Legend

World War II is over, that night. Three people were eating in the dining room of the long empty pavilion: Ray, Rodos and Wind Dragon Fangs.

There's a subtle air somewhere, probably because Veicul still lost.

If it means we lost, Maust has already lost, but is that still something like the difference between a wizard and a bandit?

In the meantime, Lucy accidentally opens her mouth as she carries the bread to her mouth.

"Ma, I can't help it that Veicul lost, but that was just the other guy being strong. I don't think you need to worry about that much."

A word that I don't think takes into account Veicul's feelings.

But the word was true everywhere.

It is true that Veicul was not defeated by the use of cowardly hands, nor by some sort of anomaly. It was purely the result of fighting from the front.

… Regardless of the anomaly, the cowardly hands can also be seen as a successful fit of the opponent's tactics if they change their view.

Especially a missile like the one used by Veicul in the first round of this battle would be nothing but a cowardly hand if he tried to be the one who fought squarely.

But it's not strange that Veicul, a bandit, has such a back hand. Ning Ro, it can be taken for granted.

If you prefer to fight from the front in the first place, that's why you need to be a knight or a warrior. … although some knights and warriors prefer other methods than fighting squarely from the front.

I guess you understand that. Veicul sighs heavily as he pours ale into the cup he had.

"I know I simply wasn't strong enough. You still regret what you regret, so you can't help it.... What? Is it bad for me to regret losing?

"I didn't say that much. I guess the strength of your defeat is also an advantage. Besides, for the first time, I competed in a martial arts tournament until the main tournament. Don't you think we've got enough results?

"... right. That's why they're here."

Three people dressed like knights to see are ahead of Mosto's gaze as he agrees with Luzi's words.

Since we are in the dining room of the ancient sky pavilion, it was easy to imagine that he was probably the nobleman's handler staying in this inn.

(Scouts…)

Ray also thinks inside while carrying a shaky toothed salad to his mouth.

If, as Luzi said, he made his first appearance in a martial arts tournament and went as far as the second round of the main tournament, that would be a fine achievement. Even if someone came into contact with us for the future, it's not strange at all.

Because Ray himself brought such stories.

In Ray's case, he threw a round at Dusker and said no.

Even for Dusker, if he gets that pull out, he's just saying no to everything without question, just that Ray will be gone from the guild.

It was a form in which mutual interests were beautifully aligned.

But that can only be done because Dusker is in the status of a borderline uncle, and even more so because he is the central figure of one of the three factions of the kingdom of Mireana, the Neutralist.

Those like the fangs of a wind dragon without the presence of such a rear shield had to refuse in a way that did not allow the waves to rise.

"You're Mr. Veicul of Wind Dragon Fangs, aren't you? My lord says he wants to talk a little, would you mind?

One of the knights speaks to Veicul in a polite tone.

If it's normal, it's not the word a knight would hang for an adventurer.

Speaking of why we are so thankful, I guess that still affects that Veicul won the main match of the Martial Arts Games until Game II.

"... if only for a few moments"

That's what I told him, and he stood up with a clear face, as if his drunkenness had disappeared somewhere earlier.

As a person, I do not intend to respond to the other invitation. I want to make that clear: in this case, if you refuse an invitation from nobility without question, you will crush the other person's face.

Drop Veicul off with the knight as he goes, and Hugh Maust squeaks.

"I'm glad you're not drunk"

"... Indeed"

Even Luzi agrees with that word.

If, when you go before the nobility, the detachment habit, which is also the vice of the drunken Vacul, is activated, it will be a big deal in many ways.

Hopefully a nobleman with a vessel large enough to make him laugh, but also the possibility that if he did poorly, he would be brought straight back to bed...... I thought of it that way and Maust, who imagined how Fufu Veicul was becoming the nobleman's mistress, smiled sarcastically.

(I would also like to see that... Mistress Before, that nobleman would be useless as a man in many ways. But if we do, it will be dangerous for us to be in the capital.)

A slightly calm atmosphere came under the influence of Veicul leaving, but Ray opens his mouth as if to break it.

"Nevertheless, is this the only thing left to win among the fangs of the wind dragon"

"Right. However, as I said to Vacul earlier, everyone was able to compete in the competition for the first time, and you were very responsive."

Ray frowns slightly at the words coming out of Luzzi's mouth.

Because that tone seemed to me like I was saying I'd lose two fights.

"What, you're not going to win any further?

That's why I ask in such a teasing tone.

But Ruzi grins furiously at Ray's words and sends his gaze silently.

"No way. I've won this far around the corner. Then I'll go as far as I can. Besides... if we win tomorrow's battle, we can fight Rank S immobilization next. I wouldn't have missed such a great opportunity."

From Luzi, who tells me so, I can just see how far my powers lead to rank s adventurers...... I can win once and for all, or is the wall still far away, that's how I see it.

(He seems envious, not envious. I wonder what this subtle feeling is)

Think so while looking at Luzi, Ray.

I do envy being able to fight noise first. But I can also tell by the fact that I've only met that noise in person, and it still doesn't go as far as it is.

In order to cross each other with noise, you have to sharpen the blade of yourself more than you do now. Otherwise, I would be lightly snapped by a blade called noise...... no, I can only feel a future of being slashed and torn apart.

"... immovable, huh? I've never seen a rank S higher than my father's, but I can't say a word about it."

I guess I thought the same thing about Ray. Rhodos also exhales fed up as he carries a glass of wine into his mouth again.

I guess he understands the inexperience of a person named Noise just because he has spent many years at the same time as a person named Elk.

I need to go far on my own.

(but... that and this since it all beat Ray)

In the first place, Rodos' biggest reason to compete in this martial arts tournament is because he wants to exceed the wall called Ray. That's what Rhodos also sees Ray as a wall that he should go beyond himself, as Ray sees Noise as a wall.

Nor is that just a wall. It's a wall where the person you fell in love with at first sight is in love.

Fighting and love, both of which have an overwhelmingly low chance of winning...... Still, Rodos can't lose. I don't want to lose. That's why I competed in the fight.

"... you've kind of whitened up a lot. The key guests are gone, and we should open today."

Everyone snorts at Luzi's words.

Especially for Luzi, tomorrow is the second game. I guess some thoughts are just in case you can't stay hungover and try a game.

Because it's not a sweet enough tournament to win when you're not feeling well enough.

"Well, I'll go watch the game tomorrow, so good luck. As my apprentice, don't just fight the foolish battles."

Ray tells you in some jokingly stained tone that you tried to relieve Luzi of his nervousness and leaves the dining room.

Luzi drops it off and smiles bitterly.

"What's a disciple? Didn't we just train together for a second? It also feels almost unilaterally attacked. If you say you're a disciple, at least teach me some skills."

To such Luzzi's words, Mosto grins as he reaches for the fried nuts.

"Haha. So I learned how to use a dagger. Does that mean I'm Mr. Ray's apprentice?... Oh, but if you think about it, you mean Rodos is Mr. Ray's best apprentice? It might be awesome to be a child of Thunder God's Axe and a profoundly red apprentice."

"... oh yeah. But disciples go beyond their masters."

That's all I tell you, and Rhodos leaves, too.

It was Maust who leaned his neck against Rodos somewhere different than usual, but judging that it would be the tension caused by the fact that he was still winning the main battle, he decides to drop off Luzi, who is going back to get fit, and wait until Vacul returns.

Fortunately, Veicul, who returned less than an hour later, exhaled in relief, wondering if he had finished without being strangely obstinate, especially since he had not shown any grumpy appearance.

"Uh-oh!

Shaken with the voice of Luzi's exhaled temper, Claymore.

Built bigger than the average Claymore, that sword turns to its opponent at considerable speed thanks to Luzzi's arm power.

"Ahhhhhhh!

Against that is that she is as tall and fit as Luzi...... woman.

The woman with the name Regulta has muscles all the time wondering if this is still the case. That body was what made Luzi think he would never lose his strength, and in fact he was interacting with Luzi and each other.

What's in your hand is a long pattern of weapons. The tip has a large blade that is loosely opposed and also has a long pattern.

It is a type of long-handed weapon like Halvard and Spear, something called Grave.

In time, Grave is more advantageous, and the weight of the blow is more advantageous to Claymore for the weight of the weapon being won.

There was a grin on Luzi's face for some reason in a place where such a battle was taking place.

Also, that's not just Luzi. Opponent Regularta is grinning, as is Luzzi.

"Doraaah!

Shake the claymore Luzzi held with both hands.

"I won't let you!

Regulta takes it with Grave's blade.

Even if the blade and blade collide, I guess Luzzi is still higher in power. As Grave is about to be pushed in, Regulta pulls out the power of her wrist to flush Claymore's blade, and at the same time uses that movement to target Luzi's underfoot in the stone-piercing area.

"Slow down!"

Luzi reacts instantly and leaps backwards for a few minutes as he rebuilds his claymore.

Lejurta, who, arguably later on, was lightly dodged from the attack she was good at, opens her eyes small and reveals her surprise look.

Plus, I have a giggle about doing it and stuff like that, Luzi.

"My training opponents have done so many times to take advantage of this attack and pay for it underfoot. It's not that hard to deal with."

The word is true. Focus the attack on the upper body and roll out the foot payment in the stone-piercing area as if to poke through that gap.

It was a possible attack because it was a long-handed weapon, and it was Luzzi who saw Rhodos being hit many times, but when he had to do it, it was difficult to perceive and dodge it, and he was paid more than once to be a feather rolling down the ground.

That's why a series of attacks had been able to be avoided in a half-reflective manner.

"Huh, that's pretty good.... but we can't afford to lose that easy either!

Ruzi's sniffled at his tedious grin, Regularta waves a big grave.

To that blow, which also appears to be full of gaps, Luzi chooses to see how he tries to attack aggressively.

Instead of taking it at Claymore, take a few steps backwards.

However... the movement was also the aim of Regularta.

A blow of Grave passing right in front of Luzzi, making a noise.

In front of Luzi, who dropped it off, Regulta uses the momentum of a blow that shook Grave to rotate his body.

As a result, attacking Luzi is a higher-powered blow than earlier.

Its cutting-edge strikes again at Luzi, who dodged it, using the momentum that wielded Grave.

It's not just the part of Grave's blade. A number of attacks that continue to be waved one after the other, using even a stone poke to launch an attack.

It was Luzzi who kept putting Claymore up like a shield to prevent him, but he decided that he would be pushed in completely as he was, or at the next moment he would step forward half ready to be shot.

"Whoa, whoa!

Shake up the claymore with the roar, even in front of you.

"Become!"

I guess I didn't think you'd take such a means. In fact, the way Regulta has dealt with this attack, which can be described as his own back hand, was mainly because of ranged attacks such as bows and magic.

But...... that moment of confusion divided the battle.

Don't miss that gap where the attack loosened up even if it's just a little bit, and Luzi comes forward.

Of course that doesn't make it possible to avoid Grave's blow, but still, the power was definitely weakened. I guess I was also fortunate that the blow that was approaching Luzzi was not the part of Grave's blade, but the part of the pattern.

At the moment when Claymore was used as a shield to strike down that blow, and Regularta's movements stopped for a moment, he hit Regularta's torso from shoulder to shoulder with the best of his power, and with that blow Regularta's figure was bounced off the stage.

"Winner, Luzi!
