33. Clash

Special sparring.

It literally meant an evaluation of special sparring between cadets that ordinary cadets do.

As it marks the finale of the practical evaluation when the Awakened Academy opens.

The skills of the two cadets conducting the special sparring were incredible.

But this special sparring was even more special.

Usually, it was an implicit tradition of special sparring that the first and second place students of the grade with the highest potential would spar.

Unusually, the sparring between 1st place and 589th place was designated as a ‘special sparring’.

However, no one offered an opinion or expressed dissatisfaction.

No, it was actually good.

No matter who fights with Jane, who is said to be the biggest monster of all time at the Awakened Academy, the outcome is obvious.

The 589th place, who immediately killed the jewel golem that could not be defeated even though the academy’s first place, cadets, and outsiders attacked it for several days, is labeled as the current first place?

It’s hard to explain unless he’s been doing all kinds of crazy things and hiding his powers for a long time.

Roxer, who has been spreading a lot of tinder with stories about him, is abandoning his sparring match with the current academy leader?

“Hey, who do you really think will win?”

“If you look at the rankings alone, it’s Jane…”

It was truly a hot topic in Changan, or rather, it was a meteor level that fell in Changan.

Is this why the story of a stalker who was always ignored hiding his powers and then revealing them always works well?

Thanks to this, it has become a good snack for cadets who have just become adults and do not have a game tomorrow at night bars.

No, rather, instead of beer, their drink was the special sparring scheduled for tomorrow.

“Isn’t that Roxxer guy working again!?”

“If what I’ve done so far isn’t a fluke, then what…”

“Oh, no way… Jane will lose?”

Even as the night deepened, a tense discussion took place.

Some of the cadets even thought that Roxer, who was acting like a terrible stalker, would win.

“Of course my brother wins!!!”

“Ching!? Are you saying that Roxxer broke it!??”

“What are you talking about? Brother is real!!!”

I took a sip of the cold beer and hit the table! That’s what I said.

“I think that talented guy will win.”

“Tae-seok!? Even you??”

A while ago, while abandoning his evil ways, his life was saved by Rokseo.

Tae-seok, who bowed down and reflected on himself, was like that.

From noble mtl dot com

Of course, it wasn’t just them.

“That Jane loses…”

He was once called a genius, but now he is treated like a mere student, shadowed by the great pinnacle of Jane.

The cadets, whose pride had been trampled upon by Jane, unconsciously hoped for Roxer’s victory.

However, because Jane was so popular, more people expected Roxer to lose.

Because what Jane has shown so far is more extensive and numerous than what Roxer showed in the first place.

Not only the cadets but also the analysts at large guilds made that prediction.

“Why did the guild leader suddenly ask me to analyze this guy?”

“Destroyed the Jewel Golem core, killed members of the Dishonored Killing Squad, massacred the Lizard Man and the King, and used a sword that destroyed magic and other abilities… Plus, he has skills that are no joke? Looking at it like this, it’s worth analyzing, right?”

“Have you really been hiding your power all this time? This is the first time the guild leader has given direct orders.”

Is it because the information about Roxxer reached the ears of a high-ranking official of a large guild?

In a laboratory-like place, countless information about Jane and Roxxer were laid out and an in-depth analysis was conducted.

When everyone is on fire in the confrontation between the cadet who is said to be the top with unprecedented talent and the academy’s last place who has hidden his power until now.

“I have to go to bed early because I have a game with Jane tomorrow.”

Roxer, the center of attention, went to bed early to get in shape for tomorrow’s important game.

I was so excited about the battle with Jane that I thought I might have trouble sleeping.

“…I fell asleep quickly…”

As soon as he fell asleep, Rika appeared from the shadows and, just as she said, he fainted and fell asleep within seconds.

It was because she was overworking her body every time, so Rika naturally snuggled into Roxxer’s blanket.

Rika lay face down in Roxer’s arms, peeking his face out of the blanket.

He leaned his chin slightly and looked at Rokseo.

“Where does the guy I said I like the best go…”

Rika pressed Roxa’s cheek, who was sleeping soundly, with her finger, as if pressing a doorbell.

I leaned my face into Roxer’s arms with an expression that said I really wanted to say a lot.

After the game, I was walking around with Roxer and talking about various things, and something about the relationship between men and women came up.

A strange conclusion was reached when Rika, who had strong pride, and Roxer, who had strong inhibitions, met.

“What? You understand that kind of skinship is only possible in a relationship with childhood friends?”

Recalling what Roxas said at that time, Rika made a sad expression.

I can’t believe that the guy who could barely hide the look in his eyes like an animal hunting for prey every time Rika tempted him said something like that.

It was clear that she knew that she was seducing him, pretending not to know.

“Let’s see how far is allowed in a childhood friend relationship.”

Rika slightly puffed out her cheeks and buried her face in his arms.

‘I will definitely make you like me again like you did when you were young.’

When Rok Seo was young, she would often crawl into his bedroom or he would come into her bed.

Thinking back to that time, Rika vowed to never let Roxxer return to being her stalker again.

‘How long have I waited….’

I will go back to when we were young and we liked each other so much that we promised to get married. I closed my eyes as I made up my mind.

###

Fit-! Roxer’s sparring sword, accompanied by a sound, split the air in the sparring waiting room.

Rokseo came here to warm up and check everything he had learned before the sparring with Jane.

“…Good.”

I flashed the smooth blade and reflected myself.

Her idle thoughts disappeared and only the thought of winning the battle sparkled through her red eyes.

After confirming everything he had learned, Rokseo lowered his sword and stepped forward.

“…Hey! Lo, Roxxer!”

“???”

For some reason, Erin appeared with her arms crossed as she stood on her way up to the stadium.

At that moment, a question mark bloomed in Roxer’s head as he felt as if he had met a puppy in an unexpected place.

‘Mr. Woo…. I just saw something like that… !’

Erin closed her green eyes and took out her bluish staff with a serious expression.

It is not allowed for someone to give buffs or reinforcements in advance during the sparring evaluation.

Completely recover your body before sparring with her.

It was even allowed to eliminate fatigue.

In other words, Jane has already received condition care from other female cadets.

Erin approached Roxer, who didn’t receive it, and hesitated. She waved her wand and cast a spell on Roxer that relieved all the fatigue from her body.

“Huh? Why suddenly?”

When the white light flashed, Roxer, whose physical condition had noticeably improved, was taken aback.

Erin is still awkward and a little uncomfortable with Roxer.

“Heh, heh! I’m doing it because Rika asked me so much! Don’t misunderstand! And!

She grunted and pretended that she never did it because she wanted to.

‘Really…. Handwriting and practical skills, why did you hide your skills and do something like stalking me…!’

Maybe it’s because a lot of things happened in a short period of time.

Erin said she didn’t know how to deal with Roxxer yet.

But it is true that Rokseo saved her life, and it is also true that she lost 30 consecutive bets.

“It’s true that you made a bet with me… And that you also saved my life…”

Roxas was somewhat convinced by Erin’s pouting expression as she tapped the floor with her small toes.

But she had the battle on her mind right now and had no time to pay attention to Erin.

Feeling uncomfortable with her strange silence that followed, Erin let out her anger as if to shake off her shame.

“Woo! I did this for you, so make sure you win!!”

Rokseo chuckled at the sight of Erin seemingly taking care of her not-so-close friend.

“She’s not confident?”

“What!? I came and did it for you!?”

Whether Erin squirms like a puppy or not, Roxer moves on with a much lighter body.

Erin looked behind the still mischievous Roxxer with her lips pouting.

“I’m not confident I’ll lose.”

As Rokseo smiled her wry smile, she glanced at Erin and climbed into her sparring room.

The stadium is crowded with people as it is the last sparring match.

If I hadn’t taken note of the swordsmanship I did right before the match, I would have been distracted by her pressure.

And.

“””Jane! Jane! Jane-!”””

“Waaa-! Kids!!!”

Is there not only a harem made up of female cadets, but also a fan club?

Jane, cheered with a banner, came up onto the stadium like a butterfly.

‘It’s amazing in many ways.’

At that time, I wondered if Rokseo was the main character after all.

“Hey son~!! Big brother is coming!!! Take him to the full course!!!”

With the rough and majestic voice of Ching, who said earlier that he would treat Rokseo as his older brother.

The cadets are big and look like they have a lot of fun….

“””Let’s go!!! Big brother!!!”””

…Some kind of gangster put Roxeo in an awkward position by bowing his head politely as if he was attending to his big brother.

‘No, it wasn’t a lie to say it was in the top ten!?’

Ching fought quite well, but I had no idea that he was leading an organization or something.

‘What…. He’s not just a guy who speaks empty words, but he’s also a guy with a good reputation.’

The reputation of Rokseo is not that good yet.

There were some cadets who usually viewed him unfavorably, but they bowed their heads to him without a moment of hesitation.

Because I clearly saw his skills in Ching’s sparring.

Among the cadets under Ching-ui, there was not a fool who did not acknowledge him.

Is that why it is like that?

“””Wow-!!!”””

When Rokseo waved his hand as if telling him to raise his head, they cheered him on with a loud shout.

‘…I was just told to sit down.’

Roxer was grateful for the support, but couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, so he broke into a cold sweat.

“Wow! You tamed all those kids in one day, Roxxer!?!”

Then Jane, who was impressed by this, gave her a look of respect.

I wondered if it was right to do that to the person I was going to spar with from now on.

But with the sound of the trumpet the game starts.

“As expected!! You’re amazing!!! So show me-!!!”

“Ugh!?!”

Zane, who had narrowed the distance in an instant, clashed his swords with flashing blue eyes full of speculation.

Although he is usually fierce and idiotic, when he starts fighting, he turns into a killing machine.

The two swords collide right in front of Rokseo’s red eyes, sending out metallic sparks!! I vomited it out.

“Show me all the strength and skills you are hiding!!!”

Jane smiled handsomely and began pouring out everything to Roxer from the beginning.
