Chapter 30.2 - Recruitment Period and Strange Group [3] – part 2 (2/2)

In terms of simple skills, she was definitely better.

However – I still have that thing.

That deadly slash that tore through the prison of time and defeated Dodriel’s〈Shadow Ruler〉…!

「Fifth Sword – World Judgement!」

The slash that can cut apart space, the world,

「Wow, an amazing slash…!」

She nimbly dodged with time to spare.

「……!?」

「But… Doesn’t it take a little too much time to swing? If you can’t hit, then it’s no big deal.」

Just by witnessing it once, she saw through the weakness of World Judgement.

As she says, World Judgement’s power is tremendous, but… there was a weakness, the skill was slightly slow.

(……I am speechless.)

Her swordsmanship was so sharpened that I was at a loss of words to praise the president.

「Fufu, come, Allen-kun?」she said with a gentle smile, as if inviting a small child.

「U-UOOOOO…!」

Then I attacked her over and over again.

However, it was avoided, parried, warded off – none of them caught the president.(i have a feeling commenters are gonna be like but he trained for so long only to get owned like this wah wah wah)

The swordsmanship that I’ve been polishing up to this point was ineffective against her..

The pinnacle of swordsmanship – I was vividly shown the definition of『the best of skill』.

I couldn’t help it – it was so much fun.

(Fu, haha, hahahaha…!)

It was fun to know that I am still immature.

It was fun to swing the sword freely with all my strength.

It was fun to fight against an opponent whom I couldn’t cut, try as I may.

(Aa, this is truly fun… Truly – So much fun!)

At that moment.

Only for a brief moment – tremendous power surged through my body.

「Raa!」

「…Eh?」

The next moment.

A terrific slash that even blew my mind, cut through the world.

Her sword coincidentally tried to ward it off but – it couldn’t bear the monstrous power, and snapped in half.

「「…!?」」

The president and I took in a breath at the same time.

An attack which boasts an astounding power – a simple cross cut.

(F-For just a moment there, did that guy come out…?)

I put my hand on my chest, but I didn’t feel the soul being strung up like when holding a spirit sword.

(W-Was it my imagination…?)

When I raised my head – there was the figure of the president who stood in a daze.

「Umm… what should we do?」

Personally, I’d like her to get a new sword and face off against me again…

「……」

Then she glared at me for a moment and shook her head quietly.

「That is impossible… I give up…」

Immediately following,

「Contestant Sie-Arcstria, withdrawing! So the winner is Allen-Rodore!」

The referee announced the outcome, and the entire venue became noisy.

「Wha-wha-wha-what is this!? To think Allen-Rodore was concealing this much power!? Uproarious! Dark Horse! Surprise Victory! The head of the student council, Sie-Arcstria was defeateeeeeed!?!」

In response to the accent of the commentary on the situation, the whole venue was very excited.

In the end, the club budget war ended with the result of the;

1st-place Student Council Executives, the 2nd-place Swing Club, and the 3rd-place Judo Club.

A lot of applause was sent from senpais and classmates to us, who brilliantly placed in 2nd-place of the club budget war in the first year of the club’s founding.

I, who never had the experience of being blessed by everyone like this, was honestly quite happy.

(However, there is one thing that bothers me…)

The student council president who was defeated by me just a while ago is staring at me with a sullen expression.

(Haa… I’m begging you, please don’t bring up something troublesome…)

While sighing in my heart – I pretended not to notice the president’s sharp gaze.
