After breaking through the qualifying for the Sword King Festival, I shared the joy of victory with the chairman and everyone at Chiba Gakuin-and returned to the dormitory with Lear.

"Foo ... I'm a little tired ..."

I took off my shoes at the entrance and exhaled.

"Fufu, good old man. It was a big success today."

"Thanks to the support of the rear."

I put down my sword while saying so, and sat down on the sofa deeper than usual.

(It was a really dense day ...)

Today alone, nearly ten swordsmen-also fought with the talented swordsmen representing each school.

Because I never hit a soul outfit that excels at weak ranged attacks, I managed to win ...

(…… mentally tired)

The swordsman's game is a serious game.

Immediately before the start of the game, I am very enthusiastic-the thread of tension is cut at the end of the game.

You've done that almost ten times, so it's no wonder you get tired.

(A little bit ... let's take a break here ...)

I decided to close my eyes on the sofa for a short while.

Then

"--- Ne ......... are ......... Hey Allen, get up."

“…… n, ri… ri, rear ……”

If you notice, the rear was shaking my shoulder loosely.

"Well ... I'll catch a cold if I'm sleeping in such a place?"

"Oh, oh, bad ..."

It seemed that she was sleeping on the sofa without noticing.

"Hmm ...!"

If you stand up and stretch a lot to make you sleepy,

"Allen, I took a bath ... what do you want? Rice is good first?"

Peria said and tilted her neck.

Apparently, while I was sleeping a little, I was moving around in various ways.

"Thank you, Leah. That's right ... I'll do it and I'll take you from the bath."

"I see.-But it's not good to sleep in the bath, right?"

"Ah, I know."

Then I had a bath in the rear, ate her homemade ramzac-I went to bed relatively early, at nine o'clock in the evening.

"Wow ... uh ... yeah ... good night, rear ..."

"Fufu ... Good night, Allen."

My consciousness slowly disappeared into slumber while feeling the rear next to me as usual.

The next day we were greeted.

Just like yesterday, I joined the chairmen and went to the National Holy Battlefield.

The National Holy Battlefield is an important cultural property designated by the government, and it seems that it is open to the public only for the Sword King Festival and some festivals.

The stone-like building that makes you feel the history was like a weathered Vesteria amphitheater – it was dignified and dignified.

"--Well, the opening greetings are over here. Thank you for your attention."

After the greetings from the sword king's festival executive committee were over, applause was sent from the crowded seats.

From that point forward, a woman who commented on the commentary was in charge of the process.

"--Let's start today with the Sword King Festival! A fierce battle to determine the top of the swordsman school is about to begin!"

that moment.

Awesome cheers and applause, cheering on the finger flute all at once.

(…… !?)

At this time, for the first time, I felt the sound pressure.

It was such a strange feeling that my skin was shaking.

"Now, let's move on to" lottery "to decide the match card!"

That's it, the woman in the commentary holding the microphone in the front row of the audience seats took out two slightly larger boxes.

The numbers "1" and "2" are written on the surface of each box.

"The lottery method is simple and clear!" Ichi-no-Box "and" Nino-Box "contain balls with the names of the schools that have topped and finished second, respectively! Take out the balls one by one from the box-the schools listed there will play against each other! "

She briefly described how to draw lots, she rolled up her right arm and put her hand in “One Box”.

"Now, the first game to commemorate-it has suddenly started! One of the five schools is Chiba Gakuin!"

The commentary raised the ball at the top of the page, "Chiba Gakuin," and said so.

"... Is it your best?"

"Immediately ... Let's do our best"

"Well, let's do it!"

"Wow ... if possible, the third and the middle area would be nice ..."

Tension runs between us.

Then, the commentary commented on "Nino Box" with the same momentum.

"Now, from" Nino Box "-here! It's Rokka Gakuin ... ! Rokka Gakuin is intensely depleted in qualifying, and this morning it's said that" I will decline the main game " I was contacted-Chiba Gakuin won bye! This is Chiba Gakuin, it's on today! "

"You abstain ...?"

When I muttered like that, the chairman gently added an explanation from the side.

"I guess we've done everything in the qualifying group ... One or two schools every year in the main game."

"I see ... it's something like that ..."

Perhaps it was not possible to recover in one day because each battle was a fierce battle that focused on death.

If I'm thinking about that,

"Now, let's start again and start the lottery for the second game!"

For the commentary on the live commentary, we revisited "Ichi no Box" again.

"Rokuka Gakuin is currently in contact with" I will decline the main game. "There will be no bye since then! The next school has come out ... There is also one Gakuin – Hio Gakuin! "

Hioo Academy-A super-famous swordsmanship institute where Sydow and Cain belong and Ferris is the chairman.

"On the other side-this is the up-and-coming dark horse, Genkaku Gakuin, who has advanced to the Sword King Festival as early as the third year since its foundation!"

Phantom Academy, or ...

It's a name I've never heard of.

"--Now, we're about to launch" Sonboku Sen! "Hio Academy and Phantom Academy are ready! Others, please move to the special seat!"

We followed the instructions in the commentary and headed for the special grandstand.

Each of the 16 schools that participated in the main battle had a special grandstand assigned to the front row of the audience.

When we four arrive at the special grandstand dedicated to Chiba Academy,

"Well, then-we will introduce players before the game starts!"

As usual, the live commentary started introducing players.

"Io Gakuin is at the forefront-Sidou-Euclidus! A super genius swordsman who has developed a soul outfit from childhood! But… .I'm a super-problem child who entered a school and assaulted at the Daigo Holy Festival as soon as possible and suffered a month's suspension! "

Then, Shido, who was introduced, slowly went up to the stone stage.

(Even so, "The Great Five Holy Festival" ...?)

It happened just four months ago… now it seemed a long time ago.

"And then-Gage Gakuin is at the forefront of Zari-Doraal! Here is no data at hand! There is only the most recent data that D-group qualifying has won all the races! What kind of fight will he show, Zari-Draal of "Unknown" !? "

When the commentary shouts, Zari-san, dressed in a dark blue robe that seems to be the uniform of Ghost Academy, went up to the stage.

When the eyes of both were mixed and the tense air came here,

"Are you ready for both ?! Then the first battle-the beginning!"

The commentary tells the start of the game.

"Drag-in !"

At the beginning, Zari unfolded her soul, while Sidoh--with his right hand hanging his sword sloppyly--just stared at it vaguely.

"Huh oh oh oh!"

Zari's roar echoed throughout the venue, and the first battle between Hio Academy and Illusion Academy began.

And the battle was terribly unilateral.

"Ooh oh ... isn't it over? Isn't it a preparation exercise ..."

"Wow .... Monster, me ..."

Mr. Siddo did not even use her soul-she overrun Zari with her overwhelming physical ability.

"One strong ..."

It is incomparable with the previous fight.

The strength of the arm, the strength of the leg, the speed of the reaction, and the speed of the sword --- The physical ability, which is the base of swordsmanship, has improved to an "abnormal" level.

To the overwhelming difference in power, not only the venue but also the commentary on the live performances were breathtaking.

"--Huh !? I'm sorry, I'm sorry! The winner, Sidou-Euclidus! No, but ... it was a terrible game! I just lost my words and I was just superhuman. did!"

The live commentary then briefly talked about the match.

"Now, continue-let's go to the next battle!"

Then I introduced the players from both schools again-the second battle started.

After that-Contrary to most expectations, Ice King Academy was defeated by Illusion Academy (...).

"What, what, what ...?! One of the five schools and the Hio Academy lost the best 16?"

According to the commentary from the live commentary, there was a big noise in every corner of the venue.

Everyone is surprised at this unexpected result.

Mr. Siddo won an overwhelming victory in the first battle….

Follow-up battle, mid-career war, and vice shogun all won the phantom academy.

Then

"Haha! The decent swordsman is one of the first-Sido! Isn't it? I'm the only one who has to pull his feet for two and three years! Do n’t go to the ghost school, come to the phantom school!

A representative player of Genkaku Gakuin.

A man who was fighting the Vice-General, Ram-Riot, mocked Hi-O-Gakuin in a loud voice.

(This is bad ...)

I have learned one thing through summer camp with Hio Academy.

(Mr. Sido is a very visible and very friendly person ...

He's brutal but easy-going – he hasn't been silenced by insulting his friends.

Then

"... Ah?

Mr. Sido, apparently disgruntled, had the Illusion Academy approached Vice Admiral Ram.

"No, don't do it ... don't get on, Sido!"

Although the senior students of Hio Academy desperately tried to stop ...

Mr. Sido with the fire can't stop anymore.

Like pouring oil there,

"Hah !! I'll tell you many times-Io Gakuin is" incompetent sweeping! "

Peram repeatedly provoked.

"Huh .... If you die so much ... I'll kill you as you want ...! I'm going to devour-!"

At that moment-the cold of the extreme cold blew throughout the venue.

"Hahhh! I guess, one year the shaven is going to do this with me !? I'll pierce you ()!"

Thus—an unexpected out-of-place brawl has begun.
