Vol 1 Chapter 2 (2/2)
The old man in aloha suddenly shouted This old man, isn’t he a crazy one?
“Noel was it? This old man here seems to be suspicious Shouldn’t we arrest him?”
If a ed person would enter the school, the police would already been notified if it was Takeru’s for down the street can get you reported
Noel unexpectedly let out her expression
“I don’t see any suspicious person Though, he’s not a suspicious person That person is the chief director of this Academia”
“E-eh……”
The old man was called the chief director He folded his arms and nodded several times
After that, he gruh
“Nowadays, when old men’s work piles up, they feel reluctant Then they decide to stop working Vacation they say”
“No I work”
“You will sooner or later Whatever you do, don’t give up old man”
“…This one’s a no good”
“Though well, I really just have free tiht with a 《False Sword》 when your opponent is empty-handed?”
The chief director pointed to Noel with a snap
“B-but the rules and the regu—”
“The rules doesn’t really matter”
He eagerly ht
“Wha-!? That’s not a reason!”
“That’s why, let’s give hi old man after all”
“However chief director”
The chief director’s lips have pouted Whatever this old man does, it’s totally uncute
“Fu~n Noel-kun opposes But it’s fine Since it’s an order from the chief director Because you’re the person who made the call”
While saying that, the chief director pulled out a phone from the chest pocket of his aloha Noel shook her head
“Following the person above Isn’t it in the h if the old man thinks of the manual Which one could it be? Old man, I don’t understand”
While saying those words, Noel’s center was caught Even though Noel attracts attention, can she really grasp the character of the students in the five-digit numbers? Takeru renews his view of the chief director before his eyes
“… I don’t know Very well”
Noel reported while quite displeased
“That’s good then You”
The chief director softly taps the shoulders of Takeru
“Hey, old man Do you think that I can win?”
To the chief director who heard those words, a se of his mouth
“That’s right, that’s right If you win then it will be interesting Very interesting”
Itto his words despite not being expressed
“If that’s the case, then Old man If I ill you do?”
“I’ll grant one wish of yours?”
Takeru was annoyed a little bit
Why? It’s because he said that he’ll grant one wish of his Is hefun of hiht it’s fine to speak about it
The chief director approaches Takeru and whispered to his ear
“I don’t kno you even entered this place however, I’llof yours”
The chief director smiled But within his eyes, were a cold sensation
“Ah So you’re not really a student here You’retoo much facial expressions”
“……So you tricked me?”
“Uh huh The reason is that you’re wearing a different uniform and I only remember seventeen of the”
“…I see”
“After I saw the face you ainst Noel-kun It’s unbelievable right?”
The chief director looked at Takeru’s face, then his mouth opened
“However, despite your intention to win, I don’t knohether you’ll win or not I’m sure you’ll be defeated, this is what this old man thinks That’s hen you win, it can’t be helped that I’ll give you so as a reward Say it What is your desire?”
Desire Desire huh What could it be? Takeru thought
So he really wants to do
He overcame and overcame unreasonable circumstances
Breaking each wall he goes against with
He was not satisfied, there’s nothing in that world that made him desperate
He wanted those kind of things
Takeru re
Theresimple isn’t it?
Takeru glares with his eyes, slowly saying his desire
“If, if I ill you— Will you let me enter to this Academia?”
The chief director was at loss for a second Then he nod
“Very well Only if you win, right?”
“That’s what I want”
“Though it ht be impossible for this old man Noel-kun You’re a splendid superior?”
“Eh? She’s a superior?”
Takeru’s mouth just went to smile
There was too many enjoyment so far
“In this Academia, students are placed in ranks The people around here are not your companions However, if you think you can win, then this old man will be happy”
“I’ve never actually thought of winning –However, there’s only one thing I’m about to say And that’s I’m really fired up”
The surrounding students have leaked out laughter
“Ha What’s with that? That’s impossible”
“He’s unreasonably decided already”
Those voices did not reach Takeru Even if they reached his ears, he will only understood them as just noises
“Then, to the 12th Training Area, I don’t knohere you have come from but, I hope you’ve already prepared if you’re defeated Promise this old man A pinkie swear?”
The chief director presented his little finger
Takeru did not answer The chief director shrug his shoulders off where the bottom of his smile cannot be seen
The chief director had led the Area
It’s center had a huge open area
Under the blue sky, Takeru looked around the dazzling open area
“It looks like an ancient arena Just like a stadium”
A the meadow in the center, was a stone floor that looks like a square chessboard
Must be the ring to fight on The ring can be seen down by the surrounded stadiuether with the students have been seen to walked towards the inside the stadium
Walking next to Takeru, Sakuya says with a nod
“This place is often being used This is where 《False Sword》 are determined which is superior All country participates in this tournament ith brute force”
“I see…”
While talking, the chief director turned his head around While stroking his beard, he asks Takeru
“You, you What is your name?”
“Kisaragi Takeru”
“Fuun Heh Hou…Your name’s like those of Yamato huh Must be from another country where you posses the blood of the Ya a 《False Sword》 e I don’t know You are really mysterious”
The chief director interestingly look at Takeru’s face
“Well, it’s fine now Have you ever trained with a 《False Sword》? Or could it be that you carry a 《False Sword》 somewhere?”
“No I don’t have one neither used one”
“Heh So you haven’t used one……fuun”
The chief director pondered for a bit while looking at Takeru
“I see Then, wait for a bit A bit, a bit”
The chief director raised his hand and a fe and then, she left in a hurry
After that, the instructor returned after a while She approached Takeru Handing him a scabbard
“You use that 《False Sword》 It’s a Tier 1 though Noel-kun uses a Tier 7 one So I’m really sorry with the difference between the ability of those two But if the user of it doesn’t train then isn’t just useless?”
After that, the chief director explained about the 《False Sword》 There were seven 《Regunare》 that sealed off God And then, huunare》 and created the artificial 《False Swords》
“Well, a God gives birth to other God Whatever it is, there’s just differentThat was the h an explanation would be nice Anyway, the way it is used—”
While Takeru was listening attentively, the chief director smiled and waved his hands
“Do you possibly want to hear it fros”
Being passed over her, Sakuya brandished her red scabbard
He then listens to what Sakuya said The original 《Regunare》 had different appearances Those replicas that are made have similar characteristics to them but differs in the details And then, the blade part of the Yaunare》 has already been lost That blade was unable to be replicated That’s why, Yamato’s 《False Swords》 are scabbard types
“Say Sakuya What should I do?”
“You will have a link with the 《False Shen you hold it in your hand Right Then a short prayer is done was it? You already have it, don’t you kno to do it?”
With that said, Takeru held the scabbard and closed his eyes
There were so that talks inside his head It washe should do, is to envision it in his mind
“That’s right After that, the 《False Sword》 should become one with you Then, your hand Extend your hand It is now part of you You have now established the link”
With that said, he recognizes that it was already part of himself
He can sense that the 《False Sword》 is connected to his hand
He can feel the 《False Sword》 in the blood the flows in his body until—
His heart have pounded wildly He can feel that the 《False Sword》 was invading him
It was a strange power The power of the 《False Sword》 that flows to Takeru was recognized
And when he remembered those, the scabbard cracked
“……!?”
Crack, crack, crack Crackle The cracks have becoer and spread further
Then, a strong noise was heard
The 《False Sword》 held by Takeru broke in the middle
Sakuya who saw that shouted
“Wha-what!? How in the!? Is this one a defective one!?”
Stroking his beard, the chief director muttered
“I’m surprised This is the first time It should be impossible but whatever……Ittwo no, three of them here?”
Listening to the words of the chief director, the feht the 《False Sword》 replied “Y-yes” in a hurry
After a while, the female instructor returned with the scabbards
“Sorry to keep you waiting”
Handing Takeru one of the that pours in his blood flow
And then, it broke
The second one broke Then he hold the third one
Everyone around thelances
They felt uneasy What will happen if he pour power to the third one
However, the third 《False Sword》 sadly broke again
Sakuya, Noel, the female instructor, the of the students, and the rest of the people there have ridiculously looked at Takeru
Only the chief director had happy look in his eyes
Sakuya having a hard expression said
“…How?”
“This is quite iht”
He heard the students in the stadium let out voices of despise in the wind
“What power…”
“If someone like him started to enter here in Academia…His qualifications are out of the question”
Takeru asks Sakuya with a pale face
“……Sakuya Isn’t this, really bad?”
“Bad is not even a question…Ten thousand people holes up and defending a castle then attacking with a wooden pole is bad It’s like getting consecutively attacked by a thousand times”
“That much?”
“Yeah Apart fro time Absolutely impossible”
No matter how much she’s aware of how hopeless the situation is, Sakuya speaks with a low voice And with a look of regret To Sakuya’s thin neck, sweat drops can be seen
Then, Sakuya grumbled
“…Abstain now Takeru You should give up”
“No way in hell”
With that said, Sakuya raised her voice
“I told you to give up!”
Takeru lowers his voice, whispering to Sakuya
“There’s no need to be worried about It’s fine It’s kinda hard for me to talk with you with the people here”
Sakuya strongly clenched her fist and shouted
“Isn’t that different!?”
Opening her mouth wide, she scowled at Takeru
“That’s not it I’m worried about your body! Don’t you understand idiot!?”
Says Sakuya as her face griround
“O-oh…?”
Takeru stared at her amazed
This fellow is really a good person
“Certainly, it would really be troubleso But, but Su Takeru was my responsibility That’s why I’ll protect you Whatever happens, if so ever happens I, I’ll—”
She had a tearful look She only just o this far? Takeru failed to understand
“Takeru Give up You’re definitely going to lose If Noel hits you, not even a piece of your human flesh will remain And also, Noel wields a Tier 7 《False Sword》”
“That Tier 7 so What is that?”
“Most hu Tier 7 are only used by high ranking people Agile swords surpassing that of speed of sound and light They already attacked the h with that physical ability of yours—”
Starting fro the seventh rank Then his opponent is a strong one positioning at seventh rank That was Noel
Sakuya went closer She heard Takeru’s reply with a low voice
“Heh Absolutely impossible Absolutely can’t win It’s definitely usesless, is that it?”
“That’s right There’s no chance of winning”
“Even if you say that, after all this time That’s why—-”
“Takeru? Why are you smili—”
“That’s why, it can’t be helped that I’ it I’m really sorry I only caused you troubles However, I’ forward to this But, I don’t want to trouble you much further So be at ease and believe on me”
“Tha-! That’s! I’!”
Takeru holds Sakuya’s hand above the stone stage He felt a hard sensation with his feet
He looked around froe He can see the faces of the students in the stage
He thought it ide
The whole place was really wide further spread in this world In his forh this is not his first ti of his heart
Above the ring, Noel already stood there
Noel’s emerald eyes stared in wonder
“It’s quite surprising You’re really fighting with your own flesh?”
“Ah I accepted that as a challenge”
Can’t you hear it? The students here in the stage already became noisy
“…Are you serious?”
“Doesn’t he understand his own situation?”
Such words were said by them
Noel in front asks without any hint of emotion
“Are you expecting that I’ll go easy on you?”
“No way”
“I see, I’lad Even if I went easy, it can’t be helped that I always end up killing Between the power of you and me, the difference is endless For example, you’re a piece of snow Even if treated delicately, you’ll end upYou cannot be fixed Do you understood that?”
“I understand what you think However, whether if that’s the truth it’s incoht?”
“You’re heads seems to be a bitdown More or less like that
Takeru was silent His chin was stimulated
“People who cannot use 《Regunare》cannot be a student Those are school regulations Also, you’re so more than a human that should live in the world below My Tier 7 sword 《Bolt Gang》 in for me”
“I see I completely understand what you mean Then I really wish to see if it’s true”
“…Huh? I don’t understand what you’re saying”
“Back inpower that can do anything But I wasn’t able to be serious on using it Since I wasn’t able to use it”
He was certain that if he use it, he would immediately labeled as a monster
“This Academia’s students, almost everyone Must be a race of people ithout even being serious That should be natural to the twenty thousand people here in this upper world You are a person with a very narro Do you wanna knohy?”
Hearing Takeru, Noel see fifty percent of her power against this unknown h Takeru wasn’t able to pull out 01 of his power
“That’s nice I want you to tell me”
A smile appeared in Takeru while Sakuya cheers on his back
“Takeru! Don’t stop! That’s why–Don’t die! Definitely! A-also without injuries!………………And then……and then, if possible, win”
“In other words, I should ithout any injuries? That’s quite the demand Sakuya have”
Noel looks with cold eyes
“Do you understand your current situation? Such reckless re childish delusions now”
“If that’s the case, let’s test which delusion is trying?”
“Without a 《False Sword》, you think you’ll win? That doesn’t exist in the manual You’re a pitiful man”
Right there,
“Hey It will end in an instant!”
“Everyone cannot wait for more than one second, start already?”
“Then, I’ll bet less than one second”
“Me too! Me too!”
The students in the stadium already started to talk irresponsibly
Takeru slowly steps towards the stone stage
There’s a lovely girl with twintails in his front However, it is clearly evident that she has power despite her appearance
“Then let’s start How about we start with the old coin toss? Is that fine?”
Carrying that huge 《False Sword》, Noel proposes
“I understand”
Noel pulls out a coin fro it with her thumb
On the back of Takeru, Sakuya cheers on hie
“Takeru! Do your best!”
In the blue sky, a silver coin flies high and spinning
Few seconds left before it falls They were anxiously waiting for those few seconds The moment it falls, they’ll start
Would I be defeated in a blink of an eye? That hat Takeru thought Despite hi excited, he was still cautious
If he lose this duel, he would regret that Sakuya will take responsibility
Perhaps, those last words Sakuya said to push Takeru’s back 『Don’t worry about me』 must be her will
That’s why, he must not be defeated
—-clang
It was the sound of the coin that fell down Noel have leaped forward
The coin bounces It was a faster sound for the second time and Noel have already approached Takeru before his eye’s
Too fast That never happened to him back in japan
Takeru stepped back to evade He felt the presence of the tip of her sword
The wind created by her sas late Takeru’s hair strongly shook
Noel’s eyes opened wide
“…I’m surprised Could it be, you avoided it?”
Taking a deep breath, she look at Takeru’s face
She was truly ht
“To be able to evade without a 《False Sword》 Even by chance, that’s impossible However, that may be the only extent you can boast—but”
There was no second chance She says as Noel assaults Takeru
However, Takeru still evaded it
“Wha-! N-no way Are you kidding me?”
While she cursed in surprised, Noel continued to attack with her 《False Sword》
Froht, and to the left, she continued to attack
But, not even one of them hit
Even though she was attacking from all direction like a violent storm
The students unanimously shouted
“H-hey! What’s with that!?”
“His opponent wields a 《False Sword》 you know! And a Tier 7 on top of that! I can’t believe it!”
They were facing one another But apart froht they have is that Noel 《False Sword》 continues to attack
“What is this!? It’s an unbelievable experience!
This is so impossible…!”
At Takeru’s back was Sakuya’s voice Whether it was desperate, it was nothing but a cheerful voice
“That’s right! Go!”
Takeru showed his hand and replied 「Oh!」 with composure
“Kuh! Was it really a chance this entire time…!? No It can’t be Even if I still continue, this is inevitable…!”
Noel’s swordsmanshi+p became a little bit dull because of her surprise It was taken advantage of
Within a blink, Takeru reaches Noel’s bosoms Noel expression was of that shocked
“Wha-…!?”
Takeru fired his palm and was thrust to Noel’s abdomen
However, before it got reach Noel- There was the sensation of soft and flabbiness A mysterious sensation enveloped Takeru’s hand
——What is this!?
Noel screamed as she jumped back
“Wha-!? Ba, bare-handedly!? I, I don’t understand! Just now! There was a high amount of Ether!”
“Hey, as that? There was a strange sensation there”
“Moreover, this guy doesn’t realize the Ether Barrier either!”
“What’s with that Ether Barrier thingy…”
“Book of 《False Swords》 It’s written in chapter 1, page 23 on the tenth line—Though telling you is better To use a 《False Sword》, Ether is necessary With it, we can control the 《False Swords》 It’s the power that distorts the reasoning in this world”
“Ah”
“And then, 《Regunare》 or even with a 《False Sword》, you use Ether as a barrier to prevent enemy’s attacks That is, the Ether Barrier”
“……I see So can you always feel the expansion of the barrier?”
“Being cornered like this by an amateur…Just like that…!”
Voices can be heard from the students in the stadium
“Is that rant of Yamato!?”
“I-I’ easy on him…”
Sakuya doing side glances made her mouth do a smile And she shouts
“That’s right That’s right! I don’t understand but Takeru you’re so cool! Get her!”
Was that a voice of response? Noel stares at Takeru
“Well then, let me show you the true power of the 《False Sword》…!”
Noel shouts and suddenly, winds have appeared
Her twintails danced in a violent manner
“Did you know? These ra winds of hell were called old wind? These winds have truly existed for a very long time…”
Takeru’s eyes partly closed due to the strong wind
Her sword didn’t shake as if the winds obey the will of Noel
The winds have twine around obstructing the ether with it was a violent stab attack by Noel
“…Is shethe winds?”
The winds are obstructing the ainst the flow of nature
“Have you not noticed? There are respective attributes in the 《Regunares》 And then, those imitations called 《False Sword》 have inherited it!”
Her attacks can still be evaded However, the stone floor changes it’s shape with the aftereffect of Noel’s slash
“Therefore, this 《False Sword》’s attribute is wind! With this wind, lie down to the ground!”
Noel have sliced down from the above Her 《False Sword》 have violently crushedthe stone floor Little bits of the broken stone floor flew up
Takeru have seen a fragment of it
“Kuh!”
It was a moment of chance
Her 《False Sword》 was already approaching when opened his eyes
One centimeter before his eyes
“Uwooooooooh!?”
Identical with the speed of the sword, Takeru fell down
He looked up and evaded it then rolled backwards
“Th-, that was a close one…”
“Are you really a human!?”
“Pretty ht-footed and a little bit stronger”
“A little bit!? You’re already exceeded the upper limits and you call it 『Just a little bit』 !?”
“Uh, even if you say that…”
“You are completely! Completely unbelievable!”
After she shouted, Noel’s twintails fluttered along the old winds She then silently said
“Really…Can’t you be a bit more serious on this?”
Her mouth, it smiled
If you believe the words of Noel, there’s still soem on it
Takeru who listened to her heard the gritting of teeth
What’s with that?
What’s with this?
This is just nothing but excitement
He can’t suppress the throbbing of his heart The blood in his body is boiling
While Takeru was being blown by the raging old winds, he patiently waited
While in contrast to Takeru’s, the stadium jeered
“Noel! Do so about that man with a cap already!”
“Hi 《False Sword》 is already an eyesore”
“That’s right, that’s right!”
Sakuya then says to the people at the stadium
“Fuun I don’t want to ad!”
Within this annoying surroundings, Takeru stared at the existence in front of him
The pressure he gets from Noel increased explosively
“Haaa…”
The twintails girl held her sword horizontally Sliding her hand to the back of the blade It’s blade then covered by a color It was yellow Just like gold The surrounding atmosphere has trembled Noel’s body seems to have bended
“Sword Essence——Release——!”
Froe noise echoed as if it was cracking the world
There was translucent co
