195 # 184 Freetia Knights Training Match ②.txt (1/2)

Game 3

The opponent was a slender twin-sword user next to Princess Sarah. He will definitely be strong.

He steps forward and says his name.

''I'm Brass, captain of the second squadron of the Fretia Kingsguard. Now let's play the game.

Aeon against.

'This is Aeon of Leapling. I'm going to do everything in my power to fight you.

Both of them have twin swords as their weapons and are both speedy and intelligent. If so, what decides the outcome of the match will be the number of draws and the depth of tactics.

They both hold their weapons at the ready. Then Ion held up a dagger.

I can understand Ion's tactics. How will my opponent come to me?

The third game begins!

Huh!

They close the distance between them as soon as they start, and then cut each other.

In the case of the one-handed sword, the dagger has the advantage of power and spacing, whereas the dagger has the advantage of small speed.

In other words, Brass will attack while keeping AEON out of his pocket.

In contrast, Ion will advance forward to enter the pocket while dealing with Brass's slashes. So, at first glance, it looks like AEON is attacking and Brass is defending.

But that's not the case. Ion wants to pack the edge of the field somehow, but it's being dealt with in plenty of time.

It's completely inviting, but Ion seems to have decided to take advantage of it.

Aeon unleashes a thrust with his dagger that he can't reach.

'Ice Blade!

The dagger became a sword of ice and the blade extended, and the thrust snatched Brass's cheek.

But Brass was quick to deal with it. He flicks the ice sword away. Aeon quickly takes the distance, draws the twin swords at his waist and uses a martial art.

''Double Splash!''

At first glance, it looked like a reckless attack, but two ice swords were attacking from behind Brass.

Aeon had thrown the ice swords before they were played. Brass then flicked off the ice swords that he threw.

If it was thrown by Aeon, it would be able to receive the effects of the throwing maneuver.

A continuous technique martial arts from the front, two ice swords flying from behind. It's an attack that would normally be impossible to deal with.

''Acceleration!''

The moment the magic circle is seen on Brass's sword, Brass's movements change dramatically. With a speed that even leaves an afterimage, he flicks the ice sword behind him to stab the ground, making it unusable.

He also catches all of Ion's double splashes and flicks the twin swords away.

''Dual Edge!''

'What?　Ice Blade!

Against Brass's dual edge, Ion uses the ice blade on his arm, barely guarding it.

'Great tactics and reflexes. If it wasn't for the space-time magic, you could have done it.

Acceleration. That's space-time magic... it's like a hell of a spell. The effect time seems to be short, but the speed is far faster.

And it's not just speed, right? It's not just the speed, it's also the speed of thought and reflection. Otherwise, they couldn't attack and defend themselves at that speed.

''It's a foul magic...''

Ion would be right. Moreover, Brass used magic without a wand. I'm sure he has a special job title or skill.

''Do you wish to surrender?''

''No way... I have learned from Tact-san that no matter how strong the opponent is, it's strength to fight to the end. That's why I'm going to fight with all my might to the end!

Aeon thrusts his arm, which has become an ice sword, into the ground.

''Dragon technique!　Dragonwave!

The overflowing water became a wave that hit Brass.

'I am truly grateful that I was able to fight you to the best of my ability today. Therefore, I too will respond to your fullest efforts!

Brass crosses his twin swords on top of each other. Then, the magic circles are combined and a new magic circle is completed.

''Synthetic magic!　Zepulos Edge!

The swirling blades of the storm and the waves of ions collided. The winner was clear. The blade of the storm aimed at the ion as it engulfed the ion's water.

It was at that moment when he thought he had won or lost.

''Ao Wave!

Aeon's final blow pierced the blade of the storm and struck Brass.

''Nah!''

The Aeon's blue wave hit the brass.

''Ha... ha... ha... u...''

Ion used up everything and collapsed. In contrast, Brass was defending against the blue wave motion with his light shield.

''Ah...''

The hall goes quiet at this result.

'Er...oh, really. Winner, Brass.

No one applauds when I declare the winner.

'Err...Princess. We won.

'Yes. I said I'd give her all I could at the end, but you defended and won.

'Ugh!　No, that was a blow you shouldn't have taken!

'Let's not lie, okay?　It was all an operation, wasn't it?　That's what I'm talking about... no matter how cunning you are, you're going for the win.

'No, sir!　My lady!　Garou!　Trust me!

They won, but they're in trouble.

I'm gonna get Aeon back on his feet.

”Ta-taq-san. I... have you lost...

I pat Ion on the head.

You did well. We lost the game, but I saw how well Ion has grown. You should be proud of yourself. It was a great battle.

Mr. Tact... thank you.

And the crowd applauded and cheered for Ion. It was such a great match.

Then Princess Sarah comes over here.

'Were you okay?'

'Yes, sir!　Mr. Takut-san has helped me recover, so I'm fine.

'It was a great battle. Your determination to never give up until the end, I would like to follow your example as a knight. Everyone! Once again, a big round of applause for Aeon of Dragoneut for this great fight!

'Wow!'

A round of applause from all the cheers.

'Ah, haha... ha, that's embarrassing.

That's how many fights I've put up. I'm no longer a pathetic fighter either.

Yes. And let's make sure our fight is as good as it can be.

As we're talking, the big guy comes over.

'It's our fight first, though!

Lily replied cheerfully.

'I won't lose!　As a big sister, Lily will avenge Aeon's death!

'Ha!　Excellent!　I'm paying you back!

Game 4

The big man from earlier comes out with a large sword in his hand.

''This is Garou, Captain of the First Squadron of the Knights of the Fretia Kingsguard.

This one also has Lily cheerfully carrying two large swords out.

''It's Lilly, the eldest daughter of Leapling!

I think it's great that Lily is going out of her way to emphasize her eldest daughter here.
