The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 41 - Preliminary Meeting ① -
"Whoever has the yellow bills is this way. Blue bills are that way. Each has its own quarters in that direction, so follow the directions when you get close."
"What kind of outfit is a guide?
"The surrounding Knights uniform - that's what the green clothes guys are. There's so many of them, you know."
"Whoa, kid. Which way am I supposed to go?
"You are..."
Jake had been busy organizing the venue. Jake, who was supposed to compete in the Unified Martial Arts Games from the main game, is exempt from the job, but he was driven to work quickly because of too many qualifying contestants. The entrustment was to guide the qualifying contestants to their quarters, explain tomorrow's qualifying venue, and provide security.
The number of people gathered for the qualifying round was tens of thousands. This was an unusual number of participants, however little regulation of participation was made, participants were allowed to eat and drink free for three days, and qualifying breakers were rewarded. Unified martial arts tournaments are considered just like large festivals, so many consider it meaningful to participate, but thousands are the limit, if not the norm, nonetheless.
It is undoubtedly influenced by the fact that it coincides with the Arnelia 400th Anniversary Festival, but nevertheless it is true that the guidance has not caught up with more participants than expected, at the end of the day when some of the participants are unable to enter the Inn and are beginning to live in the wild.
However, since the merchants who took advantage of the opportunity had opened stores and created temporary taverns, the lights would not go out at night, and since it was safe enough to make boarding a little chilly, the guides were beginning to wonder whether it was necessary to accommodate them in the inn.
But there is nothing we can do to make security worse, and many cases of violence have already been reported. Jake would also go into arbitration on such a scene, but I was concerned because I could imagine that my appearance and physique would not pose a threat.
"Ha, the assignment's been successfully completed, and Lisa and I were supposed to have dinner. If you want a strong side, you can call me Daron."
"Lord Jake, I have a rub over there."
"From next to what I said."
It is the young knights of the Peripheral Knights who have come to report. I can't help being in arbitration any more than I am in a position to lead, but Jake thinks that only this look is going to work better with a strong young knight up front. Jake headed to the scene where he was in the report, wondering if the more famous the Red Knight he listened to would be, the more his opponent would just retreat by name, not by his physique.
There, a few men were involved with a woman wearing a hood. I guess being here means we're all qualifying contestants, but Jake wonders why we can't keep that momentum for the real deal. If you're serious about winning, you shouldn't have time to use your powers for extras.
Jake watched for a long time. It's not a one-touch situation yet.
"Keep bumping into me. No greetings, oh?
"I think I made an apology?
"Oh, come on! Mostly what, the big one on the back!
A man tried to get his hands on a boost on his back, and the woman in the hood paid his hand. The woman's hood slipped on the clap, but everyone who was on the spot accidentally leaked a sigh. Because there were so many beauties out there that I rarely saw. The men also took a breath for a moment, and their expression turned into something inferior.
At that moment Jake was out front. The way the men intertwine is entirely to blame. As it was, it definitely went in the wrong direction.
"Don't touch my sword, Shiro"
"Did you hear that!? I'm with Shiro, this woman."
"I wonder what it's like to keep hitting people?
"What the hell is this? A normal way to apologize. So it's not enough?
The men were obsessed with their mouths. Jake cracked in the moment the woman sighed in the tone demanding something more than an apology, obviously.
"Yes, yes, that's it."
"What? What kid?
"Venue security here, let's get that rubbing done. If you can rub any more, you're gonna disqualify me for qualifying, but is that okay?
"What, this kid looks great. What the hell are you doing?
I try to argue that I'm a Temple Knight, Jake realizes I'm not dressed because I was suddenly summoned. I presented the Knights Temple Squadron Commander's crest, but when I saw it, the men laughed.
"Such a kid is the most elite squadron leader on the continent? That's impossible!
"Where did you make this, you fake! Tell me, too."
"... oh, I knew this would happen. That's why I didn't want to be born. I'll be exercising my strengths by now, okay, you guys?
"Funny, how do you exercise your powers?
The men provoked Jake, so Jake punched a sword pattern into the men's jaws without letting his hair in. He punches a blow in the dovetail, neck and face of the men who are distracted as they are. For the first time, the men pulled out their swords when the number of men dropped from seven to three, but that's not how the situation once fixed covers up.
Recently Jake, who practices swords with Aristotle, put his sword away when he quickly took control of the men and spoke to the knight who remained stunned behind him.
