Ainz O Ace, who was born in a family of dark knights, reached the age when he could barely hold a toy-like wooden sword—about five years old, in a place where everything speaks with strength and personal wishes are completely ignored Under the circumstances, he was sent to the school attached to the Knights.

Although when she was born, the war between the five races in the Dark Territory to compete for territory and a few resources in the barren land had ended, and the five major races of humans, giants, orcs, ogres, and goblins signed a treaty, unanimously planning to attack the human world to plunder there. Working hard with the rich resources monopolized by a small number of people in the entire world, but as expected, no amount of troops felt enough.

The Integrity Knights and the eternally young undead witch at their apex are too powerful, but the ordinary army of the human world is not to be feared. As long as they use sufficient multiples of human sea tactics to rush up, the melee troops will be dragged into melee, and the rear A large number of dark warlocks and crossbowmen carpet attack regardless of the consequences, and they will always win. The question lies in the losses of each race, and whether there will be a new civil war for the resources of the human world. From this point of view, as purely physical strength, it is only better than goblins among the five races, but it is not as powerful as goblins. For a powerful human race, the army is never too large or too strong.

However, it is impossible to have an absolute numerical advantage on a land where resources are scarce, so the survival of the fittest must be improved to improve individual strength.

As a girl, she will not receive preferential treatment in school, on the contrary, she will be the target of bullying.

But after thinking about it, probably many of them did not intentionally bully, but that kind of school is to step on the weak to climb up to create dark knights. This kind of elite human race in the dark field, the powerful dark knights can even fight against others. Integrity knights who used the [Armor Full Control Art] competed.

But Ayinzi felt that what happened to him was even more unreasonable than this competition of survival of the fittest.

While practicing swordsmanship, a knight also needs to learn a certain degree of dark art to assist in combat. She showed a talent stronger than swordsmanship when she was practicing dark art, but because her swordsmanship talent was relatively low, it was not hopeless. In addition, the relationship between the Dark Knights and the Warlock Guild is not good, so it is recommended to learn the magic sword technique.

Demon sword skills are quite unpopular sword skills, because the magic sword skills rely on space resources, even if the power of a single shot is higher than the inherent sword skills, it is not as powerful as the continuous sword skills that cannot be stopped once dancing. The additional effect of Darkness can also be supplemented by the supplementary level of Darkness. Therefore, the significance of the magic sword skill can be said to be used by melee arms and warlocks to grab people.

Ainz was not dissatisfied, because of her background, she often heard bad things from the leadership of the Warlock Guild.

She felt her fate was changed because of that test—

One day of actual combat testing, the Dark Knight referee announced: "This is an actual combat drill with real swords and real swords. It is a battle that puts your life on the line. Be prepared to kill your opponent or be killed!"

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources, and read aloud with many timbres; both Android and Apple are available. 】

Half of the students will be eliminated, and there will be a few more rounds later. Only the strong ones at the end of the battle will be able to enter the Dark Knights—becoming the vanguard to fight against the integrity knights in the future. The danger also means being able to stand out as a strong man and gain glory and wealth.

It is true that the integrity knights are unbelievably strong, but the number is just that, the ordinary army of the human world is weaker than the dark domain, and there are also a few people in the dark knights who can reach the strength of the middle and lower integrity knights, and use other miscellaneous soldiers to consume [Armed Full Control Technique], together with dense long-range fire cover, it is definitely not impossible to use hundreds of dark knights to attack one integrity knight to win.

"Ainz O Ace, duel, Lipia Zankel."

She and another female trainee knight walked into the training ground.

Although she has only practiced to this level, she actually has armor, and Lipia, who has done her hair and put on lipstick schemingly, makes her very upset, and she can only use her destiny to vent her anger.

After five rounds, Ainzi fell.

"Are you kidding me? Why can you switch to fake moves in continuous swordplay!" She was hit in the waist by a sword and was forced to kneel on one knee due to severe pain and supported her body with the sword on the ground.

At this time, the Dark Knight yelled: "Why don't you give the last blow!"

Of course, the duel rules do not require killing. The Dark Knight was angry that Lipia's attack that just knocked down his opponent was lenient in the end. At the same time, he was experienced and he also saw that Ainz hadn't completely lost his fighting power because of this.

Lipia: "But, Your Excellency, this is—"

"Isn't it over? Good opportunity!" Aiyinzi turned his hand, which was originally tucked in his waist to cover his wound, secretly preparing for a little healing, and changed the chant to turn the dark art into an attack and blast it out.

Lipiya staggered backward due to the impact, and the gauntlets and breastplate were obviously damaged. Although he tried his best to stabilize his figure, he turned half a circle, revealing his long hair and the back of his waist.

Aiyinzi resisted the wound and forcibly rushed forward due to tearing blood, launching the magic sword skill [Thunderstorm].

However, before the lightning-condensed sword fell heavily, the opponent turned around and drew it out. The blade pierced into her arm holding the sword.

She fell to the ground with smoke all over her body and couldn't get up again. Should I say it's unfortunate? The wound was also scorched by the heat of the lightning strike.

In the consciousness lake, she heard Lipia say, "Eh? I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!"

The referee said sternly: "This is the consequence of holding back. Just now, why didn't you end up with your opponent!"

"Because ~lightnovelpub.net~ this is not an actual battle. The possibility of the loser's future should not be denied." Lipia replied righteously.

That Hundan, pretend to be a good child if you get cheap, right? If you treat this as a play, you should be more merciful and stop it, or simply hit it with a scabbard. She can be said to be useless for the rest of her life after being hit with this kind of injury. ...

Leaving aside those actions, why does she have such a good armor at her age? If it weren't for that armor, she must have won the counterattack just now! It must have been a gift from home, and those strange movements that most people can't do must have learned from a more skilled swordsmanship teacher, and she doesn't have any of these, she is obviously a guy who relies on the backstage for a living, but...

"Forget it, you won this round. Remember, if you are not used to killing now, you will hesitate when you go to the battlefield. Go down first, and this is not an example." After the referee sent Lipia away, he bowed his head to her. The smoking "coke" said, "Huh, take her away and throw her away...that's a no-nonsense person."

She really wanted to shout that she was not dead and could be rescued, but she quickly gave up. This was a life-and-death battle, and she missed the sneak attack. She was too useless. If she didn't die, she might be hit by someone who was weaker than her but wanted to climb up. There was no one here to ask for help.
