Chapter 86 (2/2)
The man hiretting it in the waiting roo around from the sheer embarrassment
Cattleya touched her hand to her chin, thinking as she tried to say so, when a voice called over to Fina It was her older sister Aileen, who had birthed some interest in Fina's conversation
”Oh my, so you've already decided the victor of the next match? This match hasn't even ended yet”
Aileen was s air that went beyond her expression She couldn't forgive the fact that Fina's group had decided on Fritz' loss
As she looked over the three knights, perhaps it was the first tirew sharp for an instant
Meanwhile, Fina was delighted her plan had worked out
(Whooh! With this, I've dropped the probability Sophina and the two dragoons will head over to my sister's faction!! I'll whittle them away bit by bit!!)
Fina had kept the two dragoons in want of fluff replenishment, but on these harvests beyond her expectations, she declared thissession a success
Thebloas finally coth
If Rudel attact with versatility, Eunius would bet on a single blow and swing around his fists The top of the ring had been destroyed,
It was fine if they continued exchanging punches, but it was about time for them to decide the match
As both sides leapt back to take distance, they got their breathing in order
”Eunius, I'll decide it with the next one”
”Oh, what a coincidence… I'll also be deciding it here Regrettable as it is, I do have my next match ahead of me”
Both believed in their victory without any doubt They had not the slightest thought of loss But there could only be one victor Even if it was difficult, Eunius held the advantage on a defensive front He was able to endure Rudel's blows
As Rudel stepped in first, Eunius prioritized his offense over defense Rudel plunged hireet hiest blow
He channeled h destructive capabilities Where he lowered his fist, Rudel had definitely been there, but he dodged at a paper-thin in In the next instant, Eunius braced his body to endure, but Rudel laughed
”That's no good, Eunius That's where you should attack”
Grabbing that lowered arh tha air, Eunius tried to roll as he slammed into the floor But the moment he rolled, he noticed his ddefeat
”Rudel!”
Sending hiic, Rudel did a rapid descent straight into Eunius Bty the time he noticed it, Rudel's kick was already ready to pierce hie it, Eunius was only able to endure
As Rudel fired that piercing kick, he put all his body's weight into his foot, and with h Eunius' defenses
With nowhere to run, Eunius took the brunt of Rudel's full force, cracks spreading across the entirety of the ring
Yet Eunius ed to endure the attack that exceeded all his expectations As a price for enduring, he was left out of mana An intense pain assailed his body and he was unable to even stand
He suddenly recalled the for even when he was out of mana
(That bastard, so he endured this pane… I've got to praise hiet in stance Otherwise, I'll lose)
Eunius so, but as the referee's voice declared Rudels' victory, he faded aith a siven it his all and lost He made a satisfied face
The arena was rocked by an enormous cheer
Eunius was hurriedly rushed to the infir room
As he had a ht He couldn't quite forfeit before the king
But it would the soht so's repairs from their audience seats, Izumi and the others worried for Rudel
Millia felt the disadvantage of the finals, and opened her mouth in anxiety
”At this rate, it really will be bad Rudel's alht be able to win his way there unscathed”
Basyle stroked her enlarged stoht
(No, you could have just put in a bit of effort It's your fault he got here unharht?)
Supporting her for repairs being carried out through , the matches would resume in less than an hour
There had already been a break, and around, the spectators who had used the school cafeteria were beginning to return The cafeteria was unable to accommodate all of them, so the audience was divided up The three of the time in their audience seats
”H-he definitely does have a disadvantage, but Rudel has always overturned disadvantageous situations So I'm sure he'll be fine this time”
Iauet herself to believe, but it was clear Rudel was at a disadvantage after a close-combat match with Eunius
Basyle understood Izus, but this tiht was undoubtedly skilled, and she wondered how long Rudel would be able to put up a fight
The black knight Aleist had beco that he wouldn't end a 's eyes, she hoped both sides would fight a good fight…
But Bastle's hopes were splendidly betrayed
As Aleist and Fritz stepped up to the , apart froh the arena
Over histeased He tried his best to concentrate on thehis attention on his opponent before his eyes
”But before the an, Frits opened his mouth”
”Good grief, this is why you laid-back nobles are no good When you're at a athered to see, to show off such a farce…”
”Ah?”
Even Aleist didn't want to be told that by the ruff You put on a production of your own farce just a few years ago, didn't you!? He soed to s the words
”It's laughable to think they'll call a knight like you the black knight I heard it was a revelation from a Goddess, but that Goddess must have had knotholes for eyes”
”Combatant, speak with moderation! Now let the match commence!”
As the referee declared the match's start, Fritz took a stance with his wooden sword Ever since he was defeated by Rudel, Aileen had hired him a personal tutor for swordplay and the martial arts
His place he crawled up to through ability, and he had some confidence in his current self
But just as the referee declared the start, Fritz' consciousness was bloay The last thing he saas the bottom of Aleist's shoe
Just as the match started, Aleist had visited Fritz' face with a well-placed drop-kick The kick fro out the hall
”Try saying that one ain!!”
Blown off the rung, Fritz was already unconscious Having truly ended the match in seconts, Aleist suddenly recalled his next match ith Rudel
And the fact he planned to extend thisas possible… the spectators were the sa from their private room were surprised by Aleist's actions as well
”V-victor, Aleist Hardie!”
Ignoring his victory declaration, Aleist rushed over to Fritz, grabbing his lapels in both hands and shaking hiainst his better judgement- put in a serious kick Aleist desperately tried to wake Fritz up
”W-wake up, Fritz! We won't be able to buy time like this, dammit!!”
”Cease and deist! We do not accept any attacks against the defeated party”
As Aleist violently shook Fritz back and forth, the ref and those in charge frantically restrained him
