Chapter 76 – Academy Martial Arts Competition
Lena grabs my clothes tightly and shows her displeasure, but I don’t think I can ignore Jazlyn’s orders.
“Sister Lena. I think she must go this time. Let’s play together later.”
“Ugh… Is Jazlyn more important to Zeon?”
“Sister. It’s not like that. This is public. “Lena is more important to me.”
“Okay. Then you have to play with me later!”
“Yes!”
Lena rushed over after hearing my answer.
When Lena disappeared, Gopi tapped me and asked with a sly smile.
“Who are you?”
“My girlfriend.”
“You have a taste for young women.”
“Lena is older than I.”
“You look young.”
“Appearance is not important. Gopi brother. But you must keep this a secret.”
“Is there a need to hide it?”
“Please~”
“You’re probably doing this because you’re not honorable either. “I respect your taste.”
The reason I was trying to hide it was to attack Jazlyn and Kalere later, but it was misunderstood as if I was trying to hide the fact that I liked younger women.
“Zion. But is he a dwarf?”
“I’m human.”
“I understand.”
The reason Gopi asks this question is that adult dwarf women look as young as children by human standards. Among dwarf women, there are also busty loli, so they are not complete children. Dwarf men are muscular men with long beards that grow sideways.
I followed Gopi to the royal guard room in the club building.
When entering the royal guard room, Jazlyn is sitting on a luxurious office chair, and Paris, Calele, and Silver Badge seniors are sitting on chairs around her.
“Gopi. Zeon. You are here. Please sit in the front.”
Now Jazlyn invites me to sit down. I once again realize that my status in the SS has greatly improved.
Aaaaae~ aaaaae~
The sound of flies broke this concentration.
‘There are flies flying around inside, but no one cares?’
Since people ignored me, I decided to draw attention to Paris.
As Gopi and I sat down, Jazlyn spoke with a serious expression.
“You all saw the announcement of the martial arts competition, right?”
“Yes!!!”
“I am going to participate in a team competition with you. There are exactly 10 people in this room, which is appropriate for the number of people in the group exhibition. Please do not participate in individual competitions and focus on group competitions. “Do you have any objections?”
“No!!!”
“According to my sources, the Kasha Clan, World Tree Guardians, and Hammer Guild have also decided to have their elite members compete in group competitions. These enemies are quite difficult, but I must win because the honor of the humans and myself is at stake. Do you have any questions?”
There are also elves and dwarves in this academy. Elves are a long-lived species and are tall, beautiful, and have long ears. The owner of the Elven Kingdom is the World Tree, and the High Elf Queen receives instructions from the World Tree and manages the country. Elves love nature, and most of them are spiritists and are good at shooting arrows. The World Tree Guardians are a group of elf students from the west of the continent who use spirits to make the academy more nature-friendly.
Dwarves are short, muscular men with beards, and women are loli by human standards. The Dwarven Kingdom lies beneath the mountains in the southern part of the continent and is ruled by dragons. Dwarves have high magic resistance and are strong, but they cannot use magic and are the best at making magic tools and weapons on this continent. Dwarf men wear heavy armor and use shields and hammers as their main weapons. Dwarf women wear work clothes and hard hats, and make and carry magic guns, magic cannons, and golems. The Hammer Guild is a group of dwarf students from the southern part of the continent who produce and research magic tools and weapons.
There are novel heroines on the elf and dwarf sides, but to meet them, you have to go directly to the elf kingdom and dwarf kingdom, and even if you go, it is not an easy place to meet them. Unfortunately, you can’t get these heroines right now.
According to my memory of reading the novel, in the tournament, Jazzlin’s SS clashes with Clan Kasha in the semifinals and is defeated, with all of her teammates seriously injured and her losing her mind. She later clashes with the World Tree Guardians in the third place match, but the damage inflicted on the Kasha Clan is too great, and she loses.
Joan raised her hand and asked Jazlyn.
“Jazlyn. “Can I ask you a question?”
“Do it.”
“Why are you forming a team with us? With Jazlyn’s abilities, wouldn’t she be able to form a team with only strong students like Paris or Calle Le?”
“That’s a good question. If I do my best, I can bribe the competition administrators and form a team of the school’s best students just to win this competition. Because I have the ability and power to do that. However, rumors spread that I am someone who will do anything to win. Rumors are not something you can hide just because you want to. I don’t want that kind of notoriety. “I will prove that my insight is excellent by winning with you, the loyal subjects I personally selected.”
“Jazleen… I am loyal!!”
Joen loudly pledges her loyalty, as if she is so moved, and her other SS members also look at Jazlyn with emotion. With her haughty face, Jazlyn takes for granted the loyalty and respect showered upon her.
Jazlyn said, scanning her guards.
“In the team competition, I will act as the brain that directs you. Recently, Magic Tower developed ear radios, and I purchased ten of them. Due to the nature of communication magic, communication is only possible at close range, but the distance is sufficient to be used in team competition terrain. “I will give you instructions via walkie-talkie during the team competition.”
“I understand!!!”
“In order for me to properly command you, I need to know everything about your abilities from top to bottom, right? Fortunately, I know everything about you, except for the new Zeon.”
Pride appears on the faces of the SS.
Jazlyn pointed at me with her fan and gave instructions.
“Zion. Explain everything you can do.”
For some reason, I felt like things were going to go like this. I am the most useless member of this team. I can’t reveal hypnosis, and I’m not particularly good at mental magic, which is my specialty. But that doesn’t mean you can shout, ‘I don’t know how to do anything!’ If this happens, there is only one thing I can claim.
“I am a mind wizard and I am very lucky!!!”
For a moment, silence flowed around. Looking around, everyone, including Jazleen, was looking puzzled.
Gopi tapped my shoulder and tried to resolve the situation.
Haha. Zeon. “You can’t joke here.”
“I am so lucky! I won second place in the Magic Tower Lotto twice!!”
Roaring
Some people are impressed by my remarks.
“I have never won in the Magic Tower Lotto. “I guess I’m really lucky!”
“Isn’t it just a coincidence?”
At that moment, Paris, who was sitting next to Jazleen, jumped up from her chair, her face turning red and blue, and got angry.
“Hey! Are you kidding me?! How would you express luck quantitatively? “You think I’m unlucky?!”
Seeing that Jazlyn did not stop Paris, it seems that she silently agreed with Paris’ actions.
Paris let out her breath and stepped hard on the floor as she came towards me.
Thump thump thump, rumbling, rumbling, kwadang
“Ouch!”
But Paris couldn’t reach me because he slipped on someone’s spilled water.
Paris screamed, standing up and shaking off her clothes.
“Someone sprinkled this water!”
“Hey. I think it’s me. I spilled water earlier while drinking it, but I thought it would dry anyway, so I left it there. “I’m sorry.”
The cause was gopi.
Paris glared at me, perhaps because she was losing face, and then returned to her seat. Paris’ face became that of chewing shit.
Jazlyn mumbled, tilting her head slightly.
“That’s fascinating. Was it a coincidence that Paris fell? Or is she Zeon’s luck? Let’s see if we can avoid this too.”
Jazlyn took her pencil out of her pocket and threw it in my face.
Piyuuung
Perhaps because Jazlyn trains her rapier on a regular basis, the flying force of her pencil is unusual.
The moment the pencil got closer to my face.
Aaaaa its bye… Wh…
A fly that had been flying from earlier accidentally hit her pencil, changed its path and landed on the table. The pencil passed by my face.
This time, everyone in the room opened their eyes wide in surprise. Gopi even jumped up from the chair.
“I guess Zeon is really lucky!”
“Is there really such a person?”
“When you win 2nd place in the lottery, Paris knocks it over and even damages her pencil!”
Jazlyn threw her head back and thought for a moment.
‘Hmm… How should I accept this? Why did Gopi spill the water? Why have we been ignoring that fly until now? Does luck really exist and does it affect reality?’
Calere suggested to Jazlyn, who was lost in a sea of thoughts.
“My lord. How about having everyone in this room play blackjack with Zeon? If Zeon defeats everyone, it can be said that Zeon is statistically lucky.”
“That’s a good idea. “I actually have to bet 10 gold each.”
Blackjack is a type of card game. You are initially given two cards, and you win the game by combining the numbers of the cards and getting them as close to 21 as possible. If the first two cards you receive add up to 21, it becomes a blackjack. If it does not reach 21, you can continue drawing as many cards as you wish by shouting ‘Hit’. The moment the sum of the card numbers exceeds 21, it is called a ‘bust’ and the party loses.
According to Jazleen’s orders, I had to risk my own money and play blackjack with all 9 people, including Jazleen.
When I first beat one person, everyone thought that was it.
When I won for the 7th time in a row, everyone was silent.
The 8th opponent was Paris.
Paris held up her deck of cards.
“I shuffle the cards.”
Crash clap
After Paris shuffled the cards, she laid them down on the table.
Paris gave Zeon two cards and took out his own two cards.
‘Hmm. Is it 3 and 6?’
“Hit.”
Paris took out one more sheet.
‘Huh! It’s A!’
Since I can be calculated as 1 or 11, Paris’ total score is 20.
‘Unless Zeon rolls a 20 or 21, I will definitely win!’
“Stay.”
Paris stopped pulling at this point, and Jion also shouted Stay.
Let’s look at each other’s cards. Paris had 3, 6, and A for a total score of 20, and Zeon had 4, 7, and 10 for a total score of 21.
“Damn it!”
Paris slammed her cards down on the table and stood up.
My last opponent was Jazlyn.
“No matter how lucky you are, you will never be able to beat my brain.”
Jazlyn decided to beat Zeon by calculating probabilities.
After Jazlyn shuffled the cards, she handed Zeon two cards.
