[Chapter 161]

[The One Who Opposes Noh Eun-ha]

The Academy Cultural Festival has begun.

As Noh Eun-ha made her name known in the industry, the number of visitors, which had been increasing every year, increased this year as well.

Among them, the program that showed the largest increase was the general category competition.

It wasn’t this far last year, so what is this?

What kind of finals day is it that all seats are sold out from the first day and additional broadcasting rooms are added?

In general, the popularity of general division competitions was not very high on the first day.

As a result, even though the seats were full, we were able to get tickets right before the event was held.

However, this year, not only were pre-bookings rushed even before the start of the event, but people who visited the academy just in time for the opening of the cultural festival even bought tickets for sale on the spot.

There were still three hours left before the first leg of the finals started, but it ran out quickly.

Last year, it was less.... This year, it’s really no joke. I just got a ticket too. It’s just scouts dying. The guys who couldn’t make a reservation in advance are probably dying buying tickets on the spot?

It seems that the popularity of the Noh Eun-ha division is no joke. If you look at what the general public knows. Ordinary people do not know much about the Noh Eun-ha division. I came here to see what he would do when he was a student for the last time, since < The Don't Do It > is graduating next year. Noh Eun-ha’s classmates are getting attention.

He hasn’t even debuted as a player, but he’s already this popular and he’s a real jerk.

Eunha Noh and Eunha Noh division.

This was the reason people, including ordinary people and industry officials, came to see the first day of the finals, which was virtually no different from the preliminaries.

Scouts from each clan stuck out their tongues when they saw the full seats.

Let’s see, then let’s see how far the rumored friends from < The Donanma > can go. Hey, out of Dalian today, which Dalian should you pay attention to?

This is the battle between 031st class Bae Su-bin and Hoshimiya Kaede. One of the two will probably face Unha Noh in the final match today.

I can see it.

30 minutes prior to the start of the general category competition.

The scouts who sat in their seats looked at today’s bracket and smiled.

Bae Su-bin and Hoshimiya Kaede.

A battle between Caster and Ranger.

Those in the know remembered Bae Soo-bin’s victory in the tournament the year before last.

That’s why-.

─Let’s see how much both of you have grown? Like last year, whether Caster will win, breaking our expectations, or...

Ranger will win.

Scouts from high-ranking clans who came to see the tournament from the first day to check the skills of Noh Eun-ha’s division all had the same idea.

So, in people’s expectations—.

[—From now on, we will start the general division competition.]

The general division competition has begun.

☆

I lost to Bae Su-bin the year before last.

That’s why I couldn’t lose again.

—Gently admit defeat. Even if we fight more here, nothing will change.

Hoshimiya Kaede...

At first, Bae Soo-bin had the upper hand.

Using the eyes of the mountain god, she drove Hoshimiya Kaede to the edge.

But that was also Kaede Hoshimiya’s plan.

Acting as if she was being attacked by Bae Su-bin, she set traps everywhere without her knowledge.

Did you do some research on me? No way, you tried to avoid my eyes by laying a magic formula under the ground...

Because even if you lose once, you can’t lose twice.

Of course, Subin’s mountain god’s eyes could have read the trap spell she had secretly set up.

That’s why she set traps in the ground where she wouldn’t be caught off guard and looked away.

So when the traps she set up formed a net that covered the entire arena.

She activated the trap and turned the tide of the battle.

yeah i’ll admit this I mean, I made a mistake by not considering the depth of the page.

If you’re going to admit it, go ahead and lose...

Subin was caught in a trap.

When she activated her magic, the area where the trap was installed exploded.

It was a very fatal trap for her as a caster.

Even so, Bae Soo-bin snorted.

But it ain’t over until I say I’ve lost Can you stop talking like a winner already?

What to do now...! If I can’t win then you can’t win either. Wherever I die, let you die too.

You can’t... you crazy bitch!

yes i’m crazy Crazy bitch to win. So why are you trying to beat me?

just do it

Bae Su-bin snapped his fingers.

In an instant, the magic that could not inflict any damage pulled the trap’s fuse.

Hoshimiya Kaede was the flagship.

Bae Su-bin laughed.

─Quack Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!!

The traps placed in the ground exploded all at once.

Kaede, who was with her while urging Subin to defeat, was not safe in the explosion.

Even so, Kaede used his wits and tried to minimize the damage as much as possible.

She drew the bowstring.

──It

was a race against time to pick stars.

Get eaten by the explosion.

Or will the trajectory soaring into the sky finally escape from the explosion?

...Kuh...!

Kaede entrusted herself to a method that was like gambling.

Fortunately, the gamble paid off.

She escaped the explosion instead of having her uniform scorched.

On the other hand, Bae Su-bin’s gamble—.

─Damn it...

If only one person had succeeded in gambling.

She gambled unsuccessfully.

As soon as Kaede ran away, Bae Su-bin hurriedly tried to stop the explosion using magic.

But her gamble failed and she fell to the floor.

[—The winner, Kaede Hoshimiya.]

Before long, the sound of the speaker was heard.

Hoshimiya Kaede turned her back on Bae Soo-bin, who was being carried away by supporters, and headed towards the entrance to the waiting room.

there was one person

“.......”

Noh Eun-ha.

Waiting for his next turn, he was looking at her.

She didn’t avert his eyes.

no i went to him

I wanted to stick with you once.

In her freshman year, she practiced with Onyang.

He tried to find a way to counter Eunha Noh against the dealer, Onyang.

To her, Noh Eun-ha was an opponent she wanted to fight at least once.

No, I was the one who wanted to prove it.

where- huh?

─Prove that you can have me.

what?

The other day, she promised Eunha that she would join the party he was making.

However, apart from the promise, she wanted to check Eunha’s skills in person.

He never wanted to be under someone weaker than himself.

That’s why she spat it out while passing the galaxy.

-See you later.

okay.

Noh Eun-ha responded.

☆

Because it was the final round, unlike the preliminary match, the Dalian opponent did not withdraw.

So Eunha also provided scouts with opportunities to demonstrate their skills for their opponents in Dalian.

[—The winner, Eunha Noh.]

Even so, Eunha won.

Eun-ha, who shook hands with her partner in Dalian, confirmed the situation of the other friends.

Except for Subin, everyone won. Subin was a bad opponent, but...

Except for Bae Soo-bin, the other friends would also compete on the second day of the tournament.

No one will be able to compete.

Kaede Hoshimiya.

Eunha was the opponent of today’s sparring match.

-Where did you ask me to prove that you can have me?

Papa?

Looking at it earlier, he was making a face that he would defeat me... I’m looking forward to seeing how strong he’ll become.

Eun-ha looked forward to sparring with her.

A prospect you want to recruit into your party.

I was very curious to see what kind of growth she would have achieved.

So time seemed to pass slowly—

─Are you okay? It looked like it was pretty injured.

This is nothing. you don’t have to worry about me

Time passed quickly.

Eunha came out to the arena and stood facing Kaede.

Glad then If you get injured and can’t fight properly, you can’t do it. All you have to show is to show

I’m going to show you everything, so just keep an eye on it with those eyes.

Catching the attention of the audience.

The two had a conversation.

I will deal with only one sword. can you still?

...Ok, fine. Even though I feel hurt, I have to admit the difference between your skills and mine. But then, after losing later, don’t make excuses.

Don’t worry because that won’t happen.

The galaxy soon pointed to a coldly blooming winter.

It was a handicap of its own.

I had no intention of using other devices or artifacts in this Dalian.

At that time, an arrow flew from the 9 o’clock position.

He belatedly felt the existence of the arrow and was sorry.

The moment she felt his presence.

Kaede quickly deflected the string and sent the arrow flying.

shhh!

Kaede, who could control the direction of the arrow, intentionally sent the arrow she had just shot far away.

Eunha came back while he was careless and set him on target.

Of course, it was nothing but carelessness.

Feeling a sense of crisis, the arrow she shot was very small.

But even a very small arrow was enough to make a gap for her to move.

—If you thought I only knew how to use a bow, realize it now.

......!

After escaping from Eunha, Kaede suddenly unfolded her skirt and took out the tonfa from the garter ring on her thigh.

Quickly holding two tonfas in her hands, she rushed at Eunha.

-Don’t fight until the very end.

Of course I learned bayonet.

He also learned close combat techniques.

She swung her tonfa.

Eunha was taken aback by what had happened so suddenly.

☆

Fighting techniques for close combat.

Kaede practiced intensively while sparring with Onyang.

Among them, she showed a talent for the tonfaran weapon.

You have to block it with one arm.

If I block it with both arms, I get hit.

Normally, she wears a garter ring on her thigh.

A wall seawater device that transforms into a tonfa when mana is injected into it.

Holding onto the tonfa, she blocked a sword flying from the side.

...Kuh...!

Blocking the sword with one arm, she clenched her teeth.

Then, he immediately threw the tonfa in his right hand toward the galaxy’s ship.

There was a feeling of hitting.

But it is-.

─Didn’t I say that I would only use one sack?

You didn’t take it out of the scabbard.

Your personality is really bad.

How is your personality that has been hiding the tonfa until now?

A galaxy that was blocked by snowy winter.

He blocked it with a scabbard.

She couldn’t help but frown as she was looking for an opportunity to turn the situation around.

As the close combat continues like that—

-It’s a weapon that suits you really well. keep learning it ... ugh...!

Limitations had to be revealed.

Even though I practiced countless times.

Since her opponent was Noh Eun-ha, the results of her practice were not very helpful.

In the end, from a certain moment on, she was only in a hurry to block the sword of the galaxy.

Meanwhile-.

──There is no need to step back. You can take just half a step back.

Kaede surrendered to her instincts.

As Eunha swung her sword, the surrounding air shook greatly.

And Kaede was able to predict the direction and strength of the trajectory by sensing the shaking air.

......!

It was a strange feeling.

I was able to avoid the sword of the galaxy only by tightening my eyes.

Just a moment ago, she let go of his attack very lightly.

From there, she focused on her instincts and tried to evade the galaxy’s attack.

This is a fake.

The next one is real.

The victory has already been won.

But she wanted to fully understand what she was feeling.

Coincidentally, Eunha also felt it—.

─I will continue.

Please continue.

Eunha’s eyes widened.

Soon, Eunha giggled and started swinging her sword faster. A

trajectory

that does not know where to bounce.

Vertical, horizontal, oblique, zigzag, etc.

Even seeing the erratic movement of the sword, she barely managed to dodge the attack by half a step.

In the end-.

-You don’t even need to see it with your own eyes.

Because all my senses feel it anyway.

She closed her eyes.

You could get hurt if you do it wrong.

She instinctively heard Gift tell her voice.

flow of mana.

air movement.

All felt through the skin.

☆

Gift < Environment Sensing >.

A gift that is good at detecting environmental changes and is optimized for evasion depending on how you use it.

It was a gift from Kaede Hoshimiya.

Aware of her gift before returning, she showed rapid growth as a ranger and was eventually called < The Shrine >.

And < Shingoong > showed the ability to dodge any attack and used to fool the opponent.

That’s really great.

I was also surprised when I used tonfa, but I never thought I would realize the gift.

While dealing with Kaede.

Eunha only exclaimed.

Even in a previous life, Kaede Hoshimiya used a tonfa as a weapon.

But that was in the distant future.

In the first place, the relationship was wrong.

After becoming aware of the Gift, she learned close combat.

Thus, even in close combat, it was reborn as a flawless < Shingung >.

growing too fast

At this rate, it will only be a matter of time before it becomes a < new palace >.

Eunha was satisfied with Kaede’s growth.

It was more than expected.

Maybe in a few years, she will be called < new palace >.

So, with a smile on his face, he helped her understand the gift.

In the first place, Kaede had been using gifts until now.

I just understood the gift as a role to explore the surroundings. I just didn’t know you could dodge attacks using gifts.

It was something she had to figure out on her own.

That’s why Eunha didn’t say anything to her, unlike when she made other friends aware of the gift.

And now like this-.

[—The winner, Noh Eun-ha.]

Her Gift has blossomed.

Although we lost in Dalian.

She had a face that seemed to be reminded of something.

Do it again. Do you think you can do it?

...ambiguous. I think I can, but I don’t think I can.

Do you remember the feeling? I remember the sensation... but I don’t think I’ll remember it for a long time. Then practice until you remember.

I think so.

Kaede sweated profusely.

Kaede, whose hair clung to her cheek, picked up the bow that had fallen on the floor.

Then I glanced back at the galaxy.

─Thank you...

What are you doing? say thank you

I’m saying thank you because I’m grateful. It’s just that I haven’t had anything to thank you for until now. Wow...

the audience is cheering.

On the large monitor that relayed the stadium, the image of her closing her eyes and avoiding his sword continued to appear.

That’s how much admiration came out when other people saw it.

Of course, Kaede’s reaction was different.

She clenched her molars.

─Then play it now...

Stop playing it.

Was it reminded of a fierce battle?

Or is it because you’re ashamed?

Kaede’s face turned red.

Eunha looked at her and smiled.

oh right remember?

what.

you said Prove where you can have me once.

however.

now you have me don’t say anything later

yes do it your way

Then, if you join my party, can the settlement fee be 9:1? Of course, 9 comes out and 1 is you.

I said I’d be a member of your party, I never said I’d be a slave.

Kaede replied bluntly.
