105. Interim Assessment (6)

Of the two, Serena was the first to run.

Serena’s wooden sword shook at the trembling vibration.

Although Yuri did not see the condensed mana, he intuitively knew how great its destructive power would be.

She hardened her face.

‘If it gets hit, it won’t end until it breaks in one place. Something like that… … . It’s a foul… … .’

however.

Yuri, who saw Serena rushing at her, couldn’t help but open her eyes wide.

‘Why are you swinging your sword like that… … ?’

Yuri, who is unfamiliar with swords, feels awkward even when looking at it.

Normally, Yuri had tried to thoroughly capture all of Sieg’s appearances under the orders of the first prince.

The swordsmanship she had seen.

What Zeke wields bread.

The sword was so neat and stable.

In comparison, Serena’s swordsmanship… … .

‘Too sloppy… … . Ah, no, what do you mean?’

Yuri shook her head and tried to ignore the discomfort.

‘Serena said she had been swinging a sword for a long time. So that’s what’s right… … . I don’t know anything, what do I know How can I be qualified to evaluate Serena’s sword… … .’

Before long, the wooden sword wielded by Serena approaches her head.

Yuri instinctively tilted her head back and dodged the sword.

‘uh?’

and revealing gaps.

‘I think I can swing it around my waist… … ?’

This time, Yuri ignored his intuition.

Because it couldn’t be

She had never learned a sword or anything like that.

This was the first swordsmanship class that I had ever held a wooden sword.

Even after almost two months, I only worked hard on physical training.

It was good to see that it had only been a few days since he had grabbed the wooden sword.

Of course, strangely, the handle of the wooden sword sticks to the hand

There was a feeling that it was strangely easy to cut down, which was the training Zeke had instructed, but that was it.

Even when other students have been sweating for hours and can’t make it

Yuri thought that this practice just happened to be a good fit for him.

Again, Serena’s wooden sword approaches with a booming sound.

Yuri turned again and avoided the sword once more.

‘Uh… … . I think it would be okay if I moved a little smaller.’

In Yuri’s head, Zeke’s gestures came to mind.

A body movement that can be said to be the pinnacle of efficiency in which no one is wasted.

The first few times I’m not used to spacing

His clothes were slightly cut, and his skin was scratched by the release of rough mana, and blood dripped.

Now it passes Serena’s black glass nose tip.

Somehow, Yuri was no longer afraid of Serena’s sword.

‘Why… … .’

A shudder running up the spinal cord.

‘Why, this is fun… … .’

Yuri involuntarily raised the corner of her mouth.

The feeling of a ray of joy rising from her boring life, where there has been no joy at all.

It was a strange feeling that I felt for the first time.

It was just a matter of narrowly avoiding Serena’s sword.

A little more.

A little more.

little bit more.

make me feel

however.

tall.

Suddenly, Serena’s attack stopped.

A deep sadness that comes in the middle of the day.

Yuri licked his lips at the pleasure that ended as soon as it started.

Then Serena’s figure comes into view.

She was sitting on the floor

Yuri’s wooden sword was touching Serena’s neck.

Serena’s expression was as if she had seen something unbelievable.

like seeing a monster.

oh

rattle.

I lost the wooden sword in my hand

Yuri hesitated and took a step back.

back to reality

‘How are you? Isn’t it fun?’

Zeke watched Yuri and Serena fight with their arms crossed.

Yuri imitates her own appearance with only the memories she saw with her eyes.

Zeke raised an eyebrow.

Of course, it was still a long way off, but

The fact that he could imitate Zeke was an explanation of how extraordinary Yuri’s talent was.

the first time i saw her

So, in the pilot class where the minors were gathered, Zeke couldn’t remember Yuri.

Because her talent was so well hidden.

Then, it was the first day of strength training that I noticed her qualities.

In fact, the fact that all of the drills were performed in the demonstration class, which was determined to try and roll the soy spoon, was great.

I felt strange about him and trained him.

Yuri Gilbert.

This guy really was the thing.

I was training in pursuit of maximum efficiency with quiet movements that do not waste muscle and strength as much as possible.

While everyone is panting and having a hard time, the expression looks peaceful by itself.

Of course, thanks to that, the effectiveness of the training was lowered.

Originally, the body grows in the process of tearing and recovering muscles.

It was because he was moving in the direction of less load as much as possible on his own.

After capturing Yuri’s talent like that, Zeke quietly observed Yuri’s appearance.

No matter how shiny a gemstone is, that gaslighting prince.

I didn’t know if I would have to give up on this guy if I was completely subordinate to the 1st prince.

Later, after Zeke was able to use his mana freely

Death’s fate was slowly climbing as Zeke checked in from time to time.

Zeke was able to draw a certain conclusion by weighing emotions and fate.

‘This is not an accident or anything like that.’

Suicide.

That means you are thinking of dying yourself.

Of course, it was only about 7%, so it’s not that serious yet.

‘Sometimes, I think I’m going to commit suicide.’

However, it was worrisome that it had risen sharply from 3% originally to 7% recently.

She became like this after attending the Justia Banquet.

‘That 1st prince did something related to the midterm evaluation.’

There, there was nothing good to do by putting pressure on himself, so he told Yuri to do what the first prince ordered to do to ease the burden.

At the same time, Zeke made up his mind to completely incorporate Yuri Gilbert into his arms this time.

Zeke licked his lips.

‘I don’t know why all the kids here are sunfish.’

Things like chicks that will die if you don’t pay attention to them.

It was such a rare material.

To the point where she couldn’t be more reassured if she turned to our side.

If she became best friends with Soy Spoon and stood by her side, her movements would be much more free than now.

As if teasing Serena, who desperately wields her sword, avoid her sword with minimal movement.

And the gap that was revealed too big.

Yuri moved his wooden sword and pointed it at Serena’s throat.

It must have been that he had swung the sword without realizing it.

‘Yes, I show my back so openly, but the sword doesn’t go.’

Zeke turned his head to check the reactions of the other students.

Let’s get the results as we heard from Zeke the other day.

Iriel’s eyes twinkled, saying that she should be friendly with Yuri.

Soy and Rosnante had their eyes wide open and their mouths open in disbelief.

This alone showed how much they had overestimated Serena.

It didn’t look good to leave it as it was, so Zeke stepped forward.

“Dalian ended. It is a victory for Yuri Gilbert.”

“Nonsense. Something is wrong with this!”

Those words came out of Yuri’s mouth, not Serena’s.

“Well? What’s wrong?”

“There’s no way I, or someone like me, could have won. Eh, this is a coincidence.”

“Yuri Gilbert.”

Zeke stared at the glass.

“Yes.”

“It’s not a coincidence or anything. It is a fair victory by skill. You did a good job.”

However, Yuri still seems to have a hard time accepting the reality.

“therefore… … . Was it fun?”

Zeke asked in a soft voice.

“… … fun… … , there was none.”

Yuri spat out.

Zeke laughed.

“yes. Today’s class ends with this. Let everyone do the rest of their training at home.”

after class.

Yuri Gilbert was summoned to the First Prince today as well.

“What? you… … . You beat Serena in sparring?”

The first prince asked, frowning.

“That’s right.”

Yuri nodded.

“Surely, I remember that you said that Serena is very strong… … .”

“Yes… … . said so.”

“But you won. That Serena.”

1 The prince shook his head.

“Hmm, as far as I know, I know you’ve never swung a sword before. Did he even realize everything about the sword as soon as he held it? That means you’re really a swordsman genius… … . Either the information you brought is wrong… … . ”

“… … .”

“therefore. Which one do you think… … ?”

“Information… … . Now, what went wrong… … . It’s like… … .”

Yuri lowered her head and blurted out her words.

Ilios smiled ominously.

“I was supposed to have a meeting with Count Gilbert today… … .”

“… … !”

Ilios utters insinuating words.

Yuri bit her lip.

“why. Are you worried?”

“… … no.”

“do not worry. glass. Shall I tell your father that he is an idiot who can’t even do the job Yuri asked him to do, and tell him to send him back to the count’s house right away… … .”

Ilios got up from his seat. Then he slowly headed towards Yuri.

“I will pass on this mistake. But, you know? If the same mistake is repeated, I have no choice but to doubt you. therefore… … . Don’t let me doubt you.”

Goosebumps grew as he gently stroked his ear.

“You just have to follow me. without any doubt. unconditionally.”

Feeling like falling into a sticky pit.

Yuri had a foreboding feeling that perhaps he would never escape this person for the rest of his life.

Ilios stepped back and smiled broadly, as if he had never done that before.

“Well, that doesn’t change anything. glass. Whether Serena is strong or not. because it doesn’t matter But don’t forget to give them medicine.”

“Yes… … .”

Yuri had no choice but to answer like that in a miserable mood.
