Chapter 84 (2/2)

With that, it was decided.

General – Doug, Vice – Gorms

And then…

“Guess that makes me the Vanguard!” agreed Fii as she flexed her bicep. Well, whatever pa.s.sed for her bicep at least.

Typically, the position of Vanguard was an important one, mainly used to secure an early win. With such an important role, Fii was suddenly really fired up.

“Yeah… See, if we put you in the middle, it’ll just screw up the atmosphere, so we can only put you at the front.”

The real reason was revealed.

“What the heck! What do you mean!”

“If you have any complaints, then show us what you’re made of in the match.”

“Muu! Of course I will!”

There was another reason why Fii was so enthused.

Her opponent was Luca.

“That guy made fun of Doug! If I don’t greet his head with my sword, I won’t be able to sleep properly!”

Despite what the rest of her team thought, Fii was actually seriously angry, for her at least.

Even with his position as her lackey, Doug was still Fii’s friend. As for whether her strange feelings of friends.h.i.+p for him were due to her upbringing as royalty or simply a quirk of her own, however, was unknown. Perhaps these were even the feelings one would have for their new pet dog.

“I don’t mind,” said a worried Doug.

“Well I do,” replied Fii.

“But Luca is still rather strong.”

“Don’t worry, Doug. Just focus on your own match. You’re fighting the strongest guy, right? I’ll try my best too,” she replied pa.s.sionately.

Unfortunately, his worries went unnoticed.

And that was how their preparations were carried out.

The Vanguards were Fii and Luca. Fii of course was determined to devastate him with her victory.

The Seconds were Slad and Jerid.

The Mains were Remié and Kerio.

Despite Fii’s enthusiasm, Gorms was realistically hoping for a victory from either Slad or Remié.

In the Vice match were Gorms and Rizil.

Their glaring from earlier had already determined their moods.

Finally, the Generals match was between Doug and Percil.
