Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 105: Potential

(liris viewpoint)

I saw the second match between Abel and Stern which was amazing. Even though Stern finished second in the class, I didn't think that he would have that kind of power. moreover, that silver light, I don't even know what it is, but hearing the cry of Her Highness Princess Philia, it seems like the princess knows what it is.

I had thought before that this match was over, but who would have guessed that a more shocking event had happened. Suddenly I heard the terrifying crackling of lightning. as I looked where it came from, where it came from, I saw His Majesty surrounded by a ball of bluish-white light with a fierce arc of blue lightning. Consciously, the children moved away from the reach of the electric clatter for fear of being hit.

after the light that surrounded His Majesty disappeared, the once foreign and beautiful clothes had turned into admirable armor.A glance could already tell that the armor was no ordinary armor. full of carvings and blue lightning patterns in some parts that make the armor look very majestic. the princess who originally looked gentle and graceful now looked heroic and proud with a charming smile on her face.

"so pretty!"

I heard those words from beside me. As I looked to the side, it turned out to be the voice of Sian looking at His Majesty with wide eyes without blinking.

Sian:"I don't even know how his clothes suddenly turned into armor"

Lyrical:"The depth of His Majesty cannot be seen by ordinary people like us"

it was indeed very confusing.nobody even knew when the clothes His Highness the princess was wearing could change suddenly.

Sian:"before the dress turned into armor, wasn't there a flash of lightning!?. Then, could it be that the princess could make armor from lightning?"

I don't know where the boy's mind came from, but this is very likely to happen.I've seen commanders make armor from the ground to coat his body. maybe what the princess did was something like that, or maybe His Majesty used special armor to bring out such an effect.

"it is impossible!. magic like lightning, fire and other magic that is not solid can not be turned into armor.if my guess is right, Princess Filia is currently using magical armor"

I don't know who's talking. When I saw the origin of the sound it turned out to be from a girl in a witch's robe and glazed with eyes.Hair in braids with dark brown color. looking from his clothes, it seemed like he was the child of the magic division, so his explanation could be believed.

I have also heard about the magical armor he mentioned.Magical armor is an armor made using certain metals with certain techniques and will have a certain effect on its users. usually magical armor is a relic from ancient times and became a treasure of a country. I did not expect that princess would have such a thing.

Liris: "but the armor looks very new. is the armor being renovated?"

usually the armor obtained from ancient ruins will have some damage marks or have some scratches, but the one worn by the princess looks smooth and without the slightest scuff. even the color still looks very new without the slightest fading.

"it's impossible.without suitable techniques and materials it's impossible to refine armor from ancient times.at least I've never heard of it"

Liris:"Then??"

"whatever. Princess Filia is too mysterious, we can't guess with common sense"

I also agree with that, even though Her Majesty is a princess, but I have never even seen Her Majesty attend a banquet. I came to this country because I was assigned to guard and supervise His Majesty while in the academy.I was very curious at first about this so-called princess, even I just found out that the royal family has a daughter. The first time I met her, I felt like I saw a girl who was graceful and calm, but dignified.just like Her Majesty the Queen. but the longer it took, I began to feel that this princess was becoming more mysterious and unexpected.

I listened to His Majesty's conversation with the instructor about the potion the princess put out. Hearing the instructor's evaluation of the potion left everyone shocked and speechless. just as I thought that such a shock was over, His Majesty once again dropped a bomb that almost destroyed the entire understanding of the people present.

The potion that had never existed with such a powerful effect, was actually made by His Majesty's own two hands. the shock this information brings is far greater than the moment of His Majesty's costume change. keep in mind that the making of potions today is based on records left by ancient civilizations that have disappeared today, although the record is not complete, but by fumbling, by fumbling, intelligent life managed to find the process of making potions, and still continues to be perfected until now.I know that the potions brought by instructors use the latest and most advanced technology to make them, I know, but in His Majesty's view the potion was made in a rude and flawed manner.

"how good was that first level!?, even being able to make potions that had never existed"

"is it true that the potion was made by myself!?. I was a bit incredulous"

"believe it or not, but after hearing the opinion of the instructor, it seems like it was made by itself"

"so genius!?"

"..."

the other children had their discussion of the potion basic, even if the one who found such a potion was a family herb, but it was impossible to let His Majesty make such a false claim. besides it can upset the geezer, such a thing would get punished for recognizing the property rights of others.

the most important thing was, if it was discovered by other herbs, they would definitely instantly file patents to the palace and the herb pavilion as soon as they managed to create it and stir up an uproar the entire world. but I have never heard the great news about a master who successfully perfected the potion, so it can be concluded that 99% of the possible words spoken by His Majesty is the truth. how scary is that.

a girl less than nine years old had such a feat. This would make the parents who had researched and tried to perfect the potion making go crazy and doubt life if they heard about it.

such a valuable potion was given for free!?.

stopping my thoughts on potions, I saw His Majesty take a fighting position casually.is his fighting ability also outstanding!?.

Alison: "Start!!"

hearing the cue from the instructor, Stern directly launched an attack on His Majesty. Stern tried to stab His Majesty, but His Majesty managed to fend him off easily without the slightest difficulty.

as his puncture failed, Stern used his left foot as a pedestal and then he spun around to launch a horizontal attack on His Majesty's right side.The right hand that had originally repelled Stern's initial attack moved leisurely. for some reason, when the slender sword in His Majesty's hand became held in a back hand position.The body of the sword was stuck to the noble elbow and managed to fend off the sword from Stern.

feeling his efforts in vain, Stern retreated and took some distance. Now I know how His Majesty changed his sword holding position. His Majesty rotated the sword using his slender and flexible fingers.With such an ability, His Majesty can change the position of his sword at any time. this is the first time I have seen anyone do such a thing during a match. If there is an error in movement or improper timing, the sword can fall or get caught by the opponent's attack, but it seems like His Majesty has no worries about it.

Filia: "let's not disappoint me again"

such arrogant and provocative words would definitely be very disturbing. If someone else were to say them, that person would be considered arrogant, but if it was Your Majesty, then arrogant would not be appropriate. call it proud. His Majesty has the capital for that pride, both in terms of background and personal abilities, absolutely nothing short of it.

Stern clenched his teeth and advanced to meet His Majesty again with his purple sword blade.His attack this time was much faster, but no matter how fast the attack was, it was, before His Majesty all the attacks looked like toys.His majesty simply deflected them using her cold blue sword without taking a step back.

Trang...!!

a sharp voice rang out and as His Majesty repelled Stern's attack.perhaps because His Majesty used a greater force, Stern retreated a few steps due to the shock from the impact. without waiting for Stern to stabilize his body, His Majesty instantly launched a sharp stab towards Stern.

Srakkk...!!

Ahhh...!!

the sound of torn cloth along with the sound of screams rang out from the arena.It could be seen, His Majesty still maintained his stabbing position, but this time from the tip of the sword His Majesty began to drop red blood onto the floor. the red blood came from Stern's upper arm that was wounded by the sword stab.

I could clearly see that his majesty was aiming for Stern's chest, but due to his quick reflexes or being pressed, Stern managed to dodge by tilting his body to the right. despite successfully dodging the fatal attack, but his left arm was scratched by His Majesty's sword blade.

His Majesty pulled back his sword.The blood that originally slid following the blade of the sword and dripped onto the ground started to freeze into ice and fell down. with a light stomp, the, the frozen blood fell to the ground like red ice chips, making the blade of the sword return as clean as it was.

His Majesty looked at the wounded Stern expressionlessly.His smiling face disappeared and became a cold face.

Filia:"I can see that you are hesitant when fighting.it is forbidden in a fight. If this is a real fight, you will die quickly"

The instructor approached Stern to inquire about his condition, but Stern only shook his head gently hinting that he was okay.

Stern:"t, but this is just practice"

Filia:"despite a training, but you are holding a weapon, then you must have the mentality to kill your opponent.You must instill killing intent in any battle and not hesitate to attack your opponent. once you enter the battle arena, you must have the courage to kill and be killed, it will bring out your true potential"

Stern broke away from the instructor who was examining his wounds while tightening his teeth, Stern again took a fighting position with a shiny purple sword with the reflection of sunlight.

Stern:"k, then, s, I beg the guidance of the princess"

suddenly His Majesty's sword blade let out a white mist lining the blade. His Majesty thrust the thin blade of his sword into the hard battle platform, but the hard platform looked like it knew when it met His Majesty's sword. who would have guessed that such a thin and slender blade could have such a frightening strength.

Swoss...!!

together with the blade stuck, a white mist spread out and made a thin layer of ice on top of the platform.The layer of ice continued to spread, but when it reached the edge of the platform, the, the ice sheet began to crawl up like it was climbing an invisible wall until it finally formed a white dome that covered the match platform. Due to this cover, people on the outside had trouble seeing the inside.

Krak...!!

the cracking sound came back to my surprise.I saw that the ice dome had a smooth crack and was spreading more and more to cover the entire surface of the ice dome.

prang...!!

the ice dome broke and shattered like glass.cold ice shards fell and scattered on the ground.I understand that the ice was trying to spread, it was, but the existence of a protective wall that protected the audience from the impact of the fighter's attack blocked the spread of that ice sheet, so that the ice sheet could only freeze the barrier. the barrier that could not withstand such an impact finally shattered and disappeared along with the destruction of the dome.

as soon as the shield was destroyed, the cold air spread out and made a layer of frozen ice on the sandy soil.The other children who were watching the show under the stage immediately moved away. finally the ice sheet stopped after about five meters with the battle platform at its center.

if the magic barrier were to disappear then, the competing students would not be able to get protection from the fatal attacks and the spectators around the arena could be affected from the battle at any time. I don't know what His Majesty is planning, but seeing his smiling face, His Majesty deliberately did this, but what is his purpose?.

Filia:"let's continue"

Alison:"wait...!"

the instructor immediately stopped this battle.Since the protector had disappeared then the students who were competing could be hit with fatal injuries at any time.

Alison: "the match without a protector is very dangerous..."

Filia:"no what instructor, I'll hold back"

Alison:"but..."

Stern:"I don't mind"

I did not expect that the quiet-looking Stern would say that straightforwardly. Then I saw Stern's determined eyes and confidence. looking at that expression, I saw, I know that he is also looking forward to this match.

Alison:"huh.well, I understand, but I'll stop this game immediately if it feels too dangerous"

Phile:"I understand"

Stern:"yeah"

as soon as the instructor retreated, the match immediately began to return.This time not only did His Majesty resist the attack, but His Majesty began to attack without mercy.

after approximately five minutes had passed, Stern had been repeatedly thrown and rose again. The scars and blood started to flow and wet his clothes, but it was evident from his injuries that it was not a fatal wound.In this match Stern's movements became more and more subtle and the attacking initiative became sharper.

Trang...!!

once again Stern was thrown with a wound on his right arm. While trying to stand up, Stern again fell down because his strength had run out.

Sally:"don't disappoint me"

His Majesty instantly launched an attack.his ice blue blade emitted a cold aura that made the originally cold air temperature become much colder. the blue light headed towards Stern very quickly along with an extremely viscous killing intent.

No...!!

No...!!

the two overlapping shouts echoed simultaneously.the voice came from the instructor and the desperate Stern. Although the instructor tried to stop the attack, but the attack was unexpected and very fast.

Bang...!!

the attack immediately greeted the helpless Stern on the platform floor.The explosion along with the cold white smoke immediately occurred.The original place where Stern was located was already filled with cold white smoke. a thick layer of ice was also faintly visible on the floor.if anyone was hit by the attack, it can be ascertained that the person will be cut off and become a frozen ice statue.

is Your Majesty so cruel!?. was Stern killed!?. various terrible questions popped up inside my head.not just me, but me, even the other children and instructors couldn't help but stare at Stern's misty place with stupid eyes.

Filia: "don't just be quiet. let's continue!!"

that gentle voice of His Majesty made us come to our senses again.and look at His Majesty in disbelief.what happened!?.

immediately, the question was answered. The cold white mist began to grow thinner and revealed a strange silhouette inside.after the fog had become much thinner, it became much thinner, everyone could see a purple illusory greatsword over four meters wide that was stuck on the platform, from the platform to the handle of the sword only about a meter long.it can be estimated that the sword is incomplete.on the back of the sword there is a shadow of someone who is staring stupidly.

the surface of the illusory sword froze, without any deep knowledge, the one who saw this scene must have known that the illusory sword was the one protecting Stern.

Filia:"finally your potential is out. Sword intent's..!"

the purple illusory sword finally disappeared and Stern was clearly visible. His face was still confused, but his pupils had a shining silver glow. the sword with the purple blade that was in his hand was now glowing a beautiful purple.

Stern:"this..."

Filia: "your potential will not come out if you are just a beautiful vase of flowers. Because you cannot use Sword Intent properly, then I must force your sword intent out. the easiest way to get that sword intent out is with life and death experience, so I had to do it a little hard. Please forgive me"

no one would have expected that His Majesty would have such a goal.all seemed to be agape in shock. His Majesty walked slowly closer to Stern while smiling gently like, completely eliminating the traces of cruelty while fighting.Even the killing intent that came out of his body had turned into a warm and approachable aura. it's like two different people altogether.

Philia:"will you be my knight?"

Stern:"k, knights?"

Philia:"that is true, I want you to serve me, only me, not the family of Rosefield, but me, Filia Rosefield"

Stern:"t, but do I deserve it?"

hearing Stern's question, His Majesty nodded with his sincere smile.Tears instantly fell from Stern's face and immediately knelt on the platform.

Stern:"s, I'm ready"

naturally if the reaction of Stern would be like that. becoming a personal knight is not something trivial. let alone Stern who comes from a poor family who has nothing, he said, it can be said that Stern went from being a Sparrow to a Phoenix overnight, making people jealous.

Stern:"I promise_"

Filia:"don't say the knight's oath first.For now, we can be friends"
