‘Oh, this is totally…..’
On a piece of paper that was small enough to fit in my palm, the names of the opponents to fight in the first and second rounds were written in clear letters.
‘First round Edwin Boyleis.’It was a name that I didn’t know well.
Come to think of it, it seemed to me that he was one of the clans who believed in the power of the Ace family and clung to Eugene, but it didn’t exactly come to mind.
The problem is the opponent in the second round.
‘Second Round Cassius Tigris.’
The first and second rounds were played in a league match format. From the third round, the top-ranked students played a tournament, so in order to know the opponents in the third and fourth rounds, they had to finish the first and second rounds.
Perhaps I will meet Eugene in the tournament format since he won second place on the pre-admission test.
What this meant was that to finally beat Eugene, I had to beat Cassius first.‘To beat Eugene, I have to beat Cassius first……’
Can I even have a way to beat Cassius?
If I fail to beat Cassius in the second match, I may not be able to play in the third match.
“Oh, my…”
When I was in a depressed mood, I heard a thud of footsteps.
“Hey, Spade.”
When I looked in front of my eyes, a familiar silver hair stood in front of my seat.
“This time I must win.”
I’ve heard it so much that I don’t get very angry anymore.
On the contrary, I seemed to have gotten so used to it that I felt that he was cute.
“Oh, yes. Do as you please.”
I answered him roughly and flipped over.
Then Eugene said, putting his arms down on my desk and pushing his face close to me as if he didn’t like my attitude.
“Don’t overlook it, Spade. Since I’m really serious.”
He was staring straight at me at such a close distance that thought our noses might bump against each other for a really short time.
I was quite surprised by the silver hair that suddenly came into view, but I didn’t reveal it.
‘By the way, I think he’s a little handsome…’
“Are you listening?”
I quit thinking about that and pulled my chair back, opened up a little distance with Eugene, and listened to him.
“When you are in a fight, be sure to use the fire magic. What I mean is to fight as hard as you can.”
At his words, I glared back at Eugene’s bright blue eyes.
Among the spades’ magic dealing with elements four, fire magic is the element that spades are most confident in.
Now that remark was tantamount to a declaration of war that I would not be able to fight with him unless I fought with all my might.
At last, I sighed and answered in a stealthy sarcastic voice.
“I’ll think about it. But you’d better not expect it. I can do my best without using fire magic.”
The gap between Eugene’s eyebrows was narrowed.
“No, unless it’s fire magic–”
At that moment, a wide and large hand touched Eugene’s shoulder.
“What are you doing here, Ace?”
A voice of clear warning as if a beast were roaring.
It was Cassius.
“You look so close, wouldn’t that make Yerine feel uncomfortable?”
While Cassius’ mouth was smiling, his bright yellowish eyes were not at all.
It occurred to me that his eyes looked like a beast, which was meant not to intrude on its territory.
“Where the hell did he watch me….…!’
I screamed inwardly.
The Ace, looking at Cassius’ hand on his shoulder with a crumpled middle of the forehead, kicked his tongue and backed away.
“The prince wouldn’t have to worry about it because what The Prince worried about will never happen.”
“Didn’t I say it on the first day? I want you to talk to me informally.”
said Cassius with a dangerous smile.
Eugene looked coldly at his face and muttered in a dry voice.
“I have no interest in that side of her. This is a completely different matter.”
‘Oh….’
I was shocked by Eugene, who dropped honorifics right in front of us and spoke informally without hesitation.
Crazy, is he going to end up like the original Yerine in Cassius’s hand?
No matter how bad he is and how much I don’t like him, I didn’t want to be the cause of his death.
In the end, I pretended to be alright, smiled coolly, and soothed Cassius.
“Cassius, let him go for now. Cause I’m fine.”
First of all, I need to soothe Cassius before the situation gets worse.
In The Academy, Cassius has been following me very well lately for making up his promise with me.
As expected, he immediately let Eugene’s shoulders go. As soon as he did so, Eugene made a quick turn, fluttering his silver hair, and stepped toward the door of the classroom.
“Don’t lose to other guys.”
Eugene, who stared at me before opening the door and said such a word, disappeared into the hallway with his followers waiting outside.
“Huhhhhhh.”
Thinking of that disgraceful silver hair that disappeared into the crowd, I fell to my desk, expressing great gratitude for not leading to the bloodshed.

“Oh.”
At the height of the first day of the battle, a tour of the rally site was filled with admirations.
I had a battle in the afternoon, but I had come to the stadium with Rachel and Cassius to cheer and watch because there was a battle for Astra and Rayl in the morning.
The corner of The Battle Field, which looked like a school playground, was also filled with strange tools for magic training, and the ground was painted with several patterns resembling a magic circle.
Of course, there was also a rough court line for the game.
Anyway, it felt more professional than I thought.
In the distance, Rayl was playing against his opponent.
While initially glaring at his opponent, Rayl took an amulet out of his arms, threw it to his opponent, and quickly enchanted the surprised opponent to capture the victory.
‘Diamond’s speciality was witchcraft (magical tool)……’
On the other side of the stadium, Astra was firing at her opponent with a red spark on her hand.
“Everyone is really great…..”
“Well, I don’t think that’s the words for Yerine to say.”
Rachel, who was arm in arm with me, muttered.
“Wha, No, I don’t in that level ye–”
“Oh, hey, isn’t that the girl from yesterday?”
My radar worked faster than ever on the word “the girl.”’
With my favourite radar, made up of five senses and six senses better than a hungry beast, I could easily find pink hair.
“It’s Erica……..”
I said, clasping hands in happiness.
Cassius, the only one who doesn’t know who Erica is, asked Rachel with a question mark on his face.
“Who’s Erica?”
“That pink-haired girl over there. I don’t know why, but when she saw her, she drooled.
At that remark, Cassius squeezed his mouth and criticized me.
“What so good about that girl, Yerine? I’m–”
“You’re noisy. Her eyes are pretty and you’re not.”
“What…….?”
I didn’t say anything wrong.
To be honest, Casius is handsome, but his fine line is not like those pretty boy faces. So he doesn’t have the right face to say that he’s pretty.
Anyway, Cassius stared blankly, as if shocked, at the words that came out without filtering, being distracted by my favourite.
“If pretty is your taste…….Then I can’t win…….”
But it didn’t matter to me now.
Nothing was more important than capturing the image of my favourite heroine with both my eyes.
“Oh, how can she be so pretty and cute to stand on two feet like that?”
Facing his opponent, Erica stood with a grim nervous look, biting her lips.
“Hehe…”
“Yerine, your saliva.”
Rachel tapped me in and told me.
“I wish she could win, right?”
I looked back at her and said,
“Yes, I wish she could win–”
But at that moment, I suddenly realized that I was overlooking something.
“Wait a minute…”
As soon as I said that, a whistle sounded to mark the start of the game, and a big opponent quickly rushed at Erica.
“Oh, no……’
Erica couldn’t have won that game, of course.
According to the original story, Erica, who had never realized her strength, entered the Academy with little use of magic.
I wish she could at least defend herself, but now she, who barely knows how to use magic, was defenceless.
“Eri–”
But even before I could call her by her name to the end, the other party sent a green flash at Erica, and the flash went toward Erica at a terrifying speed.
