The Branded Female Fencer

City of Pleasure, Part 74 - In the Arena at Tarram

"Captain, this may be a stupid question."

"I don't know, Seite"

Before the game, Seite before heading to the venue had caught Alphilis asking. His eyes were only calm, and he saw no hostility toward Alphilis, or the extra exaltation before the battle.

Again, I think Alphilis is right that he still chose Seite. But Seite at the time didn't seem to.

"Are you glad it was me? I think Yao and Nia are better suited."

"Maybe if you're just going to win. I'm gonna want more than that."

"I'm not sure what you're talking about."

"Fight and you'll see. Besides, they're strong enemies. I'm not a fighter on the stage. Do you need information?

"No, I don't want it. There is less information about the opponent on the battlefield. I'll handle it on an ad hoc basis."

"You're reliable."

When Alphilis grinned, he dropped off Seite. Seite also didn't ask for anything extra. I believe it is the duty of the military to obey the superiors when it comes to obedience, but Seite thinks that Alphilis is not the only commander who acts with some intent. Even if she didn't know what the intentions were, Seite realized that it was in a sort of exhilaration that she could help complete her paintings. I still don't know if I can respect it, but I don't think it's a bad idea to get on with her proposal.

Seite was also less hesitant to wield his powers. I know it is the duty of the powerful to exercise their power. Seite herself was beginning to believe that if she didn't even wield her powers the wrong way, it wouldn't be a strange result. And I also want to try to sharpen and enhance this power more.

Seite was starting to walk into the arena. I might not be allowed to climb into a place like this if I were supposed to be a Groussard soldier, but now I felt like I could make an excuse. In time, while thinking that this could also be a joke, etc. And what a beast he was when he confronted him over the arena. A white hairy wolf whose left eye is crushed by a wound. That was Seite's opponent.

The beast man, about two times bigger than Seite, seemed to have eaten his face for a moment when he saw Seite, but then he laughed ferociously.

"Well, is there a beast man over there too? And the same species. Jaeger is a versatile mercenary regiment, isn't he, Oi?

"That's this dialogue. I didn't know the fighters had beasts. Were you kicked off by a beating?

"Ha! Funny joke. Well, I like doing it. Gold in the world. Gold, gold, gold! Nothing beats this. You're a dickhead, too, Gruzaldo. Quit, come here. As long as I have the money, I can hold whatever food I want and any good woman I want. That's all right. I don't need to be driven out to the southern battlefield or foolishly dawn into training."

"... what happened to your pride as an animal man?

When Seite asked without hiding his frustration, he told him to throw up.

"Mmm, just throw it away. Proud. Then you can't do anything!

"I see, I get it. You don't even need the kindness of the beast man. I'm Seite. Let's hear your name before we knock you out."

"It's Cayman. Oh, come on. Don't look at me. Please be gentle."

"Be careful with your private language before the battle!

Stopped by the referee, Cayman was just raising his hand that he knew as he niggered. Seite was even more annoyed by the joke, but here the meaning of the words of Alphilis was also understood by Seite.

"(I see, you got it, Captain? Maybe this is someone I should fight for. And with a light tone, it seems strong enough that it's unlikely to be able to relieve itself. The captain is also a bad person. We have to do everything we can in public.)"

Seite, as troubled as he was, and laughing joyfully, was stepping at all costs with the signal of initiation: 20 steps filled a certain distance with two steps, while at the same time releasing a twisted positive fist across his opponent.

"Whoa!?

The audience and Cayman reacted the same, but the audience didn't see anything, while Cayman was really gently twisting his body away from his fist and at the same time turning to the side to disintegrate Seite. Seite avoided the back fist flying where he collapsed with a foot payment as he spun forward, putting the kick down instead. But before that, he took the opposite blow, and the kick was cutting off the sky.

Fortunately, I didn't bear much pain, but I knew exactly what the other person's power was. The audience thrives on the hunch of a good battle.

"It's dangerous! You accidentally fought back with your bare hands!

"Why were you going to fight back?

"Well, here it is!

Cayman was taking out a nunchuck in the back hand. However, the size is adjusted for beasts. A blue muscle runs on Seite's forehead watching him wield a nunchuck. Seite felt her own blood boil.

"You... threw your own fangs and nails away and took your weapon, did you fall that far!

"Let me do that for you, too! I'm not a Gruzaldo soldier!

Cayman storms in with his tongue nodding. Seite tried to take that blow without defense. That's all I was angry about. When I got it, an unexpected shock was echoing Seite's temples at the time he tried to return a blow. I don't understand anything and Seite's consciousness becomes instantly blank.

Just for a moment. But the beast man, one of the race that makes speed a creed, will take his life. Cayman's all-powerful mid-level kick was hitting Seite's belly.
