Chapter 29 (1/2)
The Second day of the tournaan with a peculiar air The first year student matches ended without issue, and the princess' class claimed victory… Chlust also participated as a representative and showed off his mettle There were a number of matches that were suspicious no matter how you looked at theht fair and square
And the base of that abnormal air was, of course, Rudel Rudel's classmates were in tatters, but Rudel's state was hts with the top candidates Luecke and Eunius had been
Right, he orn out, but…
”It's finally here! We're definitely going to win!”
He was terribly energetic In the hall, Luecke and Eunius who had slipped out of the infirside the upperclass were there Mixed in with them, Basyle had also come to cheer him on
In such a hall, Aleist's class on the opposite side of the ring looked at Rudel's tattered comrades in relief They had been wary of Rudel's class, that hadfoes, but with this, they were sure they could come out on top
And froardless of the leisure Aleist's class let off, Rudel's class so on At the final matchup, the results were set at two to two, and with this, everyone knew they could count on an exciting finale
Rudel stood opposite Aleist, waiting for the referee's signals And as he waited, Aleist called over
”Looks like someone's on fire… but even so, you're in quite a terrible shape over there When I've finally gotten a stage to show off, I' the weak”
In contrast to Aleist's cynicisht, Rudel had been waiting for this moment, and from the results up to now, he took Aleist's cynicis! With that on his mind, Rudel prepared his wooden sword
As he focused his attention on the match, the pain in his body seemed to fade away
Seeing Rudel like that, Aleist gru both sides were ready, the referee gave the signal
Watching from the noble visitor rooht unraveling before their eyes This was no longer a contest between students of the fundamental curriculum Between these tho could easily be cohts, the hall itself held its breath
(M- to lose at this rate! Myto lose!!!)
Fina panicked left and right within At the match, Aileen,
”Ohhoonderfully strong Aleist-sama must be!”
He saved her little sister, and that beautiful appearance His forht she once loved, to Aileen, Aleist was the ideal knight
But the i up the fan she used to cover herthe queen's growing interest in thefor her impression
”How about it? Do you see so you like?”
Leaving a space of silence, the queen answered the query
”Yes, boy balled Rudel, the arses House's legiti But… how shall I put it, the Hardie House's Aleist is… quite light, I'd have to say”
The queen's eyes open wider than usual felt Aleist's strength as soth in such a way… fro man In his youth, Albach had excelled in the sword, and it was accurate to say she fell for his skills But forced to sit through a tournament of students- the fundamental curriculum even- their crude matches and untrained ht
But in reality, starting with the Three Lords' sons, she was able to bear witness to sohts However…
”What a letdown…in the finals, what's more, the final ins, the other's strength has no weight to it If that's how it's going to be, then yesterday's ues better”
The Queen opened her fan once more It seems she had lost interest
”Then who do you think in?”
On the king's nonchalant question, the queen gave an uninterested response
”Well, the winner will be…”
Unnoticed by her parents, Fina expressionlessly…
(My fluffing! The fluffy kingdom of my dreams!!! Master!!! Hold on!!!)
Faithful to her desires to no end
It was a harder ined In both swordplay and ht he would co No, you could say he inning Rudel…
(Alest's swordplay falls short of Eunius! His th… Aleist lacks an overwhel level of technique If I'm to win, I've no choice but to stab into that flaw!)
Thinking that, he parried Aleist's attacks that pushed through with brute force and ai frole hit In contrast, suppressed as he was, Rudel's attacks landed accurately Even so, the fact he was draggins his beaten body at a disadvantage hadn't changed
In the hall, the voices in support of Aleist- who saved the princess- coeh spirits But when it came down to it is, he was hard-pressed to win What's more, the opponent was Rudel That Rudel! Inept and prideful! Rudel who only existed as a hindrance!!!
”Why are you getting in my way… just fall already!”
Growing irritated, hastily usedon the form of a blade made of fire itself But its size was around twice that of a hu it around, he launched an offense on Rudel
”You! Someone like you! Should just dissapeaaar!!!”
Horizontally, vertically, Aleist swung his sword… as he avoided it, Rudel also flowed ic into his blade His special sword he had ic ran parallel to his wood sword, taking the shape of an orderly blade
Its length wasn't anything great… but as Aleist's blade can Rudel to oblivion, even when he kneouldn't reach, Rudel swung his oord The e, Aleist's h
”W-what's with that! I don't know such a move… hoardly!”
The ht to his side He hurriedly lifted his sword to block, but perhaps both wooden swords had already reached their limits as they snapped the moment of impact
”R-ref! I can't use my sooden sword Temporary time ou…!”
The ed to close coed with his talen in ainst Rudel's difference of spirit HE felt fear at Rudel's serious eyes
(Why!? Why did it coht… isn't this a world where I'm the lead role!!!?)
A high-level display of hand-to-hand combat unfolded between the two, but Aleist couldn't help but draw back Nohe was, in what he lost out in force of will, he could only find it in hi but blocked, Aleist recalled his life before his reincarnation… the truth of the true Aleist's bullied life
(Harassed day after day… I finally croaked in an accident, and reincarnated into the world of the gaot status! My face wasn't ugly! … and yet, and yet, even here… you'll bully me here!!!)
As Aleist's face warped in fear, it was taken in by Rudel's fist Blown back, Aleist crawled atop the ring It was a scene no different to his past life
(I'ain? By this stepping stone of a character…)
As Aleist wasn't getting to his feet, Rudel didn't pursue He simply stood before him The fearful Aleist wasn't even able to look at him
Around, voices of encourage down on Rudel
”Stand up! Why aren't you fighting me, Aleist!!!?”
Rudel's fist shook in his strong grip Was it froer… of ereater fear
”I'! Just let me lose!!!”
On Aleist's voice, the referee tried to declare the match's end But Rudel stopped it
