RATH 78
TL: Eevee
10 We came, e won (3)
4 Their story: A certain participant’s story
“It, it can’t be”
The numbers that were recorded on the scoreboard in front of me couldn’t possibly be real
But not matter how many times I rubbed e
[Arucia: 0pt]
[Marcis: 0pt]
[Yugrasia: 5pt]
[Mercaria: 0pt]
Over the week that the four acade the imperial festival, there were a total of 30 events
Depending on the event, there are some that can take the entire day, whereas others could end in just under an hour
And the majority of the events on the first day were of the type that ended quickly, and likewise, the nuh, either
And today’s event in particular, were all individual events that orth the least amount of points, so each victory orth only 1 point
Because the events leading into the final days orth 5 points, sometimes up to ten, you couldn’t afford to be coht contest all the way to the end It was too early to give up yet
But, even so
On the other hand, if so, then even if you won on the final day, you still couldn’t win
Because even if you took 10 points fro on the final day, if the opponents already had 11 points then everything was already over
And let me repeat this, but there were five events today And they were individual events worth the fewest aic?”
But no rasia 5pt] did not change
Very well I rasia, the school deely so!
“Pres… it’s okay! 5 points today, that’s nothing, right?”
Even as the other measted face up, I still couldn’t say anything
“We’re Arucia, right?”
“Yeah! Arucia! The strongest of the Four Great Acadeht expressions
“But… Rail, the strongest of all of us got destroyed that easily?”
“That’s…” Everyone else fell into silence
We wouldn’t be so troubled if this was a teaht even have had excuses if we had a draw filled with nothing but the strongest fighters to defeat to proceed
But, none of these applied to today’s matches
No, on the contrary, you could say that ere actually quite lucky
An event that was the most favourable to Arucia, a 1:1 duel in a narrow arena
And even with our tournaht of as a worthy opponent until on
But
“Reil was defeated in Round 1, and no one else lasted past Round 3”
“Plus, three of the semifinalists were…”
Each academy sent out a total of ten people
Even Mercaria sent out people that could fight reasonably well, and I heard the standard of the her than last year as well
But, the whole story changed when you looked at the draw for the serasia, one Marcis”
And even that one Marcis student was defeated in his seht out between two Yugrasia students
“Admit it, ere routed”
These were the results even with our favourite event
And what about the other events?
All of thehter by Yugrasia
“But, but Lady Aris didn’t use su, and she only used her spear!”
“Yeah, Lady Aris as already talented sirasia”
“If only Lady Aris had come to Arucis!”
Do these idiots have any idea what they’re saying
No, seeing the majority of them were second years in their first time on the student council, they wouldn’t understand
“Are you all a bunch of idiots? Are youyour heads?”
The moment I was about to tell the beforeto a su to be proud of? And the furthest we rasia alone sent 3 people to the seht the final between each other”
“That’s…”
“If you were an ordinary student, I won’t care if that’s what you think I wouldn’t care if that hat you would have thought last year! But right now, you are members of Arucia’s student council We need to understand e lost, and make it so that our students can win instead
“Arietta…”
The person that would want to beat Yugrasia the most out of all of us would be Arietta herself
Did that asshole Nerkia even know just what she was fighting for this iht each other quite often, when you considered Arietta’s situation that pissed ht?”
“Mm… For now”
At Arietta’s shout, the new azes doards, and the fourth year an to console the other students
“You’re still playing the villain as always”
“Well, it’s what I’ve always been doing after all It’s a role I’ve inherited fro Nerkia? It’s not a bad deal for hiain from all this as well, isn’t he?”
“No… the pro like that”
She’s still as stubborn as ever
And I suppose that was the exact reason why she was a figure of respect for countless Arucis girls, as well as one of fear
“And besides… Nerkia’s also doing his best to win in the iive up just like that”
damn it, her completely different appearance to her normal cool personality was so damn cute
To the point I just didn’t understand hy the hell was she lovers with someone like Nerkia!
“Nerkia is incredible Even when he first enrolled, he could have gone to Marcis, but not for the school he was going to attend, but purely for his own education, he chose to go to Yugrasia, and he even created a miracle like this!”
Was this what you called a maiden in love
I couldn’t see any trace of her normal self as she fervently heaped on the praise, as she showed me a side of her I’d never seen once in the two years we’d been on the student council together
Although the fact the reason why she was showing rasia student council president Nerkia, was so, so irls are really living it the hard way”
“No, we’re all doing this because ant it So, it’s alright”
As I looked at Arietta sirl that made that very same smile
Someone who could in future aim for the title of president, or vice-president
A girl whose personality was the coirl who could not earn respect, but was loved instead
“Alright then… toh the thought of an asshole whoa happy end did ht now as the student council president of Arucis, I had a duty to ensure that Arucia won the imperial festival
“Yep, I believe in you, Pres!”
And the next day
[Arucia: 0pt]
[Marcis: 0pt]
[Yugrasia: 12pt]
