139Woe Roman Dmitry's people (3)
henderson.
If he were just an unknown person, people wouldn't be so surprised..
Aside from the fact that he failed to make a name for himself as a prosecutor, there were many people here who remembered his days as a farmer..
Murmur.
“That's Henderson?”
“Henderson beat Knight Taylor!”
“Aren't we doing something wrong now? It is said that the process of feeling the ‘mana’ called aura takes more than a year. But how does Henderson, who used to farm with us, know how to use aura??”
Everyone was embarrassed.
Henderson is a familiar figure..
If Roman Dmitry suddenly grew up and had to accept a reality outside of common sense because he didn't know everything about him, there were more than one person here who experienced Henderson..
Friends with whom he drank beer, colleagues who helped him during busy farming periods, and village elders who watched him grow..
Everyone clearly knows what kind of person Henderson is, but this really didn't make sense..
The day Henderson left Lawrence.
People caught him and said.
“Are you really crazy? Songworms have to eat pine needles to survive. Why would a guy who has lived his entire life as a farmer come here and do such a dangerous job now? Life isn't dramatic. A farmer must live and die as a farmer, and being a prosecutor is a life granted to those born with it. I guarantee you, before half a year passes you will miss life as a farmer..”
That was my last memory of Henderson..
But now.
Henderson defeated the Aura swordsman..
The people who had spoken harsh words to him looked up blankly at the sight of Henderson coming off the stage..
Then I realized.
While they were repeating the same life over and over again, Henderson followed Roman Dmitry and made a life that everyone thought impossible become a reality..
For a moment, I felt jealous..
But when they saw Henderson bowing his head towards Roman Dmitry, there was nothing the people who knew him could do..
Like those who remember Henderson.
There were people who couldn't hide their embarrassment at the results before their eyes..
“……Things seem to be going strangely..”
“Didn't you say that Henderson is clearly the weakest member of Group 5? But how did he defeat the Aura swordsman?.”
“I'm sure the unfortunate event of Henderson winning Group 5 like this won't happen.?”
It was the Northeast Association..
They are Articles 5 and 6.
The group that included Henderson and McBurney was confident of victory..
McBurney, I thought he might advance to the 2nd or 3rd round because his luck was good in the beginning, but it was different in the case of Henderson, who met the aura swordsman from the beginning..
If all goes according to their plan. Henderson was supposed to fall without being able to do anything against Taylor, but contrary to expectations, he knocked Taylor out in one go..
An ominous feeling came over me..
Viscount Conrad spoke with a bright face..
“Everyone, don't lose your composure. This is just the beginning. If Henderson wasn't as good at swinging a sword as we thought, would Roman Dmitry have let him compete? This is a natural result. So please wait calmly. You can't win a competition by winning once or twice, so guys like Henderson will definitely show their natural limitations as the rounds progress..”
The corners of my eyes trembled..
he saw it too.
The systematic swordsmanship that defeated Taylor was of such perfection that it was hard to believe that he was a commoner..
But what can I do?.
The competition has begun.
There was no escape now..
“Trust me. The ultimate winner will be the Northeast Association.”
Until then.
Even as I swallowed dryly, I couldn't accept the fact that I was still wrong..
* * *
Henderson's Victory.
Then McBurney won too..
McBurney's opponent was not a very great prosecutor, so people were not surprised by the one-armed prosecutor's victory..
2round.
Didn't wait for the next group's turn.
The next round proceeded immediately from the group that ended..
“Son.”
“yes.”
“Is there any reason to go through the trouble of holding a competition to sort out the rankings in the northeastern region? The nobles of the Northeast Association are shrewd. Even if I don't win the competition, I won't bow my head to Dmitry..”
It was Baron Romero..
this plan.
It was Roman's idea..
Baron Romero fully supported his son's idea, but it did not make perfect sense..
Roman said.
“I know that too. The Northeast Association are like bats, and no matter how the conversation ends, their true feelings cannot be brought out. But still, I think this is a necessary process. The Northeast Union is in a complacent confidence that they can use their 'strength' to deal with Dmitry. The truth is otherwise, but the mistakes that come from that confidence may make the central government happy..”
Northeast area.
The king here is Dmitri..
The Northeast Association thought they were no better than foxes, so they walked around with their heads held high..
their humble self-confidence.
was a risk factor.
If an armed conflict actually breaks out with the Northeast Union, the Dmitry family will have no choice but to bear the damage even if they win..
Because war is war after all.
In the process of completely eliminating forces such as the Northeast Alliance, Dmitry will lose troops and the Northeast forces will take a step back..
I didn't like it.
Roman hoped to completely engulf the northeastern region..
“father. I do not wish to go to war with the Northeast Association. There is nothing to be gained from war with them. Even if we destroy the Northeast Association and place it under our feet, we cannot raise our voice against the central government, which is the real power of the Cairo Kingdom. This competition is a device to prevent war. Northeast Association. They must have thought that the fact that the competition was divided into six groups gave them a good chance of winning, and that was their humble pride..”
three steps.
This is the second of them..
With this operation, the Northeast Association will face reality..
“What if the Northeastern Association, which is still in disillusionment, is defeated overwhelmingly? If they witness the reality of not even being an opponent, let alone winning a single group, then they will realize that even with the help of the central government, they cannot overcome Dmitry's wall. This is the beginning of taking control of the northeastern region. Complete surrender. When the Northeast Association faces reality, I plan to crush their soft spirit once and for all..”
I didn't check my father's expression..
timely.
up the stage.
Kevin was stepping up..
* * *
2Joe's Kevin.
He felt uncomfortable now..
‘……I was slower than Chris.’
1st round ahead.
Chris defeated the enemy in 3 seconds.
Even though the opponent was a swordsman who knew how to use aura, he was helpless and Kevin saw it clearly..
So I gave my all in the first round..
I was planning to take down the opponent faster than Chris, but the opponent blocked only one attack, so it took a whopping 8 seconds..
It was fast enough.
But Kevin wasn't satisfied with his results..
‘Chris is strong. I'm not his match yet, but I don't intend to accept reality either..’
if.
If you ask people who Roman Dmitry's sword is, who will they think of first??
It's a simple problem.
everyone will say chris.
Chris was evaluated as Dmitry's genius swordsman, and in fact, he was showing actions consistent with that because he followed Roman..
Sword-like leadership and the ability to defeat a 3-star aura swordsman.
Since he has no opponents except Roman, it is only natural that he is called the sword of Roman Dmitry..
but.
Kevin hated it..
He started following Roman first, but he didn't like how Chris was known as Roman's representative..
‘I'm not denying the fact that Chris is my boss. I will be a faithful subordinate to my superior's orders for my master's sake, but the fact that Chris is the first to be mentioned with Dmitry's sword is a different matter. I hope that my lord will have the utmost confidence in me. When it takes just one person to solve a problem, I hope you choose me and not Chris..’
Roman Dmitry.
It was heaven for Kevin..
Kevin always craved Roman's approval, and in a proving ground like today, he hoped to be the best..
I was no match for my skills.
3candle.
Kevin didn't have the confidence to finish that quickly..
so that.
changed my mind.
‘I prove my worth in my own way.’
the lord said.
Show me your overwhelming power.
Kevin's eyes turned fierce as he saw the other person coming up from the other side..
* * *
flutter.
The showdown has begun.
Kevin's Opponent.
Miles, a prosecutor from the Northeast Association, did his best from the start..
‘The opponent is Dmitri's demon. If he doesn't give his all, he might end up defeated in an ugly way.’
Rumbling.
created an aura.
this match.
A bladeless sword was used..
But from the moment I used the aura, it was no different from a real battle where my life was at stake..
crackling.
kevin was fast.
He let go of Miles' attack with simple steps, and easily blocked the combo attack that came straight at him..
Kevin's sword had an aura similar to Miles'..
Since he already knew that Kevin knew how to use aura, Miles was not at all fazed and pushed Kevin hard..
Kaang!
Kakakakang!
It's still early days.
It was a match where Miles seemed to have the advantage..
The people of the Northeast Association clenched their fists at the unexpected development and hoped that Miles would win..
It was then.
hook.
a narrow difference.
Kevin dodged the attack..
He dug forward and stretched out his sword to attack the tiny gap..
puck.
“Ugh.”
I was shocked..
I hurriedly protected my body with my aura, but the shock shook my mind as I was hit on the side of my chest..
It wasn't enough to collapse.
Miles gritted his teeth and attacked Kevin..
Kevin came in deep and looked dangerous, but none of Miles' attacks worked..
‘This rat-like guy!’
Swish.
Heat was boiling inside..
just one or two steps.
It was the gap between Kevin and himself..
Obviously, it would have been difficult to avoid his attack at such a close distance, but Kevin narrowly dodged the attack by showing an acrobatic stance..
It was an absurd move even though he was dealing with it directly..
Kevin did not protect his body at all with his aura, and nullified all attacks with just one movement..
That was great guts..
Even though it would have been a huge shock if the attack was allowed, Kevin didn't seem to care at all..
‘Just take it once.’
crackling.
It was a judgment call..
I rushed in boldly..
I was planning on taking Kevin's bones, even if it meant giving up his flesh..
slap.
right in front of you.
Kevin disappeared..
Let's instantly protect ourselves with aura.
Powok-
“Wow.”
I was shocked again.
No vital points were attacked..
However, the shock was enough to cause my legs to stumble, so I took a step back and hurriedly looked for Kevin..
one step back.
Kevin was there..
Kevin was within Miles' range, so Miles was not allowed time to catch his breath and calm down..
From then on there was no such thing as a plan..
A fight based on instinct. When he was seen, he swung his sword, and when he felt like he was about to be attacked, he raised an aura to protect his body..
hook!
There was no feeling of being caught this time either..
I was annoyed.
Even though we are exchanging fire and defense right in front of our noses,.
My own attack didn't work, and I was helpless against my opponent's attack..
‘fuck.’
The difference in skill was clear..
Kevin and Miles.
No matter what their level of aura was, the two showed an overwhelming difference in skill..
Just six months ago, Kevin was just a boy from the slums, but extreme training and experience in war made him grow..
puck!
“……!”
Again, shock went through Miles' mind..
It hurt.
As he staggered back, he suddenly belatedly checked the scene before his eyes..
“You, you bastard.”
Kevin.
he took a step back.
Until now, I had not been able to properly understand the situation because I was preparing for the opponent's follow-up attack, but Kevin succeeded in his attack and did not show a single follow-up attack..
It was a one-sided joke.
The fact that Miles was given time to recover clearly showed that he was not giving his all in this fight..
3Chris finished his opponent in seconds..
Seeing that, Kevin changed his mind..
If Chris finished it in a short time.
Kevin did the opposite..
On the contrary, he deliberately dragged it out even though he could have ended the game, showing how great the difference between him and his opponent was..
“This bastard!”
Crumbling rumbling.
Cracking.
Myles rushed in with lights in his eyes..
It was a matter of pride.
Regardless of the outcome of defeat, it couldn't have collapsed like this..
Even just once.
I wanted to hit you just once.
The sword sparkling with an aura cut down Kevin, but this time, Kevin avoided the attack by taking a step back..
Eyes met eyes.
A loophole was revealed.
If you are attacked like this, you may become crippled..
however.
Smirking.
Kevin stepped down..
did not attack.
Even though he was sure of victory, he took a step back and gave Myles time to regroup..
In such a situation.
Miles's mentality eventually collapsed..
“……I will abstain.”
Making the other person give up.
It was Kevin's way..
Kevin did not finish quickly, but rather took as long as possible to prove the difference between himself and his opponent..
Myles broke down..
The talent from the outskirts who once dreamed of succeeding as a prosecutor has today met an insurmountable wall..
“2The round has ended. Kevin of the Dmitry family won and advanced to the third round.!”
Kevin's Victory.
It took a whopping 10 minutes.
It took the longest in the entire competition, but ironically, people couldn't help but be amazed at the 10 minutes it took..
however.
Kevin couldn't help but laugh..
While Kevin deals with Miles.
2round 5 seconds.
3round 8 seconds.
410 seconds round.
In that short period of time, Chris shocked people by confirming his advancement to the finals..
