It Is A Different World And Yet I Am Cultivating Monsters

"The duel is... here!

Me and Lily hurried to the hall of the royal palace, which was the stage for the Kings of Sin and Massauda.

When we reached the hall, there was a ring in the middle, covered with white tiles, and the audience seat was widened to surround it, with several aristocratic figures from the country sitting there.

There you are, Kyo.

She was called by her name and turned around and saw Rostam sitting in one of the audience seats.

"Mr. Rostam, what happened to Singh?

"Well, you can say we managed to make it. In addition, my physical abilities are out of control. But it's up to him to decide if he can win."

"Strategies..."

I nod quietly to Mr. Rostam's words.

Certainly, nothing changes dramatically overnight.

However, if you give them training and evaluation, there is also the possibility of reversal.

I believe what Rostam says and sit next to him.

There's nothing we can do to get here.

All we have to do is watch the King's Championship begin right now.

As we watched, a loud bell sounded on the spot, and at the same time, two people were seen rising on the stage under our eyes.

On the other hand, the First Prince Masauda inherits the authentic bloodline of this Arabian royal palace.

And the other was the true second prince of the country, Singh, who had been missing until now, having been assassinated for just that reason because he was born from a civilian queen.

At the same time as they both go up to the stage, they can hear voices from the audience seat.

"Is that... Prince Singh?

"Is it true that Alicia is supposed to play King's War...?

"No, Alicia was originally in the shape of her brother Singh, and didn't she appear in that form...?

"From what I heard, it seems that Alicia-sama was injured last night, but is that something to do with it...?

Apparently, many of the audience members saw Sin on the stage and were confused whether it was Alicia or not.

Masauda, the man standing in front of Sin on the other hand, did not see any upset.

"That little civilian girl is coming, why are you here?

To Masauda who asks, Singh does not show any weakness as before, but declares with strong will eyes.

"This is my fight. King fights to keep me in this kingdom. Do something cowardly like get your sister to replace you. This King's War will be fought by myself."

It was a voice that sounded so clear in the audience seat that when I heard it, I realized that it was the real Second Prince Singh who was challenging the king battle now, and the venue stopped again.

But the confronting Masauda looks as cool as she planned and quietly raises her hand to silence the audience's gaze.

Very well. Now I will begin the King's War against you. Do you have any objection that it is better for both of us to follow the royal line and win?

"... no"

Sin nods quietly to Masauda's declaration.

Eventually, after the two pronouncements, a magician appeared on the stage.

"From now on, we will try to establish who is truly right and who is truly right through the ancient and orthodox ritual, the Battle of Kings."

At the same time as the magician said so, the sword was distributed to both Singh and Masauda.

"Each other's weapons in this royal battle are swords. Both sides will verify their weapons and we will begin the Battle of Kings later."

This is Masauda. No problem.

"... Sin. No problem."

We both make sure that nothing has been loaded into our weapons, but we both declare that it is okay.

But I couldn't wipe out my anxiety about why I was looking at it.

If we can verify our weapons, we won't be able to train the weapons on Sin's side.

But if there was a trick on Masauda's side, my anxiety would finally signal the start of the King's Championship.

"Now, with the consent of both parties, we will begin the Battle of Kings! Good luck on both sides! Goddess bless you! Seize victory for justice!

When the sorcerer's proclamation was over, it was Masauda who set it up first.

Masauda fills the space all at once, while simultaneously poking the sword in her hand like a Rapier!

Hmm!

It was much faster than I expected, and in an instant he made dozens of thrusts, and Sin avoided it with his front motion vision and reflex nerves, but he couldn't help avoiding everything, blocking some sword thrusts with the sword in his hand and keeping contact with the body to zero.

"Ah hey... I guess he's surprisingly strong..."

I knew that the royal family thought it was just the mouth, but I betrayed my expectations and Masauda's strength was certain.

"Speaking of royalty, we need the strength to fight. Especially in a world where powerful people are rising by the brave system today. It is not uncommon for the royals to develop themselves and show their strength."

Indeed. In that sense, neither did Sin or Alicia, and I think we should talk to Rostam.

And while I was thinking about that, Masauda's attack went to Singh without stopping. Soon, she was pushed to the edge of the stage, and there was no escape anymore.

"......!

"Those who have not dealt with the sword have endured so much. When it comes to the handling of swords, it's something unbearable to see, but let's celebrate the motor vision and reflex nerves that complement it. But it's over!

At the same time as Masauda declared so, a high-speed thrust approached Singh again and tried to catch it with a sword, but it was also played.

After confirming that the opponent's weapon is gone, Masauda laughs at the victory and raises the sword in her hand.

"It's over! You filthy child!

The moment I shook my sword down, Sin's figure, which was crouching in front of me, disappeared.

"What...!?

Masauda is obviously wandering with a wolf look.

But so are we, and Rostam, who was next to me, murmured sooner than we could find him anywhere.

Behind you.

As Mr. Rostam declared, Sin, who was circling behind Masauda, saw him kicking his back as hard as he could.

"Ha...!?

Masauda looks as if she doesn't know what she did for a moment.

But that was true of all the audience nobles gathered at this venue.

"Haaah!!

Sin, who was distanced at once to ignore the air in such a paranoid venue, grabbed the fists of both hands and relentlessly poured them on Masauda's body, arms and face.

"Fuck! Gu! Fuck!"

An unexpected counterattack from Singh. No, Masauda backs down in a hurry at the impossible means of attack.

"Wait...! Wait, you...!!

Masauda desperately protested that it was impossible, while covering her broken nose with her hands with a proper fist on her face.

"You! You know this is the King's War! I told you this battle of kings is a serious battle with a sword! That's why you're using your fist!!

It's an attack from outside the rules. It was a legitimate protest against the insane behavior that amounted to an off-site brawl, and it was outrageous.

Masauda's remarks also seemed to agree with the nobles gathered around him, and most of them said, "Yes, indeed..." "In such a barbaric way of fighting, I can't call it king warfare..." "This is like a brawl..."

However, in response to such a protest from Masauda, the Shin didn't seem to care and said clearly.

"What's the problem?

"Hmm, what...?

"Don't use your fist. There shouldn't be any rules for king warfare."

Of course, Sin said so, but Masauda heard it, leaving herself to anger, saw her shake the sword in her hand violently.

"Fuck off! That's what the rules purposely say! The Battle of Kings is a sacred battle of mutual will! Make it look like such a ruleless spectacle, then you're disqualified from Kings!

"If so, you may admit your defeat. Lord Masauda."

It was Rostam next to me who responded to Masauda's voice.

"He's right, it's not against the rules anymore. There are no strict rules in this battle of kings in the first place. The only rule is to keep going until the opponent dies or admits losing. If that's the case, whether you use a fist or bite, it's“ poison or not, "whatever."

In Rostam's remarks, Masauda seemed to sweat cold as if she had been spotted.

"Indeed, this battle of kings. The weapon is said to be a sword, but it is not said that you should not use a fist without a sword. If you want to stick to the rules so tightly, next time you will write down the rules more carefully before you start the battle of kings, Lord Masauda."

"You...!

The remark by Mr. Rostam is, after all, almost a farce, but nonetheless he is right, and nobody could be sure that it would be against the rules.

This is evidenced by the fact that the nobles around them nodded while they looked at each other with difficulty, and that Masauda's own attention was distracted by the wildness from such an audience seat.

"Hah!!

Without missing out seeing Masauda's consciousness turn again, Singh's fist entered Masauda's face and he stumbled on the ground.

"Ahh, ahh! The kid...!! This abominable little brat...!!

While throwing up the bloody vomit accumulated in his mouth, Masauda turned to Sin without hiding his hatred, whilst using his disdain as if the previous noble figure had been a lie.

Masauda counters the incoming Shin with a thrust, but Shin no longer needs to focus on fighting with the sword and turns around on the spot.

Moving to Masauda's blind spot, he leans over like a beast and jumps into Masauda's body with a movement that reminds him of a leopard.

"Guahh...!!

Masauda bites relentlessly on his body and pushes his shoes against his throat as he slams him to the ground.

"Until now. Niisama, please admit your defeat."

There is also an obvious match.

It was the same with the audience, and regardless of how they fought, Singh's movements were extraordinary, and if this were a regular tournament or game, Singh would have been declared victorious at that point.

But this is the king fight that decides which is right.

Unlike the game, there was only one way to decide whether to admit defeat or die.

"... don't fuck with me!!

Masauda shook her sword at Shin's feet as she stepped on her throat.

The incision hurts Sin's leg and slightly distorts his face due to the pain.

"Ha, haha...! You brought no rules first, kid! I'm telling you, I'm not going to accept your surrender! I'll pierce your heart like this, and that's it!!

Masauda's laughter sounded as if she was confident of victory, distorting her face against slight scratches.

He poisoned his sword!

I stood up to protest, but Rostam sitting next to me stopped it.

"Don't worry, there's no problem. Kyo"

Following Rostam's words, I looked to the decision at hand.

There was a Masauda who just waved his sword down with a stop blow, but Sin's body, which was crouching in front of it, suddenly approached at an unprecedented speed.

"What?!? Stupid! Manticore poison! Even a scrub should cause intense dizziness! Why is that!?

Sin returns calmly to the confused Masauda.

"... you don't seem to know what kind of monster I've been raised by. Manticore's poison is a bit resistant. The poison applied to this sword won't stop you."

The next moment, Sin's fist broke Masauda's jaw, and Masauda, who flew in the air, rolled down to the ground.

"If you want to kill me with poison, you can summon Manticore directly."

Along with the word, the battle of kings was settled here.
