Episode 38 Midterm exam public tournament.(6)
* * *
“The Trinity Academy Midterm Exam Open Tournament, S-Class Winner’s Group Semi-Finals has begun. As it is a match between two promising prospects in the S-Class, these two cadets are receiving a lot of anticipation and attention. I think it’s good to look forward to seeing who will make it to the final of the winners’ group.”
“The dominance of Ai and cadets is drawn, but as Olivia’s cadets are very good, it is predicted that the match will not be easy.”
“I agree. In particular, both cadets are highly regarded for being very good at predicting the opponent’s attack, so there is a high probability that a long battle will follow.”
Ramen in the Dacapo Dream world has a lot of ingredients.
It’s a good world.
“To tell you one more thing, until now, except for children and cadets, all cadets higher than S-class have been fighting with pure ideological power without weapons, right? Of course, cadet Park Seong-jin used a car, but since it cannot be called a weapon, it is left out of the discussion, and the memorization used by children and cadets is more of a secondary weapon than a main weapon. But only. But for this match, both cadets have their main weapon ready.”
Oh, you said you both brought swords?
I’m surprised.
“Yes! Cadet Aina has prepared a sword, and Cadet Olivia has prepared a rapier. They both appear to be personal weapons, not cadet weapons.”
“If you look closely, the seal of the Mitsuru family is engraved on the sword of Aina Cadet. It is speculated that it is one of the swords handed down to the Mitsuru family.”
I don’t know what kind of sword it is.
There are quite a few swords that have been passed down to the Mitsuru family.
Moreover, since the original work of this work is a novel, it is difficult to distinguish what kind of sword it is just by looking at its appearance.
However, what is certain is that they are not the four major swords of the Mitsuru family.
“It’s an interesting composition. Aina Cadet brought the family sword, while Olivia Cadet brought the famous sword, but it is a general product sold in the workshop. Although they are different swords, the duel between Eastern and Western swordsmen, ‘which is superior between a famous sword from a famous workshop or a sword handed down from family members?’ However, as children and cadets have a reputation for their superior swordsmanship skills, I think Olivia cadets might be a little behind when it comes to sword battles.”
If it were, I wouldn’t have picked up the rapier in the first place.
Olivia is a bitch who can’t do anything if it’s limited to using her body.
“The two cadets quickly run towards each other without any hesitation. At this rate, I think we’ll see each other within three minutes.”
Both sides want to see each other in an all-out war.
It’s going to be a pretty fun fight.
“Two cadets have met! It’s still Aina who gives the first attack! The night environment is the best environment for children and cadets!”
At first, the shadows on the floor only swayed like a gentle wave.
However, everyone knew it wouldn’t end with a simple wave.
The calm wave soon turned into a powerful one, and the strong current soon turned into a huge wave (?), finally becoming a tidal wave, moving forward with the momentum to devour all the roads Olivia was standing on.
“Are you a child or a cadet, intending to finish it at the beginning? It’s true that it’s a menacing attack, but it looks like it must have consumed a significant amount of casualty?”
“First of all, Olivia’s response seems to be more important! This attack looks hard to avoid!”
“The size of the shadow tidal wave is enormous! It’s only about 12 meters high, will Olivia Cadet be able to avoid it!”
Oh, it’s coming out loud.
Well, couldn’t Olivia just have predicted this?
you’ll do really well
“Cadet Olivia is running! Although the speed of the shadow tidal wave is not very fast, it is much faster than a human leap! Running and running away is not a very good option, is it?”
“Cadet Olivia is heading to the river with the drawbridge! A lot of shadows will escape under the bridge, but even taking that into account, the tsunami is too high… No, wait. no way!”
look at that
’cause you know you’ll be fine
“Cadet Olivia has activated the drawbridge! Olivia’s cadet jumps up the lifted drawbridge!”
“That way you can definitely avoid the shadow tsunami!”
Olivia was standing on the chin of the fully raised drawbridge.
The figure, standing balancing on the chin of the thin drawbridge, was so precarious that it made the livers of viewers shrivel.
However, Olivia, as usual, was just making a playful expression.
“Now, getting down is the key! You’ve done a good job avoiding it, but if you can’t get down there and isolate yourself, you’re defeated!”
Without the slightest hesitation, Olivia jumped off the drawbridge.
Then, I put a rapier on the side of the drawbridge that was lined at 90 degrees to prevent acceleration, applied a few brakes, and landed safely.
“You’re coming down with a rapier!”
“Cadet Olivia, you are amazing!”
That’s great.
I’d never do something like that.
“But the reality is grim. Olivia’s cadets did some amazing scenes, but in reality, it’s almost like a kid or a cadet constantly putting pressure on Olivia’s cadets. Olivia’s cadets, you can’t just avoid running around forever! We must counterattack!”
Olivia runs to Aina.
The calm waters of the past were nowhere to be seen, and the sharp spear of shadows continued to rise from the sea of shadows boiling like a geyser.
Even the Shadow Spear isn’t the only thing holding Olivia in check.
The memorization that Aina throws was also bustling with Olivia, so there was not one thing Olivia had to worry about.
However, Olivia did not allow even a single blow, and proceeded step by step cutting through the memorized and shadowy spears.
1 step.
2 steps.
3 steps.
As Olivia and Aina get closer, Aina’s attack gets stronger.
Nevertheless, Olivia calmly and calmly deflected the attack and moved forward.
The moment the distance between the two was completely reduced, the sword conversation began.
Olivia took the lead.
Light stab containment to subdue the baseline.
Aina pars easily.
This time, it’s Aina’s bell cutting.
Olivia raised her rapier and blocked Aina’s sword with her crossguard.
It seems that both of them have been practicing swordsmanship for a long time.
The fight went on without a break.
The sum of what the two exchanged with each other was uncountable.
“Cadet Olivia, were you a cadet who handled rapiers that well?”
“Ai or cadet, they were famous for their sword wielding skills, but since cadet Olivia hardly ever heard of using a weapon in the first place, cadets probably weren’t expecting much! However, as if to break that prejudice, he is showing off his great swordsmanship skills! Olivia Cadet!”
It can be seen that each other’s swords are getting heavier.
It’s because the sum is remarkably slow.
No, was he simply gazing at the angle and looking for an opportunity?
Attacks so far were incomparably accurate and swift, and the attack was directed towards Aina’s eyes.
If it were me, of course, that blow would have pierced my brain and collapsed, but Aina is not a criminal like me.
Olivia’s stab was struck with a sword in an instant.
The paring that Aina showed me was a parring that was close to wearing even to me, who didn’t know much about swords.
However, as if Olivia knew that her attack was going to be blocked, she was not at all embarrassed by the parry of the stab.
Knowing that Olivia wasn’t flustered wasn’t just reading from her expression or mood.
As soon as Olivia’s stab was stopped, she pulled out her sword, snatched Aina’s neck, and threw it to the floor.
If I had been embarrassed, I wouldn’t have been able to show such a soft connection.
With this, Olivia’s Thought and Cursed Touch are equivalent to 2 stacks.
No matter how fast Aina reacts, she’s lying on the floor, so one more attack must be hit.
Expectations were right.
If Aina was very good at interpersonal fighting like Katarina, Aina was originally from an assassin family.
It means that he is not suitable for brawling and fighting with people.
Naturally, it was difficult to get out of Olivia’s mount position, and he eventually allowed an extra hit.
“With this, the game is turned over in an instant! It’s time to reveal the true nature of Olivia’s cadets!”
“Olivia’s cadet’s thinking power, the touch of the curse, doesn’t require a very difficult activation condition, but if the conditions are met, it is a very powerful thought power that is close to victory! From now on, Aina must not only deal with Olivia, but her pets as well!”
Olivia, are you serious?
It seems that it was very disappointing to draw against Aina during the last training session.
He must have thought that if he used the skills he had seen to a certain extent, he would be able to beat Aina.
Even then, he wasn’t 100% perfect at his ability.
“Minions are starting to appear from the rift!”
“It’s disgusting!”
“Even heroes are disgusting with bugs!”
“Absolutely!”
An army of beetles attacks Aina.
Is it homage?
A while ago, waves of black shadows hit Olivia, but now waves of black bugs hit Aina.
It is said that the tentacles of the shadows are slaughtering all the beetles, but it is unknown how long they will last.
Olivia’s pets are those that gradually get stronger over time, so there’s a limit to just blocking them blindly.
“ah! New pets are starting to appear!”
“They are pets that deliver lethal acid blasts. Up to this point, Ai or a cadet is still good enough to block, but from Stage 3 onwards, a summons powerful enough to be hard to stop even active heroes will appear, so Ai or Cadet must fight here!”
The shadows of Aina, who were busy blocking the summons, quickly gathered around Olivia.
And, the gathered shadows became a single black sphere and surrounded Olivia.
“Children and cadets! Let’s raise the number of wins!”
“Tier 1 beetles move quickly, but Tier 2 pet acid lizards are very slow. He has a little time to get to him, so it looks like he’s going to stop defending here and focus on his attack as much as possible.”
“The shadow spheres are getting denser! Cadet Olivia’s life reaction is obviously getting lower and lower! However, the lizards have already reached the nose of the child or cadet! Who will win!”
At that moment, something was ejected from the black sphere.
The long, pointed object was heading towards Aina’s heart.
“It’s Olivia’s cadet rapier!”
“Certainly I don’t have to be black anymore! Olivia Cadet! Never give up until the very end!”
… !
do you react to that?
Aina also reacted to Olivia’s sudden surprise.
With his sword, he deflected the flying rapier.
However, the surprise attack could not be completely prevented as it was an unexpected surprise even for Aina.
It was all about narrowing the trajectory to the heart.
The bounced direction is to the right.
A long rapier is stuck in Aina’s right chest now.
finished.
No matter how Aina is, she will never be able to last long in that state.
If that’s the end of it, I don’t know, Olivia’s summons are still approaching Aina unharmed.
Still, Aina struggled to get up, as if she would not give up.
Then, I slowly stepped forward.
However, that step did not last long.
[Winner, Olivia Teixeira. The third exam is over.]
