I won the first match safely-I returned to the chairmen who were watching over the stage sleeves.

Then

"As expected, Allen-kun is wonderful!"

"It was a great kick! I fell in love!"

"Thank you very much ..."

They said so and were pleased to let go of my victory.

"Thank you"

I answered so with a smile, and then looked at the audience seats.

When she waved to the rear who was cheering for her loudly, she smiled like a large flower.

As I was doing this, the voice of the live commentary was heard.

"Who would have expected such a result !? Allen-Roaddle, maybe this tournament's" Dark Horse "...?! ---- Now, the second round," Next We will start the battle! "

The next leader of Chiba Gakuin is Senior Lilim-Tuolene.

"I'm cheering, Senior Lilim!"

"Let's take advantage of Allen-kun's good flow, Rilim!"

"I want you to do my best ..."

"Hey, hey, leave it to me!"

She said she went up to the stage with eagerness.

After that, Senior Lilim showed offense like a fiery fire, and won the second battle without danger.

And the following mid-term war-Senior Ferris managed to win victory, despite some difficulties.

Thus, the first match, the second match, and the middle match-we won all three races,

"Sword King Festival Preliminary Round A Group-One of the winners of the first round to be commemorated is one of the five schools, Chiba Gakuin! Congratulations!"

We were able to successfully win the first match between a powerful school and the reputed Werewolf Academy.

Then

"I guess we'll do it! All of these were good matches!"

"Hey, is this year's" Johnsho "Chiba Gakuin coming back?"

The audience sent a blessing and applause.

"--Now, we will have a match between Higure Gakuin and Kirishima Gakuin! For Chiba Gakuin and Werewolf Gakuin, please drop into the player waiting room!"

Then we went to the player waiting room as the live commentary progressed.

The moment I walked down the long corridor and opened the door of the waiting room.

"..."

Almost every swordsman waiting in the waiting room glanced at me.

A person who looks at this situation from the side

A person who turns his or her eyes to determine the product.

Those who gaze straight from the front without trying to hide.

(Hello, it's not my fault ...

If you feel uncomfortable in that strange situation,

"Huh, are you curious about Allen-kun?"

"Because I decorated the brilliant" Sword King Festival debut! "

"... No, it's usually ugly."

The chairmen said that and laughed lightly.

"I don't care about your eyes. Let's relax and get ready for the next game."

"……Yes, That's right"

And then-I was waiting for the start of the second round, talking with my seniors as usual and having fun.

After that, we were earnestly accumulating wins with the breaking speed.

Most matches have three wins in the first, second and middle ranks-straight wins.

Senior Lilim and Senior Feliz sometimes lost, but ...

The chairman, who will be the vice-general, has won steadily-and finally advanced to the final of Group A qualifying.

"Let's start the final game of today: Chiba Gakuin vs. Astrology Academy!"

The woman who commented on the commentary came out here and shouted the most.

"At the Sword King Festival, the top two schools in each group will participate in the main battle, so both institutes have already decided to advance to the main battle. However, do you want to break out first or even second? So hereafter, heaven and hell! "

She took a breath and continued the live commentary.

"In the main game, the school that topped the list is second in the other group! The school that broke the second rank is the first in the other group!” That is, both Chiba Academy and Astrology Academy, I would like to aim for first place! "

I heard for the first time the grouping of the main sword festival,

(I see, I can't beat this ...)

I firmly recognized the “weight” of this final.

The first place in each group will surely be in “Go Gakuin” including Hio Gakuin.

If you win, you will eventually hit Gogakuin.

But it is better to be “after” as much as possible.

(In the final round, four rounds excluding the "final round" will be completed in just one day ...)

Four games: Best 16, Best 8, Quarterfinals and Semifinals.

Naturally, every battle is a deadly battle, and the exhaustion of physical strength will be tremendous.

(In the form of "serial battle" and "tournament"-in order to avoid unnecessary wasting and injury, it is better to "go" as much as possible to hit Gogakuin ...)

If I'm thinking about that,

"Now, let's get to the player introduction!"

The live commentary has entered the annual player introduction.

"First of all, Chiba Gakuin is at the forefront – Allen-Rodol! "

And I couldn't stop my hair-I started to introduce the next player.

"Now, Astrology Academy is at the forefront-Sven-Roslik! It belongs to a rare school that originated in the southern part of Jukuken style, and has a wonderful record of winning all races so far like Allen! "

One of the swordsmen who was introduced was slowly on the stage.

Sven-Rosrick.

Long black hair on both sides.

A calm face that seems to be about three years older.

My height is almost the same as me, about 170 cm.

White fabric with yellow lines-dressed in astrological school uniform like noble clothes.

He who went up to the stage stared at this,

"-Sven-Rosrick.

She came out and asked for a handshake.

"This is it – thank you, Mr. Sven."

Hold his right hand firmly and shake hands before the game.

(Mr. Sven, you have straight eyes ... and, above all, a very polite person ...)

This seems to be a good match for feeling (...).

If I'm thinking about that,

"You ... I've been living a difficult school life ..."

Mr. Sven muttered something unclear, holding my right hand.

"……e?"

"Oh, I'm sorry ... I wonder if it's a 'by-product of soul dress' ... ?? When I grasp the other hand, what kind of life has that person ever lived? You can relive it. ''

"That kind of thing ...!?"

"Ah .... Gran Swordsman School, for example, isn't really that bad .... In such a terrible environment, it grew so well that it didn't rot so much ...?"

Mr. Sven, speaking so far, suddenly turned his face blue and shook his right hand.

"Hah, huh ...?!"

He had a large sweat on his forehead, as he was hyperventilating.

"Th-This is……"

Maybe you have relived the memories of The Prison of Time?

(If so, it did a little sorry ...)

I don't know if he had "millions of years" of experience ...

I supposedly felt terrible when I saw this reaction ...

(... I'm done)

I should have refused a word when asked about my abilities ...

"Um ... Sven, are you okay ...?"

Then, when I approach him, who turned pale,

"Hi, hey ...!? Paku, don't come ..." a monster "...!"

He said so and jumped off the stage-running furiously toward the waiting room.

"Well, uh ..."

When I was left alone on stage, I was stunned,

"... What's going on ?! Sven, who was shaking hands with Allen, suddenly escaped! Well, um ... I'd like to wait for the committee to make a decision, so please wait a moment! "

The commentary commented on that, and he left his seat once.

"..."

I was left alone on the stage-tens of thousands of eyes pierced.

"... Allen-Roaddle has something" back "after all."

"... Well, let's be scared of Sven .... I'm not going to make any mistake that I've received some" threatening "."

"No, maybe Sven's that might be" acting "?"

"What, what? ...?"

"It's a simple story ... Allen-Rodol has been offered a deal." Take the win instead of paying a lot of money. "

"Well, I see ..."

I can't hear what the audience is talking about from here ...

I felt like my bad reputation was spreading.

(Huh .... Why am I just like these eyes ...?)

If you thought "I can make a good game" ... this is it.

And when I was sighing big,

"--I'm sorry to have waited for you! Eh ... As a result of the deliberation, it was decided that Allen-Rodol would be a bye for the first battle!"

The commentary told me, saying my bye.

At that moment, the noise of the venue became even bigger.

Maybe ... the audience is not convinced of this result.

Then

"--Wow, there's an unexpected happening, but be reminded and let's get to the next battle!"

The live commentary proceeded in qualifying with a lively voice as soon as the noise of the venue was blown away.

After that, the game against Astrology Academy became intense.

In the fist battle, Senior Lilim was defeated after a fierce fight.

One-on-one, with the game returning to the starting point-In a mid-term battle, Senior Ferris managed to win a hard victory against a strong enemy.

And the remaining vice-general, the chairman picked up the victory without danger.

as a result,

"――One of the five schools has won the fierce battle of Group A-Chiba Gakuin has been decided! We appreciate your big applause!"

We broke through Group A qualifying in the first place and advanced to the sword king festival main battle.
