Chapter 98: The Real Enemy

Lifting of the ban โ€“

This is not good news for Amy Ulysses.

Because...... In the upcoming showdown, there are no restrictions on the use of his abilities - that is, he will have to watch out for dozens of sword-wielding ...... at once Bombardment?

It's a headache to think about.

Not to mention that he had to hide the strong physique that came from the blood of the ancestors of the glorious ones, even if he was fighting in a real battle array, he was not sure that he would be able to face dozens of sword-wielding people alone.

That's not a fair showdown, that's looking for death.

At present, this group of newly-born sword-wielding people, in terms of combat experience and combat skills, are all rookies among rookies in front of him, even if he can greatly improve in ten days, he is not afraid at all - but the ability is different, the ability from the stigmata has nothing to do with whether the sword bearer is one seal, two seals, or three seals and four seals, no matter the level of the holder himself, the threat to him is the same.

They are all winners and losers who can instantly change the situation.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the time left for them to familiarize themselves with their abilities is very limited, and even with Garcia's help, they will not be able to develop a mature strategy that can maximize their abilities.

But even then, the odds are slim.

And what he cares about more is ...... What role does Wyman play in this matchup?

The timing was a bit too coincidental.

Yesterday Kozmo had seen Webster walk into the chief examiner's office, and today, he suddenly announced the news that was unusually bad for him.

It's hard not to think about it.

It's just that the ban on lifting the ban on the use and practice of the sword's own abilities by the wielder is definitely not child's play, and this kind of matter involving the major policies of the Order is not something that can be made easier by someone with a pat on the head - he has reason to believe that even with Wyman's status, if he wants to make this ban easier, he must go through a series of administrative procedures, at least a few days of process, and it is absolutely impossible to change it.

It's quite possible that he simply hit the muzzle of the gun.

But is that really the case?

Thinking of the meaningful smile that had crossed glances with the guy earlier, Amy Ulysses wasn't sureโ€”all he could be sure of was that the guy harbored some malice towards him.

It's just that because of the huge disparity in status between the two sides, even if he knows this, he can't, let alone dare to make any moves.

All he could choose was silence.

No, maybe it wasn't just silence, there were other ways for him to learn about Wyman's position.

Inspiration sparked.

The Glory Man rose from his desk, glanced over the rows of bookshelves in the library, squinted, and said hello to Miss Nun, who was in charge of registering the borrowed books, before leaving.

This time, he didn't borrow any books.

Becauseโ€”

There's no room left.

He had to go down and meet Webster, the founder of the "Grand League Against Semitism."

Webster's intelligence is no secret.

In fact, in this training class, no one's intelligence is a secret - the new sword wielders have just undergone the transformation from cadet to warrior, and they need to learn and make up for a lot, a lot, and unfortunately, the ability to gather intelligence and a sense of secrecy are not among them.

At least, not now.

Easily, Amy Ulysses learned about the other party's whereabouts from Rigana.

It is a training ground for practical training classes.

"Garcia. โ€

Whispering the name, the Glory Man probably guessed what Webster was doing over there, but ...... That doesn't excuse him for recusal.

Quite calmly, he stepped over the barriers of the wind and snow and stepped into the training ground built on the permafrost that would not melt all year round, and then stopped under the surprised or hostile gaze of more than a dozen people.

"I'm looking for Webster. โ€

He said, his eyes swept over the faces of the dozen or so people.

There are a total of thirteen people, basically all of them are old faces, and there are only two or three people who are not among the seventeen people last time.

It's not hard to understand.

Alliances, especially loose alliances, actually lack sufficient centripetal force in many cases, and it is easy to produce factions due to entanglements of interests, historical factors and other problems.

The amount in front of him is much less than his previous estimate, and it seems that the previous deterrence should have had the effect it should have.

Thinking of this, the tense muscles on his grim face eased slightly, and he looked at the instructor of the training class, the great sword wielder who was given the title of decapitator.

"Lecturer Garcia, is Webster here?"

He didn't seem to know anything about the treacherous atmosphere of the scene, his demeanor and conversation were not shaken, and the calm made people unconsciously feel cold in his heart: "I have something to do with him." โ€

"I'm here. โ€

Without waiting for the tall and burly instructor of the training class to reply, one of the thirteen people who was conducting the drill came out of the crowd.

Medium stature, wearing a red and black sword-wielding uniform is very decent, the brown broken hair is not long, and the combing is very careful, the facial features are correct, and the face is only medium and upper, but it looks very bookish, and the whole person looks very spiritual.

"I have something I would like to discuss with you in detail about the duel you mentioned in your letter," the Glory One looked him up and down, leaving no room for refusal, and turned straight away, "Follow me." โ€

With the recording of the voice, he took a step.

Three minutes later.

The footsteps stopped, and the two stood opposite each other in the raging wind and snow.

"First meeting, Webster. Amy Ulysses held out her hand to him and said politely, with the same grim and detached look on her face, "I'm Judas." โ€

"Nice to meet you. Webster, the meticulous boy who took care of himself, took his hand of friendship and shook it symbolically, "As much as I would like to say this, we can't be friends from the standpoint of you and me." โ€

"But it shouldn't be an enemy. The Glory One said.

"Who knows," Webster didn't respond positively, just putting the question aside for the time being with an ambiguous answer, "I just know that we still have a matchup that must be decided." โ€

"The fight mentioned in the letter?" Amy shook her head, "I don't think I have made an official reply yet, have I?"

"Fair, just, open," said the founder of the Grand League Against Semitism, "to bring our confrontation to an end in such a showdown, I don't think you would have refused." โ€

"Not necessarily," Amy paused slightly, then wondered, "who would have a losing battle when they had other options?"

"At leastโ€”"

"I won't. โ€

"Sure enough," Webster was not surprised, "you're here for this." โ€

This is a completely guessable thing, as Garcia said, in the battle of the glorious and the sword-wielding, ability is often regarded as the key to the final decision, the winner and the loser - if the ban is still there, everyone depends on their physical fitness, whether it is combat experience, combat skills or combat instincts, Judas, who is almost non-human, even if it is one against ten, the odds of victory are not small.

But when the ban expired, he didn't think it would be easy for anyone in the same period to be able to defeat ten with one, even with one against two, and with one against three.

Because, there is no reason for such a thing as ability.

Just like the fire guns and steam-powered greatswords in the hands of the Holy Cult Army, this type of weapon is not only in the hands of battle-hardened warriors, but even in the hands of children, it is possible to kill demons.

To use this mischievous analogy, the sword-wielders themselves were like men armed with firearms or steam-powered greatswords, and the Stigmata gave them the ability to be a powerful weapon capable of killing their enemies in one blowโ€”the duel he had originally invited was the equivalent of Judas, a trained full-time combatant, going through the siege of a dozen of them in an open-handed fighting arena.

Experience, skill and intuition can make all the difference.

After the ban was lifted, it was equivalent to directly changing the rules of the game, directly removing the restriction of empty-handed combat, and turning it into an unrestricted battle in which everyone was equipped with firearms capable of killing them, and it became a completely unequal battle.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a battle that must be lost.

"That's right," the Glory One said quite calmly, not wanting to hide anything, "that's what I'm here for, and we need to have a charter for this showdown. โ€

"It's a deserved invitation. Webster didn't dwell on that.

"First of all, then," said Amy, "it is necessary to determine when and where the battle will be, who will take part in the battle, and what rules should be followed in the battle." โ€

"The time has been decided, the number of people, on my side, you just saw thirteen people, there will be no more, the specific list will be submitted to the referee for review before the battle officially begins, and the location will be drawn up by you. After a pause, he said, "That's fair, isn't it." โ€

"Not at all," the Honorable One sneered, "when is it fair to fight more and fight less?"

"I have to admit that no one can be your opponent, on a one-to-one basis. The founder of the Anti-Semitic Alliance spread his hands, "Of course, you have the right to refuse." โ€

"The location was chosen at the training ground. Amy shook her head, "There's no need to waste time on unnecessary things. โ€

"Training ground?"

Webster frowned, the training ground as a venue for a duel was actually not a good choice for Judas, because it was too small and empty, and once the handover was short-handed, there was no room for retreat, and he could only fight to the end.

So, again, he asked, "Are you sure?"

"Sure. โ€

"Well," said Webster, "that's it." โ€

"The next thing to determine is the rules that should be followed during the battle," said the young Glory Man, "The weapons and armor can be directly used with the ready-made equipment in the simulated battle in the training class, and the winning or losing is based on the fact that one side falls to the ground and cannot afford to lose, and the side that leaves the field will be judged to lose, and it is forbidden to use any props other than alchemical potions and training equipment, the same ...... It is also forbidden for anyone to use the ability. โ€

"Except for the last point," Webster shook his head, "I don't have any opinion. โ€

"I'm sorry," Amy Ulysses replied with cold words, her blue eyes showing no emotion, "and there's no room for discussion at all. โ€

"Judas, this is not a matter of discussion with you, but a fact that has been drawn up. The founder and de facto controller of the anti-Semitic coalition said, "Wyman, the examiner, he made this request. โ€

"When?" the Glory-Honoring Man narrowed quietly.

"Just yesterday. Webster replied definitely, "Didn't I say it before, and I tried to be fair, impartial, and open in order to ensure credibility, so I went to our chief examinerโ€”and then he told me that he was not satisfied with the plan, and as to what he was not satisfied with, he did not say at the time, but only told me that I would know the answer tomorrow morning." โ€

"Lifting the ban on the ability to lift. Amy Ulysses said word for word.

"That's it," Webster sighed, "so that last point can't be changed in any way." โ€

"I kind of understand. The young Glory Man was unusually calm, "Does he ask for anything other than that?"

"Didn't ask for anything else. โ€

"In that case," Amy decided cleanly, "it's settled." โ€

"What a confidence, Judas. The founder of the Anti-Semitic Alliance sighed, "If you don't think this is a fair matchup, we can discuss some details." โ€

What he said was actually quite straightforward.

What can be discussed? What can be discussed? We can only discuss the number of people, time, and place, and when there is nothing to adjust the time and place, we can only adjust the number of people participating in this showdown, and we can only reduce the number of participants on the side of the "Great League Against Semitism."

Webster's last sentence can be said to release great kindness.

However, the young glory did not accept it.

"Thanks," he said, "but not necessary." โ€

There is no need โ€“

Through today's conversation, he can understand who is the real enemy hiding in the shadows.

His opponent, his enemy is not the "Great League of Anti-Semites" standing on the surface, but the big man who ranks first even in the entire order, the captain of the Sweeper Brigade, the head of the assessment and entry of the sword-wielding in this time, the veteran Wyman, the madman Wyman.

The guy ...... It is quite possible that something has already happened, and he is already suspected.

Soโ€”

It has to be proven, it has to be proven to him, it has to be proven to everyone, it has to be proved that the qualification test has gone wrong.

Only by proving his potential can he prove his worth, and can-

Let this guy be a bogeyman.
