Episode 99
“Keuang, I thought it was over, but I lost 1 point!”
Sandra twisted her body this way and that, perfectly expressing her feelings. Just the words and face are like that, but the expression is that they are excited to enjoy it more.
“I tried to target both sides… … The aim is slightly off. sorry.”
Gertrude lowered her head, but Maya waved her hand lightly.
“it’s okay. “Even so, it’s only 1 point.”
“It’s only 1 point, but with this, your team’s rotation is back to normal.”
And it bothers me that Hubert is starting to act as a setter. I couldn’t even imagine what kind of variables that would create.
“Plus, our rotation right now doesn’t have senior Rowinvelt as a hard receiver.”
Maya leisurely put on her glasses and pointed across the net with her chin, as if it was no problem.
“The center of that team is Prince Ludwig. But you can tell just by looking at it. “It’s already over.”
that… … It certainly is.
Magic volleyball is a sport that requires not only physical and mental strength, but also magical power. It is said that it is possible to endure the former even if one grits one’s teeth, but the latter is impossible.
In order to quickly recover your magic power, you need to meditate or get a good night’s sleep.
‘Normal teams don’t use a lot of reserve players for no reason.’
Of course, it was possible to use them at important times, but the biggest purpose was to give the starting members time to recover their magic power.
As per the purpose, Griffin Balor’s main players were replaced and recharged their stamina one by one while 1 to 3 points were exchanged.
“So that’s the problem.”
Valencidis’ eyebrows slightly shook after hearing a similar explanation from Christa.
“Because there isn’t a single candidate.”
“yes. “The other five people are just as tired, but he is the setter who has to touch the ball the most.”
They went even further and started doing ridiculous things like double casting… … Slowly, Elin began to worry about her nephew’s health.
‘I just saw Spike and was convinced. That pathetic person can’t take it anymore.’
However, as if to shatter everyone’s carelessness and worries, Lane Ludwig pushed the ball upward and flew up once again.
“what… … ?!”
And the moment the palm collided with the ball, the ball plunged down quickly, emitting a terrifying bursting sound.
‘How can I still serve like this…’ … !’
Gertrude, who gradually got used to the ghostly speed, threw herself forward and barely managed to hit the ball.
However, the problem was that there was a mistake in the math equation, and the ball violently spewed out electricity and floated over the net.
The audience, who were watching with bated breath, all shouted half-simultaneously.
“Chance ball───!”
Lillian lightly moved the ball to the setter’s position with an underhand reception. This time, being in the position of setter… … It was Hubert.
“It’s a quick attack, left!”
Sandra shouted urgently, but Logan had already risen into the air… … .
Logan’s strong spike passed over Griffin Balor’s blocking that was not yet completed and hit the end line accurately.
“… … Court in!”
As soon as the assistant referees who judged the ball in and out shouted that, cheers once again shook the stadium.
“19:24! I’m catching up!”
“After Hubert became a setter, the flow changed completely?”
However, the suspicions of people who thought they had some experience with magic volleyball were growing more and more.
What?
How on earth are they still able to hit such powerful serves? With what force?
‘Even if we roughly estimate it, we still have 50,000 horsepower left over… … !’
‘Among the first-year cadets, the only one with more than 50,000 horsepower is Lillian Karain… … ?’
‘But how on earth… … ?’
weird. It’s really strange.
I can’t say that I have enough magical energy left. Didn’t I keep fiddling with that side because I felt pain from a while ago?
That must be a phenomenon caused by depletion of mana… … It’s not like I took a potion, so what on earth is this?
‘… … .’
There was only one person in the audience who knew why Lane Ludwig held on… … Casena page.
‘Don’t lose to those guys, Lane.’
The answer lies in the jet-black sacred stone, Black Sheep Rin, which Rain wears on a chain around his neck, paired with the Kasena.
The black sheep radiates hot waves of power throughout its body in sync with the pulsation of the main body, pushing out old magical energy out of the body and circulating fresh magical energy at the same time.
It could not be said that the amount of recovery was a lot, but it was enough to be useful in the current situation where a brief reprieve is given between gains and losses because Hubert takes care of the setter.
‘Do you really think I’ll collapse this much? … .’
I think with a bitter smile. I tried using magic without collapsing in a critical situation to the point where I had a hard time with it during my time in Rin.
It would be more accurate to say that I had to do it rather than that I tried it… … Anyway, compared to then, this situation now is nothing.
He spun the ball around in his palm, then tossed it, then jumped again and hit the ball with all his might.
* * *
When Doran Slade, head of the Special Affairs Department, returned to his alma mater’s campus after a long time, there was a whisper that seemed to grab his shoulder.
“I heard the Griffin Balor showdown isn’t over yet?”
“They say they are no joke and are fierce with each other.”
“Wow, of course I thought it would be a one-side game so I didn’t go see it… … .”
Griffin Balor’s final match?
What does that mean?
The magic volleyball team’s close match only existed in name, and rarely took place in reality.
Moreover, among the four major volleyball teams, Griffin Balor is the Royal Club, where current and former heads of prestigious magical families pass by. Who on earth would commit such audacity without fear of their wrath?
“I heard that Gongja’s personality is so good that Griffin Balor is struggling?”

“real?”
“Let’s go see it now!”
If you are Confucius with character… … Are you sure you mean Lane Ludwig?
‘That doesn’t even make sense. Lane Ludwig is doing well, so why is Griffin Balor struggling? ‘You’re not affiliated with Griffin Valor?’
Wondering what the hell was going on, I followed the crowd of people towards the first gym. Even before entering the building, fierce cheers erupted, shaking the gymnasium.
“Wow!”
“Three consecutive serve aces?!”
“It’s really crazy!”
And beyond the countless crowds of people, what Doran saw was a sight that was beyond common sense to believe.
‘This match-up… … ?’
Raine Ludwig is leading the disciples of the Eight Great Schools, the mainstay of the first-year Golden Generation, to fight against Griffin Balor?
“cover!”
“last! “Hand it over right away!”
“Chance ball!”
For a moment, I thought it was some kind of punishment game, but the bond shown by the six people did not seem to be connected by such a thing.
‘I wonder how this happened… … .’
The inside of the building was so crowded that there was no room to step, but there was one exception.
Where Casena Page stands.
No one, whether noble or commoner, was overwhelmed by the innate halo, so no one went near it, leaving a space with a radius of approximately 2 meters empty.
‘Huh, the rumors were true.’
No, in fact, there was no need to confirm the truth of the rumor with one’s own eyes.
Because Madelia, who had lost her smile after her daughter became disabled, smiled so well.
Anyway, perhaps because she inherited her superior looks from Madelia, she was indeed a girl with exquisite beauty, even aside from the light purple hair that made her page special.
“Which side are you rooting for, Kasena Wijak?”
Kassena, who was concentrating on the game with his fists clenched in front of his chest, looked back in surprise half a beat later.
“W-what are you?! “No, maybe you’re a professor?!”
“Please don’t be so wary. “My name is Doran Slade, and I am Your Excellency Madelia’s beloved junior.”
Unlike Lane, the girl may have been less suspicious, but when she revealed her close relationship with her mother, her guard immediately dropped.
“If you don’t mind, may I ask why Lane Wijak pulled such a funny prank?”
However, as soon as he asked that question, Doran saw that the girl’s eyes were boiling with antipathy beyond caution, and he knew he had made a mistake.
“It’s not a joke! “What do you know?”
At that time, a heavy hitting sound rang out at the same time.
Pow!
It was the sound of Logan’s spike, which received Hubert’s toss, breaking through Joers Bautel’s blocking and rising to the second floor railing.
“Ussssssssssssss!”
“Logan, nice kill!”
“Nice toss, Hubert★”
Suddenly, cheers erupted from the audience.
“I protected my right to serve!”
“23:24! 1 point difference!”
“That means… … “If we get one more point, it’s deuce?!”
Cassena’s expression also noticeably brightened.
‘He’s one-dimensional and has a pure personality… … Isn’t it unreasonable for a senior to pamper you? ‘You’ve liked kids like that since you were young.’
For example, Caroline, who I received as a student… … As Doran thought so, Kasena looked back at Doran with an excited face.
“Not about Lane! “They’re doing this to protect the school!”
“You’re protecting the school?”
I almost laughed for a moment, but I couldn’t miss this great opportunity.
When I pretended to be curious, Kassena explained in detail how this incident occurred.
How Lane Ludwig responded to the rude behavior that occurred at the Executive Committee… … .
“So Lane will win! “I will never lose!”
It was strange that he kept shrugging his shoulders as if he was bragging, even though he didn’t do anything.
‘But what… … Thanks to you, I know it’s good.’
Maya, Rowinvelt, and Yors were also candidates for recruitment to the Special Affairs Department, but I think I will have to retract the message.
Due to the nature of the special services department, which requires mixing with magicians from various backgrounds and being able to disguise yourself as a commoner depending on the situation, having such materials is only a negative.
Doran glanced at his former junior, Elin, and smiled bitterly.
‘Elin, you must be having a hard time too. ‘Taking care of this troublemaker nephew.’
Yeah, it’s a mess.
Lane Ludwig… … Although he is a coveted talent, the more I look at him, the more I become afraid of his true identity.
“Kasena forgery, actually the reason I came here is because of the special department’s work.”
“Special Affairs Department work? What is that!”
“I hope you can give an honest answer as this is related to the safety of Lane forgery. Has he ever been away for a long time during the final exam period?”
When Raine’s safety was brought up, Cassena’s expression turned serious and she groaned, rubbing her chin as if she was trying hard to recall the past.
Doran’s eyes opened diagonally as he watched, revealing the snake-like cunning eyes inside.
Suspect everything you see, that is the principle of special investigation. Even if it is a relative of a respected senior.
“Oh, there it was!”
A coldness flashed in Doran’s eyes, and dry saliva passed over him.
Kassena is the type that reveals everything in her facial expressions, and she doesn’t lie.
That’s why my whole body was tense at the next words… … This is a matter that may require Lane Ludwig to be arrested.
“First day of final exams!”
huh?
The first day of final exams?
“He didn’t come to pick me up at the mansion like usual, so I went looking for him, and he was wearing an armband saying he was a member of the student council and was doing some kind of guiding duty!”
Doran’s eyes narrowed. The date the soldiers mentioned was clearly the second day of final exams.
Should I say it was relief, or should I say it was regret that I had lost my prey… … A strange sense of deprivation swept over my whole body, and the tension relaxed languidly.
As soon as he could see it, Doran had a unique, friendly smile on his face.
“But why! Is Lane in danger? What?!”
“It was just a prank. Wijak’s reaction was so cute that it felt like teasing him. “It seems like you like to forge lanes a lot.”
“W-What?!”
Kassena blushed profusely and tried to shout, but at that moment, the cheers that threatened to explode from the audience were drowned out.
“Do, do, it’s a tie!”
* * *
“Hey hey hey!!! “To be tied at match point against a team that was made hastily, this is not even a joke!”
When the score was tied, Griffin Balor’s advisor, Elin Ludwig, had no choice but to call a timeout, but as soon as the starters came to the bench, Rowinveld countered.
“Please give me one point!” So that I can get in! “This isn’t the first time I’ve seen such a strong serve, so what’s the problem?!”
Maya Snark bit her lip.
“Speed is not a problem.”
“that’s right. The problem is that the mathematical formula that orders the speed is something like the inverse function of an irrational function… … .”
Gertrude sighed as she helped Maya make excuses.
Lane, who clearly understood the essence of magic volleyball, attacked using only mathematical equations that took a long time to solve, regardless of whether they were easy or difficult.
The speed and power are at the level of a cannon, and the mathematical formula used is at that level, so even Griffin Balor’s players are helpless.
“Then there’s nothing much we can do.”
Elin, who was silently listening to the players’ words, brightened her eyes sharply.
“From the next serve receive, use body blocking.”
As soon as they heard that statement, the eyes of all the players present widened. Gertrude Panton could barely utter her words.
“Now, are you kidding? “Body blocking?”
“Does this look like a joke? Do as I say. Or get replaced.”
“But we are nobles, right? How can you lose face in front of so many ordinary people? … .”
Body blocking literally means blocking the ball with your body.
It wasn’t an unusual tactical term, it was just a term used to make fun of beginners who were still inexperienced in magic volleyball and would take the opponent’s attacks with their chest or face rather than their arms.
It was a ridiculous thing to do, but it didn’t mean it wasn’t effective. Unlike when you catch it with your arms, when you catch it with your chest, the ball doesn’t bounce backwards or sideways, but only bounces forward.
If the team responded right away, the ball could be saved. The problem is that the process is embarrassing.
“I’m embarrassed? Are you embarrassed? It’s really funny! Aren’t you embarrassed that you guys lost to a team like that and that Griffin Balor is put out of business for the first time in history? “Isn’t that something I should just go out and search for?”
“… … .”
“If you don’t want to do it, take off your uniform right now and submit an application to withdraw from the club. “I won’t stop you.”
There was no truth to what Elin said, but the players hesitated for a moment.
Haven’t we been taught that as nobles we have a duty to always maintain dignity? But to collapse like that with so many eyes watching.
However, Maya Snark, who clearly considered practical reasons, was the first to express her intention to obey.
“I will do it.”
The goal is to bring out Valencidis.
However, if he was stopped by Raine Ludwig before even getting to the point, it wouldn’t even be a joke.
And although the stigma gained from body blocking is temporary, the mark of graduating at the top of your class will remain for a lifetime, or even until the world ends.
“… … “Then me too.”
“… … me too.”
If Maya, who was the de facto captain and No. 2 in the team’s ranking, took the first step, the members below her had no choice but to follow.
Since Sandra is an ace, she generally does not participate in serve and receive, and since she is currently a vanguard, there was no need to ask what she meant… … .
Most of them reluctantly agreed, but Elin sighed softly when she saw their dark expressions.
“If you score 1 point and only get to the Lowin Belt, then you don’t have to do it, you pathetic bastards. “What’s so difficult?”
“… … .”
“I told him to do it anyway. “I won’t leave anyone who doesn’t do it.”
The timeout ended with referee Ivan’s whistle, and players from both sides came back onto the court. The right to serve still belonged to Lane Ludwig.
“Good serve, Confucius!”
My hands and feet shake as if they will break.
My breathing had already stopped.
Even though I clearly don’t have the energy to move anymore, let alone run, my body is forced to move.
– Take this opportunity to go out into the world, Lin.
By the voice of Dean Atlante, distantly ringing like a bell in my mind.
– There are countless things in the world that are not listed in books. Beautiful things, scary things, happy things, sad things… … .
The first step of serving.
First, lightly throw the ball up into the sky.
– It’s not just things. Among people, there are strong people, weak people, funny people, and pitiful people.
Three assists and closes.
After that, leap forward with all your might.
– If you see these things with your own eyes, hear them with your own ears, and touch them with your own hands, you will begin to understand them little by little without even realizing it.
That’s how we reached the highest jumping point.
There, I hit the ball I threw earlier with all my might.
– What is magic and how to use the power given to you by nature.
A bursting sound as if it were going to tear the eardrums, and at the same time, the ball, accelerated by both physical and intellectual forces, violently tears through the air.
Incredible speed.
unrealistic trajectory.
The ball passed by Maya Snark’s fingertips with all her might, hitting the edge of the end line and crying violently.
“Crazy, how many serve aces did you have against Griffin Balor?”
“With this, Team Inseong Confucius is the match point!”
The moment I landed after completing the serve jump, my body stumbled as if I was going to fall, and one knee buckled. He would have fallen if Logan hadn’t helped him right away.
“Are you okay?”
“Uh, I just made a little mistake when I landed… … .”
“By the way, it was a fantastic course!”
“So★ That Maya Snark can’t even touch me.”
When I saw Logan and Nora making a fuss with excited voices, and Kayden and Lillian giving thumbs up, I smiled, even though I didn’t know the meaning.
– That’s how wizards learn the truth from the world. It can’t be done by just reading a book in the closet.
That’s what Dean Atlante said when I said I wanted to follow Lista.
There, a pure question arose.
I didn’t mean to tease him like I usually do, but I was just vaguely curious, so I asked this.
– But even you don’t know the truth.
– This is just it! If I knew that, would I be watching the magic tower collapse like this? You’ll live happily in a magnificent magic tower, right?
I thought Atlante would stretch out his hand and slam his fist into the top of his head like usual.
But no.
Atlante’s action at that time was to gently stroke Lane’s head and smile.
– So, I hope Lin will teach me someday. If it’s Rin, she will definitely be able to reach it.
Madam, I’m sorry, but I still don’t know anything about the truth.
Still, this is the right way, right?
If you follow this path that the lady taught you, you will be able to reach the truth one day, right?
“Everyone worked hard for 10 days to accommodate my demands. “I’ll finish with the next serve.”
Then Hubert, who received a new ball from referee Professor Ivan, handed it to Lane and raised the corner of his mouth as if telling him not to laugh.
“Don’t be overly confident and just keep doing what you’re doing. Even if it doesn’t work out, I can just finish it with my setup.”
Uh-huh, this kid… … ?
Everyone on the team briefly laughed at Hubert’s encouragement. And then the whistle sounded to signal the start of the last set.
‘Now only 1 point… … !’
‘If you just put this… … !’
‘Defeat that Griffin Balor… … !’
At that moment when everyone held their breath, Lane once again kicked off the ground and jumped up. Doran Slade’s eyebrows shook slightly as he watched this.
‘I think closing the door is a bit lacking.’
As expected, I was continuously squeezing my body to its limits… … .
As Doran expected, Lane’s serve, which was not close enough, crossed the net with less than half the power and speed of usual.
Still, the math equations for ordering are more difficult and complicated than usual, so there’s no way I can accept them easily.
“───?!”
However, as if to completely crush Lane’s expectations, everyone’s mouths were wide open at Gertrude’s antics as she threw herself into the ball’s orbit.
“With your face… … ?!”
“It’s called facial blocking… … ?!”
“The daughter of Panton… … ?!”
The ball spewed out a strong current due to a repulsion effect that did not completely solve the mathematical equation, but the direction in which it bounced was straight ahead.
“Save me, save me!”
“Yors, last!”
“okay!”
Griffin Balor, who barely took over Gertrude’s throw, passed the ball over the net. Tsk, Hubert clicked his tongue.
‘You go to such lengths to win somehow.’
Anyway, it doesn’t matter.
Chance ball, we still have the right to attack.
“Chance ball★”
Nora killed all the power and flow of the ball with her underhand and gently lifted it to the center where the setter was.
“Give it to me!”
Logan jumped up as hard as he could, and it looked like Hubert would throw in that direction as well, but Hubert chose Lillian on the right.
‘Exquisite… … !’
‘No, but…’ … !’
It was Jors Bautel, the heavy blocker standing right in front of him. Lillian’s spike hit Yorth’s left hand and lost its strength.
“The right to attack has passed!”
“Reorganize!”
While the crowd was screaming, Griffin Balor quickly formed an attack formation. Maya’s toss went up to Sandra Keppel.
‘Is this honestly a quick attack with an ace? … ?!’
Logan immediately jumped in front of him… … Sandra’s spike was not at a level that could be easily blocked with a single block.
When the inverse function g(x) of the function f(x)=√(2x+3b) exists, the graph of y=g(x) and the straight line y=3x-a are tangent. What is the value of constant a at this time?
If you lose the momentary math calculation battle, you will also lose the blocking battle.
A powerful burst of electricity erupted from the ball that had been blocked by Logan’s hand, pushing the hand away and flying a great distance at the same time.
Rowinbelt, who was warming up his body with tense movements, clenched his fists.
“Nice kill────?!”
After shouting like that, I suddenly gasped and closed my mouth.
Because Harimun’s mute, Kayden, was throwing his body at the point where the ball landed.
When the portable chairs that made up the bench were scattered by the collision, the ball was lifted high by Kayden.
“Nora, cover———!”
How did Lane save the ball? And Nora, who received Lane’s toss, threw the ball over the net with all her might.
“Kayden, are you okay?”
[yep….]
When Hubert stood up holding Lane’s hand, Griffin Balor was in perfect attack formation again.
“Chance ball!”
Yorus lifted the ball to Maya, and I wondered if Maya’s toss would hit Sandra on a quick strike this time, but…
“Not that way!”
──When Lillian shouted, it was already too late.
The side where the toss went up was at the back.
Toward Gertrude Panton, who jumped with all her might, putting her hands back as if spreading her wings. Maya smiled in remorse.
‘Yeah, I guess I had no choice but to keep Ace in check since I got caught in a quick attack by Ace.’
And Sandra is the type that runs at her best regardless of whether the toss comes up or not, so she uses that as bait and scores with Gertrude.
“One piece of blocking───!”
Since Hubert and Logan are attached to Sandra, the only wall blocking Gertrude is Lillian. This is a blocking that would have been easily overlooked under normal circumstances.
But should we call it a miracle or a product of desperate will?
Gertrude’s spike was blocked by Lillian, who stretched out both hands in a burst of spirit, and flew slowly across the challenger team’s court, losing both strength and rotational power.
As Nora Redon got into a receiving position at the landing zone of the ball, the crowd shouted in unison.
“““───Chance ball!”””
At that moment, Doran Slade must have been quite surprised as his eyes, which were always closed with a smile, were half-opened.
‘How did this happen… … .’
When I heard the explanation from Kasena, I thought that the disciples of the Eight Great Sects were forcing themselves to match the rhythm… … Not at all.
There is no way that the disciples of the Eight Great Sects could unite like that just for the sole purpose of abolishing Griffin Balor.
Those were the latter-day exponents of the school, and Doran, who was in charge of the special department where countless noble heirs came together, knew better than anyone else.
‘Of course, the answer lies with you.’
The moment Nora raised the ball, everyone’s eyes turned to Lane Ludwig. The crowd, Griffin Balor’s players, and his teammates.
It had to be that way.
Because Lane was running out to the front line, shouting like this.
“Hubert, my ball!”
My ball… … ?
For a moment, I thought Hubert, who was entering the setup motion, was giving Lane a blank look, but he realized his intention and immediately stepped aside from the setter’s seat.
‘Setter position… … ?’
‘switch… … ?’
The eyes of Griffin Baller’s front line players, who were preparing to block after reading the setter’s movements over the net, fluttered in surprise.
‘Hubert prepares the spike… … !’
A slight distortion in the flow of attacks that should have flowed in an orderly manner causes a large crack.
‘Rain’s setup is not that difficult if you get used to it and prepare well… … .’
Elin Ludwig’s eyes widened. But what if you have to deal with this suddenly, in an instant?
‘It’s not just that… … !’
Professor Owen’s eyes were also wide enough for the first time in his life to make his pupils pop out.
‘All five people jumped up to make up for Lane’s shortcomings… … !’
The ridiculous speed of the toss in Lane’s setup is a weapon, and it is not clear to whom the ball is going up until it goes up.
However, due to his lack of experience, his opponent, Griffin Balor, was only able to read his thoughts and deal with them.
But in a situation like this where all five spikers jump at the same time… … The story is bound to be different.
“What… … !”
Yorth briefly cursed and went to Logan, who could be said to be the ace. Maya is in the center, Sandra is on the right.
It was both the best and worst decision that could be made in that situation.
Lane threw the toss to Hubert diagonally behind him, who had just switched positions with him.
“Zero blocking!”
The nearly 90% completed equation for the exponential function flew out of Lane’s head on a ball…
At the same time as completing the math problem, Hubert hit the ball with all his might.
As if laughing at Yorrus and Maya, the ball that passed through the empty space between the blocks was──
“────?!”
“────?!”
“────?!”
It hit the shoulder of the second-year Griffin Valor student who was in the rear, and flew back even further, causing a violent explosion of electricity.
far.
So far away that no one can reach it.
‘You can see so many qualities in just one play of Magic Volleyball.’
As time passed slowly, as if it had stopped, Doran’s eyes were filled with wonder as he watched the ball bouncing powerfully across the court.
‘Qualities required for a battle mage, such as instantaneous calculation ability, judgment ability, and physical ability… … .’
However, beyond these primary qualities, there are occasional instances where the qualities of a leader are revealed, that is, the leadership ability to unite an apparently inferior team and lead it to victory.
‘Magic volleyball is ultimately a sport that aims for victory. ‘It’s no different from a miniature version of the magic world.’
Of course, it cannot be denied that a team with many good players is more likely to win.
‘It’s not impossible to lead the team to victory in a situation where everyone thinks they are bound to lose.’
It’s not impossible, but that doesn’t mean anyone can do it.
Because it is a miracle that can only be achieved by those who have the skills and reputation that all members can truly follow.
Just like heroes like Rista who brought light to the times in the dark history… … For the first time in a very long time, a sincere smile appeared on Doran’s lips.
‘If I had to retire tomorrow and hand over the special department to someone… … Lane Ludwig, I think you would be a good candidate.’
Barrel, barrel, barrel… … In the bloody silence where everyone doubted their five senses and even the sound of breathing was silenced, it finally rang out sharply.
Beep—!
The whistle sounded, signaling the end of this fight that seemed to go on forever.
fantasy,
