I Became a Darkened Extra

Episode 7 – Second Chair (2)

7. 2Nd place (2)

Maybe it was because the author of the original work was Korean, but El Prime Academy was also a sincere place to line up.

A representative example is a ranking system that would be disappointing if it did not exist.

Every rank, from 1st to 250th, is granted from the time of entering the academy.

Of course, the first ranking is in order of entrance exam scores.

After that, you compete against each other for one semester to raise, drop, or maintain your rank.

In the martial arts club, this rank can be adjusted through duels.

Isn’t it simple but the most certain method?

The best way to determine superiority among those carrying weapons was fighting.

There was another reason why Leon threw his handkerchief at Essabel.

First of all, the important point was to prevent Billy from getting along with Essabel.

As I have said repeatedly, Billy is a man with the greatest talent in the world.

What would happen if such a guy were to encounter the perfect imperial swordsmanship, created by accumulating all kinds of swordsmanship from the continent?

If you think about the corrupt and corrupt swordsmanship that Billy had learned from his male counterpart, that in itself was an incredible feat.

In the beginning, I struggled with the advanced swordsmanship I encountered for the first time.

Later, you will be able to suck up everything you can, like a sponge absorbing water, and your skills will skyrocket.

In fact, it has grown significantly in this way from the original work.

Billy was an example of a protagonist who levels up in moments of crisis.

Leon could never allow the gap that he had narrowed by acquiring the devil’s talent to widen through hardships.

It was an opportunity that led me to act semi-impulsively.

When I returned, I was at a scene of astonishment and confusion where not even a sound could escape.

“······.”

Essa Belle quietly lifted her handkerchief that was streaming down her face.

Leon’s handkerchief had a red eagle symbol embroidered on it, symbolizing the Cruciv family.

“······Crusiv?”

“My name is Leon Crusif, princess.”

At the name of the duke who could not be ignored, the silence in the area was broken and people were agitated.

Is that the prince of the Cruciv family who was said to be coming to this season?

A crazy man who suddenly throws a handkerchief at the princess’s face.

But that crazy guy wasn’t just a crazy person, he was a high-level crazy person.

If Leon had been a commoner, he would have been cornered, but because of his social status, the cadets could not easily intervene.

“······.”

Essabel, who had lived her whole life being looked up to by others, at first tried to get angry.

No matter how Crucip, how dare you interfere with my conversation.

Even committing such rudeness.

By the way, didn’t you just say a little while ago that all students here are of the same status?

She was not a dirty person who immediately went back on what she said.

Essa Belle had to choose her words so as not to appear authoritarian.

“Princess, I am sorry for being rude. “I guess I was excited without even realizing it because I was encountering a moment I had only dreamed of.”

Thanks to that, Leon was able to hit the player.

“······A moment you only dreamed of?”

Essabel, who was upset, did not bother to correct her speech to make it easier.

She crossed her arms, highlighting her large breasts, and gestured with her chin as if to say something.

“It is indeed so. Princess Esabel’s noble swordsmanship was heard until our ears were worn out! The story of the princess who reached great heights at an early age always made my heart pound. You even said that she was the same age as me… I have always regarded the princess as an idol and trained her sword.”

Of course, it’s all a lie from beginning to end.

But Leon knew that Essa Belle was a woman who was surprisingly weak to praise.

“······.”

Esabel’s eyes lost some of their strength without my knowledge.

“I entered the academy in the same year, and the opportunity to cross swords with such an idol was something I could only dream of… “My ranking is 3rd, but when I found out that I could challenge the princess, who was second in command, to a duel, I came right away.”

That’s right.

Those ranked 10th or higher can only apply for ranking matches against those ranked one level higher than themselves.

Leon, ranked 3rd, had a justification.

“In the meantime, I couldn’t control my excitement… “I apologize once again for committing an unholy act due to my poor discipline.”

Leon bowed his head deeply once again.

“Hmm.”

At this point, Esabel’s anger began to subside.

From the beginning, she appeared as a heroine in the original work and had a very good personality.

A cool, easy-going and fair style, like a matriarch.

Despite having a great background as Duke Crusiv, it was easy to overlook him if he appeared in such a low-key manner.

‘I think it’s roughly done?’

As Essa Belle’s momentum abated, Leon smiled at her.

“Okay. I’ll forgive my rudeness this once.”

“Thank you.”

“But I guess I’ll have to decline the duel for now. I’m with Billy here…”

Asa Bell turned her head and her expression turned stupid once again.

The side next to her was empty.

Billy took advantage of the opportunity when people’s attention was focused on Leon and quickly left the place.

“······.”

Are these people making fun of me?

She failed to control her expression and frowned.

‘Billy Nice.’

Leon, who knew Billy’s dislike of troublesome things, expected him to act like that.

“Oh my. “In the meantime, you got scared and left.”

Shall we scratch it a little?

Esabel has a very strong competitive spirit…

Leon muttered quietly in a low voice.

“Hmm. Was he a no-brainer? After all, I guess the chief position is mine…”

“Ha!?”

However, since she was a mid- to low-expert level, it was naturally loud enough for Asa Bell, who has bright ears, to hear it.

What’s wrong with calling him an idol just now?

Essabel’s comments, which clearly ignored her, her deputy, made her feel heated.

Sreung!

A silver sword body was pulled out from Essabel’s sheath.

“Leon Crusiv. “Raise your sword.”

Her red eyes burned brightly.

“Let the duel begin.”

Sigh.

Leon didn’t bother to hide the laughter that was now leaking out.

“Good.”

Leon’s eyes, filled with fighting spirit, turned red.

If Esabel’s red eyes were like sparkling rubies, Leon’s red eyes were closer to a dull blood color.

* · * *

The audience gradually increased due to the untimely commotion that occurred from the first day.

Isn’t it a duel between 2nd and 3rd place in the rankings?

One of them was a princess, and the other was the third prince of the Cruciv family.

Thanks to this, not only the freshmen, but also instructors, senior cadets, and cadets from the Ministry of Magic from the building next door came.

Because the crowd was so large, there were many cadets who climbed up to a nearby building and looked down from the window.

Roaring.

“······.”

Essabel glared at the man in front of her and gently adjusted her sword.

Her palms were sweaty and the swordsman was damp.

‘How can you be so calm?’

The princess inevitably lives with the attention and attention of other people.

Even I am feeling a little nervous right now.

It’s the first day of school.

Her next life at the Academy is a time when her own reputation will be determined.

At a time like this, having a duel in front of hundreds of people is bound to be a burden for anyone.

But Leon didn’t feel any of that.

No, I was actually enjoying it.

“hahahaha.”

Singlebunggle.

Leon is laughing as if he is dying of joy.

‘······It’s creepy.’

As she looked into his eyes, Essabel felt an instinctive repulsion.

Usually, a crazy person can tell that something is different just by looking at her eyes.

Now is such a moment.

A madness that could not be hidden was overflowing from his eyes.

It wasn’t the look a normal human would have.

I have seen all kinds of human groups in the capital, but I have never seen eyes like that.

He looks completely different from when he apologized to himself earlier.

The attitude of a polite nobleman disappeared in an instant, as if a mask had been taken off.

I had doubts as to whether this was really the same person.

Esabel felt embarrassed.

If you’ve encountered someone like that before, there’s no way you wouldn’t remember them.

Even if you were a descendant of Duke Crusiv, you would probably meet him at least once at a social church or banquet.

Essa Bell looked back on her memories for a moment.

What is most likely is that there was a banquet to commemorate her father’s birthday last year.

‘We must have said hello at least once… Ah! No way?!’

I vaguely remembered it.

She once saw a boy her age who was at the same expert level and approached her with joy.

– Sir. That’s an amazing achievement. How old are you? Oh, my name is Esabel. Like a monk, I am walking on an unmanned path.

– Oh, what… Uh oh….

It was a boy with bushy bangs that seemed to cover half of his eyes.

– They are called Le, Leon Crusi, and Sif.

The boy who called her his name twice took a step back and left as if running away.

– What…… .

Esabel did not bother to catch him because his personality seemed to have a lot of problems.

That was all.

The high achievement was impressive, but it was only a short meeting, and the name that was stammered was not likely to remain in Esabel’s memory.

He was like that…

“hahahaha!!! “This has a lot of audiences!!!”

‘That’s the same person?’

“It makes my blood boil!!!!”

······Did you have a serious head injury?
