I'm fighting Selik.
In the course of the match, the downed Selik rose by the voice of some.
That's who stands second. Selik called him my father.
"Selik, Selik got up...... but turned his face to Selik's father, who showed up in the second, and started to move"
'Did something upset you?
"And, Dad... why are you here?
"Selik, I heard you were playing a game..."
Selik says he's confronting me, but he turns his face toward Secondo.
It's full of gaps, but I'm not wild enough to attack here.
"Oh, Father...?
On my side of the second, Celia was circling her eyes.
Selik's father also means Celia's father. It would be natural to be surprised.
"Nor is it calm to bet Celia..."
"How could you do that?
"Captain Zagil taught me... what a surprise."
"The captain...!
Apparently, this was set up by Captain Zagil Fifth.
With the mask on, I can't peek at the expression, but Captain Zagil was nodding slowly.
"But why..."
"I feel like you're carrying too much."
"I'm carrying too much...?
"Oh, I've tapped into our tradition so that you can be a fine swordsman. But that seems to have tormented you..."
To his father's words, Selik rounds his eyes.
This conversation seems to be something important.
"I can't believe I was in pain..."
"Besides, it's also true that my oldest son, you, reassured me that he would inherit his sword moves and spoiled Celia. Is that why you started hitting Celia cold?
"Oh no...!
His father said so to Selik with a look of regret and penance intertwined.
Compared to Selik, Celia didn't seem so bound to tradition.
So is there a difference in consciousness so far between siblings?
"It's all my fault. I'm sorry... I tied you to my traditional sword moves and let you carry me..."
"Father..."
"From now on, you can do whatever you want. I don't want to see you like that anymore!
Selik was trembling at his father's apology.
I don't know what happened to him.
But I guess that was something that rocked the thoughts in him.
Selik turns slowly towards me.
"Are we done talking..."
"... oh, you seem to have kept me waiting. Thank you for not attacking me."
"No, you wanted me to just rest too..."
"Right..."
Me and Selik, we'll put each other back together.
Maybe something about Selik will change from here on out.
"Ooh!? I set them both up! Finally, it looks like the battle will resume!
"... I've always lived only for this sword move..."
"... oh, I see"
"So it's unknown from here on out!
At the same time as the words, Selik comes at me.
Then I'll just intercept you, too.
'Celik, we're on our way! But Slade players are also in a position to intercept!
'If Selik is the same as before, Slade will win. But I think something has changed the atmosphere of Selik.'
Selik waves his sword wide.
"Ahhhhhh!
'Oh, here, Selik, I lifted my sword!
"There!
'Slade, I waved a sword at it!
To go with it, I wave a knife.
Now, just like earlier, I can cut and tear Selik apart.
"... Hmm!
"What!?
"Oh no!? This!?
But against expectation, my blade was taken.
Selik changed his posture from the attack and defended it with his sword.
'Oh my god!? Selik, you got an attack!?
'This is unexpected. I didn't know you were going to defend yourself from that position...'
Selik's defense was unexpected to me and to others.
Is this the new frontier of Selik?
"My sword is a defensive sword. Therefore, it also defends against attacks…"
"What the...!?
"This is my attack!
"Knock..."
Selik will play my sword.
"Selik, I let Slade shake up his sword!?
"You're going to decide, while Slade hasn't been able to regain his position,"
To such an unexpected defense, I seem to have misjudged.
At the time it was taken, it should have stayed back.
"Ahhhhhh!
"Grrr!"
"Oh, a flash of Selik slashed and tore Slade!
'That's a complete blow. This is tough...'
Selik slashes me, and there's blood all over my body.
Selik's full-bodied blow was inside.
But my consciousness is still there.
"What!?
"S, Slade player!? Stopped!? Plus, I'm delivering a knife to my sheath!
'... this!?
I managed to stay and put my knife in my sheath.
From here on out, in order not to be defended, you have to do the fastest sword moves I have.
"Secret Sword -"
"Whoa!
"Sick wind!"
Faster than Selik defended, my sword swung.
The blow causes red blood to pop out of Selik's body.
"Guaaaaaah!"
"Oh!? Selik wielded Slade's knife extraction! To a mighty blow, Celik, you will collapse!
'Originally, Selik has also taken considerable damage. In that situation, this blow, earliest......'
Power falls out of Selik's body and collapses.
"Selik......!
Before that body hit the ground, I was moving.
"Nah!? Slade, I stopped holding the falling Selik player!?
"What!? No, this is......!?
The venue is a little obsessed with my behavior.
But I don't care about that.
"Selik......"
"... it was a brilliant blow. That's a complete defeat... this is"
It was a de facto defeat statement that was released from the embraced Selik.
That's what I knew too. In an earlier blow, I felt something fall out of Selik.
The moment I understood it, my body moved on its own. I didn't want to do any more damage to Selik.
"Sweet guy... take me, etc."
"Your condition was felt with your sword crossed... I didn't want you to fall down like that"
"Right..."
So Selik's been holding my hand.
There is little power left in that hand.
"I've been tied to the sword of tradition... so Celia couldn't forgive me for trying to throw it away"
"Yes... you were"
"But it was jealous. I envied him for not being tied to anything..."
That was the first time Selik told me the truth.
This guy was jealous of Celia.
"While I'm at it, it's lame..."
"Say what. If you're wrong, you can apologize. Even Celia will forgive you..."
Perhaps Selik now would easily tell with Celia.
I'll shake Selik's hand back.
"Right..."
"Yes..."
That's what Selik says, he meditates his eyes.
Keeping consciousness may also be painful.
At the edge of my sight, I see a stretcher being carried.
They should be on the cure soon.
"Slade......"
"What's up?
"Celia... please... he's your... disciple..."
"Oh, leave it to me..."
That's all I said, Selik stopped moving.
I think it's ok because I have breath, but you should treat it immediately.
"Mr. Slade, we are."
"I'll take care of it later"
That's what I was thinking, the medical team was bringing a stretcher.
I'll take care of Selik and get up.
'This is the battle that has had a twist, but now the winner has risen here!
From the venue, a loud cheer was heard.
Everyone seems to be praising my victory.
"Its name is Slade! Supernova in Squad Four! It was a brilliant fight! Ladies and gentlemen, please send us a round of applause!
From the venue, I hear more applause.
And I walk out of the arena slowly.
"Master!"
"Slade, are you okay?
Celia and Dion come running up to me.
Following that, Faraes and Sona also came.
"It was brilliant, Slade"
"Yeah, I'm sorry, but you're strong."
"Oh......"
"Master! Are you okay!? You're so hurt!
"Slade, you want me to lend you my shoulder?
"I'm fine, let's go"
So, Selik and Dion tell me that, but I took control of it.
Because I wanted to leave the venue standing.
When I walk, four people follow me from behind.
"Slade! Exit! Everybody, applaud!
Thus, my battle was over, and with great applause, I left.
