[Quest: Lead the Friendly Match Against Kanzar Academy to Victory]
—Reward: 15,000 Mana Points (x2)
—Reward: Unlocks the Trait Menu
—Reward: Trait ‘Leader's Charisma’
=====
Trait Menu.
Like achievements, the menu must be unlocked through quests to be activated.
After activation, trait-related quests may appear, and trait rewards may accompany the completion of regular quests.
'The Achievement Menu followed by the Trait Menu.’
Clearing this quest will unlock both menus in the first year.
‘The faster you activate the menu, the more you can gain.’
In the previous playthrough, the Trait Menu was not unlocked until the fourth year.
I didn't even get to see what the 'Leader's Charisma' trait, the reward for this quest, was.
While Davian was checking the quest notification window.
"Keuhuk!"
The sound of Brenton getting beaten began to be heard.
Pow!
The martial arts student from Kanzar Academy went straight out of the circle and began to beat Brenton.
Thwack!
"What, what is it! Rex, shouldn't we help?"
"Brenton, you stupid bastard!"
Rex sent out three more of his gang.
So, 4 vs. 2.
Of course, they will also send support troops.
But before that, if we push the guy with the wooden sword out of the circle, we can pull out the flag.
Rex turned his head and looked at Davian's group at the very back.
'While that unlucky Davian is doing that in the back. We must pull out the first flag!'
Elton Academy's victory is as good as certain.
Rex's mind was full of the thought that he had to surpass Davian's group, which has been a hot topic and receiving attention lately.
'I must make a big contribution to this friendly match. So that those Gray Bear Expedition guys or whatever can't cause any more trouble. The most notable person in this grade will be me, Rex Flumen.'
Since he created a 4 vs. 2 situation, the flag in that circle where the two were standing would soon be taken.
Rex turned his head to look for the next target.
At that moment.
Crack!
The sound of wooden swords colliding.
Thwack!
The sound of getting hit.
"Ugh!"
A sound of not even being able to scream properly, as if hit in the solar plexus.
But.
The voices that were heard were familiar.
Surprised, Rex turned his head again.
"What, what is it!"
He sent four people.
Far from pulling out the flag, they were being pushed back and beaten.
Were those two guys the aces, by any chance!
"This won't do! Everyone, let's go!"
If those two are Kanzar Academy's aces.
All the better.
He will catch the aces from the start and make a contribution.
All seven of Rex's gang, who were left, crossed the center line and jumped in.
The goal is the flag in the circle guarded by the two aces.
Rex joined the front line at the fastest speed.
Rex swung his sword greatly at the guy with the wooden sword.
Crack!
The guy raised his sword and blocked Rex's sword.
As expected, he is not ordinary.
"Are you the ace?"
No reply.
Instead, a sharp thrusting attack came.
"Not a chance!"
Rex's swordsmanship is also not to be underestimated.
Rex deflected the opponent's sword with a smooth movement.
Meanwhile, Rex's other gang member swung his sword from behind.
Crack!
The wooden sword struck the Kanzar Academy student's waist.
But the guy didn't even let out a small groan.
Pow!
Rex kicked the guy's abdomen hard.
An attack that poured in all the internal energy he had.
Only then did he grab his stomach and kneel on the floor.
"Worthless."
At that moment.
"Re, Rex!"
An urgent voice.
Rex's head turned towards the direction from which the voice came.
The place the gang member who shouted was pointing at.
Dozens of Kanzar Academy students were rushing towards Rex's gang.
"E, everyone retreat! Pull out the flag first!"
"This guy is still holding out!"
The martial arts student went back into the circle and stood his ground again.
The flag cannot be pulled out if the opponent is inside the circle.
Whoosh!
Large fireballs began to fly in from here and there.
Kanzar Academy's counterattack.
"Damn it! Retreat for now!"
Bang!
One of Rex's gang members, hit by a fireball, was engulfed in flames.
"Retreat! Retreat! Damn it! We underestimated the opponent too much!"
Latia, who was watching this scene from the very back, turned her head and looked at Davian.
"You're right, Davian."
"When was I ever wrong?"
"That fireball just now. It's at least 4-star."
"I told you. Our academy kids can't handle those guys. All one hundred of them over there are like that. Only you or Bonita would be able to barely go 1 on 1 with them."
Bonita, who was listening to their conversation, nodded.
"I think so too. Look over there."
The place Bonita was pointing at.
Kanzar Academy students with wooden swords were dealing with Rex's gang, who were trying to retreat, one by one.
Tremendous speed.
Besides, the sword strikes were so sharp that Rex's gang members fell to the ground one by one each time a wooden sword was swung.
The facilitators hurriedly carried stretchers and began to run into the arena.
Nubes shouted.
"Over there!"
This time, the opposite side.
Kanzar Academy students crossed the center line and attacked the circle guarded by Elton Academy students.
Bang!
Crash!
Thwack!
Helplessly.
In an instant, Elton Academy students fell.
Elton Academy, where four flags were pulled out in less than 5 minutes.
VIP seats.
A cackling laughter grated on the ears of Elton Academy professors.
It was President Probito's laughter.
"President Hugo or Head of the Sirims Department of Magic should have seen this. It's a pity. To be beaten without being able to do anything. Was Elton Academy's long-standing reputation all a bubble?"
President Probito looked delighted.
On the other hand.
Elton Academy's professors were all standing up from their seats.
"N, no... how."
"Look at the movement of that student over there. I can't believe it's a first-year student with that much internal energy..."
"What about the students in the Department of Magic? What happened in the last year..."
Even as Elton Academy's professors looked around the arena with surprised eyes.
Elton Academy students were carried out one after another on stretchers.
Some of them appeared to have sustained quite serious injuries.
"How is it, Professor Mateo. Looks like it will be a game to go down in history as I said, right?"
"……."
"From the beginning, you've been sweeping away all the kids who are a bit good. Pretending to nurture talent with some great education at the academy will also be over this year."
"That's an overstatement."
"Elton Academy's bubble is an overstatement."
President Probito pointed to the stadium.
"Looking at the state of those feeble kids, it seems like Head of the Sirims Department of Magic and President Hugo have also had their day."
The place President Probito was pointing at.
The Elton Academy student whose waist was hit by a wooden sword and whose bone was broken was just being carried out on a stretcher.
Professor Mateo turned to look at President Probito.
"President, it's just a friendly match, but some students' attacks seem too excessive. I think we should suspend the game for a while and give them a warning once..."
Probito, while sitting, raised his head and looked at Mateo.
"Warning? What warning are you talking about. In the past 33 years, has Elton Academy ever stopped a game while winning a friendly match to give a warning to the students?"
"Our students have never done that much..."
Probito waved his hand once, cutting off Professor Mateo's words.
"That's what you think. Besides. Isn't it unavoidable. To win against the students of Elton Academy, which claims to be the best educational institution on the continent, it's natural to go all out, isn't it?"
Probito turned his head in the opposite direction and looked at the faculty of Kanzar Academy.
"Isn't that right?"
One of the emaciated professors of magic nodded.
"That's right. Even if we pour everything we have, we don't know if we'll be able to compete, so we can't overcome Elton Academy by playing softly and having a game."
This time, Professor Stella stepped forward.
"President! It's just a friendly match, but if we keep going like this, the students could get seriously hurt!"
"That's why we set up a temporary infirmary. Oh, then let's do this. Since our infirmary is free, we'll accept Elton Academy students in our infirmary as well."
When President Probito gestured, a young professor quickly approached the podium where the host was and conveyed the message.
Soon, the host's announcement echoed.
—Due to the large number of injuries, facilitators are requested to divide and transport students to both infirmaries, regardless of their camp.
"We've given you a lot of consideration with this much. How is it, beautiful teacher."
Stella clenched her fist tightly.
"I'm Professor Stella Cloud. Not a beautiful teacher."
"Now, now, everyone, sit down and continue watching the game. Isn't it a historic day. The day Kanzar Academy becomes the best academy on the continent. From next year, all the freshmen who are said to be top-notch will apply to our Kanzar Academy."
Probito's unpleasant laughter filled the VIP seats.
"Oh, and I've told our students not to kill anyone if possible, so don't worry too much. Aren't they all talents who will carry the future of Alkancia?"
Stella sat back in her seat with her arms trembling.
Crack!
The handle of the chair she was gripping was broken as it was.
Stella, who was constantly watching the students who were collapsing with worried eyes.
'Damn it. There's not enough justification.'
It's not just because of President Probito's position or age that she can't stop the game.
From the beginning, this is a friendly match to compete with each other's skills.
The difference in skill between the two academies is so great that until now, Elton Academy students have been taking it easy.
Professor Stella's gaze turned to the outsiders prepared on the south side.
'There are too many eyes watching. From the beginning, it's a game to take flags through duels, so we can't stop the game just because there are some injuries.'
Even in the meantime, Elton Academy's flags were being pulled out one after another.
Only dozens of students have already been carried out of the stadium on stretchers.
Most of them were Elton Academy students.
Behind the Elton Academy camp.
"How long do we have to keep watching this, Davian?"
"I told you, it's no use stepping out now. No matter how strong we are, we can't defend the entire stadium. Also, even if we go on a counterattack, the game will be over if all of our flags are pulled out in the meantime."
Liber nodded.
"We need to awaken. Our kids themselves."
"Right now, we're being pushed back helplessly, but still, they were all kids who made a name for themselves before entering the school. Besides, they're full of pride in Elton Academy. After a while, the moment of desperate resistance will come."
Latia asked.
"Can you be sure? That the moment of desperate resistance will come after setting up a do-or-die strategy? What if we just keep getting pushed back like this and it ends?"
Sure?
I can.
Because I've already experienced it.
With the last three flags left.
All the remaining Elton Academy students are cornered in the corner of the stadium.
The real battle starts from then on.
It is from then on that serious casualties occur.
The Elton Academy students, who have set up a do-or-die strategy, enter a period of endurance, knocking down quite a few opponents.
Eventually, however, they lose.
And if Davian's calculations are correct.
Even if Davian's group is inside that do-or-die strategy, the result will not be overturned.
Skill is skill, but the number of remaining opponents is too large.
The deepest corner of Elton Academy's camp.
Elton Academy students naturally had no choice but to gather in one place.
There are four flags left.
About 20 students are still holding out without being carried out of the stadium.
"Billy! Buy me some time!"
"Okay!"
While Billy was buying time by swinging his wooden sword.
Elaine Bristin's fire element magic burst out.
"Colson!"
"I'm going!"
This time, Colson Blake's wind element magic.
The wind element magic, manifested in a whirlwind shape, combined with Elaine's fire element magic to create a huge fire whirlwind.
"Did you think we would lose that easily!"
Elaine and Colson's magic attack was quite effective, but.
In the meantime, one more circle over there was taken.
There are three flags left.
Elaine inadvertently spat out a curse.
"Damn it! What are the male and female student representatives doing!"
