35 – Just as you thought

Born Zaborg, who won the first round, returned to the spearmanship camp with a somewhat confused expression.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Geo Strandal greets Born for his hard work in a flat voice.

Born shrugged his shoulders as if it was nothing and opened his mouth.

“The department of thieves is not my opponent.”

“Hmm. But, Yohan-kun is a little different, right?”

Flinch!

When Yohan’s name came out of Geo’s mouth, Born reacted as if he had been stabbed in a sore spot. Ji-oh, who watches Born’s reaction as if it’s interesting, puts a meaningful smile on his lips.

“Dalian at the entrance ceremony. I was impressed.”

“Ugh… ! That, that sparring is just a bit out of focus.”

Born bit his lip and said.

In fact, she knows best. That the winner of the sparring was none other than John.

When the entry for the exchange match was announced, he was inadvertently relieved that he was not Yohan’s opponent.

By the way, how could Geo Strandal poke the thorns under his fingernails like this?

The subject of commoners is also great.

“Is it really okay for you to be so relaxed?”

“Hmm. I don’t think I’ll be back until my turn.”

“That’s right.”

The next contestant in the spearmanship department is Saad Bilt. Although he doesn’t measure up to himself, he is an outstanding talent who attracts public attention. The evaluation is dominant that he is a talent worthy of the name of the Bild family.

Sad Bilt’s specialty is ignorant mana.

He is famous for his skill in long-term warfare, as well as having a mana barrel as wide as the sea, which is rare among warriors.

Sad Bild has a personal relationship with Born. This is because the Zaborg family and the Wild family, the spearman families, have had frequent exchanges since ancient times. Born had a number of sparring encounters with THAAD.

He is definitely a genius. He is the so-called Sara Leoris, Arsha Sword Horn, or he is not on his level, but if he had not been born in the golden generation, he would have been able to aim for even the 3rd seat.

“The thing that THAAD loses…. I can’t even imagine.”

Born watched Sade’s duel with his arms crossed.

“After… ! Sierra students…. Are you ready? Clothes… ?”

Professor Izumi confirmed Sierra’s readiness.

“Yes! I’m ready!”

There was no tension in Sierra’s look, her gun-filled eyes sparkling. The ‘Strategy’ that Yohan whispered to me was very helpful.

Facing Sierra, Saad Bilt was a man who showed off his presence like a massive golem. His skin color is generally dark, but not because of his race. My body was burnt thanks to training under the scorching sun.

A straight nose, thick lips, and strong eyes visible through tangled hair.

Saad, who has his own charming charm point, took a step forward from Sierra. He stepped in front of Sierra with a determined expression and slowly opened his mouth.

“I am SAD BIL. I fell in love with you at first sight.”

Sad makes bombshell remarks in a low and solemn voice that matches his appearance.

All the students around him shouted in surprise at his sudden confession.

“What, what!? SAD guy. Why all of a sudden at this timing!?”

“Well, that Sierra girl. Although she is quite pretty.”

“Damn it! I was also looking for timing.”

“Won’t a girl named Ellie Janet be okay? If it wasn’t for the thief department, I would have confessed….”

“What does the department have to do with love!? This happened to me too….”

“The mandible…. Mandible…. Mr. John…. Actually, Yohan….”

“You crazy bastard. You are a man!”

Sierra also squinted her eyes with a dumbfounded expression.

This is the first time I’ve received such a direct confession from someone else. In his dangerous back alley, there were many people who tried to do something with his body, but no one confessed his love.

“After… ! Sierra students! You can’t be shaken. Clothes… ! This is definitely an advanced psychological warfare… !”

“It is not a lie or deceit. My heart is crying for you Sierra Grimkeeper. Answer my heart!”

At Sade’s intense confession, Sierra scratched her cheek and answered without hesitation.

“I’m sorry.”

An instant answer without any worries.

Seeing Sierra like that, Sade collapsed like an arrow.

“Kuhhh… ! Seriously, I can’t believe someone I’m already dating… ?”

“Uh…. Would it be similar… ?”

At Sade’s knock, Sierra replied with her cheeks blushing the color of ripe peaches. She is, no matter who sees it, she is a woman in love.

“To think there was already an owner….”

“Don’t give up, SAD! Originally, the ax of love is to be chopped until it is done!”

“By the way, who are you dating? No way….”

THAAD was not the only one disappointed by Sierra’s declaration. The other male students in her spearmanship department, who secretly liked her, vomited their disappointment at her.

“If she had a boyfriend, she couldn’t help it…. What I lacked was always speed. I’m a bit late again….”

“Um, over there….”

“I don’t need to comfort you. Sierra Grimkeeper. I respect your choice.”

“No. Even if she didn’t meet anyone in particular…. I don’t think I’ve ever met you.”

“Huh… !”

Sierra’s continuous attack made Sade droop as if she had been hit by her fatal blow. John looked at Sierra and raised her thumb.

“Good~! Miss Sierra! She won the momentum battle and went in~!”

Ellie also cheered with a wide smile, as if she had forgotten about her unsightly defeat in the previous match.

“Aww… ! If this is the case, we will definitely win! Sierra Grimkeeper. Raise your arms!”

Sade shouted confidently, gripping his spear. Knowing that both sides were ready, Professor Izumi and Professor Xenia simultaneously announced the start of the duel.

“”Begin the duel!””

“Sea Lance! Chapter 1, crashing waves!”

Like Born in the first round, Sade attacked Sierra using powerful skills from the start.

Sea Lance is the secret spearmanship of the Wild family.

It is an advanced spearmanship that delivers high-density attacks based on mana as abundant as the sea.

If Born’s Spear Soul is a spear technique based on ‘slashing’, Sade’s Sea Lance is a spear technique based on ‘piercing’.

At the tip of THAAD’s spear, blue mana gathers like a huge drop of water. The heavily concentrated mana spread widely in line with the movement of THAAD, which spurred the ground and rushed forward. Like the name of the technology, its shape reminded us of menacing waves hitting the beach.

However, as if expecting such an attack, Sierra quickly pulled back. THAAD’s attack was devastating, but not fast.

-Sad Bild will definitely take the lead. Never fight back. Don’t block, always avoid. Sea Lance’s characteristic is its threatening destructive power.

Sierra focused her mind on John’s advice.

“I avoided THAAD’s attack!”

“Isn’t Sade’s spearman similar to Born in terms of power?”

“A. No matter what, Born is the top.”

After successfully passing the first attack, the opponent’s gap is visible. It’s time for an appetizing counterattack.

-There is only one timing.

However, I persevered. It’s not the timing yet.

“You are fast. So what about this one? Sea Lance, Chapter 2! A stormy sea!”

I leaned my upper body forward enough to make me wonder if Sade would fall. Strong winds blew in all directions because of the mana flowing terribly through his spear.

“Hmm. That is threatening.”

Gio Strandal, who was watching the game, muttered with a pale smile.

Sad’s tilting spear pierced the ground, not Sierra. One of the spearmanship students who was watching the game was about to say ‘A mistake?’ But shut up.

Koo-goo-goo-goo!

Blue mana gushes out like hot spring water from the ground that THAAD stabbed. And starting with that, geysers of mana exploded one after another at regular intervals. It’s like a scene where explosives buried underground explode with time lapses.

The mana blast split into three branches and moved forward. Geysers of split mana hit Sierra from three directions at once. It is a skill that makes up for the somewhat lacking speed with an explosive area of attack.

The left and right sides are caught, and even if you move backwards, you will be hit by the mana geyser in front.

From anyone’s point of view, Sierra was in desperate crisis. Mana bursts out from under Sierra’s feet.

“I won!”

To the extent that one of the spearman students shouted that.

However, the battle did not end there.

Boom!

“After… ! That skill….”

It was not Sierra that was caught in the geyser of mana, but a large log.

[Level 2]: When attacked, creates a log with a certain probability and at the same time blinks a short distance to evade the enemy’s attack. The probability of successful evasion is proportional to the Luck value, and the blink distance is proportional to the Agility value. After evading, the next attack has a 50% chance to have a critical hit effect.

Cooldown: 3 hours

– Counterattack immediately after the opponent uses ‘Storm of Storms’

“Shuriken Burst!”

Five stars flying toward THAAD.

Saad, realizing the opponent’s counterattack, immediately cast a defense skill.

“Mana Armor!”

-Thad will definitely use mana armor.

The mana armor that wrapped around Sade’s body bounced off five daggers. But it’s not a pointless attack. The commendation and armor disappeared together.

Sierra didn’t miss the moment. As if possessed by a hawk that found a rabbit, she closed the distance to Sade with great speed.

“To engage in close combat against a spearman! Sierra Grimkeeper! What a foolish choice!”

Sad’s spear shot like an arrow and aimed at Sierra.

-When the opponent is fully approached.

Stormy Sea is a very powerful skill like its gorgeous effect, but it has one drawback. The fatal flaw that immediately after using the skill, the physical defense is terribly low.

So THAAD overcame this shortcoming through a skill called Mana Armor. However, now the mana armor has been pierced by Sierra’s Shuriken Burst.

‘Still, I have the upper hand in close combat!’

Sad’s spear, chasing Sierra with peak concentration, suddenly stopped. Because she lost Sierra.

“!?”

[Level 3]: Avoid the opponent’s attack with quick and flexible movements, or shorten the distance for an instant. The probability of successful evasion is proportional to agility and luck.

Cooldown: 7 minutes (10 – skill level)

-Feed the last shot with a speed step. Then, game over.

“I won.”

Tak!

In an instant, Sierra moved to the back of Sade and struck Sade’s nape with the capital. Originally, he would have endured with toughness, but the defense of THAAD, which was weakened by the recoil of using the skill, completely allowed Sierra’s attack.

“Sad’s mana…. Has disappeared… ?”

Born Zaborg, who was watching the duel, muttered that with a stupid expression. What was reflected in his pupils was Saad Bilt, who rolled his eyes and collapsed.
