The tip of the greatsword lightly touched the battlefield; part of the blade had already been melted by the flames. For the first time, Elsie felt...
excited!
If he were more capable, even the Goblin King wouldn't have been a match for him. Yes, all he lacked was experience and age.
Is this some kind of magical artifact?
The boost provided by the artifact allows a child to easily acquire the qualities to become a king!
Don't belittle yourself like that, Elsie!
"You finally called me by the right name."
【Hey! 】
[Child of Blood (Curse Progress 65%)]
Is it him?
"It seems not. The curse has increased, but it's not full yet."
"Then there's no problem. You won't die today!"
[Round Two Begins!]
[It's about to start! Just hope!]
Noah had already drawn his bowstring taut, and the flaming arrow burst forth!
Elsie dodged in a flash, closing the distance in an extremely short time; her speed was more than enough... um!?
Time seemed to slow down. Noah's eyes followed Elsie's movements, and his body twisted in an instant to defend against Elsie's attack.
he……
I've caught up with my own pace!
Elsie swung her greatsword, but the blade was once again deflected by the divine bow, damaging the blade.
[I just don't understand! What's the working principle behind this? Is this cheating?!]
The narrator was already questioning the meaning of life at this point, but Elsie must be even more confused now.
"Alright, since pure physics won't work, then I'll abandon all martial ethics!" Elsie gathered a vortex of wind in her palm.
Wait, wait! What?! When did you learn magic?!
At this moment, Dean Xinglan also turned her gaze to Elsie. The faint magical aura was so faint that the other teachers could not detect it.
But he couldn't be fooled!
Elsie can use magic?! She has magical aptitude! A heavy cavalryman who can use magic?! What kind of fantasy world is this?!
"Here we go!" Elsie pointed her palm at Noah, and a series of beautiful magical runes quickly appeared on her wrist.
Xinglan was shocked: "Such a fast chanting speed, what kind of magic is this?"
He had never seen this magic before; it seemed to be… self-created!? That risk was far too great!
"Wind pressure bomb!" Elsie shouted dramatically.
[Damn, do you even have this skill? I think it's really unnecessary to shout it out! It's too much of a shock to my fragile psyche!]
The sphere formed by the gathering of wind elements hurtled straight at Noah. Although Noah was shocked, he had seen it before and dodged the projectile with a quick movement.
"Don't forget, my wind magic is legendary. The magic system in this world is so simple that I seem to be able to create many magical constructs."
In Elsie's hands, tens of thousands of magical runes could be freely combined.
[Holy crap!? Where did this cheat come from?]
“I don’t know, maybe…” El thought, looking at the runes, “This is what the nameless skeleton was talking about…”
"Natural disaster."
She grasped the essence of creating magic in an instant; these things seemed innate and obeyed her every command.
[Seeing my daughter so strong, I'm so proud! t^t]
"Oh, such a big change in attitude, are you afraid I'll abandon you?"
Are you willing to do that?
"Um."
【qAq That's too much! That's too much!!!】
"After all, someone doesn't do anything, doesn't even call you by your name properly, and even..."
[It's my fault! It's my fault! Please stop scolding me! Please stop! Waaah...]
【？】
【Elsie?】
[Elsie, Noah's here! Elsie!!! Wake up!!! Now is not the time to sleep!]
Elsie suddenly lost focus, the world went dark, and she felt incredibly cold.
Until, a pair of blue eyes watched her from the darkness.
No!
Not just one pair, but a whole bunch!
Elsie sensed hostility and a sense of threat.
"The kings who chase the crown are all bound by the curse of the black crown; it is a fate that none of us kings can escape..."
"The Black Crown King will return to the throne, and the one who stole the crown will be beheaded beneath it."
She remembered the nameless skeleton's words.
She finally realized that those blue eyes belonged to... the Black Crown King!
He saw himself, because he himself was trying to comprehend the natural disaster!?
It's too late, it's all over...
My reincarnation this time has truly been... tragic and lonely...
Hey! Have you finished exclaiming?
"Holy crap!? Narration?"
[What loneliness?! Elsie! Come back and continue your main storyline!]
Elsie suddenly awoke to find Noah had shot out an arrow before her!
"Wind Barrier!" Elsie quickly condensed runes to block, but suddenly a deep roar resounded from the darkness.
The silver magic circle in her hand suddenly shattered!
"What!?" Elsie's eyes widened. She was certain she hadn't messed up the release process! How could the magic circle have shattered!?
【Elsie!】
The chaotic magic backfired on her body, and when she awoke again, a group of priests had already begun to heal her.
Elsie, the Black Crown... has its eye on you.
Elsie understood; it was the roar in her mind that had interrupted the magic.
[The Blackcrown Curse: The Blackcrown King and his allies hunt down everyone who wears a crown, and you are one of them. "We have seen your world."]
See? I told you not to touch the side quests!
[Follow the main storyline diligently, increase your strength, defeat Allen, and become the overlord of the South!]
Trust me, if you follow the main storyline, a very tragic ending awaits you!
"Narrator..."
【？】
"Stop copying game quotes, I've played it..."
Tch! ●^●
...
Elsie recovered quickly thanks to the priests' healing.
"I'm sorry, Elsie, you lost." Dean Xinglan sat down next to Elsie and helped her remove her armor.
"My lord!" Connor came to Elsie's side.
But Elsie maintained her smile: "Of course I knew I would lose, after all, Windsor reminded me, didn't she?"
"Ah~ I'll win next time!"
Seeing that Elsie was alright, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Connor sat next to Elsie, also glad that his lord was not Noah.
At this moment, Noah also won first place in the second test in a daze. For some reason, he felt that Elsie had held back. He even felt the threat of death, although it was only for a moment!
...
The assessment has concluded, and Elsie emerged victorious, earning six knighthoods and a set of excellent equipment.
"Huh?" Elsie was dumbfounded.
It seems... your overall score is very high?
Well, some knights can beat Connor, but their lords can't beat Elsie. Noah defeated Elsie, but his knights were afraid before the battle even started.
Windsor didn't score for the Cavaliers, but they still made it into the top ten on their own, earning three Cavaliers spots.
Noah is one of the six knights, not far behind Elsie.
They still have a long time to grow up...
As for now...
"Come on, children, the knights have been waiting for a long time." Bogp smiled and led the children to another training ground.
