The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 294

Chapter 294

– Wow!

There were cheers in the audience, but some of the spectators who had been watching the tournament since yesterday were bewildered.

“what! Why did Reinhardt lose!”

Olivia Ranze yelled out as if she didn’t understand.

The Royal Class side was mostly like that. Even the B class was like that.

Reinhardt, who had been on an undefeated streak, was embarrassed by Scarlett and repeatedly retreated, only to be pushed back and conceded the first set.

Not only did he not use magic power enhancement, he was helplessly pushed aside. Of course, it is true that Scarlett’s swordsmanship was splendid and quick, and accurately penetrated the gaps.

Reinhardt was strangely powerless.

Everyone in this room knew things were going a little weird, but they didn’t know what specifically was weird.

“I can’t use my psychic powers.”

Except for Ellen.

“… … what?”

“I can’t use my psychic powers.”

Other people may not know, but Ellen knows.

Ellen knew everything about Reinhardt’s sword because she shared swords with Reinhardt to the point where she was sick of it. When to use psychic powers and when not to use them, and until the power of temporary enhancement is used while using psychic powers. Ellen knew everything in detail.

That’s why, for some reason, Ellen could see that Reinhardt couldn’t use the power of autosuggestion at all.

“Why can’t I use it?”

“I don’t know.”

It was Harriet who opened up to Ellen’s words.

“that… … . As far as I know, his ability is immunity. Could it have something to do with that?”

Ellen was not very interested in Class B’s work, but Harriet knew about it because of the Magic Research Society. A very unique talent called immunity, but very powerful depending on the situation.

Saying that it might be exerting its power, Ellen nodded.

“So you’re saying that Reinhardt can’t use his psychic powers… … .”

“What is that! Reinhardt has psychic powers, so if you don’t use them, it’s a foul!”

Olivia huffed, and everyone didn’t say that psychic powers were already cheating enough.

Because I now know that that senior who is on Reinhardt’s side to the point of being bizarre is a great person who will defend Reinhardt no matter what he does, even if it means adding a reason.

It’s a tired man to say the least, so it’s best to just let him run amok by himself.

One conclusion.

A strange talent named Immunity.

That was exerting an absolute influence on Reinhardt.

Saviolin Tana, who heard the story, was looking at Reinhardt, who had been summoned to the arena for the second set.

Charlotte was watching Scarlett and Reinhardt.

Scarlett Reinhardt.

Both have different meanings to themselves, but they are precious people.

They are the ones who feel sorry for the other side when their hearts lean to one side.

But this time the opponent is bad.

“How will it be?”

Saviolin Tana shook her head at Charlotte’s question.

“It must be difficult for Reinhardt.”

Saviolin Tana didn’t know much about Reinhardt’s psychic powers, but as a result, if he couldn’t use magical power enhancement, the victory or defeat was clear.

‘Even if I summon Tiamata.’

But that’s something that can’t be easily shown.

Saviolin Tana predicts Reinhardt’s defeat.

If they had met Scarlett in the finals, they could have won the runner-up, or if Scarlett had fallen in another group in the semifinals, they could have won the championship.

As a result.

Reinhardt had very bad luck.

* * *

I had no choice but to hand over the next set, similar to the first one.

-Current set score 2:0! If Scarlett takes one more set, Scarlett is guaranteed to advance to the finals!

The host’s voice rang in my ears ferociously.

The screen alternately reflected the calm Scarlett and the tense me. Scarlett said she would do her best and was doing so.

Even in the practice sparring, I did my best while using my strength to the maximum.

Scarlett has been dealing with me without using her powers until now.

Scarlett does her best here to show her respect or respect for me.

The words “It’s okay if I look at you” rose up to my throat, but it didn’t come out of my mouth. I have my abilities and Scarlett has Scarlett’s abilities.

They just use each other.

Scarlett doesn’t laugh at me or worry about me when I’m losing so badly.

I’m your idol

I’m weak in front of you, so why am I your idol?

Of course, I know I’m not talking about skill, but in front of Scarlett’s expressionless expression, I couldn’t find a way to break through her.

In the first place, he was using a tool called supernatural ability to jump over opponents with a wide gap in skill.

With those tools unavailable, there was no chance of me overpowering Scarlett.

He hadn’t thought that he would be blocked in front of Scarlett.

I never considered the possibility that Scarlett’s talent might block my psychic powers. That kind of thing was impossible in the original, so I thought it couldn’t be possible here.

Taking Liana as an example, in the original work, if Liana’s lightning strikes Scarlett, it does not harm Scarlett.

Right now, Liana wouldn’t even be able to activate the electric shock in front of Scarlett.

I had to admit it.

I was arrogant.

I thought of the final after Scarlett, not Scarlett.

However, in reality, I had to accept defeat after giving up two sets because I struggled here.

There is no way to win.

After all, psychic powers were most of me. In the case of Scarlett, the compatibility was bad.

What you need to be relieved of is that there is only one Scarlett in the world with that level of immunity.

The moment you ponder whether you should accept the price of arrogance in the name of defeat.

“Are you giving up?”

The start of the 3rd set has already been announced, but Scarlett does not approach and asks.

“… … .”

“Is this because I just lived by believing in the psychic power that opened my eyes in the end? Are you saying that you’re an incompetent and shabby person who can’t do anything other than strengthening your magical powers without psychic powers?”

Scarlett quietly says so. Is that something that insults me?

Are you mocking me as a dog that runs away with its tail curled up because there is no corner to trust me?

It didn’t sound like it.

“It is not.”

Scarlett pointed her sword at me and said.

“When you fight with the third year, knowing that no one will help you, but knowing that you will be in worse shape when you wake up, you keep going… … . You kept getting up.”

Scarlett takes a step towards me.

“I remember the look in your eyes back then.”

What was I thinking then?

It was a long time ago so I don’t remember very well. However, there are cases where others remember better what I went through.

Scarlett seemed to be like that.

It was a strong memory for me, but it seemed to be even more intense for Scarlett.

In a situation where there was no rattle and nothing, and everyone only wanted my defeat, I got up and got up, beat, flew, and fell down, but I kept getting up.

My side was nowhere.

Still, I finally got up and gave Meiaton a shot, eventually awakening my supernatural powers.

The eyes at that time, of course, are mine, so I don’t know.

But Scarlett remembered.

“Show me those eyes again.”

Scarlett slowly walks towards me.

It comes not to hold my hand, but to point a sword at me.

Emotions are bound to come and go unbalanced between the two.

Scarlett is not important to me, but I am to Scarlett. I didn’t do anything for Scarlett, but Scarlett took something from me. Through the meaning of it and the effort to change, I became a different person and had different abilities.

That’s why Scarlett calls me her idol.

Scarlett doesn’t want me to give up here.

He didn’t want to see his idol run away with his tail tied up just because his psychic powers were sealed.

like back then

I want to see you grit your teeth and get up and do something.

Scarlett doesn’t know me. It just idolizes me. In idolization, Scarlett has a look she wants from me, and that is different from the real me.

Deification in a sense that I defined myself by expanding certain parts of myself.

Scarlett wants something from me.

There is no reason why I have to make that wish come true.

this is compulsion

you can do it

So show me.

Show me that you are no match for me.

In Scarlett’s calm and serene eyes, I see some intense desire he wishes for me.

Someone who wants to remain in front of me as a greater person who will forever remain my hero… … .

Obsession.

The painful experiences of childhood twist a person. Scarlett is no exception.

Scarlett was twisted by memories of wandering the streets and bullying at the temple. Although he got out of the mire, he would have had no choice but to surrender himself to a new twist.

Scarlett found salvation in me, not in Charlotte.

That’s why the country that has found salvation wants the existence to stick to my way of life.

Just like I always did, even though I knew it couldn’t work.

This time, he wants himself to become my ordeal and overcome even this.

Now that the powerful means of psychic power has been neutralized, I am not much different from the situation in Mayaton in the first semester.

Scarlett made me into a reckless fool in the first semester.

like trying to overcome it.

What if I lose, if I can’t find the answer.

Will Scarlett disappoint me?

If you’re disappointed, what’s next?

Are you desperate to know that I can no longer be your idol?

There is no reason why I should be responsible for all those feelings. Scarlett idolizes me arbitrarily and only tests me.

However, I only learned the real reason Scarlett participated in the tournament.

It wasn’t for proof.

It was for a completely different reason from the original.

Scarlett entered the tournament to prove me, not herself.

Because he knew he was his greatest nemesis, he entered because he wanted to see me surpass him.

You can’t make all those wishes come true, and there’s no reason you should.

I never said I wanted to be your idol, and there’s no reason I should.

Scarlett is no better.

He didn’t get better, he changed.

It’s just that the guy who lived a twisted life met me and twisted it in a different way.

Scarlett.

I couldn’t always face that guy comfortably.

Even thinking about being bullied for having red hair and red eyes, I am a victim of a strange setting.

Every time we met, I felt uncomfortable and strange because the mistake I made seemed to be going around in reality. So when Charlotte protected Scarlett, the guilt was relieved a little.

somehow it’s been solved

I felt a strange sense of guilt and relief, as if someone else had corrected my mistake.

Didn’t I want someone to solve the problem instead of me, thinking that I couldn’t ruin the development of the original? Maybe he just let it go even though he knew it was an evasion of responsibility.

But Scarlett actually found the answer from me, not from Charlotte.

I don’t know what will happen if Scarlett can’t idolize me anymore. But Scarlett, who made me her idol, tries to get along with everyone and be proud of herself.

Any problems caused by idolizing me only happen to me.

He may force things on me, he may have arbitrary expectations of me, and he may be disappointed in me.

then.

That would be the price I deserve to pay for creating your misfortune.

“Yes, Scarlett.”

Rather, it cleared my head.

I grabbed my sword and aimed at Scarlett, who was approaching step by step.

Autosuggestion does not respond.

“I don’t know what you want from me.”

However, the experience has not disappeared.

The answer is only there.

“I will show you more than that.”

strengthening power.

It has to be done in a situation where there is not even the aid of self-suggestion.

You may get hurt and you may get injured.

If you fall down, there is no victory.

But it’s okay. A classmate who calls me his idol, is too late to fix it, and wants to live a good life in a broken state.

He was the one who lived only the misfortunes I described.

I can’t fix it, but so that I can live even when it’s broken.

can do that much.

I don’t feel it, but I have felt it.

It seems impossible, but I have done it.

It’s like changing from a quad bike to a two-wheeled bike.

I won’t be able to ride it for a while, but I will fall.

While believing that I could go a little bit.

It doesn’t generate as much power as faith, but isn’t faith like that in the first place?

It’s rather strange that the power has been generated as you believe.

Originally, faith is just an echo without an answer.

Therefore, like all human beings, I believe while returning to the state of original belief.

I can do it.

I’ve used the power that flows through my body once, so there’s no reason I can’t do it this time.

Things I feel I move little by little.

Scarlett watches over me.

-Uuuuung

The feeling of exhilaration that seeped through my whole body was a completely new sensation.

Without the aid of self-suggestion, I now truly enter the path of superman.

“… … You did it.”

“okay.”

It was only that I had become stronger, but Scarlett was more happy than she was.

you are broken

like everyone else in the world

As if all the bad things you’ve been through are my responsibility.

If you’ve overcome all your problems by idolizing me, if I’m always in front of you so you can live like this now.

“Goes.”

I will forever remain your idol.
