I Became the Golden Sun That Steals the Academy’s Aircraft

046. Competitive match

The competitive match will be divided into preliminary rounds and final rounds for each grade. As the number of cadets was large, the preliminary round was a battle royale in which a total of ten cadets entered one stadium and the last three who survived advanced.

Once a total of 30 people advance first, the fallen cadets are divided into two teams and a battle royale is held once again. Only one survivor from each team advances to the finals through the loser resurrection match.

On the other hand, the finals are the last straw.

In other words, it was conducted in a tournament format that lasted until a winner emerged.

The 32 finalists faced a randomly selected opponent 1:1, and only the cadet who won the match could advance to the next round. Therefore, it was important to analyze each other quickly and come up with customized strategies.

In fact, the participants who advanced to the finals watched as many games as possible and did their best to gain information about their opponents. No matter how good your opponent’s manipulation skills are, there is nothing you can’t win if you develop a customized strategy through thorough analysis.

The last person who survives through repeated duels becomes the winner of the competition for each grade.

Once the competition winners for each grade are selected, a friendly match will be played before the awards ceremony.

The purpose was to teach juniors as a senior. It was a kind of tradition that arose because higher-ranking cadets had deeper learning and were often more capable than lower-ranking cadets.

Of course, it did not mean that the lower grades could never defeat the upper grades. She is currently in her second year of therapy. Princess Princess of Seraphi won her first year’s competition last year and then achieved the feat of beating all of her upper grades in a sparring match against them.

It was possible because she had already received the title of knight and was Seraphina, who was roaming the battlefield at a young age, but there were times when an outstanding lower grade beat the upper grade. Usually, such cadets became famous in some way after graduating from the academy.

Once the friendly matches are over, an awards ceremony will be held for the competitive matches. The winner of each grade will be awarded a medal and a reward, and the cadets who won the friendly competition will be listed on the academy’s list of past competitive winners.

Usually, most of them came from famous noble families or the imperial family, but there was one case where Maximilion, who currently leads a large mercenary guild, won the final championship as a commoner.

Meanwhile, it was the first-year division that Gilbert belonged to that attracted the most attention during this competitive match. He was in the year that experienced the unprecedented attack on the Academy, and the main reason for his interest was that he prevented the attack without any damage.

What kind of talent did the new students have that prevented the Resistance’s attack?

That curiosity caused a stir inside and outside the academy.

Naturally, interest in Gilbert, who was the center of the defense against the attack, began to peak.

The famous Iron-Blooded Margrave and rumored to be a madman had spread throughout the empire that he had blocked as many as seven giant warriors with just one giant sword without any damage.

The new student also brilliantly blocked the attack by the bastard and the academy. It was inevitable that attention would be focused on the main character of the rumor that did not fit each other.

And the people in the Lithuanian territory were the most curious after hearing these rumors.

“Did you hear that? Well, that bastard said he defeated all the resistance fighters who invaded Demiia Academy.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? How could that bastard?”

Commonly known as a bastard.

It was a word used as slang among the residents of the territory to refer to Gilbert. The residents of the territory, who suffered from his vicious personality, always used slang when talking about Gilbert. This was because there was an incident where a commoner who mentioned his name was dragged away and found dead.

“But it’s true. Wasn’t there an uproar in the territory that the imperial family had even awarded him a knighthood?”

“That was real? The world has come to an end. A bastard is even awarded such an honorable title.”

“Even if he was a damn bastard, his blood can’t be deceived. They say he got good grades in the academy entrance mock competition.”

It wasn’t just the residents of the territory who were surprised by Gilbert’s performance.

Even among Gilbert’s family, the Earl of Hart, most people responded that they could not believe it. His family and servants, who watched him closer than anyone else, could never believe it, but he could not help but believe it when the count sent him a royal decree granting him the title of knight.

Then the question flowed in a different direction.

How on earth did you become an article?

“On earth. How did that bastard brother become a knight?”

“Miss! Be careful what you say. If the Count hears it, he will scold you again.”

“I understand. I understand, but I have to say what I have to say. Honestly, don’t you think so too, Anna?”

“Miss Dorothy!”

Dorothy Flamma Hart.

Gilbert’s younger sister and aspiring knight couldn’t believe that her own bastard brother had been awarded the prestigious knighthood.

To be honest, Gilbert was trash. This fact did not change even if she judged objectively, excluding her subjective judgment.

To be more precise, his abilities were insignificant, and he was filled with bravado and vanity. The only thing worth looking at about him was his appearance, but he was such a poor person that he couldn’t use even that properly.

For Dorothy, Gilbert was an older brother who made her feel ashamed just because they shared the same blood.

However, as soon as this shameful guy entered Demeia Academy, he began to commit unbelievable acts several times.

It seemed like she won first place in the entrance mock competition, and then suddenly news came that she had become the exclusive student of Brianna Tefeo Malki Raab, a renowned swordsman.

Dorothy, an aspiring knight and Brianna’s biggest fan, had no idea how surprised she was when she heard that Brianna’s exclusive disciple, whom she had even dreamed of, had become her older brother.

But now she successfully prevented an unprecedented attack on the Academy and was awarded a knighthood?

I couldn’t understand it with Dorothy’s common sense.

“I can’t do it. I have to go this time.”

“You’re going? Are you saying you’re going to Demeia Academy?”

“Okay. I need to take a look at that bastard brother. I was wondering what on earth led him to do such a ridiculous thing.”

“Are you planning to go as the Count’s representative?”

“Yes. Because my father won’t leave here anyway.”

The Margrave of Iron and Blood did not leave the Lithuanian territory. He felt a sense of responsibility that something might happen while he was away, so he never left the territory after becoming margrave.

For that reason, Demeia Academy’s competitive matches always featured the acting Count. Usually, her second brother went instead of her first brother, but this time she decided to go herself.

“Speaking of which, I have to go now. Your father is in the office, right?”

“Yes. As far as I know, that’s true.”

“Okay. Let’s go.”

Dorothy headed to the office of the Count of Lithuania with her personal maid, Anna. He asked to come in in front of the office, and he was immediately told to come in.

“Dorothy, what brought you here?”

Dorothy listened to the count’s words, who did not take his eyes off the documents he was processing even though her daughter had arrived, and immediately revealed the reason she had come here.

“I would like to go to Demeia Academy as the Count’s representative, father.”

The Count, who was scribbling down documents, looked at his daughter. He thought for a moment why he was making such a request, but the answer came quickly.

“It’s because of Gilbert.”

“That’s right. I have to see my brother in person.”

The Count tapped the office desk with his index finger. He thought about Gilbert, whom he had met briefly before leaving for Demeia Academy.

What happened was quite different from usual. The guy who always seemed embarrassed in front of him was standing proudly in front of him that time, his eyes unwavering.

He asked him to prove it, but honestly, the Count was giving up on Gilbert. I was not so disappointed as the jokes played by the man named Jangja were no different from the local parakho.

The words to prove it at that time were simply the last opportunity given to him as a father and a kind of opportunity to cut off lingering attachments. The son he had watched so far was hopeless.

But, as if to ridicule that idea, he was writing down his steps in bold, starting with an entrance mock battle. He initially thought it was misinformation, but it wasn’t.

He was performing better than anyone else, as if he had become a different person.

Becoming a knight as an academy cadet was already enough to prove the point I had been given.

“Good. Let’s go. You can hear more details from your second brother.”

“Thank you! Father.”

“It’s done. Just go out.”

Dorothy first shared this good news with Anna, who was waiting as she left the office.

“I got permission from my father!”

“Congratulations, young lady.”

“Let’s go to my second brother first. He told me to take over the handover.”

“I’ll take you there. Let’s go, young lady.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

Dorothy headed to her second brother, who was still living at the training center today.

Fortunately for her, it was clearly communicated to her what she must do and what she must not do. Thanks to this, there was no great difficulty in understanding all the duties of the Count’s representative.

Now there is only one thing left.

All I had to do was head to Demeia Academy to see Gilbert.
