I Was the Strongest Sword God in My Past Life

part 64

The united forces of six schools, each with their own strength.

Lucia, who was still staring at the fallen students with an expressionless face, did not speak even when Demon confirmed their defeat.

The screen showed Lucia’s hair, as dark as the night sky, and her cold, blue eyes.

Like a solitary iron nun.

However, despite the desolate atmosphere, the screen shone with beauty.

-Waaah!

-Lucia! Lucia!

-Selvia Academy! Fighting!

The applause of the audience was half-hearted, similar to the number of votes for Lucia and Jien’s victory.

“Wow, what a great video! It’s too short, but it still has an impact! If the editor had any tears left, they would have cried, but it’s over! Next is the video of Jien Russell!”

As Vernon pointed to the screen with his hand, the screen changed.

The first scene was a mountain peak.

…

Clouds drifting away and a distant ground. Jien wore a black robe and gazed lazily at the ground.

A peaceful Oriental painting.

Jien slowly closed his eyes, and the screen grew dark.

Then, two characters appeared.

[Qingxin (God of Swords)]

Jien’s nickname and everything about him.

The screen changed to a factory.

Jien had his hand on the sword and took a stance, and the eight enemies were rushing towards him.

[Month Sword.]

As Jien’s words and sword flashed, all the enemies turned into particles and disappeared.

The video was a battle survival that showcased Jien’s skills.

At the moment the intro video began.

Those who attended or missed it could see Jien’s skills with one glance.

[What’s your name?]

A knight holding a dark blade asked.

[Jien Rushe.]

Jien replied.

The swords clashed and sparks flew, filling the cave with red and blue lines.

The knight’s dark blade suddenly released a horrifying mana and charged towards Jien.

The screen froze for a moment, and the attack turned into a bullet.

Bang!

But Jien effortlessly blocked the bullet.

Then he continued to dash forward, his robe and hair fluttering behind him, as his speed increased.

The bullet approached again.

Time froze, and the camera zoomed in on the bullet.

Despite knowing the outcome, the audience held their breaths. The civilians and the Sabeurs, among whom Jien’s skills were overwhelming.

The God of Swords, like his nickname, had reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

As the bullet was sliced in half, time accelerated, and the screen grew dark.

[Aracana and Selya!]

The video changed, accompanied by a dramatic sound effect. The location was an old restaurant, and the radio played soft music.

Dusty table.

Jien, Isabelle, and Chris sat there.

The camera shot Jien’s profile.

Jien, who had been closing her eyes, slowly opened them as if possessed by the devil Belial, looking haughty and beautiful.

“Are you all sure?”

Jien’s soft-spoken voice.

A gentle smile played on Jien’s lips as a large subtitle appeared on the screen: [The Last Battle of the Two Heroes!]

Although the 3-minute video was short, the audience’s reaction was explosive.

***

Amy’s motto was one: “A broadcast without an ending is like a life without breath!”

Even if the broadcast was entertaining, if the ending was bad, the viewers wouldn’t become subscribers. Thanks to this, Amy, who had been busy earlier than anyone else, was now lost in thought for a while.

“Wow…!”

The editing of G-channel’s video was self-explanatory. It was a perfect 100 points. However, there was a point that Amy was impressed with.

“How did you create such an atmosphere?”

As a broadcaster, Amy had experienced many handsome men. There were plenty of people who could be described with just one word: handsome.

However, Jien’s character was impossible to replace.

“Umm…”

A straightforward and strong swordsman. Although only 17 years old, she had deep thoughts and spoke with conviction.

“But it’s possible that it’s just a passing feeling.”

The smile on Jien’s face in the video had a sense of danger and thrill.

What kind of life would a student have to lead to be able to have such an atmosphere?

“It’s like… combining a model student and a bad boy!”

Amy used her imagination.

Jien, the hunter from Block 1.

Jien, the wandering swordsman from Block 3.

Jien had become a bodyguard in Sector 4.

“This is a big hit… I’m going to eat it up, no matter what.”

Amy nodded her head.

You don’t need a good-looking face or a good atmosphere to clear the gate.

However, “Gate Broadcast” was a different story. The charm of the Sabeurs was soon to be the number of viewers.

“Everyone, uh, a bit selfish, but… “

Amy played the intro video sent by G Channel at the end of the last part.

Jien was smiling wickedly at his teammates.

“Just like the party leader is handsome, so it’s not bad, right?”

Amy’s finger pointed to the subscription button again. It was a very obvious intention, but the reaction of the viewers was going to pass no matter what she did.

-Is this a student’s decadence?

-Jien, take care!ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Who should get the marriage approval?

-As an orphan, should it be given to a nun?

-↑ㅋㅋㅋㅋ You’re really!

As Amy said, the charm on the broadcast was unconditional. The subscription number, which was 20,000 just this morning, had now broken through 60,000.

“Wow, the subscription number has tripled in just one day? So, in a month… “

-It’s the law of miracles;;

-Is this a concept or real?;

-Even if all humanity subscribes, it’s not a problem…;

“What about Lucia and the vote tied?”

Amy was puzzled.

“Even if I mock the popularity vote, Jien showed his skills solo…”

Image.

What’s shown on the broadcast is more important than who’s strong.

If you think about that, it’s an impossible event. But Amy didn’t know about the unknown variable.

-哈哈, I didn’t know

-Celia’s party sponsorship and artifact Lucia got all the funds.

-Yeah, and I haven’t even used my magical tool yet!

“Ah, no, it’s all invested?”

Amy’s eyes widened.

In fact, the biggest controversy of this conference was related to the artifacts.

First of all, participants were allowed to bring up to three artifacts when they entered.

Unlike Gi-en, who was a descendant of a prestigious family, Lucia started by selecting and gathering the best artifacts.

“Maybe Lucia had three from the beginning……”

But that’s not all.

The Selya Academy had occupied the city center, and even the minimum number of artifacts obtained there would be… at least three.

“Everyone? Are you sure……”

Gi-en had used all the artifacts that helped in battle, including the Knight’s Oath and Cloak. Thanks to this, she was able to sweep across the entire area and put on a spectacular performance.

However, Lucia had maintained a safe and steady play until the very end.

What artifacts were left in her pocket now?

“Four, more than four?”

Amy swallowed hard.

*Add more*

*One more*

*Five, maybe?*

Amy thought calmly, considering the live chat.

At the start, she had three.

She had obtained two more.

Was she going to give them all to the party?

Amy let out a sigh, her eyebrows furrowed in incomprehension.

“How many times have you played a trick?”

The sun was setting over the school.

From noble mtl dot come

Lucia was looking out the window instead of the game stage.

Gggg!

The unmanned island was collapsing.

The outer islands were breaking off, crashing, and being swallowed by the sea. Lucia gazed out at the scene, lost in thought.

“‘It’s lost its meaning.'”

After the game ended, the island had lost its reason for existence. So did people. If there was no goal, or if the goal was lost, what drove that person?

Lucia looked at her palm.

The sunset’s light fell upon her nose.

“…It’s tough.”

The family’s sun.

Lucia’s family head was stronger, more beautiful, and wiser than anyone else.

The duty of a Sabeur?

The honor of the family’s name?

Those things didn’t matter. The word that always moved Lucia was admiration.

The family head was Lucia’s sun, someone she could only look at and approach but not touch. Recognizing her family head as her teacher was Lucia’s driving force and lifelong goal.

“…?”

Ding.

Lucia suddenly snapped out of her daze as a hologram unfolded before her.

[Round 3 is about to begin.]

[The map will be randomly selected and determined at the same time as the entrance.]

Lucia’s only concern now was winning the championship. Her undefeated record was at stake, but winning against her rival, Zhen, meant something different.

The opponent was strong enough to reach the end of the tournament.

“Zhen… Russell.”

Lucia felt something boiling up from the depths of her heart, a strong sense of determination that could wipe away any fleeting thought.

A heated game arena.
