Fuyo Cup last day. Aldiz appeared on the athletics stadium as a contestant, with only one more game left to take part in the day-to-day fight.
The audience seats are full of many citizens and even stand out. Big event once a year. Not only the finals, but also the feat of non-military players pushing the pieces into the finals, fueled the enthusiasm of the audience.
The opponent of the final match is a man named Kam Ran, who is the deputy commander of the Third Division. Fuyo Cup Although he had no experience winning, he had a track record of going to the final twice in the past. Fuyo Cup This time, he is said to be the most promising candidate for the championship, and he is a strong player who has won the final race in a dangerous way as per his reputation.
`` A thousand sword sorcerer that you kicked off foreign units in the empire battle ''
"What if?"
An opponent calls out to Aldis who has advanced to the center of the arena.
"If you look at the matches so far, you know you're not just a magician. It's probably not because you've played for ridicule or pranks, or to get us moss."
No, she's coming out to make you moss and red shame, but Ardis whispers silently.
"But here also has a military purpose. I think it's bad-"
For a moment, Kamran's words were interrupted, and his expression became cloudy. However, as soon as he tightens his face, he makes a strong glance at Aldis and speaks out.
"I can't afford to lose"
"Naturally, I'm not fighting to lose."
Despite being somewhat caught up in Kamlang's language, Aldis returns a sound word.
"Is both sides ready?"
The referee will make a final confirmation to the two men and women who will determine the sex.
He was a different judge than in the semifinals. As expected, it would have been impossible for the audience to get to the final stage if they were so criticized by the audience. If the referee had been here, booming from the spectator seat was probably not the point of the match. Switching to another person is a wise decision.
Of course, the referee who came out this time will probably have the intent of Marquis Holguin. It was still impossible to be alert.
Aldis observes opponent Kamran.
Apparently mid thirties. This is the age of his best as a warrior. He is about half as tall as Aldis, and his muscles wrap his tight body like armor. Not too thick to sacrifice speed, but not too thin to lack strength. He looked balanced as a fighter.
The result is a bastard sword that can be held in one hand or both hands. The small shield fixed to the left arm was large enough to hold the sword in both hands and swing around.
The armor worn is leather armor that gives priority to ease of movement. While heavily guarding joints and key points, he covered the minimum range without compromising agility.
As you might guess from his equipment, his style of fighting might be rather speedy. At least it didn't look like a type of power to push things.
"Then about both positions"
At the signal of the referee, Aldis steps five steps away from the opponent.
"Well, what are you going to do?"
Aldis is alone to everyone.
A thug was sent the day before the semi-finals, and a judge judged incorrectly in the game. He was surrounded by a group of uncertainties after the semifinals, but he was out of the royal capital and returned to the forest because he was troublesome to deal with.
Marquis Holguin, who has been interfering with Aldis one after another, is not just watching his fingers. You must be turning something.
A warning signal from the referee was heard in Aldis's ears.
"Begin!"
Aldis and Kamran begin to move at the same time.
However, the movement was slow as if they were searching for each other. Aldis goes half a step, and Cam Ran closes half a step.
It was Kamran who caught his opponent first.
As soon as Kamran's arm moves, Aldis moves into evasion.
Yokoginagi's blow from almost no preparatory action hits Aldis. It's not too fast for Aldis to fear that an average soldier would take a breathtaking blow.
"Totto"
With a light voice, Aldis sinks and tries to dive into Kamran's pocket.
However, as expected, it is the lead candidate. Kamran's Bastard Sword changed track and pursued Aldis even further.
Aldis who gave up the attack turns away in the opposite direction with his own sword as a shield in order to escape Bastard Sword. A sword that misses Aldis cuts the sky.
The distance between them shrinks again and this time Aldis takes the lead. After one feint, Kamlan pounces off his target with his sword.
When the two swords were struck together, they both took a distance from each other.
"It's a waste to be a magician."
"That's not it."
Aldis answers all the impressive words of Kamran.
Both of them haven't really taken off yet, and the swordshooting that goes out is not out of sight.
Cam Ran held his bastard sword in both hands. After confirming Aldis's ability, it is likely that he will soon turn into a full-fledged offensive.
The same was true for Aldis, who was measuring his ability. The Fuyo Cup is certainly said to be a candidate for victory, and his ability is more than that of the assault squadron who fought in the semifinals. However, they did not conclude that it was a threat to Aldis. Moore, who fought in the third round, and Ted, the leader of Mystery of the White Night, had a good match.
Aldis also holds a sword in time for Kamran. Do you decide the game early, or do you take the time to show the difference in ability to the audience? As he wondered how he could damage Marquis Holguin, Aldis's eyes caught something incredible.
"what?"
Fuyang Cup The magical power that should not be seen in the original battle was in Kamran's sword.
But how many non-Aldis people in the arena have noticed it? Few humans can see magic in this world. What is natural in the world where Aldis grew up is taken as an insane ability in this world.
In this world, only you and Nere can perceive the flow of magic as far as Aldis knows. Probably most or all of the people in this arena, including the spectator seats, will not be able to see for themselves if they have magic. Fuyo Cup For that reason, if you forbid magical powers, the arms of the contestants are equipped with bracelets that seal the magical power so that everyone can see it.
"But my bangles ..."
Arguably, Kamran also wore a bracelet of the same shape as Aldis. Strangely, the flow of magic was visible on the bracelet.
Suspicion Aldis's eyes reveal a further flow of magic. Magical power began to flow through the armor on Kamran's shield, and in addition, strong magical power began to flow through Kamran's body itself. Possibly the magic has been used to enhance the armor with magical powers, as well as improve physical abilities.
Kam Rang's bracelet remains silent-no, silence was not a precise expression. The magical movement was also seen in the bracelet itself.
However, the eyes of humans who cannot perceive the flow of magic do not know the difference between the bracelet worn by Aldis and the bracelet worn by Kamran.
Aldis understands that. I don't know what the bangs worn by Kamran do, but the enemy's aim is now clear.
He fights against Ardis, who is completely banned from magic, and Kamlan, who is supported and strengthened by magic. That may be the measure of Marquis Holguin.
"Haha ..."
A moment when he understood the aim of Marquis Holguin, an unusual laughter spewed out of Aldis's mouth.
What Kamlan wears is probably something similar to the bracelet that Aldis wears. Perhaps a magician hiding support and enhancement magic from somewhere on the arena is camouflage.
If a bracelet has a brace, it has no power to block the magic, and humans who cannot see the magic can not understand their injustice.
On the other hand, the bracelet to which Aldis was handed should have the original function. The magic power is sealed off by the bracelet, and if you use the magic by removing the bracelet, you will be declared a foul loser in no time.
With some doubt, Aldis would have to fight a fully-supported Kamran without any magical power.
The ability that can be demonstrated with or without magic also changes greatly. Improving physical abilities alone can create a power difference of almost double, and if weapons and armor are enhanced with magic, the side using magic will usually win even if there is a slight difference in ability.
In fact, the difference between a demon and a beast can be said to be whether it has physical strength and special attack methods. It is a monster that uses magic power. If Aldis were able to attach the bracelet she wore to the demon, the monster with terrible power would probably be as weak as a brutal carnivore.
To that extent, the presence or absence of magic power determines the strength. If the races are different, the story is still different, but it was clearer than watching the fire, such as winning or losing, if the same races fought without one being able to use magic.
"Ha ha ... ha ha ha ha"
A dry laugh continues from Aldis's mouth.
"Yeah, yeah. Will it come.
Scratching A situation where you can't win at all if you think about it normally. From the audience's point of view, it suddenly looks like Aldis laughed without any warning.
Only those who can perceive the flow of magic or those who know only this time can understand what Aldis is saying. Marquis Holguin and his neighbors, sorcerers who are providing magical support to Kamran from somewhere, and of course the judge are also considered accomplices.
Cam Ranh probably had heard the story in advance. If not, you should be somewhat confused by the sudden magic of yourself. Before the start of the match, Kamran said "I think it was bad" because he had heard beforehand.
"I see, you can't definitely win if you're normal.
While saying so in his mouth, Aldis's expression is never impatient. On the contrary, even a smile was floating.
It is not abandoned. I didn't give up. Just the trembling of the body awakens the heartbeat of the forgotten battle.
This situation is usually unbeatable. The shackles, albeit with or without magic, Aldis wanted to win.
Fights humans with magical support without any magical powers. Only with such a handicap can Aldis have a defeat.
Since coming to this world, I have a feeling of a decent battle that I have not felt for a long time. The sense of sight, hearing, smell, and thinking become sharper as if the haze had been shaken.
Certainly life is not at stake. Takashi But that one thing, "I might lose," shocks Aldis.
In front of his peers, Aldis said he would squint.
"It's good. I'll take that game."
