𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟔𝟖: 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫-𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞 (1)
The Inter-grade League was a game where each grade, from freshmen to seniors, would play twice, and the team with the most kill points from both games would win.
Of course, it was possible to use the method of holing up in the home base to avoid getting killed in the game, but in order to prevent that, a system was introduced where destroying the first fortress would increase the kill count by 10, and destroying the second fortress would increase it by 20, which made it virtually impossible to avoid going out and fighting on the line.
“Here’s the list of participating students from the second and third grades.”
“There’s one Platinum rank in the second grade, and the rest are all Gold rank.”
“It’s not easy for a cadet to reach Platinum, so there’s a possibility that they’re hiding their true strength.”
“Let’s get started, then.”
At Gilgamesh’s words, Oswald began his briefing as team leader.
“First, in the top lane, we have Wolfgang Amadeus, an unusual melee wizard who uses martial arts magic. His circle is about 5th circle, and his most powerful spell is Explosion Pistol. Of course, since it’s so explosive, he has the disadvantage of having to use a shield spell on himself. . . . . . It’s going to be quite powerful since it explodes at close range.”
Oswald then went on to explain about the mid laner.
“The mid laner is Braun Falcon, a Platinum rank swordsman. If Anna finds it difficult to deal with him, we can switch lanes with Gilgamesh.”
“Don’t worry, I have a secret weapon. . . . . . “
“Very well, then Anna will continue to take the mid lane.”
“Yes.”
“Now. Next is the jungler, Anastasia Mikhailov. As her name suggests, she’s from the north, and like Dominika here, she’s a northrian. She’s strong enough not to be pushed around.”
Beatrice, who was licking her lips again at those words, was truly a bloodthirsty friend.
“The special thing about her is that she’s a Valkyrie of the Thor church.”
Valkyrie. It was a term used to refer to a female paladin belonging to the Thor church. Of course, there was Einherjar as a separate term to refer to male paladins.
“She uses a spear and shield, so Beatrice, you’d better be careful.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it myself.”
Lick.
She licked the tip of her finger as she answered, and her expression, which seemed to be subtly seducing Oswald, was even more disconcerting.
‘𝘜𝘨𝘩. . . . . .’
“Next is the ranged damage dealer on the bottom lane, Forest Sol Cherokee, a native of the New Continent. He’s a ranged type who uses javelins and bows, and he can use shamanic techniques for physical enhancement or initiating techniques.”
There were also imperial territories on the New Continent, and there were also native tribes that belonged to the imperial territories. Forest Sol was the successor to the Cherokee tribe, a native tribe that belonged to such an imperial territory.
“Finally, the supporter, Deacon Bratislava. He’s a cold-type wizard who specializes in spells that can restrain his opponents. He can also use powerful cold spells from time to time. . . . Well, I’ll just snipe him and take care of him, so that won’t be a problem.”
He then went on to brief about the third grade. As expected of the third grade, there were as many as three Platinum ranks.
First, there was Dopamine, a Platinum rank in the top lane, a commoner who had risen to the rank of Sword Master through sheer effort. Of course, Oswald knew that Dopamine was a disciple of Flower, the Flower Knight of the Dark Brotherhood.
The mid laner was also a Platinum rank, a master of two revolvers, Balkan Revolver. As his name suggests, he was a descendant of the Revolver Earl family, and as such, he used a custom-made revolver.
Next was the jungler, a Gold rank, naturalized Barbarian druid, Ragna Baersonring. He had mastered a technique called Beast Form, which allowed him to transform into a Giant Bear, a Dire Wolf, or a Giant Eagle to fight.
Since he was an expert level, he was able to use aura even in his transformed state, making him quite powerful.
Last was the bottom lane. A Gold rank ranged damage dealer, Purna Vanoi. He used a gauntlet-shaped slingbow, and sometimes used to shoot barbed iron beads. Since he was at the level of a bow expert, he was able to infuse his arrows or iron beads with aura and shoot them.
The last Platinum rank and supporter, Kaiser Ignil. He was originally from the collateral imperial family of the Great Zhou Empire, but he lost in the war of succession and fled to the Imperial Empire during his father’s reign to avoid being purged.
His race was, oddly enough, half-dragon, Draconian, and although his bloodline was greatly diluted, he still retained the characteristics of a dragon.
By the way, all of the imperial family of the Great Zhou Empire are Draconians, half-dragons. He had mastered the Scorching Heat Divine Art, and used fire-attribute aura. His level was that of a Fighter Master and a 4th circle wizard.
‘𝘏𝘦’𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘣𝘶𝘵. . . . . . 𝘏𝘦’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘳.’
He thought that it would probably be the most fierce battle.
After that, Oswald’s first-year representative team formed an opposing team with students of a similar disposition to the second and third years, and went into practice. Of course, it would be different from fighting the real second and third year representative teams. . . . . . But it was still a way to continue playing league games in order to improve their teamwork.
🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸
The opening game finally began.
The two teams that would start the opening game had to be drawn. The two teams drawn would fight each other and win the victory. And the remaining one team would be able to gain an advantage in the next game by first watching the game between the two teams.
“Sigh, the third years right off the bat?”
A third-year league team with three students who had reached the Platinum rank. Oswald exchanged the five knight golems in the mid lane for five heavy armored golems.
“Are you okay with this?”
Oswald nodded at Anna’s question.
“Then, I wish you all the best.”
The Inter-grade League finally began. The first match was a fight between the first-year representative team and the third-year representative team.
The first-year representative team received the blue color, and the third-year representative team received the red color. Meanwhile, the second-year representative team sat in the waiting room and watched the battle between the two teams in 3D through a magic hologram.
Oswald then rushed to the bottom lane faster than the battle golems.
Oswald rushing at an incredible speed.
Soon, Oswald, who had arrived at the bottom lane bridge, crossed the bridge without hesitation and used Blood Daemon to create a rocket launcher.
‘𝘓𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴.’
Oswald used the four-barreled rocket launcher to aim at the gate and walls of the first fortress and pressed the firing button without hesitation.
Pshushushu! Shuaak! Shuaak! Shuaak! Shuaaaak!
Four missiles flew towards the Red Team’s first fortress in an instant.
Kwaquakwang!
The gate was shattered and one side of the wall collapsed as a result of the attack just now. In the process, two spearman golems and two heavy armored golems guarding the fortress were destroyed.
“Jason!”
Oswald immediately sent the ‘Great Eagle’ Jason, which he had been holding in his arms, flying high into the sky to secure a field of vision.
Jason flew towards the enemy lines. . . . . .
Fortunately, the Red Team’s bottom lane was already past the second fortress with the battle golems.
To that end, Oswald immediately materialized the Beam Saber and rushed into the first fortress. Three heavy armored golems and three spearman golems rushed in to stop Oswald, but they were blown to pieces by Oswald’s wielded Beam Saber.
Eventually, Oswald, who had used his revolver to take care of the archer golems, captured the first fortress by killing the last remaining magic cannon golem.
[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦’𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝.]
The Blue Team, which had captured the first fortress in an instant, gained 10 kills. Because of that, the students who were watching this from outside were in an uproar, and soon cheers erupted among the first-year students.
Oswald, who had captured the first fortress, turned back towards the bridge, avoiding the Red Team liners who were running towards him after hearing the announcement. Kaiser Ignil, his whole body covered in a blazing red flame aura, flew towards the bridge at high speed.
“Do you think I’m going to take this lying down?”
If that was the case, Oswald had an idea, and immediately changed Blood Daemon into an anti-materiel sniper railgun and sniped the flying Ignil head-on.
Taang! Pajijijik! Shuaaaak!
A streak of crimson blood blocked Kaiser Ignil, who was flying straight ahead.
Kwaaaang!
Kaiser staggered with the explosion. To that end, Oswald fell back and gradually began to lure Kaiser. While doing so, Oswald checked Kaiser’s Status Window.

‘𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘯, 𝘩𝘶𝘩. . . . . . 𝘏𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘶𝘥𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵.’
In particular, his magic power level was quite high, unlike his magic skills. And this was even a Draconian with a greatly diluted bloodline. In the case of a direct bloodline with horns or a dragon’s body, he would have an even higher level of ability.
“Hwaaaap!”
Hwarururuk!
At that moment, Kaiser, who had burst out a flame aura and shouted a battle cry, kicked the ground once more and flew towards him.
Watching Kaiser rushing straight in, Oswald pulled the trigger at the right moment.
Taang! Pajijijik! Shuaaaak. Kwaaaang!
Thanks to that, Kaiser stopped right in front of the heavy armored golem. Dominika, the supporter, then rushed forward and braced herself with her shield.
In the meantime, Oswald used the anti-materiel sniper railgun to snipe the battle golems on the bottom lane that had just appeared.
“That bastard!! Are you ignoring me?”
‘𝘐𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘵-𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘥?’
Kaiser, who had lost his reason and was about to charge straight at Oswald, was stopped by Dominika.
“How dare you try to harm me with such a flame? Don’t be ridiculous!!”
Hwarururuk.
Kaiser rushed towards Dominika, spewing out a crimson red flame aura. Flames surged from his two hands and pounded on Dominika’s shield.
“Ugh. . . . . . “
Dominika groaned as the tremendous impact was transmitted through her shield. She was pushed back for a while, and only stopped when the heavy armored golems came to her aid.
Dominika immediately swung her Battle Axe on the ground and grabbed the iron chain connected to her wrist and began to swing it. She infused the aura into the Battle Axe, which had a long reach, and swung it to hit Kaiser’s left flank as he ran towards her.
“Not good!”
Ta-aaang!
At that moment, Oswald’s gunfire resumed once more. A moment later. . . . . .
[𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝! 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦’𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐝.]
“Thiiiis!! This damn freshman!!”
Kaiser burned even more fiercely and rushed towards Oswald. . . . . . But Dominika clung to his ankles until the end.
“I’ll take care of you next!”
At some point, an Aura Blade was gathering in Kaiser’s right hand, and even Dominika could not guarantee her survival against an Aura Blade.
At that moment, Oswald stepped forward. He fired a railgun at Kaiser, who was just about to punch Dominika.
Taang! Pajijijik. Kwaang!
Kaiser, who had barely managed to block the powerful railgun bullet by raising his Guarding Aura, gnashed his teeth.
At that moment, the bullet shower that flew in once more hit Kaiser directly, and he was unable to respond properly.
