The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 296

Chapter 296

The sword is broken.

But neither I nor Ludwig were taken aback. As if he knew it, Ludwig tried to strike me in the head with the pommel of his broken sword.

“Suck!”

strengthening power.

give it right

I thrust my fist into Ludwig’s abdomen, allowing my head.

– Bahak!

-puck!

“Quit!”

“Suck!”

Ludwig, who had been hit in the stomach by a terrifying blow to the head, rolled several times on the floor and stood up. Armed with each other broke. There is no time to replenish.

Both Ludwig and I threw away the broken sword.

Ludwig rushes in and the longer I maintain the magic power, the harder the next set becomes, so I had to finish it quickly.

As soon as Ludwig gets up after falling down, he rushes over and aims for the grounding.

After knocking it down with a tackle, it was pounded.

That is what we are aiming for at this point.

-thud!

Ludwig jumped at me and fell to the floor.

This moment is already over.

moment to think.

The moment he fell, he grabbed me by the waist and threw me over.

Enhancing magical power provides protection, but does not increase the weight itself.

-thud!

In an instant, he lost his balance and flew backwards.

crazy guy

Even though he hadn’t even strengthened his magic power, his physical strength was already out of the range of a normal person.

That’s a monster worse than me.

I have unstable holding power.

Although lacking in physical strength, Ludwig is ahead of him in terms of retention.

I don’t know what kind of changes have occurred to that guy’s body, but I can’t deal with him without self-suggestion and magical power enhancement.

i win

I didn’t think I’d stand in the position of a rival, but I shouldn’t come down as easily as I already have.

Just as in the original story, Ellen’s existence alone was the driving force behind Ludwig’s growth.

I am also a growth engine that makes Ludwig stronger just by being there.

Even starting from the bottom, I stimulate Ludwig’s feeble jealousy and inferiority complex.

The stronger I get, the faster Ludwig gets stronger.

I can’t lose to you

You will become stronger only when I am the wall that always exists above you.

The protagonist must be strong.

One day you will be stronger than me, but now I must be stronger than you.

Because that’s a rival.

so i can’t

Now I’m seriously dealing with the guy I created but was subtly unlucky and always avoided.

Since he seriously considers me a rival, I have no choice but to accept that thought.

The one who wins last is the winner.

You must lose to me now.

I’ll give up the final victory, so you’ll have to lose to me from now on.

To do that, I believe that I can’t lose and at the same time believe that I can’t lose.

“You can’t beat me.”

I declare that I will never lose.

“Suck!”

When I rushed at Ludwig and punched him, he avoided my outstretched arm with a nod of his head and grabbed my arm to throw me over.

But as he ran into the pull, I raised my knee and slapped Ludwig on the chin.

– Pleasant!

“Kuk!”

Ludwig, who had been hit in the jaw by a knee, fell down.

It’s normal to lose consciousness, but Ludwig rolled a few times and got up.

I could see red blood flowing from Ludwig’s gums.

Doesn’t even show pain. He is a guy who has no choice but to admit his guts. Of course, it is only in this situation that pain is bound to be felt relatively less.

can’t lose

Unexpected variables in this tournament, which I entered for the purpose of achievement points, changed my purpose.

Scarlett and Ludwig, who were simply competitors, were each meaning me in different ways.

I thought that there was no point of contact, but as a result of my actions so far, these guys regarded me in different ways, but in the end, they were similar.

Scarlett idolized me.

Ludwig wanted to catch up with me, but he felt it was a wall he could never catch up to.

So, I will give you an overwhelming victory.

I have to do that for the growth of that weirdo who wants to jump over the wall he can’t climb.

So show me.

Ludwig, red-lipped and stained with blood, charges towards me.

I’ve made this world so that the world is on your side, but I still have more.

self suggestive.

language.

strengthening power.

and feeling down.

And even a training partner named Ellen.

Under all conditions, Ludwig has to follow me, but he cannot follow me.

so trample it

At this moment, the biggest weapon is not magical power or superpower, but my sense of humor.

read with enthusiasm

To run is to take an action that shifts the center of gravity forward.

Timing is what matters.

If you read which step to attack and how to enter, you can insert a counter.

It’s important to know which foot you put your strength into, but more importantly, your shoulders. Looking at the shoulder, you can predict the movement of the arm. If you are skilled in martial arts, you can stretch your fist without moving your shoulders, but Ludwig and I are not at that level.

If the waist moves rather than the arms, you can guess that it will attack using the feet.

In the end, there is not much difference in the movement using the sword. Every action has a starting point and it must come from the body.

The running Ludwig’s right shoulder falls back.

The slight pull back of the right shoulder means that the right arm is about to reach out to me.

If that’s the case, it must be his intention to use his left foot as an axis and drive his right fist into my face.

It looked so accurate.

There are many ways.

You can either hit Ludwig’s face deeply with your left fist while letting go of your right fist, or you can use the thrusting power of your right arm as a weapon to hit him.

The moment you read out what kind of attack will come, it’s no different than winning or losing.

I neither parried nor repelled the attack.

Even before Ludwig stepped out with his left foot and took an attacking stance.

I rather take a step forward.

Knowing that the moment Ludwig’s charging left foot steps off the ground, his right shoulder will move with that left foot as an axis.

I poke a point ahead of the timing.

The moment before the attack begins.

– Pleasant!

I kicked him in the hamstring just before his left foot hit the floor.

“Keugh!”

As a result, it became as if he rushed to be kicked by me.

The damage is even greater because it happened in an unprepared situation.

Ludwig tumbled to the floor and couldn’t get up this time. It was a perfect counter that included magical power enhancement and self-reinforcement power.

It’s strange what happens.

– First set! Since Ludwig-kun was judged incapable of fighting, Reinhardt-kun wins by decision!

Ludwig couldn’t even wake up.

“Ugh… … .”

Ludwig collapsed and looked up at me as the priests ran to heal him.

It was like looking at an incomprehensible being.

In fact, I only saw Ludwig rushing at me and knocked him down with a single accurate shot.

read perfectly. No matter what you do in the future, you will eventually read it.

How the hell am I supposed to defeat an opponent like that?

It was the look on his face that made him think.

My quality of feeling was giving me excessive efficiency. Of all the things I’ve been through, I wonder if it’s because it’s the power I received in return for going through the most dangerous thing.

I was smiling.

“Didn’t you say you couldn’t win?”

“… … .”

Not yet.

I swallowed that afterword.

I felt like a villain.

No, actually the villain is right. I am the Demon King, and Ludwig is the second human hero after Lagan Artorius.

A hero who is always defeated by the Demon King.

But wouldn’t it be possible to catch up with the devil someday and implement justice?

It seemed that the overly perfect picture foreshadowed my downfall that I would one day face.

After being treated by the priests, Ludwig stands up.

“let’s try again. Reinhardt.”

It was an expression of wondering if it was right to make an incomprehensible opponent a rival, but Ludwig did not give up.

“There won’t be much of a difference.”

“But you have to do it to know.”

No matter how many times he falls, he will rise again.

We will constantly bump into each other without giving up.

I’ve always been the egg breaking rock, but this guy is throwing eggs until the rock breaks.

I don’t think I’m superior to Ludwig.

A person who has never been broken, a person who stands up again even after being broken hundreds of thousands of times.

Ludwig will be greater than anything like me.

But greatness cannot buy victory.

Right now I am stronger and Ludwig cannot cross this gap.

-Set score is 1:0! Reinhardt took the first set! Now, the 2nd set of the 1st year tournament finals! Start right now!

– Wow!

Ludwig and I were given supplementary weapons amid the shouts we had grown accustomed to in just two days.

Sword this time.

Is there a difference between a fist and a sword?

There were no more surprises in this year 1 tournament that was already overflowing with surprises.

I took a landslide victory in two sets in a row.

So I won

* * *

I’m technically behind most close combat students, but I’m superior to Ludwig.

That’s why, no matter how much his physical strength improved, I was ahead of him thanks to the strengthening of his magic power, and his movements were too easy to read.

It was a fight that made no sense in the first place for me to give up even one set. Ludwig’s only chance of winning was that I would exhaust myself with excessive use of magic enhancement, but that situation did not come.

Due to my victory in the finals, the 1st and 2nd places were confirmed, and the 3rd and 4th place matches were held between Scarlett and Gladen Amorell.

The result is Gladen Amorel’s victory.

That’s how the first year tournament ended.

I never thought the moment in my life when I would hold a trophy in my hands would come like this.

[Challenge Achievement – Year 1 Tournament Winning]

[Acquired 10000 Achievement Points.] This

is the first time I have scored so many points in one go.

People cheered me on.

“Can I catch up with you?”

There was no despair on Ludwig’s expression after he was completely defeated, but he seemed to feel such doubts.

“You know what I’m talking about?”

“… … okay.”

Ludwig smiles at me.

“You mean we have to believe we can catch up?”

“no.”

I crossed my arms while holding the championship trophy.

“It’s not at the level of believing, but of course you have to think that it happens.”

“Oh right. It did?”

how

It seems like the main character has joined my cult of self-suggestion. Ludwig, who holds the 2nd place trophy, speaks.

“I can catch up with you. Reinhardt.”

“You mean no?”

It is a strange religion that does not agree with the fact that you believe that the future you have set is true.

We believe in the future that each of us has decided.

In the end, although Ludwig and I were fundamentally different, we had similar powers.

Some strange things happened while I was trying to earn achievement points, but my plan didn’t go too far.

i won

On that day, Ellen was watching from afar.

He said he would scold me if he didn’t win.

because you won

Do you praise me then?
