NOVEL NEXT Chapter 72.2
Their strategy was excellent. They would use as little power as possible and only take advantage.
Yeah, it’s not a wrong statement, but… Hmm.
However, Isaac lifted the corner of his mouth as if he found it cute.
“I told you, didn’t I? The next will be the Red Pentagon. If you don’t listen to me, you guys will be in trouble, right?”
His team members burst into laughter.
“Hey! Don’t boast. The order of the Pentagon is the glorious history and tradition of the Holy Empire. Do you think it will change? Even the Grandpa Cardinal himself can’t change it!”
“If it changes, you’ll be the Grandpa Cardinal and my older brother.”
Yeah, there’s no way it will change.
However.
“Guys! We’ve got a big problem!”
“Oh, Isaac was right! The test order has been changed! The next test is the Red Faith!”
“What?!”
Is this like a bolt from the blue falling from the sky?!
“J-just now, His Excellency the Red Cardinal went to the Gold Cardinal and changed it!”
They looked at Isaac as if shivering.
Isaac grinned.
“That’s what I said, right? Oh, the Red Grand Inquisitor is a nice person, so I survived.”
The Blue team, who was planning to take it easy, was thrown into chaos.
No, what on earth did he do?
‘Could it be that the Red Cardinal really changed the order of the test because of Isaac’s request?’
What about the Holy Empire’s glorious history and tradition??
Especially when the Red and the Blue don’t get along?
“What have you done?!”
“Well, now we have to change the titles. If what I said is right, what should you call me? Grandpa? Elder? Brother?”
“…”
“Come on, call me quickly.”
Damn it!
Seeing the despairing Blue team, Isaac laughed instead of answering.
* * *
“What?! The Red Pentagon position has been changed?”
In the Red team, there was a commotion at the unexpected news.
“D-Did Cardinal Sephet really have a fight with the Gold Cardinal?”
“Just because of one request from Isaac Eshua? What nonsense is this…”
In fact, the most embarrassing thing in this situation was delivering the news, and it was Naiser.
-Father, what are you talking about! Changing the order of the Pentagon? Why!
-Isaac Eshua made a request.
-Is this a joke?
He protested to his father, but the Red Cardinal just laughed meaningfully.
-He said he would show me something interesting.
Naiser was stunned and speechless.
Interesting? Interesting?!
Just because of that, he accepted the request of a rival?
His father wasn’t just the head of torture and interrogation. He was sincere about subduing the Demon King; ruthless, cold, and even heartless towards his own children.
He didn’t just do things without any reason.
So all he could do was feel anxious.
‘It seems like my father is paying too much attention to Isaac Eshua.’
And he even changed the test assignment!
It was frustrating to follow Isaac’s will, but well, it turned out to be a good thing.
“Originally, it was a one-on-one duel, but it changed to a team duel.”
And the opponent?
‘Indeed, Father.’
[The Red Team (30 members) vs. The Blue Team (30 members)]
[The Red Team Leader: Naiser Sephet]
[The Blue Team Leader: Shuri Eshua]
As expected, he gave me such an opportunity!
‘The opponent is the Blue team, and the leader is Shuri Eshua? This is a piece of cake.’
The Red team specializing in torture and interrogation was the strongest in martial arts and individual combat.
And the Blue team?
He knew their skills better than anyone else.
Overall, they were all weaklings. After all, they had been their prey since the Academy days. Pitiful creatures who couldn’t rebel even if they were tortured.
“I don’t know what made them push up the Red Faith, but they only have one King. If it’s not two Kings, it’s a definite failure in the dropping score. They really dug their own grave.”
Naiser was irritated, but he chuckled instead.
Certainly, his father did that, right?
He allowed attacking Isaac Eshua even in the Red Pentagon. Just show off your strength.
‘Yeah, it worked out well. There’s no need to go all the way to the Gold Pentagon. I’ll kill him in this Pentagon.’
In the Pentagon, as long as it was an accident, it would be handled and processed in the test field.
Now, during the one-on-one combat, it was a chance for revenge.
‘Even if Isaac Eshua seems impressive, can he defeat an entire Red team alone?’
Just to be clear, the Red team had been an elite group since their early childhood.
Well, according to rumors, screams could be heard from the Blue team’s dormitory. They seemed to train hard… but that was it.
In that team, only Isaac and Shuri seemed to stand out. No matter how good they were, could they handle thirty members of the Red Faith?
‘I’ll play with them.’
Yes, that’s what he thought.
He thought so, but.
“All right, the test for Red has begun. Are you ready, you bastards?”
“Grrrr.”
“…???”
The Imperial Martial Arts Field where the Red Pentagon was taking place.
The Red team looked confused at the strange atmosphere of the Blue team.
“Wha- what’s going on with them?”
Other teams who came to watch were also puzzled.
However, Naiser was perplexed for a different reason.
The changed Blue team was still a team, but…
‘What the heck.’
The test site was in great turmoil.
The priests, of course, including the Red Cardinal and even the Gold Cardinal, looked bewildered.
The laughing Red Cardinal sweated with an embarrassed face.
“Hmm… I didn’t expect this to be interesting.”
Faces that were completely unexpected. The gathered court and all the priests were in confusion.
“Oh my, why is he there?”
At the cry of one priest, eventually, Naiser, unable to bear it, pointed to the Blue team.
“Yeah, damn it! Why is Kina Berit in the Blue team!!”
Kina Berit, who was pointed at, frowned as if unpleasant, and raised his eyes.
Even after rubbing his eyes and looking again, Kina Berit, wearing a blue cord tightly, was next to Isaac Eshua.
And he was right next to Isaac.
Isaac, looking at the confused judges, grinned.
“One of our team got an upset stomach. I brought someone in a hurry to match the number of people. He’s just an apprentice, so there’s no problem, right?”
Damn it! Kina Berit is just an apprentice!!!?
Moreover, the Gold Faith is not at all compatible with the Red Faith!
‘But still, why is Kina Berit in the Blue team?’
What is the relationship between Isaac and him?
The eyebrows of the Gold Cardinal, who had planned to use the Red Pentagon to kill Isaac, were twitching.
But Kina Berit, looking at the Blue team with disdain, confirmed with Isaac.
“If I take care of those little brats, will you really study with me?”
“Yeah, I’ll study with you.”
“Good. No need for further words.”
Kina Berit loosened his hands with a cracking sound.
Seeing that, Naiser sweated, and Isaac just grinned.
Ah, foolish priests.
‘Raising faith seems easy.’
