[246] 6. Magic Clash (6)
Dante was confused. I didn’t expect a particularly favorable attitude, but at least I expected a special reaction to come out, whether I want to be greeted as the number one in the country. However, Amy only gave me ordinary thanks, just like she did when dealing with other juniors.
“Is that all? To be honest, I would like to hear a compliment. The result is that I will win anyway.”
Seriel, enraged by those words, grabbed Amy and Sirone’s wrists and forced them to hold hands.
“You sound funny! I wish I had done that to the person I was fighting with my boyfriend, what more do you want? Amy is always on Shirone’s side, so wake up!”
It was the first time Dante had heard of it. Come to think of it, I never asked who Sirone’s girlfriend was. Just looking at it, I didn’t have the personality to hang out with a woman.
“Really, senior Amy?”
“huh. Really.”
Amy’s confirmed kill made Dante a poop-chewed face.
“Sirone students! Dante student! Come this way! I have to get an interview, so come quickly!”
A teacher association official called the two. It was scheduled for an interview before the showdown.
Sirone said while following the person in charge.
“Then I will come. see you when it’s over Don’t go first, wait.”
Dante quietly walked behind Sirone. To be honest, I didn’t even feel like provoking because I felt like I had a shot. How could Amy date a country boy like Sirone?
‘Hmm, no matter what, you’ll eventually become my woman. I’ll give you a muk bowl in this confrontation.’
He’s not the kind of person who lights up a woman like Closer, but having a beautiful and intelligent woman around makes a man stand out.
In that sense, Amy was a woman who would fit right next to her. It’s not the class to hang out with a country boy.
Dante could not hide his curiosity and looked at Sirone.
In the meantime, I went around collecting various information, but everyone I asked said that Sirone was the best.
Most of all, what left an impression on me was that he did not hurt his pride or get offended when he said such things.
‘Why is this kind of meek guy the best? Are you still hiding something?’
Canis said that there was nothing good about touching Sirone. Iruki said that only Sirone could control him.
Amy, the best student in school, was Sirone’s girlfriend.
Mark and Maria did not withdraw their eyes of respect for Sirone even in front of the name Dante.
At that moment… my heart started beating. It was the kind of tension I had never experienced before.
I don’t know anything. The more information he got, the more the person named Sirone became blurry.
Who the hell is Sirone?
Dante arrived at the back of the practice field with a distraught heart. As if the teachers’ interview hadn’t ended, Killline was beside Saad asking questions and the video recorder was recording it.
Whenever a question came in, Sade’s face became more like a blank sheet of paper. Then it occurred to me that my skin might become transparent and I might be able to see my bones.
“I think the odds between Dante and Sirone are 5-5. However, if there is a variable, I think it is about 6 to 4.”
“okay. thank you.”
Killline turned away as if there was nothing more to see. Not only did the contents lose their nutritive value, but it was useless to include a nervous person’s face.
Besides, it’s 5-5. In her opinion, Dante was 10 and Sirone was 0. Of course, as an article, it would be about 9 to 1.
Killline approached Ethella, who was waiting for her next turn. She also showed her clumsiness, perhaps for the first time in a situation like this.
“Ahaha! Yes. Sirone is such a good kid. Oh, Dante is a great student too. I hope everyone can become one and get along well ahahaha!”
“…yes. All right. I heard good things.”
When Killline ended the interview with a single stroke, Ethella let out a sigh of relief. Realizing that it was ruined, Sade approached Etella and pretended to cry.
Their articles will never be published.
Killline was getting annoyed. It was said that it was one of the top 5 prestigious schools, so I prepared everything, but every teacher I met had no sense.
I hoped for Shiina, who was the last one, and thought that if that didn’t work, I’d have to go through the teacher interview.
“Hello, Miss Shiina. It is the kill line of the Teachers Association.”
“Yes, this is Olifer Shiina.”
Shiina nodded toward the video recorder with a cold expression on her face.
Killline’s eyes shone as if he finally got it right.
‘Oh, he has a good figure and a good expression. I can get this.’
Shiina answered incoming questions without hesitation. There was no reason to be nervous because he conveyed his thoughts as they are.
“okay. Thank you for those kind words. So let me ask you one last question. You are the referee today. Dante and Sirone Who do you think will win?”
It’s cruel to ask a teacher how his student won or lost, but it was Killline’s job to think about these questions.
The crueler it is, the funnier it is for the viewer. To read articles like this, students across the country buy academic journals.
Shiina thought for a moment before answering leisurely.
“Personally, I think Dante has an advantage. About 7 to 3? But no matter who wins, it doesn’t determine the wizard’s level. It would be anachronistic and barbaric to limit magic to combat.”
“Oh, I see. Thank you for the interview today.”
Shiina bowed lightly and disappeared from the focus of the video recorder. Sade wanted to cry all the more when he saw that even the departure was sophisticated. On the other hand, Ethella burst out with exclamations.
“Wow, that’s great. I was so nervous I couldn’t say anything.”
“You’re from the Chet Oleifer School. How could you know the earnestness of a nameless teacher like me?”
“Huh no. Sade teacher did a good job too.”
Ethella patted him on the back. However, Saad, who watched her interview, was not comforted in the slightest.
The kill line has finally walked to the stars of the day.
Priority was given to Dante first and Sirone second.
Considering the time left until the confrontation, the person who finished the interview first can buy some time to recover.
“Dante, can you do well today? I’ll write a cool article, so please be fancy.”
“haha! Do not worry. When was it not flashy?”
“How can you speak so beautifully? Then the interview begins.”
Killline’s laughter faded, followed by serious questions. Dante also skillfully answered with his unique wit. He seemed to know even the angle of his face.
“Yes, according to Master Olivia’s will. I think spreading the advanced magic of the capital to the community is a good way to narrow the skill gap between magic schools.”
“Oh, but isn’t it a loss for Dante-kun?”
“haha! Not so. The higher the overall level, the more I boil. And at the end of this semester, I will be entering my graduating class. I have to become a pro now.”
“As expected, this is a bold statement befitting the kingdom’s best prospect. Then, finally, you have defeated numerous opponents with an overwhelming gap. How about today’s confrontation? Can I look forward to it?”
“First of all, Sirone is an unlocker. And he’s also very talented. Maybe it will be a good fight. But as always, the winner is me. Today I will show you the essence of information magic.”
“Thank you for the interview. I look forward to good results. Now then, let’s interview Sirone-kun. Sirone-kun, would you please come this way?”
“Ah yes!”
Sirone, who thought there would be time to prepare when Dante was over, was caught off guard and suddenly came to his senses. Standing in front of the video recorder, I could feel the feelings of the teachers.
In particular, Dante’s interview was pretentious enough to praise the opponent. I couldn’t figure out whether I should say what the kill line wanted to hear or tell my true feelings.
“Uh… so. yes. I entered magic school this year.”
“The rumors are true! There was a reason why Dante-kun acknowledged it as a confrontational opponent. Then, from Sirone’s point of view, how is Dante-kun? Do you feel lucky to have a chance to play against the best student in the kingdom?”
Most of the words that came out of Killline’s mouth were questions related to Dante. However, Sirone had no time to feel dissatisfied. It was overwhelming just to think of the words in the eyes that urged the answer.
“Ah yes. I don’t like fighting, but it’s nice to have this opportunity.”
Killline sighed inwardly.
‘What if I use the expression ‘good’ twice? You look clumsy It’s too late for this child to become a star.’
No one beat Dante, but there were quite a few students who made their names known by sticking to their star surname.
However, Sirone was a country boy without fail. Her appearance was fine, so if she decorated it, it would work, but with such a clumsy attitude, she couldn’t appeal to Basuka’s girls.
Dante, who had been listening to Sirone’s interview, turned away as if he had nothing more to look at.
In the meantime, Killline asked one last question.
“I can’t help but ask Sirone-kun’s thoughts. Many experts are predicting Sirone-kun’s defeat. What do you think about that?”
“Uh… I can’t approve of Dante.”
Killine’s smiling face was devoid of emotion, leaving only form. Dante also stopped and looked back.
“Dante doesn’t seem to know what is really important. It doesn’t matter how famous he is in the capital city or who he beats to get to this point. A sorcerer is not simply a magician who can light fire and freeze water. The spirit of pursuit of intellect, that is magic. I don’t think I can get tired of a wizard who is out of his mind no matter how great he casts magic. No, I will never lose to a wizard like that.”
Even Killline, who had gone through all the pre-natal battles, missed the timing by about 0.5 seconds at Sirone’s bomb declaration.
After a while, her words continued.
“Wow wow! The challenger’s spirit is amazing! I wish good results to Sirone-kun. It was the kill line for the Correspondent of the Teachers’ Association.”
Dante fixed his gaze on Sirone, who was moving away. A steely spirit hidden behind the clumsiness. Flexibility that seems to sway here and there, but does not change as much as its shape.
‘Right. Was it you?’
Dante’s eyes began to see Sirone for the first time.
The audience seats were full.
The front row was occupied by teachers, only the two middle seats were empty. You could tell who was going to sit without looking.
“Heh heh, as expected, Principal Olivia is very resourceful.”
The teachers stood up when Alpheas and Olivia appeared.
The students behind them also stood up without knowing why, and the skyline of the crowd rolled over like a wave.
Alpheas, sitting in the reserved seat, looked left and right, then as if he had a good idea, he grabbed the handle of the chair and pulled it forward.
“This is blinding. I’d like to see it up close.”
Olivia approached with a reddened face at the absurd act of turning all the people in the first row into the second row.
“What is this? Embarrass yourself in front of everyone.”
“Don’t be like that, come forward. You look good.”
“I’m crazy? To act the same as a person like you?”
“Then don’t mind me and go away.”
As Alpheas acted like a savage, Olivia snorted. Then he coldly turned around and pulled a chair and sat next to Alpheas.
If left alone, there might be an article saying that Mirhi Alfeas has gone senile.
Alpheas lifted his leg and placed it on the opposite knee, waiting for the confrontation with a crooked posture. Olivia frowned at the appearance she didn’t like from one to ten.
“Sit up straight. Become the principal. Do you know what kind of underground fighting arena this is?”
“It’s because the blood boils after a long time.”
“What if I get old and my blood boils? So, what are men? Our photos will be published in academic journals. wake up soon Have a nice seat.”
Then, Alpheas laid his upper body down, put his arms on the handle and rested his chin on it. Anyway, Olivia glared at her coldly, thinking that she wouldn’t listen to her even if she died since she was a disciple. On the other hand, Alpheas’ eyes seemed to be burning. At that appearance, lost in thoughts of the past for a moment, she pouted her lips.
“You’re not expecting that, are you? It’s a battle that Dante has no choice but to win.”
“Don’t you know that? And I’m not sitting here to cheer for anyone. If Sirone loses, I think it’s a good result.”
“What kind of senile noise is that again?”
