Grand Duke of the Heibern House

＜Chapter 94＞

2:40 in the morning.

Severon couldn’t sleep properly.

Severon, who had been tossing and turning, had no choice but to stand up and look around.

I knew it.

Daphne quietly blinking her eyes.

Lilia, who has already woke up and is immersed in images.

Even Shiron, who is reading a magic book under a magic lamp.

There could be many reasons for not being able to sleep, such as the hard cave floor, the cold air rising over the spread coat, and the damp smell.

Most of all, the reason why he couldn’t sleep was probably because Ruin declared his usual training.

If you didn’t know the reality of Airline Academy, you don’t know, but you’ve already seen it in front of the ventilation.

There was no way that common sense would work with the knight cadets of the renowned swordsmanship family and the rankers who were sponsored by the Hirencia family.

Beep-

The noise of the alarm magic Daphne had set up echoed through the cave for a long time.

Ruin slowly got up and looked around with his characteristic calm expression.

“Has everyone woke up already?”

Severon tried to say something, but kept his mouth shut.

Ruin and Louise were the only cadets who enjoyed a deep sleep.

“Are you really going to train like this?”

Shurie’s question.

Ruin yawned and asked back.

“Hmm… … You guys said you would participate in the Martial Arts Tournament. And as you know, you guys can’t even get past the early tournaments with your skills.”

“No, I’m not asking that now. I’ll try to solve it somehow once in a while. However, due to the nature of knight cadets who risk their lives for honor and face, it is clear that the dispute will never end… … .”

Lyria’s continued confrontation.

“Before the tournament, we will have a duel with all the rankers in the Knights Division.”

“The bigger problem is that the aftermath could affect us as well.”

Even Shiron, who was always confident, made such a weak voice.

It means that he also felt that life at the Airline Academy was not easy.

While arranging the cloak that Severon had spread out, he looked at Ruin.

“Let’s just register for the dormitory first and wait for the dean. Since you said you would be our group’s advisor, you must have some plans. As long as we said we would keep preparing for the martial arts competition, he would definitely help.”

Luin nodded.

“Then you guys stay in the dorms.”

Shiron, who was watching, had a blank expression.

It was because Louin’s strange tone was annoying.

“Do you think we’re like this because we’re just scared?”

“… … is not it?”

Shiron burst into anger.

“It’s not a problem that ends with us! It’s a problem that the Faculty of Knights and the entire Faculty of Magic could become involved in conflict because of your guest skills!”

Ruin, who finished organizing his luggage, summoned Hellagea and tucked his luggage in, staring at Shiron indifferently.

“Then is this the wrong thing to do, something that should never be done?”

“No Ruin—”

“So, you’re asking what I did wrong with my behavior running on the playground at dawn, Shiron.”

“… … .”

“You can’t change anything by sitting around talking like this. Conflict between the Faculty of Knights and the Faculty of Magic? How is that different from saying that you are afraid?”

Ruin, who got up before he knew it, glanced at the cadets with indifferent eyes.

“I just practice as always. Because that is the basis of my magic.”

At that moment, the cadets remembered what Ruin said in the last class.

– Confirmation that today’s me is stronger than yesterday’s me. Such confidence without doubt is my magic.

Shiron bit his teeth as if he was looking at Ruin, who had disappeared from sight before he knew it.

“Crazy man! what are you all doing Without packing up quickly!”

I was sure he was crazy, but I couldn’t help but be attracted to him even more.

＜Mmm… … what happened?＞

Louise woke up rubbing her eyes.

When she recalled the accomplishments she had made yesterday, all the cadets had eyes similar to Shiron’s.

“Run! What a mess! I run too!”

“song!”

“I can’t lose!”

The inside of the cave was hot with the heat of the cadets.

From nob le mt l. co m

For the 3rd rank knight cadet, Vercano, today was a day with special meaning.

It was the first day to go through the ceremony of ‘The Path of Bravery’, the first step towards becoming a regular knight.

The number of knight cadets who received a knighthood before graduation was at most about 20.

It was not during the senior year, but the fact that the first chance for the ceremony came to the third-rank cadet meant that the future of the regular knight was fixed.

If this ritual is carried out safely, his position in the group of ‘Bound by Blood’ will soar to the level of a ranker.

Beginner knights who have gone through the ceremony will always be given a second name.

That meant that I could finally get along with those high-nosed ‘Roaring Twilights’.

“hahahaha!”

hunger in the past.

Vercano was laughing, but tears could not help but flow.

Monstrous swordsmen from a famous swordsmanship family.

Genius cadets who developed crazy talents under the patronage of the Hirencia family early on.

It was today that I endured and endured again and again as if I was tenacious in the gap of such monsters.

So Vercano put on his cadet uniform like a knight’s uniform and headed for the training ground.

“Whoup!”

Take a deep breath.

The refreshing morning air fills every nook and cranny of the body.

An exceptionally fierce and sharp speculation today.

A stinging sensation, even a clear vision.

Even the condition was the best.

“Whoa… … .”

After taking a deep breath, he checked the motions he had repeated over and over again in his head last night.

The judges who supervise the ceremony of ‘The Sword of Valor’ are monsters who catch light breaths and fine movement imbalances like ghosts.

Today, he had to perform the most perfect movement in the world.

at that time.

– Heh heh heh heh!

-Huh! suck!

The cadets were running around the playground, breathing heavily.

I was startled and checked the time, but it was clearly 5:00 in the morning, the point at which the dawn had not yet gone.

“damn… … .”

The theme of today’s ceremony is Myeonggyeongsu (明鏡止水).

I had to express the unshakable mind of a martial artist in a static movement.

Of course, many uninvited guests will not be satisfied.

‘I’ll have to come back after breakfast.’

That’s how Vercano licked his lips and wanted to postpone the movement practice.

4th rank knight cadet Hancock.

He was glaring at the training ground with a gaze as if he were going to kill a person.

“Sir, senior?”

“Bercano?”

Vercano was able to remember that Hancock-senpai was on the list of participants for this defeat ceremony of valor.

“They are magic cadets.”

“yes… … ?”

Only then did Vercano look at the training ground while concentrating.

Their faint epaulettes, reflected in the faint magic lights.

There was no doubt that they were red epaulettes, magic cadets.

“under? Isn’t that ridiculous?”

“Don’t move recklessly. It is a ‘voice’ group.”

Vercano, who was striding toward the training ground, tilted his head.

“A voice?”

“… … okay.”

Vercano immediately distorted his face.

The cadets of the voice group were not ordinary magic cadets.

Most of them are descendants of high-ranking aristocratic families.

To them, the Royal Academy was just a social gathering place to expand their personal connections.

The so-called ‘talent hunters’ who will leave the academy anyway after recruiting enough talent.

It was clear that complicated and embarrassing things would happen if the offspring of such aristocrats were tampered with.

That’s why the knight cadets usually didn’t touch the magic cadets wearing the brooches of the voice group.

However, it was also the first time that such noble families used the training ground.

Even from this early morning.

“Do you want to quarrel?”

Occasionally, there were aristocrats from the voice group who went wild more than necessary.

Such children believe in the power of the family and start quarreling recklessly, and eventually, when they meet the patrons of the Hirencia family, they are beaten to death.

“no. That’s real training. It’s not a skill I’ve been running for a day or two. Especially the guy in the front.”

“hmm?”

Extremely constant breathing, known by regular breathing.

A posture that never breaks.

A body that looks pretty solid.

“uh?”

Above all, those eyes.

It was the kind of intimidation that only knights sensitive to momentum could feel.

“Did you see it now?”

“yes. You’re no ordinary guy.”

“okay. I’ve never seen anyone with eyes like that among my magic cadets. Those are more like knight’s eyes than wizard’s eyes.”

But then.

“what? What are you guys?”

A heavy-bodied knight cadet who arrived at the training ground wearing only one pair of pants.

“… … Olkan?”

Could his nickname, Highlander of Irons, fit better?

terrifying angle.

His whole body was square, as if he were wearing iron armor.

Looking at his trained body like a steel tower, Vercano trembled in fear while bowing deeply.

“Oh, senior Olkan!”

rattle.

A cadet sponsored by Hirenciaga, who shines 6th in the overall ranking of the Faculty of Engineering.

“Why are there so many guys I’ve never seen before in the morning? Did you guys come to train too?”

“Ah, today I have a ‘conscious’!”

“Consciousness? Ah, the card of bravery?”

“Yes, yes!”

food.

“You’ll have to snipe the tastes of those stupid old people. Movements are movements, but especially pay more attention to facial expressions.”

“I will keep that in mind!”

“But what are they?”

The Steel Highlander, Olkan, was pointing at the training ground with his chin.

“Ah, they look like magic cadets from the voice group!”

“what? voice?”

Olkan wrinkled his brow once, then smiled viciously at Hancock, a cadet in the 4th rank who was stiffening his expression.

“Is that why Hancock, such an asshole, is doing nothing but staring? Just because you’re afraid of repercussions from the aristocratic family?”

“Oh, Olkan!”

“You are the knight’s honor and pride, so don’t speak in front of me. I will kill you.”

Olkan looked at Vercano again.

“Hey, junior. Call all of those spellcasters right now.”

“yes? Oh, I see!”

“Wait a minute, no. Are those kids running right now? Still, my name is in training, so I can’t interfere.”

“then… … .”

“wait.”

As the red sun rose, the dawn twilight receded.

When the magic cadets’ training was over, several more knight cadets had already gathered.

“Senior Olkan!”

“Are you still here today?”

Olkan shouted at the junior knight cadets who were greeting them.

“Yes, you children! But with those skills, why are you always behind me? Reflect on yourself, children.”

“hehehe! yes sir! But what the hell are those spellcasters doing?”

“Oh, are those guys finished now?”

Kwakdeuk-

When Olkan twisted his thick neck, a sound similar to a roar came out.

A huge fuselage takes place.

His body exposed under the red sunlight feels like a superman.

“Hey, you bastards over there!”

There was a magic cadet looking at him from afar with indifferent eyes.

As if he didn’t like the look in his eyes, Olkan’s massive body shot out like a ray of light.

Quaang!

sunken ground.

The juniors, who watched with their mouths wide open, hurriedly followed him to the training ground.

“what? No knots? Are you guys unranked?”

Severon trembled as he looked at Olkan’s body, which was not even human.

“Ah, senior! We are rankless magic cadets… … This time, according to the consideration of the Head of Hedeian… … .”

“Noisy Severon.”

Orkhan tilted his head strangely and stared at Ruin who had cut off Severon’s words.

“Ah, it doesn’t matter. hey you there Didn’t you know that the training grounds couldn’t be used by spellcasters?”

“I didn’t know.”

aaa-

“Is the weak spell-wielding bastard getting more and more arrogant?”

Lilia looked at Ruin with a shocked look.

His reddened cheeks were swelling up.
