chapter 12
12 – Aren vs Yubar 2
“What bullsh*t?”
“Quack.”
I heard Tia’s muttering, but I heard Aaron’s laughter.
Tia heard the sound and glared at Aaron.
“What’s wrong, Tia? I don’t know.”
“… disgusting asshole.”
While Tia was chewing on words, Yubar’s speech was heard.
“Aside from that, he steals classmates’ money and goods from nowhere! He’s rumored to be harassing lovers who have lovers!”
‘I heard that rumor too.’
Aren was listening casually as if he were listening to someone else.
“But I! I’ve never seen Aren like that! I didn’t believe the rumors! I didn’t avoid him and tried to talk to him before we started fighting!”
‘I did come.’
“Aren Difus at that time! I was not in good shape! I’m sorry, but could you look after me? You asked me! I was lying when I said that I was not in good shape!”
‘This is just a lie.’
“But I believe in Aren’s words! I was worried about Aren’s physical condition and continued even before the sparring! I declared that I would take care of him!”
‘Hey~ Does this continue like that?’
“But Aren Deepus! Cowardly took advantage of my carelessness! He swung his sword! He fatally wounded me and gave me an unforgettable humiliation!!!”
‘It must have been really painful to see him screaming.’
“So, Yubar Jezex! Today, I will judge the shame of that nobleman, including this one!!!”
The moment Yubar’s speech ended, the entire school started to cheer.
“Waaa!!!”
“Yubar! Yubar! Yubar!”
“Kill me quickly!!!”
“Garat Yubar! I decided on you!”
‘Is it popular?’
As the thousands of students chanted the name of Yubar, Aren looked at the crowd in amazement.
Yubar grinned and threw the microphone at Aren.
“If you have something to say, say it.”
“Hmm.”
Whatever the truth, no matter what Aren says, the crowd will not respond in this atmosphere.
Aren’s image has already been damaged by rumors, and Aaron’s gang will be setting the mood among the crowd.
“But it’s a long time ago…”
Aren smiled and stood in front of the crowd.
“hello?”
“……”
“……”
Aren’s carefree voice kept the audience silent and focused on Aren’s words.
“My name is Aren Difus. Um~ I don’t think you guys will listen to anything I say, so I’ll just say what I want to say.”
At Aren’s words, the crowd started talking again.
“As I’ve heard, you’re an unlucky child, aren’t you?”
“Yubar now! Cut it down!”
“Goodbye~! Aren~!”
“Woo~~~~~~”
The crowd booed, but Aren calmly continued.
“In today’s duel, I intend to show off my own swordsmanship.”
“… what?”
“What kind of bullsh*t are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Did you turn around because you were scared?”
The audience was bewildered when Aren suddenly took a different turn on the subject.
“People from the Department of Management, please have fun…”
Aren turned his gaze away for a moment and looked at the place where Cecilia’s energy was.
Frey, who was sitting next to Cecilia, noticed her gaze and patted Cecilia on the shoulder in surprise.
“Oh, Leah! Aren’t you looking at me right now?”
“……”
Cecilia looked at Aren’s face in silence.
Aren also opened his mouth while looking at Cecilia.
“… I’m watching.”
“……”
Cecilia nodded, and Aren threw away the artifact and stood in front of Yubar.
“What is that f*cking god?”
“Who did you tell?”
As the audience questioned, Professor Byron’s voice was heard.
“From now on, the duel between Aren Deepus and Yubar Jezex begins!!!”
“Waaa!!!”
“Oohhhhh!!!”
Byron stood in the middle of both players and said.
“The rules don’t need to be explained… Prepare both.”
“yes.”
“Keuk Kuk, will he finally kill you?”
Despite Yubar’s provocation, Aren kept his eyes on the ground and focused only on the sword stance.
Seeing this, Yubar laughed, thinking that Aren was frightened.
“Kick! What was the speech earlier than that? Did you talk nonsense out of fear?”
“……”
“Ah~ you dumb bastard.”
As Yubar drew his sword and concentrated mana, the crowd started to murmur.
“A mana sword?”
“Is that kid an expert?”
“Isn’t it like an artifact?”
Yubar’s sword was covered with a bright mana sword.
Carol, who looked carefully at Yubar’s sword in the crowd, looked at Aaron and said,
“It’s an artifact.”
“Quack.”
Aaron just laughed.
“Can’t you just live like that?”
When Tia said it with a disgusted expression, Aaron also frowned.
“What did I do?”
“When you laugh and pretend like that?”
“How do I know that bastard artifact? And wasn’t it possible to use the artifact in a duel?”
“……”
“It’s not really a foul, so why are you making a fuss? Ttuk”
“This bastard…”
The moment Tia starts crying, she hears Professor Byron’s signal.
“Begin the duel!”
“You’re dead!”
Simultaneously with the start, Yubar runs out.
And at the same time, Aren also moved.
Precisely, he cut the ground with his foot sword without moving from the spot.
Kwagak!
‘What is that madman doing?’
Yubar was running fast using mana.
The distance to Aren is a distance that can be reached within one or two seconds, but at this rate, victory could be achieved in one blow.
‘If you want to die like that, I…!?’
Quagga gag gag!
Just as Yubar was about to cut Aren down, a strange sound came from the floor.
The moment Barun Yu, who felt ominous about him, lowered his gaze.
word of mouth
“Oh ahhhhh!
Starting from Yubar’s right foot, it was cut vertically beyond the knee to the shoulder.
Byron couldn’t help but be astonished at the sight.
‘what!!!?’
Byron was watching Aren’s swordsmanship from beginning to end.
The moment Aren fired his sword, the floor was cut, and the scars on the floor increased gradually, and the moment it reached Yubar’s right foot, it cut through his body as if a slash was going up Yubar’s body.
‘Come on!? Oh, no?’
Unstable mana sword swayed in Aren’s sword.
In such a state, mana cannot stay in the sword and is counted out.
It is impossible to attack from a distance with a sword like that, and in the first place, a long-distance attack method that can be used with a mana sword did not yet exist.
‘How on earth…’
Whether Byron was in shock or not, Aren was walking towards Yubar.
“aaa!”
‘It went in properly.’
Aren was proud of himself as he watched Yubar cry.
The technology just now was the result of Aren’s efforts using the coast.
‘Cut the coastal stream deep!’
Aren’s naming sense was so-so.
Meanwhile, Yubar was rolling on the floor, unable to bear the pain and dropping his sword.
“Keuuugh! Shiiuuu!!!”
Aren slowly approached Yubar.
jerk jerk jerk
Startle
Hearing Aren’s footsteps, Yubar stopped screaming and began to search for his sword.
“Sir, f*cking, hold on! That, the sword…”
‘Where’s the sleep in the duel?’
Aren ignored it and cut off Yubar’s right arm.
squeak
“Kuaaa!!!”
‘I still have my left arm left.’
While Yubar was in a frenzy, Aren approached to cut off his remaining left arm.
“That, stop! Don’t surrender! Don’t do not!
‘Wow?’
Yubar rolled away from Aren, then lowered his head and began to sob.
Professor Byron, who was watching the scene, declared Aren in front of him.
“The winner is Aren Deepus!”
“……”
“……”
It was quiet.
The silence was long enough to make it hard to believe there were hundreds.
Professor Byron looked at the lawmakers and started shouting.
“What are you doing! Members run!”
At Professor Byron’s words, the members of the council rushed in and started treating Yubar.
Aren, who was watching this, turned his gaze back to the crowd.
“……”
“……”
it was still quiet
Aren shrugged and turned and went back to the dormitory.

“Wow! What is that!?”
Frey called out to Cecilia with a flushed face, as if she had just been excited about the duel.
However, Cecilia was also quite surprised as she was staring at the sword statue that Aren had left in the gymnasium with her eyes wide open.
“Are you listening Lia?”
“……”
“My Lia~ Were you surprised?”
“shut up.”
Cecilia eventually got up from her seat and moved to look at the remaining sword statues in the gymnasium.
“Hmm~ Aren Deepus.”
Frey smiled meaningfully at Aren’s back as he walked away.
Meanwhile, there were people who were more surprised than they were.
They were Carol and Tia, Luke and Aaron.
“……”
“……”
“……”
No one opened their mouths.
‘What kind of technology is that?’
Among them, Carol and Aaron were the most shocked.
Since the two of them were strong men looking at the top level of experts, they were well aware of how absurd Aren’s swordsmanship was.
Even that Aaron couldn’t say anything as if he was quite surprised this time.
At that time, there was a voice calling Carol and the others.
“You guys were here!”
It was Anna and Ron.
The two of them ran as soon as class ended, but there were too many people, so they couldn’t meet Carol and were watching the duel separately.
Ron spoke to Carol with a firm expression.
“Have you seen Carr?”
“……uh.”
Carol answered a bit late, then got up and headed to the center of the arena.
It was to see the sword mark left by Aren.
Following him, Tia got up and walked to the gymnasium, and even that Aaron quietly walked to the gymnasium.
And one by one, the gymnasium was filled with people.
***
“Professor Byron, did you find out something?”
“… sorry.”
“… Hmm.”
Professor Byron was currently in the middle of an emergency meeting with several professors.
The topic of the meeting was the content of the new mana practice method used by Aren.
“How on earth can you land a slash like that with a mana sword?”
The principal of the mana management department, Tristan, was a veteran who had mastered various techniques.
A bow with a bow, a spear with a spear, regardless of the type, all the skills he learned had reached the level of a master.
Although he is now retired and sits as headmaster of Bolridge, no one in the kingdom could ignore him.
Even for Tristan, Aren’s seniority method was the first of its kind.
Of course, it was a skill that was possible because of the ability of the coast rather than a pure technique, but in Tristan’s eyes, it also seemed like a technique.
“Has anyone really figured out anything?”
“……”
“……”
‘I should have seen it up close.’
Tristan was disappointed in the quiet conference room and regretted not seeing Aren’s skills up close.
‘But I can’t ask a student to teach me how to practice…’
A slash that feels as if cutting power is running through a wall.
Tristan recalled Are’s sword once more and closed his eyes as if savoring it.
***
“It’s gone.”
“… I know?”
Aren and Teil finished their morning training as usual and were having breakfast in the cafeteria.
‘Well, I can’t live without being hurt.’
Aren put the tableware down for a moment and looked around.
Sasak
Sasasak
The students who had been secretly spying on Aren turned their eyes away as soon as their eyes met.
‘It’s kind of fun.’
Aren smiled as if the students were cute and said to Tail.
“Since it was impossible to stay quiet anyway, wouldn’t it be better to stand out rather than stand out?”
“You’ve never been quiet enough to want to be quiet.”
“……”
The sudden fact made Aren heartbroken.
After calming down for a while, I changed the subject.
“Come to think of it, it looks like we’re going to have some kind of test soon?”
“You’re talking about the first passage.”
“The passage door.”
“Simply put, if you fail this exam, you will be expelled.”
“Oh~”
Bollywood has a penalty point system.
Naturally, the place where the most victims in this system occur is in the first grade.
And the passage gate was a strengthened version of the penalty point system and could be said to be a device for filtering out students with low levels.
‘If I fall… can’t I? I can’t…’
Aren was tempted to be expelled for a while, but the face of his parents in his hometown reminded him of it and he immediately shook off the temptation.
“Whoa, can you guess anything from the test content?
“The first pass every year is the same.”
“Oh, what is it?”
“It’s a tournament.”
“tournament?”
