Section 57. Wonderful first scene
"How did that guy ...... in the first game"
The Bell Gordon Knight Academy players' bench, the elite knights who were ready to eliminate everyone except Annan kept retreating, being blocked by their companions.
"It's okay, consume him!"
"That guy only casts four spells, and there are eight of us!"
"Eru, you don't even have the ability to get a warlock to cast spells, do you?"
The "encouragement" of his companions failed to motivate him. The instructor patted him on the shoulder at this point: "You can lose." ”
Eru Calder froze.
"Countless nobles are optimistic about this young man from the North, and even the Winter Sect is preparing to contact him, believing that he has the potential to grow into a legend.
"Biography...... Legendary ......"
The instructor's words made Eru Karl flinch, recalling the Academy's descriptions of spellcasters, such as becoming a legendary mage who resurrects a former enemy and knocking him to death, and becoming a legendary wizard who resurrects the direct female ancestors of his former enemies and takes them into slavery......
"Take it easy, Eru. Let him cast a spell once and your mission will be completed, let him cast a spell twice and the whole Belgordon will be proud. ”
"Really?"
Eru looked up.
The reputation of the Bell Gordon Knight Academy may be so bad that the locals like to laugh at "What do you think of the chivalry of the Bel Gordon Knight Academy?" We can't evaluate what we don't have," but the students were proud of the academy and thought that two innovative additions were made to the knight's creed: respect for opponents and use of wisdom.
"Really."
The instructor replied solemnly.
Eru Calder puffed up his chest and looked at the man who had entered the arena.
Let him cast two spells and be a success!
On the eve of the battle, the Minister of Imperial Ceremonies gave another speech, announcing the first match of the Top 10 Tournament: Annan Reeves vs. Eru Calder.
Annan wore a "jewel star" cloak and looked at the knight standing 50 yards away. He was sweating profusely and holding his bayonet sword, as if he would be disarmed from his weapon because he was sweating too much.
"What's your name?"
Casting a spell twice is considered a success...... Casting a spell twice is considered a success...... Cast......
"Two times is a success!"
"What a strange name." Annan casts a spell, first releasing a large earth elemental and greeting.
It's not time for the Elemental Legion to come into play...... Even Martin wouldn't have smashed two kings at the beginning.
"Once!"
As a result, the knight, Eru Calder, shouted excitedly.
A ground spike emerges from the ground, and Eru Calder leaps out of the way, encountering a large earth elemental.
He did not have the heaviness and strength of a knight. Dominated by dexterity, it surrounds large earth elements, like a diligent gardener pruning branches. Ignoring the shortcomings of not having a large earth element recovering quickly, it is very ornamental.
"Where's your combat skills?"
Annan watched as he watched as a close-up spectator fought the earth elementals.
Eru Calder was silent, but began to look at Annan frequently, as if he wanted to leave his skills to him.
"It's not a good idea, you can still play in front of the audience, but rushing to me will only be eliminated in an instant."
Bearing the backlash of the earth element, Eru Calder gritted his teeth. He won't be able to hold out for much longer......
"Give it a try and you'll find out." Eru Calder began to look for opportunities.
"If you release your skills first, I can also eliminate you."
Eru Calder is starting to lose his fighting spirit.
At some point, Eru Calder suddenly blessed his heart and lowered his voice: "You want money, right?" I'll give you money, as long as you-"
"I refuse."
Annan knew what he was going to say, "But I can make your loss look better." ”
Eru Calder was silent for a moment: "...... How nice is it? ”
"'Even if I succeeded twice, I struggled to support under the surging offensive of Annam, and dealt with several large water elementals on my own. How about the script of finally defeating them but losing because of exhaustion'? ”
"Twice a success? My name is Eru Calder! ”
"Then change to 'Eru Calder hard work', how much can you pay for it?"
Eru Calder unknowingly conspired with Annan while scraping a large earth element: "100 gold coins? ”
"Earth elemental, stun him."
"Wait! I want to think about it...... How about 300 gold? ”
"Is today a joke festival? Do you know how many aristocratic rich people sat in this gladiatorial arena? ”
"I'll give you 500 gold!"
"Less...... 1000 gold, I'll release four more large elementals, and then let you defeat them, and then say a word of praise to you myself. ”
"I don't have that many ...... I can get up to 700 gold coins......"
"Deal."
Annan began to chant, summoning four large water elementals again in a converging exclamation over the arena.
"Use all your strength but don't hit, he will blow up wherever he stabs."
Teaching the water elemental what to do, Annan looked at Eru Calder who was surprised: "Next is your stage." ”
"Good!"
Then the audience saw that the battle did not end quickly because of the addition of the water elemental, and the five elites of the same level made Eru Calder burst into a fierce will to fight, narrowly dodging the elementals' attacks several times, and then slicing their bodies open.
"I retract my prejudice against Bel Gordon." In the Agate Knight Academy player seat, captain Bedder said seriously: "They didn't abandon chivalry. ”
The Bell Gordon Knight Academy was equally surprised.
"We didn't know Eru was so powerful......"
"I can't hold on......"
After leaving a hole in the earth elemental's stone armor once more, Eru Calder let out a cry that could be heard by the front row audience, "Let my last skill end the fight!" Rapidly...... Stabbing! ”
Eru Calder's sword and right hand flickered into afterimages, and with his dexterous streak, he wandered between the five elements. The water elemental explodes in a large splash of water and retreats into the open portal.
Eru Calder held out for only three seconds before his sword fell, raising his left hand in a precarious manner. "I throw in the towel!"
"You won...... I can't beat the legends of the future......"
"Don't give up, I'm waiting for the day you become a legend."
Their conversation echoed over the arena that had fallen into silence.
"Legendary? I? ”
Annan stepped up to Eru Calder and held out his palm to him: "A knight who doesn't want to be a legend is not a good knight. ”
Eru Calder was stunned, gratefully and relieved to hold Annan's outstretched hand.
The hustle and bustle of the gladiatorial arena rose into the air and reverberated throughout the middle area.
The crowd did not hesitate to applaud the players, who contributed a wonderful opening to the Top 10 Tournament.
Except for that cape.
Even Flanda, who was sitting next to Isabel, thought so.
In the front row of the Colosseum, an area protected by a legendary magic shield.
The figures in the seats whispered, and comments such as "too ugly", "uglier than the nobility", and "res should be damned" drifted in the wind.
