Following the instructions of the commentator, all the students except for Senba Academy and Werewolf Academy got off the stage and headed for the players' waiting room.

　As many swordsmen moved on, I glanced at the audience.

(Wow, that's a lot of spectators. ......)

　The place was packed - there wasn't even an empty seat in sight.

　That's the Ken-Oh Festival.
　Even though it's only the preliminary round, the public's attention is far greater.

(It's going to be very difficult to find Leah in this crowd. ......)

　(It's very difficult to find Leah in this crowd, isn't it? ......) To be honest, it's not realistic to find Leah out of tens of thousands of people in the audience.

　And yet, if you look at the audience, you will see that

I'm not sure what to make of that.

　The live commentator announced loudly.

　The next moment, the excitement in the hall reached a climax, and the cheers sounded like a rumbling of the earth.

Come on, come on!　Now that the atmosphere in the hall has warmed up, let's get right to the player introductions!

　The commentator cleared his throat and began to introduce the players with great enthusiasm.

I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.　I'm not sure what to make of that.　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.　I heard that he was going to be admitted to the Fifth Academy. ....... You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of these in the marketplace.　In other words, his simple ability can be said to be in the class of the five academies!

　After receiving the introduction, a swordsman slowly walked onto the stage.

　Garou-Jundler.
　It's a great way to get to know your fellow students.
　His face is well-defined, and his eyes are full of confidence.
　He is a little taller than I am, maybe in the mid-1700s.
　He was dressed in the uniform of the werewolf academy, with a crimson cross running across the crimson fabric.

　And then.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!　Let them bleed, Garou!

"Kill all the scum of the Thousand Blade Academy!

Show those losers that the times have changed!

　A foul-mouthed cheer flew from one of the spectators' seats.
　They were all wearing the same uniform as Mr. Garou.
　They were probably students of the werewolf academy.

　As Lirim said, it's not a very nice school.

The next one is the spearhead of the Thousand Blade Academy, Allen Rhodle!　I'm not sure what to make of that.　I'm not sure what to make of that. You can find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of thing. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　It was an incredibly sad introduction to .......

(Everything you say is correct, but ....... (Everything you said is true, but ...... you could have done a more decent introduction. ......)

　Just as I was thinking about it.

When I was thinking about it, I thought, "Pfft ...... hahahahahaha!　I'm not sure what to make of that.

"Isn't the quality of the students too bad, huh?

I'm not sure what to make of this.　I'm not sure what to make of it.

　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

　(It's been a while since I've seen anything like this, .) Thanks to the gradual increase in my friends lately, I've encountered less and less of this kind of abuse.
　And my days have been so full of ups and downs that I've forgotten that I'm not a member.

　Then I heard

"Alene!　I'm with you!　Don't let these people beat you!

　Right behind me, in the front row of the auditorium, Leah was shouting and waving at me.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do, and how you're going to do it.

I'm not sure what to say.　And everyone else ......!

　I waved my hand in the direction of Leah, and that's when I felt a little strange.

(That's weird. ......)

　Despite the fact that I was being mocked by the Senbi Academy, everyone in the class and the seniors were strangely quiet.

　In fact, for some reason, they are grinning and smiling.

(What in the world is going on here?)

　I looked at the audience and tilted my head.

When I looked at the audience and tilted my head, he said, "Hey, hey, what's the matter?　What's the matter? If you've gone mad, you can just give up.

　Mr. Garou scoffed at me.

...... No, I'm fine.

　I'm used to being heckled by the crowd.

And I'm not alone anymore,.......

　One person's cheers can easily outweigh 10,000 shouts.

　And then.

I'm not alone. ....... Well, you can rest easy. It's not like you're taking it seriously.　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.



　As a swordsman, I could not let this go unheard.

...... A swordsman's game is a serious game.

　It is true that I have not been accepted into any school, and I have not been able to manifest my soul armor yet.

　But still, I'm a swordsman.

　It's too rude to cut corners in a serious competition.

　And then.

"Hey, hey, that's a fun thing to say. ....... I'm not sure what to make of that.　You can't have a serious competition ....... I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.

...... So, is it?

　I'm not sure what to make of this.

　There is only one thing I can do.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

　I was insulted so badly as a swordsman that my will to fight flared up in my heart.

　Right after that.

I'm not sure if you're ready for this.　I'm sure you've heard of it.

　The live commentary announced the start of the match.

　At the same time, I kicked the ground hard in order to close the gap.

　The next moment I was already right in front of Mr. Garou.

"......What?

"......?

　We both shouted in astonishment at the same time.

(This is ......?

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

　I didn't notice it because I was just training in the dark.
　It seems that as the darkness took hold of my body, my physical abilities increased dramatically.

(But what to do ......?)

　As you can see, slashing at an opponent who hasn't drawn his sword seems like a bad idea for a ...... swordsman.

(But this is a serious game. ......)

　To cut corners here would be nothing short of insulting to Mr. Garou.

(You can't just slash at an unarmed opponent. .......) (You can't slash at an unarmed opponent. ......)

　I was caught in the middle between the two incompatible sides, and as a compromise, I launched a front kick.

I'm not sure what to say.

　I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm not sure what to do.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

"What about ......?

　The whole place went silent at the unexpected event.

　Flying horizontally, Mr. Garou slammed his entire body into the wall of the venue, completely losing consciousness.

　An unbelievable silence enveloped the Orestes National Arena, where tens of thousands of people had gathered.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before. I'm sorry, sir!　The winner, Allen-Roddle!

　At the moment when the bewildered commentator declared the winner...

That's it!

　I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not.

"Did you see that, werewolf academy!　This is our Allen-Rhoddle!

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.　This is our back boss!

This is our back boss!　I'll take the next spearhead and middle rounds as well!

　We're going to take the next spearhead and middle rounds as well!" The seniors were so excited about their good fortune that they shouted something strange.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one. It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.

But to not even use a sword in a serious fight,....... Garou, you poor man. ....... I wonder if he'll ever be able to recover as a swordsman again. ......

Allen-Rhoddle. ....... Allen-Rhoddle, a man with a gentle face and a devilish cruelty behind it: ......

　A rumor was spreading around the audience.

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

Haha ....... I hope I don't get in trouble again. ......

　I sighed heavily and slowly walked off the stage.

　Anyway - this is how I won my spearhead match against Garou-Jundler.
