28 – Tournament-7

Erst Katharin.

I stared at her as she stood on her playing field.

Long black hair, cold eyes, white skin and an awkward smile.

Her determination to do anything to win, her ruthlessness and judgment to exploit any man for her.

A being who could be said to be the crystallization of a warlock stood in front of me.

“Ha…”

In many senses, she was a warlock.

Most famous. The Erst family makes even ordinary people in foreign countries ask, ‘Oh, that black wizard family?’ It had a solid reputation to the point that it could be recognized as such.

Their actions become the basis of a warlock. Everyone judges warlocks by their standards.

The general perception of ‘noble warlocks’ held by people in this world was, without exception, a perception created by the ‘Erst family’.

They plot without stopping. It deceives people with profits, and the moment those who are so deceived become useless, they are ruthlessly cut off.

All those who stand in the way are killed by an ‘unknown accident’, and those who are afraid survive under their connivance.

Although her common people were afraid of her, they looked at her other warlocks with the same gaze.

A being that doesn’t mind being despised a little more, and doesn’t mind being ostracized a little more.

“It’s a shame, Wade. Do you think I met you too early?”

“I think this is just right, but I think differently.”

I thought about moving on, but I’ve come too far for that.

I sympathize. I have cleared this game with numerous routes and companions, and I knew what kind of situation she was in.

However, it is too dangerous to establish her authority.

“That’s a shame. Wade. Since the princess is not there, I’ll ask you again. Do you have any intention of coming under me?”

“No. Unfortunately.”

Kazott contacted her. Not many people knew about the organization right now, but one day their evil deeds will come to the surface.

At that time, I must mobilize all the evidence and influence I have to erase their traces from this academy.

Even if I am friendly with her now, I have no choice but to become hostile toward her when the time comes.

“I heard that something big happened… I thought that if you were like Mr. Wade, you could learn a lot from that incident.”

“That’s sad. I’m sure Miss Katharine won’t learn anything from that.”

Moreover, the timing is not good.

Even if I cooperate with her, I must still take the lead over her.

Once Katharine touches me, even if I cooperate with her out of favor or calculation, she will think, ‘Wade gave in.’

That is unacceptable.

“Okay. When you think about it… there are still so many things I don’t know about you.”

Katharine did not lose her composure. I don’t know how long I can keep smiling like that.

“You don’t have to worry about that. You will know as much as you want.”

She will realize it now.

How strong I am, and how much determination she has to make to fight me and win.

“Let’s begin.”

The fight has begun. Magical energy spurted out from her hands.

Kelin just watched the two people’s war of nerves.

Neither of them seemed to have any intention of backing down. The facial expression was smiling, but the life inside was not hidden.

‘…Because it’s just a competition. It’ll be okay.’

No matter how sharp Katharine is, she is not so thoughtless that she would carelessly kill someone during a competition.

Even if Kazot asked her to do so, she would not try to kill someone herself. At least, no one dies in this fight.

Served for a long time. From the time she was abandoned and left nowhere to win her favor, until now.

‘Am I still serving the young lady…’

Her loyalty has not changed. At least, that’s what Kellin believed.

Although she was trembling with fear after finding out Wade’s identity, her goal was still to stop the fight.

Her real purpose was to protect the young lady from a monster whose purpose and principles were not understood.

“Ugh!”

From Katharine and Claire’s hands, black magic energy like fog spewed out.

Kellyn recalled Wade’s last words to her.

– Setting you up as a vanguard against Katharine is a huge bad news.

-They know you well. How you fight, how much power you have.

-Of course, you know Katharine well… They are a warlock, and you are a dark knight, right?

From noble mtl dot com

-Assuming sufficient time is given to prepare, there are a lot more cards they can use.

Even though they are humans who use the same magical energy, the warlock’s strategies are much more diverse. Although it may be a bit slower and require some preliminary work, the number of things you can do is much greater.

Compared to the Dark Knight, who basically couldn’t do much other than improve his physical abilities and make his sword sharper and harder, the Warlock could use one of numerous dark magics.

-Besides, in order to inevitably fight Katharine, you have to run ahead. It’s a loss.

In that respect, his instructions were extremely reasonable.

-However, there is one person on Katharine’s team who doesn’t know much about you.

The black magic energy clashes dizzyingly. A barrier covered in demonic energy is created where you cannot see even an inch in front of you.

-Olivia G. You may have heard the information, but even so, there are limits.

-There are limits to the knowledge that someone other than a prosecutor can convey through language, and even if she knows information about you, there are limits to the cards she can use.

Kelin is not the only one lacking strategy diversity.

There was information that they were using the power of darkness, but it was still in its infancy and not enough. It’s not like he sacrificed a lot or got used to the magic.

-So our first goal is to create a one-on-one situation between you and Olivia.

-It doesn’t matter if you lose or win in the process. From then on, you can move according to your capabilities.

And now his strategy has worked out brilliantly.

“Are you Kelin… She doesn’t look as great as I thought.”

This Saga, the top of her head covered in black, was glaring at Kelin.

“Ugh…”

When it comes to dealing with magic, Olivia is nothing short of a novice.

It is nothing compared to Kelin, who has already given so much that his existence is at risk, and who has been handling magic energy for over ten years.

“I have no personal regrets, but I have to win.”

However, that is not a reason to undervalue her.

Even with the power of light, Olivia has a level of power that exceeds that of most cadets.

‘The eyes…’

Moreover, the resolve is different.

Unlike Kelin, who was still shaking, Olivia stood tall, determined to take down the enemy in front of her.

“Don’t be too resentful.”

Olivia’s sword advanced towards Kellin.

‘…It’s coming!’

No matter how complicated my mind was, I couldn’t turn a blind eye to the enemy in front of me. Kelin held her sword tightly, preparing for the coming attack.

One word from Olivia disrupted her posture without mercy.

“It’s not my fault that you were abandoned, right?”

“Lilian, save your arrows. Until I tell you otherwise, think of everything that appears in front of you as a shadow!”

“Okay!”

“Claire, deploy the shield to deflect the spell! It feels like pouring in magic power to ignore it!”

“Ha, but…”

“To begin with, I’m on a different level than you! If you respond to each one, there’s no end to it!”

Orders are pouring in. I expected it to some extent, but it was beyond my imagination.

“Here we come again!”

One knight, three warlocks. It is a combination of attacks without considering variables or healing.

However, this was enough for the search.

There was no need to give much time. In the end, Katarin’s technique for using black magic was superior to mine.

“Hmm…”

I closed my eyes for a moment, lost in thought, and shot a pitch-black, spherical mass of magic towards Katharine.

The lethality was not low, but Katarin would be able to defeat it on her own.

Since the power was not obtained by making a contract with someone, there was no need for long and boring chanting. Just because I wanted to, my magic energy was fired towards Katharine.

“Let’s see…”

Katharine is probably embarrassed right now.

As a warlock, I am not shaken by her control. Katharine must have been confident in her skills and magic, so she would not be able to accept this situation.

Thinking that way, I couldn’t help but frown when I saw Katharine’s relaxed expression.

‘…What is it?’

Did Kellin leak more information than expected? Or, did I realize what level of a warlock I am through my actions?

No. That can’t be possible. If that were the case, Katharine wouldn’t have provoked me with such clumsy words.

Much more seriously, she should have treated me as an opponent she had to put her all on the line to defeat.

‘What the hell…’
