Chapter 177: Ability of a True Ace

TL: Chuck

ED: NB

“Is…… Is it over?” (Arnold)

“Yes, it has already finished” (Silva)

Not only Arnold, but also everyone else in the surroundings had a blank look on their face after hearing from Silva that the second round had reached its conclusion

“Wha, what are you saying?! Rather, ere still fighting even though the match had already been decided?!” (Arnold)

“Yes, that is the case” (Silva)

“Th, then why didn’t you stop it earlier!” (Arnold)

Arnold’s shouts were only natural If what Silva had said was true, then the ht as desperately as they did before

“Regarding that matter, I naturally tried to make the announcement when the duel had been decided, but I was stopped by a certain person” (Silva)

“A-A certain person?” (Arnold)

As Silva chuckled quietly and let out a smile, he said-

“Naturally, it was so side” (Silva)

“R-Right! Just who is that winner?!” (Arnold)

The gazes of the four people simultaneously turned to look at Silva’s mouth

“Well, if you look over there, then everything should become clear” (Silva)

After saying that, Silva gestured towards a large iceberg

“Eh……ah……an iceberg?” (Muir)

“D-Did there used to be an iceberg over there before?” (Arnold)

After following Arnold, Muir also raised her voice in surprise Though her consciousness had been faint only a fewinformation, she was currently on full alert

“I-I didn’t notice it all all…… When did an iceberg like that……” (Herbreed)

“Eo noticed just now, too” (Eonis)

Since the two of therossed in the battle, they failed to notice the appearance of the iceberg

“Look veeery well at the center of the iceberg” (Silva)

At Silva’s words, everyone’s eyes strained to see the inside of the iceberg

“……Nn? Is so?” (Arnold)

At Arnold’s words, Herbreed and Eonis seean to run toward the iceberg

“Ah, oi!” (Arnold)

“Eo-chan!” (Muir)

Silva then said to the two left behind,

“Well then, let’s get going as well” (Silva)

Surprised as well, the two tried to move their body so as to follow after them But as expected, Muir and Arnold, who had reached their limits could not move

“Muuess it can’t be helped” (Silva)

As Silva waved his hand towards the ground, a black sradually took form

And that form was, no matter how one looked at it, a cycle rickshaw One by one, Silva loaded thenored the tere duic, he said-

“Well then, shall we go?” (Silva)

In that state they headed towards the iceberg

“Shublarz-sama?!” (Herbreed & Eonis)

Upon seeing the iceberg, Herbreed and Eonis screa was Shublarz, as not

As Arnold and co arrived, they froze, as though they forgot how to blink

“Hou, looks like you’ve moved up in the world, my idiot disciples” (Rarashi+k)

A rather displeased-sounding voice was directed at the two sitting in the rickshaw as they arrived When they looked towards the source of the voice, they saw Rarashi+k lazily drinking sake

“shi+-shi+shou?!” (Arnold)

Hearing Arnold’s voice, Rarashi+k directed a sharp glare towards hi Arnold to shrink from the pressure

“……Maa, although I didn’t think you’d win in the first place, couldn’t you have fought much better than that? Aahh?” (Rarashi+k)

Rarashi+k said with a displeased expression, most probably because the pair’s battles had failed to live up to her expectations

“For whose sake did you think I had the two of you participate together in this duel? Although you ed to team up in the end, do it faster next ti in combat experience, didn’t I teach you countless tiether to make up for it?!” (Rarashi+k)

Arnold and Muir could not retort and fell quiet at Rarashi+k’s sudden lecture It was because they themselves knew that what Rarashi+k said was true Particularly Muir, who had been focused on fighting by herself, the thought of joining forces had not crossed her mind at all

As a result, when she got into a tough spot, Arnold had to juether sooner, they would’ve had ht the enemy

Falling prey to her desires and thinking that she had wanted to take down Eonis on her own had been Muir’s ht one-on-one for a while as well

However, after battling for a while, he had realized the reason why Rarashi+k had Muir participate in the battle together with him, and had hastily headed towards Muir’s location

“……Haa, well did the two of you at least learn a bit fro your opponent is natural, but work harder in trying to keep proper track of the situation around you If you just keep on rushi+ng head-on at whatever is in front of you, your groill stop there” (Rarashi+k)

“Y-yes So, sorry for that……” (Muir)

Muir spoke, clearly beco depressed as she dropped her shoulders

“Arnold as well, I atching you through Yuki-chan, but you shouldn’t just rely on pure strength; learn to beto predict your opponent’s next ly will be the next step” (Rarashi+k)

“I-I understand!” (Arnold)

Having been firh

“U her now?” (Silva)

Hearing Silva’s words, Rarashi+k promptly responded,

“Ooh, right Well, with this, it’s our victory, then?” (Rarashi+k)

“Yes, that is the case Well then…” (Silva)

Silva then inhaled deeply,

“The second round goes to the Gabranth!” (Silva)

Hearing the announceers

CRACK CRACK CRACK

Cracks suddenly appeared on the iceberg, which began to crumble apart from the top

“Shublarz-sama!” (Herbreed)

As the iceberg was breaking apart, nothing was supporting Shublarz any longer, and she started falling to the ground Herbreed

“……Uu” (Shublarz)

And although Shublarz had been in the iceberg for a while, strangely enough, her body did not lose heat If you touched her body, you could definitely feel her body temperature normally

“Shublarz-sama?” (Herbreed)

Herbreed wasn’t sure if Shublarz had heard his words or not, but whatever the case, Shublarz slowly opened her eyes

Then, s, she said with a heavy voice,

“……I lost, didn’t I……” (Shublarz)

“Shublarz-sama……” (Herbreed)

“Is your body…alright?” (Eonis)

“……Ara, Eonis? You’re not wearing your eyemask?” (Shublarz)

“Yeah, a lot of things happened” (Eonis)

“Is that so, but first, let “ (Shublarz)

Shublarz then lowered her head towards the pair

“I apologise for not being able to win” (Shublarz)

“Th-that’s too much! Please raise your head!” (Herbreed)

“That’s right” (Eonis)

Having their superior lower her head to theize so suddenly, the two of them became flustered, unsure of how to react

“No, although I fought until I became beat up like this, I still couldn’t win That’s why, I am truly, very sorry” (Shublarz)

“Such a thing…… Rather, for not coise” (Herbreed)

“Sorry” (Eonis)

Shublarz shtly and shook her head

“No, but I am the reason we lost this match Thus, I want the two of you to properly accept y Don’t make me embarrass myself any further, please?” (Shublarz)
