Chapter 69: Night before the Festival (4)

HM86fFBoth the blazing ground and the sky were tainted in red like blood. All the corpses rolling around like pieces of trash were the friends and neighbors of the boy.AZ2B

6UHO“Haht…!”Jx3eBvg
kgJtquKThe burning pain in his heart made the boy wake up from his nightmare. His heart was being scorched and beads of sweat had drenched his entire body.3QjKTg

bgwThis large stadium that was usually only used for prac tests and Academy events was finally fulfilling its original construction purpose.Ikum73
mKoi“Wahhhhh…!”macv

KtNXE7y“Don’t even think about going home today if you lose to Purple Hawk!”UanPX
QAsbETA friendly exchange festival of the two best academies worldwide, Merkarva and Purple Hawk. A total of 200 students from both academies were at the stadium with a bunch of people filling the seats. The tourists bought casual drinks and snacks from wandering sellers while bustling with noise.dbHl
uRU1Em“Kuhum…! Mr. Korin. We might be bashed up by our seniors if we lose this!”jpxE
Wdfr“They probably will punch you.”Ff0k4
DdFU“…Actually?”apdrll4
lPfIt was a friendly event but it still concerned the pride of each academy. The younger students would be scolded by their seniors if they lost in their fights.gxIHKYh
JDx2On the commentary seats of the festival venue were Professor Edgar from the Magic Department and Old Man Haman of the Knight Department.13w
9e5“Hello, fellow citizens of the El Rath Kingdom. An amazing battle is currently underway right as we speak!”jIQZ
0akg8“Amazing battle? It’s just a talent show of immature kids.”p5uaB
9dE“…Please stick to the script, sir.”m9wOKfQ
W9HRBy the way, recorded clips and commentary audios were also sold to the people outside, and a premium price was attached to more eye-catching battles.WDN

PYNT– Pak! Pabak!v7XcWxR
XzPOn the wide battlefield, Alicia was being pushed back by the fierce set of attacks of the two Purple Hawk students.7NIkYD
8H4tw88“Their teamwork is pretty good. As expected of twins.”dmvggCy
KMENm8HOur opponent was the Chen siblings, Grade 2 twins of the Purple Hawk Academy, who only showed up after the 3rd round in the game. It seemed that luck wasn’t on our side today, considering how we met them in the 1st round.enVLAU
twp“Mr. Koriiiinnn…!”PexbfY
eGdvT“Don’t worry, you’re not gonna die. We have non-lethalizing spells and you have an HP bar as well.”tq8Q5O
u7c35G“Ahh, seriously!”trR
euHIn this festival, all the students had bracelets that gauged their HP. It was over if it went below a certain level, and it was a safer method of telling the victor.gKEOoZ
PvJxEt“F, first I need some distance…!”C1o
xHJLE6Alicia tried to retreat away from the attacks of the Talisman Mage, Liyen, but something light touched her on her back.mFW
wYvKBT– Kwaang!jw9
RxEYmGAfter coming into contact with Alicia’s back, the floating talisman immediately exploded like a bomb. It was an invisible explosion talisman.lMnp
5AqU“Kyaaht…!”CS91G
y82QSAlicia’s body was pushed forward by the smoke of the explosion. As if he had been waiting for it, Chen, the Dual Wielder, let out a sharp stab with his swords but she dodged it by rolling on the ground.453L
6Ej“Oi~. Alicia, you have less than half of your HP left.”sanoEO
ejQ“W, whose fault do you think that is, huh? Whose fault?”5Iyl
loKQiD“It’s because you’re not strong enough.”lXbG
G1pxJI“Eeeek…!”FzJ
M78zNChen, the Duel Wielder, and Liyen the Talisman Mage – Chen pressured Alicia while the trap of talismans limited her movement. Even though they were Grade 2 guardians, their teamwork allowed them to fight on equal grounds with most semi-Grade 1 guardians.4iF3FLU
BT6p8YLHoh?2qOEH
pmqpbLiyen used the pebbles created from the battle and attached a talisman to it before throwing it at Alicia. I guess that was also a viable fighting method – maybe I should try something similar later with runes.tAKz
yXQNVq“Mr. Korin? Can you please help me instead of just watching?!”6kP
PRuIDAlicia was being very noisy for a while. She had exceptional burst potential but was always subpar when it came to the fundamental and basic skills.MeL6P
zeaSPb“Alicia. You’re talented at coming up with tactics on the spot. Analyze the opponent and come up with a strategy.”RX5
L054ixw“This is not funny! Are you seriously not going to help?”fpvFMZ
RUEAt a glance, it might seem like I was teasing Alicia, and I really was teasing her, but there was a reason why I wasn’t actively taking part.nzPo7
W0Kg‘I knew it. They’re there.’T1r5
DErwThere was a section in the seats that was designated for the students of Purple Hawk Academy, and on those seats were the three people that needed the most amount of attention.Ca7p
6fFqK2Senior Professor Kang Ryun, student council president Kang Yuhua and the highest-achieving 2nd-year student, Sa Jinhyuk.93FDEZH
6C9oM‘I can’t reveal all of my skills just yet.’ltc
PrsCvIn this festival, the individual, doubles and group events were carried out in rotation, which meant that there was a lot of time for people to observe others. My plan was to hide as many skills as I could from them until the very end. Even if I were to step up, I had to reveal as little as possible.DnIyo
1abUgmKang Yuhua was the strongest student from Purple Hawk but… the Trampling Warhound, Sa Jinhyuk was like a rugby ball that could bounce anywhere, so I needed to keep him at bay all the time.rDE7aE
LCBUkI might have lost in the last iteration, but things might not be the same this time around.9FUlkmA
6BiSXhThis time, there was no Mr. Park to stop Kang Yuhua but…v1FslEe
0nWQ“You have my trust, Alicia.”TQzZK4
RuYu“S, stop talking to me!”pXop
P6XVslEven though she was True Alicia now, she was still very unreliable.dchC
zYv6br“Alicia. Can you not beat them without using the Domain?”fxJxWGM
QZ8“I can’t! I seriously cannot! Like, I can somehow win but the next fight will be a problem!”3CZbh
SkT73Zu“…”hOj
F5XSThe one who responded to her words were the Chen siblings.7Nbk
Mi6P4dIt was understandable though, because it sounded like Alicia was certain that she could defeat them by herself.0l886ct

byXYTh‘I guess she’ll somehow be able to defeat them.’soTyR6
7FV0C3sAlicia was the physically strongest student out of all the named freshmen characters except for Hua Ran. She also had exceptional talents at the sword. Even though she had no experience and was having trouble, it would still be difficult for students of her age to beat her.VePF
NGC“Alicia. Who’s the tougher one to deal with?”5fVFg
QBDe“T, talisman! The lady who uses the talisman! Please! Hurry up!”53RRb2
AyzfG38“Okay. I can do that for you.”VZkBGr3
OMwwjpFShe had the right to complain since I was making it sound like I was doing a favor despite this being a doubles event, but Alicia simply shouted, ‘Thank you!’ on repeat with a brighter look on her face.8TrrUR
OgQt“Hmph! This is doubles. As if I would do a 1 on 1 with you…!?”qQ22
PV6Liyen, the Talisman Mage, scoffed at me who finally decided to participate in the battle, before getting into the reactable range of Chen, the Dual Wielder. They were going to induce a 2v2 battle.ZVtZv
t0LsThat was the textbook approach but there was no reason for me to be pulled into their pace. I recklessly marched forward to strike Liyen.tyH
uUup4“You fool!”kDn1w
dL7Liyen had a wide smile on her face as if that straightforward charge was all according to plan, which was probably because of the invisible talisman between me and her.Z07
47cHZThe explosion talisman was Liyen’s forte which she had been using to harass Alicia the whole time. The way to counter it was to run away from the range of the explosion or approach before the explosion and…OJ8c8

rgSI0eWI sliced the talisman apart. The rotating spearhead of Spinning Heaven slashed through the talisman and canceled its invisibility as well as its explosion.fxwQVkj
N7jIt was set with a reactive formula that made the talisman explode after sensing my approach instead of Liyen activating it with a remote controller. Since it was automated, there was no room for her to activate it by prediction which ended up giving me the upper hand.NKQXOE
5GiAHZT“H, how did you see through the invisibility…!?”5WV
e0b“It’s a good idea, but you’re abusing it way too much.”1aMK0F
1bldkXAn explosive spell like this was similar to Othello. You couldn’t put multiple disks in one place and she probably didn’t have an unlimited number of them either.jIor
f8jGjWtWhether invisible or not, working your way through it was not that difficult as long as you could see through the opponent’s fighting style.1AbB
fSHuh“Chen!”U1j9
AhJAiIn a fluster, Liyen called her older twin brother. However, Chen couldn’t help but stop his feet from a foreboding sensation behind his back which he got immediately after turning around to help his sister.l9sNmO
rTUy1O“Uhk…!”GRgQp
6aE78XThere was no way you could show your back to the swordsman called Alicia Arden without getting punished.3RU

H1NsJAVThe ear-splitting javelin grazed past her chin. Even though the spear had been turned non-lethal, that noise and penetrating power was enough to make her lose the will to fight anymore.B7Fj0u3
yk9fNLiyen lost power in her legs and fell on her bum.sEAE
ZGkOipq“Liyen…!”5alvnlf
JpMIn a hurry, Chen activated the secret talismans that were tied on his arms and legs. By momentarily enhancing his body with the talismans, he wanted to defeat Alicia before it turned into a 2v1.yWKk

F7ov“I heard she was the Sword Emperor’s granddaughter but that’s less than what I expected, right, Big Sister?”xou5j
IW5Yj7On the VIP seats of the arena, Sa Jinhyuk took a sip of his soft drink while munching on popcorn.YRmFVZ
5lB0“Indeed, she gave off the feeling that she slightly lacked the basics.”XIGiuc
zqZyHf8Alicia Arden was the direct descendent of Sword Emperor Garrand Arden, who was the dream goal and aspiration of every swordsman. Since her sister, Lunia Arden, was also the Sword Master and one of the strongest people of the generation, their expectations were bound to be high despite coming from a different continent.QWJ
euOEven though Alicia did beat her sister, she was still very lacking compared to Sword Master Lunia Arden, but what caught their eyes more was her partner.fUfZR3
8Ax“Hyuk. Do you know who that spear-using student is?”TKwmNCq
FY1“You felt it too? He’s the real deal.”6JDuN
t4yHc4z“Yes. I heard he was a Grade 5 Knight until recently but…”etaBgfg
JCk295Before coming here for the festival, Yuhua had been considering 2 people as her greatest contenders.2d4
PsmwBerserk Warrior, Beazeker.dUP75Bo
ahR2rNaVampire, Marie Dunareff.mfFbmk
aa9They were both incredibly famous for being the representative Grade 1 guardians of this generation, which was why Yuhua had been the most concerned about the two.4KKN4e
PvowgHowever, Korin Lork was a formidable foe as well.frjb
0UZpcOGBreath, sense, and gaze.i4O7X
uCIAlthough it looked like he was playing around at the start of the fight, his eyes were piercing through the Chen siblings. While watching the struggle of his ally, he had been coming up with a counter-plan for the two.E8McOAh
Xbr“If the Chen siblings fought against Korin Lork 2v1, how long do you think they would have lasted?” Yuhua asked.Xdgjn3E
sMsz“Maybe 2 minutes? That guy broke through Liyen’s talismans with just 2 moves. If they fought from the start, it would have taken him less than 2 minutes.”RwWEdN
tUmMoFHe was strong, but what was even more impressive was his experienced analysis skills. In that short time frame, he worked his way around the invisible talismans and defeated Liyen, which was a difficult feat even for most veteran knights.PuIT
w19C7s“It would be a pain if we come across him in the group event. A clever type like him is more impactful in group battles.”jBS2T
HmwwF8hHidden in the group event was the formation that would answer their long-time wish. They hoped he wouldn’t be a hindrance to the plan.fZXEnH
SSPX“Nn?”FpXARG
jE13yqThat was when Jinhyuk spotted someone familiar in the corner of his eyes. He knew he shouldn’t but… his body moved before he could rationally think about his actions.wY7abrr
kvId“Hyuk?”Iic
4EcHPHe escaped the crowd like a bewitched person, with Yuhua following from behind.qrJ

97s6O“Noisy.”macz
r2nHua Ran closed the exercise book that contained her neat handwriting. She was sitting on the seats of the festival hall because she was forced to participate, but this was certainly not the best atmosphere to study in.twS
EeXz8qFor her, who preferred quiet places, the heat, passion, and cheers of the festival hall were things that she wasn’t fond of.WlR
8NB30Thinking that this should be enough of a stay, Hua Ran left the hall and walked across the broad roads of the Academy.HRgF9Bn
5RUSbMost of the people were gathered in the festival hall which made the Academy feel more desolate than usual. Overall, the scenery of the Academy that was enjoying the advanced civilization of modern times, appeared similar to the city in her memories.ag5
Do2Dt9p“…”6vlO6n
3qRSsGWhen she closed and reopened her eyes, the peaceful scenery of the Academy was immediately swept away by flames and ashes. It overlapped with the scenery in her memories.6eZQ
wM5Hv3SThe survivors were screaming; corpses were forming mountains. Her own body traversing through that horrible scene was drenched in blood and ashes.z0fT1
e8IxjFn『Kill them. Kill everyone that you see.』EYT
QTRlThat was the day she became a Yaksha…1OqPcc
NXu9A9– Kagak!oVJ71L
bN0iiAVIt was then. A human figure raced towards her. It happened in a matter of milliseconds.SIdHX
DVlLTDRight when her mind shifted away;qHW88
Ux8GGWhen she was just about to breathe;Uy6Zr5u
YRxShlAnd when she just turned her eyes away.yQvCLX
WYmlKdIt was definitely an ambush and an attempt to catch her off guard. The assailant stopped on the spot after trampling on the ground and used the other leg to carry out a powerful kick with the momentum of the charge.IkRp
h1zlSygThe attack was so fast and instantaneous that nobody would notice it.g2It
zCp“You.”0xk
LhwSFcWHowever, the beast reacted even to an attack that fast. Hua Ran’s instinctive senses as a beast were close to foresight and she was incredibly sensitive to any killing intent facing her.8fcS9g
JyJShe pondered how to react to this attack.GQOlix
RzEIt was a high kick that was strong enough to immediately crush the throat and collarbone but… even an ambush of this degree wouldn’t be able to harm a hair on her body.RH8
d0PnokThe attack would leave no injuries. It was a meaningless attack that would not be able to shake the unbreakable status of her body.dgTa
IHKMmpX“Go away.”cbX6l5f
7CwtRJTShe flicked the air-shredding kick away as if it was a bug. That alone would probably snap the cartilage of the assailant, but she considered it a cheap price for an ambush.E75sY2L
rRMyBn– Bam!Sj3QJm2
whNEPSHHua Ran flicked her finger. However, her attack that should have bursted one of the legs of the assailant met nothing but thin air.EY8KR
FRsMaju“…?”7zcSq
9le9chgHer finger flick in the air made one of the nearby trees fall as well as its leaves. Only after hearing the crumbling noise of a tree did she realize that her finger hadn’t found a target.zOyIRIq
j4xZZ6Was that an illusion? But how could she mistake such an intense burst of killing intent?HFddqIv
qLo57“Wow~. Look at that.”oaw
FLBtSeeing the fallen tree, a boy nonchalantly commented with a whistle. Soon, Hua Ran’s eyes turned to the face of the speaker.FqAHZM0
6tyDG6o“You…”vdKXt20
tgeFSThe person at the end of her gaze was a boy who had features that looked as ‘ominous’, or rather, as ‘impressive’ as her own crimson eyes. His jet-black eyes were the standard color for anyone from the eastern continent, but his white and bleached hair signaled his inauspicious lack of melanin.pU6C
6zmyC“Do you know me?”EAz1p
h8Fv1BEHe looked so memorable that it would be hard to forget after seeing once but Hua Ran had no memories of that boy. But even so, for some reason, he felt rather familiar and…C6O
XJmwf『I will kill you! No matter what, I will definitely kill you with my own hands!』77vL
GL9G“Ugh…!”K3qAV
Y3XsEHis eyes suddenly overlapped with a pair of eyes that used to glare at her through the sea of flames. It was from the tragedy 1 year ago, but she still couldn’t remember him.jf8Iu1K
L0xv5“No. It’s your first time seeing me, Sister.”vDC9
I90h“…I see.”ph1
A1Ju2Hua Ran was slightly curious about the boy but she didn’t feel the drive to delve deeper into his identity.uaepwJ
F61pLassitude and laziness were innate traits of a Jiangshi, and her Unbreakable Vajra Body that made it impossible to get hurt by anyone also contributed to her tendency to observe everything happening nearby without taking part in them.PnhxRYD
TPhxAfter Hua Ran walked away while leaving behind the poor fallen tree, a girl wearing a martial uniform suddenly appeared next to the white-haired boy.p31vd
5da8kcJIt was such a silent and ‘weightless’ land that it barely even reached the sensitive ears of the boy, but the boy immediately realized who that person was without even needing to turn around.tN1F12a
sCTZ“That was way too reckless.”sHT
bUvwb6“But thanks to that, I was able to prove that Master’s ‘Eight Gates Formation’ works in interpersonal fights… even against that monster.”V8F
wOyeD“That doesn’t mean you should have done this in broad daylight.”ziu
nH81ki8The monster with an unbreakable body – the masterpiece of spiritualists. In order to seal that monster and save Ran, they needed to form the ❰Eight Gates Sealing Formation: Evil Extermination❱.yiIas
vyABIThey needed to wait for the right chance before stimulating the Yaksha. Although Yuhua was just as desperate about this plan as Jinhyuk, she persuaded her martial younger brother who was 1 year younger than herself.FieIfZI
3Rz“You should hold your breath and wait for now. As soon as we get rid of Hua, that evil thing, away from Ran, you can do whatever you want.”5BmLq
v4byjKw“I know that, Big Sister. I’m not going to ruin the plan or anything.”qlBU
ObIdmThe articles that were going to be used to form that phenomenal formation were due to arrive tonight by the hands of their collaborators.2fG
RMNLHowever, what they weren’t expecting was that those items that should have been carefully smuggled into the city by their collaborators were sitting under the gaze of someone else.llt
Ilh2zdw****4r6ib
AQGTyNCarriage platform Tiran, which led to the eastern gates of Merkarva City, was closer to a platform for commodities and items instead of one for passengers.MVSAbH
LGpGA large number of the items entering Merkarva City went through this platform of Tiran. Most of the things related to food entered through the southern gate whereas the east was mainly for valuables and imported goods.B7O
Z5j“Phew~. This is from Xeruem, right? Why are those priests bringing so many things with them?”3Jelro
prZxRbaOne of the guards of the platform, Aaron, commented in awe while looking at the cross-shaped carriages entering the parking lot. A lot of goods that were imported through Tiran Platform were those that came from the holy land of Xeruem, which existed on the eastern side of the kingdom.Kf5QB
IDKjDikto, his colleague, replied to his question.ymvhMBB
eDNI2t“Maybe these are for the Templar Knights? I heard a few of them are visiting the city because of the festival.”Us19RG9
1Bj“I guess bringing all the equipment in person would be quite a daunting task indeed.”8gqk
9FIA6f“One of my friends runs a bakery at Eitan Platform on the western side, and you know what? It’s also insane on that end. Apparently there’s a whole bunch of Redemption Knights.”Ch5
R7uKrp2“Hoh… damn.”7PAtJC
voFThe Templar Knights were the Old Faith’s symbol of strength, whereas the Redemption Knights were those of the New Faith. It was obvious why the representative military groups of the two religions would come at the same time.Zuz
oLIir61“They’re still at it huh.”PEE
KhSH“I guess there’s nothing as eye-catching as the Academy festival, so it makes sense why they would have a war of pride here.”Wf1fgdc
ObsfThe religious revolution that happened due to the aftermath of the witch hunt 100 years ago led to the decline of the Old Faith and the rapid rise of the New Faith. The religious stand-off divided the continent into two which almost led to a war of religions.xbebk
O9nIf not for the mediation of Biren the previous previous chairman of Merkarva Academy, this continent would have been swept away by a religious campaign.2Qo8
pwDd2udWell, the Old Faith was probably greatly irritated, considering how Chairman Biren and Senior Professor Josephine were the greatest contributors to bringing down the power of the Old Faith, but there was nothing they could do back then.Dwrm
PZ4GakV“Anyway, do we really have to protect all these items? What kind of crazy person would touch the items of Templar Knights?”ghdsPQH
oYfQa“I know, right? Let’s just pretend like we’re working and sleep in the office or something.”Q7yiT
AE056l3Although the Old Faith was in a decline, their madness and rigidity was still infamous across the continent. Who would dare touch the supplies of the Old Faith let alone the equipment of Templar Knights, considering how they were still one of the greatest powerhouses of the continent? Unless they were crazy or something…ZVeSmq
YolEE2U“Oh…? Aaron. What do you think that is?”E4k
OrugHDikto tilted his head and asked while staring into the layer of dust in the distance. Under the dark curtain of night, they spotted faint shapes behind a cloud of dust.NLbg
aNg7cK“…Are those horses?”QladRe
rRDRight – dozens of people wearing horses were marching towards them.U7y
pQhSY“Guys, attack!”Om7u7VJ
4yxPu00“This is all money!”pnszJSe
l9Mv“W, what? What are these guys…?!”J916d
N1KmQRThe ones that suddenly attacked the platform were some mounted bandits. They had more than dozens of men on their side.CNf
4AI– Ding! Ding! Ding!DGhzK
CO4ckipA warning bell echoed across the platform. A bunch of guards would soon be coming out so the bandits themselves weren’t a problem but…Fh05
ML95“Boss Rickie! Look at this! There’s a whole bunch of goodies that look expensive!”YK61
hC5E“Good. That’s exactly like what we heard. Take everything you can!”6gbnX
xvJ“T, these guys must be mad!!”abPl
kyGxdThe mounted bandits started stealing goods from the carriages parked by the Old Faith, ranging from expensive silk to porcelain with eastern patterns and ornaments of jade, which were inside the carriage for some reason.02DQoU
xv9sVi“Stop those bandits right now!”mTQ
YSa9bSoon, the guards arrived but the bandits did not bother wasting time like fools by trying to fight against them. After taking whatever they could, they got back on their horses for a rapid escape.X7GS
dfw“Toss your oil bottles! Burn the rest! They’ll have their hands full on turning off the fire so they won’t have time to chase after us!”o4db
jwtPiIW“As expected of Boss! Fellows, use your oils!”Zd8l
yBs8D“N, noo!”RtDmR8
JJdThe bottles of oil immediately drenched the carriages. Before long, matchsticks were thrown to the puddles of oil as a sea of flames devoured the carriages of the Old Faith.PWX6
K9G0That day, all the 9 Old Faith carriages from Xeruem were burned down and quite a lot of items were stolen.FcCwqHU
OyET8By the time they realized that the culprits were remaining members of the Black Star Group that was recently demolished by a student from the Academy, the bandits had already long escaped to the north, away from their pursuers.GQM26
