIP seat, so I don’t know where he’s spying.

“This is my swordsmanship!”

Fuck!

“Oops!”

Without giving up, I just blew the opponent away.

I knew the other person was a senior from the Faculty of Engineering, but he wasn’t particularly impressed because he was an extra who would have been killed by Vivian if he was the same.

“Su the winner! Red Corner Adrias Cromwell!”

Unlike last year’s final, the tournament ended in a bland manner and returned to the players’ waiting room following the moderator’s progress.

Sooner or later, the emperor will appear with the awards ceremony.

“great job. Congratulations on winning.”

“thank you.”

Vivian, who was waiting in advance, waved at me.

She withdrew from me, but in the 3rd and 4th place match, she overpowered her opponent and took 3rd place.

“Big. It was a good fight.”

An extra named Mahomed, who had received treatment belatedly, sat down with an uncomfortable body.

I was really lucky that this guy was the runner-up.

Diane, who had a bad matchup, must be watching from the stands because she met me and lost in the quarterfinals.

“Winners, disarm all your weapons and prepare to come out. The awards ceremony will begin soon.”

“All right!”

As if he had never groaned before, Mahomed answered energetically.

Being runner-up in the Rodlen Academy Tournament is an honor for the family that will never come again.

“Adrias.”

“yes.”

“Are you nervous?”

I raised my hand and touched my face.

Did you get tea?

“are you okay. No problem.”

Vivian spoke to me as if hypnotized.

At her words, I nodded.

“yes. it’s okay. thank you.”

“huh. Adrias is fine.”

Soon, the host called us with a nervous look.

He looked fine until just now, but looking at his hardened expression, it seems that he has now heard that the presenter also has an emperor.

When they came out, a podium was prepared in the arena.

It was a long, high podium connected to the VIP seats, but numerous students were still watching the awards ceremony without leaving their seats.

“You waited a long time. Now, let’s start the awards ceremony for the 59th Spring Tournament!”

The audience cheered in line with the moderator’s words.

While the Emperor hadn’t shown up yet, as we stood on the podium, Deos, the principal, appeared with staff holding plaques and trophies.

“The long history of the Rodlene Academy Spring Tournament has come to an end...”

Even as the emperor waited, the stubborn speech began.

Rather, it was awkward to talk longer than usual, I don’t know why, but it was probably because of the emperor.

“...Today, a special person came in person. He is the Emperor, the owner and ruler of this academy as well as the empire.”

“Emperor?”

“Your Majesty came?”

The sudden words of Deos caused a commotion in the surroundings.

And at the same time, someone who seemed to be the emperor appeared.

“His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!”

“Are you really your Majesty?”

Everyone got down on one knee and bowed their heads.

No one dared to look directly at the emperor.

“Wake up.”

A quiet voice that everyone can hear.

The majesty of the absolute underlying it was subtle.

As the people stood up, the emperor, who pretended to sit down, opened his mouth again.

“You don’t like being my knight, by any chance?”

The sound of gasping came from the surroundings in successive attacks.

If you leave this as it is, will you be able to say something?

“your majesty. To tell you the truth, I received a favor from my ancestors.”

“From Kane?”

The emperor’s eyes widened.

Any response coming?

“That’s right. It is very difficult to belong anywhere, even for him.”

“What is your request?”

“It was a request to bring back the Cromwell estate owned by our family.”

The emperor was silent for a moment, probably not expecting my words.

Then, he nodded and spoke immediately.

“Then I can’t help it. Is it important to keep the promise to the ancestors...”

He must be pounding the calculator in his head.

My words should have given you the impression that something was hidden in Cromwell’s estate.

At the same time, it also indirectly informed me that I still had no original sin.

Since Cromwell’s manor is clearly under the direct control of the emperor, if I had visited it, there would have been a record of it already, and I hadn’t visited Cromwell even once recently.

Perhaps, as soon as he returned, he would tell him to search all over Cromwell?

“Because I was the winner, the story got longer. I hope you continue to work hard for our Rodelene.”

“I will.”

The emperor gave a fairly large gift of plaques, trophies and prizes and withdrew.

A big gift was nothing other than a name-class item.

[Metene’s Starlight]

[Can summon ‘Metene’s Starlight’ once a year]

[The wearer is not poisoned at all times]

[Sleep efficiency doubled]

It seemed a bit insignificant for a named item, but I The active ability was a fraud.

[Metene’s Starlight: Among the targets the wearer has met, summons those who are willing to respond to the summon to their side.] It was an

open fire skill that could erase the concept of space by consuming only mana.

Although it was limited to only once a year, there is nothing better than this in case of an emergency.

I was just about to go home, but I got a nice present for Amy.

“It looks like you came from another kingdom, so I hope you enjoy it.”

After that, the emperor disappeared while being escorted and attended to.

In the end, I didn’t know what the exact purpose was, but let’s put the significance of meeting him.

Do you think it’s surprisingly worth doing?

‘Anyway, as time goes by, a scenario that is too much for one country to handle proceeds. The power of the empire weakens a lot then.’

Come to think of it, the emperor could be involved in all of these things.

Then you weaken the power of the Empire with your own hands.

After all, the emperor is also an insane person.

**

Kwajik!

What was supposed to be someone’s head exploded at once.

The man who stepped on that head was a naked warrior with tattoos all over his body.

“I won!”

The man raised his ax and shouted vigorously, and the nearby warriors of similar appearance shouted together.

“Victory!”

“Hahahaha!”

The place where they are is a stronghold of rugged terrain.

And those who moved alive were only those whom the people of the continent called savages.

It was the final gateway to the north and called the Gorge of Wailing, and the last fortress that had absolutely blocked outside invasions had collapsed in vain.

It was a surprising situation for an empire that had just finished recruiting.

The problem was that it only took a few days for the fortress to be breached.

“thanks.”

Kanyak, the vanguard who penetrated the fortress, spoke to someone.

A figure with a black robe overturned and a huge cone-shaped hat covering his face.

Anyone can see that it was a black magician.

“The Empire is also our enemy. You don’t have to thank me.”

“Hehe. yes. Then let’s keep working together.”

At Kanyak’s words, Jester, wearing a cone, spoke.

“sure. Everything according to our plan.”
