The Branded Female Fencer

"Grandpa, what are the odds?

"You know what? I used to be a man on the clouds. A knight is your opponent, right? I wasn't in a position for a kid like me to work with me like that. I've been roughly puffed up a couple of times."

"You look weak. I don't think so."

And Lexus is about to say, Lexus realizes that the hot air is rising from Betts' back. Temperatures can't be said to be cold, normally they are not the kind of temperatures where hot air rises. This is proof that Betts has been well prepared, and also because his back looks bigger around the corner, he can see that his muscles are bulging.

"(- Nah, aren't you willing to win, Grandpa? Besides, what would Valsas say if I didn't mean it in the right way)"

"Okay, let's go. I hope the difference is narrowing slightly."

That's what I'm talking about.

Lexus, who was usually loud, also sent out a lot of them without talking and gently tapping Betts on the back. On the opposite Diore side, the knights around them wish Diore well and victory.

"Good luck, Dear Diore"

"Always win that hand."

"Hehe, I don't know if I'm bound to win. Everyone is desperate for victory, and the battlefield is something we don't always know what will happen."

"Be modest. I can only count enough in my Alexandria, such as those who can beat you only by sword from the front. General Changsheng's name is not Dade."

Diore laughed all the time at the evaluation of his men.

"I'm not always a winner, I'm just good at not losing. Besides, sword moves are no big deal. Every day I see a lot of talented people at this tournament and I grind their teeth."

"That's not true."

"Don't overestimate me too much, it clouds your eyes. I am nothing but a samurai. Just..."

"Just?"

"Because of my lack of genius, I am confident that I have worked harder than anyone else. Don't worry, you won't lose that easily. I don't care who they are."

What appeases Diore's words are those who have been running with her on the battlefield for many years. Diore never says anything big. I will not be unduly humble, but I will not boast of my own merit or strength. Now there is no man out in Alexandria to the right of Diore with the arm of the sword, and the sorcery is not to mention.

However, as Diore says, everyone has been concerned about what happens in situations where witchcraft cannot be used. Diore, the spiritual knight of the earth, boasts an unusual arm strength, but his physique itself is close to a little girl, even for adults. I don't even think I'm as good at my arms as I am at losing my witchcraft aide. Of course, I can't doubt the strength of winning so far, but the other knights of Alexandria have so many strong men in this Unified Martial Arts Games that they can't win. I still can't wipe my anxiety somewhere because each of us had felt the battle so far with our skin?

When Diore climbed onto the arena rocking the twin tails, Ultina was waiting there as a referee. I still don't see the other masked swordsman. Ultina gives Diore a gentle thank you.

"You look great here."

"Thank you. But can I make a statement that the referee puts in his shoulder?

"I won't put my shoulders in judgment. More than that, as one of the most successful women in the world, I just personally respect you."

"Success. I don't think it's that simple. Besides, if it's the most successful woman, do you think Lord Alphilis will come in?

To Diore's remarks, Ultina tilted her neck.

"Mercenaries succeed? I don't know what you mean."

"Heh, I guess that's still the perception. Few will understand what Alphilis is now making, and what it means to make it from now on.

But her time is bound to come. There are still many who praise me, but times change. You should keep an eye on her trends. I'm not going to be left out of time, either. "

"Huh..."

Ultina was listening to Diore with a face she said she still didn't quite understand, but while she was doing so, the opponent's masked swordsman moved up the stage. Here the audience bothered again. For Betts, the swordsman of the mask, removed his mask and came up barefaced. It wasn't just that, it was wrapped around a coat in black that was a testament to the Blackhawk.

There were many spectators to this, and officers running over from Games headquarters were handing Ultina paper. Ultina took a look at it, too. Diore was the only one who was at peace and spoke to Betts with a calm look.

"Did you expose your face? You think I'm ready for that?

"When you're ready, when you have a mask, your horizons are narrow."

"You're back to being like a kid, aren't you?

"Well, anyone would be a kid if it were you. It's just, you know, today's kid might be a little strong, right?

"Ho, let's look forward to it"

When Diore laughed thinly, the two distanced themselves without listening to the advice of the referee. Packing up more time, he was so murderous that the cut seemed to have begun.

Ultina is hastily handed over and reads out what was written on the paper.
