Chapter 10.2 - Black-and-white princess and soul dress [4] – part 2 (1/2)

Black-and-white princess and soul dress [4] – part 2

(She earnestly listened to what I had to say earlier, and also listened to the opinions of the male students who strongly opposed my participation… Perhaps Leia-sensei is just a little eccentric and might be a really good teacher)

With that in mind, when I sat in my seat, Leia-sensei clapped her hands.

「Everyone listen. I will now convey Allen’s wish to you guys.」

She cleared her throat before continuing.

「Allen said, 『ーIt is unthinkable that I’m being compared to the incompetent likes of them. I don’t mind taking on all three of the incompetent trio in a mock battle right away. I’ll show them the difference in strength between us.』」

「……Haa?」

My head turned blank for an instant.

「Man… As expected of Allen – full of confidence! After all, he is a swordsman personally acknowledged by me!」

Leia-sensei spoke proudly of me and nodded satisfiedly.

「N-No, please wait a minute! I didn’t saー」

Before I could explain,

「Bastard, Allen! You got so cocky, just because we were silent…!」

「Who did you call the incompetent trio…!?」

「A one-vs-three mock battle? If you want to get ganged up on, we will fulfil your wish!」

I was surrounded by the three men.

「C-Calm down, that was Leia-sensei’s selfi-」

When I tried to solve the misunderstanding, a clapping sound loudly resounded as though hindering it.

「Okay, if that’s the case, let’s go to the training ground at once!」

Leia-sensei didn’t give me an opportunity to speak.

(Th-This woman…)

When I glared at Leia-sensei, she expressed the best smile so far and gave me a thumbs up.

What the hell is that? I want to smash it.

■

After that, the students of year 1 class A moved to the Underground Training Area.

Of course, to watch the mock battle between me and the trio.

(To think I would come here two consecutive days straight…)

As I was sighing while thinking about that, one of the trio called out.

「Oi, Allen. For a self-taught like you who graduated from a nameless third-rate academy, I alone am more than enough.」

He pulled out his sword and pointed his chin at me.

He seemed to be saying「You hurry and draw your sword too」.

(Well… whatever)

The sooner this ends, the better.

And if he fights alone here, I can avoid the overwhelmingly disadvantageous match of one-vs-three.

Therefore, I pulled out my sword took the stance – Seigan no Kamae.

「-Here I come.」

「Go ahead.」

The next moment as I slightly nodded.

「ZeryaaaAAAAAAA!」

He rushed straight, while screaming a manly cry.

(Gripping, posture, stepping in – are all at a high level)

As expected of a student of one of the Five Academy, Thousand Blade Academy, is what I’d like to say but…

ーBut I can’t bring myself to.

「Iron Cutting Style – Rust-Off!」

Towards the looming downwards swing, I sidestepped half a body to the left, and scooped up his sluggish right leg with my scabbard.

「Wha!?」

Suddenly, with one leg scooped up, he lost his balance and fell down on his butt.

Then, I pointed the tip of my sword at his neck which was full of openings.

「-The match is over.」

「……」

The match is over.

Since I won in a one-vs-one match, won’t you guys just recognise me already?

To be honest, I don’t want to fight a one-vs-three match.

In the first place, I never wanted such a futile match

While thinking about that, I heard an intense booing from somewhere.

「Oi wait, Allen! That is unfair! You promised a one-vs-three mock battle! This result is invalid, invalid I say! I cancel this with my authority as the president」.

Yes, it was Leia-sensei.

(This person… no, this woman… what kind of an ally is she…?!)

As my eyebrows started twitching in anger, I took a deep breath and held it.

If I get flared up here, I will be acting just as she wants.

In this situation, ignoring or responding to her would be the best outcome.

But never get angry, don’t let her disturb my heart – the best way to deal with it is a smile.

So as I kept fighting with Leia-sensei below the surface,
