Chapter 117

A semi-final match between Archery Department and Magic Department A.

as was feared.

The strength of the archery department showed a different aspect from before.

＜Archery Department Kang Jun-pyo’s temporary shields are all exhausted!＞

＜Archery Department Moon Ki-ho’s temporary shields are all exhausted!＞

…

…

As soon as the mock battle begins.

Due to magic from Magic Department A, most of the archery students’ temporary shields were exhausted.

“Oh, I can’t help it.”

“If you look at magic regeneration, you can’t beat the Department of Magic.”

“Even with the buff magic, there is no way.”

“ha.”

Similarly, in this mock battle, unlike before, Minjun tried to save some strength.

He did not offer any resistance.

It was because it took some time to regenerate magic.

To him, what was going to happen as soon as the semifinals were over was more important.

Eventually, shortly after the semi-finals started, Minjun also used up all of his temporary shields.

＜Archery Department Cha Min-jun’s temporary shields are all exhausted!＞

When the temporary shield was exhausted to Min-jun, who was the last corner to believe, the archery department’s move also came to an end in the semifinals.

＜Archery and temporary shields are all exhausted!＞

＜Advancing to the finals of the Department of Magic Department A competition!＞

“Does it feel like it’s over without even trying?”

“In the end, just like last year, the swordsmanship department and the magic department are facing each other again this year.”

The quarter-finals ended in less than 10 minutes.

From the point of view of Magic Department A students.

There was nothing to regret because we went through the semi-finals with ease.

“Is this too bland than I thought?”

“Well, there is nothing wrong with us. It’s rather good to prepare for the finals.”

“Should we keep an eye on how long the Gunner department holds up?”

The magic students took a honey-like break, leaving behind the semifinals that ended early.

On the other hand, the simulated battle between the Swordsmanship Department and the Gunner Department was still in full swing.

“Oh, the resistance is stronger than I thought?”

“I know? It’s pretty tight.”

“There was a reason you came all the way here.”

In the match with the Swordsmanship Department, the Gunner Department’s resistance was tougher than expected.

Rather, the strengths of the two departments seemed to be roughly similar.

On the other hand, Minjun, who was watching the scene, thought that the longer the time, the worse it was.

‘Just a little more, a little more. Please pull me as far as possible.’

He had a reason for doing this.

thats the reason.

This was because the 3rd and 4th place matches were scheduled to take place immediately after the semifinals.

On the other hand, in the original department competition, there is no official 3rd or 4th place match.

New 3rd and 4th place matches will be added this year.

The academy had a reason for doing this.

With the start of the second semester, the sudden unfolding of the departmental competition.

After today, there will be no more department competitions this year.

The position of the trainees is also embarrassing.

Because of this, an unexpected 3rd and 4th place match will be held.

Minjun thinks.

Rather than pouring all of their energy into the quarterfinals, which seemed unlikely to win in the first place.

Rather, I thought that it would be beneficial to pay more attention to the 3rd and 4th place matches and achieve good results.

‘Let’s go to the finals. It will probably be over in less than a minute. Although going up is daunting in the first place.’

No matter how it goes up to the final stage.

Because the physical strength of the students in the Department of Archery was already on the floor.

Anticipating that the 3rd and 4th place match would be concluded with the Gunner Department, I thought it would be the best way to reserve my strength.

On the other hand, going to the final against the swordsmanship department?

If this match were to happen, it would have been the final stage of the worst departmental competition ever.

On the other hand, Gunner Department has no way of knowing how the future will unfold.

Gunner Department trainees were fighting a mock battle more fiercely and fiercely than ever before for tickets to the finals.

Tang- Tang-

“Tighten up! It should not stick at all.”

“Too fast for that!”

“Please fire support from the rear as much as possible.”

“Ah, sir! Give me no chance.”

They tried to block the swordsmanship department’s offensive with different firearms.

Distant Dealer Orientation.

Against the swordsmanship department, which was good at close combat, he tried not to close the distance somehow.

However, the swordsmanship department has a large number of elite trainees.

There seemed to be no intention of following the plans of the Gunner students.

“more! More pressure!”

“Anyway, if we close the distance, the charter will naturally come over to us.”

“Heh, the mood is already leaning towards us.”

“It is over.”

It’s definitely a well-structured department.

The more the mock battle time goes by.

The real ability of the swordsmanship department began to unfold here and there.

***

A mock battle lasted for about 40 minutes.

The Department of Gunners was already exhausted.

Even in the swordsmanship department, it was obvious that she was exhausted.

It wasn’t as much as the gunner department.

Although it was the Gunner Department with strong resistance, it could not withstand the skill and tenacious temperament of the Swordsmanship Department.

＜Gunner department temporary shield exhausted!＞

In the end, the Department of Swordsmanship defeated the Department of Gunners and succeeded in advancing to the finals of the department competition this year as well as last year.

Although it was a mock battle with no surprises.

The Gunner Department’s defense was also enough to receive high praise throughout the department’s competition.

With this, all the mock battles for the quarterfinals will end.

The Xenix faculty gathered in one place.

“Every match is exciting, so this match really exceeds expectations!”

“I didn’t know that the level of Gunner students would be this high.”

“The future of Gunner Department looks very bright!”

On the other hand, there were also professors who were disappointed that the finals were going on as they were.

“Isn’t it a pity that the finals are going on right away?”

“you’re right. The trainees must have had no preparation period for the departmental competition, but there are some aspects that are somewhat lacking to just watch the finals.”

“Hmm, but it’s a bit of a burden to play the loser’s revival.”

“Right now, the resurrection of the loser feels a bit late.”

“Is there any other way?”

While the discussion between the professors is getting a little longer.

President Kim Han-seok stroked his beard.

“Then, why don’t we play the 3rd and 4th place matches separately? These are the two departments that stood out the most in this department competition.”

“Ohh!”

“That’s fine, President.”

“It’s the first time we’ve introduced a 3rd or 4th place match. It sounds like something worth seeing.”

To President Kim’s idea, the faculty’s reaction was quite positive.

“Let’s see. If it was a match for 3rd or 4th place, it would be a match between Gunner Department and Archery Department.”

“There were a lot of impressive parts in both departments. I’m curious about the match.”

“I don’t think it would be bad to try it once.”

“It’s the first 3rd and 4th place match of the year! Are you okay?”

In response, President Kim made a decision.

“Then I understand that everyone agrees.”

“yes.”

After discussions with faculty members.

President Kim came up to the podium.

“Now only the finals of the department competition remain. This year, it seemed like they showed a lot of different sides, so I was very happy with my eyes too. It seems that our professors and you will also have a lot of regrets to proceed with the finals right away. therefore.”

All the trainees, who had no way of knowing what President Kim would say, paid attention to him.

“This year, for the first time in the department competition, we are going to introduce a 3rd and 4th place match.”

“!!”

To the sound of introducing a 3rd or 4th place match.

The trainees started whispering to each other.

“to? Introducing 3rd and 4th place matches?!”

“Wait a minute. Speaking of 3rd or 4th place?”

“It’s the archery department and the gunner department.”

“So suddenly?”

“Wouldn’t that be kind of fun?”

“Isn’t archery major an advantage?”

“As it is now, the Gunner Department is completely exhausted.”

“What can I do, I feel like I went all-in with Gunners in the quarterfinals.”

“Did you know it would turn out like this?”

As the atmosphere became a bit chaotic, President Kim continued talking.

“As much as it was a department competition that started suddenly. This is a way to give you more opportunities. After a little preparation time, we will start the 3rd and 4th place matches. The archery department and the gunner department hope to gather in a moment at the main playground field.”

***

＜Department Competition 3rd and 4th Place Finals＞

Archery Department and Gunner Department trainees gathered in the middle of the main playground.

“Hey, Cha Min-joon. Did you know?”

“What?”

“I thought it would be like this.”

“I am not from some future. How do you know?”

“okay? But you said earlier that what happens after the semifinals is more important.”

“Oh, that? I thought there would be a resurrection match for the losers.”

“Before the resurrection of the losers?”

Kang Jun-pyo looked at Min-joon suspiciously.

However, Minjun calmly responded as if nothing had happened.

“I heard that in the early days of the department competition, there was also a resurrection match for the loser. So I did it just in case.”

“What if you didn’t?”

“For that reason, this department competition was too inconsiderate to the trainees. I didn’t think President Kim, who cares about trainees more than anyone else, would go that far.”

“Oh, did you make any sense? Then, at least tell me in advance that it will be so.”

“I said it for nothing, but if it doesn’t work out like that, I’m going to blame someone.”

“It’s nice, really.”

Fortunately (?), it seemed that the eyes of suspicion had lessened a little.

Kang Joon-pyo’s personality.

It was true that he was a guy who kept asking questions, but it was unexpectedly equipped with a sloppy machine.

It was he who was easily persuaded by Minjun’s words.

On the other hand, the faces of the Gunner students on the other side were not so bright.

Because he had already fought a tough battle against the swordsmanship department, almost risking his life and death in a simulated battle.

There was no way they had any stamina left.

“Ah, if I knew it would be like this, I would have done it in moderation.”

“Still, the opponent is an archery major, so wouldn’t it be worth trying?”

“Can’t you see us now? Some kids have a hard time even standing.”

“I really have no luck or support.”

They were already in a state where their magic was gone.

It was true that the Department of Archery, which had been taking a break all along, had an advantage.

On the other hand, Min-jun called the archery students together.

“Now, it’s the last match, so let’s finish well. Everyone should try this, right?”

“Sure.”

“Let’s finish it at once.”

“I’ll look in front of you as much as possible.”

All of a sudden, the students of the archery department have bright eyes.

Minjun was like that too.
