Nelson, who was waiting for Almark and Wendy to come, smiles at them.
"Let's do it today. Hey, Almark."
"Oh. Let's do it"
Almark makes a noise by aligning his right hand with Nelson's offered right hand.
Morgen, how's the nervousness?
"Ugh, yeah. Fair enough."
The complexion of Morgen, who answers that, is still not very good.
"Wendy."
Almark looks back at Wendy.
Wendy nods, smiles and speaks to Morgen.
"You know, Morgen. I think this is a special day, so I'm nervous."
"Huh?"
Morgen makes it right.
Even listening to Wendy explain, Morgen looked like he'd figured it out.
"Today, it's nothing. It's just a day... I see"
"Eh."
Wendy looks a little troubled, but Morgen nodded surprisingly forcefully.
"It's alright, because Wendy's feelings have been conveyed"
"Come on, let's go inside now"
Encouraged by Nelson, the Almarks head to the Martial Arts Army's modest room.
All the students who were already scheduled to compete were in the modest room, which was appreciated for three years and two sets.
"That, we're the last?
As Wendy raised her voice, the torque sitting in the corner raised her mouth ironically.
"You both came a lot more relaxed, as usual. You can afford it."
"It's not like that..."
That's what I'm going to tell Wendy, and Layla speaks up.
"Wendy, I need you to deal with some practice. May I?"
"Oh, yeah."
Leila already has eyes for a collision stance.
"I knew Rosfilia was coming out for me."
"Oh, I knew it"
That's what Wendy says and keeps an eye out.
The second most talented woman of the school year, three pairs of rosfilia.
Even on her way home from practice from the martial arts field, Leila was always concerned about her trends.
"I never want to lose. Wendy, please."
"Yeah. It's okay."
Wendy also looks into Layla's eyes and nods forcefully.
"You'll be wearing protective gear soon."
The two women are already about to start practicing. When I look at him, I get a fever for the boys.
"The Torques are ahead of the game, right?"
Deg nods at Almark's words.
"First pair vs. two pairs"
Next, one pair versus three. Almarks' two versus three pairs are the last.
"Right. Then I'll help you too. Torque!"
Almark quickly wears his protective gear and speaks to the torque.
"You have a body. I'll deal with him."
"Okay."
Torque stands up without saying anything unusual or extra. I'm already wearing protective gear.
"Are you nervous, Torque"
"Say silly."
Torque snorts.
"I told you before. I don't see these games in my eyes."
Saying, lay down your sword.
"Just well, there are times in the world just in case"
"Eh."
"What the fuck?"
"No, it's nothing"
Almark stood up his sword, biting off a laugh.
Late fall two years ago.
Words my father Reyes uttered when sending Almark on a journey.
"Sometimes the world is just in case."
That's what my father said, he gave me his mother's pendant.
It was kind of funny that Torque accidentally uttered the same word as that.
"Right, you're right. There are times in the world just in case. We have to get ready."
"Are you kidding me?"
"I didn't, I didn't"
Each of the Almarks made a pair and moved their bodies.
As I said myself, I don't see any extra hardness in the torque.
Torque himself must have improved considerably thanks to Nelson and his daily rivalry with each other. Though he would never admit that he owes Nelson anything.
After a while, Bowen, a martial arts instructor, came in.
I look around the armoury.
"All right, you've got two pairs all together. The guests will be here soon. As soon as that happens, it's the opening ceremony. We'll wait in line on the playground."
"Doctor, who is royal?"
Nelson asks.
"His Royal Highness Wolfe, Prince Wang."
"My lord Wolfe!
Wendy shouts her surprise.
"Wendy, you know what?
"Yeah, that's fair. Prince Wang, or His Majesty the future king of Galai. I've never actually seen you before."
"Prince of Light......"
Torque said.
"Prince of Light?
React to words Almark can't hear.
Torque looked frightened when he said he didn't even know that, but he shook his head as he immediately reconsidered.
"Well, since you're from the North, can't you just ignore me? His Royal Highness Wolfe, Prince Wang, has an anecdote that he used the magic of light at just three years old, showing a tremendous magical talent from the time he was born. That's my nickname."
"Prince of Light, huh?"
Almark nodded as he took over Torque's words. Nevertheless.
"Magic at the age of three? Don't be silly."
Torque snorts.
"So he doesn't have to come to this college anything, he's already mastered a lot of magic by mentoring the Orphen Master of Court Magic. Sure, the year..."
Watch Wendy so Torque can be sure.
Wendy nodded quickly.
"Yeah. Sure, same as us, 11"
"Heh."
Master of court sorcery, probably one of the best sorcerers in the Kingdom of Galais. I mean, they teach magic to people like that, like tutors. That's royalty.
Will such an amazing person come? And the same age as us.
"Then I have to show you a solid game."
To Almark's words, Nelson nods.
"Right."
"Come on, that's it for nothing. Align yourselves on the playing field. The general public is already in, so don't let them in sloppily."
Bowen slapped his hand.
The Almarks respond and leave the depot.
Finally.
Almark felt his chest rattle.
It's not a life match. Battle.
Serious battle where no one dies.
Looking forward to it.
Wendy smiles slightly at Almark as he walks down the aisle to the game field.
Yeah.
Responding with a small nod to that smile, Almark thought.
Let's have fun.
