The world's strongest hard worker

Day 2 of the Freipara Rookie Competition.

"Well, well! Who will decorate the glorious Best Eight? Now let's make it the biggest racketeer of the tournament, the winner! Owner of [Effort] Talents from the Alliance" Tempest ", which has overwhelmed many powerful enemies! Rivel enters!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The atmosphere is shaking with cheer.

It got pretty popular when we got here.

The three of us went well and came to the top eight.

"Livel, blow him up!

"Cucumber! Phew!)"

Thank you. I'll take care of it.

I entered the arena with the cheers of Raul and Cu from the waiting room.

And my opponent in the best eight matches ─ ─.

"Here are the winners too! How will he fight the most powerful of all new adventurers! Sid is also the owner of a natural talent [top swordsman] from the guild" Red Wolf "to which he belongs! Agito is here!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I didn't expect you to win this far ~

Eyes staring sharply at wolf-like ears.

Standing in the middle of the arena at this point, he provoked without getting his hair in.

Agito has a light affinity when choosing an Alliance.

"You seem lucky."

That's what I'll say.

Agito is a talented [best swordsman].

Better than any other opponent I've ever fought.

And sometimes he looks down on me, and it's no harm letting me be alarmed.

"Cook, you can't get up here with luck. Besides, there's been a lot of rumor among the adventurers, right? I thought you were just a stone on the side of the road, but I decided to change my rating. ─ ─ You are my enemy"

... I see, I was a little underestimating Agito, too.

It is certainly of a similar type to Carlo, but Agito is far more powerful.

It's not about fighting, it's about behavior, spirituality, thinking beyond Carlo.

When I first met him, it seemed like the guild was doing it all on its own, but there was no atmosphere around that he hated.

That's what the Agito charisma does.

I don't think he's aware of it.

And now Agito has changed his opinion of me.

You might say this is the big difference between Carlo and Agito.

Changing your values and thoughts is not easy.

There may be pride in being a [top swordsman], and Carlo couldn't do it.

I see. Above all else. "

"Oh, that's why I'm looking forward to it."

"What happened?

"Let's see which one is stronger!

"... it's like a rabid dog."

Agito and I held our sword.

While I was under moderate tension, my concentration was quite high.

Can you acquire the Gono Sword now...?

The idea went a little too far, but soon it was washed away.

Because I'm not strong enough to afford it.

I'll do my best to win.

Well, let's start the game!

The two of us moved on with the actual signal.

And the sword that intersected made the most intense sound ever.

It resonated firmly throughout the arena, even though the audience was noisy.

"Ha ha ha! I wish this hadn't happened!

Agito swings his sword violently, laughing.

However, all of the sword shots clearly captured me and were a little difficult to take.

It's not what you let anger do to you.

It feels like you're using your instincts to fight wild monsters.

"What a high-level battle this is! This is the winning candidate's collision! Neither, not a step!

As it turns out, I thought the development would continue without a step.

"That's right. I only have the talent of Top Swordsman ."

"I don't know what I'm capable of yet, but I often say it."

"That's each other, right?

"Hahaha... you're so funny after all."

That said, Agito's sword shot increased sharpness.

A heavy blow and a lot of trouble.

I can't help it.

I'll raise the gear, too.

Use Physical Enhancement to consume magic.

Oh, I'll do it.

When dealing with Agito's sword shooting, Agito shows more strength.

Agito was the first to take a blow, even though we stayed one step behind each other.

This simply meant that Agito was better at swordsmanship.

The swordsmanship has not been forged since it was given talent.

I can see that it has been piled up in the tunnel since I was young.

"Ha ha, you're a winner."

Agito laughed proudly after the blow.

"You really think so?

I thought during the meeting that I had no choice but to get a blow from Agito.

What matters is the subsequent development.

How can you turn a seemingly pinchy situation into a chance?

Until now, I have fought with only a sword.

Therefore, controlling the meeting seems to be the same as controlling the game.

It is helpless to be alarmed.

But I won't miss that gap.

Fire magic was thrown from the left hand, which did not hold the sword, towards the face of Agito.

Fireballs large enough to cover the entire face hit directly.

"What iiiii!?

And here we are.

Damage is being taken by the arena, and the magic of fire, which does not feel pain, blocks the view.

This makes it impossible to avoid or prevent the next strike.

I will raise the output of Physical Enhancement as much as I can, and I will give you the strongest blow I can release now.

"Sorry."

I felt a little guilty about the way I couldn't be fair. I shook my sword while saying so.

My blow will explode on Agito.

And the HP bar went to zero.

"No, no, no! The match was decided only for a moment! Livell, you've got the game under control with aggressive maneuvers! Livel, top eight!!!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

"Oh, my God! He can use not only swordsmanship, but also magic!

"Defeat the [Top Swordsman] Agito! This is the same as winning already!

Now you know I can use my magic.

It is like using the back hand that can only be used once.

But if you don't use this hand, it will be a little harder to beat Agito.

And... since I've decided to do my best, I have to win anyway.
