chapter 133
Caul, who immediately caught the attention of the cadets, smiled and said,
“Judging by the look on their faces, they are not the only ones who are nervous.”
It was as it was said.
There were exceptions like Abel and May, but most of them showed tension on their faces.
Luke and Victor in particular were strangely nervous.
Kaul said, crossing his arms.
“I sneakily checked the other side before coming here, but the atmosphere there was also tense.”
By the other side, of course, I was referring to the white eagle class.
“It is natural to be nervous. But what did I always say?”
“I told you not to make mistakes out of tension!”
Dorian responded with a raised arm. At that, Kaul nodded.
“That’s it. Not too long ago, I fought monsters I couldn’t communicate with, but compared to that, isn’t it much easier to fight the same human?”
It didn’t quite fit, but most of the cadets nodded.
Kaul said in a firm voice as if driving a wedge.
“You can lose. But do your best. Because that’s enough. Got it?”
“yes-!”
“good. Then I’ll be out until the game starts, plan or whatever.”
“yes!”
Upon hearing the answer, Kaul immediately turned around and left the waiting room.
This class competition was purely contested between cadets. The instructors did not intervene even in planning the plan.
After he left, it was Henna who broke the silence.
“Does everyone remember the operation?”
“huh.”
“I remember.”
Daniel and Hena were the ones who came up with the plan for this anti-war battle.
At first, there was an atmosphere of subtly driving Abel as a leader, but Abel himself refused.
Of course, Abel didn’t hand over the leadership role to them simply because he was annoyed.
‘Henna and Daniel are both talented enough to lead.’
Most of the other children were also in favor.
Luke and Victor strongly expressed their disapproval, but since there were only two of them, their opinion was lightly dismissed.
Originally, it was good to experience important things like conducting at least once.
‘If one person is in charge of everything, the operational capability will be greatly reduced in the absence.’
This is common sense to any player who has played the game.
In particular, this game that Abel enjoyed was clearly not a way to raise and clear a single person, but a way to nurture numerous cadets.
Even if you raise only one person well, there is a limit to what you can do.
That was the reason why Abel always cared about the other cadets and tried to lead as many as possible.
In particular, after the second semester, Abel was more and more concerned about the other cadets.
‘From a long-term perspective, it’s time for other cadets to grow in earnest.’
In the future, there would be many ‘real battles’ like the last practice.
With mediocre skills, one by one they would fall out, but I couldn’t leave it alone.
‘Of course, but I don’t mean to neglect my growth.’
game clear. In other words, even if the goal is to keep the peace of this world, if the person himself dies, he will be silent, so it was natural.
“So this one… … . Abel, are you listening?”
“huh? Then, of course not.”
Abel immediately nodded.
Hena looked at Abel with suspicious eyes and continued her explanation.
“The important thing is the formation in the end. Once the formation collapses, it is out of control. Although we have a strong force on our side… … .”
She looked at Abel for a moment, then said.
“It is the same over there. It means that the odds of an unconventional strategy working are slim.”
If there is Abel in the black lion class, there is an aiolin in the white eagle class.
‘It’s not a formidable opponent.’
I haven’t played against him since Iolin recently avoided him, but Iolin’s win rate in bare-body sparring was far higher.
‘I’m confident while riding the Gigant.’
Probably 6 or 7 out of 10 fights.
Conversely, it means that you can lose 3 or 4 times.
While Abel thought about the violin, Henna continued her explanation.
“So basically, I’m going to look for gaps while keeping the defense solid.”
In the gaps between explanations, Daniel from the sidelines also helped.
Time passed quickly, and the start of the game was right around the corner.
“They must be ready!”
It was then that the cowl reappeared. He immediately waved his hands and shouted at the cadets.
“ruler! Everyone, enter through that door! It’s connected to the Gigant waiting room, so go get on it!”
“yes!”
At that, everyone immediately opened the door and headed to the Gigant waiting room.
There was a huge space beyond the door, and there were rows of Gigant columns.
The Gigants, which had been completely repaired to the outer armor, were shining.
“Now, everyone, get on the Gigant right away!”
Then the assistant instructors controlled the cadets.
The cadets, including Abel, got on their Gigant according to the guidance.
Whoa-!
As usual, when I energized the core and activated the Gigant, I immediately heard a voice.
– Ugh. Long time no see, master.
“I know. long time no see.”
I rode Gigant a few times, but it was the first time I had a conversation with Lupus since practice.
Lupus fell into a deep sleep, perhaps because he consumed a lot of energy during practice.
Abel said while raising Gigant.
“Today is a fairly important battle, so please take good care of it.”
– That’s great. I was still feeling sick.
After Abel completed the upright maneuver, the other cadets also completed the maneuver one after another with little gaps.
After Dorian and everyone stood up, Kaul shouted with the voice amplifier in his hand.
-Okay, it’s time to enter the arena! If there’s a guy who gets nervous and falls over, he’s at the lowest point right away!
After Cowl’s non-cheering cheer, the wall on the opposite side from where he came in opened on both sides.
‘It wasn’t a wall, it was a whole door.’
Abel looked at the scenery through the slowly opening door.
There was a stadium that looked vast even at a glance.
-Entrance!
Hearing Kaul’s voice, Hena and Daniel, who stood at the forefront, slowly walked into the arena.
Among them, Henna held a large flag with a black lion pattern in her hand.
It was the Black Lion squad’s flag prepared for this class confrontation.
Abel, who was in the middle, followed him and slowly surveyed the arena.
‘It’s an enormous size.’
The stadium used for this class match was the largest I have ever been to.
It was even bigger than the place I had seen before during the runaway incident of henna.
In Abel’s memory, this was the largest facility in the academy, excluding the field.
This is because it was created with the assumption of a group exhibition between gigants.
thump, thump, thump-!
After looking around the stadium for a while, Abel turned his head when he heard a sound coming from the front.
There was a Gigant of White Eagle cadets.
The one that walked the most was a pure white Gigant with a sleek image overall.
It looked different from the last time he saw it, but Abel recognized it at a glance that it was Iolin’s Gigant.
With both hands, she was holding a flag emblazoned with a white eagle.
‘As expected, Eolin is the representative.’
Iolin leaned her flag on the floor and stared at her.
Likewise, Henna holding a flag looked at her without losing.
Abel watched them for a moment, then looked around.
Seats were lined up on the outskirts of the arena. It wasn’t just a stadium in name, but it felt similar to an outdoor arena in a real fighting arena.
In the seats were people related to the academy, such as instructors and engineers.
This time, there were not many people because it was not a place to invite outsiders.
-Come on, each class! Everyone to their seats!
Just as I was looking around, I heard a loud voice next to me.
It was the voice of Kaul, who oversaw the match against the class this time.
Next to him was the instructor in charge of the white eagle squad.
-Everyone to their seats!
Henna then shouted loudly. At that, Abel went to his place.
First of all, Dorian, Victor and Darin took their places in the first row.
Behind them, the tank positions, were Abel, Daniel, and May, the dealer positions.
On the other hand, Luke and Qalian, who are in the same dealer position, took their positions diagonally behind the tank with spears.
Instead of being protected by tanks, they were tasked with blocking enemies who bypassed them.
It was for this reason that the lich carried a long spear.
-Whoa, let’s widen the distance just a little bit more.
On the other hand, Henna and Cynthia sat at the very back and adjusted the distance little by little.
Henna held a magic cannon with both hands and wore a magic shield behind her back.
If the enemy broke through the defense, he would immediately deploy a magic shield to protect the rear.
-good. That’s enough.
Eventually, the maintenance of the formation was completed.
Abel, who had established himself early, had been observing the enemy camp.
The enemy’s formation was quite different from this side.
They formed a rhombic shape with the violin in the foremost position.
‘The tanker is blocking his side.’
I could tell just by looking at the dealer standing in the front.
that they will come out aggressive.
‘Does it mean that he will rush in and push it away?’
Of course, your predictions may be wrong.
may be right
– Enemies may rush right in, so everyone is nervous. The front holds up as much as possible.
-huh.
-okay.
Tankers pierced the large shields prepared for the anti-war battle deep into the ground.
-ruler… … .
Eventually, Kaul slowly opened his mouth.
– The match begins!
Knock that as a signal! A voice rang out.
At the same time as the start signal, the white eagle cadets kicked the ground.
thump, thump, thump-!
They kept their formation and ran all the way.
The gap widened a little while running, but the threat was still there.
Because the one at the apex was none other than the violin.
Woo woo woo woo-!
Then, a familiar sound came from behind.
It was none other than the sound of Henna’s magic cannon.
Wooo-!
In the meantime, my skills got better, and the magic gun was fired at a much faster rate than before.
at that time. Right behind Iolin, two tanks pushed out their shields.
Quaang-!
The magic cannon hit the shield.
Although it was powerful, it was not enough to pierce the shield, so the gap gradually narrowed.
When it narrowed down to a certain distance like that.
thud!
The aiolin came out from between the shields again. She crouched down and stabbed her sword.
Naturally, the tanks tried to block the attack with their shields, but Iolin’s sword bent like a snake just before it was blocked by the shield.
Quagga Gagagak!
The blade struck Dorian’s shoulder.
It wasn’t a fatal wound, but the problem was that the attack left a gap between the defenders.
aaang-!
After that, the opposing tanks used their shields to headbutt the body.
It was a very ignorant attack, but the cracks in the defenses got bigger.
And the opposing dealers didn’t let that crack go unnoticed.
– Stab!
At Eolin’s command, the spear flew in.
However, Henna was not taken lightly.
-backwards!
At Hena’s command, the defenses behind the attacking line retreated in unison.
In the first place, it was within the expected range for the opponent to attack with strong attack power.
Abel, Daniel and May. As soon as these three backed away, Luke and Qalian stepped forward and stabbed their spears.
– Hold on!
In that brief moment, the opponent’s forces became surrounded by the forces of the allies.
Woo woo woo woo-!
Kiriririk!
Henna and Cynthia immediately prepared for an attack.
If this is the case, you can feed the opponent with a shot.
– Wow!
But then. Victor screamed and staggered loudly.
In that situation, Luke had to provide support right away, but Luke was also tightly held by Letton on the other side.
A situation where the defense line would collapse in an instant.
Abel looked at it and thought.
‘Look at these guys?’
Somehow, in Abel’s eyes, it looked quite unnatural.
When Abel saw that, instead of being taken aback, he raised one corner of his mouth.
I don’t know exactly what the intention is.
But I had no intention of letting it go smoothly.
