Koluen looks around the venue in the middle of the game.
There, the last athlete walks by today with a slow pace.
The 30th player stepped into the arena.
Morgan.
Reach the center of the game and face Koren.
Morgan dropped his eyes at his feet and never looked into Koren's eyes.
A moment of silence.
"Your class is strong."
Suddenly, Koren said.
When Morgan raised his face unexpectedly to his unfaithful voice, he and Coren smiled together.
"Polois and Eston are pretty strong. They're not that easy to lose."
The eyes are sparkling with joy.
"It's funny, guys. Especially when it comes out first, Almark. I wish I could have done it with him."
When Morgan could not find the words to return and remained silent, Koren said with a smile.
"This tournament is over in our game. Let's have a good game."
Grasp the hand that was offered.
Handshake before the match.
The audience applauds the sight.
"Ah, take a gentle hold of my hand."
Nelson says worried.
"We're going to fight."
"Colen feels a little different from his old opponent."
Nelson nods at Almark's words.
"Yeah, I told you before. He has played with us a lot. He's a good guy. I don't know, innocent."
But you're strong.
You know what I mean?
"Yeah."
Almark nodded.
I can tell from the trouble.
Unyielding innocence would be a flip over of strong confidence and pride.
Since Ain's game, which would be the strongest in a pair, is not seen with this eye, I cannot make a clear decision, but perhaps even today's contestants, Koren has the strength to compete for one or two.
"Morgan!!"
From the audience seat, a loud voice was heard.
"Come on, don't lose!
Buyer.
Nelson speaks the name of the boy who became the only substitute for the two boys.
I feel like I'm hearing his voice for the first time today.
"The buyer was discussing with Morgan that we were the only alternates until Wallis couldn't get out."
Reido says.
"In this situation, I suppose you thought buyers had to support you."
"I've always thought of you as a woman with a small shoulder."
Nelson shrugs his shoulders.
"He must have had a rough day."
"That's right. I'm sure it'll reach Morgan."
Almark looked at the support seat with a smile.
When the buyer's tall voice reached his ear, Morgen loosened his cheeks a little.
Thank you, Buyer.
If it's true, I'd like to fly over there right away to support someone in the final game.
Morgan's body tremors never subsided.
I can't go.
Because the last one is me now.
Morgan looked up at Koren gently.
I'm sure they found out in the handshake just now.
Sometimes my hands were drenched with cold sweat.
The hand trembled little by little.
I can't help it.
Morgan thinks.
Something scary is scary.
I hate to be cool, but the stronger you try, the more tremors come from the bottom of your belly.
If you hadn't eaten your teeth, your back teeth would have been squeaking forever.
I can't help it.
That's me.
Today's game, I've seen everyone fight closer.
And I felt painful.
You can also inspire yourself like Nelson and fight bravely with that momentum.
Sometimes you throw away everything else for goals as high as Leila's.
You can also keep yourself as you normally would with a cool cut like Reido.
Not to mention the magical calm and intensity of Al Marc living together and coming to the game for fun.
I can't do it very well.
The referee Bowen stood beside them, and the name of Korwen was first read out.
Koren raised his right hand with a sword slowly and responded to it.
There are no flashy performances like Polois, and no clear-cut manners like Eston.
That's why Morgan knows.
Koren is strong.
When his name was read out, Morgen lowered his head in a hurry.
That seemed funny, and there was a laugh from the audience seat with the applause.
That's how I got laughed at.
Morgan doesn't like a lot of things.
Every time I try something like that, I get laughed at even if I don't intend to.
I don't like it, and every time I'm laughed at, I feel like I want to hide somewhere, but I smile and mend it.
I laugh when I do something bad. [M]
I thought that's what people do.
But Almark was different.
From the time we met until today, Almark never fooled Morgan.
When Almark saw his obviously inferior magic compared to other classmates, he did not spare any honest compliments.
Even in martial arts practice, he knew his movements were painfully bad, but Almark never abandoned them and thought of a way to win.
That's why Morgan's not afraid to be laughed at anymore.
Because I can be sure that there is only one person who will definitely not laugh at me.
Let anyone who wants to laugh laugh laugh.
I have Almark.
Bowen urges them to align their swords.
Morgan raised his sword first.
When he saw it, Koren nodded small and aligned his sword tip.
"Getting Started!!"
Bowen's voice.
The last game of the day began.
Morgen shouted loudly as he jumped in between.
"Come on, come on!!"
The voice turned over nervously.
Koluen raised her eyebrows. Another sneer leaked from the audience seat.
"That's fine."
Almark murmured.
"Morgan, that's fine."
Morgan has a word he cares about like an amulet.
The night the mercenaries of the North attacked that Wendy's winter mansion.
Almark's first words to Morgan, who wandered on to the mercenaries who attacked him as early as the day he arrived.
"It's okay. I'm here with you. I can handle it."
On that day, Almark slashed many adult mercenaries alone.
The mercenaries' heads also fell down on their own with wounds.
It is truly trivial that I was able to make myself there.
But...
Almark didn't treat Morgan down.
Me and you.
Almark always treated Morgan equally.
Morgan. Morgan.
Only Almark, who would be stronger than any of them, would be familiar with such a word.
You always put "you" next to "me."
"You're afraid of the sword."
In practice, Almark told Morgan.
As Morgen nodded, Almark raised his index finger and showed it to Morgen.
"Just once. Can you put up with just one attack?"
"Once...?
"Morgan, you have good eyes. You can tell from the opponent's eyes and body movements that the attack is coming. [M] And I get scared."
That's why Almark looked into Morgan's eyes.
"You can only endure fear once."
Almark had noticed that Morgan had good eyes from the very beginning of his practice.
This is also caused by the fact that the opponent's attack is detected and immediately reaches down.
When the balance of Leila and Rosfilia's offensive defenses broke down in today's game, it was Morgan who first noticed it and raised his voice.
The speed at which the body and sword are pounded. Such things don't happen quickly, and Morgan doesn't have much talent for them.
So if Koren and Morgan play, Koren will win 99 out of 100. It's overwhelming enough not to be a game.
But if it's a battlefield match, if it's a defeat, it's not a second time.
Same as that. This tournament is a one-time game.
If it's just one match.
For the first time we can see each other now.
Morgan will win.
Almark murmured again.
Koluen's smile disappeared and he became serious.
No matter how funny Morgan's manners look, Koren will never lick them.
Koren is such a boy.
That big body gets bigger in front of Morgan.
Eye illusions brought about by fear.
Even so, the more confident Koren looks, the bigger he becomes, the more he covers Morgen's horizons.
I'm scared.
Corwin's thrust will probably be faster than Almark's in practice, and faster than the torque he fought on the last day.
I'm scared.
I feel like I can pull my hips.
There is only one word that supports Morgan: Almark.
"You can only endure fear once."
If Almark says so, I believe him. [M]
Morgan opened his eyes.
Don't miss out on Kohlen's one-handed shot.
He's the one who takes the first step.
Nelson's father said that.
Almark's father, Raise, said something a little different.
It must come from my experience as a mercenary.
It doesn't mean that either is right.
However, before the match, Almark passed on his father's words to Morgan.
Raise's voice rises to Almark's chest.
Look, Almark.
"Don't make a mistake when you leave."
And then...
"If you decide to leave, don't hesitate."
Don't hesitate, Morgan.
Almark mutters in his heart.
First blow.
The maneuver Morgan gave Almark is simple and clear.
The only way for Morgen, who has no skill or health, to win.
Hits the first hit of the opponent.
Koren filled the gap with Morgan.
Fast.
Much faster than expected.
Morgan still resisted fear.
Look at that.
Watch Koren's movements.
Don't miss a thing.
Move it.
Move, my body.
Don't hesitate. Don't hesitate. Don't hesitate.
The taste of blood came from eating teeth.
Colen's thrust is released.
Probably one or two of today's games in an incredible hurdle.
"No matter how fast."
Almark's words.
"If you knew you were coming, you'd be dodged."
Almark, if you say so.
Morgan thought.
If you tell me you can win, I will win.
If you tell me I'm strong, I can be as strong as I want. [M]
So, if you'll tell me I'm brave.
Colen's thrust ripped through the sky.
That's not because I'm brave.
A poke with Morgan's whole body in it pierces Koren's torso.
My courage is yours.
Almark.
You are my courage. [M]
"Until then!!"
Bowen's voice echoed.
