Episode 46

The auditorium was a real mayhem.

He said he only welcomed words, but his spirit was ferocious.

It simply emitted intangible energy, and it seemed like it could kill people with it.

As such, the level of those who stood on the podium seemed very high.

“Big!”

The momentum had already been going on for over a minute.

Most of the students lost strength in their legs and collapsed on the floor, or some even passed out.

It was literally life torture.

But even in such circumstances, there were those who endured.

“Nearly all the kids who did it survived.”

The top class that I knew as soon as I entered the auditorium.

They stood erect, resisting the momentum.

They must be those who have invited excellent home tutors and have built solid training since childhood.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to withstand this tyrannical force.

Right now, even my legs are shaking.

“Uweeeck! Eww!”

However, not everyone in the top tier was in good shape.

Red Head, who behaved indecently as soon as he came to Benderford.

Bizolt Railton was crawling on the floor vomiting.

Only the prestige of the family was high, but the skills seemed to be lousy.

‘Am I just exerting enough momentum for that guy to endure?’

I glanced around and saw Isabel, who was breaking out in a cold sweat.

Despite being a direct descendant of Landsvalger, she seemed completely invincible.

As I was glancing at Isabel, a man on the podium revealed his face.

He threw off the hood and cloak that he had been stuffing into.

Then, the momentum that dominated the space became stronger than before.

‘Wouldn’t it be better to pretend to collapse? Or do you just stand out from the beginning?’

If he endured properly here, there was a high possibility that he would catch the eyes of the princes.

Few people have completely resisted the momentum.

The time to worry was short.

In order for me, who had no background, to become a key aide to the prince, I had to show that kind of ability.

But it was just that moment.

pop.

“Whew…”

“Heo Eok! Heo!”

The transcendent momentum that had been suppressing the crowd disappeared in an instant.

The guy has finally reaped his strength.

A sigh of relief erupted from all over the auditorium.

Those who held out also showed symptoms of hyperventilation or collapsed.

For a while, confusion continued.

As I was thinking about that, the eyes of the princes quickly scanned the surroundings.

It was natural.

‘They openly lay mats on you, but if you can’t pick them up, you’re an idiot. Oh, don’t look at me with such passionate eyes. Because it’s burdensome.’

I tried to ignore the gaze of the princes and turned my head to the person on the podium.

But, isn’t it just the right time to make eye contact with him?

‘Who was it?’

There was no way that a person of that level would not be known to the public.

But it was not a familiar face.

It was only natural that he threw away all the materials of the mission to be met and the appendix of the directive without reading it.

Curly gray black hair, large scars on his face, wide shoulders and bulky forearms.

His appearance was literally close to that of a murder weapon.

His mouth was tightly shut, and there was no emotion in his gaze.

It was full of bleak feelings, but I blindly passed the gaze of the other person.

‘So what?’

Then, the expression in his eyes subtly changed.

Soon after, the man looked away and slowly opened his mouth.

It was a low-pitched voice that gripped the crowd.

“From the moment you enter Benderford, you lose all your identity and status. Everyone becomes the same student. Our instructors will treat you as just a student. Please keep this in mind.”

The tone was polite, but it didn’t feel like it was polite.

The reason was simple.

Because the content was just telling me not to mess around.

Besides, only a few students listened to it.

Most of them are still in shock.

‘Mister, can’t you see that this is a piece of shit right now? What are you going to do with this atmosphere?’

I crossed my arms and watched him silently.

Afterwards, the man conveyed a few things, but the content was nothing special.

All he said was that if he didn’t follow the school rules, he would be punished.

Judging from that guy’s momentum, if the prince or anything went wrong, it seemed like he’d smash his skull.

After a while, I could see why the middle-aged man’s liver was swollen.

“……So far. I am Hall Sivas, vice-chancellor of Benderford. Welcome again.”

Since the introduction was done at the very end, the impact was felt stronger.

‘Now I know who you are. How could I say such a thing in front of the prince?’

He was Benderford’s vice-chancellor, aka the emperor’s jagged blade.

As one of the most powerful people in the empire, there was a famous rumor that represented the image of Lee Ja.

It was a story that only works when there is a target to be destroyed by the emperor.

‘We made eye contact earlier, but you’re not trying to piss me off, are you?’

He stood still with his arms pressed against his self-suffocating body.

But suddenly, Hall Sivas’s eyes are heading back to me.

No, what are you looking at?

I’m innocent, sword of this evil emperor.

It felt ominous, but that did not avoid the vice-chancellor’s gaze.

‘Where is this law! As soon as he entered the school, the hot eyes of a middle-aged man.’

I screamed inwardly, but I didn’t know that Hall Sivas’ gaze would be taken away from me.

“You’ve worked hard. How come you had some good guys?”

Someone suddenly spoke to Hall Sivas, who had left the auditorium.

It was Jerome Klevitz, the dean of the Knights Faculty and the swordsmanship professor.

Although he had the grandiose title of Wings of Brilliant, he was quite polite in front of the emperor’s serrated sword.

It was probably because of his age and the level of Hall Sivas was much higher.

“Well…….”

However, the vice president’s expression was somehow complicated.

The plan to cover the boulder with something that shows momentum was a kind of test agreed upon by the entire faculty.

However, as Hall Sivas, who entered the auditorium directly, kept his mouth shut, Jerome Klevitz was frustrated.

Turning his eyes slightly, the faces of the other professors were the same as his own.

“Tell me something. I saw it from a distance, but wouldn’t the vice-chancellor’s judgment be the most accurate?”

When Jerome Klevitz asked a question, Hall Sivas only then nodded.

“I’m sure there are some outstanding people. The swordsman’s heir, the chancellor’s daughter, and the direct descendants of the 4 generations seem to be of good quality. The prince and his highness seem to have not neglected their training. But…”

“Are there any problems?”

The vice-chancellor recalled the black-haired young man standing with his arms crossed.

It was impressive to see a handsome face and a unique atmosphere flowing in a sleek yet solid body.

However, a person who did not exist at all in Hall Sivas’ memory.

He was probably from a local aristocratic family, or was a donated or recommended student.

“Do you remember the guy at the back?”

“Ah, you mean that donation student?”

“Looks like you know who it is.”

“Yes, I looked it up because I was standing alone. I’m the son of a merchant who works in the 4th subdivision. I have some money in my family, but I don’t have a title of nobility.”

Jerome Klevitz ran a quick sweep through his stiff blond hair and quickly flipped through the roster.

Eventually, he discovered the name Ray and showed it to his professors.

Compared to the other students, he was at a very low level.

“It seemed like there was something there, but… is it really a pearl in the soil?”

“Isn’t it because it’s far away? I’m standing at the very back.”

Hall Sivas mumbled, and Dean Jerome gave a negative opinion.

Common sense made no sense for a mere merchant’s son to stand shoulder to shoulder with the princes.

No matter how genius you are, if the environment doesn’t support it, you can’t bloom.

“It can’t be.”

But the vice-chancellor shook his head.

It was true that momentum would not be conveyed well if the distance was far.

However, the distance between him and him was less than 50 meters.

There was no way that the power of the momentum would be drastically weakened by just that much.

‘Besides… … . I put more pressure on him.’

The moment our eyes met, Hall Sivas gave off even more powerful momentum.

It’s for just one person.

However, Ray took the energy with a calm expression.

No, just resisting the momentum was not enough.

“It felt like there was no energy at all.”

“Yes? What do you mean by that all of a sudden?”

“Huh! Nope. There must have been a mistake.”

No matter how much he thought about it, the Vice-Chancellor couldn’t understand the phenomenon just now.

How can a mere 20-year-old completely ‘ignore’ his own momentum?

Even though it greatly increased its power in the end.

Upon seeing the unbelievable results, Hall Sivas dismissed it as just an illusion.

Isn’t this the historic moment when Benderford University was founded?

I had a lot of work to do, but I didn’t have to worry about one strange guy.

Besides, I was able to recognize his true nature while attending school.

“Are the preparations going well?”

Combat science professor Rupert responded to the Vice-Chancellor’s question.

Rupert was the vice-captain of the empire’s largest mercenary corps, Rogermond, and had a lot of practical experience.

“hehehehe! It’s perfect. Not a single person can return alive…”

Then tactical professor Clarence Warlock sighed and cut off his words as he entered.

Professor Clarence was a decent-looking middle-aged man who had served as the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Army.

“I’m sorry. I’ll adjust the difficulty to a reasonable level. If students die during the test, it will be difficult to deal with.”

“I see. Let’s all move. There is no time.”

The professors were already discussing the final exam.

Judging from the contents of the conversation, it seemed that they were preparing something unusual.

After the meeting, the professors scattered in different directions according to the order of the vice-president.

Eventually, Hall Sivas, who was left alone, looked around the auditorium building.

It was because the plain face of a student named Lay suddenly came to mind.

“I wonder what kind of guy he is.”
