The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 314

Chapter 314

Friday.

Today we have the Miss Temple Contest and Unlimited Weight Tournament Finals.

Olivia Ranze must be very busy as both have to attend. The Royal Class first-years didn’t seem to be interested in the unlimited level tournament starting from the semifinals as their classmates weren’t participating anymore.

Ellen Lianna and Cliffman seemed busy preparing for the contest.

However, Ellen met me in the morning and looked at me quietly.

“today… … .”

I know what to say.

“Aren’t you going?”

“… … huh.”

Ellen also watched all of my tournament matches. Of course, even if that’s not the case, there’s no reason not to go to the Miss Temple contest today.

I still don’t know what to do with Miss Temple, even though I’ve made only Cliff into Mr. Temple with a revision.

There’s no reason I won’t go to the contest. Ellen looks at me with a resolute expression, as if she was determined.

“… … Please come.”

“Yes, prepare well.”

“huh.”

After the contest is over, do you have something to say?

It was a look that made me feel that way.

Ellen left those words and went somewhere with Riana to get ready.

It seems that the other guys are going to enjoy the festival on their own, but I decided to move alone during the week.

without anyone accompany them.

Now, away from the attention of his classmates, he decided to go see the finals of the no-limits tournament. Of course, there will be guys out there who will go see it, but I still plan to go alone.

There were many things I felt sorry for Olivia. He always takes care of me and does anything for me, but he always treats me badly. Yesterday, I openly cheered for Harriet.

Just because you’re good at anything doesn’t mean you’re steadfast in anything.

I don’t know if there are guys who go to the finals separately, but I was going to the unrestricted tournament finals without going with anyone.

Considering that it is a game that starts with the quarterfinals, the third round is the end. So, even if you didn’t sit for a long time and even watched the finals, the time was bound to be quite short.

-Wowaaaaa!

The cheers of the people were great.

It didn’t change the fact that Harriet lost.

However, just because the results were the same as my thoughts did not mean that the process was also similar to my thoughts.

Just like my tournament had its own set of twists and turns, the Unlimited Tournament had a few twists and turns.

Olivia has conceded only one set so far, and that was the one Harriot took.

I was waiting for the game to start when I heard someone calling me from behind.

“Reinhardt, did you come to see the finals too?”

“Oh Charlotte.”

It was Charlotte.

Even if you watch it alone, the area is designated, so if someone comes, you have no choice but to run into it.

By the way, do you think Charlotte has any reason to watch the finals?

The reason was behind it.

“Is the teacher here too?”

“okay.”

Apparently, this was because she wanted to see Saviolin Tana, not Charlotte. I can’t fall from Charlotte’s side, but I must have wanted to see the finals.

Charlotte isn’t stupid either, so she must have read Tana’s attitude and said let’s go see the finals.

“If you’re going, say go. Why did you come alone?”

“Oh just.”

“okay?”

I thought it would be better to watch it alone rather than bring someone along, but I didn’t intend to move and do that just because I ran into it.

Naturally, Charlotte and Saviolin Tana sat next to me.

Charlotte looked around and crossed her arms.

“Hmm.”

“why?”

“uh? no… … .”

This area is a VIP seat exclusively for the Royal Class.

That means there are other VIP seats as well.

Just now, Charlotte was looking at the VIP seats for VIPs.

“Sir Bolton is there.”

“Boelton?”

As I tilted my head, Saviolin Tana looked at me.

“Didn’t we say hello at the last support meeting?”

“When is the support party?”

There should be one or two names that were forgotten after saying hello at the sponsorship meeting. Bolton? Who is it?

‘hmm.’

‘He has a bad memory.’

It took a while to feel that thought pass through Saviolin Tana’s eyes.

“Sir Ileion Boelton, the current Commander of the Knights Templar.”

“ah.”

That’s right.

That’s a name I’ve really heard of. Ileion Boelton, the newly appointed Commander of the Knights Templar, after Lebarrier Ranche was sacked.

I didn’t know what kind of person he was, and I completely forgot about him because he didn’t sponsor me.

Charlotte gave a subtle smile.

“I was looking for it to see if it came yesterday, but it wasn’t there. But today it came. Still, this is the final.”

“… … Do you think Olivia would hate to see her win?”

“hmm… … . I’m not sure what Lord Bolton thinks. It would just be a sight to see.”

How would the current head of the Knights Templar feel to see a talented person who was promising as the next influential religious leader give up his faith and win the tournament without divine power?

It’s obviously not going to be good. When I remembered the name, I could recognize the face.

It was different from Lebarrier Ranche, but it gave off a solemn and stubborn look. Of course, they were not wearing knights armor, but they were wearing formal clothes, and those around them who seemed to be paladins were watching the arena quietly.

Saviolin Tana, who had been quietly listening to our conversation, tilted her head.

“Maybe she’s rooting for the other side rather than how Olivia is.”

“The other side?”

“Don’t you know the finalists?”

“I don’t remember anything except for Olivia senior.”

Charlotte laughed bashfully, as if she didn’t even remember anything that had nothing to do with her.

“Among the finalists, there is a student who is certain to join the Knights Templar after graduation.”

“ah… … . is it so?”

“It might be something you want to beat Olivia.”

It was inevitable that Olivia gave up her faith.

So, the next member of the Templars could hope to take victory from Olivia, who doesn’t even use holy power.

Certainly, among the participants in the Unlimited Tournament, there were quite a few who seemed to be aspiring to become Paladins. Most of them were people with skills that could not be ignored.

Royal Class 6th A-3 Jordan Windsor.

Royal Class 6th Grade B-2 Radia Schmidt.

Lydia Schmidt.

Who was wondering what Olivia and I were talking about.

A person who looks good, but has a strange feeling.

It was a tremendous skill that used divine power with magical power enhancement.

by the way.

Because Olivia also kneeled for a year, Lydia Schmidt and Olivia must have been friends for a long time in the Temple life.

Is it because of Olivia’s betrayal of her faith that she has bad feelings for each other or something?

If it was Lydia Schmidt joining the Templars, there was a good chance she was jealous of Olivia.

It would have been a comparison target in many ways. Even though Lydia Schmidt’s skills are amazing, she probably couldn’t outperform Olivia in the end.

I would have seen Lydia Schmidt at least once if she belonged to Grace, but my first meeting with her was a short conversation in front of the dormitory the other day.

It would have been very painful if someone who was a perfect match for my talent was always on top of me.

While we were talking about this and that, the moderator slowly began to conduct the contest.

-Royal class 5th grader who has recorded only 1 point in the set so far! This is Olivia Ranze!

Olivia is teleported to the arena with people cheering.

Despite the slight accident yesterday, Olivia had regained her relaxed smile.

However, the only difference was that Olivia, who had fought with her bare fists until now, was holding a sword this time.

From the semi-finals onwards, there is no need to embrace penalties. Or did he decide that if he was careless like yesterday, he could give up a set absurdly.

The semi-finalists were two 6th graders from the Royal Class and 5th graders from Orbis Class.

All of the Royal Classes were finalists of Temple High School.

Olivia Ranze’s opponent in the quarterfinals was from Orbis Class 5. Melann Benier.

The Orbis class disappeared right before graduation, so it must be heartbreaking.

The Orbis class was the cradle of revolutionary forces, and most of the students and teachers involved dropped out or quit teaching.

Remaining must mean a person who has not been captured, or a person who has been captured but has decided to remain in the Temple.

revolutionary forces.

It gives me a headache every time I think about it.

Apart from my concerns, the first match of the semifinals soon began.

The course didn’t matter that much.

3:0

Olivia Ranze won completely.

* * *

I wonder if Olivia had a chance at least because Harriet used magic instead. Or is it because Olivia with the sword is that much stronger?

The opponent seemed to be struggling, but he couldn’t be Olivia’s opponent at all.

Most of all, the opponent seemed to be resentful, but it didn’t look so defeated as if he knew that the result would turn out like this.

The next match of the quarterfinals.

Royal Class 6th A-3 Jordan Windsor.

Royal Class 6th Grade B-2 Radia Schmidt.

Of course, those who have reached the quarterfinals have no problem with their skills. I saw the match between Lydia Schmidt and Jordan Windsor.

Radia Schmidt tends to lose with a double buff, and Jordan Windsor has excellent skills despite not being able to use divine power.

Of course, at this level, I couldn’t even deal with them, and even if Harriet dealt with them, I wouldn’t have been able to predict victory.

Olivia is too much of a monster, but the other royal class upperclassmen are also monsters.

The selected talented people honed their skills for six years. So even though there is an out-of-standard monster named Olivia, they are monsters as well.

Talent is not something you run away from.

To be honest, no matter how much Erhi is redundant now, there is no law that he will be redundant six years from now. Since he seems to be working hard these days, there is a possibility that he will awaken his magic power enhancement after the third year, and there is a possibility that he will become a monster who advances to unlimited level tournaments after 3 more years from there.

Olivia Ranze was originally a classmate of 6th graders, and with the exception of the 5th graders who went out to serve in the Pandemonium War, she must have been living with them all the time.

So, in reality, he would be closer to the 6th graders.

Classmates of the same royal class face each other in the finals of the Unlimited Class Tournament.

I thought it would be a pretty strange and fun experience.

If it wasn’t for the gate incident, I wondered if it would be like me and Ellen facing each other in the finals of an unlimited tournament when the grade goes up.

… … But maybe.

Even if I made it to the finals, thinking of myself losing to Ellen I met in the finals… … .

To be honest, I didn’t feel that bad.

The second match of the semi-finals was unexpectedly exciting.

-Good luck, Ladia.

-Please take care of me too.

The two greeted each other with a smile, wondering if their relationship wasn’t that bad. Even though the classes are different, the two of them seemed to be friendly, perhaps because the time spent was long.

But that’s for a while.

Both of their expressions hardened.

As if wondering where the friendly atmosphere went, the search battle between the two begins.

Orbis class 5th grader Melann Vennier, who was just beaten by Olivia, must be a much better player than I am.

In addition, the two fighting now are 6th graders of Temple.

This is the last time we will face each other in a place like this, like a tournament.

Regardless of how the two of them are usually, this is the last time they compete against each other on a special battlefield of this kind.

So we have to be sincere with each other.

– Ugh!

Blue magic wrapped around Jordan Windsor’s body. It didn’t feel like an explosively rising flame like Ellen’s.

That’s the exact opposite.

It feels like they put all their efforts into operational stability.

Compressed and refined, it feels like a well-forged blade, as if there is no unnecessary magic operation.

size is not weak.

It is a method of using only the necessary amount of power where necessary through extremely efficient magical power enhancement. Perhaps what Ellen and I should learn the most from now on is to strengthen magical powers in the same way as Jordan Windsor.

The case of Lydia Schmidt was a little different.

She suddenly plunged her sword into the arena floor.

– Knock!

A metal sword penetrated the stone floor, and white solid lines rose from the floor and began to wrap around the sword.

The white light that wrapped around the sword soon began to wrap around her own body as well.

And that wasn’t all.

Radia’s body was flowing with blue magic as well as white light.

It strengthens the body with divine power and also supports magical power enhancement.

A way to add strength to strength.

It’s not something I’m capable of autosuggestion, but that double reinforcement is absurd. Saviolin Tana looks at the scene and speaks calmly.

“The divine power of Ars, the god of war… … .”

I had already seen Ladia Schmidt’s match, so I knew that she used Ars’ divine power.

“In Als’ divine power… … . Nothing important.”

“yes.”

That’s part of what I know.

Ars, god of war.

“Instead of not being able to use the power of recovery, the divine power that focused everything on attack… … .”

Tuan’s power is not limited to healing, but most divine powers can use the power of healing to some extent.

However, the priests of Ars, the god of war, cannot use the power of healing.

A power that specializes solely in destroying and crushing.

A power of destruction specialized in slaughter and slaughter.

That is the divine power of the god of war.

Radia Schmidt, who has fully absorbed the divine power that has risen from the earth, draws out a sword with a white halo and stares at the opponent with blue and white light on her body.

-Goes.

-okay.

They are not the ranks of superhumans, but among superhumans, they are among the most talented.

Two monsters that can be called the essence of the royal class collide.

– Kwak!

Swords clashed against each other, but I could see shockwaves that seemed to distort the air.

As long as there was a level of confrontation, it was clear that the weapons provided were powerful artifact-class weapons that could withstand any fight.

Therefore, from now on, it was a true battle of superhumans.

* * *

The second match of the semi-finals was won by Class B’s Radia Schmidt. The set score is 3:1.

Jordan Windsor excelled at magical power enhancement, but Radia Schmidt was able to use Ars’ divine power.

That was the biggest difference.

The sacred power that was focused on the power of destruction made me shudder when I saw it. Jordan Windsor was defeated by Radia Schmidt, who was supported by divine power.

Since there is no change in the number of people in Class AB, it is common for Class B to overtake Class A.

But seeing it with my own eyes, it’s kind of like that.

A defeated Jordan Windsor could be seen gritting his teeth.

No matter what their usual relationship was, in the end, they lost due to a decisive big difference in training with all their might throughout their temple life.

Accepting defeat is difficult for anyone.

I didn’t really empathize with either of them. Because if I could do that, it was Olivia today.

Of course, unlike me, the audience seemed satisfied enough in terms of providing something to see, since there was no object to be moved in the first place.

But is this something Olivia can win?

Olivia can’t use her divine power, and Radia Schmidt can do her best.

What is the relationship between Lydia Schmidt and Olivia?

If Ladia Schmidt had been jealous of Olivia all her life at the Temple, she would have wanted to defeat her with all her might.

After a while, the finals were right around the corner.

After all, it is a match between classmates.

Olivia Ranze, who was A-1.

and B-3 Radia Schmidt.

The spectacle of the final was a little different from what I expected.

Olivia’s expression, which always had a relaxed smile, hardened, and Lydia Schmidt was smiling.

– Olivia.

-… … huh.

The atmosphere between the two was cheap.

When talking to Jordan Windsor before the game, Lydia Schmidt’s normal eyes and smile felt a little different.

Lydia Schmidt.

There was something like madness in her eyes.

-The divinity I feel in you is stronger than before.

-… … .

-Come back to God’s arms, Olivia. You were born to do that. It is made that way so that it cannot live outside of God’s arms.

-Ladia I… … .

-Come back. Olivia.

It wasn’t the jealousy or inferiority I expected.

Lydia Schmidt had completely different feelings for Olivia.

-I told you. gave up on everything continue… … . You kept saying… … .

– No, Olivia. Your divine power, your talent, your personality, everything. You are the only one who can truly unite the five main religions into one. You are the only person who can make a point in this long history of faith and move it into the next era.

Lydia Schmidt laughs and says to Olivia.

Olivia handles Tuan’s divine power, and Radia Schmidt handles Ars’ divine power.

Even if they are the same five major gods, they are different beliefs.

Still, Lydia Schmidt was trying to bring Olivia back to her faith. Olivia was clearly embarrassed.

-Come back Olivia.

– I’m sorry, Ladia. I have no intention of going back

Only then did I realize that I hadn’t known the specifics of Olia’s temple life.

Just as Leverrier Ranze didn’t want to miss Olivia’s talent.

A lot of people were missing Olivia, and of course there were classmates who were inspired by Olivia.

You’ve probably heard stories like that ever since you gave up your faith. It must have entered not only religious officials, but also numerous classmates with whom he had been close.

When Olivia gave up her faith, those who got along well when she maintained her faith must have tried hard to persuade her to change her mind.

Olivia must be tired of it.

In the end, contrary to my expectations, Ladia Schmidt was not jealous of Olivia Ranze, but rather was one of her ardent admirers.

“What are you talking about?”

Charlotte asked Saviolin Tanna as I and Saviolin Tanna focused on the two in the distance.

“… … I am persuading Olivia to regain her faith.”

“ah… … .”

Charlotte sighed.

“You must be tired, that senior too.”

“… … .”

Olivia’s exhaustion, close to despair, was evident.

You know that you will suffer from this for the rest of your life.

Olivia was suffering from more than I thought.

– I have only one answer, Radia. I have no intention of returning to God’s arms.

At Olivia’s words, Ladia closed her eyes for a moment.

-I see… … . Be prepared, then.

-… … Resolution?

-okay. Resolution.

Radia Schmidt once again plunged her sword into the arena floor.

– Willingness to endure sad things.

– Kagak!

Lydia Schmidt didn’t look evil. I was just feeling insecure. Even when she spoke to me briefly, she was smiling kindly.

But Lydia Schmidt, who was talking to Olivia, was a strange person herself.

The expression of Radia Schmidt, whose smile disappeared, reads a different feeling from the semifinal match.

madness and obsession.

-Everything that will happen from now on is God’s will to lead you who have lost your way to the right path.

– Whoa!

The divine power that soared from the floor of the arena enveloped Radia Schmidt.
