24 – Let’s Kill Each Other

“Question. Deuce.”

A clear and clean voice like the ringing of a bell, but a straight core can be felt inside.

Looking back at the epicenter of the voice, there was a beautiful, iron rose.

A neatly tied up long hair that draws the eye, as if noble gold was woven with gold thread.

A body with feminine curves was wrapped in tough steel.

In the blue eyes that reminded me of the clear sky, I could see a strong will that could not be broken by any external pressure.

A shield large enough to cover the entire upper body was worn on the back.

With one hand on the handle of the sword at the waist so that he could leave the water at any time, that tight posture.

A knight of protection who protects his lord no matter what dangers come his way.

It was itself.

“Yes. Please tell me. Miss Char Sylvest.”

“…….”

I wonder if he didn’t like that he was treated as a daughter of a noble family rather than a knight.

The woman, who frowned for a moment with her fine eyebrows, hardened her expression again and said.

“In a one-on-one duel, a wizard and a warrior duel head-to-head?”

“Yes, it is. However, if the distance is close. Distance jobs will be too disadvantageous. Therefore, we will start from as far away as possible. Can you see the arena where you are standing?”

Following Deuce’s words, she took a closer look at the arena beneath her feet.

A huge circular arena. The length from end to end seemed longer than most school playgrounds.

“The arena you are standing in is among the arena of our Valhalla Academy, it is a small arena where counting from the bottom is quick.

Pajik-

[Spatial Perception] Felt that several people were angry at Deuce, who spoke provocatively.

If you made it to the top 30, you would have been praised as a genius since birth.

It can’t be helped that the provocation resistance is low.

“Is that so? Then it seems fair to a certain extent. Then the next question.”

The woman, who dismissed Deuce’s provocation as if it was nothing, continued to ask questions.

“They said they were dueling in the form of a tournament, but there are 30 people in total. Aside from the first duel, the second duel has a total of 15 people, so it doesn’t match. What should I do in this case?”

… Hmm. Regarding that, it was clearly written in the strategy book….

“Yes. That’s a good question. One of the humans who went up to the second round will advance to the third round for free.”

That’s right. This was the reason why the third test was the most restarted place in the tutorial.

With a user-created character, I didn’t encounter a character that I couldn’t beat at the beginning. To rise to the highest possible rank

Numerous users in the Valhalla community wrote in the guidebook that they were doing infinite trials here.

Woong-Woong-

People groan at the sound of going up by default.

Soon after, someone among them asked Deuce.

“How do you decide that?!”

“It’s a draw.”

“……Yeah?”

“It’s decided by luck.”

At Deuce’s words, a puzzled expression appeared on people’s faces.

Among them, I glanced at the status window.

Twinkle!

For some reason, the

Sense of gold that shines and asserts itself catches my eye.

…… Lucky for you.

Deuce laughed at the dumbfounded candidates.

“Don’t you know how important luck is in real combat? It’s a waste to call them kids like this. Let’s call them pathetic humans.”

Padudeuk-

The test takers are trying hard to suppress their anger. Someone was grinding their teeth to hold back their anger.

…… Also. Deuce that guy. [Provocation] Do you have a gift?

Are there any programs that must provoke people in every single word….

“Then, how do you decide who to fight against?”

“I’ll draw a number, and I’ll write a bracket with it.”

After saying that, something was ejected from Deuce’s body at high speed, and they lined up neatly in the air.

A total of 30 palm-sized cards are arranged in midair.

“These cards each have numbers from 1 to 30 written on them. The matchup schedule is set in such a way that the human who draws number 1 will duel with the human who draws number 2….The numbers you want are 1 and 2. Number 2, right? Of the two people who draw this number, the one who wins will go up to the next game bye.”

A third of the test takers focused on the card floating in the air.

However, there were some who didn’t care at all….

They were expressing their confidence that it didn’t matter who they stuck with.

You must be confident in your abilities.

Sleep-

At that time, the candidate, who was presumed to be in the magic department, exhaled mana as if to search for a card.

The magical power of the test taker who tries to cover the card while smirking.

Ting!

However, the magical power of Deuce that wrapped around the card instantly cut off the candidate’s magical power.

“Foot. That level of skill is unreasonable. Let’s choose calmly. Well, if you’re confident, I won’t say anything if you try again. Instead, my dark magic will breathe fire.”

At Deuce’s mocking words, the magician’s test taker becomes contemplative and reaps his magic.

With that student at the end, when the test takers are paying attention to each other and not stepping out.

Turb-Turb-

I calmly walked out of the crowd and approached the floating card.

‘Because I have , I am confident that I won’t get caught even if I search with magic…. There is paper with a mouth-watering aroma, but you don’t have to use magic. And….’

I naturally reached for the card.

Tak!

A hand that came out of nowhere struck my hand as I tried to draw a card, and snatched the card away.

And my hand bounced off of that hand.

I picked up the card right next to the card I was originally trying to draw.

“……”

Smile-

If you turn your gaze to the hand that snatched the card.

The red-haired man who staggered under Deuce’s magic stood there grinning.

“Hot! Seeing how he tried to draw a card without hesitation, it seems he has an ability related to searching. I’ll take this.”

Then the man turned the snatched card and looked at the front.

Looking at the front, the man’s face frowned, and then he looked at me and got angry.

“Ah!? What is this? It’s not number 1 and number 2! What happened to this, you bastard!”

“…I was just going to pick one first because no one came out…. Relevant abilities…. Fu, hehehe…”

Keuk kuk-

Pufu-

When I burst into laughter as if I couldn’t stand it, laughter broke out among the test takers.

“…Kuh!”

From noble mtl dot com

The face of the man who heard that sound burned red with anger and shame.

The man who had been grinding his teeth for a while. Soon, he glared at me with ferocious, violent eyes and spoke in a voice like a growl of a fighting dog.

“……You bastard. Be sure to come upstairs…!. I will strike and kill you…!”

After saying that, the man turned his back and walked away.

I was looking at the man’s back with a puzzled expression.

‘…… Anyone who sees it will know that I was wrong. Isn’t it the guy who stole the one I was going to pick up in the first place… ? … What. Actually, I already knew that he was aiming for the card I was trying to draw….’

I left behind the scene where the rest of the candidates drew their cards without hesitation.

I flipped the card I drew.

The number written there is….

‘Number 1’

If you win only one round, the next round is one of the numbers that goes up for free.

I pulled out the number I wanted.

From the time I walked towards the card without hesitation.

The red hair is aiming for the card I was trying to pick, and I was caught in the Golden Sense.

So I deliberately reached out for the card right next to the card that smelled like it, and that guy was caught there.

A smile naturally spread across my lips as I succeeded in drawing the card I wanted naturally and playing tricks on the one I didn’t like.

“Okay then. All of the test takers drew their cards.”

Looking around, I could see all the test takers looking at the cards they drew.

“Then, before starting the third test, please wear these.”

Took-

As if he ejected the card earlier, Deuce handed each candidate something.

It was a headband that radiated subtle magical power, similar to Son Goku’s long orphan in Journey to the West.

When I opened the observation eye and looked at it, high-level space magic and dark magic were applied.

“It is a magic device with a special magic that synchronizes the wearer’s information with the avatar located in the cloned space. To put it simply, it can be seen as taking out only your minds and fighting in another virtual space… It’s not bad to fight in real life, but it takes time. If you don’t, you can lose your life. This is how we fight.”

“Deuce. Then what happens if you die in there?”

“All the pain in the virtual space is the same as in real life. A safety device is included in the spell, so even if you die, you will only lose consciousness for about an hour or two. Well, if you do it wrong, it can be dangerous with a strong shock… Don’t worry. Masters of divine magic, the pride of our academy, have been waiting for you since a while ago… So, I hope you all will be safe and kill each other.”

”’Are you sure?!”’

As Deuce said that with a smirk, I could see several personnel shouting that inwardly with their complexions bluish.

… Rather, because of that reaction, Deuce seems to be more excited.

I thought so, and put on a headband.

Click-

A headband that adjusts to fit when worn on the head.

The dark magic engraved on my headband tried to link my mind to something.

Wheein!!! Wow…

To subdue the magic that tries to interfere with the mind and the mana that instinctively tries to crush it. Quietly accept the magic of the headband.

Now then.

I felt my mind elongate and connect to a certain space.

“Hmm. Looks like you’ve worn them all. Then, we’ll start the third test now.”

Within a moment, all test takers wear headbands, and Deuce says so.

After Deuce’s words ended, I felt my mind being sucked into something.

The view has changed.
