[ Episode 185. Complicated mind]
A young man with a stout body passed the front gate of the academy.
A plain-looking spear hung from his back.
“Whoa, whoa…”
The young man took a deep breath for a while and then looked around with sharp eyes.
Others gathered beside him one after another.
“How is it?”
When asked by a junior from Tarmil Academy who came with him, Roberto smiled.
“Good!”
The son of Dread Abercrombie, the 10th member of the Continent.
Roberto Abercrombie has arrived at Rodlen Academy.
They immediately entered the designated VIP building with the help of a guide.
“Today is only the preliminaries, so let’s start with the finals.”
“Shall we take a tour of the site?”
The invited students, selected from the Tarmil Academy, immediately unpacked and prepared to leave.
Then he asked Roberto, who was still rummaging through something on the other side.
“Seniors! Are you going out with me?”
“I’m going to the tournament.”
“Is this the preliminary round?”
“Isn’t there a candidate for the championship in the preliminaries? It’s okay, so let’s play. If anything happens, call me on the tablet.”
Soon after, Roberto, who was ready to go out with only his spear on his back, stood up, and the Tarmil Academy students followed after him after looking at each other.
“what? Weren’t you going to play?”
“Coming to think of it, I don’t think I came to Rodlen Academy just to play…”
“Yes. Well thought out.”
Roberto grinned and nodded.
After coming out, they immediately headed to the stadium where the tournament was held with the help of a guide.
“uh? There…”
“Hmm? Vulkan Academy.”
When we arrived at the stadium, there were already passengers.
One of the invited academies, Vulkan Academy.
That reputation followed right after Rodlen Academy, so all aspects were splendid.
“Sit next to me.”
“yes? Why?”
“why? You have nothing to be afraid of.”
Roberto confidently walked over and sat next to the students of Vulkan Academy.
The sudden appearance of the character naturally turned the attention of Vulkan Academy.
“Roberto.”
Someone with impressive bobbed hair, like pure white snow, cut off Roberto’s name and called him.
“hi? Thanks for noticing. I’m sorry, but what’s your name?”
“Chill.”
The eyes that were hidden by the hair were revealed for a moment when he raised his head.
The man with the strangely shaped eyes spoke his name again clearly.
“One hundred flags.”
“ah! It must have been the white cold called the ghost of Vulcan. Nice to meet you. As you already know, I am Roberto Abercrombie.”
“Do you want to fight?”
Roberto was at a loss for words at the contextless Baekhangi suggestion.
And asked again.
“Are you fighting?”
“I want to fight you, Roberto Abercrombie.”
“I’m sorry, but I didn’t come here to fight. If you get a chance later, how about sparring?”
“……It’s boring.”
The white cold blew cold air through his body and turned his head away.
A person from Vulcan Academy, who was watching the situation, lowered his head to Roberto and said.
“I’m sorry, I apologize instead. I’m not used to dealing with this guy.”
“no. Honestly, I was curious too, but I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you to fight. What’s that name?”
“Gullard Hitchel. Nice to meet you.”
“Oh oh? Snowflake Wizard? Now that I see it, only prominent figures have come. Let’s get along.”
As Roberto began to speak, the students from Tarmil Academy, who had been on guard, slowly approached and began to take their seats.
Around the time everyone was measuring their combat power, looking at each other as if they were trying to keep each other in check, Gullard spoke again.
“I haven’t seen any other academies yet. Have you ever seen one?”
“no. We also just arrived and met Vulkan Academy for the first time. How many other places did the rest come from?”
“Vulcan Tarmil Air Course Millennium Six Routes. As far as I know, these are five places.”
“There are still three places left.”
Is everyone late?
I stopped thinking for a while before the preliminaries that started soon after thinking about other academies.
As expected, the preliminaries were of a low standard.
‘If you look at the average skill, it’s definitely higher than our academy, but…’
Still, thinking that it’s too early to be disappointed, I kept watching and Gullard, who was next to me, pointed to one place.
“The cold guy is the guy you talked about yesterday.”
“who?”
“Louis Atman, who became a sophomore this year. He’s nicknamed Divinity.”
“iced coffee. him?”
He said it in a voice that was not very interested, but he couldn’t hide the excitement hidden in it.
And Lewis’ match, which began immediately, was over in an instant.
“Oh oh?”
“Look over there. Is he doing something?”
The students in the audience erupted in admiration.
The time of the match was short, but the level of the students gathered here was high, so it was possible to roughly grasp their skills.
Jump!
“Chill?”
“I’m going to stick with that guy.”
“The White Cold. I thought you promised not to get into trouble and came on the tour?”
“promise? I don’t know anything like that.”
Baek Han-ki, who was about to jump out of the stands and into the arena, and the Vulcan Academy students desperately trying to stop him seemed like a comedy on the other hand.
“There’s a crazy kid over there, too.”
“What do you mean now? Are you saying it’s on our side too?”
“yes? Ahaha…….”
“What is that smile? I’m not like that!”
Even in the atmosphere that gradually loosened up, the tournament continued.
There were a lot of students participating, so the process went on without a break. After seeing the students who appeared next, Goulard raised his glasses and said,
“This time Serena Estial and Lucia Everlast.”
“Are you famous?”
“so so. At least, it seems that all students at Rodlen Academy know it.”
The match soon confirmed was subtle.
The thoughts that passed through the minds of the students watching were all the same.
“It’s strong, but nothing special.”
“Did you say Louis Atman? Compared to him, he’s too ordinary.”
When the students of other academies who spat out like that were looking at whether there were other people of interest.
“!!”
Roberto suddenly jumped out of his seat and turned around, and Baek Han-gi drew his sword and took a stance as if to swing it.
The students who couldn’t keep up with the sudden situation soon realized that the two were looking at the same place.
“who?”
“Since when?”
“Adrias Cromwell!”
Gollard exclaimed in surprise.
Even if he didn’t say anything, everyone who had already investigated Rodlen Academy prior to the field trip recognized him.
A man with black hair that was tied up in a ponytail, with sparse green light visible.
Even though he was wearing a magician’s robe, his slender but tightly trained muscles were clearly visible.
He was located right behind the other academy students, and he seemed comfortable as if he had been there from the beginning.
He was indifferent even when the students made a fuss and looked at him.
“Wait a minute.”
White Cold still drew his sword and called to Adrias.
As Adrias’ gaze slowly turned to him, Baek Han-gi smiled, widening his eyes that were hidden behind his hair.
“Come fight me.”
“Baekchigi!”
Gullard, who shouted the name of the White Cold in a voice that could not be more embarrassed than this, tried to stop it, but the White Cold was faster.
“Rodelene’s Monster! I’m a deafening chill! ghosts and monsters. Doesn’t it look good?”
“White Cold Flag.”
Adrias finally opened his mouth.
At the same time, a chilly air enveloped the surroundings.
“Serena Erestial, whom you just looked down on. You can’t even beat him.”
“……what?”
“If you want to fight me, prove your skills first.”
After that, Adrias immediately left the stands.
Nothing much happened, but after he disappeared, it became cluttered as if a storm had passed.
“So you’re saying that he’s the strongest in Rodlen Academy right now?”
“It looks ordinary, but the atmosphere is no joke.”
Goulard approached Baek Han-gi, who was standing there blankly.
He was still standing with his sword in his hand, muttering something.
“Proof…….”
“White cold flag. Are you okay?”
“Gullard. I want to fight that monster.”
“It didn’t feel like the opponent was avoiding it too much. Proving your skills probably means defeating other guys.”
“who?”
“Serena Estial. Seeing that Adrias Cromwell just brought up his name, wouldn’t that mean that you should beat him first?”
“Serena Erestial…….”
Gollard tried to stop her, facing the white cold flag that seemed to run away at any moment.
“For now, the first day is quiet. Serena Erestial has just finished a match and is not at full strength. If you beat an opponent like that, wouldn’t you be embarrassed too?”
“okay.”
Unexpectedly, Roberto came into the eyes of Baek Han-gi, who listened obediently.
“Roberto.”
“Why are you calling me so sparsely?”
“Let’s fight me.”
After meeting Adrias, Roberto was also itchy, so he finally nodded.
At this time, it was not in his temper to only watch other people’s matches.
“I guess I can finally check the level of Vulcan’s ghost.”
“good. The right opponent before facing the monster.”
The strange eyes sparkled and sparkled again.
Baek Han-gi said as if he had promised himself.
“I won’t lose.”
**
Baek Han-gi and Roberto Abercrombie.
They were next-generation talents who would have a reputation similar to that of Playable on the continent in the future.
Shall we say young monsters who will take the place of the future continent 10?
‘If it was a game, they would only be seen long after graduation.’
In particular, in the case of Baek Han-ki, I was particularly concerned because he was a neutral character who could be a villain or a helper depending on the route.
But now it’s time to put it off for a while because I had something to do right now.
“…….”
“Hmm hmm.”
Vivian, whom I hadn’t seen in a very long time, stared at my face from the side.
I didn’t expect her to come, but now that I think about it, I think it’s rather good, and I’m waiting for Serena and Luis, who will arrive soon.
‘Ah, did you say that one freshman is coming?’
Phione Ardi.
Originally, he was a person who was not accepted into Laudelen.
It seems that my actions had some influence on my admission, but I was a talented enough person to even occupy the freshman representative.
As far as I know, the Marquis of Ardi is a pro-emperor faction.
Other than that, I wasn’t interested in it because it was a family that didn’t have much importance in the game.
“Adrias.”
“Yes Vivian.”
“Why did you find Serena?”
After thinking about the answer to her question for a while, she spoke slowly.
“You know I’ve looked after the first graders since before, right?”
“huh.”
“I’ve seen it once, so I’m going to take responsibility until the end. I learned something pretty good this vacation, so I want to tell you a little bit.”
“What?”
“It is the swordsmanship. Serena is wandering because of me, so I’m trying to let you know that it’s okay. Of course, let Vivian know too.”
Vivian, who looked at me silently for a moment at my answer, spoke quietly.
“Why is Adrias being so nice to others?”
“Me?”
“Saving me, taking care of Lucia, and taking care of the children are things I don’t have to do. And teaching swordsmanship is not something that normal people would do.”
“It’s not like I’m being good to anyone.”
Vivian’s eyes widened at my answer, but she suddenly lowered her head in shame.
Just when she wanted to do that, she raised her head again and asked.
“If it’s not anyone…what is it?”
“Well, it’s difficult to express accurately. In the case of first graders, they are promising juniors you want to take care of, and Lucia is your close sister?”
“I am?”
“Vivian is…”
What should I answer?
To be honest, getting close to Vivian now was something I never imagined.
Are you a friend, if you ask me? However, it is true that we are closer to being friends.
‘A comrade?’
I wonder if this is the most appropriate word for now, but it seemed a little strange to say that I had a comrade-in-arms relationship with Vivian.
“A very close friend?”
“……joy.”
what.
What have I done wrong?
Seeing Vivian turn her head away as if suddenly pouting, I couldn’t help but feel restless.
Just when I was wondering why I was like this, the juniors I had been waiting for finally arrived.
“sorry. A little late.”
“sorry!”
I said okay and shook my hand.
And we looked at Pione, a new face.
Just then, she made eye contact with me, smiled brightly, and bowed her head to me.
“Senior Adrias! nice to see you. My name is Pione Ardi.”
“Yes, nice to meet you.”
“Senior Adrias.”
“hmm?”
“It’s a sudden statement as soon as I first saw it… I like it!”
It was really sudden.
However, as a senior, he understood that he respected him, so the moment he was about to nod,
he could see Louis and Serena’s contemplative faces on the other side.
Noticing that their eyes were on Vivian behind me, I was about to turn around, but Pione called again.
“Senior, are there any women you’re dating right now?”
“association?”
“If not, what about me?”
……what?
It seems that this is a strange child.
