Chapter 32
The date of the match has come.
Now it’s time to humiliate David von Cain.
And… finally. I can finally free Ilyn from him.
One of the rules of a match is to give the winner what they want.
That being said, it is also possible to break the marriage with Ilyn by defeating Kane.
Of course, if you do something wrong, you may end up in big trouble, but it’s safe to say that it’s almost safe because of the cause of the Royal Academy duel.
The moment they try to retaliate for their victory, the only thing they lose is the David family.
The question is, can you beat him?
To be honest, that Auror showed me on the day of the opening ceremony.
If you look at that alone, it’s not at the level of how Augtin would deal with it.
no it’s not just me
If you come that far, you will be able to defeat top-level students, professors, as well as knights who are famous on the continent.
So it’s definitely cheating.
I don’t know how he got that much aura, but it’s strange that he’s having a hard time running for a long time even though he has that much power.
First of all, it is true that he has grown for a month, but it must be clear that he has not become incredibly strong.
And even if he has become stronger than he thinks, he has a trump card.
Of course, the number of the treasury can be used not only by himself but also by Kane.
Considering his personality, he would unconditionally use the same number of trumpets as himself, but considering Kane’s reaction, there seemed to be little chance of that.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to win a duel.
As such, Augtin already assured his victory and smirked like a villain.
***
To fight Kane, Ogtin went to the training ground with his older brother, Belmore von Ortin.
Augtin turned to him and asked.
“older brother. How’s your condition?”
“It’s not bad. But in the first place, is it something I should do against Kane?”
“Well, it’s definitely enough for me alone, so there’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
Well, it is.
At first, I wondered if I had to take part in the confrontation between Augustine and Kane, but hearing the rumors about him these days, I thought that my brother might not be able to win.
Of course, rumors are usually exaggerated, so I didn’t have much faith, but there’s nothing wrong with being careful as Ogtin said.
“by the way. What if he thinks the same as you? little brother.”
“Hmm. Even if you think like me, you won’t find a student to help him. If you look at the behavior he showed in the first semester, what do you think?”
It is not.
The rule of the duel is that it is possible to summon a representative, even if it is not the person himself.
However, that is the standard for Royal Academy students.
It’s impossible to have a member of his family, his monster-like exclusive maid, as a proxy.
Considering Kane’s progress so far, no one will help him.
Anyway, Aile von Illin.
But she had a confident and just personality.
It is safe to say that there is little chance that she will help Kane.
As I walked with that thought in mind, at some point I arrived at the training ground.
Rumors of a confrontation seem to have spread.
Now, in the training ground bleachers, they could see each other betting on who would win and betting money.
Not only that, but there are also people who take advantage of this opportunity to sell snacks to make money.
Students in the grandstand look at the two and whisper.
“hey. Ogtin you bastard. Did you bring your brother?”
“I know? When he said he was asking for a duel, he talked like he was going to go out.”
“hey. by the way. If you hear the rumors about Kane, honestly, wouldn’t it be acceptable to bring hyung?”
“exactly. It is not. To be honest, I don’t know what I’ve been doing in a month, but just looking at my 5th place in physical strength, beating out aspiring knights, I died with my ogtin skills. Even if I wake up, I can’t win.”
The students around them also nodded their heads with empathy.
The student continues with the idea that the people around him listen to him more.
“And Kane. There were even rumors that he could use magic.”
“What?! really?”
“yes. From what I hear, it’s rumored to be taking magic classes.”
“no. Isn’t that guy a knight family? What are your thoughts on learning magic?”
“Who knows what that idiot thinks.”
All the students nodded their heads in agreement.

Meanwhile at that time.
As Skaya sat down in an empty space in the bleachers, Riche and Cage followed her and sat next to them.
The students, who saw Riche, sat down slowly away from them with frightened faces.
Richie ignored the reactions of the students around her and asked Skaya with a slightly worried expression.
“Skaya. What do you think?”
“yes? what?”
“…do you think the master can defeat the representative brought by that bastard?”
At Richie’s question, Skaya closed her eyes and fell into trouble. Then I remembered what happened during training.
***
Skaya asked Kane, who was training mental strengthening at the same time as physical strengthening, blowing magic.
“hey. But isn’t that why you’re bringing a representative of Augtin?”
“Well, I think I’m going to bring him back.”
“·········?”
Skaya tilted her head at his confident tone.
“How are you so sure?”
“Um… huh? No, look at that bastard’s contemplative look. As a matter of fact, contemplation is magic, so bring a representative.”
“Ugh.”
It’s a bit suspicious, but honestly, I can’t really refute that statement.
I don’t know Augtin’s personality in detail, but his behavior is the same as his contemplation, and he was famous for being an asshole, even if he wasn’t even Kane in the first semester.
Actually, I think it’s Kane backwards compatibility.
“by the way. You’ve never really practiced magic, have you?”
“yes. Because it is.”
Kane nodded without hesitation at Skaya’s question.
hmmm. I feel too uncomfortable for something like that.
It is normal to imagine an image of the body exuding magical energy when strengthening the body.
However, unlike the body enhancements used by wizards so far, Kane does not emit magical energy, but inhabits it and maintains it efficiently.
How the hell did you come up with that idea?
It’s not just a simple effort. Usually wizards see the magic in books, so the image is fixed in stereotypes.
Among them, I am included.
But it wasn’t Kane. The guy manifested his magic in an image different from the one in the book.
Is it possible to come up with such an idea because I’m not originally a wizard?
Clearly, he has a different path to growth from the wizard he’s had so far.
Usually, wizards try to increase their magical power even a little during physical training or learn more magic.
Kane This guy wasn’t like that.
Since childhood, Kane has worked hard to become a knight, training his body, swordsmanship, and aura.
Of course, he suddenly turned into a fool at some point, but it is undeniable that he has been training as a child.
Therefore, it is not strange to imagine a different image for Kane, who would have lived a different life than a wizard.
“How in the world do you think like that?”
“what?”
“no. Usually no one uses body strengthening like you do. It’s the first time I’ve seen it used that way.”
okay? But the game skill says to do this?
I don’t know what kind of image other people are imagining, but the skill settings from the game were shown in the way they used now.
·······Isn’t the skill in the game the perfect way to do this?
Then, it is certainly not unreasonable for Zion, the constellation, and Skaya to be surprised.
For them, they thought that the body strengthening they had seen was perfect, but since they saw a more efficient method than that, it would be natural to ask if they had practiced.
As Kane thought about it for a moment, he couldn’t avoid Skaya’s magic and was properly hit in the forehead.
– Puff!
“Kee!”
Kane, who was hit straight, rolled over the floor and rubbed his forehead.
“Ah-oh. Even if I use body strengthening, it hurts terribly. Are you doing it while watching?”
“I do it while watching. It’s only that much of a pain. Why are you serious?”
With those words, Skaya activated the flame she had just shown at about 100 times the size of the previous one.
The flame was large enough to swallow a person easily.
– Wow!!
“no. sorry. Master.”
“okay. ok to know By the way, have you ever really practiced physical strengthening and mental strengthening? Isn’t that Gura?”
“What am I going to do with you with that? There is nothing to gain.”
“Well, it is.”
Hmmm… no matter how much you think, it doesn’t make sense?
His magic is perfect, and yes, it can be said.
But how can you perfect those two spells with just one injection?
On the first day of training, Kane didn’t react as if he had had one or two injections.
To say that his words are a lie, frankly, there is no reason why he should.
What’s the gain in lying to yourself that you didn’t practice?
Therefore, there is a high probability that that statement is not false.
Then it’s just that the talent is different.
Skaya thought that it would be meaningless to think about it any longer, so she blew her magic away at Kane, who had strengthened her body.
***
After contemplating, Skaya calmly answered Richie’s question.
“To be honest. I think it’s unreasonable. I think Kane thinks differently. He spoke as if he knew from the start that Augustin was bringing a delegate.”
“yes?”
“yes?”
Richie tilted her head at Skaya’s words, and Cage opened her mouth with a look of disbelief.
“Is the owner trying to come out on his own? Aren’t you looking for a representative?”
“yes. I don’t know what confidence it is, but I think it is. And before that, if Augustin calls a representative, will I take over? I offered it, but it was rejected.”
“····· Master, I have no idea what you are thinking.”
Both of them nodded in agreement with Cage’s words.

Meanwhile at that time.
Sitting in a different seat than the three of them, Illin had a grim expression on her face, but inside she was nervous.
Will Kane be able to defeat that agent?
The delegate Augtin brought in is a whopping 3rd grader.
At least, unless you are a top-notch student like yourself, winning is infinitely near impossible.
Did you notice her intentions? Jenny looks at Ilyn and says with a slight smile.
“Illin. Don’t worry too much. That guy has definitely grown up. I will overcome it somehow.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. And even if an agent appears, the agent is unconditionally penalized for fairness. So there is no guarantee that Kane will lose.”
It’s definitely what Jenny said.
It’s clear that Ortin is strong, but given the penalty, there’s no guarantee that even Kane won’t win.
while thinking like that. The sound of someone walking is heard from the entrance to the training ground.
– Jerk. jerk.
People in the audience turned their heads towards it.
Not long after that, Kane showed up on the training ground with a confident smile.
William, who will be the judge of the duel, sees Kane and yawns.
“Ha ha. okay. Players from both sides are here. Well, let me briefly explain the rules. First of all, Ogtin brought Ortin as a substitute, so for the sake of fairness, Ortin, don’t use the Auror. If you use it, you will be disqualified.”
“yes. All right.”
“Then tell us what conditions you want to win against each other.”
As if waiting for those words, Augtin raised one corner of his mouth and opened his mouth without hesitation.
“There is only one condition I want. If my surrogate wins, Kane, you break up with Ilyn.”
When Augustin finished speaking, their eyes focused on Ilyn.
Upon hearing this, Kane raised one corner of his mouth and nodded.
Of course, you can feel the stinging gaze from the back of your head, but it must be an illusion.
By the way, I already knew it, but it makes no sense to think about it again.
When I asked him why he looked so harsh on himself, in the end, he became jealous and nothing else.
He had applied for a duel that he could lose with only one of them.
While Kane sighs inwardly for a moment. William turns to Kane and asks a question.
“Kane. Say what you want.”
“The condition I want is that two people, including the representative, drop out of the academy.”
The two of them nodded without hesitation as to whether there were any complaints.
When William sees that the two of them agree, he gives a hint of annoyance and explains the rules of the duel.
“okay. Then, treat it as an agreement between the two sides and don’t say the conditions for victory. The victory condition will be victory if the opponent is stunned or declared defeat. How are you both not dissatisfied?”
William nodded at his words.
“okay. Then start now.”
