CHAPTER 31 – CHARLOTTE VS ANNA

An extreme seed position, where Laura Edmonds could only partic.i.p.ate during the finals.

Because of that, the semi-finals that should have been twice, it became only once.

Anna won up to the semi-finals.

And the opponent that she collides to is, of course, Charlotte.

Both of them, defeated their opponents in a few seconds.

Because of that, the tournament had advanced with a surprising pace.

And both of them wasn’t showing their serious.

Especially Charlotte, she only hits them with Arrows of Light, or pus.h.i.+ng the opponent outside the ring using gusts of winds, she had only fought using basic magic.

But, the techniques that she learned after secluding in the mountains, shouldn’t be as simple like that.

In the first place, she was flying when she appeared in the arena.

If she does that in the match, she literally would not be able to reach her.

「Thinking about it, it is the first time that I would fight with Anna-san」

Charlotte’s face when I came up to the ring, still had a very composed smile.

I want to break that at least.

「That is because Charlotte is always training by herself」

「I see, that is true. Well then, this is a good opportunity, so please let me see the sharpness of the sword coming from a first-cla.s.s swordsman. The other swordsmen that I fought today, they have did not have any crisp」

「I might be so crispy, that your teeth would break」

「Oh, I am looking forward to that」

The drums signaling the start of the match was. .h.i.t.

Anna waits for how Charlotte would comeーーor not.

In the first place, it is a disadvantage for a warrior to take a distance from a magician.

Using their physical strength they would close the distance, attack, attack, and attack, and not let their opponent a chance to activate their magic.

I learned from the cla.s.s that that is the basic fighting against a magician.

But, it wouldn’t have an effect to Charlotte right now.

「You are unexpectedly fast huh. I am surprised. I was really planning to end it in an instant with a counterattack though」

My sword was stopped with bare hands. And even with one hand.

Most probably, she enveloped the palm of her hand with defense magic, and received the weight of the slash using muscle strengthening magic.

But, activating two magic at the same time should use concentration.

Anna charged at the same time with the start of the match.

I shouldn’t have let her any chance to concentrate.

No, it’s more of a shock that she had seen through my blade.

Up until now, other than the instructors and Laura, no one had been able to keep up with it.

「Anna-san. You should not be absent-minded during a fight you know」

Charlotte’s open hand, she touches her stomach.

Anna instinctively, changed her poor magic powers from muscle strengthening magic to defense magic, and protected her stomach.

And as if that was awaited, an explosion.

She was blown backwards with the impact as if her organs have turned.

In the situation where she lost her sense of direction, even so, Anna barely didn’t let go of her sword.

And the groundーーto the direction where she thinks it wasーーshe stabs using her blade, and somehow stopped.

When she puts down her feet, that was the edge of the ring.

She was almost out.
