Chapter 29 - The Greatest Talent in History( 1)
After hearing the news of the Swordsmanship Festival, the second-year knight cadets could not hide their excitement.
These were the students who, while watching the graduating seniors' performances last year, had thought that one day they too would have their day to show off their skills on that stage. However, there were a few who had looked dejected at the prospect of a distant future.
But an opportunity had come much earlier than they had thought.
And that too, with the formidable competitors of the third and fourth years excluded!
"They said they're picking 32 people, including the first years, right?"
Ẅёḃ ń_o v̆.ёl Éńu m a
"I wonder if I can barely make it in..."
"I heard that from the quarterfinals onwards, a mid-level knight from the Royal Knights will be observing... Wouldn't making a good impression here be advantageous later on?"

"Just getting on the stage alone won't be a bad thing."
"Alright! Special training starts today!"
Usually, right after the midterm evaluations, everyone tended to become lazy, but this time was different. The second-year students began intense training to prepare for the upcoming Swordsmanship Festival. The top first-year students also did their best to seize the slim opportunity.
And among them, the ones who were pushing themselves the hardest were.

"Hoo, hah."
"Hoooo..."
Teoro Shutgaren and Boomer Simpson.
"Crazy, are those guys really second-years?"

"I would believe it if you told me they were graduating seniors."
"The monsters have become even more monstrous."

"Haa, if I get unlucky and face them early on..."
The second-year students who were watching the two spar let out deep sighs.
The first-year students couldn't even close their mouths. They were shocked by the skills that were on a completely different level from their own.
Boomer, who poured out powerful attacks like a raging firestorm, and Teoro, who dodged and blocked all of them, showing fluid movements like water, were both terrifying beings.
Moreover, they were not the end of it.
The unshakable number one, Cal Krone.

And with Lumian Calard, who had recently emerged as a new powerhouse, getting into the semifinals was bound to be harder than threading a needle.
And the cadets were divided into two groups.
'This is not going to work. Rather than going out and getting embarrassed, I should just play it safe.'
'Even if I go out, I won't be able to get into the top ranks, so let's just give up.'
Those who realized their limits and gave up early.
'...But let's still try. Even if it's impossible right now, I'll gain something if I keep trying.'
W̌ ӗ b_n̆ оṽе l Е̌ n ŭ ḿ ӑ
'Lumian did it too. Why can't I? If I keep trying, one day my efforts will bear fruit!'
People who burned with even more determination to overcome their limits.

In the latter case, the proportion of students from second-year Class E and Class B was overwhelmingly high.
The effort he, who had never missed the last place until last year, had shown this semester, and the sweet results that came from it.
That had given them great motivation.
Of course, there were also those who were jealous of him for suddenly rising to the top ranks.

"Lumian Calard? Didn't he just get lucky and win by some chance?"
"There's also a rumor that he bribed the professor."
"I don't know. I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes. It's not just anyone, it's Lumian... that makes no sense."
There were those who did not believe in Lumian's growth at all, and there were those who believed it but pretended not to, spreading malicious gossip. In the case of the first-year students, there were also those who had not yet heard the rumors.

Watching the chaotic situation, Boomer and Teoro let out sly smiles.
"They'll be surprised when the Swordsmanship Festival starts."

"Well, I guess so. It's true that it's hard to believe unless you see it for yourself."
"Honestly, I still can't believe it. How can someone get so strong so quickly? Does it make sense to awaken like that all of a sudden?"
"...I don't know either."
Teoro muttered as if he was annoyed.
Unlike the simple-minded Boomer, he did not forget the past so easily.
The fact that the guy who had even tried to secretly ambush him was now acting so friendly was even more absurd than Lumian's awakening.

If he wasn't a useful sparring partner, he wouldn't have even bothered to talk to him.
In fact, he was only half-listening even now.
He suddenly brought up a different topic.
"By the way, what's Lumian doing? Is he still in his room?"
"I think so? He hasn't been coming to the training ground much these days."
"Hmm. He's not the type to do that..."
Е ñ ù m̃ã
Lumian was someone who practically lived at the public training ground to get the girls' attention and to imprint his diligence on them.
For such a guy to suddenly disappear from sight, it was only natural to find it strange.

But Boomer thought differently.
With a sly smile, as if he knew something, he said.
"Hehehe, it's understandable that he wouldn't come out."
"Why."
Ŵ.ѐ b n о.ṽ е́l Е n u ṁå
"It seems he really liked the gift I gave him. Seeing as he's not even thinking of coming out of his room."
"..."
"From now on, he'll be focusing on me more than you. Don't be too disappointed. It was a decision I made at a considerable cost to myself..."
"Just shut up. Pick up your sword."

Teoro, wiping his sweat with a towel, picked up his sword.
It seemed much better to spar until he was exhausted than to continue talking with this guy.

As Boomer had expected, Lumian was indeed in his room.
But he was not looking at a lewd book.
Sitting on the floor in a cross-legged position, he began his Aura cultivation.
WHOOOOSH
The mana in the atmosphere was rapidly sucked into his body. It was quickly converted into Aura under Lumian's guidance and steadily accumulated in his danjeon.

The current him, with his eyes closed and immersed in his inner world, looked more like the old knight from his past life than a boy.
'Everyone is working hard. Much harder than I thought.'
It was a peaceful world. It had been over 10 years since the Demon King in the Demon King's castle was subjugated, and most of his subordinate demons and fiends had also been subjugated.
Therefore, he had thought that the youth of today would not have the same passion and skill as before.
Because it was by no means an easy task to hone oneself without great trials and motivation.
But that was a misconception.
W̆ ëb n̂ о̌ v̆ el̃ En̆ um̈ а̊
Watching the motivated academy students preparing for the Swordsmanship Festival, Lumian realized that his thoughts were nothing more than unnecessary worry.
'They are not lacking compared to 10 years ago. Their passion and skills are both excellent. Considering this is a minor kingdom, it feels even more amazing.'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It was a pleasant thing.
He didn't know exactly what the driving force behind them was.
It could be something worldly like honor or the desire for success, or it could be a grand cause like the well-being of the kingdom and the happiness of the people.
It didn't matter what it was. As long as the intention was not evil, it was fine.

The more they built up their strength, the weaker the invasion will of the demon lords in the underworld would become. The continent would become safer from the still-unexterminated remnants of the demon race, bandits, and monsters.
'To protect oneself, one's family, one's country, the continent, the future, the foundation is martial power... not bad.'
Lumian smiled faintly.
Seeing his juniors striving and striving, he felt a surge of motivation himself.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Even though his soul was old, entering a young and fresh body felt like a new spark was being ignited.
Although it had side effects like his personality becoming light and flippant, at least it wasn't the case now. He immersed himself in Aura cultivation, possessing both the passion of youth and the wisdom of old age.
W̃e b n о v̈ еl̇ Е̂n̄ǔ ṁ а.
Continuously, endlessly.
WHOOOOOOSH-!
A greater vibration arose from Lumian's body, which had fallen into a state of selflessness. Accordingly, the atmosphere felt from his body gradually changed.
It was not a big change.
It was just that a few sprouts had grown through a hard and huge rock. Even Lumian himself did not notice this change.
But regardless of his perception, the sprouts continued to grow, gradually covering the barren surface of the rock.

Time passed, and finally, the day of the Swordsmanship Festival dawned.
The participants, consisting of 7 first-year students and 25 second-year students, were in the waiting room, composing themselves while waiting for the matches that would soon unfold.
Their expressions were all different.
Those who were matched against strong opponents were desperately racking their brains to increase their chances of winning, while those who had drawn relatively easy opponents were waiting for the opening ceremony with a relaxed mind.
Teoro and Boomer were in the latter group.
Е ńūm̂а̄
Especially in Boomer's case, he was very excited at the thought of being in the opening match.
Because there was no match that attracted the audience's attention as much as the first match.

There were cadets who disliked it due to the excessive pressure, but Boomer was an exception.
Because he was confident.
"Hehehehe. It's time to show off my skills properly!"
"Damn it."
E n um̈ а
Lumian, who was looking at the excited Boomer, let out a low curse.
He, too, was confident. Confident that he could put on a more splendid opening match than anyone else.
But that spot had gone to Boomer. The match that had fallen to him was a mediocre one in the middle of the schedule.
Lumian closed his eyes and let out a snort of anger.

'Nothing is going right from the preliminaries.'
In fact, he hadn't even participated in the preliminaries. The students among the second-year cadets who ranked in the top 8 in the swordsmanship evaluation were all seeded and went straight to the Swordsmanship Festival stage.
Е́n̆ ŭ m̌ã
However, for Lumian, that was the problem.
He had planned to make a surprising appearance in the preliminaries and dramatically raise his recognition, but that plan had gone up in smoke.
"Hehehe, hurry up and start. Hurry, hurry!"
"...Be quiet. Before I crush you in the semifinals."
"..."
Scolding the very excited Boomer, Lumian looked towards the entrance of the waiting room with a dissatisfied expression.

Then, as if on cue, someone burst through the door.
The greatest talent in the history of the Tarajan Academy, Cal Krone.
He had finally made his appearance.
"..."
"..."
The waiting room instantly fell silent.
Eň u ṁ а̄_.іd
There was no one, neither in the second year nor the first year, who did not know him.
Dozens of pairs of eyes, filled with various emotions such as annoyance, jealousy, anxiety, and admiration, were fixed on Cal Krone. It was a level of attention that would make an ordinary person flinch.

However, Cal Krone received everyone's attention with a single chuckle. And as if nothing had happened, he found an empty seat and sat down.
Watching the confident expression of the guy who swept back his brilliant blond hair, Lumian thought.
'He's not that special?'
Of course, he was good-looking.
Е n̂ u m ӓ . î d̃
A tall stature, a clean appearance, a confident atmosphere. He seemed to have all the elements that would be popular with women.
It was a little strange how he had managed to focus everyone's attention just by appearing and giving a slight smile.
But that alone did not explain the ardent fans he had met at the cafeteria before. To be honest, he did not feel that much charm from him.
'I think Teoro is better, if anything...'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Hmm."
I don't know. Maybe there's something that only men can't see.
E nů m̊а́
Lumian soon lost interest.
It wasn't a match scene, and he had no intention of persistently observing a man sitting down.
The moment he turned his head to scold Boomer again.
A mysterious Aura flowed out from Cal Krone's body.
Paaaat-
A presence that instantly spread throughout the entire waiting room.

It was like an assassin seeping through the darkness from behind. The participants exposed to that subtle Aura showed different reactions.
The first group felt nothing at all.
Even though the assassin's blade was moving back and forth under their chins. For them, the world was flowing the same as before.
The second group was a little different. They couldn't hide their uncomfortable expressions, as if a blade had touched their backs.
The skilled individuals who had gone straight to the main tournament belonged to this group.
