The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 121 - Unified Martial Arts Games WWII, Jake vs Milnay ① -
It is Jake who has climbed the arena in the second round of this battle.
"Jayku! Come on!
"Mr. Jake! Good luck!
Jake's entry into the Unified Martial Arts Games is something that the Rascals already know. Besides his usual companions, Jake's associates cheered on him in numerous ways, including classmates who heard about Jake's work, those involved in the surrounding Knights, and fellow Temple Knights. Some of them include the face of Jaeger.
Jake goes in and out of Jaeger from time to time in the process of dating Lisa. In the middle of all this, Jaeger, naturally, had a facial acquaintance as well. It is originally a character I would not shy away from. I would be an older mercenary, but that attitude of not cowering was liked for the price.
Seeing such a support group, Gass, an obedient knight, was once again surprised.
"I know, but he's got a lot of friends."
"Hmm, naturally. Helps weakness, screws strength. Because he's a boy like a knight's sample."
So, you're the big nobleman's maid, and you're the one who gets frustrated.
"Ha? You're such an idiot!... That's not true, is it?
Dute Hilde asked his surroundings for their consent, but Rascal whistled wildly, so pathetically Dute Hilde wolfed beside him. Gass looks funny when she sees it, and she leaks a sneaky laugh when she comes.
"No, I'm sorry. I was just kidding. You don't imitate him like he screws his alumni. 'Cause he's a good guy."
"Oh, you're right! That's Mr. Jake's squire, you know that."
"Well."
It's been quite a while since Gass came to Arnelia as an obedient knight. Now I have a clear grasp of Jake's personality and friendship, but to the best of Gass's knowledge, it was a really pleasant gathering of people. I guess Jake's personality is letting that happen, but the light fills Jake's walking distance and surroundings. Gas is getting that impression.
Gass couldn't help but mock herself for what she was until now living a life full of deception and betrayal in Tarram. Of course I knew poverty was letting that happen, but Gas is even starting to think now that it's his mission to figure out where this difference comes from and how it can go away.
At the same time, I began to think that it was my job to protect him from the shadows that were supposed to thicken because he was Jake in a place where the light was strong. In any place, there are those who are jealous of those who succeed or pull their legs. Finding that possibility and Gass crushing it first would allow Jake to stay more meaningful.
Gass also thinks that it's not like Jake can't handle such an arrangement. But it would be ridiculous to devote time and effort, and Jake also felt he needed someone by his side to take on a dirty job again. Not that Jake had clearly told Gus, but that Gus was silently understanding and fulfilling his role.
I guess the best understander in that sense right now is Gas more than Lisa on the job. Gass was also often beside Jake again, making him feel like he had no other Jake trait.
"(Jake is a normal knight when humans are opponents. But as soon as the demon becomes his opponent, the way he fights gets harsher. The Temple Knights seem to think of Jake as having the characteristics of a Holy Knight - but from what I've looked at, a Holy Knight is a battle characteristic of evil spirit specialization. But Jake's, it also looks like it's being played out against a regular demon opponent.
Jake seems to be noticing again, but he's not self-contained. Anyway, I'm afraid the force is unstable. If you can't use your powers when you meet a strong enemy, you're dead. Conversely, when the conditions are in place, I don't think so, but my classmate's practice may also show strength.
That would be very dangerous, but what does Jake have in mind around him or his boss?
Gas' concerns had gained purpose. Miriazal also wanted to identify Jake's power and enrolled him in this martial arts tournament. How strong is Jake versus man for one thing? Even if it is not yet a boundary between life and death, will the power be exerted if it is hunted down? In many ways, Jake was in a very prominent position.
And if you win, you win with Alphilis. I was also concerned about how to fight the Alpha Reese opponents, Miriazal and others from now on. Jake at the time had a bad feeling about the opponent in front of him.
"(This guy... human, right?
Opponents are Milnay. He is a person who once volunteered for Jaeger and whom Alphilis has referred to firing directly.
Mercenaries are free to quit if the conditions are not right, and they remain dismissed. Besides, the person Alphilis fired naturally doesn't stay in Milnay either. Milnay was the only one who was excluded as "likely to have problems in the future", although there were a large number of those who had caused problems and were dismissed, who had left themselves.
Milnay acted with resentment for it, but once he lost to Alphilis on the battlefield, his reputation as a mercenary was lost after he failed in numerous jobs. They followed the worst of the worst: they were then sent to the whorehouse of Tarram in debt, and they were sent to the whorehouse in even worse conditions because they were sick, and they were picked up by the phrase Doom.
Milnay gained far stronger power than before due to Doom's 'treatment' instead of recovery, but at the price of that, some of his hair lost color, one of his eyes was cloudy and one of his skin was ugly with side effects. Milnay, however, does not distort while distorting. strong hatred of Alphilis, which is the only thing underpinning Milnay.
Milnay is also a strong resentment towards Alphilis, as is Alphalis, but what is decidedly different from Alphalis is its strong desire to make everyone involved in Alphilis unhappy. Upon confirming that Jake's support group had someone who looked like a Jaeger associate, Milnay stood in front of him and looked at Jake as if he saw him as a vendetta.
A chill ran on Jake's spine, but instinct told him it wasn't chills after an unusual killer.
You... "
"You will not be called. This one's older. Use your respects, kid."
"I'm sorry, this is the tone I used to have when I was older. Better than that, you got a bloody eye, huh? Lack of sleep?"
Jake bumped into mere doubts about Milnay, but apparently he was received as provocative. When the blue muscle floated on Milnay's forehead, his mouth was nibbly distorted.
"Sounds like fun, kid. Can you scream good at best?
"You don't have to scream or make me scream. Just win and go next."
The two of you who distance that word once and for all. And the signal of judgment was given.
