Chapter: 71

For the first battle, the 1st and 3rp group got onto the training ground and looked at each other. Unlike the 3rd group who was tense, the 1st group seemed like they were certain of their victory.

‘Chun Muyeon.’

Yeowun knew the name also. He was first in line for the throne, and he was known for being the closest heir. Without considering the fact that he was from the Wise Clan, or the most powerful clan among the six clans, he was known for his power, wisdom, and character. As both groups got ready, Hameng shouted, “The group that overpowers other wins. Begin!”

“Mado!”

And then the test began. Both groups charged toward each other.

‘Huh?’

It was the first formation battle, but both groups didn’t change their formation and charged with their shields up. At this rate, they were just going to clash against each other to push the other out. It was understandable for the 3rd group since their leader had changed, but it was too simple for a man like Chun Muyeon to have come up with such a plan.

“Whoaaaa!”

Right before they collided with each other, Chun Muyun hollered, “From the right, THIRD FORMATION!”

The right flank of the formation sped up and the form changed. Hameng was astonished.

“Oh? Diagonal strike here?”

The 1st group charged diagonally and the 3rd group couldn’t even react to them as it was too fast. When they collided, the left side of the third group was pushed back and soon enough, the last row at the far right began falling too.

“Ugh! Don’t push!”

“Waaaaah!”

Soon, they all got pushed back.

“Get up! You have to get up!”

The new 3rd group leader shouted, but they couldn’t get up. At that time, first group leader Chun Muyeon thrust his sword into the third group leader’s shoulder.

“ARGH!”

Muyeon spoke to him with a cold voice.

“You lost. Surrender.”

“Nnngh...!”

It was too late. There was no going back as the entire formation had crumbled.

“...I surrender.”

And that was it. The understanding and the quick decision by Chun Muyeon had brought victory to the first group. Hameng stood up and shouted, “Congratulations on the victory! I announce the 1st group’s passing of the second test!”

Students mumbled and looked at the first group with envy. Yeowun, however, was thinking about something deeply. Soon, the second pair came up.

“Begin!”

It was the battle between the 2nd and 4th group. Both groups watched what happened prior, so they didn’t charge in recklessly. After a few formation changes, the winner was decided as expected.

“Congratulations to the fourth group for their victory!”

“The 2nd group did their best even though their leader changed, but they still lost.”

‘As expected. They are the same.’
