Finally, the martial arts tournament is approaching.
Almark, in his morning practice, encouraged Morgen and the two of them, away from everyone else, to a secret special training.
Nelson torqued and Leido and Galein were four, each of them practicing.
Torque never lost to Nelson hanging on his pride.
But still, it's no longer easy to win, for once and so much so that the two of us even met from the beginning to the end of practice time, and at the end of the day Torque finally won.
And after school, Almark practises the magic of fog under Illmis.
When that's over and you leave the magic practice field by the time it's completely dark, you'll be more or less with Wendy, who has left the martial arts field. Leila doesn't want to be next to it.
Leila just talks to Wendy when she comes home with her and hardly even looks at Almark.
One time, just once,
"Well, the Nelsons are going to win."
I've heard that Almark,
"Oh. I'm sure we'll win."
And I nodded, and yes, I answered softly, saying nothing more.
One day back, when Almark and Wendy were walking down the road to the dorm, Wendy spilled that she couldn't beat Layla lately.
"We were almost one another before, but it seems like Layla got some knack lately and we can barely win"
"Didn't Leila have a hard time breaking her half posture?
"Yeah, yeah."
Nod and Wendy rounds her eyes.
"How do you know?
'Cause that's how I advised you.
"Eh!"
Wendy raises her voice.
"Did Almark teach you?
"Before, when we went home together, we just talked a little bit."
Almark nods.
"Only Leila is sloppy"
Wendy stares lightly at Almark.
"Even I want you to tell me."
Almark laughs.
"It's not that sloppy or anything."
"'Cause you don't always talk like that when you go home with me"
"No, that's"
Almark mumbles.
I'm ashamed to say that because I enjoy talking to Wendy about no other love.
"Is that, what?
"Wendy is too honest in the way he fights."
Almark answered in a slight panic.
"Do what they don't like. I'm sure you'll win."
"What they don't like..."
Wendy frowns.
"What exactly?
"Think about something you don't like when you get hit in a game. You just have to keep it with them."
"Something I hate about being hit"
Wendy looks difficult and shuts up.
The two of them walk silently as they are for a while.
Sakukukuku and only two footsteps treading on the ground sounded.
Eventually, Wendy laughed and shook her head like she'd given up.
"It's tiring to think about what people don't like."
Then, whine like a solitaire.
"After all, I enjoy talking to Almark about nothing"
As the martial arts tournament days approached, the appearance of the guards gradually became more prominent on the College's premises.
Looks like a bunch of soldiers from outside, single-handedly going around the college and discussing it while checking the location.
When Almark told the story during the morning practice, the torque snapped.
"The royal family just suddenly comes on the day of the tournament. Much less. This is how the guards have always been prepared to welcome the royal family."
"Is that what you mean? That's right."
Almark nods.
"That's why the king is coming. I'll be ready for that."
That's what Nelson nods too.
"Wow, I can't believe the king came all this way to see our game."
and Morgen.
"It would feel good to win in front of the king."
says Reido as well.
"Well, royalty doesn't mean it's His Majesty who's coming to see us."
Everyone on the spot looks back to Torque's words.
"Hey, what's up?"
Suddenly a little torque wandering through everyone's gaze.
"... Isn't the king coming?
Morgen asks terribly.
"I heard the king is coming, I am."
and Nelson.
"Wendy was saying. The king is coming."
said Almark,
"Wendy and Torque would be Wendy"
and Reido snorts too.
"I don't know you guys."
See the Almarks as Torque made a fool out of his heart.
"I'm coming. His Majesty the King is coming. But there's no way we're gonna come to the Primary Games."
Hearing that, we're all just going to be pokans.
Torque hits his tongue like a snuggle.
"Oh, no! Your Majesty the King has decided to go see the most flashy High Authority games! Someone from another royal family is coming to us. I don't know who it is."
"Er!?"
Everyone, including Galein and Deg, speaks out of dismay.
"You're not the king! I'm so proud of my mom and dad! Who's the royal family?
"You didn't hear that..."
"Oh no... you're not the king? My martial arts tournament is over."
Torque looks troublesome looking at the blurry Almarks.
"If you don't practice, I'm going home."
"Ugh, torque! You know how I feel! This anger, I'm gonna hit you!
Nelson screams and sticks to the torque.
"I have no choice. Let's practice too."
Almark speaks to the Raidows.
It's what Wendy says, so I had peppered him without even thinking deeply about it, but on second thought, what Torque says is a natural story.
It would be the king to come, but someone else, but it's no different to do it.
Win three sets.
That's all.
"I'll do it, Morgen"
"Yeah."
I can see a little bit of strength coming back into Morgen's eyes that snort.
Evidence of the results of the training.
Almost there.
Almark thought.
I wonder if I'll make it.
Two days until the martial arts tournament.
