After that, I won without any particular problems.

"Apparently Lara hasn't lost either."

As she also watched Lara battle during the match, she swept down the enemy in front of her one after the other with gorgeous magic.

"Dude, that pretty girl! The mess is strong!

"I've never seen magic before!

Hmm.

Anyway, it seemed unexpected for me to see a girl like Lara winning.

"Well, that's what I expected."

It's been a long day since I started teaching Lara magic.

I'm sure even if Maries had competed in this tournament, it would have had the same result.

"Well, let's see if I can make it."

Next up is the quarterfinals.

They called me by name, and I went up to the stage.

"Gahaha! I didn't know your next opponent was Kurt!

"Desmond......?

On stage, there was a figure of Desmond holding a wooden sword and pounding his shoulder.

Needless to say, he is also a former S-rank adventurer and a teacher at the Rosanlilla School of Magic.

Desmond grinned at his mouth and went on like this.

"I want to enjoy this festival too. That sounds like an interesting tournament. That's why I joined you."

"... this was unexpected"

Scratch your head.

Sometimes the battle schedules were overcrowded, but they weren't very interested in the battles of the others, except Lara.

"Fair enough. Let's fight fast."

Make a quick call.

"What kind of attitude is that to a teacher? Seems like this needs a little education."

That said, Desmond threw a spare wooden sword at me.

Take it.

Are you trying to tell me to fight with this...

"You've been fighting Desmond since your entrance exam. How much stronger... or weaker since then?

Anyway, I've been in teacher business before.

It's not weird if your arms were dull.

That's what I said, Desmond zeroed a laugh at "Kukukuk,"

"Don't lick it. Since he came to the school of magic."

Desmond sets up a wooden sword.

"-- even stronger"

Kick the ground, Desmond's coming at me.

Hmm, that's pretty fast.

It's out of step compared to previous contestants.

I also respond with a sword in my hand against Desmond, who waves a wooden sword like a body hit.

A comeback had occurred, and Desmond's face was coming right in front of him.

"Well, if it's this one, it's gonna be reasonably enjoyable."

"There's plenty of room. Do you think they can defeat you at any time?"

"I don't know."

I pressed it with my sword and distance myself from Desmond.

Still, the speed and strength just now... it just doesn't seem to be left to physical ability.

"Sounds like you're wearing some physical strengthening magic."

When I say it, Desmond catches a nibble and a mouth angle.

"Oh, since you taught me, I've been specializing in body strengthening magic with shadows. Thanks to that --"

Desmond shook up his sword,

"The sword of Non became the speed of light (...)"

He attacked me with countless swords.

"Um, apparently not haunted"

Obviously not on the same level as Norman, who fought in the first round.

I admired the reward of the light speed sword with my sword.

"I don't know what's going on!?

"Too fast to see!

"Do battles with too high a level mean they are incomprehensible to ordinary people..."

When I listened as I did, I heard that voice from the audience.

I can't help it.

If we weren't good at combat, it wouldn't even be possible to observe what we were doing.

"Gahaha! What do you say!

Desmond says this is all he has on his sword, but he hasn't had one shortness of breath.

It's physical strengthening magic and evidence of increased endurance.

Is it true that I have been specially trained?

"But, Desmond"

He talks like this without putting a sword on it or taking it with his own sword.

"What are you doing when you're at the speed of light?

"Oh?"

Waving his sword, Desmond looked surprised.

I put magic into the sword I hold,

"If the speed of light is on your opponent, you just have to go beyond it"

After that, Desmond flashed at a speed that exceeded the light.

"Gu Hu!"

Just one slash. But it was a special blow.

Desmond is blown backwards.

It should also be noted that Desmond had not lost his temper of war, with his hands on the floor, even after taking a blow that transcended time.

"Ha, ha. After all, you are the beloved apprentice of Non. It's not funny!

Screaming, Desmond waves his sword as far as his power is concerned.

I didn't expect to get up even after taking an earlier blow.

Desmond's sword struck me (...) directly.

If this were serious, it would be that Desmond's blow, which benefited from the physical strengthening magic, would have caused him to be severed beautifully.

But.

"That's not me (...)"

My (...) figure disappears like smoke.

"Become...! This!"

I went around behind my back to Desmond, who was stunned, and I put a ton of wood sword on that neck.

"If you're on the battlefield, you're done here. Do you still want to fight?

Asking the same thing as the entrance exam, Desmond dropped the sword he had and

"... the loss of Non."

That's what drowned.

At the same time, explosive cheers wind up.

"Oddly enough, did it turn out the same as it did on that entrance exam? Not yet, either."

"That's not true. The process leading up to this point is completely different. Have a little more confidence."

"Oh, boy. I don't know which one's the teacher."

and Desmond looked distracted, exhaling.
