"I thought I could win a little bit."
After the decision, Moore blurred as he walked alongside Aldis, who was about to leave the arena.
"Even if all the favorable conditions were met, it was useless.
Contrary to words, Moore's expression is bright. It's a shame that he lost, but of course he didn't have any regrets because he didn't fight with all his power.
"I've been fighting for nearly two decades on the battlefield, mixed with monsters like monsters. I can't lose easily."
When Aldis is almost indifferent to his usual opponents, he uses words like caring, which is unusual. That's because he recognizes Moore's ability.
Swagger "I can't imagine a person that you describe as a monster. Well, it's not unusual for a world where such demons are crazy."
Perhaps he remembered the nedulo and dark blue water monster that he came across in the world beyond. Moore drops her shoulder with a grim look.
He is not weak. Handcrafting By the standards of the world, Moore would have the ability to stand out among the swordsmen. Byakuya To the fullest of Aldis's knowledge, only merchants who could beat Moore, such as Nere and Ted of No, and Nicole, who escorted a female merchant Marida in the city state of Leiting, came to mind.
Isolation However, there is a difference between this world and the rest of the world in terms of the strength of the fundamental creature. If you come from that world, even if it's a merchant who isn't fighting, you'll be able to make a name here as a warrior. So Aldis praises Moore in his own words.
Congratulations, "If you were born and raised in the other side of the world, you would be much more crazy than I was. I just happened to be in a different place. The Duke has enough eyes to see your strength. You won't be afraid to look at that game, so be sure to go high up and watch the rest.
Fuyo Cup semifinals and finals. Moore turned his eyes on something surprising to Aldis, who described the fight against the elite as a digestive match. Fuyo Cup In effect, it's like saying that the fight against Moore was the final match.
"... I thought I was a man with no such concern."
"I see. I'm kind to allies, I'm."
"Yes, I hope you won't turn to your enemies."
Along with Moore shrugging, Aldis left the arena.
In one corner of the guest's seat, a man was sitting in a chair and sitting on the athletics stadium without sitting down. Rugged expression still reveals some discomfort, and the nervous features are even more so.
Marquis Holguin, a military leader who effectively served the Fuyo Cup.
"Are you dissatisfied, husband?"
It is an old man with gray hair who speaks to such a master from behind. It is obvious from his dress that he is a forebear.
Prospect "Isn't it as it was originally?"
He became a limb of the Marquis and supported him for more than forty years, and was, of course, one of the few who knew both the front and back of the Lord. He knew that Marquis Holguin had turned his hand to change the tournament combination and sought to hit the two who had played for the duke of Nilesteria, as well as his intentions. That's why I was wondering why the marquis seemed to be dissatisfied despite the fact that one could be eliminated as intended.
"As expected ... yes, that's right. Of those two who had to welcome the contestants with the duke's voice, the prospect of sifting off one of them now was fine, but ... … "
"Any problem?"
The elder servant asks the marquis who is stagnant.
"What did you think of that battle?"
Taste "Yes. I can only see amateurs because I do not see swords ... but it was a fight that was not very good."
"... That's right. I can't say the goods are good."
Despite agreeing with the old service, the voice of the Marquis was depressed. The Marquis speaks again after three breaths of silence.
"But strong"
An annoying word was spited out.
"Surely, there was something that the Duke could only recommend, but wouldn't the husband care?"
"I may not understand you, but that is dangerous. I heard about Moore Greysta's ability, but I did not think that it was a user so much. I was fortunate to be able to sifte in that sense, but the problem was with the winning Magician of the Thousand Swords. Despite his name, he was careless about what he could do ... but that was dangerous. "
A marquis who repeats the same expression and talks about the danger.
"Is that so?"
The marquis has reached the age of elders and is no longer on the battlefield, but when he was young he commanded soldiers and went on to fight the empire. Although the Marquis is not flattering or martial arts, he may have seen many strongmen as commanders after he retired from the front. As the Marquis recounts his words as dangerous, it is certain that the young magician is more annoying than the old service thinks.
Evil Rakshasa "Oh. On the battlefield, there are those who overwhelm the surroundings with occasional strength. That's like that.
"What if that magician wins Kamlan !?"
Winner of this tournament. As the name of the third division deputy commander, the most prominent in the Marquis Holguin faction, emerges from the Marquis's mouth, the old side screams.
"Not good. Not good ..."
The marquis' impatience spills out of his mouth.
Abusive "I can't show you down to your Majesty or your Imperial Household at this important moment whether your daughter is going to get the next Crown Prince ..."
Having a strong influence in the military and a great deal of skill in the faction is the source of power for Marquis Holguin. Fuyo Cup It was based on the achievements that faction officers have accumulated each year as they continue to dominate the top performers.
But if a non-factional mercenary here, and a sorcerer wants to win the championship, the marquis' face is crushed. For him it is nothing more than a nightmare. Then the marquis needed to take the steps he needed to avoid the nightmare.
Remarks: "Is there no other choice than having you do the semifinals?"
The old servant makes a suggestion as if he saw through the heart of the Lord.
"... Yeah, I'm going to ask you to decline, but the opponent is tough. A half-hearted messenger can't get you back."
"Yes. We will arrange the training."
I said, "I don't mind if I'm a little brute force, and I'll do something even if it damages my surroundings. Don't spare too much money. Tell me not to neglect both quality and number."
"I understand"
The elder-side servant bowed down and left the place to another servant.
A guest seat several blocks away from the location of Marquis Holguin. Minerva, the daughter of the Duke of Nilesteria, watching the battle between Aldis and Moore, exhaled deeply.
"That was indeed."
The duke speaks briefly to his daughter, who has weakened his fist.
"Yes, they were great swordsmanship."
Awe The words of the daughter who answered answered that they had a feeling for them. An uplifting face indicates that it is a true feeling emanating from the heart.
"Moore's sword was great, though defeated. If he fought in the first combination, he might have left the finals.
There, pause, the duke takes a glass of wine from the side table and moistens his mouth.
"But Aldis's swordsmanship was better than that. Despite having seen it once, it is still a waste to be a magician."
"Of course, no one can stand in front of the master's swordsmanship."
In response to the Duke's words, Minerva seemed to be good at me.
"'Sword magic is an extension of swordsmanship'"
"Hmm? What's that?"
Suddenly, the Duke cast doubts on the words she spoke.
"This is the word that the teacher said. Sword magic is just one of many sword techniques, and is not fundamentally more than or less than sword art. That's the essence of magic. ''
"I see. First-class sword magic means first-class swordsmanship."
Tadashi: "Yes. I look at the master's sword and realize that it is true."
Minerva now understands why Aldis tried to strike swordsman first, as he wished for an introduction to sword magic.
Aldis was a swordsman from the beginning and is still a swordsman. The Fuyo Cup Even though he was flew into the world beyond, Aldis did not use any sword magic. His strength and its roots may be in swordsmanship, not swordsmanship.
Polishing swordsmanship, mastering swordsmanship, sword magic is one of the techniques in the process. Minerva finally realized that learning sword magic from the beginning was an unreasonable attempt.
Aldis will surely continue to teach Minerva swordsmanship in the future. And among them, one of the many swordsmanships will surely have the time to get started with sword magic.
That's why-.
"First you have to reach a first-class swordsman"
Spinning Minerva's determination came out of his little mouth, without hesitating to determine his goal.
