When the sunset was slowly setting.
The finals of the departmental competition have been postponed until tomorrow.
Currently, only the 3rd and 4th place match remained.
“Did everyone check it out?”
“huh.”
“Let’s fight a battle without regrets.”
“of course.”
Minjun checked the situation of the archery students.
Is the bow each person holding intact?
Is there enough room for arrows?
He checked them one by one.
“If the collar is this size, there will be no problem.”
There was no way he didn’t know that the Gunner Department didn’t even have the energy to engage in a mock battle.
Since it is a competition between departments that many people are watching.
The right thing to do was to do your best no matter what the opponent was.
Before Minjun starts the mock battle.
I looked at Kang Jun-pyo standing next to me.
“Let’s shoot without regrets.”
“I was going to do that.”
Let’s have a fistfight with him as a greeting,
Immediately the whistle sounded to signal the start of the 3rd and 4th place match.
Beep-
As soon as the whistle blows.
The archery students fired arrows all at once.
Shoot~ Shoot~
Definitely unlike the Gunner Department.
Maybe it’s because there’s less physical strain.
He had no hesitation in pulling the bowstring.
Gunner Department, which was going into the 3rd and 4th place match in an exhausted state, tried to resist somehow.
However, there was a big gap in physical strength to begin with.
The strong side they showed just before was nowhere to be seen in them.
“Oh, the zero point is not correct at all.”
“I’m going to turn away.”
“I’ll just end up dodging arrows like this.”
“Any way you look at this, it’s not enough.”
The archery department is very popular from the beginning.
Gunner Department did not even have time to counterattack.
Meanwhile, Minjun also thought it was time to pull the bowstring without hesitation.
Even the aim was perfect, with the magical power that had suddenly deepened.
Fussoon-
Gunner students who came into Minjun’s sight often became victims.
<All Gunner Department and Yoo In-ho temporary shields are exhausted!>
<All Gunner Department and Lee Kyung-hwa temporary shields are exhausted!>
The Gunner Department’s camp began to collapse in an instant.
Originally, it was shown to overpower and pressure the opponent with a fast attack speed.
Now I couldn’t find anything like that at all.
The Department of Archery had the upper hand from the beginning.
Near the end of the mock battle.
They kept the pace until the end.
<All Gunner Department temporary shields are exhausted!>
However, in just 20 minutes.
In the end, the archery students enjoyed joy as they destroyed all of the gunner students’ temporary shields.
“We are in third place!”
“Who knew it would turn out like this?!”
Clap- Clap-
Once the rankings for 3rd and 4th place were decided.
Applause continued from all over.
Even though we didn’t win the department competition.
No one expected that the re-established archery department would achieve third place in the department competition.
It was natural that the response was enthusiastic.
“Jjuni~ Congratulations!”
“Well done.”
“I thought it was nice today, huh?”
Including Kim Cheon-woo.
Minjun’s family came to see him and congratulate him.
“Tch, I’m only in third place.”
Lee Seo-ah also settled down in a corner.

I just didn’t say anything.
She also never thought that the archery department would come in third place.
In response, Minjun approached her and gave her a word of well-wishes.
“I’m looking forward to tomorrow. “I’m going to win anyway.”
“That’s natural.”
“As expected, it’s like Lee Seo.”

next day.
Early on, the swordsmanship department was located in the main playground of Xenics Academy.
And the Magic Department A trainees were facing each other.
The final matches between the two departments were frequent.
The nerve conduction was just as sharp.
Meanwhile, did everyone expect that a fierce mock battle between the two departments would unfold?
The field situation was no different from a wilderness.
A space without location restrictions.
It was an environment where students from both departments could freely demonstrate their skills.
Beep-
Finally, the final match of the departmental competition began.
The Department of Swordsmanship with Lee Seo-ah as its leader.
just as expected.
It was a powerful swordsmanship department from the beginning.
Chang- Chang-
They freely used fancy sword techniques and easily suppressed the magic circle of Department of Magic A.
Today more than yesterday.
Due to the nature of the swordsmanship department, tomorrow is stronger than today.
I felt like I was quite prepared for the match with the Department of Magic in just one day.
“Press a little harder!”
“I’ll probably set up the magic circle once more around this time. Everyone, get ready!”
“okay.”
As expected, it is true to name and reality.
This was a part that showed why the swordsmanship department was a special department at Xenix Academy.
Each trainee had well-organized movements and well-prepared countermeasures against the opponent.
What kind of attack pattern will the Department of Magic show next?
Conversely, what action should you take?
He also demonstrated his ability to anticipate and react accordingly.
Also, throughout the summer vacation.
Lee Seo-ah, who honed her skills, was also outstanding in her performance.
Unlike what he showed in the departmental competition yesterday.
Her appearance today was reminiscent of a ‘hawk’.
The person you designate will stick with you until the end.
Because of her personality, she wants to see the end.
In front of Lee Seo-ah’s sword skills, the magic students were unable to even resist.
“One strike!”
Her swordsmanship skills are clean and the tip of the sword is flawless.
He truly looked like a top student.
Chang- Chang-
Although the counterattack from the Department of Magic was quite strong.
There were limits.
In the case of a magic circle that requires a long and elaborate spell.
Since I haven’t mastered it yet, it seemed like it would take a lot of time.
It was visible that he was gathering all his magical power to show his strength.
Of course, there was no way the swordsmanship students could just sit still.
“Ugh!”
“I thought it was worth a try this year!”
“There is absolutely no situation for casting a spell.”
Department of Magic A is trying hard to somehow turn the situation around.
Maybe it’s because it’s the finals.
Magic Department A didn’t seem to want to give in easily either.
But the more it happens.
The swordsmanship department was persistent and solid.
Soon, the final match was finally decided.
<All Magic Department A temporary shields are exhausted!>
<Department competition finals, swordsmanship department wins!>
“As expected, the winner is the swordsmanship department.”
“Honestly, this final was pretty good compared to last year.”
“There was no surprise.”
The Department of Swordsmanship has won the department competition championship title for five consecutive years.
They enjoyed their victory.
Next, President Kim delivered a congratulatory message to the podium in the main stadium.
“I sincerely congratulate the swordsmanship department students. From last year to this year. We are increasing our status day by day by achieving a record of winning the departmental competition for five consecutive years. Everyone, please come up to the podium. and.”
President Kim continued speaking.
“Students from the Department of Magic and the Department of Archery, please also come up to the podium.”
The awards ceremony is scheduled to take place immediately.
Magic Department A and Archery Department trainees also went up to the stage.
“Cha Min-jun and the other 19 people in the archery department, please come forward.”
Medals were awarded, and Minjun, representing the Department of Archery, shook hands with President Kim.
“It shows surprising growth every time. This departmental competition was really impressive. Cha Min-jun, thank you for your hard work.”
“thank you.”
“I’m looking forward to this second semester as well.”
“Let’s try to live up to it.”
After a brief handshake.
Minjun returned to his original position.
The awarding of medals continued in that order: Magic Department A, followed by Swordsmanship Department.
As a representative of the Swordsmanship Department, Lee Seo-ah shook hands with President Kim.
Because she showed overwhelming performance in winning the swordsmanship department.
Lee Seo-ah looked more confident than ever.
Before long, the MVP of the departmental competition remained to be announced.
Selected through anonymous voting by nearly 50 Xenix faculty members.
Including Gunner Department, which ranked 4th.
Among trainees from a total of four departments.
Because only one person is selected.
It was a title that was naturally coveted among trainees.
The MVP selection announcement was made by the archery department advisor.
Professor Park took charge.
Accordingly, Minjun had some expectations.
It’s the same in [Dad’s Palace].
He also agreed that Lee Seo-ah was the star of this department competition, and it seemed like there would be no major surprises.
“Well, then I will announce the MVP of this departmental competition. “The total number of votes is 49, and the difference between the first and second place trainees’ votes is only one vote.”
Doo-doo- doo-doo-
A sound full of tension resonated everywhere.
“The MVP is Cha Min-jun from the Department of Archery, who received 19 votes! He was highly praised for his outstanding leadership, situational judgment, and outstanding archery skills throughout the departmental competition. In addition, there was a common opinion that highly evaluated the part that contributed most to leading the re-established archery department to third place. Cha Min-jun, please take a step forward.”
“!!”
Minjun also looked confused.
Of course, I thought Lee Seo-ah would receive it, but my expectations were wrong.
And the difference in votes with Lee Seo-ah is only 1 vote.
It was clear that most of the votes went to Min-jun and Lee Seo-ah.
Not many people expected Minjun to be selected as MVP.
“Wow, Cha Min-jun is the MVP?”
“Are you crazy?”
“Wow, you beat Seo-ah Lee!”
“Of course I thought it would be Lee Seo-ah.”
“Isn’t it a long time since an MVP was selected from a department other than the swordsmanship department?”
“Yes, I also heard from my seniors that the MVP every year comes from the swordsmanship department.”
“This competition is truly the best ever.”
“Besides, it’s only one vote. “It seems like there was a lot of competition among the professors.”
Minjun deserves the spotlight just for today.
He smiled brightly.
***
next day.
“Sal, please save me!”
“… “Regret for the rest of your life that you ever met me.”
“Aaaah-!”
Sigh-
A slum with few people.
Lee Ju-ha was committing innocent murder.
In order to pursue strength, anywhere where even the slightest resistance to magic can be felt.
Her sword energy would follow her.
“Tsk, this is not even close.”
Dark blood was dripping from the sword.
While her sole purpose is to collect anti-magic power.
I could secretly feel the air of a stranger.
“How long are you planning on hiding?”
Immediately in a defensive posture.
Lee Joo-ha hurriedly turned his back.
Then, a large amount of rain began to fly in front of me from all over the place.
