Chapter 126: CH 1.5

Chapter 1. [Episode 5]

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The first exam seemed to be swordsmanship. There seemed to be more than 200 people taking the test.

The goal was simple. You have to beat your opponent with a sword. Simple and clear.

[Lucifer …… or Theodore ……?]

Rena calls out to me, looking puzzled.

[Whatever you want. What is it?]

[Well then, Master Lucifer. The test is won by defeating or subduing your opponent, but if you kill him, you will be disqualified. Please be careful.]

[Oh, I see. I thought I just had to take their heads off.]

[That would leave us with no applicants for admission!]

[Indeed.]

Immediately afterward, the person in charge gave me a wooden sword as a weapon to use.

The sword is made of wood and has a very strong blade.

…… with this strength, it will break a neck if you’ll hit it too hard. How much should I adjust?

As I was thinking about this while observing the surface of the wooden sword, many of the people around me came to me at once.

Hmm? Huh? Did they find out I’m a demon by any chance?

While I was sweating coldly inside, the people surrounding me called out to me at once.

[Hey, you. You wanna fight me?]

[Come fight me!]

[You better pick me. I won’t hurt you.]

What is this?

I don’t mind, but why are they pressing me so hard?

[Lucifer-sama. The content of the test is to select one of the applicants for admission and strike him down. Now, I think this is happening because you look weak in that …… blunt way, Master Lucifer.]

In short, are they judging competence by appearance? I wonder if there are only low-level ones.

I pointed at one person at random.

[Well, you there. Do you want to do it with me?]

[Oh, yeah! That’s what I’m talking about.]

A large man smirked, grabbed me by the shoulders, and brought me to the space where the match was to take place.

The man who seemed to be the examiner was an elderly military man. His eyes were sharp, and he seemed to have no room for error even when he was just standing there. He might be quite strong.

It would be more interesting to fight with him.

[Hey, don’t look away. Let’s hurry up and do it!]

[Oh, sorry .. . I’m ready.]

As I said this, tapping my shoulder with my wooden sword, the examiner shouted ‘Begin!’.

We glare at each other but do nothing. The other guy keeps smiling at me. He is waiting for me to cut him first.

The distance between them is about five meters.

The opponent is muscular and seems to be reasonably good with a sword. But not as good as an active soldier. In short, he is an unimportant opponent. I don’t even need to look at his movements.

[…… Hey! If it ain’t coming from you, it’s coming from me!]

Gah!

The examinee collapsed before he could say anything. He fell, spewing bubbles.

I closed the distance at once and struck him lightly on the side of the head with a wooden sword, and he seemed to have been hit.

I’ve got my …… power under control, okay? I can kill a single child now if I blow my nose and I’m capable of bursting an opponent with my eye power. You’re not dead, are you?

I’m a little nervous. I shook softly as I spoke to the fallen man.

[Are you okay? Are you alive?]

There was no answer. I put my hand on his neck and found a pulse, so he must be okay.

I looked at the examiner. The old man was still staring at me with his sharp eyes. Was it possible that I had failed? Or did he notice something from my movement?

[Um, I beat him. Is this not good enough?]

[…… What? Oh, that’s good. Yeah, you win! The winner is Theodore!]

It’s a bit of a letdown. I guess he just didn’t keep up with the movement and stopped to think.

[First of all, we’ve got one win. Let’s keep the momentum going]

[Yes. It would be nice if there was an opponent who could respond. It’s too easy and boring.]

I looked around and saw people who were so eager to fight me.

With a strange scream, they quickly flocked into the crowd of examinees.

After that, I completed the exam smoothly.

During the test, I often heard cheers, but they were not for me, but for a fearless young man with fiery red hair.

He kept his face tight and even after he had beaten his opponent, his expression remained unchanged and his whole body was overflowing with fighting spirit.

[He is the heir of the Earl of Lermit!]

[I don’t want to be in a fight with that guy.]

He comes from a well-known noble family. His movements are quite sophisticated. Without a doubt, he is probably the strongest among the candidates present.

Moreover, I can feel a considerable amount of magical energy surging from his body.

[Is it a magic swordsman?]

[I guess so. It looks interesting.]

A magic swordsman, as the name suggests, is a person who can handle magic and swordsmanship at will. The actuality of this is that it’s very rare to find a person who can handle both magic and swordsmanship at once. Most people only have one or the other.

At that moment, a wooden sword swung down on my head.

[Don’t look away!]

I half dodged the blow as my gaze adjusted to the earl’s heir, and then placed the wooden sword against his neck, knocking him into a stupor.

I don’t care about my own game. I could win even with my eyes closed.

My victory was declared, but my interest was no longer there.

[All right! Who wants to fight me next!]

A red-haired young man shouts, but the place is silent. There are already less than 20 people left. Despite his ability to have won this far, everyone is refusing to fight him.

It’s pathetic, but he seems to know the difference in skill between him and his opponents, so it looks like he’s not the only one who made it this far.

[Well, why don’t you play with me?]

I raise my hand, and a stir rises in the air.

[Who is that guy?]

[I don’t know. …… he’s too reckless.]

[But I just saw him. I saw him beat his opponent in an instant.]

The young man looked at me with sharp eyes, as if he didn’t hear all the noise.

[You’re very brave, that’s a good attitude! I am Keith Lermit, heir to the family of Earl Lermit, heir to the blessings of the Holy Flame! Tell me your name!]

[My name is Theodore. Nice to meet you, Keith.]

[Hmm? You don’t have a family name, so you are not a nobleman. Well, fine. Come on, come on. Show me a sword or two!]

I moved away from Keith and faced him. He had a fiery gaze and fiery hair. He was the very embodiment of fire.

This might make the match a little more interesting.

[Be careful, Lucifer-sama. That man seems to be a messenger of the gods.]

I know he has the blessing of the flame. But the holy flame… it’s like their family has been recognized by something quite remarkable.

But from what I’ve seen, it doesn’t look like he could handle something that big. I guess it hasn’t been accompanied by substance yet.

[Theodore. Don’t worry. I can handle magic, but this is only a test of swordsmanship. You will not be extinguished.]

[You can use it if you want.]

[Nah ……?]

Amidst another commotion, the examiner spoke naturally.

[Magic is forbidden.]

[Oh, really? I don’t mind if he does.]

[You ……!]

A young man, who had called himself Keith, stared at me, gritting his teeth.

I’m not sure if he’ll be able to do it. He seems to be confident that he can overwhelm me with his swordsmanship alone.

But if you take this level of provocation seriously, I think the outcome is obvious.

[Well then, let the match …… begin!]

A red-haired young man approaches me at a tremendous speed and slashes at me from the top. I catch it head-on.

I was so shocked that I thought my wooden sword was going to break. I wondered what would happen if it broke. Would I be disqualified? I’d hate to lose for that reason.

[You ……! How dare you take my sword with one hand……!]

He was right, I was catching his sword with my right hand only. In contrast, he must have used both hands to deliver a full-throated blow. It was quite powerful. This is strong if it grows up.

As I was catching his sword, he immediately continued to attack with the second and third blows. It was a good move, faithful to the kata, and gorgeous. But I wonder if that’s all there is to it now. Even with my eyes and ears closed, I can dodge him just by his presence.

Kuh! Then this way, I won’t be able to see it all!

Keith’s eyes grow sharp and he takes a stance with his sword. Is this some kind of technique that has been handed down directly from his family? Just as I thought so, a thrust was released.

A blow that an ordinary person would not even be able to see.

But to me, it looked like the speed of a turtle crawling. I knew what he was capable of. I think I’m done.

With respect for his blow, I dare to take that sword head-on. With the tip of the wooden sword.

I quickly popped his sword, taking advantage of Keith’s astonished expression at seeing such an impossible scene.

The tip of the wooden sword smashes into Keith’s unstable chest, and he falls to the ground on his backside.

[What the…]

I say a few words of exertion to the stunned Keith.

[Yeah, that was a good blow. You’re the strongest one here. Well, that was fun, Keith.]

No one says anything.

I stared at the examiner in amazement.

I looked at the examiner with a quivering voice, who looked at me accusingly as if he was losing his dynamic vision.

[The winner is …… Theodore!]

There were no cheers. Everyone was wide-eyed in disbelief.

As I recall, he was the eldest son of a famous count, right? No wonder they couldn’t believe he had lost.

I went to the side of the examiner who was still surprised. I pointed at Keith, who was still sitting there and said to the old man, who was shaking with fear.

[You should admit him. He will become stronger. It would be a pity if he loses here and has his admission canceled.]

[Well, don’t worry about that. …… The top 32 students in swordsmanship will be admitted.]

[Oh, I see. I’m glad to hear that. If we miss such a talented person, this school, or rather this country, will have no future.]

I patted the examiner on the shoulder and looked for the next person to clean up the rest.

In the end, nothing unusual happened after that, and the swordsmanship exam was over with me getting first place.
