51. I won
Chapter 51. I won
A bluish status window popped up in front of me, but I didn’t care about Tails.
Now all my nerves were focused on that breath.
And now, Tails, who had closed his eyes, followed her steps with that breath as the center, and tried to slash her with his sword while twisting her waist.
Tails put his foot very carefully.
One step.
One step.
It was very slow.
I took a very slow step, as if it were a tortoise.
It took about three minutes to create a sword strike by taking a step and using strength from the lower body to the waist.
The moment when the last three minutes were filled.
The momentum of the sword that Tail wielded was different from before.
Hoo-woong!
With a tremendous sword wind, a haze spread around.
That was the release of mana.
Quaaang!
The scarecrow in front of me was shattered by the flying sword wind.
Tayl opened his eyes slowly at the feeling he felt for the first time.
Tale looked down at his sword with a blank expression.
What kind of sensation are you feeling right now?
Only then did Tail’s eyes see a bluish window.
[You have succeeded in managing mana efficiently.]
[The skill ‘Let’s use mana!’ Has become LV.2.]
[I gained a great realization about the sword.]
[You have succeeded in putting mana into the sword.]
[You have acquired the skill ‘Let’s use the sword!’]
“Lee. What’s this?”
Tail’s eyes were stained with bewilderment.
He immediately opened the skill window.
[Skill window]
1. My brother’s hand is a weak hand
2. Let’s use mana! (LV.2)
3. Let’s use sword skills!
“Do you have a real skill?”
Besides, sword skills?
Sword skill is different from just putting mana into a sword.
By pouring mana into every part of the sword, you can start by increasing its durability.
Anything can be cut.
Whether it’s jewelry or iron ore. Every.
It’s not literally covering the sword with mana, it’s the sword embracing mana.
‘Is the skill that uses mana reached level 2?’
Is there a level for this?
If that’s the case, is it possible to level up sword skills?
At the time I thought so, I looked outside and it was already dark.
‘Shall we go back?’
If it’s too late, Eugene will be worried.
Tale immediately packed his things and went back to the dormitory.

The next day.
The day of the long-awaited duel has arrived.
In the meantime, the nobles’ reaction was split in half.
“Ha. Why is Kromhelge the representative of the nobility?”
“So, not the eldest son of the count, but the second son.”
“If you lose like this, which side?”
There are some aristocratic students who are uncomfortable with Kromhell’s independent actions.
“Wow. It’s an opening sentence.”
“Yes. This is it There’s no way a noble can beat a commoner who uses mana but can’t.”
“Yeah. Now you can openly give it to the common people.”
There were also people who praised the actions he was trying to take in charge of directing traffic.
However.
The reaction of the commoners was the same,
“Ha…. From the beginning, it stood out alone and I knew it would be like this.”
“It will turn. Should I just drop out?”
“I can’t. I sold my fields and cattle just because my dad sent me to the academy….”
Nearly the majority were negative.
There were very few students who thought that Tail would win.
In a duel where mana could be used, the probability that Tail, who was said to be unable to use mana, would win was close to zero.
In the meantime, the time for the duel has quickly approached.
Titina chose the largest arena in the academy.
Thanks to the stadium that easily accommodates about 1,000 people, people were crowded before it even started.
From classmates to seniors to professors.
A huge number of people gathered at the academy to pay attention to this incident.
A deep smile appeared on Kromhell’s lips as he sneaked out of the waiting room and looked toward the arena.
Yes.
It tastes like it should be on this scale.
Coming back to the waiting room, Kromhell chuckled.
Now I can get rid of that irritating commoner with ease.
“Oh no.”
He almost forgot to eat the elixir he gave you.
It was an elixir that strengthened mana and muscles at the same time for just 10 minutes.
He told me to eat it before the start of the duel.
He said while handing over the elixir.
“You can’t even kill me. Even if you make a cripple, of course you can’t.”
I remembered the person who glared at me coldly.
“If the appearance of our persecution deepens, people will feel sympathy for him.”
He was strangely cold, but he was frozen by the strong and haughty eyes.
“If you fail to comply with this condition, I will definitely punish you to put an end to their displeasure.”
He was so insanely gorgeous.
He was like a rose.
“On the other hand, if you manage to subdue him with as few wounds as possible and destroy the pride of the common people without any harm, then I will be moderate.”
As he said that, he handed over the bottle containing the elixir with his white and beautiful hands.
‘Yes. All you need is this.’
Then he wins himself.
Kromhel opened the cap of the elixir and drank it in one gulp.
* * *
And that time.
Eugene and Ricky, Alice and Ethan approached Tail as he waited for the start of the duel in another waiting room.
“Tail. Do your best and come back. Even if you lose, we are on your side.”
“Yes. It’s okay to lose.”
Alice and Ethan nodded at Eugene and Ricky’s words.
Tale was dumbfounded at that appearance.
No. Are you here to cheer?
“Hey, if you come, cheer me on to win.”
There was silence at Tail’s words.
Tale smiled.
The kids guessed it.
From the moment I can use mana, I know that Tail will lose.
The four pairs of eyes were full of worry.
Tayl saw them and stood up.
At the same time, Eugene’s eyes shook.
“Tail….”
Eugene’s voice was as dangerous as a candle in a field of frost.
Eugene’s fingertips gently caught the collar of her tail.
“Don’t get hurt.”
Her tail shed her laugh at Eugene.
“It doesn’t hurt.”
He said, ruffling her Eugene’s hair.
“So, look carefully from now on.”
At the same time, Titina’s voice came from outside.
“Tail-kun and Kromhell-kun, please come out of the waiting room and come to the arena~”
Feeling a worried stare, Tail immediately left the waiting room.
Hundreds of people’s eyes poured out.
They shouted loudly at the appearance of Tails.
“Uh woo woo-!”
“Damn commoner!”
“Damn it!!!”
Tail stood calmly, holding a wooden sword with an expressionless expression.
And then, Kromhell came out from the opposite waiting room.
By the way.
‘Something is strange?’
Was that guy’s momentum originally that intense?
Magic energy was wrapped around each step.
I felt a spirit I had never felt before in his body.
As if it wasn’t just Tail who noticed that, the audience cheered.
“Mr. What did you do for a week to become so strong?”
“Crazy. Will I just win?”
“I just want to close my eyes. It’s an obvious ending.”
“Wow! Crom Hell, smear that commoner!”
People’s reactions were explosive.
A confident smile spread across Kromhell’s mouth.
“Now, now. Concentration. Then please prepare~”
At Titina’s words, Tail raised his sword obliquely.
Now that this has happened.
‘Perfect win.’
I felt that if I drag something here or win vaguely, there will definitely be gossip.
‘One sum.’
That’s it.
Tail’s eyes hardened.
At the same time, Kromhell also took a stance.
Intangible energy was wrapped around the sword.
“Ohhhhh! I enchanted the sword!”
“Isn’t Chrome Hell normal?”
At that moment, Titina shouted.
“Start!”
Kromhell kicked off the ground and sprang out.
Coo-woong!
As soon as the ground caved in, he rushed forward quickly.
It was difficult to keep an eye on him.
Kromhell laughed inwardly as he saw Tail glaring at him.
In a second, that guy’s sword will be gone.
‘They told me not to injure myself, so I have no choice.’
If it wasn’t for that, I would have beaten that ugly guy.
For this reason, Kromhel’s sword was raised from the bottom up and took a strike posture.
And the moment Tail’s sword and Kromhell’s sword were about to collide.
Ugh-!
A tremendous sword wind blew from Tail’s sword.
A haze of unknown color hovered over the sword.
Kromhell instinctively sensed danger. And she hurried to fall behind her.
But Tail’s sword moved first.
Just before falling behind her, Tail’s sword slashed Chrome Hell’s sword.
I literally drew it.
Kromhell’s wooden sword with black lines.
Suddenly!
It was cut off and fell to the floor.
Kromhell’s face turned white.
….
Her audience fell silent.
She cut off another wooden sword with her wooden sword.
Furthermore, that tremendous intimidating mana that I just saw.
The ability to control that.
You even have the ability to decide when to use it.
Everything was perfect.
I couldn’t say more about this.
It was just a monster itself.
A commoner clapped in the middle of the silent audience.
Pair. Match. Match.
And then people clapped.
Thunderous applause poured out.
I had no choice but to acknowledge Tail’s swordsmanship skills, which could be called perfect.
“Wow. I tore it.”
“Did you just see it? That’s black It’s called black. Sword skills that are hard to handle in the 4th year.”
“Wow. You’re a crazy freshman.”
People whispered.
Among those people, I saw Eugene, Ricky, Ethan and Alice smiling widely.
It was only then that I realized it.
‘I’ve won.’
A smile draped over Tail’s lips.
