”It'll take at least an hour”
When he inforathered for aWhether to carry theit
”Then I'll leave it to you to repair it The next , so once that's over, we'll call it a day The rest will have to wait for tomorrow”
”You make my work sound so hile…”
Thewith ic They could just increase the ic If anyone without experience unskillfully stuck their hands in, the ring would never hold up You could call it the tricks of the trade
But if they continued holding matches in the arena alone, the ht That on their minds, the teachers decided to split up the sethened, and it wouldn't be a problem, they decided Eunius and Luecke's match would be held in the arena, while Rudel and Aleist would duke it out in the proving grounds
As the co ot into heated debate over which , and contained a connection of fates Both matches were ones they wanted to see, and the students were heated as well
”What will you do, Izumi?”
Within all that, the forht for just a bit before standing frorounds
”I'll go see Rudel and Aleist's match I'm sure he'll be lonely over there with no acquaintances to watch”
Giving an excuse, Izumi pulled the former Goddess' hand and walked off
Over the arena's hour long break, Eunius and Leucke glared at one another They had both been aware of one another from the mo houses would instill the information on their enemies from childhood
”Did they really have to go this far, normally?”
”… I'ic into that heated face of yours, Eunius”
Hearing those words, Eunius' fed up face turned to the fearsoave off was even colder than usual As the two glared at one another, the starting signal resounded through the arena
”Henceforth, the sein!”
Hearing the referee's voice, the two of theht Luecke would try to take distance, and tried to close the space in an instant But Luecke took an unexpected action Luecke also leapt forward, bringing the match to a contest of blades Eunius was surprised, but perhaps that's where his genius lay
”That was a shocker, but that's all you've got? How soft!”
It was the moment he parried the wood sword Luecke thrust out Eunius sensed danger and leapt back As expected, to the place he had been standing flew a nuics
”You've got good instinct But ddon't think this is the end”
Luecke took a stance with his sword, but this tiic to fill in the space between Eunius and hiue, Eunius put his all into evasive action as he looked for an opportunity to approach
He avoided and used thedown Repeating the process, he was thinking of inviting Luecke to expend all his ht over it, but… he wouldn't permit himself to do that
”This is the last tih horse!!”
Receiving a few hits of ic sword to move it lie a witch By that, he spread out his reach and launched an attack at Luecke's neck But without and panic, Luecke stopped it with the wood sword in his own hands No, he erased it
”You've surprisingly dull Even if it's a shaic sword In that case, there's no probleht defenses”
”Oy, oy, what do you think you're doing… just when things were getting fun, no one was asking for a lecture!”
Caring not for his disappearing ht at Luecke As the space between thee It was a self-da move he had used in his match with Rudel, and now he used it to create some distance
”For a battle h!”
When Luecke unleashed a streaic, even Eunius took distance He did, but carrying out the calculations, Luecke read his h in output and vast in scope It was impossible to avoid them all
”Not bad!!!”
But if you can't avoid, then don't, thought Eunius as he leapt straight into thethose he couldn't avoid even so
”Are you human!?”
Luecke took distance as he prepared his tru its limit, he decided touse that to decide thenear and went on the offense
”This is the end, Eunius!”
”Don't ht of me, beansprout!”
Sensing Luecke had prepared soic he could into his sword and lowered it at hi that, Luecke was convinced of his victory Eunius' swordplay exceeded Rudel, but if they fought they would lose Luecke knew the reason why He had an overwhel his way through with his sword
So Luecke thought, and even when he had erased the ain
”bastard!”
Eunius' ic sword didn't reach Luecke No, before it could reach, he could lower it no longer Eunius was surrounded by Luecke's wall ofin scope Before that sturdy wall his sword couldn't collapse, Eunius' wooden sword snapped
”You're surrounded on all sides, and if you try running into the sky, you'll be shot down There's nothing you can do when you don't have a sword, Eunius”
Thearound was a sturdy one He would have to buy a a number of different spells, but Luecke had pulled it off Everyone was convinced of his victory when a cloud of dust rose the sturdy wall fell apart The sound of cruh the arena, the spectators sed their breath
”Don't think a wall of dirt would be able to stop me”
Tattered as he was, Eunius walked towards Luecke with an intrigued, ferocious sic, but Eunius closed the distance in an instant, hareater than anything he had anticipated, Luecke couldn't even understand what had happened as he was blown through the air
”Just as I thought, it really is hard to do it with your fists But… this is usable!”
As Luecke tried to stand, Eunius gave pursuit to instill the final blow This tiuard, but his crossed ar the sound of breaking bones through his body, Luecke let out a cry Surrounding his fist withthem in with brute force That was all there was to it That was Eunius' trump card
”GAAaah!”
”Hah, hah, that's not all there is to it!”
But channellingattack on Eunius as he swung his fist towards hi both sides flying Eunius waited for the smoke of the explosion to die down, surprised when Luecke leapt out of the cloud He was surprised, but seeing Luecke's face that had yet to give up, he cried out
”Nice pluck, but you see…”
As Eunius tried to say so, Luecke cried out as if to answer his of the two that just happened to overlap
”You alone I can't lose to!”
”You alone I don't want to lose to!”
Eunius sent a punch at Luecke, but hisits li that hit Luecke launched an attack at his head His attack perfectly caught Eunius in the jaw
Both of them were unsteady on their feet, their eyes unable to focus Just like that, they stopped htest twitch The referee confirmed their states, and once he found they had both lost consciousness, he declared
”This match… is a draw!”
