4.
The next morning.
Professor Miel, who was organizing documents in an empty classroom, raised his head and looked out the window.
This was because the campus, which would normally be full of students, was deserted today.
However, there was nothing to wonder about.
Because today was the day the sports day was held.
During this period, assemblies are omitted, and the rule is to gather at the main stadium. Of course, there were occasional students who forgot this and came to class.
“That… … .”
At that time, Professor Miel’s eyes narrowed.
Because I saw a familiar face.
A female student with gray hair.
It was Sylphy Rudhina from Class 3, which he was in charge of. Seeing that he was in no hurry even though it was late, Professor Miel immediately started yelling.
“Shilpi Ludhina!”
“… … ! Yes, four!?”
A girl who suddenly gets startled.
Even Professor Miel, who had called her, looked so shocked that he was taken aback.
“hmm? “Why are you so surprised?”
“no! Well, you suddenly called me… … .”
She seems embarrassed and speaks gibberish.
Afterwards, he took deep breaths several times and finally managed to look calm. Then he glanced at Professor Miel and asked.
“Well, what’s going on?”
The original purpose of speaking was to tell them to hurry because the opening ceremony was about to start. However, Professor Miel changed the topic.
“Your complexion seems to have been bad lately.”
“… … yes?”
The reason was simple.
It was because her complexion really wasn’t very good. If you think about it carefully, it’s not just today, it’s been like this for 15 days ago.
“It looks like your face has become quite haggard. “Do you have any concerns?”
“no! It’s just, that, I… … .”
“If you have any concerns, tell me anything. “As the professor in charge, I have a duty to solve the problem.”
Professor Miel speaks seriously.
On the other hand, she stepped back, perhaps because Miel’s attitude was burdensome. At the same time, she continued her answer by rambling.
“Mo, I’m not feeling well! Just rest for a few days and you will feel better.”
“Well, then it would be a good idea to get a check-up at the ward. “I will give you an application form when the sports day is over, so please come and visit.”
“Yes, thank you for your concern.”
I hastily bowed my head.
As soon as Professor Miel’s conversation ended, he quickly escaped the lion’s coffin as if running away.
Some time after that.
As the people around her died down somewhat, Sirpi let out the sigh she had been holding in for so long.
“Whoa.”
Complexion darkened again.
As Professor Miel guessed, her complexion has deteriorated rapidly recently.
His face was extremely pale, his complexion was dark, and his expression was full of deep sorrow. However, the reason is not because I am not feeling well.
’15 days ago from now.’
She received a letter from Ibella Elead, one of her few friends.
Just an ordinary-looking envelope.
But as soon as I opened the envelope and opened the letter, I instantly felt like my breath had stopped. It was because of the two lines of sentences written at the top of the letter.
「Sirpi Rudrik.」
“I know who you are.”
Shilpi Ludhina’s real name.
What’s even more surprising is what follows.
That’s because the letter was filled with detailed information about himself.
Not only did it contain information about the Desert Church, but it also contained information about being one of the successor candidates for the Church.
At the time I was embarrassed by this fact.
There was something that puzzled her even more. This was the identity of the sender of her letter.
‘Istan el Deorg.’
One of the Five Masters of the Empire.
The commander of the southern front and a strong man who possesses destructive sword skills that can destroy everything.
However, to the believers of the Desert Church, including Sirpi, it was called by a completely different name.
Ice golem, slayer, demon, etc.
Istan is the worst enemy singled out by the Desert Cult. If it was a pagan, it was a man who would kill the head of anyone, regardless of whether it was a child, a woman, or an old man.
In other words, it could be said to be the entity that the believers of the Desert Church fear and hate the most.
When I read the letter with trembling hands.
There was a phrase written on it that made her eyes grow even wider. She wrote that she would come visit her on the last day of the sports day.
“I want to talk to you. Of course, I will put Deorg’s honor on the line and guarantee his personal safety.”
He even kindly wrote down a message guaranteeing his safety. This was something she would never have done in the Istan el Deorg she knew.
“However, if you do not respond to the conversation or run away after going this far, we will determine that you infiltrated with impure intentions and will be disposed of immediately.”
Right after I thought of the last sentence.

Sirpi trembled. Because he realized that even though he was caught in a trap, he was caught in the right way.
‘A situation that cannot be escaped or avoided.’
As the date I had to meet him got closer, my mouth became dry due to nervousness.
And the results of these emotions were clearly visible on the face. After finishing her reminiscence, Sirpi closed her eyes tightly and clasped her hands together.
“… … “My ancestors, and my sect leader.”
Please give me strength.
Sirpi’s shoulders trembled slightly along with an earnest voice muttering like a prayer.
It was a tremor that felt like fear.
5.
Meanwhile, at that time.
The main stadium was crowded with students preparing for the opening ceremony. At the same time, representatives from each class were waiting in their assigned barracks.
Ulan was one of them.
As I was staring at the wide-open stadium, a calm voice suddenly struck my ear from behind.
“… … Ulan cadet.”
A girl with light blue hair.
It was Iris Senior who suggested Ulan to join the next student council. When Ulan looked behind her, she said with a serious face.
“I will ask you one last question. “Is it really okay for me to be the representative of Class 3?”
“Yeah, it doesn’t matter.”
Ulan nodded willingly.
About three days ago, as soon as he saw Iris at a gathering to decide on the representative of Class 3, he readily gave up his position as the representative.
The reason was simple.
‘Because it’s annoying.’
I didn’t know it until I was elected as a candidate, but there was surprisingly a lot to do once I became a representative.
From guiding students, selecting players, conducting, etc., there are all sorts of annoying tasks.
Therefore, it would be more appropriate for Iris, who is relatively skilled at dealing with people and is highly popular, to take charge rather than myself, who is a freshman.
‘and… … .’
One more reason:
I heard from Noah that if you serve as a representative at the sports club, you will receive extra points when running for the student council president election in the future.
Even taking this into consideration, it was more appropriate for Iris to be the representative rather than myself. Of course, 80% of the reason was because it was annoying.
“Still, if you take on the role of CEO, you will have additional points and it will be helpful in many ways… … .”
“Okay. “I’m satisfied with being part of the unit.”
An answer without a single lie.
As just mentioned, instead of giving up the position of representative, Ulan received the title of deputy representative.
A position that does not have as much to do as a representative, and is merely an acting representative for the representative. That’s why Ulan spoke in a blunt tone.
“I think it suits you again.”
“yes? “What are you saying?”
“It was like that in the friendly mock battle, but you have the power to lead people. Therefore, there is no candidate to become representative other than you.”
These were never empty words.
Although she was unable to perform due to the student council’s interference, Iris demonstrated sufficient capabilities as a leader at the time.
“Uh, that’s… … .”
Meanwhile, Iris opened her eyes wide.
As if I heard something unexpected.
“Anyway, my thoughts haven’t changed.”
Ulan answered firmly.
Iris eventually let out a short sigh as her stubborn attitude continued.
“Phew, I understand. If it is your wish, I will serve as the representative of Class 3.”
Iris finally gave up her stubbornness.
Ulan smiled contentedly.
With this, I can pass on all the troublesome problems that will arise in the future to Iris. At the end of the last discussion.
“There you are.”
Suddenly, someone poked Ulan’s waist with a finger. She was Camilla Tanesia, who had been quietly watching their conversation.
“I have one question.”
“… … ?”
“According to rumors, you are very strong. Can I ask how strong you are?”
A question that comes out of nowhere.
Ulan asked back in confusion.
“Why are you suddenly asking that?”
“Actually, there are some events where it is advantageous to be strong during the game. So, depending on how strong you are, I’m going to decide on an event in advance.”
Ah, that was the reason.
Ulan nodded silently.
He then immediately provided an answer to resolve Camilla’s doubts.
“I’m a little stronger than others.”
“little? “Specifically?”
“Well, it’s kind of hard to explain.”
It was clear that he was strong, but it was difficult to put into words how strong he was. So, as I was pondering her answer, Camilla asked again.
“Then can I try it? Oh, of course, you have to be without Aurors.”
“However much.”
“Okay, then… … .”
Camilla looked around.
The purpose was to find an object that could test Ulan’s strength. Then, as if he had found something good, his eyes sparkled and he said.
“Can you lift that?”
A forest behind the barracks.
There were leftover materials left over from the sports day lying around. Camilla pointed to a log that had been split in half.
“Camilla, even so, that’s a bit…” … .”
Iris looked reluctant.
Of course, I know very well that Ulan is powerful. During the friendly mock battle, he even threw the student council president upside down on the ground.
However, the log that Camilla pointed to was too big. It’s so big that five or six adults can barely lift it.
‘I wouldn’t know if I used an Auror.’
Something impossible with pure power alone.
Iris was so sure. However, her confidence was soon shattered. It was because Ulan had lifted her tree.
simplicity and honesty! Wood clatter!
Tree roots that were deeply embedded in the ground came out into the world. Afterwards, Ulan lifted the tree above his head and slammed it into the ground.
Couuuuuuuuuck!
A loud roar that echoes the ground.
Ulan turned around, watching the clouds of dust rise. She then looked at Camilla, who had a blank expression on her face, and spoke.
“Is this enough?”
“No, that’s not what I said.”
“hmm? “This isn’t it?”
“Ugh, that’s what I was saying.”
Camilla smiles awkwardly.
As she said, the log she first pointed to was still there.
‘On the other hand, what Ulan lifted… … .’
A large tree that has taken root at the entrance of the forest.
It is a tree so thick that a dozen people can barely wrap it around it.
I can’t believe I pulled this out by myself.
Iris’s eyes were wide open at the sight of a monstrous power that far surpassed the scope of common sense.
“… … !”
An expression that clearly shows embarrassment.
It was worth it.
Something that cannot be guaranteed to be possible even with the use of aurors was achieved with pure power alone.
Meanwhile, facing the two embarrassed girls, Ulan tilted his head and muttered.
“Surprisingly.”
“W-what?”
“It looks like anyone can lift it, so I thought it was meant to be this.”
Iris was speechless.
Then I quickly came to my senses.
‘Anyway, this is enough.’
It is confirmed that he will win the championship in all sports that require strength. This meant that there was no longer a need to test one’s strength.
On the other hand, Camilla had different thoughts.
She asked back with sparkling eyes, perhaps aroused by her academic curiosity as a wizard.
“You know, you know.”
“… … ?”
“Is it possible to destroy it?”
“Of course.”
After answering, he stretched out his hand.
puck! Quad Deuk!
A hand quickly digging into a huge tree.
After a while, it took less than 10 seconds for a large hole to open. Seeing this, Camilla seemed even more excited and fanned herself.
“Hey, are you really going to destroy this?”
“Then next time, please ask for that too!”
“huh? Are you going to destroy that too?”
“… … uh?”
After that, he spoke less and less.
Then, his complexion soon became pale.
It was because I was trying out various things out of sudden curiosity and realized it late.
The place was devastated.
“… … .”
All the large trees and rocks around were uprooted or broken. The scene changed horribly, as if it had been hit by a huge bomb.
Meanwhile, Ulan, who had committed these atrocities, seemed to be still not satisfied, and kept looking around to find something to destroy.
“I don’t think this alone is enough.”
“no! “It’s not enough at all!”
Camilla hurriedly threw up her hand.
On the other hand, Ulan held his tongue low.
“It’s a shame. “I wish I had something solid enough to show off all my strength.”
“So it’s okay!”
“Oh, that would be nice.”
What he pointed to was none other than the tower.
It was a memorial tower built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Arsene Academy.
It is a tower made of magic stone, which is famous for its strength, and is so strong that it cannot even be scratched unless you are an Auror.
However, it seemed like Ulan would really break it, so the two girls desperately tried to stop it.
“It’s over now, you can stop!”
“This is enough. “I think I’ll be fine to compete in any game that requires strength!”
“Right. understood.”
Fortunately, the conversation worked.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief with faces that had been missing for ten years.
At the same time, the two girls made a decision.
It was a firm resolve not to test Ulan’s strength no matter what happened from now on.
[Notice from the student headquarters.]
It was around the time that I had made some sort of resolution.
A voice amplifying device was activated at the broadcasting station in the center of the stadium.
[The opening ceremony will begin soon.]
[Accordingly, each team will be introduced, so class representatives and vice-representatives are requested to gather at the podium in the main stadium.]
Introduction of each team.
Is there really a need to do something like that?
Ulan tilted his head.
As if they had realized his question, Camilla and Iris each gave their own answers.
“You can think of it as an opportunity to introduce the representative and vice-representative of each class and predict which class will be the strong candidate for the championship.”
“Last year, there were even bets among professors on which class would win.”
“Well, that won’t happen this year.”
To be exact, the bet itself will never come to fruition. Because, from anyone’s perspective, the person who was likely to win was right next to me.
Camilla shrugged.
On the other hand, Ulan asked back as if he was puzzled.
“Why is that so?”
“… … “Are you asking because you really don’t know?”
“Would you have asked if you knew?”
Ulan looks puzzled.
Seeing this, Camilla suddenly realized something.
Despite his overwhelming power, he is surprisingly clueless.
[I’ll say it again.]
[The representative and vice-representative of each class… … .]
“Phew, let’s go first. “I’ll tell you as I go.”
“Sure.”
Ulan nodded and turned around.
Afterwards, I headed to the podium in front of the broadcaster with Iris and Camilla.
Some time after that.
As soon as the representatives and vice-representatives of each team gathered, the opening ceremony began. It was the start of the Arsene Sports Festival, which will last for a total of three days.
