Chapter 366

The Chestnut Tree Knight Order was not a knight order that engaged in intense real combat, but still, there had to be a difference in skill between a formal knight of the order and students who were still learning magic at Einroguard.

Of course, the Chestnut Tree Knight Order also had many eyes watching, so they naturally had to hold back, but even considering that, the students seemed too disadvantaged.

The servant couldn't understand at all why the students were happy about it.

"Let's trample on those arrogant bastards, Wardanaz! Don't forgive them at all!"

"They won't know that you can use a sword. Let's hide it and finish them off at once!"

"They'll be so surprised when you take out a sword after attacking with magic, they'll fall for it!"

At the vulgar shouts of the White Tiger Tower students, students from other towers looked at them with perplexed gazes.Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

Salko muttered.

"Are those guys really knights?"

Some White Tiger Tower students couldn't lift their heads out of embarrassment for their friends.

They were acting so high and mighty, not even stepping up themselves but leaving it to Wardanaz...

"Excuse me, are you really sure about this?"

The servant asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry! Wardanaz is here!"

"Uh... Isn't it the mage who's going out?"

"..."

"..."

The servant's innocent question brought the White Tiger Tower students back to their senses.

"We... We're weaker than Wardanaz..."

"Ah, aha. I see."

When they became awkward with each other, the servant shouted to change the mood.

"I think if I were a friend, I could go out instead! Isn't that what friendship is about?"

"We're not really friends though..."

"..."

When the atmosphere became very awkward, the White Tiger Tower students unconsciously looked at Yi-Han.

"You... You'll go out, right? Wardanaz?"

"We can't exclude you from the White Tiger Tower's power."

"Hey. You crazy bastard. Wardanaz is from the Blue Dragon Tower."

"Ah, oops. Out of habit..."

—

Regardless of the White Tiger Tower students' foolishness, Yi-Han took the opponent's provocation quite seriously.

Before the match, he called Dolgyu and Jijel to thoroughly confirm the opponent's strength.

"The Chestnut Tree Knight Order isn't that powerful or renowned."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Are you really sure?"

"...What do you mean by asking again?"

Jijel held back from adding 'bastard' or 'jerk' at the end and asked.

Instead of answering, Yi-Han looked at Dolgyu. Dolgyu glanced at Jijel and nodded.

"It's certain. Yi-Han. They're not that great of a knight order."

"That's a relief."

"But Yi-Han... Even if they're not masters like Mr. Bikelintz or Professor Ingurdel, if they're representing the knight order, their skills won't be easy to deal with at all."

Dolgyu spoke with a worried tone.

Unlike the other White Tiger Tower students who had a strange illusion about Yi-Han's strength due to being beaten up so much (some White Tiger Tower students seriously argued that if Yi-Han took out the forbidden magic he had hidden and fought against the skull principal, they might be evenly matched), Dolgyu and Jijel were quite realistic.

Although Yi-Han was strong, he was still a student, wasn't he?

In comparison, the opponent was a knight with experience. It was always the knight who caught the mage.

"Don't worry. Dolgyu. I have it all figured out."

Now that things had flowed this way, Yi-Han had no intention of letting it go smoothly either.

No matter how crazy they were about the banquet hall, there had to be a limit, right?

Regardless of what the opponent was thinking, he intended to show them what he was made of.

"What are you planning to do?"

Jijel asked out of genuine curiosity.

She knew that Yi-Han was a cunning, despicable, and meticulous strategist, but she couldn't even guess what he would do in this situation.

"Just watch."

Yi-Han approached the servant and whispered.

"It seems too harsh for the students to face the knights in this situation. I think we should make some more concessions. Try to say this well."

The servant was more surprised than moved by the silver coins coming into his sleeve.

No way, even this?

"Of-Of course it's something I should do. You don't have to give me silver coins. I'll do my best."

"Oh no. No. Keep it. Keep it."

Yi-Han grabbed the resisting servant and stuffed the silver coins into his pocket.

The servant, who finally gave up and took the silver coins, went out and returned after a while.

"They say you can prepare magic in advance."

After hearing everything, Duke Icaldoren froze coldly. He had crossed the threshold of anger.

"So?"

"..."

"So why are you telling me that as it is? Are you saying that I have to solve it myself? Huh?"

"I will go and resolve it right away!"

The attendants and escorts immediately shouted and ran downstairs.

They intended to stop this matter even if they had to beat up the knights.

"This... This is against the rules!"

"I don't know why it's against the rules."

"You were hiding magic!"

"Didn't you say we could cast magic in advance?"

"...???"

However, the sight unfolding before the escorts' eyes was the exact opposite of their expectations.

—

Yi-Han, Dolgyu, and Jijel walked out after casting reinforcement magic as much as they could.

While pretending to be as weak, scared, and nervous as possible.

"Dolgyu. Relax your eyes. You look strong."

"So-Sorry. Yi-Han. It's hard to act..."

"Think of yourself as Gainando."

"I-I am Gainando. I am Gainando."

"..."

It didn't end there.

Yi-Han boldly asked for time to complete the spin by floating water orbs.

The opposing knight lightly agreed without even knowing what magic Yi-Han was preparing. He had already judged that he had won based on the three's tense appearance.

Bang!

As a result, the opposing knight was sent flying through the glass window into the garden next to the residence.

"..."

"Tell them you didn't send him flying on purpose. Yi-Han."

"Sorry. I failed to control my strength."

The knights, who came to their senses belatedly, strongly protested.

"This... This is against the rules!"

Originally, they had planned to fight somewhat evenly and give the opponent the excuse of 'Haha, I let my guard down because they're young students,' but now that they had accidentally sent him flying with a single blow, Yi-Han didn't have many options left.

Brazenly go out!

"I don't know why it's against the rules."

"You were hiding magic!"

"Didn't you say we could cast magic in advance?"

Yi-Han insisted with a face that said 'I know nothing.'

In fact, the knights had nothing to say.

It was something that had already been permitted beforehand.

"This cunning trick...!"

"Enough."

"Duke!"

The knights were delighted by Duke Icaldoren's visit.

"We were just having a simple match, so if it's alright with you, could you judge..."

"Why?"

"Pardon?"

"I asked why you're having a match in someone else's residence."

"..."

"...Well, there was a small dispute..."

"If a small dispute arises, is it okay to have a match in someone else's residence? Is that the way of the Chestnut Tree Knight Order?"

Only then did the knights of the knight order realize that the atmosphere was unusual and shut their mouths.

They used to walk around with their shoulders back as members of a knight family on their own land, but if the duke unleashed his anger, they would be blown away.

"Du-Duke. There seems to be a misunderstanding."

"Do you think I'm an idiot? To the point where I can't even understand your words?"

"N-No. That's not it..."

"I generously overlooked your mistake, and now you're trying to insult me!"

The duke spat out coldly restrained anger.

Seeing that, Yi-Han thought to himself.

'He seems different from the rumors.'

The person who was laughing happily when the White Tiger Tower students were making a fuss was getting so angry over a match.

Contrary to the rumors, he had quite a fickle and eccentric personality.

And he was also stingy...
