7.
The moment Ulan left the base.
All video recording devices illuminated him.
Eventually, when he faced Eloden’s attack force, the tension was overflowing.
But even for a moment.
As Laurea headed toward Arsene’s base, the video recording device split into two. To film the battle that will take place at Arsene’s stronghold.
The moment the screen split into two.
Pow! Cheesy!
With a small explosion sound.
The screen suddenly turned pitch black.
〔what? What is it?〕
〔It looks like there was an accident.〕
Not only the audience but also the broadcasters on both sides looked puzzled by the sudden situation.
There are only two video recording devices left.
Should I share this? I suddenly had this concern, but surprisingly it was resolved quickly.
〔… … !〕
〔The Ulan cadet has moved!〕
This is because of Ulan, who suddenly started fighting.
Of course, Laurea was an important figure, but there was something that received more attention than her.
Ulaanbaatar and Ian Marcus.
As the aces representing both sides appeared to be about to start a fight, the remaining video recording devices immediately focused their attention on the location.
This also applies to broadcasters.
The two men and women looked at the formation where Eloden’s attack force was deployed with excited faces.
〔This is a 3-star divine shield!〕
〔No matter how expert the Ulan cadet is, it will be difficult to break through the Holy Shield.〕
〔Judgment is important here. A 3-star holy shield has a short duration, so it might be a good idea to wait a bit before approaching.〕
Broadcasters each giving their opinions.
Then.
Ulan, who was conversing with Teron Schlagen, suddenly approached the Holy Shield.
〔I think this is a bit hasty action!〕
[This is not a wise decision. Now that the shackles of condemnation exist, if you are hastily blocked by the shield, you will only be given the opportunity to counterattack.〕
The broadcasters expressed concern.
On the other hand, Ulan paid no heed. She just silently moves on with her steps.
Some time after that.
As if defying everyone’s expectations, the Holy Shield failed to stop Ulan. Rather, it was broken into nothingness like a piece of paper.
〔… … ?〕
The broadcasters’ eyes widened.
The two muttered in bewilderment at the sight of the sacred shield being destroyed so easily.
〔No, why does it just break through?〕
〔Well, that’s right… … ?〕
The two had dumbfounded faces.
Like I didn’t understand the situation.
But the only thing broken was the shield. There is still one more trap left to deter Ulan.
[Shackles of condemnation! As long as it exists, Eloden still has a chance!〕
〔Now that I think about it, what are the shackles of condemnation?〕
[This is a sacred spell used by priests. Binds the opponent with sacred chains and shackles, temporarily rendering them unable to move.〕
After completing the detailed explanation.
Liv Merhale, the relayer of the Eloden camp, shouted with a triumphant expression.
〔Once you are bound by the shackles, you will never be freed easily this time!〕
With a confident voice.
Paaang!
The sacred chains were broken.
That’s not all. The shackles of condemnation also melted into thin air and disappeared.
A sight that completely exceeded expectations.
Liv froze with her mouth open.
At the same time, Arsene’s camp relayer, Edeline, tilted her head.
〔You were released?〕
〔… … .〕
〔Why?〕
No answer came back.
The reason Liv didn’t know the reason was the same.
And that moment.
The Ulan counterattack has begun.
Pow!
After swinging his club and blowing away the opponent’s wooden sword, Ulan violently grabbed the opponent’s face. He was then thrown to the floor.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
A land that shakes violently.

——————
With a strong shock, Liv and Edeline, who had been dazed, finally came to their senses.
〔Ooh, Ulaanbaatar!〕
〔We are quickly suppressing the cadets of the Eloden camp!〕
Two men and women hastily relaying the battle.
However, as the battle continued, the two’s expressions became increasingly strange.
〔Uh, but… … .〕
〔Why do you throw your opponent on the ground?〕
As the two said, Ulan not only knocked down the three cadets who had attacked earlier, but also Teron, the representative of Eloden, to the ground.
An action whose meaning is completely unknown.
However, the sight of the head being hit hard enough to sink in was enough to make the viewer feel fear.
But even for a moment.
A roar of cheers erupted from the audience. This is because the moment everyone was waiting for was Ulan and Ian facing each other.
〔The time has finally arrived!〕
〔It is a one-on-one battle between Arsene’s expert, Ulan Bator cadet, and Eloden’s expert, Cadet Ian Marcus!〕
Liv and Edeline also shouted excitedly.
Of course, the questions about Ulan’s antics have not yet been resolved, but this battle was much more important than that.
〔What kind of battle will we show?〕
〔Personally, I expect Cadet Marcus to win overwhelmingly.〕
〔huh? what? Are you taking sides because we are from the same Eloden Academy?〕
〔Absolutely not. I am just telling you the results of objective analysis and predictions.〕
Liv shook her head lightly.
He soon revealed the reason for his prediction.
〔Because Cadet Marcus knows a special prayer used by paladins.〕
〔If it is a special prayer… … ?〕
〔You will know when you see it.〕
A smile appeared on Liv’s lips.
A meaningful laugh. Soon after, the meaning of the smile was revealed.
Paaaaat!
Ian’s body wrapped in silver brilliance.
Divine power began to converge on his wooden sword. A crystal of pure power, different from magical power.
〔no way… … !〕
Edeline’s eyes widened.
Like I know what that is.
[Oh, Auror! Are you really an Auror?!〕
〔that’s right. It is a sacred auror.〕
The symbol of the Master, the Auror.
Liv grinned and agreed.
Then Edeline asked back, still unable to hide her surprise.
[B-But Cadet Ian is an expert, right? But how on earth could an auror… … .〕
〔Thanks to the prayer.〕
〔Is this the special prayer you mentioned earlier?〕
〔Yes, the Paladin of Eloden can instantly use much stronger power than his original power through his unique prayer.〕
The explanation is almost over.
For a moment, the audience was shaking as if they were agitated.
It wasn’t just the stands.
The waiting room where the eliminated players were gathered was also in shock.
“You’re using aurors?”
“No, that’s a foul!”
“How can I overcome that… … .”
Shock, complaints, resignation, etc.
These are all reactions from the Arsene camp players. This was the same for Iris Senior, Arsene’s representative.
‘For some reason, he’s incredibly strong.’
I also understand that it was one-sided.
Iris sighed silently. Her eyes turned to Ulan beyond the screen.
‘We fought hard, but… … .’
I guess that’s it for now.
Still, it was a great fight.
Ulan had defeated six of Eloden’s raiders by himself.
‘Okay, that’s enough.’
Iris’s shoulders slowly slumped.
Just when I was about to give up hope with a calm face.
Something suddenly caught my eye.
‘Yes?’
These are Ibella and Delia.
Unlike the other students, the two girls still had faces that had not given up hope.
Rather, he just looks at Ulan beyond the screen with eyes sparkling like stars. When Iris saw this, her eyes gradually grew bigger.
‘No way against Aurors… … .’
Do you think you can win?
No, you can never win.
If a weapon with an aura collides with a weapon without an aura, the latter will inevitably break.
〔Is this really how the fight will end?!〕
〔It will be so. At the level of Expert, even if you die and wake up, you will not be able to defeat the Master.〕
Broadcasters also reacted negatively.
Of course, it would be natural.
Even children know that an expert cannot beat a master. The only thing that can beat a master is the same master.
‘therefore… … .’
Ulan can never beat Ian.
Iris was sure of that.
But at that moment.
“… … uh?”
I heard my confidence shatter.
This was because the body of Ulan, the barbarian who confronted Ian, instantly turned red.
At the same time, red-hot flames rose from the club in his hand. A power of the same nature as the divine aura that surrounds Ian’s sword.
[Oh, Auror! Isn’t that an Auror too?!〕
Edeline shouted as if screaming.
A face filled with astonishment.
She wasn’t the only one surprised. Liv, too, opened her eyes wide and quivered her lips.
〔How on earth can he, who is not a Holy Knight, use Aurors?!〕
Edeline shouted in doubt.
In fact, the answer to her question is very simple. Because Aurors are symbols and tokens that only masters can use.
In that sense, there is only one reason why Ulan can use Aurors.
“… … “The level of master.”
A violently trembling voice came out from Iris’s lips. The moment when an unbelievable fact was engraved in everyone’s minds.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
Ending with a loud roar.
The battle is over.
〔… … .〕
After a while, after the dust cleared.
What was shown on the screen was Ian thrown upside down on the ground like the other cadets.
The wooden sword wrapped in sacred aura was broken in half, and the shield was completely shattered.
As the winner and loser were decided in the blink of an eye, silence engulfed the audience.
They didn’t see anything.
I didn’t even know what happened or how they got Ian to the ground.
But I knew this for sure.
Ulan is a master.
Not an expert.
Faced with a truth that I have no choice but to believe.
Iris clenched her fists.
I thought it would be impossible.
After being interrupted by the student council, everyone thought it was over when Ian manifested his Aura.
But Ulan was different.
As if he was mocking her expectations, he entered the battlefield alone and succeeded in reversing the situation.
Furthermore, everything that Iris thought was a wall of reality was smashed. It was a time when I was watching Ulan’s activities as if I was fascinated.
“So you said it earlier?”
“Ulan will never, ever support.”
Ibella and Delia grinned.
With a confident smile.
[Winning faction: Arsene Academy]
[Final winner: Ulaanbaatar]
[The mock battle has ended.]
The friendly mock battle has ended.
But no cheers were heard.
The audience is filled with silence. Students and professors looked at Ulan blankly.
It had to be that way.
Since the opening of Arsene Academy.
It was the moment when the first student among the students to reach the level of master proved his existence.
The day the friendly mock match ended.
What caught everyone’s attention was not Eloden’s delegation, but a single barbarian warrior.
8.
After the mock battle officially ended.
Officials were busy preparing for the awards ceremony.
On the other hand, Arsene’s professors still seemed surprised and could not take their eyes off Ulan.
“Honestly, I still can’t believe it.”
“You were a master, not an expert.”
“You’re sure you didn’t lie about your age, right?”
Shock, confusion, disbelief, etc.
A variety of emotions flowed out through the voice. At the same time, each of the professors busily rolled their eyes.
With the emergence of a new master.
To judge his value.
Ulan is a master from the barbarian tribe.
There are no relatives, no clans, and no political exchanges or relationships with other countries.
In other words, it doesn’t belong anywhere.
This was a significant advantage. Because it was like a strategic weapon left lying around without an owner.
The moment I realized this.
“Hmm! “I wake up first.”
“Please excuse me too.”
“I have urgent business to attend to… … .”
The professors from the Kingdom Alliance left one by one, looking at each other.
This was to deliver information to each person’s homeland that a master from a barbarian race had appeared.
Did you feel this chaotic atmosphere?
Professor Stella, who had been quietly looking around, opened her mouth with a stiff expression on her face.
“… … senior.”
“why?”
“No matter how you look at it, it looks like it’s premature, right?”
Ethan didn’t answer.
There was no need to say anything. He frowned and sighed.
‘The situation I was most worried about occurred.’
It is revealed that Ulan is the Master.
However, even Ethan did not expect this incident.
It was unexpected that a cadet named Ian Marcus would manifest Auras, and that he would create Ulando Auras to counter him.
‘I can’t just regret it.’
The situation is already spilled water.
From now on, professors from each kingdom will face fierce competition. To obtain the independent strategic weapon, Ulan.
In particular, in the case of small countries that do not have a master, there is a possibility of presenting unexpected and unprecedented conditions.
‘To prevent this… … .’
There is no time to hesitate anymore.
We need to approach Ulan, get a clear idea of what he wants, and negotiate.
As soon as possible. Or even right now.
After organizing all my thoughts.
He looked back at Stella and asked.
“What about Dean Erkazan?”
“You went to the dean’s office earlier. Dean Diphlin was initially absent due to personal research.”
It seems that Ulan returned to the dean’s office a few minutes before the auror manifested.
Ethan immediately turned around.
“uh? “Where are you going?”
“Dean’s office.”
“Ugh! “Do you want to tell me right away?”
“We need to come up with a solution before it’s too late.”
Of course, it is certain that Dean Erkazan will be angry. However, it would be a shame to hide the fact simply because you are afraid of his anger.
It would be better to spread this news as quickly as possible and prepare countermeasures together.
That’s why Ethan walked towards the military studies building, leaving Stella behind, who was horrified.
Meanwhile, it was a time when professors were busy.
The preparations for the awards ceremony were finally completed.
“You’ve waited a long time!”
“The awards ceremony will begin now!”
Edeline and Liv, who broadcasted the mock battle, served as emcees for the awards ceremony. The two read the given script clearly with quite nervous faces.
“First of all, rewards are given to the players who performed the best in each side.”
“Cadet Ulan Bator from the Arsen camp and Cadet Ian Marcus from the Eloden camp, forward!”
Ulan silently ascended the podium.
On the other hand, Ian did not appear.
It was natural. He fainted after being thrown upside down by Ulan, and was taken to the ward along with other students in similar situations.
And the result.
Ian was represented by Laurea.
“Ulan Bator cadets will be awarded three gold coins and three overnight stay permits as incentives.”
“On behalf of Cadet Ian Marcus, Cadet Laurea is awarded five gold coins and a specially designed plaque as an incentive.”
Even though he received a stay-out permit and gold coins, Ulan did not look very happy. In the first place, his goal was not this kind of compensation.
On the other hand, Ibella and Delia were different.
A reward given only to the winning faction, a stay-out permit. The two who got the reward they wanted looked so happy as if they were flying in the sky.
After the formal praise was over.
“This concludes the awards ceremony!”
“Please applaud once again the players from both camps who fought bravely!”
The sound of applause can be heard around you.
Ulan turned around with an unimpressed face. She was going down from the podium.
But then, suddenly, a voice was heard that snatched away his steps.
“… … Ulan.”
It was Laurea.
Her strange eyes twinkled, and she whispered softly so that only Ulan could hear.
“Are you free tonight?”
“hmm? “Why are you suddenly asking that?”
“Just answer first.”
The fine eyebrows furrowed.
A refreshing look.
Ulan thought for a moment and then gave a positive answer.
“It’ll probably be okay.”
“really? That’s good. “Then come to my room.”
“The reason is?”
“I have something to say. “It’s important.”
The face turned quite serious.
Ulan, seeing this, nodded silently.
I meant to understand.
And time goes by.
Before I knew it, the promised night had arrived.
Chapter 28. Why don’t we make it a draw?
