Roman Dmitry's People (3)

Henderson.

If he had been a mere obscure person, people would not have been so surprised.

Aside from the fact that he did not have a reputation as a prosecutor, there were many people who remembered his peasant days.

murmur murmur.

"Is that Henderson?"

"Henderson beat Knight Taylor!"

"Aren't we wrong now? Aura said that it takes more than a year just to feel the 'mana'. But how does Henderson, who was farming with us, know how to use the aura?"

Everyone was bewildered.

Henderson is a familiar figure.

When Roman Dmitry suddenly grew up, he didn't know everything about him and had to accept reality outside of common sense, but there were not only a couple of people who experienced Henderson here.

Friends who drank beer together, colleagues who helped out during the busy farming season, and even the elders of the village who watched him grow.

Everyone obviously knows who Henderson is, but that doesn't really make sense.

The day Henderson left Lawrence.

People grabbed him and said,

"Are you really crazy? The caterpillar must eat pine needles to survive. Why would a man who lived his whole life as a farmer come and do such a dangerous job now? Life is not dramatic. A farmer must live and die as a farmer, and a swordsman is a life allowed to those born from birth. I assure you, before half a year is over, you will miss life as a farmer."

That was my last memory with Henderson.

But now.

Henderson broke the Aura test.

Those who spoke harsh words to him stared blankly at Henderson coming down from the stage.

I found out then

While they were repeating the same life over and over again, Henderson followed Roman Dmitry and made a life everyone thought impossible a reality.

For a moment, I felt envious.

But seeing Henderson bowing his head towards Roman Dmitry, there was nothing the people who knew him could do.

Like those who remember Henderson.

There was a class who couldn't hide their embarrassment in the result in front of them.

" It seems like things are going to be weird."

"Didn't Henderson clearly say he was the weakest in the 5th? But how did you defeat the Aura Swordsman?"

"Isn't there going to be an accident where Henderson wins Group 5 like this?"

It was the Northeast Association.

They are Articles 5 and 6.

I was sure of a win for the group that included Henderson and McBurney.

McBurney's early matchup was good, so I thought he might advance to the second or third rounds, but it was different in the case of Henderson, who met the Aura prosecutor from the beginning.

if it goes according to their plans. Henderson had to do nothing against Taylor and had to fall, but unexpectedly he knocked out Taylor in an instant.

The ominousness prevailed.

Viscount Conrad said with a bright face.

"Everyone, don't lose your composure. This is just the beginning. If Henderson wasn't as good at wielding a sword as we think, would Roman Dmitry put him in the competition? This is a natural result. So please wait patiently. You can't win a contest just by winning once or twice, so obviously guys like Henderson will show their limits as the rounds go on."

The corners of my eyes trembled.

he saw it too

The systematic swordsmanship that defeated Taylor had an unbelievable level of perfection from being a commoner.

But what to do?

The competition has started.

There was no way to escape now.

"Trust me. The ultimate winner will be the Northeast Alliance."

Until then.

Swallowing dry saliva, he still couldn't accept the fact that he was wrong.

* * *

Henderson's victory.

Then McBurney won.

McBurney's opponent was not that great of a swordsman, so people were not surprised by the victory of the one-armed swordsman.

2 rounds.

I didn't wait for the next group's turn.

The next round proceeded immediately from the end of the group.

"Son."

Yes.

"Is there any other reason why the competition was so cumbersome when you said you were going to organize the ranks in the northeast area? The aristocrats of the Northeast Association are clever. Even if he didn't win the competition, he wouldn't really bow his head to Dmitry.

It was Baron Romero.

this plan.

It was Roman's idea.

Baron Romero fully supported his son's thoughts, but that didn't make perfect sense.

said Roman.

"I know. The Northeast Alliance are human beings like bats, and no matter how the conversation ends, they cannot bring out their sincerity. But still, I think this is a necessary process. The Northeast Federation is in the complacency of being able to deal with Dmitry with their "strength". The truth is that it is not, but mistakes that result from that confidence may make mistakes that will please the central government."

the northeast area.

The king here is Dmitry.

The Northeast Association thought they were like foxes, so they kept their heads upright.

their modest self-confidence.

was a risk factor.

If there was an actual armed conflict with the Northeast Alliance, the Dmitry family would have no choice but to bear the damage, even if they were victorious.

Because war is war after all.

In the process of completely eradicating forces such as the Northeast Alliance, Dmitry will lose his forces and the forces of the Northeast will retreat one step.

I didn't like it.

Roman hoped to completely engulf the area to the northeast.

father. I do not wish to go to war with the Northeast Alliance. War with them has nothing to gain. Even if I take down the Northeast Alliance and put it under my feet, I cannot raise my voice against the central government, which is the real power of the Kingdom of Cairo. This competition is a device to prevent war. Northeast Association. They must have thought that the fact that the tournament was divided into six groups had a good chance of winning, and that is their humble pride."

three steps.

the second of them

With this operation, the Northeast Alliance will face reality.

"If the Northeast Federation, which is still in a fantasy, is overwhelmingly defeated. If they witness the reality that they can't even compete in a single group, let alone win, only then will they know that they can't get over Dmitry's wall even with the help of the central government. That's when it starts to take control of the northeast area. perfect surrender. When the Northeast Alliance faces the reality, I plan to subdue their softened spirits at once."

His father's expression was not confirmed.

timely.

up the stage.

Kevin was standing up.

* * *

Team 2 Kevin.

He is now uncomfortable with planting.

' I was slower than Chris.'

1st round before.

Chris defeated the enemy in 3 seconds.

The opponent was helpless even though he was a swordsman who could use the aura, and Kevin saw it clearly.

So, I did my best in the first round.

I was planning to take down the opponent faster than Chris, but the opponent blocked the attack just once, and it took 8 seconds.

It was fast enough.

But Kevin was not satisfied with his result.

'Chris is strong. I am not yet his opponent, but I have no intention of accepting reality.'

if.

When people ask who Roman Dmitry's sword is, which one comes to mind first?

It's a simple matter.

Everyone will say Chris.

Chris was considered to be Dmitry's genius swordsman, and in fact, he was showing steps that corresponded to the reason he followed Roman.

The ability to defeat a 3-star aura swordsman with sword-like leadership.

With no opponents except Roman, it is only natural that he is called Roman Dmitry's sword.

However.

Kevin didn't like it.

He started following Roman first, but he didn't like Chris being known as Roman's representative.

'I'm not denying that Chris is my boss. For the sake of my master, I will be a servant faithful to the orders of my superiors, but it is another matter that Chris is mentioned first as Dmitry's sword. I want my master to trust me the most. When you need only one power to solve a problem, I want you to choose me, not Chris.'

Roman Dmitry.

For Kevin, it was heaven.

Kevin always longed for Roman's approval, and he hoped that he would be the best in a position of proof like today.

He was not a competitor with his skills.

3 seconds.

Kevin didn't have the confidence to finish it so quickly.

so that.

I changed my mind.

'I prove my worth in my own way.'

the lord said

Show me your overwhelming abilities.

When he saw the opponent coming up from the other side, Kevin's eyes changed wildly.

* * *

flutter.

The confrontation began.

Kevin's opponent.

Prosecutor Miles of the Northeast Association did his best from the start.

'The opponent is Dmitry's demon. If you don't do your best, you may lose with an ugly appearance.'

Curl rumble.

It caused an aura.

this fight.

A bladeless sword was used.

However, from the moment she used the aura, it was no different from a battle that risked her life.

tap.

Kevin was fast.

With a simple step, he let Miles' attack flow, and he easily blocked the chained attack that hit him straight away.

An aura like Miles rose from Kevin's sword.

Knowing that Kevin already knew how to use an aura, Miles pushed him hard, unmoved.

Kaang!

Kaka Kaka!

It's still early.

It was a match where Miles seemed to have an advantage.

At the unexpected development, the people of the Northeast Alliance clenched their fists, hoping for Miles to win.

That was then.

hook.

Intermittent difference.

Kevin dodged the attack.

Digging forward, he extended his sword and attacked the minute gap.

puck.

"Ugh."

A shock occurred.

He hastily protected himself with an aura, but the shock shook his head as he was hit in the chest next to him.

It wasn't about falling over.

Miles clenched his teeth and attacked Kevin.

Kevin, who came in deep, put the picture in danger, but Miles' attack didn't work at all.

'What a rat-like bastard!'

????????????

The heat was boiling inside.

only one or two steps.

It was his distance with Kevin.

Obviously, it would be difficult to avoid his attack at such a close range, but Kevin showed an acrobatic stance and let the attack flow.

It was an absurd move even though it was a direct confrontation.

Kevin didn't protect himself in the slightest with his aura, and with only one movement he negated all attacks.

It was great guts.

It would have been a huge shock if he allowed an attack like that, but Kevin didn't seem to care at all.

'Take it once.'

tap.

It was this judge's board.

ran boldly.

Even at the cost of giving up his flesh, he intended to take Kevin's bones.

with a bang.

right in front of you.

Kevin's face disappeared.

Protect yourself with an aura for a moment.

perok-

"Big."

Another shock occurred.

The base was not attacked.

But it was a shock enough to make my legs stumble, and I hurriedly looked for Kevin as I stepped backwards.

one step back.

Kevin was there.

Kevin was within Miles' range, so he wasn't allowed time to catch his breath and calm himself down.

From then on, there was no such thing as a plan.

Confrontation by instinct. He swung his sword when he saw it, and raised an aura to protect himself in situations where he was likely to be attacked.

hook!

This time, there was no sensation.

I was annoyed.

Even though they exchange workshops right in front of their noses.

His own attack did not work, and the opponent's attack was helpless.

'Fuck.'

The difference in skill was clear.

Kevin and Miles.

Although the status of Aura may be different, the two showed an overwhelming difference in their abilities.

Just half a year ago, Kevin was just a boy from the slums, but extreme training and experience in war helped him grow.

puck!

" !"

Once again, the shock ran through Miles' mind.

It hurt.

As he staggered back, he suddenly belatedly checked the scene in front of him.

"You must be this bastard."

Kevin.

he took a step back

Until now, he had not been able to grasp the situation properly because he was preparing for the opponent's follow-up attack, but Kevin succeeded in the attack and never showed an attacking appearance.

It was a one-sided joke.

The overt giving Miles time to recover showed that he wasn't doing his best in this showdown.

Chris finished the opponent in 3 seconds.

Seeing that, Kevin changed his mind.

If Chris finished it in a short time.

Kevin did the opposite.

Rather, he showed how great the difference with his opponent was by dragging him on purpose even though he could finish the match.

"This bastard!"

Quiet rumble.

bump

Miles turned on the lights in his eyes and rushed in.

It was a matter of self-esteem.

Regardless of the outcome of defeat, it couldn't collapse like this.

just once.

I just wanted to eat one room at a time.

The sword fluttering with an aura cut through Kevin, but this time, Kevin avoided the attack by taking a step back.

Eyes and eyes met.

revealed a loophole.

If you are attacked like this, you may become crippled.

By the way.

heck.

Kevin left.

didn't attack

Even though his victory was certain, he took a step back and gave Miles time to fix.

in such a situation.

Miles' mentality eventually collapsed.

" I will abstain."

making your opponent give up.

It was Kevin's way.

Kevin didn't finish it quickly, but rather dragged it out for as long as possible, proving the difference between him and his opponent.

Miles collapsed.

The talent of the periphery, who once dreamed of succeeding as a prosecutor, met an insurmountable wall today.

"Round 2 is over. Kevin of the Dmitry family wins and advances to the 3rd round!"

Kevin's victory.

It took about 10 minutes.

It took the longest in the entire competition, but ironically, people were amazed at the time of 10 minutes.

By the way.

Kevin couldn't laugh.

While Kevin fights Miles.

2nd round 5 seconds.

3 rounds 8 seconds.

4 rounds 10 seconds.

In that short time, Chris shocked people by making it to the finals.
