Chapter 51 Hit The Feather (1/2)
Yuuki wore his armor while listening to Ayako's explanation about jousting.
”Yuuki, you need to remember that the match of jousting is being decided by 3 full points.” Ayako started her explanation.
Yuuki nodded, ”That means, there are 3 partial points every 1 full point?”
Ayako nodded, ”That's right, how do you know?”
”Well, I know some general ideas about it,” Yuuki said.
”I'll explain next there are many ways to score a point from your opponent and each one has different points,” Yuuki nodded, ”If you hit the body and arms or your opponent you'll get 2 partial points.”
Yuuki didn't say anything and kept listening, ”If you destroy the lance or make them fall from their horse you'll get one full point. Lastly, if you hit the feather in the head of your opponent, you'll instantly win against him.”
Yuuki nodded and understood the rules of this sport. He took his lance and tried to practice it for a while. It was his first time holding a lance. The total length of this lance was Total be 10 ft. Even though it was quite long but very light.
Yuuki thrust his lance several times, he felt quite comfortable with it.
”Are you sure you can win?” Akane asked him worriedly.
”Hmm, I'm not sure,” Yuuki didn't want to give her false promise.
”Then, why are you asking him for a duel?” Akane didn't understand him.
Yuuki smiled, ”isn't it because of you?” He wanted to flirt with her until someone pulled his ears.
”Let's go, your match will begin!” Ayako pulled his ears and brought him to the arena.
”Ah! It hurts Ayako-chan, please be gentle!” Yuuki tried to act as pitiful as possible.
Ayako snorted and kept pulling his ears.
Akane was still there and blushed, and she didn't expect someone to flirt with her, after all, a lot of people said she was a tomboy and wasn't a girl at all.
'No! I don't have time to think about it, I need to watch his duel!' Akane, though, ran toward the arena.
Yuuki had realized the girl in front of him was Akane Ryuuzouji. She was one of the heroines in the 'Walkure Romanze'. She was the epitome of Yamato Nadeshiko and he had some interest with her but he needed to finish his duel first.

Yuuki was in the arena and he saw Mr. Runner up there with his smug expression.
”Hoo, I've got to praise you for not running away,” he snickered.
”Don't say nonsense, let's just begin the match, you're like a sissy talking so much,” Yuuki mocked.
”Grrr, let's go! Let's start the match!!” He walked toward the arena and rode his horse.
Yuuki walked toward his horse and rode it too.
”Do you have a plan to beat him?” Ayako asked.
”Hmm, let's test the water first, I don't know how strong he is,” Yuuki said.
Ayako nodded at him, Akane walked toward him and told him.
