The quarter-final matchup, which was decorated all over the posters of the imperial capital, created a huge topic in itself. Above all, the expectations of those watching the game were infinitely high as a civil war broke out in the Central Academy from the first match of the quarterfinals.

-The cadet who originally entered Central Academy as the top cadet was Leonhard Loriant.

– Han Cheon-seong, currently the representative cadet of the Central Academy.

The first match between the two had something in itself that overwhelmed the other matches.

And the cadets who advanced to the quarterfinals who were watching were also more surprised than ever.

… … .

Sreuk.

Even as I clutched the match list that had been delivered to me, I had a hard time believing it.

‘why.’

Was the matchup structured like this? I didn’t know that if I said something was particularly strange, it might not be that strange.

Due to the asymmetrical power of Central Academy, which reached the quarterfinals, a civil war is inevitable.

I also prepared to some extent.

And I also thought about it.

“… … .”

however. When I actually looked at the bracket, I was speechless.

Beyond the embarrassment that filled my heart, it was absurd. Without realizing it, I turned my head and gave him a look.

Upon hearing the news that the bracket had been announced, all the cadets at the Central Academy gathered together.

And of course among them.

“In the end, this is what happens.”

Rather, there was Leonhard, who spoke calmly.

“… … .”

Even as I looked at him, I unconsciously hesitated with my lips. An indescribable emotion lingered in my heart, and it felt as if even my hair was turning white.

‘The fate of this world… … .’

Some time has passed since I realized that my bias was towards me rather than Leonhard. However, that said, I never thought that Leonhard was someone who could be left lost and wandering.

The main character in the story.

Therefore, I have witnessed his brilliant talent and potential many times in this world.

Even though he lost his characteristics due to an unfortunate accident, he regained his strength through absolute will.

It was a ‘miracle’ that was only possible with the absolute will of Leonhard himself, no matter how much help there was from those around him.

however.

‘My opponent in the quarterfinals is Leonhard.’

It was so different from what I expected.

I thought that Leonhard would rapidly evolve his strength and gain a lot through this Grand Colosseum.

So, I had a strange thought that my semifinal or final opponent would be Leonhard.

To put it bluntly, it was too fast.

I thought that even if I did meet him, I wouldn’t be at the stage right now to face Leonhard… … .

“In some ways, this is a very shocking match-up.”

At Azazel’s lightly-sounding words, my eyes turned to her in a daze.

There didn’t seem to be any tension as he smiled leisurely while looking at the match-up given to him between his long black hair.

At that, I opened my mouth creakingly and let out a light breath.

“…Leonhardt.”

Then he turned his gaze and looked at Leonhard again.

“uh. “Han Cheon-seong.”

There was no hesitation in the calm voice that answered.

He’s just facing me as if I thought this could be the case.

“Tomorrow’s game… let’s face each other without regrets.”

And that was all I could say to him.

No other words were said. The lineup cannot be changed, and each side must do their best in the given game.

“Thank you for saying that. Tomorrow, I will face you with all my heart. Honestly, I thought I was going to end up with you in this competition. I didn’t know it would happen this early. “This must be the established reality.”

I felt like I would be overwhelmed for a moment by Leonhard’s eyes as he stared at me calmly but with intense power.

‘what?’

Something about him felt different.

Until just yesterday, I faced Leonhard at the Colosseum. That’s why I knew early on what kind of unique spirit he felt.

But now the momentum was completely different.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Just by making eye contact, I felt a sharpness that felt like I would be cut by something sharp.

“i think so too. “I wanted to meet you at a higher place.”

Even as I answered blankly, my mind was filled with a strange sense of tension.

What suddenly filled me was the thought that this could not be possible.

‘Not in previous games… … .’

Leonhard may have discovered a new power on his own.

As there was no game that could be called a crisis, I thought there was nothing for Leonhard to develop his strength like in the game.

But if that weren’t the case, I couldn’t explain the inexplicable energy I was feeling from Leonhard right now.

“Then I’ll look forward to it tomorrow.”

Afterwards, Leonhard left the place with a faint smile.

Jerk.

Even as I looked at the guy’s back, I could hardly take my eyes off him.

No way – the thought was nothing more than an assumption.

What came to mind was just a possibility. That too was a very slim possibility. However, if Leonhard had really realized something as I thought, I could not let down my guard at all.

“… … “Han Cheon-seong.”

“ah. “Milia.”

“I’m very disappointed that our academy civil war broke out, but I still think you’ll do really well in tomorrow’s game. But I think a little differently.”

“What other thoughts… … .”

As I stared at Millia in my complicated thoughts about Leonhard, she was staring at me with transparent eyes.

It was a look that seemed to contain a little worry.

“Even if it is you, Leonhard must be dealt with with all your might.”

“Of course I think so.”

I ended up smiling and answering without thinking. Coming into the game, I had no intention of conserving my strength against Leonhard.

That’s something I felt strongly just a little while ago.

Leonhard’s unknown talent. Why did he have to be the main character in this work? My heart was definitely tense as it felt like I was going to get cut for a moment.

‘But I can’t believe I’m taking care of him.’

That was truly impossible.

“I want you to go all out from the beginning.”

Still, I was a little surprised when Millia continued speaking.

“… … Millia. “Why are you saying that?”

“As much as I think you are a genius, I think Leonhard is just as genius as you. I think he definitely has the potential to grow while playing against you. So, I hope you finish the game and win.”

When she spoke in a powerful tone, I began to look at Millia with slightly different eyes.

Millia guessed almost exactly what I was implicitly thinking.

Considering Leonhard’s genius, there is a possibility that he will show miraculous growth during the game.

…But Millia, too, was piercing through it.

Sreuk.

Then, when she gently took my hand, I accepted it cautiously.

“And I will definitely win too. “I really want to compete with you in the semifinals or finals.”

I found myself nodding my head blankly at Millia’s sincere voice.

“…I hope so too.”

As I spoke, Milia’s image came to me more strongly.

Underneath her short black hair, Milia, who revealed her presence day by day, looked more beautiful.

And I also remembered the quarterfinals matchup that I checked a little while ago.

‘Milia’s opponent is… … .’

Celestia Yurisian.

He was a strong man who showed overwhelming power against Karite, causing even the Golden Knight to interfere in the game.

I was surprised and scared because she knew the other person better than me, but Millia was looking at me like this and speaking.

“That’s it. You have your first game tomorrow. “Just get some rest.”

When Millia smiled and gently let go of my hand, a smile escaped me without my knowledge.

“huh.”

I felt strange while answering.

My mind, which had become complicated due to Leonhard, and my tense heart were instantly filled with warmth thanks to Millia’s words.

And I made a promise to myself.

‘please.’

That you have to win.

“Really, I wish I had made it to the quarterfinals. “Then you would have been able to say such wonderful things like Milia.”

“Now is Millia and Han Tiansheng’s time.”

Then, I stopped and burst into laughter when I heard the voices of Karite and Glesia nearby.

“Even if we can’t meet each other in the game, I really want to show it to them both.”

“You’re showing me?”

When Karite asked again with a bright expression, I looked at her with confident eyes.

“The moment I win this Grand Colosseum, I want to gift it to you and no one else.”

Grand Colosseum.

From noble mtl dot come

The magical engineering items that can be obtained by winning are items, but I wanted to prove my worth beyond that.

I wanted to show my existence to the women who had formed a relationship with me, even accepting a harem relationship.

The man you chose,

That he is a man of this much value.

And for that, I was feeling a craving and desire stronger than ever.

“… … what. “It’s not bad.”

When Glesia suddenly smiled and smiled, I also smiled for a moment.

Coincidentally, the three women here were in that same relationship with me.

As I made eye contact with them and made up my mind.

“It’s nice to see.”

I heard Azazel’s voice from a little distance away and I looked at her leisurely.

Although they say they did not meet her in the quarterfinals, she is someone who will inevitably meet them in future matches.

“Azazel, you have a game tomorrow too, right?”

“that’s right. “You and I will each play one or two games.”

I was a little excited by the calm answer in his voice.

‘Grande Pelua.’

Even though I couldn’t compete with him, at least he was someone who could fully enhance Azazel’s power.

“Everyone can just work hard.”

As I answered calmly, I let go of my feelings for Azazel.

From now on, it was time for me to focus solely on myself.
