I Became the Academy’s Disabled Student

"Ta-da! Priest, look at this!"

[?]

A cool morning. I rubbed my eyes as I came down to the living room, blinking a few times.

Daera, who had already come downstairs, suddenly lifted a golden trophy. The engraved text naturally caught my attention.

[Siyeoram 122nd Tournament 1st Year Division]
[Champion, Ipchun, Daera Celeste]

"Hehehe..."

As I read aloud the inscription, Daera’s shoulders twitched with pride. She then flashed a triumphant smile, puffing out her chest.

"I won it all! See, I told you, I’m the number one first-year fighter!"

Daera Celeste was the winner of the 1st Year Division of the tournament.

She must have been incredibly happy, as she had been holding the trophy since early morning.

[Congratulations]

"What? You don’t sound very sincere."

[Of course not]

I shook my head in response to the suspicious look she gave me while pouting.

[I just thought Daera would win the 1st Year Division]

There was no way anyone else could have outclassed Daera Celeste, who had been fighting without safety measures for years.

Moreover, her control of the thunderclap was overwhelming in both technique and output.

The only one who could even challenge her was Lee Ha-sol.

With excellent technique, even though his output was lower, his stability, thanks to his bow, gave him an edge.

However, the conditions weren’t favorable.

Lee Ha-sol’s main weapon was a bow.

Although the arena was vast, it wasn’t large enough to force a long-range fight, especially with someone of his caliber.

Once they began, it was hard to escape the range of Daera's thunderclap. And since I was observing everything from afar, I knew exactly what was happening.

Unfortunately, Lee Ha-sol had to settle for second place.

"Hehe, okay, I admit it. You should’ve just said that from the start."

[How could I have said it first─ Uweeeh]

"Heh! How dare the priest talk back to me, the great Daera!"

A hand suddenly reached out and messed up my hair. It felt like a playful teasing, almost like a puppy being petted.

"But you won too. You don’t look very happy about it."

[I thought I’d win too]

"Wow, what confidence. Though I can’t deny you’re right."
