189 XI. THE Cavalrys strongest decision is to hoke up the hanky-p (1/2)

It's about a month after the Duke's Council, and it's the day of the Myrddin Knights' greatest battle.

The rules are simple. You can use any weapon, magic, or skill at your disposal and you can even kill your opponent.

No excuses....slugfest.

I'm able to do this, of course, because I made a few changes to the arena instead of being able to get help from the master.

It's good that I turned it into a dungeon, but the problem is that I'm only using magic stones equivalent to a normal dragon, so my magic power is limited.

That's why I decided to have a knight test the performance of the dungeon, and this project is going to work.

I hope it's successful: ...... I'm worried about having enough magic power.

And today's main attraction, the knights, are having a great time at the lottery.

It's been almost two years since the founding of the Order. It's been two years since the order was founded.

There were barely one hundred at the last examination, not enough for a knight of the house of princes.

The first test was too hard. That plus Bernhardt's, so we've never had more than double-digit recruits in a month.

no wonder they're the greatest knights in the world.

but they're strong enough to be Class A adventurers.

it looks like the results of the lottery are in.

It looks like he's happy and sad to see his group.

Today's schedule is the preliminary tournament in the morning. It's the final tournament in the afternoon.

Each of the twenty-five players will fight in a scramble, and the last three standing, twelve players in total, will get a chance to participate in the tournament.

The other two are seeded.

The seeds were drawn by lot between Bernhardt, Alma, and Hermann, and the winner was Bernhardt and Hermann.

Those three are exceptional, so no one complains about the seedings.

Most of them will just feel lucky that their odds of qualifying are reduced.

You'll be rewarded for just getting to the tournament.

”Well, now that we're grouped, is it time?

And I'm in a special seat in the arena watching with Shelly, Belle, Elsie and Lou .

Leena and José will be downstairs all day to tend to some minor injuries that the dungeon didn't heal.

And Frank has been asked to come downstairs for an event.

I really wanted Leena and the others to have some fun, and I wanted to set it up so that I could heal all the wounds ...... but doing that would deplete my magic power quickly .

''I think it's about time . Ah, the first group has come in.

After the lottery was over, the men entered the arena as if they were ready to go.

Hahaha. Everyone is too nervous!

I gazed at the faces of the knights who were being laughed at by Lou, and their expressions were definitely strained .

''Well, if we start and move our bodies, the tension will ease . For that matter, it's boring to just watch, so let's try to predict who will win out of these guys.''

'Okay . The one who seems to be able to win out of all this is ...... that full-body armor Rob with the axe?　In terms of strength alone, you're second only to Mr. Bernhardt in the Order. And of course, the deputy commander, Claude, is the most experienced and competent.

I lightly suggested it, and Shelly pointed to it and gave me a commentary on it, calling my name .

You're my knight and you know more about knights than I do. ...... Well, you've had plenty of time to interact with the knights while you've been challenging the dungeon.

It's like you've been challenging dungeons for the past month.

”Let's see how the first game pans out.

And meanwhile, we're ready to start fighting.

I'll be the one to give the signal to begin.

Begin!

As soon as my voice rang out, the men started to move in unison.

'It's like a battlefield.'

They were slashing each other's swords, and blood was flying, it was a real battlefield.

”Sir, are you going to enjoy seeing this?

People who come to the arena like this sort of thing.

I heard that even in the arena of the imperial city, slaves kill each other.

Compared to that, it's harder to feel sick when you know you won't die.

''Well, I'm usually afraid of accidents, so I don't allow anyone but demons to be killed.

Would you be okay with a game like that once a week?

It would take an awful long time to get magic from a regular customer, so we'll have to leave that much time between them.

''That's natural. You're on the edge with our magical power, right?

That's right. And it's limited to healing only major wounds, right?

Well, you know . I can't heal more than two dozen people over and over unless I limit myself to fatal wounds.

Just hold them back long enough for Leena and the others to heal, and you'll save a lot of magic power to use.

Oh, that Robb that Shelly was talking about killed five people at once!

We were talking about the specs of the arena, and Lou shouted about the fight, completely ignoring it.

No, in this place, Lou was right.

We should have a look at our knights' heroics.

You're right. We're down to two.

There are five men standing in the arena now.

Robb and the Lieutenant Commander are unharmed, the others are only slightly wounded.

There. I told you.

Oh, I'm holding Robb down by himself.

While Sherry was bragging about it, a knight was engaged in a fierce battle with Rob .

How could he move so much with that wound? .......

Who is that man who is avoiding Rob's attacks, but returning his attacks firmly?

'What?　Oh, by the way, ...... That guy has been growing rapidly lately, Mick . I think it's only been about three months since he joined the team. He's gotten that strong~

Seriously. Shelly, you know how many new people have joined.

That's more surprising to me than what Mick did.

It's amazing for such a short period of time. Oh, there's one more person left in the meantime.

Rob and Mick were fighting a fierce battle, and their opponent, the XO, beat them both.

Yeah. That's settled.

Okay, recover all of them.

He saw that the vice-captain had killed the last man and made a recovery.

Sometimes it's important to note that this isn't resuscitation.

Downed knights are stopped in time before they die, keeping them alive until the match is over.

Then at the end of the match you heal the wound and move forward in time.

There's a lot to do and this one will use more magic, but it's many times better than resuscitation.

”Feng ...... have you brought everyone to life?

Yeah. We're all up.

I looked around the arena, and everyone seemed to be conscious.

Those who still had wounds were being healed by Leena and the others.

That's good to hear. But I'm going to have to use my magic three more times. I'm going to have to get Sherry and the others to join us at lunch.

I don't need to heal a large number of people for the afternoon tournament, so I shouldn't need that much magic.

Fine.

Copy that.

Okay, the second group is coming in. What do you expect next?

First of all, of course Alma: ...... That woman is strong.
