Mr. Claude, who suddenly transferred to Chiba Gakuin, called me “Dogworm” for the first time in about six months.

Apparently the flow of time has inflated my bad feelings ...

And when I was smiling,

"'Shoujo swordsman' ...? But it's a man's uniform ...?"

"Or cool!"

The boy tilted his head and the girl cheered yellow.

Apparently, Claude seems to be of the same sex.

After that, Professor Leia coughed one thing and caught everyone's attention.

"--As I mentioned earlier, Claude is an elite swordsman from the famous Royal Academy of Vasterias. Her sharpened swordsmanship will surely inspire you. Make your student life more meaningful! "

That's when the teacher put together the story

"Now it's Claude's seat .... I've got it behind Allen. For now, sit down there."

You have selected a seat that is not very good.

"Wow, that's not bad ..."

Claude smiled grinly and sat down to the back of me.

(Kyo, I feel a strong gaze ...

I knew without looking back that she was staring at my back.

Then

"Cho, a little Claude! Why are you at Chiba Academy?"

Leah asked a good question.

Why did Claude transfer to Chiba Academy?

I was just worried about it.

(Did you know about that matter?)

A few months ago, Lear was kidnapped by members of a black organization-Zak Bombard and Thor-Sammons.

With some information from Mr. Rize, he managed to rescue the rear ...

A big incident in which a princess of a country is taken away-Of course, it was expected that there would be a big protest from the kingdom of Vesteria.

But at that time it was somehow eeriely quiet.

(... I can only imagine this.)

After hearing Pia, Her Majesty Gris-Vesteria is trying to force her back.

(It's most natural to think so ...)

But then ... I don't understand why Claude was transferred to Chiba Gakuin.

First, the Kingdom of Vesteria is a powerful country that ranks among the five great nations.

It's hard to imagine that I just heard the incident a few months ago.

(I don't know as much as I think ... What did she come to do ...?)

When I was struggling, Claude opened his mouth a little hesitant.

"... of course, to check the state of the rear (...)"

“…… !?

I was convinced by the current answer, and Lear immediately cut off the story.

(... rear state?)

What is it ……

And when I tilt my neck,

"--Okay, let's start a limited class immediately! Today is basic strength training! Today we will focus on the lower body and physical strength, so be prepared!

Mr. Leia said so in a loud, loud voice.

Then, the students in Group A moved to the schoolyard to take a limited class.

About three hours after that, the strength training class, which was conducted in one and two sessions, was over.

"Wow ... I really like winter training."

The cool breeze hits the hot body and makes me feel very comfortable.

And when I was having a pleasant time after training,

"Huh, if you got Allen ... it's not just winter, right?"

Peria said so and smiled happily.

"Ah, yes."

Sure, I was talking about that a while ago …….

When you try to go to the classroom while remembering a little old story.

"--Love, finally, lunch break!"

Mr. Claude, with an evil smile, grabbed my shoulder firmly.

"Eh, uh ... what happened ...?"

Somehow, but ... I had a bad feeling.

"No, I don't want to rub one."

"What do you say ...?"

"Huh, don't let everyone say. The last humiliation-I'll do it here!"

Mr. Claude said so, pulled out his sword, and pointed his cutting edge here.

"... it's quite sudden."

Although it is a development that I expected somehow ...

(No way to wait for after school and set up for lunch break ...)

And when I secretly sighed a little,

"――Oh, hey, that transfer student, really ?! I suddenly sold a fight to Allen !?"

"He ... I'm going to die ... ??! It's really reckless ...?!"

"But did Claude attend the best swordsmanship school in Vesteria?-Maybe he might ..."

Everyone in the class was curious and uttered their thoughts.

(……troubled)

To be clear, I'm not at all nervous.

I'm pretty positive about exchanging swords with Claude ...

The time zone is bad.

Speaking of lunch break, there is a regular meeting of the student council.

(Maybe just try it ...)

It is easy to imagine that the chairman will be as sick as a child again, and that will be annoying anymore.

"That, Claude ...? --If you like, after school--"

"--It is useless"

"Is that so……"

I was rejected before I could say everything.

Apparently you will not miss anything.

"... I understand. Let's do it."

When I accepted the challenge from Claude,

"――Allen, don't overdo it. Take care to avoid serious injury?"

Peria said, Claude thought a little worried.

"That's right ..."

Claude is terribly strong.

You are not a half-hearted opponent so you can beat and beat.

"Ri, rear-sama !? If I take the back twice again against such a beetle !?"

"Eh, um .... Well, after all, Allen is strong ...?"

Peria smiled bitterly, and apologized cutely, "Sorry."

"Ku ... hey, you ... it looks like you've dropped Lear too much ...!"

"No, no, no, I don't drop it ..."

I'm just being troubled by rumors with no roots and no leaves ...

I dropped the princess of the Vesteria kingdom-don't let that joke be heard.

"Huh, huh, huh ... huh! I guess it would be okay ... then I'm gonna do it-apply for a duel!"

"...?!?"

Not duel or match, but duel.

That means-a serious game in which the swordsman prides himself, fighting against each other's conditions.

"If I lose, I'll hear one thing you say. But if you lose, I'll hear one of my orders!"

Mr. Claude said so seriously.

(Once, as a condition, it is fifty-fifty.)

However, you need to make sure only one.

"I'll tell you earlier ... I can't really hear such a ridiculous order, like" kill someone "or" don't get involved in the rear. "

"Well, don't worry. My ( ) orders ( ) are in the category of common sense.

Apparently she seems to have already decided on the contents of the “order”.

"... I understand, it's good"

The next moment I accepted her duel,

"Now, the duel is formed .... tsu! Breathing (Ibu)-Inorganic Army (Abio Troup)!"

She suddenly unfolded her soul.

The terrible fighting spirit burning in his eyes was clearly understood from a distance.

"Foo ..."

I slowly pull out the sword and take a straight eye.

(It's been about half a year since we exchanged swords with Claude in Vesteria ...)

Depending on your thinking ... this might be a good opportunity.

Let's try out how strong I have been in the last six months.

"Well, let's go-Allen-Rordle!"

"Oh, come on!"

Thus, Claude's and me's betting on each other's pride has begun.
