3car test.
It was as simple as Chris said..
Show your qualifications as a prosecutor, or confidently win the exam by defeating your opponent..
Fabir naturally hoped for the latter..
‘The question is whether to choose an opponent whose face is unknown or an opponent known to be talented..’
stepped forward.
An opponent whose face is unknown can be defeated relatively easily, but since it was my first turn, I wanted to make a strong impression..
If you win even though you chose a difficult opponent.
It was truly the icing on the cake, and the probability of receiving a ‘passing score’ in the final 4th test was very high..
drew a big picture.
Fabir slowly looked at Chris' words to choose an opponent..
‘chris.’
Absolutely not possible.
Known as the Flash of Dmitri, he proved his strength by defeating Diego, a member of the Twelve Swords of the Continent..
6It is a being that uses swordsmanship to which even the holy swordsman cannot respond properly..
I couldn't even dare to confront him, so I immediately put Chris' name out of my head..
‘Kevin.’
Dmitry's Demon.
It was a difficult opponent..
Obviously, the level of Aura is known to be around 3 stars, and he was emerging as a hot figure by defeating Blanco of the Kronos Empire..
A person who was ranked on the continental rankings along with Chris..
If you defeat him, you will definitely pass, but Fabir was not stupid enough to voluntarily walk down the thorny path..
in turn.
I saw the faces of Dmitry's soldiers..
I wanted to choose someone with a well-known name, but when I saw faces like Volkan and Pukki, my mouth fell open..
They also seemed formidable.
Fabir couldn't think of a way to win in his head, and after thinking for a while, he finally saw a face that looked suitable..
‘McBurney.’
left hand sword.
A graduate of the Southern Training Center, he became renowned for his sword-like command skills when the Kronos Empire attacked Dmitry..
Moreover, it is widely rumored that anomalous attacks using left hands are a threat..
Rather than thinking that he was a formidable opponent because he had no arms, the weapon itself, the Left Hand Sword, was familiar to him..
Fabir also.
Mainly used left arm.
This meant that McBurney's anomalous attacks were not a threat to him..
“I'll pick McBurney..”
spit out words.
Chris smiled slightly and then looked at McBurney..
OK.
McBurney stepped forward with a calm expression on his face..
* * *
Chris said.
“The time limit is 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, the sparring will end, and pass or fail will be decided based on the content of the game. Of course, if you defeat the opponent called, you will pass regardless of the content of the game. Are both sides ready?.”
“yes.”
“Well then, let’s start sparring..”
Palak.
the flag was waving.
When Chris took a step back, Fabir attacked as if he had been waiting..
Kwarung.
Crumbling rumbling.
The aura exploded.
His quick rushing movement instantly narrowed the distance between him and McBurney, and he watched his opponent's reaction with sharp eyes..
McBurney didn't back down..
As he raised his sword to block the expected direction of attack, Fabir created an aura and blocked the opponent's space..
‘There won't be many options with just the left arm.!’
one arm.
Naturally, I have no choice but to turn my body to protect my armless right side..
then.
Fabir suddenly changed direction and chose to attack from the opposite direction of his opponent..
sudden.
It was a contrarian idea..
Fabir's judgment is not to attack the opponent's vulnerability, but to attack the opponent's intention to protect the vulnerability..
Fabir was a skilled prosecutor..
While working as a knight of the prestigious Umberto family, he experienced numerous sparring matches, and his judgment, which was fully reflected in his experience, seemed to destroy McBurney's balance..
however.
Kaang!
“……?!”
I widened my eyes..
McBurney took a strange step, and a snake-like attack collided with his sword..
For a moment, I felt like my mind was tangled up..
I couldn't even properly see how McBurney responded, and when I barely blocked the attack and looked ahead, I saw McBurney coming right in front of me..
Kaang!
Kakakakakakang!
A fierce battle ensued..
My eyes were tense..
McBurney used a strange sword technique in which he made a motion to attack to the right, then suddenly turned to the left and then again to the right..
There is clearly a limit to the range of motion that can be performed with the left arm..
However, the swordsmanship that freely attacks both directions, as if he had both arms, was breathtaking..
Fabir couldn't tell..
The completion of a left-hand sword is a step..
Just by getting his feet in the right place at the right situation, McBurney completely dominated the space around him..
Kwaang!
Crumbling rumbling.
“Ugh.”
pushed aside.
I swallowed a moan.
During the southern training camp, McBurney was just an ordinary person who couldn't use aura..
However, Fabir's aura, which had a three-star aura, was still quite shocking, and now he had no choice but to admit that he had chosen the wrong opponent..
Left-handed swordsman McBurney's reputation wasn't just created..
People who approached it from common sense like Fabir, all of them were cruelly destroyed and became the foundation of their reputation..
Suddenly.
I gritted my teeth.
Fabir raised his aura and caught the moment..
‘It's now!’
gap between attacks.
Captured the fleeting moment.
Fabir struck out McBurney's sword and dug forward, exploding an aura at the end of the handle and attacking the opponent's heart..
Didn't take into account the fact that this could kill the opponent..
McBurney wasn't a tough guy to deal with with that mindset, and the only way to win was to give it your all..
Crumbling rumbling.
It was fast.
The moment he judged that the rushing sword would reach the enemy first, McBurney appeared to take a step back..
The distance has grown.
It was only one step, but it felt like three steps..
And then.
Kaang!
I threw the sword away.
He easily blocked Fabir's blow, and at the same time as he took a step forward, he stretched out his sword, which moved like a snake..
chuck-
It was over.
Feeling a cool sensation on his neck, Fabir looked at McBurney with a pale face..
“……lost.”
It was a complete defeat.
In the end, Fabir was unable to successfully attack even once and had no choice but to admit defeat..
* * *
It was a smooth match..
From Fabir's point of view, it seemed like there was a fierce exchange of attacks, but people watching from the outside saw that McBurney took Fabir's attack without a hitch and seemed to overpower him in one go..
Everyone let out exclamations of exclamation..
Fabir clearly displayed a 3-star aura, and it was impossible for someone of his caliber to be defeated by a single soldier..
However, the victorious McBurney and his colleagues who watched took the result for granted..
Chris said.
“Fabir passed..”
It was a different result than winning or losing..
Fabir was told he could move on to the next level, but the shock of defeat made him unable to smile..
in between.
The next turn also took place.
Although Fabir was only the first, it was necessary to spar simultaneously to test all 5,000 challengers..
People came out one after another and called out their names..
In the beginning, perhaps because there was a perception that they still looked down on Dmitri's private soldiers, they chose famous opponents like Fabir..
and.
Kwasik!
the sword is broken.
The challenger looked frightened by Volkan's onslaught, and expressed his intention by throwing away his sword even though the match was not over yet..
The test result was, of course, failure..
Those who made their names known as Roman Dmitry's private soldiers proved with their skills that there is a reason for the low weight..
puck.
“Cough.”
blood splattered.
The challenger, who had been hit in the face, fell to his knees under Kevin's cold gaze..
A being who was the vice-leader of a large mercenary group in his own right..
He believed that he could do half as well against anyone, but he could not withstand Kevin's barrage of attacks for less than a minute..
It was a desperate moment.
Kevin is a face that is rarely seen by anyone older than his early 20s, and it felt like all his decades of mercenary life were being denied by such a young guy..
but.
I had no choice but to admit it.
Kevin's skills were real, and the mercenary vice-captain avoided his gaze as he looked at him asking if he would try more..
“leaving out.”
drop out, drop out, drop out.
Rainwater fell.
Most of the people who blindly believed in their own abilities and chose their opponents failed, and in fact, there were many who passed among those who were presumed to be ordinary people..
What is certain is that the preceding results gave a clear message..
In a situation where Roman Dmitry's private soldiers had not been defeated even once, a challenger muttered:.
“……This is no joke. If you're thinking of taking down Dmitry's privates and getting a pass, you should never choose beings with known names. All the reputations about Dmitry were real.!”
Dmitry.
On the battlefield they were monsters.
Only then did people realize that the fame did not simply represent Roman Dmitry..
* * *
challenger.
Thames believed that passing the test required rational judgment..
‘In a situation where talented people are failing one after another, you can probably get a passing grade just by showing a moderately good performance. If that's the case, it means that I have to pick an opponent who is easy to handle based on my skills. Hmm, who wants it… … huh?’
Moment.
There was something that caught my eye.
At the very back of Dmitry's soldiers lined up, a man who looked so small compared to the others caught Thames' attention..
Thames was also a 2-star aura swordsman in his own right..
Among the people who came to take Dmitry's test, I wasn't one of the strongest, but I still felt like I could win against such a small man..
Height is about 160cm.
His muscles were strong compared to his small physique, but that wasn't a big problem..
Physical differences are fatal.
190For Thames, who boasts a 12-inch physique, this seemed like a golden opportunity to win, even if it was cowardly..
“I will choose that person.”
“Hunt, forward.”
hunt.
It was the first time I heard this name..
Among Roman Dmitry's followers, people including Chris and Kevin have achieved great fame, but I have never heard of someone like Hunt..
Thames clenched his fist in his heart..
Just because he was Roman Dmitry's private soldier, I don't think he was an easy person, but the fact that his name wasn't known could be taken to mean that he lacked skill..
The two looked at each other.
As he was preparing for a sparring match, Fred, the knight commander of the Marquis of Memphis, who was watching him, said as if to himself:.
“That challenger will definitely be eliminated..”
“Why do you think so? Looking at your physique, I think you can win if you do well in the beginning..”
The same challenger next to me looked puzzled..
Thames and Hunt.
Visually, the winner and loser seemed clear..
Hunt may not be a great aura swordsman, so it would have been very difficult to defeat Thames in a pure swordsmanship match with Hunt's small physique..
Plus, Thames didn't look like a fool..
The muscular body that made his sturdy physique look even more robust proved that Thames was strong enough to be considered an ordinary soldier..
Fred shook his head..
“The problem is that they underestimated and chose an opponent named Hunt. As a native of the Kronos Empire, I know better than anyone else what Roman Dmitri and his soldiers did on the battlefield. Southern Front, Western Front, Valhalla. In countless battles, they are invincible warriors who have never been defeated. It means that a weak being cannot survive until now..”
“……Hehehe.”
The challenger swallowed dry saliva..
After hearing Fred's words, Hunt's behavior seemed unusual..
“People don't really understand what the test means right now. Those who look down on others even a little. Without a clear outcome of victory, you will not pass this third test..”
like he said.
Those with a complacent mindset were all eliminated..
Only those who showed a good performance in sparring with Dmitry's soldiers or who, like Fabir, chose their opponents with rational judgment, received a passing grade..
In that respect, Thames failed..
It was clear that unless he could secure victory as he intended, he would not pass the third test..
It was then.
“Wow!”
only 5 seconds.
As soon as the fight began, screams of pain caught people's attention..
