Episode 664
“…Still, there are good things about Lee.”
When Lee Han was so depressed, Gainando noticed and opened his mouth.
‘Are there any good points?’
It seems that the only good thing about this situation is that Lee Han is being misunderstood as a White Tiger Tower student…
“What is it?”
“You didn’t find out that he was the principal’s pupil!”
“……”
The friends next to him were astonished at Gainando’s words.
“Are you crazy?”
“Are you out of your mind?”
“Lee Han. Gainan and the prince both said it with good intentions! You mustn’t kill me!”
Friends quickly pulled out Gainando before Lee Han killed the prince.
That’s a good thing!

Palga checked the condition of the sword stick.
This weapon, in the form of a sword when pulled out of a cane, was the preferred weapon of the White Tiger Tower students like Palga.
A weapon that can use both magic as a wizard and swordsmanship as a knight.
Of course, an ordinary sword stick could not act as a magic wand. In order to make this sword stick, Palga had to pour in all of the compensation he received from the dueling club and the compensation he received from the < Iaktus Soup Club >.
It was a painful expense indeed.
To the extent that I had to beg from my friends because there were no reagents for research.
But this sword stick was worth it. Palgar gazed at Lord Celese.
Palga’s opponent today was Lord Celese.
‘Let’s stay calm.’
Professor Palga Boladi also tried hard to forget that Professor Boladi had students.
I couldn’t win because I had a lot of distracting thoughts before the duel started.
‘…No, but how did you become a real disciple of Professor Voladi?’
But the wandering thoughts continued to creep up.
I’m really curious!
‘Let’s stay calm. Let’s stay calm. Sir Celese is a swordsman who uses quick swords. The moment the boot twists sideways, it digs in as if teleporting to the left. It’s a unique step, but you can stop it as long as you know. Block the left side and immediately cast < Iron Arm >. Then you don’t have to worry about defense…’
“Forward.”
An observer came out and called the two.
Then he briefly explained the dueling club rules.
They must never kill each other and the duel will end the moment someone gets hurt and with honor…
But neither of them listened to the witness’ explanation.
Before the duel begins, only the opponent is visible.
“start!”
The moment the handkerchief was thrown, a clash began.
Lord Celese unleashed a series of sharp and deadly swordsmanship, and counterattacked after blocking the arm with clenched teeth.
The battle lasted less than a minute, but the number of attacks on each other accumulated over dozens of times in an instant.
“Kuk!”
“!”
And luck was on Palga’s side.
Lord Celese had suffered a wound in his arm and withdrew.
‘I won!’
“The winner is the eighth family of the Ukim family!”
Palga clenched his fists involuntarily.
It was because Lord Celese was a formidable adversary.
The magician and alchemist from the waiting club immediately ran to check the condition of the two and treat their wounds.
“You’re amazing, senior!”
“I was amazed!”
Palga laughed at the voices of his juniors amid cheers from the crowd.
I was always happy to hear cheers after a victory, but today was even more special.
‘Right. Maybe it’s because of the cheers from the same Einrogard!’
“Thank you everyone. I didn’t know, but I’m pretty happy that my juniors are watching…”
“The reaction was delayed after the start.”
“……”
Professor Boladi said coldly to Palga as he walked towards the stands.
Lee Han wasn’t too surprised, but the other friends looked at the back of the professor’s head in amazement.
Does this person have no heart?!
“Sir Celese has two steps. I only figured out one of the two. If I had used a different step, I would have lost.”
“That… was it?”
Even in the midst of embarrassment, Palga was surprised.
I thought I was aware of Sir Celese’s movements, but in fact there was one more.
Certainly, even though Professor Baegrek was the mad bloodsucking monster of Einrogard, his dueling skills were genuine.
“You cast < Iron Arm >.”
“yes. To block the attack and find the first attack…”
“The casting was slow and the effect was weak.”
Professor Voladi pointed out the < Steel Arm > cast by Falga.
Because the cast was slow and the effect was weak, the impact of the opponent’s attack came inside, and his left arm was paralyzed because of it.
“That… it was.”
“If it had been penetrated, it would have been over.”
“you’re right.”
Palga readily admitted to the professor’s point. Even after that, Professor Boladi pointed out the small mistakes Palga had made.
All of them were valid and correct, so Palga was amazed again.
‘That’s amazing!’
I was always afraid, but when I talked in a space where I could escape because it was open on all sides and there were many people watching, Professor Boladi was not as scared as I thought.
On the contrary, he showed a keen eye as a skilled and outstanding duelist.
Palga reflected.
Could it be that Falgar and his dueling club friends were too afraid of Professor Boladi because he had been brutally attacked for three days in an enclosed space?
In fact, Professor Boladi might have been gregarious enough to take the first-year students out and buy them a meal.
“…thank you. professor.”
“It’s not over.”
“yes?”
“The < blink > cast at 18 seconds was a mistake.”
“…Uh, that’s why I was able to block the opponent’s attack.”
“The opponent induced an attack by pretending that his vision was dark. If I had passed, I would have been beaten.”
“And indeed.”
“And…”
Professor Voladi began pointing out Falga’s mistakes one by one from head to toe.
Palga, at first satisfied with the victory and appreciative of the point, blushed and then began to shed tears.
‘I’m trash! I was lucky enough to win!’
“Don’t you… don’t you need to dry it?”
“What if you dry it off and then attack us?”
“Lee Han Lee Han… Eh, where did Lee Han go?”
The friends who tried to call Lee Han realized that Lee Han had disappeared.
Surprisingly, Lee Han went to the witness and talked to him.
“yes. Let the next duel begin. thank you.”
It was much more comfortable to just start the next duel instead of stopping Professor Voladi.
* * *
As I drank the hot tea brought to me by eight of my juniors, my heart sank a little.
“…thanks everyone. You showed ugliness.”
“Oh no. Seniors. Everyone would have cried.”
‘Except Lee Han…’
The friends thought to themselves at the same time, but didn’t say it for Palga.
Fortunately, Professor Voladi had gone down to the arena to prepare for the duel.
Palga chuckled, feeling relieved at the fact.
“…did I look so clumsy?”
“no!”
“It was great!”
“I thought the White Tiger Tower students were weak because they were beaten all the time, but in fact… yup.”
“after. yes. In fact, in the eyes of Professor Bagreck, everyone will be dissatisfied.”
‘Except Lee Han…’
The friends thought to themselves once again at the same time.
Palga, who had regained her consciousness somewhat, asked a question to answer the question she had heard earlier.
“for a moment. But why is Professor Bagreck participating in the duel? Are you trying to practice here?”
“Uh… so…”
“Professor has a hobby of going around dueling clubs.”
Yoner, on behalf of his friends, was most appropriately purged.
It was a bit of a strange hobby when you think about it, but Palga agreed.
Judging from Professor Voladi’s skills, it wasn’t strange that he had a hobby like that.
“but. Maybe you are so strong because you have such a hobby.”
‘I’m in the city for money…’
“Wait. Then, could it be that the new monstrous member yesterday was also a professor?!”
“Maybe?”
“Why do you fight so much?”
I didn’t understand the palga.
The reason for the duel was a pure fight with an opponent of equal skill.
However, judging from Professor Boladi’s skill, it seems difficult to have a pure fight with an equal opponent, and even more so, there seems to be no reason to fight so much… The
juniors all shut up.
“The winner is the ballady of the Baegrek family!”
Unsurprisingly, Professor Voladi finished it in an instant. The palga became even more puzzling.
why?
“omg!”
“Why are you doing that, senior?”
Durgyu was amazed when Palga was surprised.
Professor Voladi is already there, how could this senior be more surprised?
“It’s Count Semten!”
“Who is Count Semten? I’m not from around here…”
“In the dueling club here, family or territory is not important. Junior! Skills don’t matter. And Count Shemten is the club’s best I know. You don’t even show your face!”
Palga said in a hot voice.
In fact, the final target of Palga was Count Shemten.
This vacation, even if it was impossible, he wanted to hone his skills and strategies before graduating and defeat Count Shemten.
Count Shemten strode across the dueling club with graceful gestures and addressed the observer.
Then he pointed at Professor Voladi and muttered something. However, the witness refused as if it was difficult.
-Why!?
-Today, His Excellency’s opponent has been decided to be that boy. No matter how noble you are, you cannot change the schedule that has already been set.
– What nonsense! I want to compete with the strong Do you think that boy is a suitable match for me?
– Your Excellency Count! It’s because His Excellency came late. Don’t force yourself!
– Of course I knew I would deal with it. Why should I confront that boy? I bet that boy didn’t apply.
-That boy applied. Now go back to your seat!
“…Uh…”
Palga felt strange.
The opponent of Count Semten was like Lee Han, a junior in the White Tiger Tower.
what…?
‘It must be an illusion?’
It was said that Professor Voladi decided it himself, but unless the professor was a madman, he wouldn’t have caught him against Count Shemten.
“Seniors. How do you fight a duel Count Shemten?”
“Earl Semten has a mana absorbing cutlass, a ring, and a cape. They say it’s a family treasure.”
Palga explained the count’s fighting method.
The count was a person who actively used the family treasure to fight.
When you start, quickly and lightly circle around the opponent.
This was to absorb the magic of space. In the case of wizards, this blocked magic.
If he jumps out, block the attack with a cutlass.
This directly absorbed the opponent’s magic power. One of the defensive swordsmanship was excellent, so if he couldn’t break through right away, the opponent would wither away.
“That’s why the Count’s nickname is Vampire… Wait!!! Why is that guy down!?”
When Lee Han went down and stood in front of Count Shemten, Palga was shocked.
I wondered, but was that junior really the count’s opponent?
“uh. I see.”
“I guess Lee Han’s partner was the Count.”
“Can I get you another sandwich?”
“Eat little. Guinan Island. Don’t go back and say you won’t eat dinner.”
“Oh no. I can digest it.”
“……”
I was speechless at the appearance of my juniors talking calmly, even though I don’t know how hurt my best friend might be when he meets a strong enemy.
These…
you scumbags!
‘These first year students are all evil and despicable guys…!’
“Choi! As a fellow White Tiger Tower student…”
“It’s okay. Senior, haha.”
“……”
‘Even the White Tiger Tower!’
Falga closed her eyes tightly.
How did the white tiger tower look like this!
