The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 295

Chapter 295

The moment when magic enhancement was used, victory or defeat was decided even before swords crossed.

As soon as Reinhardt’s body was engulfed in blue magic flames, Scarlett lost the sword the next moment.

– Kaang!

Reinhardt’s sword, which rushed into it in an instant, bounced off Scarlett’s sword.

Most weapon skills are designed to deal with opponents of their own class. Therefore, a fight between those who have entered the stage of superhuman and those who are not can not be established because of the problem of weight class itself, not skill.

loss of weapons.

out of battle soon.

-The 3rd set is Reinhardt’s victory!

The third set ended with the emcee’s shout.

“What kind of situation is this?”

Olivia didn’t seem to understand. He didn’t know that Reinhardt could use magic enhancement only with the help of autosuggestion. It just seems like he hadn’t deliberately used magic power up until now.

Only Ellen and Scarlett know that in this place.

In the audience, only Ellen could accurately grasp what kind of growth Reinhardt had achieved in this short moment.

Ellen unknowingly clenched her fists.

‘Reinhardt… … .’

Reinhardt took it to the next level. No one else could know, but Ellen knew all too well what a big step forward it was.

I’m so happy about that.

Ellen didn’t know what to do, holding back the desire to get up and run to Reinhardt.

Aside from Ellen’s excitement and the audience’s dumbfoundedness, the game goes on anyway.

The win/loss ratio is 2:1.

Even if Reinhardt succeeded in strengthening his magical power without the help of superpowers, it would be no different that it was a double-edged sword.

From now on, you can’t use the two sets of psychic powers, so you have to defeat Scarlett only with magical power enhancement.

But if that happens, will we be able to properly play the remaining finals?

Although the crisis was over, it was inevitable that the victory would become uncertain.

-Now, let’s start the 4th set… … .

But in a situation where Scarlett and Reinhardt are facing each other. Suddenly, Scarlett raised her hand.

-Yes, what happened… … . ah.

The emcee’s embarrassed voice echoed through the stadium.

-Royal Class 1st year Scarlet declared withdrawal.

abstention.

Not only the audience but also Reinhardt, the opponent, was greatly taken aback by the sudden declaration.

* * *

Waiting room.

‘Reinhardt has to win. I can’t put more effort here.’

Scarlett left those words and withdrew.

It seemed that he was already satisfied.

Scarlett wanted to see me not giving up. My reaction when my superpower, my most powerful power and means, is neutralized.

Scarlett wanted me to get over it somehow. You always showed something and never gave up, so I hope you do the same this time.

I somehow reciprocated the coercion, not the coercion.

That was Scarlett’s purpose in the first place.

The moment I succeeded in strengthening my magical powers and subdued myself without the help of psychic powers, Scarlett stopped testing me.

Had the set continued, the outcome would have been unclear.

very fleeting

It was magical power enhancement that was activated for a while, but it was used without the aid of psychic powers.

My fingertips were tingling and a grotesque pain permeated my whole body, as if my muscles were being torn.

It is a power that cannot be used for a long time even with the assistance of autosuggestion, but since it was used without assistance, it was inevitable that the body would be overloaded more severely.

Scarlett was able to defeat me. But in the end, after seeing the results he wanted, he gave up.

this way

I didn’t want to, but in the end, Scarlett entered the tournament to take me to the next level.

Hit with all your might What you can’t do in practice matches becomes possible in this stadium.

The audience was agitated, but I returned to the waiting room, and Scarlett went back with the words to win.

It was a gaze that felt uncomfortable yet somehow responsible for being forced to expect. If I had been an ordinary person, if I had been Reinhardt as usual, I would have told him not to talk nonsense.

However, Scarlett had a sense of debt in many ways, so she couldn’t say anything.

Ludwig and Gladen Amorel were away to prepare for the next game.

That’s why I was the only one in the waiting room with freshmen, and I was the only one occupying the audience.

Whoever comes up can use autosuggestion this time. My biggest unexpected adversary, Scarlett, gave up when I showed her what she expected.

Perhaps only Ellen in the audience noticed my change.

It’s been a year since the side of me nagged me to try strengthening my magic power and whimpered that I couldn’t do it.

However, this time, he succeeded in strengthening his magical powers without assistance from supernatural powers.

… … would you like to praise

what?

Do I look like a kid who can’t wait to be praised by the teacher for doing something good?

No, since Ellen is also my teacher, isn’t it very different?

In any case, I was left alone in the waiting room.

I sat down to watch the semi-final match where the final opponent would be decided while continuing to make self-suggestions so that I could get back in shape.

how long has it been

-Now, the second match of the semi-finals of the 1st year tournament will begin soon!

Ludwig and Gladen Amorel were stepping onto the pitch.

In the original story, Ludwig can’t take a single set to Glaiden Amorel.

Ellen doesn’t give a single set to such Gladen Amorel.

However, Ludwig became stronger than in the original.

Still can’t win. That guy is next to Ellen and me at this point. If you wake up to magical power enhancement, you’ll climb on top of me right away. Scarlett is a bit of a special case, so let’s make an exception.

Will can’t be strength right away.

I also felt a sense of incongruity when I realized that the power I wanted did not dwell in my body the moment my self-suggestion was neutralized.

That’s how I got used to my own psychic powers.

That’s why I realized again how ridiculous it is to bring strength through faith that doesn’t answer originally.

But Ludwig decided not to say the word lose anymore.

The screen shows Ludwig’s face.

Ludwig always has a smile on his face and a nice, kind expression.

The boy’s face turned cold.

It was a first look.

* * *

Gladen Amorel.

Orbis class 1st grade A-1, and compared to the royal class, he had no inferiority at all. That’s why it was a strong next-generation prospect in the Orbis class.

You can.

If you are, you can defeat the royal class bastards. Just do it like now. just like now No, I can work a little harder.

I heard those words so much that it stuck in my ears.

He has done what he was told to do and what he had to do more perfectly than anyone else.

Gladen Amorel.

A person who thought it was something he had to endure in the spirit of forced improvement, but found out that the place was hell and got out of there.

Gladen Amorel found laughter and relaxation.

Realizing that there was no reason to live a forced life, Gladen Amorel was now kinder and kinder to others than before.

Because I no longer live with the feeling that someone is chasing me from behind.

But that doesn’t mean I’m lazy. As for my skills, I feel that I have improved a little more by concentrating on the training I want to do in a state where I somehow found some room.

Satisfaction from voluntary training.

That’s why Gladen Amorel’s personality changed, but his skills didn’t deteriorate. No, it is safe to say that we have made progress.

Those who hadn’t laughed at all got their smiles back.

but relative.

Royal Class B-11 Ludwig.

There was no smile on Ludwig’s face, who was good-natured, kind, and kind to everyone. As if you were prepared for something.

It’s like putting up a wall behind you and thinking that if you reach it, everything is over.

Ludwig, who had lost his smile, was aiming his sword at Gladen Amorel.

The reversed sides are pointing their swords at each other.

Gladden Amorel speaks to Ludwig.

“Looks like you made up your mind.”

“… … .”

Ludwig, who was silent for a while, opened his mouth to Glaiden Amorel with a still firm expression.

“I am the lowest in the royal class. My talent will be enough to enter the royal class, but it will be regarded as the most insignificant talent there.”

“… … What are your talents?”

“health.”

Normally, he would smile like an idiot and scratch his head, but now Ludwig was speaking calmly with a firm expression.

“However, there was a friend who entered class A without a single talent called infinite aptitude. Even in B class, there was a lot of talk. Isn’t that what class B class 11 is supposed to do? Of course I didn’t think so.”

“But the point is that he really had nothing. He didn’t even have the slightest advantage of stamina like me.”

“But he could be weak, but he wasn’t weak. I can’t say it was a good thing, but he didn’t back down from all the bad things he went through. No matter how much I fell, no matter how much I fell, I got up again. At that point, I might as well give up. It would be right to give up. Even in moments like that, it always comes back up.”

Gladden Amorel seemed to know who Ludwig was talking about.

“I am the opposite.”

“let’s work hard. anything. If you work hard, you will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with classmates who have great talent even if you are behind right now. I believed so.”

“I was living with a loser’s mindset.”

always promise later

I have been thinking too objectively of myself now. I’m not into him yet. I am still less than him. So let’s work hard. It’s still pushed, but someday you’ll be able to stand side by side.

I can’t help it now.

“But he always bumped into me even though he knew he couldn’t. While colliding, falling, and getting hurt, I couldn’t win, but I believed that I could win. I spent this year making unreasonable and reckless attempts.”

“Now I am much weaker than that friend.”

“Obviously I would have been stronger than that friend originally. But while I rationalized a lot of other things with just the thought of working hard, that friend overtook me and went far away.”

“While hiding behind an excuse for me and saying that it was okay because I was working hard, that friend challenged and bumped into an impossible task. It was a bad thing, but believing that it could be done.”

“okay. I admire Reinhardt.”

“Catching up on this street that has already been caught up.”

“I think that’s what I have to do from now on.”

“I can’t, but. believing that it should be I decided to do that. Because Reinhardt said you should at least believe that.”

“I will not hide behind the excuse that I am working hard now. Because that thought alone will be like this.”

Ludwig looked at Gladen Amorel with his sword in his hand.

Ludwig, the last in class B who accepted reality and gave up under the name of hard work and guts, is no longer there.

It changes.

Now I do not comfort myself by saying that I will work hard.

Not to work hard, but to do well.

Not to do your best, but to win.

“therefore.”

At all the results that didn’t go well, you scratch yourself at the back of your head, saying that things will get better later.

throw it away now

Will cannot be strength.

However, only one person in the world knows the truth of this world.

Will cannot be power, but Ludwig is the protagonist of this world.

causal nucleus.

The main character can change his original will into power.

such a protagonist.

Ludwig declares.

“I am.”

“you.”

“Win.”

The world is always on his side.

* * *

What is that bastard?

I couldn’t help but doubt my eyes at the results of the quarterfinals.

It was a complete victory for Ludwig with 3:0.

It seemed like they were having a conversation, but when the duel started, a completely different situation unfolded from what I had imagined.

Ludwig’s sword drove Gladen Amorel with overwhelming power.

I didn’t even use magical power enhancement.

It’s not like using superpowers.

Ludwig counterbalanced all the swords that Glaiden Amorel held out with only the strength of his body and stabbed him in reverse.

Huge weight difference.

Ludwig did what could only be done with magical power enhancement.

The people in the audience were also staring blankly at Ludwig, who had completely defeated Gladen Amorel with monstrous power.

-Wow!

Those who don’t know the situation are excited about the overwhelming and tremendous fight itself, but I was dumbfounded.

That is not the speed and reaction that can be achieved without magical power enhancement.

I don’t know what he did, but Ludwig has changed.

It’s this much without mana enhancement, but it’s clear that he’ll become even more crazy if he does.

I could at least know that my words from yesterday resonated with Ludwig.

Will cannot be strength. Except for me, who has the power of self-suggestion and linguistic spirit.

I saw Ludwig with a firm expression standing tall amidst the cheers of the people.

I realized what I was overlooking.

Saviolin Tana, the current strongest player in the world.

The next strongest person in the world, Ellen.

Olivia Ranze, another worldview strongest candidate who survived even though she had to die.

Harriet de Saintoine, one of the most talented wizards in the history of magic.

And with the talent of infinite aptitude, I recorded an enormous growth in one year.

What do you mean by that?

-Wow!

After all, the main character is Ludwig.

The protagonist can transform will into power. It is made to produce incredible power by replacing anger with sadness, revenge, and desire with power. If there is no reason, the world lends its strength according to Ludwig’s wish, even if it is made.

Strength in situations where strength is needed.

Giyeon in a situation that needs a gigeon.

the power i have

Autosuggestion is, after all, a deterioration of Ludwig’s power.

The power to transform will into force originally belonged to Ludwig.

This world is made for the protagonist and Ludwig will have everything he needs.

Ludwig looks somewhere.

Look straight into the inside bleachers.

I look down at Ludwig through the window.

Ludwig looks up at me.

The guy who wanted to meet me in the finals actually met me in the finals.

* * *

Nothing worked out the way I thought.

Nothing was easy, as if believing that the 10,000 achievement point challenge would be easy to achieve was foolish in the first place.

I struggled and lost to Scarlett, who I hadn’t considered much, but I advanced to the final due to her withdrawal.

Gladen Amorel was pushed back by an overwhelming gap to Ludwig.

If we work hard, we will be able to reach you someday.

Ludwig, who believed so, abandoned his weakness.

It is completely different from the original development, so it is now impossible to predict and the situation has become meaningless.

It wasn’t that he had awakened to strengthen his magical powers, nor was he using superpowers.

just the main character

With that one advantage, Ludwig became stronger.

After a short break, the final stage begins.

The physical condition is not at its peak. But that doesn’t mean it’s seriously bad.

If you use autosuggestion, you will be able to face Ludwig, and if you use magical power enhancement, you will be able to overwhelm him.

However, it is not known whether it will be possible until the 3rd set.

If I don’t properly adjust my pace, I will face the pitiful situation of losing not because I lost to Ludwig, but because I failed to control my condition.

-The long-awaited final stage is about to begin! A confrontation between the royal class A class and B class!

You’re avoiding the word “battle between the last in number.”

Ludwig and I were facing each other while the moderator gave a speech. His face, which had been smiling and laughing, had hardened.

Now I’m just putting on a face I like.

Ludwig, who lacked sincerity, became serious.

“Did it have any effect?”

“… … I think so.”

Ludwig also seemed a little hard to believe what had happened to him. Ludwig looks at me quietly.

“Can I follow you?”

“I haven’t learned yet. kid.”

Holding the sword, I smile at Ludwig.

“I mean, think you can follow. No, think you can step on someone like you and stand on top.”

“haha… … . okay. right. It was like that.”

Ludwig smiles and looks at me. But it wasn’t the clumsy smile he had shown so far.

“But it is strange. Certainly, Reinhardt, you are strong, but there are many people stronger than you… … .”

Ludwig sighs while holding the sword.

“At some point… … . It’s not going well.”

“what?”

“That I beat you.”

The smile disappears from Ludwig’s face again.

“I can’t quite imagine that.”

When I heard that expression on Ludwig’s expression, I could tell.

Because there is only one existence that I think so.

The guy who will be looking at me from the audience.

There are many people who are stronger than him, and there are many people who are better than him.

but. I can’t picture myself beating Ellen Artorius. Ellen always looks the same, looks down at me from a farther distance than I do, and seems to be teaching me swordsmanship.

In the original story, Ellen was like that to Ludwig.

A wall you can’t follow no matter how hard you try. An existence that must always be looked up to.

Looking at Ellen now has become my role.

“You’ve grown so fast that no matter how much I follow you, I think you’ll be far ahead of me.”

It has to be.

Ellen had already entered in a strong state, but I started in a state inferior to Ludwig and far surpassed him.

That’s why Ludwig has no choice but to focus on me rather than Ellen.

I can’t help but wonder why I can’t be like Reinhardt.

Ludwig was feeling the wall against me, not Ellen, and had no choice but to target me.

Ellen may be stronger than me, but Ludwig’s goal is bound to be to overtake me.

An insurmountable wall.

To Ludwig, the wall became me, not Ellen.

Ellen’s place in the original work is now taken by me.

-The long-awaited finals of the 1st grade tournament! Let’s get started right now!

The protagonist’s eternal rival and admiration.

Is that my role in this world?

“I don’t think so, but I’ll believe it anyway.”

Ludwig takes a deep breath.

“I can beat you.”

As I hold the sword Meet Ludwig.

There was only one thing he taught Ludwig.

Make a promise to win, not an excuse prepared for defeat.

It’s not a big deal, but it’s what I was taught after all.

“no.”

And that’s my specialty.

“You can’t beat me.”

Ludwig looks at me and says.

“I am.”

I also look at Ludwig and say.

“I am.”

And we look at each other and talk at the same time.

“You. I win.”

-Kureung!

My body was covered with blue magic power, and Ludwig stepped on the advance and jumped at me.

– Kwakang!

The moment swords collided, each other’s swords shattered as if they had promised each other.
