Episode 285 Ranking Battle
The news that Ahn Ho-yeon's mother has recovered to normal has safely reached her colleagues.
Everyone congratulated me as if it were their own work, and the school festival was going on again in a calm atmosphere.
With the reaction getting hotter day by day, more people flocked to it.
In the closed city of Daegu, the energy of the ebb and flow lingered.
At the festival, cadets sold their own food and exchanged necessities with each other.
The scenery is not that different from any other high school, to the point where I feel a sense of difference.
By the way, Jaehyun was now at the amphitheater of the academy.
People were full. No wonder.
This is because the event that the audience is most looking forward to at this festival is held here.
Miles Academy's Ranking Match!
This was one of the academy's representative events that judged the individual skills of the cadets.
There was nothing better to simmer the fans who are crazy about the hero Raider.
‘Before ranking. Scouts from numerous guilds flocked to see it. It's an excellent opportunity for cadets.'
As the biggest event of Milles Academy, the ranking match at the school festival is of a different level.
overwhelming scale.
And the field divided into two was a representative example.
Basically, all academy ranking matches are divided into two parts.
The first is a many-on-one battle.
It begins with one cadet stepping out and donning the barrier vest. The goal is then for the other cadets to get that cadet out.
The basic rule was to set the remaining physical strength of the barrier vest to 0.
At this time, the biggest feature of many-to-one was that it was okay to attack one cadet by several people, just like the name of many-to-one.
The second is a one-on-one battle.
It is played in a tournament format and is the most popular.
In fact, in the case of many-to-one, even if one cadet is too strong, he will eventually get tired. comes down at the end
A sector where it is customary to pay different rewards based on how many wins you have won.
However, this is as important as looking at the match and deciding whether or not you can win. It was difficult for the importance to be higher than one-on-one.
Jaehyun decided to participate in both.
In most circles, one person from each will participate in this event.
Of course, even if there are several of them, there is no problem at all. It is also recommended again. In fact, it is said that in the case of elite circles such as Hyun-Jung Yoo, there are quite a number of students participating in many-to-one.
However, in the case of one-on-one, if you are unlucky, you will have to fight with your teammates.
However, it is impossible to intentionally lose, and it is customary for only one person to come out one by one, even if it takes away one's stamina.
I thought I would do the same this time. And it was the time when Jaehyun alone thought he would be unmatched in both competitions.
“One to one. I'll go too.”
Ahn Ho-yeon raised his hand and said. After exchanging glances with Jaehyun, who was looking down at the amphitheater, he expressed his intention again.
“I want to go out.”
“do whatever you want. But won't you be with me?”
As Jaehyun smiled and said that, Ahn Hoyeon's fighting spirit boiled over.
It was pure force, not magical power. Seeing that scene, Jaehyun started to expect that something interesting would happen.
Maybe it's not that I don't even know if I'm going to fight him.
Ahn Ho-yeon. Fighting him properly again was welcome even as Jaehyun.
“Well, whatever that is.”
Kwon So-yul interrupted the two of them.
She said while looking at Jaehyun.
“Make sure to win many-to-one. Points are worth it.”
It is a many-on-one battle where all members of the circle get a certain point even if one member of the circle wins. It was natural that Jaehyun's performance was inevitable here.
At Kwon So-yul's words, Jae-hyun smiled and left her coat with her.
“I’ll finish it soon.”
With those words, the voices of famous casters and commentators sitting in the relay seats can be heard.
“Now then, let’s start the ranking match of the school festival.
First of all, the first is a many-to-one battle, and there will be differential rewards based on the number of victories! If you are applying for a many-to-one solo exhibition, please prepare.”
“From now on, everything happening in the ranking match will be broadcast live to the world through TV! Everyone stay tuned, and you can also participate in the chat via smartphone, so please participate and support as much as possible.
Then, let's start the many-to-one ranking match in earnest. If you would like to participate, please step forward.”
However, despite the narrator's words, no cadets came forward. No wonder.
In general, in many-to-one battles, being the first to go is at a disadvantage.
In the end, due to the nature of people, the one who wins last is remembered longer and actually holds more points in his hand.
That's why there should be few people who go first...
“I'm going out.”
Jaehyun said with magic in his voice. Let everyone hear your spirit clearly.
“Cadet Min Jae-hyeon became the first participant in the many-to-one ranking match! The best freshman from the start! It remains to be seen how many victories he will win!”
“That's right. As a cadet with the best talent, he is expected to show a good performance.”
“But when you’re also on the one-on-one roster, do you need to relax here? I am also worried that it might not be a bad choice.”
The commentator and caster diligently briefed on Jaehyun's profile and boosted the atmosphere.
And below, fierce preparations were underway.
“So... if we all fight at once, won't something work out?! Anyway, the maximum number of people in a multi-player battle is 100.”
“You’re going by the rules!”
“okay. It's not that we're cowardly, it's that he's weird!”
“All of us will participate!”
They were a group that usually spread bad rumors about Jae-hyun, saying that he was cocky.
Jae-Hyun stands in the center of the arena, and crowds of cadets block him on all sides.
you can't get out of here If that's what you want to say...
It wasn't much of an intimidation to Jaehyun.
Even so, the cadets shouted loudly.
“Even if it is Min Jaehyun, we are 100 people! Do you think you can beat us!”
“okay! Hey fuck, do you know how many points you get if you win here?! If I had come out late, I would have made it. Be ashamed of yourself here!”
“let's go!”
Jaehyun couldn't stop laughing at their words.
because.
―Active skill ?Frozen Earth Lv 5? is activated.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
“Aagh!”
“XBaaal!”
Because they were too weak.
Jaehyun wiped out about a hundred cadets at once with one frozen ground.
Then, along with the sound of a thororong, he could see his ranking on the display board going up.
‘I have already mastered the frozen land. The power of Lv 5 is beyond imagination.'
Of course, it wasn't the power that the cadets could withstand, so I adjusted the level.
The magic of reappearance was enough to freeze the entire field at once.
However, with this, Jaehyun's overall ranking is 4th.
Top students. It also raised it to just below Jung Hyun, Kang Joo-hyeop, and Han Ji-an, who had proven their skills for two and a half years.
All that remains is the one-on-one ranking match.
It was a tournament-style event.
There, Jaehyun planned to achieve the first place in the school rankings.
* * *
One-on-one ranked match.
Its rules were much easier than many-on-one battles.
Two people go up and fight with only the basic weapons provided. And the winner is decided.
The winner rises higher.
That was all.
The match started in the round of 64.
As expected, Ahn Ho-yeon and Jae-hyun cleaned up their opponents without difficulty and continued to rise.
An Ho-yeon swung his sword every moment and felt the wall around him shatter.
Maybe this time I can really grow more.
And on the basis of that, the influence of the mother who is now waving from the audience can't be said to be small.
“do well! My son~!”
My mother recovered quite a bit and was able to come to the academy in a wheelchair. My body has improved to the point where I can watch the festival.
Ahn Ho-yeon thought of Jae-hyun and realized that there was only one step left before fighting him.
The bracket was decided and the quarterfinals. It was because if I made it to the semifinals, I would face him.
But before that, there was one person I had to deal with.
“Lee Soo-hyuk. You, too, appeared before the rankings.”
“okay. I need to get revenge on Min Jaehyun. Do you know how much I suffered from him?”
It was Lee Soo-hyuk.
A cadet with the highest level of aptitude, who had the same magical talent as Kim Yoo-jung.
He participated in this one-on-one ranking match.
Ahn Ho-yeon grabbed his sword and stood in front of Lee Soo-hyuk. He had a tight grip on his staff.
It is not studded with the lion shape that is often used, but a general staff.
Ahn Ho-yeon was well aware of his recent achievements.
‘The cadet who was born with the strongest magic talent after Jaehyun and Yoojung. I heard that you've already started learning A-class magic. It's a great level.'
Of course, there were three giants in front of me, but even that was enough.
Ahn Ho-yeon thought so, grabbed his sword and took a stance.
The heat of the amphitheater did not know how to go.
yet.
“Then the quarterfinals begin!”
With the voice of the commentary, the battle between Lee Soo-hyuk and Ahn Ho-yeon began.
charrrrr!
As soon as the sign fell, Lee Soo-hyeok sprinkled something on the floor and stepped back.
It was a tack for status ailments. It seemed like it was made with magic, but its sophistication was not at the level of a cadet.
‘It seems like they're trying to minimize the terrain I can step on.'
Lee Soo-hyeok's operation was excellent.
Ahn Ho-yeon was a cadet who was alert and knew how to move quickly.
In addition, the power of the blue and white sword removes the dark attribute mana.
For Lee Soo-hyeok, the method of limiting the range of activities by risking status abnormalities was relatively advantageous.
I am a magic type that takes time to cast. In addition, it is not possible to use magic freely without delay like Jaehyun.
A situation that is bound to be unfavorable. To overcome this, this method was the best.
Wizards sometimes have to devise things to survive even if they are a little cowardly.
If you don't do that and push forward honestly, the same situation as the past outdoor training camp will happen.
The miserable thing of being saved by the person you thought was your rival!
‘Actually, I don't usually prefer this way... but I can't help it. To face him!'
Lee Soo-hyeok's mind was filled with only one person, Jae-hyun.
He saved himself during the outdoor training camp and won a recent match. A rival who does not recognize himself at the same age as himself.
He was considered as an object that Lee Soo-hyeok had to overcome before he knew it.
But it was the same for Ahn Ho-yeon.
―Active skill 《Fire Strike》.
Lee Soo-hyuk's attack was fired at Ho-yeon Ahn, but Ho-yeon An accurately blocked it.
Blue White Sword. It was removing the flames with the power of stronger blue flames.
“It’s me who gets to the semifinals.”
Lee Soo-hyeok said that and gave strength to the staff he held.
Increases the power of the flame magic you activate. It was at least a level of A-level magic.
―Active skill ?Gust Storm?.
Gust Storm.
This was Lee Soo-hyeok's wind attribute magic. An A-level skill that attacks enemies using wind-attribute mana that can be changed freely.
It was a magic that Lee Soo-hyeok diligently practiced to catch Ahn Ho-yeon.
‘This would be dangerous if hit directly.'
He didn't know for sure because his knowledge of magic wasn't that great, but Ahn Ho-yeon knew that it was dangerous even when he looked at it.
however.
“no.”
Suddenly, Ahn Ho-yeon's voice was heard and goose bumps ran through Lee Soo-hyuk's body.
The place where Ahn Ho-yeon's voice came from. It was too close.
‘Where are you? Where is it coming from!?'
At that moment, Lee Soo-hyeok had no choice but to realize that it was already too late.
Ahn Ho-yeon's position. It was targeting the most vulnerable part of the wizard.
close range. Specifically... the back of the neck.
At that moment, only one sentence ran down Lee Soo-hyuk's back.
If you move here,
you die.
Then, the barrier vest was hit accurately and his body flew forward and was pierced.
Ahn Ho-yeon then continued the rest.
“It has to be me fighting Jaehyun. There is something I must get back.”
“The first match of the semi-finals is over! The winner is Ahn Ho-yeon!”
At that moment, a smile crept across Jaehyun's lips as he looked down from the crowd.
My heart started pounding like crazy.
Yes, that's your will.
How much can you please me this time?
