Chapter 276 – 78. Preparations for Deepening Magical Battle (2)
Said Fabian with a very surprised expression.
“Marquis Julian… No, Count! Unexpected results came out!!”
“Who won?”
“That commoner witch… Rosette won!”
Although I expected Still, there was quite a fuss among the organizers.
“Rosette is a commoner. It is also famous for its beauty, if it is the young Ae of the Marquis of Aitern. You mean you beat Chloe-sama?”
“But when I saw the horse statue, it was worth it. Shall we say that it is a completely different charm from Chloe-sama?”
“But. Rather, the response was good because of its novelty. Still, this result will be a big topic before the match starts?”
Having overheard their words, Fabian spoke.
“Of course, I also took Rosette instead of Lady Chloe, but the result was unexpected. It must be a pretty shocking result for the Marquis.”
Fabian was right. But nothing bad for me. If Chloe, because of that anger, concentrates more on the battle against the enemy. Because she will lead her growth.
‘Chloe doesn’t have variables like the Witch’s Cross.’
When I heard the results from him, Rosette was 60%. And he said Chloe got the remaining 40% of the votes.
As for me, it was a horse statue that I put my heart and soul into. Still, the fact that 40% of her was taken by Chloe meant, of course, that her beauty was properly recognized in this pantheon.
‘Huh…’
And while listening to the results from Fabian. Once again Lilia moved her hand diligently.
“Why is that, Count Julian?”
Lillia touched her sensitive spot, causing her body to flinch. To those words, Lillia replied with a benevolent smile.
“Because I made a bet with Yulian-nim. It was probably regrettable that Miss Chloe walked on the winning side.”
“Okay. Your Highness Lilia! As expected, Count Julian must have wanted to see a nobleman win.”
“Oh. Not really. Whether Count Julian was an aristocrat or a commoner. He has a generous heart that does not discriminate.”
“Oh oh. Okay. As expected, Count Julian is amazing. You really have the heart of a Marquis, no, like the successor of a Marquis.”
I’ve never made a bet like that at all. Lillia deftly passed her words.
And even that promiscuous Southern Golden Sun Fabian.
The fact that the third princess of the empire, famous for being benevolent and chaste, was stimulating me in the middle of a crowd like this. You can’t even imagine
‘Lilia… Has it piled up again?’
Come to think of it, the day at the church that took her virginity. Since that day, she has not shared her sexuality with Lilia.
Things in the Empire are busy, and Liliani is always as busy as I am.
In the meantime, Fabian bowed his head to the two of them and went back to clean up the vote.
And as he went, Lilia paused her hand and whispered in her ear.
“Hmm. Still, that Fabian is not rumored among the female cadets. That Julian-sama is a truly amazing person. I think he knows very well. Whoops.”
Come to think of it, she was very used to Fabian’s praise.
‘Since you always say that, I’m used to it, too.’
But Fabian is also the son of a Southern count. Lilia seemed even more delighted with the words that the other person cheered her up on.
‘As expected of Lilia.’
It was lovely to see that kind figure who only thought of me. I also gently touched Lilia’s butt.
“What’s wrong?!”
Unexpected teachings flowed out. It was a very loud voice, but the quick-witted sylph prevented the sound from leaking out between the two.
I wanted to do something fun with Lilia like this, but. I had something important to do today, so I suppressed that sexual desire.
“His Highness Lilia. Sooner or later… I want to be with Your Highness.”
And Lilia, realizing the meaning behind my words, blushed terribly.
“Yes, I like it. Hurry up… Hurry up, I’ll make time for it.”
Then Lilia touched my hand with her very strange touch. Once again, she kept her infatuation under control.
***
I shouted at the cadets lined up in front of me.
“Now then, the areas assigned to each group. We will begin patrolling the area. In case of any problems, contact the coachmen in your assigned area!”
“Yeah! Count Julian.”
The cadets who acted as the organizers of the match. The cadets greeted me in unison.
“Everyone is in the military. No, it’s Count Julian’s order, so you must follow it like that.”
Fabian, standing next to me, spoke to me with a very happy expression.
[That man is a very unique person. A person who has it written on his face because he is openly southerner like that. Northerner Julian, to be so loyal to you.]
Erti was right. The situation in Island is shaking very violently. That’s why the factional fight between the Pantheon’s cadets became fiercer than before.
Just like the atmosphere of Ma Yeonjeon, which is hotter than usual. Of course, there was a confrontation between the magic sect representing the common people and the magic sect representing the nobility.
Even among the same aristocratic cadets, factions between the emperor faction and the southern faction were increasingly divided.
Of course Fabian, who is from the south, would be right to stay away from me, the representative of the imperial cadets.
When he started school and now, his attitude towards me has not changed.
[What, do perverts communicate?]
[How does Ertiga know that Fabian is a pervert?]
[If you’re a woman, there’s no way you wouldn’t know that! A man with yellow hair and dark skin like that. He must be pervert likes taking other people’s women.]
[Okay. By the way, did you say pervert to me? Then, what is the identity of Erti who mixed with Pervert?]
[…
Of course, it is an old virgin holy sword with more sexual desire than me. As soon as I hit the mark, Erti became quiet.
Anyway, the cadets in charge of patrol moved to their respective areas. I am standing on the street in front of the Pantheon.
The streets outside the Pantheon were very busy. The location itself where the Pantheon is located is also close to the center of the ecliptic, and merchants have gathered in the academy, which is like a university.
So there are too many taverns. And when the atmosphere was overheated due to the battle of magic like now, there were frequent quarrels between the hot-blooded cadets.
“A few days ago, the cadets of the alchemy order and the cadets of the magic order had a rather big fight. The cadets were fine. I heard that the damage to the tavern was so great that there were quite a few protests against the Pantheon.”
As Fabian said. Every single day, in the downtown area, I heard the sound of cadets from the two groups hitting and fucking.
‘Isn’t this an era where commoners are patient like before?’
From the beginning, it was the principle that the students of the Pantheon did not distinguish between their identities. And the graduates of the Pantheon were guaranteed important positions in the Empire.
For example, even if you are a commoner cadet, the moment you join the knights, you will be treated like a noble.
Whether entering the Magic Tower or becoming a bureaucrat in the imperial palace. Because Pantheon’s students are very proud of themselves as Pantheon’s students.
In such an atmosphere, even commoner cadets could not stand the quarrels of noble cadets.
‘Well, even if you are a noble. Not everyone is the highest-ranking aristocrat like me or Chloe.’
Of course, even so, there are exceptions for me and Chloe, who are looked up to by the same nobles.
Anyway, while listening to Fabian’s chatter, I continued to move to the area I was in charge of.
And the current patrol team that I intentionally assigned. That is, there was another cadet in my patrol team.
“Hey, Riff. You said you stopped the fight a few days ago. Wasn’t there anything more fun to talk about? Talk to me if you have.”
“Yes…? What did you say, Fabian?”
It was Riff, the representative of the cadets of the Combat Order. Fabian, who was friendly, seemed quite friendly with Leaf. And Fabian was an aristocrat and Leaf was a commoner, but he seemed to have stopped talking before he knew it.
‘Perhaps they became close in the secret arena.’
An underground arena where swordsmanship guilds gathered to share their skills.
In the wind that the chase party stirred up a lot at Cardinal Grius’s banquet. The finals between Izeltier and I were also fuzzy.
Although, for me, there was no point in going in and out anymore. Fabian and Riff seem to have been in and out of that place quite a bit.
‘Leaf… He must be feeling a lot of impatience.’
Although he was the representative cadet of the combat order. It was because of me and Lucia, who were like a stone rolled in, that ranking was pushed down.
But Riff is great. And as a commoner, he is also excellent at leadership, making him the talent the Witch’s Cross Society is aiming for.
According to the original story of Demon King’s Slaughter, if Leaf is persuaded by the Witch’s Cross, it becomes a pretty troublesome enemy after Part 2.
‘Because if it’s a really hard difficulty, it will turn black from the start of the magic battle.’
And such a riffney. Of course, it was natural for her to feel awkward in this place with me. But I had already planned a way to get him on my side.
I have a very cooperative Fabian.
‘Because I could naturally use the friendship between Fabian and Leaf.’
So naturally, I created a patrol team. And when it comes to men. Rather, there is a much easier way than when there is a woman.
‘The three of us should have a drink.’
And at that moment, I remembered that Fabian was a promiscuous party that I had been talking about all along.
***
“You crazy children! Please stop!!”
Fabian desperately shouted.
The three patrolling people were contacted by a coachman and headed to a nearby pub. Quite a large pub with up to 2 floors.
In the middle of it, two cadets were fighting.
“Alchemist! Fuck that wizard!!”
“Wizard, what are you doing! I will burn you to death!”
And the drunks at the tavern watched their fight and rather encouraged it.
‘It’s bloody.’
Even if they are cadets, the cadets of the Pantheon are the most elite of the Empire.
Two cadets from the Order of Magic and the Order of Alchemy. Those two are using mana while drunk.
Inside the tavern, a whirlwind of fire and hideous weapons created through alchemy were mixed together, creating a very bloody scene.
“Still… I feel fortunate. You don’t attack directly.”
Riff told me. As he said, the cadets of the two groups summoned a lot of incantations for threats, and were screaming at each other.
“You bastard alchemist, if you’re a noble! If you twist it, let’s open it!”
“You cheeky commoner child! Dare to the nobles! Disrespect for nobles is an imperial law…”
“It doesn’t apply to Pantheon cadets! Are you scared! Are you intimidated by commoners?”
“This bastard! I personally teach you the truth of alchemy…”
The argument went on for a long time. Although Fabian vigorously stepped forward to stop the two of them.
The spell created by the two drunken cadets was so dangerous and unsettling that he couldn’t find the timing to intervene.
‘The cadets look pretty strong, after all.’
And for a fight between cadets, it was quite intense. Said Fabian.
“No, no matter how bad the relationship between the two teams was, a fistfight was just about everything. Are these guys really crazy…”
Perhaps the minions of the Witch’s Cross. It may have instigated a fight between the two. You know that this kind of commotion will make the atmosphere of the battle of magic even more intense.
“Count Julian. Let me dry it!”
When Fabian, who was trying to find the timing to intervene, failed to stretch, Leaf stepped forward this time.
However, he was pushed back by the mana pressure created by the two cadets, and in the end his attempt went in vain.
“What should I do, Count Julian? This, the prosecutor alone might not be able to stop those crazy drunks…”
Like Fabian said. I don’t know if it’s a one-on-one match.
To get such talented cadets into a state of excitement and completely subdue them. At least you need a skill that is several times greater than them.
“For a moment. I will stop them.”
“The Count? However, because of the magic and alchemy that the two of you cast, mana interference… Could be dangerous for you!”
“You don’t have to worry. Fabian.”
I approached the two cadets. I could feel the eyes of the bar’s patrons focusing on me.
“Up, it’s dangerous!”
I heard a riff shouting from behind.
But calmly, I reached out my hand to the center where the heinous magic and alchemy collided.
