The Organization Collapsed on My First Day of Infiltration Episode 246
From Now On, I’m the Big Brother
Delev’s situation was the same.
“Bro. If I win, from now on I’m the big brother.”
Perhaps because they were similar in age, or because they were friends, the words they spoke were similar.
And surprisingly, both fought quite well in their respective matches.
Aken Kundel.
Joshuah Rihart.
Both had learned the same swordsmanship from the same families.
However, while those two focused thoroughly on their family swordsmanship, Delev and Celia explored each other’s techniques and branched out in new directions under Ziel’s guidance.
They had accomplished something through Ziel’s lessons that only someone with considerable skill could do.
“Huh. Was our family’s swordsmanship… that swift?”
“…Why does it look so heavy?”
It wasn’t a matter of absolute speed or strength.
The feeling contained within the swordsmanship.
Delev’s swordsmanship was mixed with the swiftness of Swift Swordsmanship, while Celia’s swordsmanship was enhanced with the heaviness of Heavy Sword Technique.
Each was based on Heavy Sword Technique and Swift Swordsmanship respectively, but they had incorporated new values within them!
These swordsmanship styles confused Aken and Joshua respectively, and Ziel’s analysis was added to this.
‘Student Aken Kundel still has the habits he showed in the last exchange match and practice. Keep circling to the left. His response is slow on that side, and he gets easily excited and irritated when attacks come from the left.’
Analysis as blood relatives was also added to this.
‘I should tease him.’
“Bro, do you remember? When we were 5? You wet the bed while sleeping…”
“You’re dead!”
It was a very effective attack method.
Celia was the same.
“Brother, do you remember the Lekatarten family?”
“…Do you want to die? Huh?”
The Lekatarten family was a family from the Western Region.
One young lady of Lekatarten was rumored to be very beautiful.
Beautiful enough to make Rihart’s second son completely smitten and offer up every gift he could find!
Blood relatives were scary for this reason.
They knew all the mental weaknesses and past secrets.
“The moment I open my mouth, bro, you’re just…”
“Brother, you know what? You should be grateful to me!”
Ziel nodded as he watched the scene.
“So that’s what brothers and sisters are like.”
Someone might call it dirty and underhanded, but in Ziel’s view, it was an excellent strategy.
Of course, those two were stronger than Delev and Celia.
But even the strong have weaknesses.
Just like how Ziel was weak to desserts.
Not only mental weaknesses, but also habits in swordsmanship, tendencies, and clear openings.
The strategy was simple.
Delev and Celia focused on defense and launched counterattacks when they saw openings.
Actually, even defending was remarkable.
But thanks to the lessons they received from Ziel, they were barely managing to continue their defense—
Clang! Ching!
“Ugh!”
As a result, the first strike was landed by Aken and Joshua.
“My goodness! Did you see that just now?”
“Did an attack get through?”
Amos and Daren were also surprised.
The strategy was working.
The first match was one thing, but for this to work in the second match too.
‘Teacher Ziel, what exactly did you say to the kids?’
The audience grew more and more excited.
Sword School second years!
Following the youth division, they were causing an uproar in the young adult division too, but this was an incomparable uproar.
Students who should have been eliminated in the preliminaries had made it to the main tournament, won their first match, and were showing promise in their second match!
People generally prefer the underdog’s comeback.
“Win! Delevvvvv!”
“Celia! Show them what you’ve got!”
Thus, with enthusiastic cheering added, Aken and Joshua began to panic.
Delev and Celia were young too, but these two were also young.
They were still students, after all.
Perhaps that’s why.
“Let’s end this!”
Being pushed back and becoming impatient, Aken rushed forward in his excitement and ended up making his movements too large—
‘Now!’
Delev rushed toward the opening that appeared just as Ziel had said, thrusting his sword in.
And he slashed.
The armor.
But Delev wasn’t unharmed either.
“Ugh.”
Blood was on Delev’s hands as he hastily retreated.
“Phew, damn. Are you okay?”
“Second Brother, what was that?”
“What do you mean what? It’s the difference in experience.”
Aken, who said that, wasn’t unscathed either. Blood was flowing down from his thigh.
‘As expected, it’s Aken. To react in that moment.’
Amos nodded.
Any other fourth year would have been unable to react and gotten injured helplessly.
But Aken was the only fourth year student who made it to the main tournament.
Before Delev, he was evaluated as Kundel’s greatest talent alongside the Eldest Son.
Also, this was a method he had already observed once in the first match of the main tournament.
‘I won’t fall for it anymore.’
Though he was injured by the precise attack that targeted an opening, he managed to counterattack.
This was the difference between the first and second matches.
‘Still, Second Brother’s injury is worse.’
A thigh injury.
Fatal for footwork.
Meanwhile, Delev’s injury was to his side.
‘There’s only one chance left.’
He instinctively sensed it.
That there was only one opportunity left.
The playfulness disappeared and tension mounted.
From now on, the atmosphere would be different.
Celia felt the same way.
She had inflicted an injury through counterattack.
But her brother’s expression was ominous.
“Well, Joshua’s eyes have changed.”
Both Joshua and Aken hardened their expressions.
This was no longer a fight between brothers and siblings.
It was a serious battle.
“Boss, this doesn’t look easy.”
“Right. Both of them will lose.”
“What? Weren’t they supposed to win?”
Ziel nodded at Gilbert’s question.
“That’s what I thought. But there was one thing I didn’t know.”
“What is it?”
There was something even Boss didn’t know?
“The will to absolutely never lose.”
“What?”
“The existence called older brother or big brother… how interesting.”
Delev and Celia felt the same way.
But an even stronger will was the determination of brothers and big brothers who absolutely could not lose to their younger siblings!
‘If I lose, I’m screwed.’
‘I have to win no matter what!’
If they weren’t in this kind of relationship with each other, it wouldn’t have been this intense.
As Ziel had predicted, they might have collapsed after persistently targeting gaps and weaknesses.
But this very special relationship was making the situation like this.
“So that’s what brotherhood is… like that.”
He learned one more thing from this.
The fact that brothers and siblings hate losing to each other even if it kills them.
‘It’ll be over soon.’
The fierce battle wasn’t entirely without results. Rather, even if Delev and Celia were to lose like this, the losing side would be the ones receiving applause.
Because Aken and Joshua had been injured multiple times to the point where their participation in the semifinals was questionable.
“Huff, huff.”
“Let’s end this, Delev.”
Aken declared with a fed-up expression and charged in to knock down Delev.
“Winner, Aken Kundel!”
With that, the brothers’ fight came to an end.
But Aken’s expression wasn’t very bright.
“Damn. What the hell did you learn from that teacher?”
“A method that would let me beat Second Brother if I keep at it for just one more year?”
“Ah, damn.”
Still, there was something satisfying as an older brother.
For his younger brother to have grown this much.
Of course, he absolutely couldn’t lose though.
“I won’t lose next time either.”
“Will that really happen?”
On the other hand, Delev had a very, very relieved expression.
He lost but felt like he had won.
He even received praise from Ziel.
“Well done, Student Delev Kundel. I thought you would win, but I didn’t consider the competitive spirit between brothers.”
“Hey, but I fought well. I successfully attacked my big brother several times.”
“Next time I’ll win. I’ll make sure of it.”
Shiver!
Delev thought he should escape this place quickly.
Following that, Celia also lost to Joshua.
“Victory, Joshua Rihart!”
She felt similarly to Delev.
“How does it feel to be injured by me?”
“Be quiet.”
“Too bad. I could have made you call me big sister.”
The difference was that she kept scratching at her older brother until the end and came down from the arena?
“Well done, Student Celia Rihart.”
“Better than Delev?”
“In what aspect?”
“The fighting!”
“In terms of injuries, Student Delev Kundel inflicted more critical ones. Though there’s not much difference.”
“….”
“Of course, you inflicted injuries more frequently.”
“Then that’s enough!”
Two students looking very relieved!
On the other hand, Aken and Joshua, who won but couldn’t smile, sighed about the upcoming semifinals.
Eventually, the youth division championship was decided by 6th-year Agres Kundel.
Just like the boys’ division, he went through the special semifinals, and after the chaotic battle, Kundel ultimately claimed that glory!
“Champion, Agres Kundel!”
“Woooooooooo!”
With this, the Kundel Family and Edelwein Academy saved face, while Telvir lost face once again.
“Big brother, congratulations.”
“Good work. You guys too.”
Agres came down from the arena, grinned at his two younger brothers, then placed his hand on Aken’s shoulder.
“You should be nervous, shouldn’t you?”
“Huh?”
“Looking at it, our youngest is going to beat you in the next tournament.”
“…No way!”
“What do you mean no way. The youngest was incredibly good.”
It was true.
He had won quite narrowly.
Even now, thinking about the second match with his younger brother made his spine chill.
Swordsmanship that had added some kind of sharpness instead of the characteristic crudeness of heavy sword technique!
‘Damn, I can’t let my guard down.’
The youngest should always remain the cute youngest, someone he could beat and boss around anytime to truly be youngest-like!
Losing to his younger brother was unimaginable.
Why?
Winning was just breaking even.
Losing would be utterly humiliating!
“Big brother, work hard.”
“Want to die?”
“Has big brother ever been wrong?”
“Why would I lose to you!”
“Yeah. You’ll lose. Just wait and see.”
Thanks to this, Delev’s mood improved and he casually threw a comment to Celia who was nearby.
“Hey, our family won?”
The sibling and brother fights had become a family feud again, but this time the winner was Kundel.
Celia exploded in frustration.
“No, why are you bringing that up now!”
“Hey, if you’re frustrated, you should have made it to the semifinals!”
“I couldn’t make it to the semifinals because of you!”
“Ah. Right. You lost to me, didn’t you?”
“Are you happy? Happy about beating your younger sister? Even though you almost lost!”
It wasn’t.
Looking again, it was a family feud.
Unfortunately, the Telvir Academy student who had made it to the semifinals wasn’t even mentioned.
Though he was also a 6th-year from Telvir Academy, he ultimately couldn’t overcome the wall that was Kundel.
“….”
“Good work. Don’t worry too much about it and rest.”
“But Professor.”
“You can aim for next year.”
What good would it do for the supervising professors to come over late and try hard to console him.
“Damn it.”
Dean Sigmund stood up and left the spectator seats just like that.
The boys’ and youth division matches, filled with upheavals, reversals, and results no one could have predicted, came to an end.
“With this, there’s nothing to worry about this year. Thank you for your hard work, Professor Isabella.”
“You’re the one who worked hard, Department Head.”
“What did I even do? Instead of this, I should request the Dean to give the professors some bonuses. Including Teacher Ziel.”
A tournament where Edelwein Academy laughed while Telbier Academy didn’t even have the energy to cry!
And now what remained was—
‘Finally, it’s my turn.’
The time for Ziel, no, ‘Dark Ghost’ had arrived.
That was indeed the case.
Even now, Ziel wanted to jump into the arena.
But patience was an assassin’s greatest virtue!
‘I endured well.’
From now on, it was Dark Ghost’s time.
Of course, Ziel didn’t know.
That quite a few people had registered with the entry name Dark Ghost.
