I Became the Male Lead who was Clinging onto the Female Leads

Chapter 30

30 – Swordsmanship Sparring Test (3)

The moment Shilin came down the arena.

Tina ran over, her blonde hair flying, and hugged her.

“Sillin! Great job!”

“Ugh… ….”

A huge object pressed against her face.

She would normally have pushed me not to, but there was no strength left in her body.

“…… Go away.”

“Huh?”

“…… Away.”

“Oh, sorry.”

Tina smiled awkwardly and freed Sylin.

Then Silian led the personnel he was with and approached. He smiled brightly and opened his mouth.

“Very well done, Shilin. He was the best swordsmanship genius at the Royal School.”

But Silin passed him and walked in front of Eugene.

“Huh?”

Cillian made a puzzled sound.

Silin stood in front of Yujin and opened her mouth.

“Are you the only one left now?”

At those words, all eyes were on Eugene.

As she said, that was the only test left.

“How many exams are there?”

“…… Come see?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

What are you looking for besides your exam?

Silin stared at her intently, trying to figure out her answer.

“It’s the 7th sparring ground.”

Eugene said she had nothing to hide.

Then…….

“Let’s go, Tina.”

“Will you go first and wait?”

“Yes. I am too tired to go anywhere else.”

Silin led Tina by the arm and set off for her training ground #7. Meanwhile, Tina grabbed Yerina’s arm and pulled her.

“Let’s go with Yerina too~”

“Me too?”

“Yes!”

“Looks like everyone is interested in your sparring?”

“… ….”

Silian also tapped Eugene on the shoulder a few times and followed them.

“Um… ….”

I thought it would turn out like this because of Tina’s declaration today, but seeing it in person made her feel strange. It’s ironic that I gave away all the attention from female leads, but instead received attention.

‘Life is unpredictable.’

With that thought in mind, Eugene also moved to the 7th training ground.

When I arrived at the arena, the test was about halfway done.

All Eugene had to do was wait.

He killed time by staring blankly at the sky.

The test came to an end before anyone knew it, and only two swordsmen remained in front of Yujin.

Tadak!

“What a good sword!”

“Ahh!”

On top of the training ground, a sparring between an ordinary swordsman and Fritz continued.

And centering on that……

There was an unbelievably large crowd.

I knew this would happen.

After Tina’s declaration, interest in Eugene skyrocketed without knowing the end. People flocked to him in an endless stream to confirm his powerlessness, as they would see in the upcoming test.

‘But I didn’t expect it to come this far… ….’

Rumors speak louder than words, and Tina’s declaration spread like lightning and everyone in the first year knew about it.

I wonder if it ends there.

Some of the 2nd and 3rd year students who had acquaintances in the 1st year were visiting.

At this moment, Eugene’s eyes and interest were far superior to those of the three female lead actresses.

Even though there were three generations of heroines nearby, the crowd was busy talking with Eugene.

“Did you hear what happened today?”

“Tina sided with Eugene.”

“Is that really the right decision?”

They talked about what happened today.

“But Eugene changed a few months ago.”

“Is that woman crazy?”

“Yeah, he suddenly became crazy about swords and just practiced.”

“How did you say that?”

We exchanged information about Eugene’s past.

“I heard that it started happening after being run over by a carriage.”

“What carriage?”

“Did he hit his head?”

“Isn’t that your waist?”

We also exchanged information about how Eugene changed.

And finally.

“But after all, if nothing special happens in Dalian today, isn’t it useless?”

“Right. Effort and performance are two different things.”

“Well, you’ll understand when you see it.”

“Because everyone is gathered to see it.”

We exchanged questions about whether Eugene could prove himself.

“Whether we prove something or not, from our point of view, we have a pleasant spectacle.”

“That’s right.”

So, the crowd continued their pleasant talk.

No matter what Eugene shows up, they have nothing to lose.

Excluding Eugene, there was only one student who was not at ease.

“What did I do. What have I done?”

“Tina.”

“Tina, come to your senses.”

“What did I do. What did i do…… !”

“Tina!”

“You have to hold on tight!”

“What am I doing…….”

It was Tina. Even though Silin and Yerina stuck together and helped her, her heart trembled like a reed. Because what she did was bigger than I could have imagined.

As long as Eugene proves it, it won’t matter, but if he doesn’t, everything is over.

Not only did she have to take responsibility for her words, but her Eugene’s reputation was about to fall again.

She didn’t have a bad reputation, though…….

‘Eugene, will you do it?’

Eugene had to show a good image.

‘Will you do it?’

Tina stared at Eugene.

‘Mountains are mountains, water is water… ….’

Yujin looked at the arena with her aloof face.

A student right in front of Eugene was exchanging swords with Fritz.

‘Why should I get this kind of attention!’

The student was trembling from receiving excessive attention from her because of her Eugene. I don’t know if that interest is expected. Most of them were eyes telling me to finish quickly and come out. There was no way I could take a proper test under these circumstances.

“Aagh!”

The student screamed and swung her sword.

“It is a blind sword!”

Taaah!

Fritz swung a clean sword. The student’s wooden sword floated into the air and fell out of the arena.

At the same time, a commotion broke out around the arena.

“Is it Eugene’s turn now?”

“This is the beginning.”

“I waited all this time to see this.”

‘What the hell is this?’

Fritz wiped the sweat from her hair and looked around her. Everyone was waiting for Eugene’s sparring.

‘Is it because of what Tina did?’

Not deaf, he listened to the noise around him to get a rough idea of the situation.

‘Everyone waiting for Eugene’s sparring.’

One day, during his swordsmanship theory class, a student who showed a passionate look in his eyes, Eugene.

He showed great passion for the sword, both in theory and in practice. As a swordsman, he was deeply moved.

He even went through impromptu sparring to see his sword. He was horrified at the sparring, and vowed to meet him sword to sword someday.

‘I didn’t expect it to come this fast.’

Thanks to his swordsmanship sparring test, the opportunity to cross swords with him came.

His own magical power was also limited to the average level of a 3rd grader, so he could put on a good match in his own way.

‘Very good.’

The heart of Fritz, a man who had no talent for swords but loved swords more than anyone else, started beating hotly.

As a swordsman, the spirit of victory and the desire to compete boiled over.

‘I can’t take it anymore.’

Magic energy ran up his neck. A loud cry erupted from his mouth.

“Eugene von Lennon Grace, come up to the arena!”

From noble mtl dot com

At that intense cry, silence fell around the tumultuous arena.

Turbuk─ turbug─

Only the sound of Eugene’s footsteps could be heard. He took a wooden sword, climbed the stairs and stood in the arena.

He lowered his head slightly.

“Eugene von Lennon, I will learn a lesson.”

“Very nice.”

Fritz nodded his head in satisfaction and opened his mouth.

“I hope this sparring, which many people are watching, will not disappoint anyone.”

“I feel the same way.”

“Well, it’s funny to say such a thing in a test, but.”

Fritz continued with an extremely serious face.

“For everyone who pays attention to this fight, can I suggest a match like a real fight?”

“Are you saying we should allow weeding?”

Fritz nodded his head.

“That’s right. Everyone here wants to know the truth of the rumors surrounding you, so it would be great if the test could be changed a bit accordingly. Our Royal School has teachers with a high level of recovery magic, so even if you get a rather dangerous injury, your life won’t be affected.”

“I see.”

“Of course, the choice is yours. Will you accept my offer?”

Eugene’s talent, the swordsman, raised the level of swordsmanship far and wide the more he practiced sparring like real battles.

‘I can’t use the brain sword, but… ….’

According to the conventional wisdom in this world, if you use a lightning sword during sparring, you will be criticized for using magic in a cowardly way, so you cannot use a lightning sword.

Instead, if it was a sparring where salting was allowed, I could show a good figure without a brain sword.

Therefore, there was no reason to reject Fritz’s offer.

“Good.”

“I respect you for your courage.”

There were voices favorable to Eugene’s courage.

“Then I will raise my sword. The seon-gong will yield.”

Fritz raised his sword.

Eugene also raised his sword and took a break.

“Okay, I’ll go.”

“Come!”

Eugene kicked off the ground and ran towards Fritz.

He stopped in front of Fritz, raised his sword and raised it into the air.

Then it landed on Fritz’s head.

It was a blow without any technique or change. But in Fritz’s eyes the black,

Quaaa!

It was faster than any sword.

“Huh!”

Fritz quickly raised his sword and blocked the attack. The downward force was stronger than expected, but it was not unstoppable. The swordsmanship, strength, and magical power he had trained for decades were as hard as a mountain.

Percussion!

Yujin, who was fighting for strength, withdrew her sword and spread the distance. At that moment, Fritz counterattacked.

Love liquid!

It was a single sword aimed at Eugene’s heart. It was a speed that could not be stopped at the student level.

However.

Taaah!

Yujin cut the sword simply. Fritz’s sword passed by Eugene’s side. Eugene swung his sword as fast as lightning.

Whoop!

If Fritz had not instantly gathered his mana and rolled over, it would have been an unavoidable attack.

‘That’s amazing!’

I only mixed a few sums, but with that alone, I could see Eugene’s state. He could never gain the upper hand by being sloppy, as he was with other students.

I had to spread my sword as if dealing with a swordsman of the same skill.

‘I have no choice but to be sincere!’

Fritz opened his eyes wide and kicked the advance. And he swung the speedy sword he had been training his entire life.

It was a swordsmanship far beyond the student level. Even a senior in high school would not be able to avoid embarrassment in front of this swordsmanship.

Taaah!

But Eugene blocked it.

I took a defensive position in all attacks and did not allow a single blow.

And then, whenever Fritz showed an opening, he stabbed a counterattack.

Puck! f*ck!

It was a successful counterattack without being fooled by Fritz’s changes and tricks.

There were scars all over Fritz’s body. The blood that flowed from it soaked his clothes.

“What… ….”

“What am I looking at?”

The faces of those watching Dalian were mesmerized.

Of course, the most embarrassing thing was Fritz himself, who was dealing with Eugene.

“Keugh… ….”

I only thought about putting on a great match, but I never thought about losing.

Isn’t Eugene only a first-year student?

Even if a few months pass and you become a second year student, the fact that you are a first year student has not changed.

First graders were like children at the Royal School.

But being defeated by such an existence?

It was an unprecedented event in the history of the Royal Schools.

‘That shouldn’t be the case!’

Fritz, his bloodshot eyes, opened the danjeon. Powerful magic power flowed through her body. She was determined to apply the same magical power to the next sword.

In the eyes of the opponent, it will look like an attack that consumes most of the mana.

But it was a trick.

When Eugene consumes a lot of magic power to swing the sword to block it, Fritz will take the victory by unleashing the sword he had hidden.

“Ahhh!”

Fritz, who was in full swing, arrived in front of Yujin and brandished a wooden sword with huge magic power. It was a quicksword like a beam of light aiming at a vital point. It was impossible to shed this.

As Fritz thought, Eugene raised his sword and took a defensive position.

‘It’s caught!’

At that moment, Fritz exploded the mana within his body, raising his body’s agility to the extreme. He took out his sword and stabbed Eugene in the gap.

‘Impossible attack!’

It was a mortal blow that was delivered after decades of sword training. Fritz’s sword touched Eugene’s body.

At that moment, Eugene’s form disappeared.

‘What!’

Fritz opened his eyes and looked left and right.

There was nothing to the left.

I looked to the right.

Then I saw Eugene raising his sword into the air.

He loaded his sword with mighty magic power, and swung a perfect slash without an inch of error.

Love love liquid!

Fritz’s complexion turned pale.

The image of Eugene brandishing a sword at his side made him look like a sword demon.
