[Chapter 161]

[Those who oppose Noh Eun-ha]

The Academy Cultural Festival opened.

As Noh Eun-ha made her name known in the industry, the number of visitors increased every year, and this year the number also increased compared to previous years.

Among them, the program that showed the largest increase was the comprehensive competition.

“It wasn’t to this extent last year, so why is this happening?”

“What kind of finals day is it that all the seats are sold out from the first day and an additional broadcast room is being built?”

In general, the popularity of the general category competition was not that high on the first day.

As a result, even though the seats were full, it was possible to get tickets even right before the competition was held.

However, this year, not only did advance reservations flood in even before the start of the competition, but people who visited the Academy immediately bought tickets for on-site sales just in time for the opening of the cultural festival.

There were still three hours left before the first round of the finals began, but it soon ran out.

“Last year, it was less… but this year is really no joke. I barely got a ticket.” “Only scouts are dying. Those who couldn’t make reservations in advance are probably dying trying to buy tickets on the spot.”

“It seems like Noh Eun-ha’s division’s popularity is no joke. Considering that even the general public is aware of it.” “The general public doesn’t know much about Noh Eun-ha’s division. Since <Kwaedonamma> is graduating next year, I came here to see the inaction she displayed as a student for the last time. As well as doing this, Noh Eun-ha’s classmates are in the spotlight.”

“He hasn’t even debuted as a player, but he’s already this popular, and he’s a real nerd.”

Eunha Noh and Eunha Noh Division.

This was the reason why people, including the general public and industry officials, came to watch the first day of the finals, which was essentially a preliminary round.

Scouters from each clan were left speechless when they saw the bleachers filled to capacity.

“Let’s see, then, let’s see how far the friends of <Kwaedonanma>, whom there were so many rumors about, can do. Hey, which of today’s sparring should we pay attention to?”

“This is a sparring between Team 031 Bae Soo-bin and Hoshimiya Kaede. One of them will probably face Noh Eun-ha in the last sparring today.”

“It would be worth seeing.”

30 minutes before the start of the overall competition.

The scouts sitting in their seats looked at today’s matchup and smiled.

Bae Su-bin and Hoshimiya Kaede.

A sparring match between Caster and Ranger.

Anyone in the know remembered that Bae Soo-bin won the competition the year before last.

That’s why─.

“—Let’s see how much both of them have grown? Will Caster break our expectations and win like the year before last, or…?”

Will the Rangers win?

The high-ranking clan scouts who came to watch the competition from the first day to check out Noh Eun-ha’s division had the same thoughts.

So, in people’s expectations─.

[─From now on, we will begin the general competition finals.]

The comprehensive competition opened.

☆

The year before last, he lost to Bae Soo-bin.

That’s why we couldn’t lose this time either.

“—I just admit defeat. Nothing will change if we fight here any longer.”

“Hoshimiya Kaede….”

At first, Bae Soo-bin had the upper hand.

She used the eyes of the mountain spirit to push Kaede Hoshimiya into a corner.

But it was also Hoshimiya Kaede’s plan.

She pretended to be attacked by Bae Soo-bin and set up traps everywhere without her knowledge.

“Hmph, I guess you’ve done some research on me? I can’t believe you’re trying to avoid my eyes by using a spell under the ground….”

“Even if you lose once, you can’t lose twice.”

Of course, Subin’s mountain spirit eyes would have been able to read the trap technique that she had secretly set up.

That’s why she was caught off guard and set up a trap in the ground where no one would look.

So when the traps she set up formed a net that encompassed the entire stadium.

She activated the trap and turned the tide of the war.

“Yes, I will admit this. It was a mistake on my part to not consider the details of the paper.”

“If you’re going to admit defeat, hurry….”

Soobin was caught in a trap.

As soon as she activated the magic, the area where the trap was installed exploded.

It was a very fatal trap for her as a caster.

Nevertheless, Bae Soo-bin snorted.

“But it’s not over until I tell you I lost, right? Can you stop talking like I’m the winner already?”

“What are we going to do now…!” “If I don’t win, then you can’t win either. I die, and you die too.”

“You can’t believe it… you crazy bitch!”

“Yeah, I’m a crazy bitch. You’re crazy enough to win. So why are you trying to beat me?”

Just do it.

Bae Soo-bin snapped his fingers.

In an instant, the magic that did not cause any damage ignited the trap.

Kaede Hoshimiya was the flagship.

Bae Soo-bin giggled.

─Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!!

The traps laid in the ground exploded all at once.

Kaede, who was with Subin and urged him to lose, was also unable to escape the explosion.

Nevertheless, Kaede used her wits and tried to minimize the damage as much as possible.

She pulled the bowstring.

─Picking stars

It was a race against time.

Get eaten by an explosion.

Or will the trajectory soaring into the sky eventually escape the explosion?

“…Tsk…!”

Kaede gave herself over to a method that was like gambling.

Fortunately, the gamble paid off.

She escaped the explosion without her uniform being scorched by the fire.

On the other hand, Bae Soo-bin’s gamble is─.

“─Damn….”

If a person succeeds in gambling.

She lost her gamble.

As soon as Kaede ran away, Bae Soo-bin quickly tried to use magic to stop the explosion.

But her gamble failed and she fell to the floor.

[─Winner, Kaede Hoshimiya.]

Soon, the sound of the speaker was heard.

Kaede Hoshimiya turned her back on Bae Soo-bin, who was being carried away by supporters, and headed toward the entrance to the waiting room.

There was one person.

“”… … .””

Noh Eunha.

He was looking at her as he waited for his next turn.

She didn’t avoid his eyes.

No, I approached him.

I wanted to hang out with you once.

In her first year, she also trained with On Taeyang.

He was trying to find a way to confront Noh Eun-ha against dealer On Tae-yang.

To her, Noh Eun-ha was someone she wanted to fight with at least once.

No, he was someone who wanted to prove something.

“Where—” “huh?”

“—Prove that you can have me.”

“what?”

The other day, she promised Eunha that she would join the party he was organizing.

But aside from the promise, she wanted to check Eunha’s skills for herself.

He never wanted to fall under someone weaker than him.

That’s why she spit it out as she passed by Eunha.

“—See you later.”

“okay.”

Noh Eun-ha responded.

☆

Perhaps because it was the finals, unlike the preliminaries, the sparring opponent did not withdraw.

So, for the sake of Eunha’s sparring opponent, the opponent provided the scouts with an opportunity to demonstrate their skills.

[─Winner, Noh Eun-ha.]

Nevertheless, Eunha won.

After shaking hands with her sparring partner, Eunha checked the status of her other friends.

Everyone won except Soobin. Subin was a bad partner, but… .

Except for Bae Soo-bin, the friends would also participate in the competition on the second day.

No, one person will not be able to compete.

Kaede Hoshimiya.

She was Eunha’s opponent for the remainder of today’s sparring.

“—Did you ask me to prove that you can have me?”

“Papa?”

“Earlier, you looked like you were going to take me down… I’m looking forward to seeing how strong you’ve become.”

Eunha couldn’t wait to spar with her.

A promising player you want to recruit to your party.

I was very curious about what kind of growth she had achieved.

So it felt like time was passing slowly.

“—Are you okay? I looked at you earlier and you looked pretty injured.”

“This is nothing. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Time passed quickly.

Eunha came out to the stadium and stood facing Kaede.

“Then that’s a good thing. It’s not okay to get injured and not be able to fight properly. You have to show everything you have to show.”

“I plan to show you everything, so just watch closely with your eyes.”

Receiving the audience’s attention.

The two men had a conversation.

“I’ll only deal with this sword. Is that okay?”

“…Okay, okay. Even though I feel bad, I have to admit the difference in skill between you and me. But then, don’t make excuses later when you lose.”

“That won’t happen, so don’t worry.”

The galaxy soon pointed to the cold blooming winter.

It was a handicap of its own.

I had no intention of using any other devices or artifacts in this sparring.

It was the same with Buldak.

Because this isn’t sparring.

This is a place to see how much they have grown.

Just as students use general competitions as an opportunity to appeal their skills to industry officials.

Kaede and other Eunha’s friends could say that it was a place where they could appeal to Eunha about their skills.

Their goal was to show him that his growth was even slightly unexpected.

It’s not about getting attention from industry insiders.

Therefore, Eunha also wanted to create a handicap so that her friends could demonstrate their skills to their heart’s content.

[─Game, start.]

And so the signal signaling the start of the game rings.

A sparring was held to evaluate each other.

☆

The stage is downtown.

The buildings created by the instructors’ magic filled the stadium.

Cheonbo

It was terrain that was easy to take cover.

However, the ease of taking cover did not only apply to the galaxy.

Comet

This story also applies to Kaede.

It was even a very good environment for her as a ranger.

Of course, you can climb up buildings and attack the galaxy from afar.

Usually, once you are on top, you can stay on top.

There’s really nothing to look at… !

Eunha was a dealer.

She was a ranger.

Eunha was unable to respond in any way to the attack falling from the top of the building.

However, if he tried to climb up the building to avoid the attack, Kaede would never allow him to do so.

weasel nails

Moreover, Kaede had captured Eunha and was persistently pursuing him.

As a result, he had no choice but to keep giving his back to her.

I had no choice but to focus on fending off the falling arrows.

Gwangmu

As an ally, there was no ranger who was this helpful.

It was really annoying to be an enemy.

Eunha clicked her tongue when she saw that among the arrows she fired, the arrows occasionally bent in violation of the laws of physics.

The arrow that I thought was falling from overhead ended up flying around the building.

Cheonbo

They say the galaxy is adding or subtracting its power.

Kaede Hoshimiya’s strategy was quite admirable.

I mean, it’s easy.

Is it easy to keep giving up the upper hand?

She fired arrows non-stop and gave Eunha no time to relax.

As soon as he found a gap, he stepped on the outer wall of the building, jumped up, and immediately activated the trap.

It was then that Eunha realized.

By pretending to give Kaede an opening, he cleverly lured them into a trap.

“So you can pressure me even if you go inside the building?”

I have seen enough of Kaede Hoshimiya’s strategies and skills.

Eunha deflected all the arrows that followed her into the alley.

He then took refuge in a nearby building.

As soon as she disappeared from sight, there was no more arrows.

I thought so…

─Time of the Storm

Even that was within her reach.

Eunha was shocked by the arrow flying through the window.

When did they create magic like that!?

What Eunha saw was that Kaede was protesting in the building across from her.

Then, the arrows that left the demonstration flew in as if they were destroying the building, creating a strong storm.

Kukukuk!

The durability of the buildings the instructors created with magic was naturally low.

The exterior wall of the building shook greatly.

The window was broken.

The arrow that flew into the building broke up the storm.

revenant

A storm raged in the room.

Kaede Hoshimiya must have created magic to prepare for situations like this.

Eunha inwardly clicked her tongue and tried to control the storm at her own initiative.

However, the storm caused by the poem was nothing more than a by-product of magic.

Advanced control technology did not have that great of an effect.

In the end, Eunha had to escape from a storm that might never end.

And as if aiming for that moment─.

─Comet

Arrows rained down from the sky.

Blue mana pierces the ground.

Eunha was momentarily unable to come to her senses due to the incredible destructive power.

Break through one point

avoid

It is impossible to say.

It was a magic that Kaede put a lot of effort into preparing, knowing that she would appear.

Therefore, Eunha focused on blocking the attack rather than avoiding it.

The magic created at the tip of the sword envelopes the entire galaxy and becomes a huge spear.

The spear nullified the rain of arrows.

At the same time, Eunha threw herself into a nearby building.

I can’t stay here for long.

At least that magic… Pfft… !

The only thing Eunha could do with Kaede, who had air superiority, was to quickly subdue her.

Speed ​​was the way to live.

So he planned to go out through another entrance, hide in another building, and repeat this to confuse Kaede.

Meanwhile, I was making a plan to get behind her…

─Tukwaaaaang!!

As if she had even calculated that.

A trap went off in the third building Eunha entered.

While Kaede was attacking the galaxy, she set up a trap inside the building.

“You’re really acting like a suspect…! You’re not going to use the building anyway, right?”

I was impressed with Kaede at first.

As I fell into her trap one after another, I could no longer admire it.

Eunha hurriedly threw herself from the collapsing building.

As if he had been waiting for that moment, he continued to run away, avoiding the pouring magic.

Cheonbo

Nevertheless, Eunha was getting closer and closer to Kaede.

The traps she had set up were running out, revealing their limitations.

Eunha, aiming for that moment, walked along the wall and lunged at Kaede.

poem of storm

Comet

Of course she wouldn’t leave it alone.

A storm rushes in.

A comet fell.

There wasn’t even any cover around Eunha walking on the wall.

In the end, I had to choose.

Do you go down to the ground and avoid it?

Are you going to get through it like this?

Cheonbo

Break through one point

It was the latter that Eunha chose.

Kaede also seemed to have realized that Eunha would make such a choice.

She desperately fired an arrow.

Cheonbo

Cheonbo

Cheonbo

But she couldn’t stop Eunha from pushing at her speed.

In the end, the huge window climbed up the wall and rose high into the sky.

Eunha was able to reach the rooftop of the building she was in.

Of course─.

─Picking stars

She quickly ran away.

I tried to shoot the arrow as far as possible and then move to the rooftop of another building.

So she widened the distance and tried to prepare a new attack—.

─Woobo

Eunha immediately kicked her feet.

It seemed like a flow of mana.

The position she moved to happened to be a position where he could move at once.

“—If possible, I shouldn’t have used that magic. Really, that magic is no different from fraud.” “I originally had no intention of using it. But I thought it would never end if I didn’t use it.”

It was an instant.

Eunha appeared behind Kaede and aimed her sword.

When she realized his presence, she was shocked and let out a sigh.

“Good job. It was a good strategy to use the terrain and not even give me time to think properly.”

“Noh Eunha.”

“why?”

“It would be a huge mistake to think that it will end like this.”

“……!”

At that time, an arrow flew in from the 9 o’clock direction.

He belatedly felt the presence of an arrow and was a bit disappointed.

The moment she felt his presence.

Kaede quickly deflected the arrow and sent the arrow flying.

Hiss!

Kaede, who can control the direction of arrows, intentionally sent the arrow she had just fired flying far away.

Eunha came back when he was off guard and targeted him.

Of course, it was nothing more than a carelessness.

The arrow she fired when she felt a sense of crisis was very small.

But even a very small arrow was enough to create a gap for her to move.

“—If you thought I only knew how to use a bow, realize now.”

“……!”

After leaving Eunha, Kaede suddenly spread her skirt and took out a tonfa from the garter ring on her thigh.

She quickly grabbed two tonfas and rushed towards Eunha.

“—I will struggle until the end.”

Of course, I learned bayonet techniques.

I also learned close-quarters fighting techniques.

She swung her tonfa.

Eunha was taken aback by what happened so suddenly.

☆

Fighting skills for close combat.

It was something Kaede practiced intensively while sparring with Ontaeyang.

Among them, she showed talent with the Tonfaran weapon.

You have to block it with one arm.

If I block it with both arms, I will get hit.

I usually wear it as a garter ring on my thigh.

Byeok Haesu’s device that turns into a tonfa when infused with mana.

Holding the tonfa, she blocked a sword flying from the side.

“…Tsk…!”

She blocked the sword with one arm and gritted her teeth.

At the same time, he immediately hurled the tonfa held in his right hand towards the galaxy’s ship.

There was a feeling of impact.

But that is─.

“—Didn’t you clearly say that you would only use one bag?”

“You didn’t take it out of the sheath.”

“Your character is really bad.”

“What about your personality that has been hiding Tonfa until now?”

A galaxy blocked by a creeping winter of snow.

He blocked it with his sheath.

As she was looking for an opportunity to turn the situation around, she couldn’t help but frown.

As the close combat continued like that…

“—It’s a weapon that suits you really well. Keep learning about it.” “…Ugh…!”

Limitations were bound to be revealed.

They say they practiced countless times.

Since the opponent was Noh Eun-ha, the results of her practice so far were not of much help.

In the end, at some point, she became obsessed with blocking the Galaxy Sword.

Meanwhile─.

─There is no need to take a step back. You can just take half a step back.

Kaede trusted her instincts.

When Eunha swung her sword, the surrounding air shook violently.

And Kaede was able to predict the direction and strength of the trajectory by sensing the shaking air.

“……!”

It was a strange feeling.

I had to focus on my eyes to avoid the galaxy’s sword.

Just a moment ago, she had very lightly dismissed his attack.

From then on, she focused on her instincts and tried to avoid Eunha’s attacks.

This one is fake.

The next one is real.

The game has already been decided.

But she wanted to fully understand what she was feeling.

Coincidentally, Eunha also felt it―.

“—I’ll continue.”

“Please continue.”

Eunha’s eyes opened wide.

Soon Eunha giggled and started swinging her sword faster.

Dance all over the place

A trajectory that doesn’t know where it will take you.

Vertical, horizontal, diagonal, zigzag, etc.

Even after seeing the sword moving irregularly, she dodged the attack by only half a step.

In the end─.

─There is no need to see it with your eyes.

Because all my senses are feeling it anyway.

She closed her eyes.

If you do it wrong, you could get hurt.

She heard her instincts, her gift’s voice.

The flow of mana.

movement of air.

I felt it all through my skin.

☆

Gift <Environmental Sensing>.

A gift that is good at detecting changes in the environment and is optimized for evasion depending on use.

It was a gift from Kaede Hoshimiya.

After realizing her gift before returning, she grew rapidly as a ranger and was ultimately called <Shingung>.

And <Shingung> showed its evasion ability to avoid any attack and played a trick on the opponent.

It’s really amazing.

I was surprised when I used the tonfa, but I never thought I would even recognize it as a gift.

While dealing with Kaede.

Eunha could only express admiration.

Even in her previous life, Kaede Hoshimiya used a tonfa as a weapon.

But that was in the distant future.

From the beginning, the relationship between succession and succession was wrong.

After becoming aware of the Gift, she learned close-quarters fighting techniques.

Thus, it was reborn as a <shrine> that was perfect even in close combat.

It grows too fast.

At this rate, it will only be a matter of time before it is reborn as a <shrine>.

Eunha was satisfied when she saw Kaede’s growth.

It was a skill that exceeded expectations.

Maybe she will be called <Shingung> in a few years.

That’s why he helped her understand the gift with a smile on his face.

In the first place, Kaede was using the gift until now.

I only understood the gift as a way to explore the surroundings. He just didn’t know that he could use the Gift to avoid attacks.

This was something she had to realize on her own.

Therefore, unlike Eunha who made other friends aware of the gift, she did not say anything to her.

And now like this─.

[─Winner, Noh Eun-ha.]

Her gift has blossomed.

Although we lost in sparring.

She had a somewhat flushed face.

“Do you think you can do it again?”

“…It’s ambiguous. I feel like I can do it, but I don’t think I can.”

“Do you remember the feeling?” “I remember the feeling… but I don’t think I’ll remember it for a long time.” “Then practice until you remember it.”

“I think so.”

Kaede was sweating profusely.

Kaede, her hair sticking to her cheek, picked up the bow that had fallen on the floor.

Then I looked back at Eunha.

“─Thank you….”

“What are you doing? Thank you.”

“I’m saying thank you because I’m grateful. It’s just that I’ve never had anything to be thankful for until now.” “Oh my….”

The audience is cheering.

The large monitor that was broadcasting the stadium showed the image of her closing her eyes and dodging his sword just moments ago.

That’s why other people were so impressed when they saw it.

Of course, Kaede’s reaction was different.

She clenched her molars.

“─Then I’ll turn it on….”

Stop playing it.

Was it because of the intense battle?

Or is it because I am embarrassed?

Kaede’s face was red.

Eunha chuckled at her.

“Oh, right. You remember, right?”

“what.”

“You said it. Prove to me that you can have me.”

“however.”

“Now you’re mine, right? Don’t say anything else later.”

“Okay, do whatever you want.”

“Then, if you join my party, can the settlement ratio be 9:1? Of course, 9 is mine, and 1 is you.”

“I said I would be a member of your party, but I never said I would be a slave.”

Kaede responded bluntly.
