Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

By order of instructor Joseph, the students flocked to a box with swords in it.

Students pull out their swords one after the other.

Forecasting a slight decrease in the number of students in the flock, I head to get my sword, too.

"Hmm? Are there some different types?"

Some of the boxes contained different sizes, thicknesses, and shapes of the body.

"It's normal, okay..."

There's no such thing as a good kind of sword.

…………

All right, let's do this.

Is this... what you call a long sword?

Grip the pattern and pull through.

"... Mm"

Though the blade was machined so that it could not be cut, it did not have a firm weight.

I see, is this the real sword thing......

Though it's for the game, there's something very impressive about it.

I thought spears would be cool earlier (though I think they're actually cool), but the boys are still fatally carrying the feeling of thinking of the sword as' cool '......

While I'm at it, I can't tell you how great this country is.

And someone slapped me on the shoulder.

Turning around, there was Cecily smiling.

"Let it go, Mr. Cecily?

"Look, your elbows are stretched, right?

"Hih!?

She rubbed her shoulder.

"Hehe... shoulder strength, missing?

"Uh... yes"

Or so I said, my heart is bucking-backed, not quite.

I mean, the smell around me suddenly turned into a nice smell!

Yeah, but I didn't know you could worship Cecily in her athletic clothes this close...!

Thank you, God!

Glad you're alive!

"Your name... Krohiko, was it?

"Oh, yes."

"Then let me introduce myself again, Crohiko. I am Cecily Arklite. Best wishes for the next year"

Cecily bows small with her thin hands on that well-sized milk.

Ugh... I can't believe you deliberately re-introduced yourself to me like this...

Master Cecily had an angelic heart.

I mean...

You look great in that athletic outfit, the archangel class!

I wanted to say... but I just couldn't.

Yeah.

Exactly, right?

"Welcome, thank you!

In the end, I give it back normally.

Then Mr. Cecily tilted his little neck slightly,

"Yes, good luck to each other"

and laughed and said to me.

"Ha, ha."

It was a moment of angel resurrection.

Oh... I'm so glad we're in the same group as this guy...

When I was stuck, Mr. Cecily pulled a slender sword out of the box.

Is that it?

When I met him yesterday, I felt he was fighting with two swords...

"Hey, Master Cecily! Come back here soon!"

Seeing, a rear filled female student was waving to Mr. Cecily and calling.

"hehe...... I'll see you later"

Leaving a smile, Mr. Cecily returned to the surrounding circle.

... Mr. Sieg, as usual, I'm going to be busy huddling with students swarming with Mr. Cecily.

Popular people are tough.

That's why, with our swords in our hands, we naturally took the form of turning our backs on the walls of the squad yard and circling around the center.

So, I was sitting alone between the five instructors and a few classmates who were holding back beside me.

…………

Hmm, the man who came late, it's a sign he's just about to be a botch.

Mr. Cecily is basically protected by Siegwall and surrounding tornadoes......

"Hmm?"

Just on the wall opposite me, I saw Mr. Currier standing.

She has the same long sword as I do, standing flat.

Sort of.

Hmm.

Is it just me and Mr. Currier who are obviously botched in this group......

But Mr. Currier stays away from me. Though I can't help it because he's emitting an aura... oh, I...?

…………

Come on!

Is this the harm of enrolling two days late......!

Something seems to have just solidified in a friendly group.

Makina said, 'I think you'll get some attention,' but the theory is that my ton demo setting works very little as a featured material because the lions have a distinguished talent named Cecily or Currier...

Ugh, I wonder if Botch life will start again.

Will history repeat itself?

Come on.

No... not yet!

You're gonna be so frustrated here!

I'm gonna make it!

Can you be depressed here!

Let's do it. Whoa!

How windy I am to be alone, when instructor Joseph confirms that the sword is over in everyone's hands,

"Now let's start a mock match! Whoever thinks I am, name it - go ahead!

I said.

The students are confused.

Yes, the first hand is, hey...

and that instructor Joseph,

"Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention one thing,"

Adding that, the names of the three students were spoken in turn.

"Fiburg Marrow, Isla Horn and Cecily Arklite. For the three or more, the mock match shall be the last. And these three opponents are Joseph Bagan - I mean, I'm in charge. So now the three called names, so that they wait until the other students are finished"

Oh, and the students groan.

Follow ahead of the students' gaze.

Fiburg - Toto Ma Lu was arm-wrapped while on.

It feels like 'duh duh'.

So, the red-haired girl student wearing those earrings, is she a person named Ira...

... Ah, that's so cute.

And when it came to our Mr. Cecily, there was no particular breeze, and he remained a cool expression.

It's also nice not to put this kind of thing on your nose......

Ma Lu.

Ira Horn.

Cecily Arklite.

Apparently, these three are the Lions' most prestigious prowess.

Hmm, I'm a little uncomfortable with Ma Lu being a powerful man, but I guess it's such a handful, as instructor Joseph would say.

And

Then I'll go.

The first one named himself, and a ranking mock match began.

Since the start of the ranking mock match, just ten games have ended.

At that point, the instructor who is the other person takes turns.

There are fifty lions in all.

Forty-seven, with the exception of three powerful men from whom Teacher Joseph opponents.

In other words, five instructors deal with nine to ten students per person.

And the 11th mock game begins.

…………

Steady, guys, you're being sama...

I don't know, I'm fighting normally.

I've seen it in Western films in the Middle Ages and recent times, scenes like that.

View the sword at hand.

... Me, I wonder if you're okay?

Ugh, I'm getting nervous.

"Freshmen of the year, what do you think?

"Right..."

Oh.

The instructors waiting by the side have begun to talk about something interesting.

I turned to the instructors for a moment.

"First of all, we have all the talent in this lion set, Dantotsu"

The instructor who said so gives a glimpse of the two students in turn.

"Honestly, just those two are too much."

"To Fiburg Marrow, son of the Marquis of Marrow, Isla Horn of the Horn family... for sure. We both have a reputation for high sword arms."

"But this group of lions... still can't talk without Cecily Arklite"

"... right"

"When I first found out that Cecily Arklite was going to be enrolled in this school, it was on her subject for a while."

"That's right. My grandfather is now the swordsmanship guide of the Holy King, and my brother is the vice president of the Knights of the Holy Tree...... plus Miss Cecily herself is admired by those two for being talented enough to outdo ourselves. It's stranger not to talk about it."

I've heard the same thing before, but you're still an amazing Mr. Cecily......

"Above all, that beauty."

"Right."

"Me too, if I were a little younger..."

"... No, you can't"

... the instructors, too, are men after all.

"Well, anyway, if there are three talented students in a school year, they say it's your word, but this year the Twin Snakes and the Stars have promising stocks as well"

Right, Gummy?

Hordes?

…………

Oh, is that the other set of names?

Well, how many sets of classes are there in total?

"Ho. So there are five promising stocks as of now?"

"Three of them are lions. No, but they're gonna pay attention."

Hmm.

The Lions were, in a way, an elite class.

"The Rookies are looking forward to the results of this year's Holy Site attack."

…………

"Hmm? What's up?

"Ah... no, I'm sorry"

"What? What were you looking at?

"... was watching Miss Cecily"

"Hey."

"Because..."

"'Cause you're not, you know... I know how you feel."

The mock game continued even as I listened to the conversations of such instructors.

Wow, what do I do...

Someday, my turn will come, won't it?

And when I realized, it was just me and Mr. Currier who weren't playing the mock game.

"Is there anyone who hasn't played the game yet?

A female instructor with glasses speaks to the students.

…………

All right.

Let's go.

I got up and stepped forward.

"It's Sora Kurohiko!

Yeah, be it.

Looking good, lay down your sword.

"Nice to meet you!
