The Organization Collapsed on My First Day of Infiltration Episode 243

 

Time to Inherit the Sword

 

“Student Yurio Harmatan’s victory.”

 

“What?”

 

“It won’t take long.”

 

As soon as Ziel’s words fell, Yurio slipped into the relentless exchange between Delev and Celia.

 

Delev and Celia knew that Yurio would attack them now.

 

However, they never imagined he would attack both of them simultaneously.

 

“Student Yurio Harmatan has devised a good strategy.”

 

“A good strategy?”

 

“If you choose one person to attack, the other person’s role naturally becomes clear. A combined attack. But if you attack both simultaneously, their roles become unclear.”

 

“Ah!”

 

“He also made good use of their relationship.”

 

Yurio knew well that Delev and Celia would never coordinate a combined attack.

 

These two, who absolutely refuse to acknowledge each other’s skills even outwardly, would coordinate to face Yurio?

 

“That’s right. Delev and Celia… did they even imagine that Yurio would face both of them at once?”

 

There was no way they would.

 

They couldn’t have.

 

Even if they could predict getting this far, they probably never imagined he would face both of them simultaneously.

 

No, perhaps…

 

“They might not have wanted to imagine it.”

 

And just as Ziel said, Delev and Celia were confused and didn’t know what to do.

 

‘He’s attacking both of us at the same time?’

 

‘This is an opportunity.’

 

If the two had coordinated their attack, Yurio wouldn’t have lasted long.

 

But instead, they both thought it was an opportunity.

 

A chance to reap the benefits while one side was absorbed in fighting!

 

“They thought too much.”

 

As Ziel said, they overthought when they had the fastest and best option available.

 

As a result-

 

“Ugh!”

 

A situation emerged where Delev was being attacked by both Yurio and Celia.

 

It wasn’t a coordinated attack.

 

It was Yurio attacking once and retreating, then Celia attacking.

 

Rather than coordination, they were each absorbed only in their own attacks.

 

“Why make such a choice…!”

 

Both Amos and Daren sighed.

 

Meanwhile, Yurio changed direction and attacked Celia this time.

 

It was an excellent strategy.

 

“Hey, hey! Suddenly attacking me!”

 

Clang! Ching!

 

Celia was flustered by the downward strike that was much more powerful than expected.

 

No, more than that, since Yurio’s attack came suddenly while she was only targeting Delev, she couldn’t get her stance ready in time.

 

“Huh, that student Yurio is completely taking control.”

 

“Who bet on that guy? Sam, was it you?”

 

“Not me, but some guy earlier put down about 100,000 cel.”

 

“This youth division is the best ever!”

 

The spectator seats were truly a cauldron of excitement!

 

‘Damn, I’m completely caught up in this!’

 

‘If this continues…!’

 

Delev and Celia finally realized it too late.

 

This current situation was being completely controlled by Yurio.

 

Sometimes targeting Delev.

 

Clang!

 

Sometimes targeting Celia.

 

Ching!

 

While alternately attacking the two, he employed extreme strategy, pretending to launch a combined attack then retreating.

 

Delev and Celia had temperaments far removed from such strategy.

 

They had always grown up in well-prepared environments, focusing on only one goal.

 

But Yurio was different.

 

In an environment where everything was lacking, he always had to make optimal choices.

 

Sometimes he had to achieve multiple goals at once, and sometimes he had to succeed in insufficient situations.

 

Now was one of those times.

 

‘I will definitely succeed.’

 

Of course, there was a prerequisite.

 

Sufficient skill to compete.

 

Yurio possessed that.

 

Clang! Ching!

 

“The match is about to be decided.”

 

In Ziel’s view, Delev and Celia were already exhausted.

 

They had already expended much of their mana in their confrontation with each other.

 

Meanwhile, Yurio had thoroughly managed his mana.

 

“The difference from 【Magic Power Development】 class is showing here.”

 

“Student Yurio Harmatan did the best in that class.”

 

Using mana efficiently was difficult enough that even Delev struggled with it.

 

Yurio had faced Ann and Maris in turn while still preserving more mana than both of them combined—

 

Clang!

 

And now he began to unleash that mana.

 

‘Damn.’

 

Celia realized the moment her sword clashed with Yurio’s.

 

This wasn’t something she could block without using mana.

 

But hastily drawing up mana would come at a cost.

 

Especially for a Walker Rank practitioner who wasn’t yet very skilled at mana usage.

 

“Ugh!”

 

Celia’s defensive stance crumbled, and Delev jumped into that opening.

 

To take out Celia rather than Yurio.

 

‘The weaker one first.’

 

There was still a chance to win.

 

If he could eliminate Celia and make it a one-on-one situation!

 

That’s what Delev thought.

 

Until the sword that had been aimed at Celia turned toward him instead.

 

“Yurio, you!”

 

Delev raised his sword in panic, but it was a bit too late.

 

If he had been just a little less tired, just a little less flustered, he could have blocked it easily.

 

After all, Yurio was tired too.

 

If Delev and Celia had chosen to attack together from the start, Yurio would have had no chance of winning.

 

But they had made a different choice, and Yurio’s sword sliced through Delev’s shoulder.

 

Slash!

 

The armor split and blood spurted.

 

As Delev’s body swayed in pain, Yurio charged forward and shoved him away.

 

“Ohh!”

 

“My goodness!”

 

Cheers and gasps erupted simultaneously from the spectator seats.

 

Delev’s feet, as he was forced back, came dangerously close to stepping out of bounds.

 

But just when it seemed he might survive.

 

“Let’s end this, Delev!”

 

Celia leaped in.

 

There was no room for pride.

 

This was the perfect opportunity to eliminate Delev!

 

However, Delev had no intention of ending things like this either.

 

‘Focus the mana.’

 

What little mana remained.

 

He instinctively channeled it to his legs.

 

And after steadying his swaying body—

 

“Huh?”

 

He grabbed the charging Celia and spun her around.

 

The result was…

 

“My goodness, a simultaneous out-of-bounds!”

 

They both went out of bounds at the same time.

 

In other words, he had taken Celia, who had planned to stop right before the boundary line, along with him.

 

“…You crazy bastard!”

 

Celia, confirming she had fallen out of bounds, shouted angrily, but her voice was drowned out by the crowd’s cheers!

 

“Youth division champion, Yurio Harmatan!”

 

The victory announcement, amplified by mana, filled the arena.

 

Cheers erupted.

 

Yurio’s victory was one thing, but who could have predicted that two people would go tumbling out of bounds together like that?

 

“Our son used his head well.”

 

Amos nodded with satisfaction.

 

While it was disappointing that he didn’t win, that final strategy was excellent.

 

Meanwhile, Daren held his forehead and let out a sigh.

 

“Why at the very end…”

 

The reason was simple.

 

“They made an irrational choice.”

 

“Boss, it’s probably because the kids are still young, right?”

 

“Rather than making a cool-headed judgment about the match, pride came first.”

 

It’s because they’re still young.

 

Even Ziel hadn’t expected the two of them to be eliminated together like that.

 

Delev and Celia.

 

He knew about the competitive spirit and rivalry that the scions of the two great houses had toward each other, but who would have thought it would lead to mutual elimination.

 

‘From Student Delev Kundel’s perspective, it was a rational choice.’

 

On the other hand, it was a regrettable choice for Celia.

 

She could have targeted Yurio from behind after he dealt with Delev.

 

Of course, there was no guarantee she would have won against Yurio.

 

In any case, this determined the youth division champion.

 

“I won…”

 

The last person remaining in the arena!

 

Yurio savored the pouring cheers with a dazed expression.

 

A feeling he’d never experienced before!

 

Even during the preliminaries, he hadn’t thought at all that he would win.

 

‘Father would be incredibly happy if he knew, wouldn’t he?’

 

He thought he should hurry and write a letter as soon as the award ceremony ended.

 

“Yurio! My son!”

 

A familiar voice coming from the spectator seats.

 

Yurio turned his head and was stunned when he spotted his father Rangl.

 

“Father…?”

 

Father had come.

 

Taking that risk and leaving his post to come all the way here!

 

“Father…!”

 

Yurio ran straight to the spectator seats. Rangl also stopped hiding and pushed through the crowd, finally coming face to face with his son.

 

“Well done, my son!”

 

Rangl’s hands pulling his son into a tight embrace!

 

“Father, how did you come here?”

 

“Of course I came to see my son! Champion, champion! Well done, you did great. The family hasn’t done anything for you, yet how did you manage this…”

 

Rangl didn’t hide his flowing tears and embraced his son once more.

 

Only then did tears well up in Yurio’s eyes too.

 

The audience burst into applause at that touching scene.

 

“A father and son reunion?”

 

“Isn’t Harmatan in the Northern Region? How did the head of a northern house come all the way here…”

 

It was a moment where emotion and sympathy coexisted.

 

The Northern Region is an extreme environment that even the central government cannot properly control.

 

Battles between houses occur constantly, and they push in at the slightest sign of weakness.

 

A region where it’s not particularly strange for a prosperous house to disappear overnight!

 

Therefore, the fact that the Head of Harmatan was here meant that the northern Harmatan house’s position was currently vacant.

 

“Father, you should return even now. It’s too dangerous.”

 

“I know. I’ll return right away. Still, seeing my son’s growth with my own eyes like this leaves me with no regrets. I think it’s time to get back the sword I entrusted to Teacher.”

 

Rangl nodded with a tear-filled expression.

 

And Ziel was listening to all of that conversation even from quite a distance.

 

‘Is the family being attacked?’

 

He had read about the Northern Region in some book in the library.

 

The Northern Region – the moment a family head leaves their post is the best time to be attacked.

 

But there didn’t seem to be anything to worry about.

 

In another direction.

 

The spectator seats where 2nd Prince Dietrich was sitting.

 

When he focused his ears with the Polar Night Breathing Technique, he could hear this conversation.

 

“The fact that the Head of Harmatan left his post and came all the way here will be a great opportunity for us, Sir Relio.”

 

“Indeed. It’s a perfect opportunity to create a debt.”

 

“Send an envoy immediately. When other houses hear that an envoy is going in the name of the Imperial Palace, they won’t dare attack recklessly.”

 

Ziel nodded.

 

“No need to worry.”

 

“Boss, what do you mean?”

 

“I mean Student Yurio Harmatan’s worries have disappeared.”

 

“…What?”

 

Gilbert, who didn’t know the situation, tilted his head in confusion, but there was no way for him to know.

 

In any case, it was very joyful news.

 

Yurio’s victory!

 

It was surprising that neither Delev nor Celia won, but it wasn’t an incomprehensible event either.

 

Yurio possessed sufficient skill.

 

Enough that no one could guarantee victory if he faced either Delev or Celia one-on-one!

 

“He’s grown well.”

 

It seemed like several praise cards would be needed.

 

“Now it’s the youth division matches. With Yurio’s… level of skill, what do you think will happen?”

 

“Victory is possible. It’s a possibility though.”

 

If the bracket draws work in his favor and opponent analysis is done thoroughly, it’s possible.

 

However, it’s difficult to guarantee 100% that Walker Rank level can defeat Expert Rank.

 

There’s merely a possibility.

 

Even that alone is quite remarkable.

 

‘I should examine the Youth Division preliminaries and analyze the main opponents.’

 

“In the General Division, we… it would still be difficult, wouldn’t it?”

 

“Top 10 is possible. Victory is not.”

 

Ziel spoke as if making a definitive statement!

 

Gilbert understood it this way.

 

‘Indeed, since Master-level opponents will appear, it won’t be easy for us.’

 

But Ziel’s true meaning was this.

 

‘Because I’m participating.’

 

The time for Dark Ghost to make their move was gradually approaching.

 

“Now, we will hold the award ceremony for the Junior Division champion!”

 

But before that, it was time to congratulate the disciples.
