76 Darkness and Sword King's Festival [7]





 After successfully winning the first game, I returned to the chairman and the others who were watching over me offstage.

 And then.

"Well done, Mr. Allen, that was brilliant!

"That was a great front kick! I love it!

"Thanks for all your hard work, .......

 I'm so glad I won.

Thank you.

 I smiled and replied, and then looked towards the spectators' seats - my eyes met Leah's exactly.

 I waved to her, who had been cheering for me loudly, and she smiled like a big flower.

 As I was doing this, I heard the clear voice of a live commentator.

Who could have predicted such a result? Allen-Rhoddle may well be the dark horse of this tournament. ......! --Now then, let's begin the second round, the "Spearhead Round"!

 I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm rooting for you, Lilim-senpai!

I'm rooting for you, Lilim!

I want you to do well. ......

I want you to do your best.

 And with that, she went up to the stage in high spirits.

After that, Lirim-senpai was like a fierce

 After that, Lilim showed a fierce attack and won the next round without any trouble.

 Then, in the middle game, Ferris had to fight a little harder, but he managed to win.

 And so, having won all three of our matches - the spearhead, the spearhead, and the middle game - we went on to win the

I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I'm sure you've heard of it. Congratulations!

 We were able to successfully win our first match against the reputedly powerful Werewolf Academy.

 And then.

You're doing great! All of them were good games!

"Hey, hey, hey, is this the year we finally get to see the return of the 'evergreen' Senba Academy?

 The crowd cheered and clapped wildly.

I'm not sure what to make of that. Please go to the players' waiting room for Senbei Academy and Werewolf Academy!

 Then we followed the live commentator to the players' waiting room.

 I walked down the long corridor and just as I opened the door to the waiting room.

"......!

 Almost all the fencers waiting in the waiting room stared at me.

 Some are looking at me sideways.
 I'm not sure what to do.
 Others stared straight at me without even trying to hide it.

(It's not your imagination, is it? ......)

 As I was feeling uncomfortable in this strange situation.

I'm sure you're not the only one.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. I'm so jealous!

I'm jealous!" "...... No, it's just plain annoying.

 I'm not sure what to make of that.

"Don't worry about what other people think. Let's take it easy and get ready for the next game, okay?

"...... Yes, that's right.

 And so I waited for the second round to begin, talking happily with my seniors as usual.

I'm sure you'll agree.

 After that, we just kept on winning at a breakneck pace.

 Most of the games were won by the spearhead, the second spearhead, and the middle spearhead in straight sets.
 Although there were rare defeats for Lilim and Ferris, .......
 In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the site, you can call us at the web site.

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the site, please do not hesitate to contact us.

 The woman who was doing the live commentary shouted the loudest here.

In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, there are a few things you can do. --But will they make it through in first place or in second place? Depending on that, it's heaven and hell from here on out!

 She paused for breath, then continued.

She paused for a breath and then continued, "In the main tournament, the first-place team will be paired with the second-place team from the other group. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to have to. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get the best out of this.

 I'm not sure what to make of that.

(I see, I can't lose this one. ......)

 This is the first time I heard about the groupings of the Ken-Oh Tournament, and I realized the importance of this final match.

 There is no doubt that the first place in each group will go to the five academies, including the Academy of Ice King.
 If we continue to win, we will eventually face the five schools.

 But it's better to do it as late as possible.

(In the main tournament, we will have to play four games in just one day, excluding the "final game": ......)

 The four games are the top 16, top 8, quarterfinals, and semifinals.
 Naturally, each game is a battle to the death, and the physical exhaustion will be tremendous.

(Because of the format of a "series of games" and a "tournament," it is advantageous to play against the five academies as late as possible in order to avoid unnecessary wear and tear and injury. ......)

 As I was thinking about this.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

 The live commentary started with the usual introduction of the players.

"First up is the spearhead of the Thousand Blade Academy, Allen Rhodle! I'm not sure what to make of it. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing and how you're going to do it.



 Then, without pause, he began to introduce the next player.

"Next up is the spearhead of the Astrology Academy, Sven Roslick! He is a member of the Juken-ryu, a rare style that originated in the south of Japan, and like Allen, he has won all of his battles so far!

 After being introduced, a swordsman slowly walked onto the stage.

 Sven Rosric.

 Long black hair on both sides.
 He had a gentle face that could have been three years older than me.
 He is almost as tall as me, about 170 centimeters.
 He wears the uniform of the Academy of Astrology, which looks like a nobleman's uniform, made of white fabric with yellow lines.

 When he came on stage, he stared at me.

I'm Sven Roslick. Please take care of me.

 He held out his right hand and asked for a handshake.

"It's nice to meet you too, Sven.

 I shook his right hand firmly and we exchanged a pre-fight handshake.

(Sven, you have good, straight eyes. .......) And most importantly, he's very polite. ......)

 This is going to be a great match.

 When I was thinking about it.

I'm sure you've had a very difficult time at the academy .......

 I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

"......What?

I'm sorry. ....... I'm not sure if you can call it a "byproduct of soul-dressing" ......? When I hold a person's hand, I can relive what their life has been like so far.

Oh, that's ...... possible?

Oh, ........ For example, the Grandmaster's Academy of Swordsmanship, this is really a place with no stipend. ....... I'm not sure how you could have grown up in such a horrible environment without rotting away.

 I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

He was hyperventilating.

 He was hyperventilating and had large beads of sweat on his forehead.

"This is .......

 I'm not sure if I've been reliving my memories of ......'s Prison of Time?

(If so, I'm a little sorry about that. ......)

 (If so, I'm a little sorry about that: .......) I don't know how many "billions of years" he's experienced, but .......
 I don't know how many "billions of years" he's been through, but judging by his reaction, I'd say he's been through a tremendous amount of pain. .......

(......Oh, no.)

 I should have said no when I was told about my abilities. .......

"Um, ...... Sven, are you okay ......?

 And so, when I approached him with a pale face.

I'm not sure what to say. Don't come here, you ...... 'monster' ......!

 He then jumped off the stage and ran furiously towards the waiting room.

"Yeah, yeah .......

 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

I was left alone on the stage, stunned. ...... What in the world happened? I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea. We will wait for the decision of the Ken-Oh Festival Committee on this matter, so please wait a while!

 The actual commentator said this, and left his seat once.

"......

 I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

...... I knew there was more to Allen-Roddle than that.

"....... Sven's frightened: ....... "I'm sure Sven's frightened, he's been threatened in some way.

"No, maybe Sven was just acting.

What do you mean, ......?

It's simple: ....... I was offered a deal by Allen-Roddle. Allen-Rowdle offered me a 'deal'. He said, "You pay me a lot of money, and I'll give you the win.

"Oh, I see. ......!

 I can't hear what the audience is saying from here, but .......

 I felt that my bad reputation was spreading somehow.

(haha .......) Why did I have to go through all this ......)

 Just when I thought I was going to have a great game, ...... here it is.

 And as I sighed heavily.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting! As a result of the ...... deliberations, Allen-Roddle has been ruled the uncontested winner of the spearhead match!

 That's what the commentator said, announcing my unwinnable match.

 At that moment, the buzz in the hall became even louder.

 Perhaps the ...... audience was not satisfied with the result.

 Then.

"Well, well! Despite the unexpected happenings, let's get back on track and move on to the next spearhead match!

 The live commentator's voice was so energetic that it blew away the buzz in the hall.

I'm sorry.

 After that, the match against Astrology Academy was fierce.

 In the spearhead match, Lilim lost in a fierce battle.
 After the game was back to square one, Ferris managed to pull out a hard-fought victory against a strong opponent in the middle game.



 In the remaining game, the chairman picked up a solid victory.

 As a result.

The winner of the fierce battle in Group A is one of the five academies, Senbi Academy! Please give us a big round of applause!

 We made it through the Group A qualifying round in first place, and successfully advanced to the "Ken-Oh Festival Main Round".
