Chapter 151 – Semifinals (3)
Sasha hummed.
“Hehe, hehe, hehe… !”
The fact that I broke my magic barrier must be so good, the smile on my face couldn’t go away.
I understand that it feels good. Still, I would like you to take care of words that can be misunderstood, such as ‘first opening’.
“Ehe. I was one step faster than the princess. Yes? Yes?”
I haven’t even finished it yet, but now he’s pushing me very hard, his eyes shining brightly. Rather than the result of winning or losing, it seemed that something to make fun of Anna, who always made him suffer, was more important.
It’s because I’m so excited. I guess I’m a bit crazy.
“Note that.”
“Yeah?”
It was nice to see Sasha running wild and excited, but I decided to correct her misunderstanding.
Of course, there are few people in the academy who can break my magic barrier.
“Of course you are not the first, nor are you the only one.”
“… Huh? Yes? Yes?”
It’s a face that says, what is this? Eventually, as if he finally understood the meaning of my words, he opened his eyes wide.
“Who, who? No matter how much I think about it… ? Still, Princess… Ah, by any chance, Princess Iris… ?”
Just like that.
Anna, who still lacks firepower, is incompetent.
To be honest, it might be possible for Anna if she had a Noble Phantasm at the level of the ‘Permafrost Bow’.
There must be a reason why Nikolai didn’t give it up.
Anyway, it’s not Anna.
However.
“Who is one grade above?”
“… Alas.”
My sister
I love you, my Leticia.
As if she had forgotten, Sasha lowered her head.
“That, he’s a little out of the question…”
“Same here. Iris can do it too.”
“… What about our princess?”
As Anna’s aide, Sasha, who knew what was going on between me and Anna, sighed as if she felt sorry for her master, who had to go through Iris to advance to the finals.
What.
In fact, even if Anna didn’t make it to the finals, she was going to make time for herself personally…
She wouldn’t have to tell me in advance. First of all, what Anna wants is to face me in her finals.
As I kept my mouth shut, Sasha let out a deep sigh.
“Anyway, why did that lady say that?”
A friend before an attendant. As an honest friend of hers, she seemed concerned about her own friend.
“Whatever… It’s up to him to figure out what to do…”
Anyway, that’s the next day. After concluding that, Sasha lifted the bow of the permafrost once more.
Squeak. Sasha, who drew her bowstring again, looked at me and said.
“What kind of achievements can I get if I’m not the first and not the only one?”
“Well. I don’t know if breaking one of my barriers can be considered an achievement.”
“You don’t know what. No one else, but the magic barrier of the ‘Duke of Chepesch’? Where else can you get specs like this?”
Well.
It seems like a very realistic issue for the daughter of a high-ranking marquis family to be concerned about…
Talking about specs is a joke.
Still. I thought that if it was an achievement that I could proudly boast in front of others, my heart would race.
“Wouldn’t it be okay if I took out the hidden things?”
I smiled and said that. Sasha hardened her complexion slightly.
“… There is no such thing.”
“Really?”
Nod
Nod?
Nod…
This.
It seems that he has no intention of revealing the true name of the Noble Phantasm.
There may be more besides that.
Either way, it must be something that can’t be easily revealed.
“Is this all the way…”
Realizing that there was nothing more she could do, Sasha drooped her shoulders.
Even though I didn’t reveal all of my hidden cards, I even pulled out a Noble Phantasm that could be said to be my trumpet weapon, but the results were not as good as I thought, so it seemed regretful.
“Good job.”
“Yes?”
She opened her mouth, sorry to see her sulking face for nothing.
Sasha lifted her head and looked at me, then she smiled and pulled out her white handkerchief from her bosom.
“What a waste.”
It was an abstention.
It was a short match, but thanks to her Noble Phantasm, it was a fight that had a lot to see, so people applauded.
“Awesome!”
“Show me your cool next time!”
“The pride of a freshman cadet! Sasha!”
I caught a sentence in the midst of the cheers I heard and said to Sasha.
“It’s said to be the pride of first graders.”
I shrug her shoulders, and Sasha glances at me.
“Your Highness is also a first year student, right?”
“I’m a little off topic.”
“It is, but…”
Sasha, who muttered at her mouth, instead of continuing her words to the end, twitched her clothes and politely bowed her back to me. Just like the way she always stood by Anna’s side.
“… Let’s just go back. The Princess will be waiting for you.”
How can attitudes change so quickly?
Is it because she doesn’t have a weapon in her hand?
*
Anna Kroychev.
Ruler of the north. The one and only and legitimate successor to the Grand Duke Kroychev, a family with deep roots that started the millennial empire.
The qualities of a swordsman flowing through his veins.
Perhaps, even if she repeats her simple training without any special bends, in a few years she will rise to the level of a master as if it were natural for her.
So that.
Because it is such a brilliant talent.
Anna, her next swordsman, was not intoxicated by her own talent, and gave her full strength every time she swung her single sword.
Because of the days I have been so diligent.
She finally
He would have been able to rise to a high level and defeat all the outstanding opponents who had risen to the ranks without a single exception with a ‘single sum’.
And finally, the semifinals.
Anna stepped onto the stage and looked around her.
A barrier that is markedly different from before. It was so strong that it was not even scratched by a moderate attack.
Confirming him, Anna nodded her head.
That’s why this duel was so important.
An opponent that must be overcome before meeting that person.
If it’s a year, it’s a year.
A rival could be called a rival. Princess of the Empire, Iris. She was Anna’s opponent this time.
The confrontation between Iris and Anna has already led to quite a large response.
Sasha and that person who must be happening elsewhere… Scarlett’s duel also attracted a lot of people’s attention.
No one thought that the family head of Chepeshu would lose.
Conversely, the duel between Iris and Anna?
No one could have easily predicted the outcome. It is impossible to predict who will emerge victorious.
Because of that situation, more people gathered.
‘… Noisy.’
Hearing the voices of the people who were agitated, Anna thought. Because she had a sharper sense of refinement than at any other time.
And.
Upcoming celebrity.
Those who were agitated shut their mouths one by one, and finally on the stage that became quiet.
“…”
Anna quietly raised her sword. Sword energy shimmering in blue light rose from her hand to her sword body. The restrained softness expressed how high her level was.
A level of strength that will be treated well throughout the continent, with only a few days left until the ‘Master’.
Even so.
‘When…’
Anna bit her lower lip.
‘When was that…’
It’s not like Anna couldn’t emit an aura like that. If it’s simply to increase the amount of aura, she can do anything as long as she supports her ability to handle aura.
But.
‘I haven’t even started yet.’
People used to talk.
‘Who is stronger, the princess or her princess?’
None of the people gathered here were curious about that.
People wanted to clear up the question of who was stronger between her and Iris.
And.
Where more people gathered than ever before, they could be seen.
Hwareuk!
From the moment she entered, Iris walked up with an aura on her sword body.
It’s like entering with a torch.
Seeing Iris enter with a golden aura on her sword body, everyone was shocked.
An aura of light that spreads brilliant light and blooms wildly.
The amount of aura that came out like crazy.
The dazzling golden aura from the sword Iris lifted obliquely began to stir the silent surroundings once more.
“Huh…”
“No matter how many Auras there are, it’s like that…”
Even those who knew Iris couldn’t keep their mouths shut, as she adhered to the fighting style of using her innate qualities and overwhelming them with both the quantity and quality of her aura.
They say that they fought like they were wasting their aura. Isn’t this the story after the fight started to the end?
Semifinal. Coming all the way up to this place, I’ve never had such a large amount of aura, and I’ve never seen it bloom to such a degree that it shined even before the fight started.
But what is the current view?
That’s like
Everyone couldn’t take their eyes off the overwhelming amount of aura that Iris raised.
Even Anna was like that.
A waste of so many auras that the viewer gets sick of it.
From entering until now, they show off their presence by emitting aura continuously without turning it off for a single moment.
It means only one thing.
‘… It’s over the wall.’
Master’s realm.
In a true sense, those who are called ‘superhumans’.
That was the case with Leticia, one grade higher, the same height as the Emperor of the Empire and the Commander of the Knights.
Iris had already reached the goal that Anna had hoped to reach someday.
Everyone present here knows.
She couldn’t even pretend not to know. The results were so obvious.
Iris won.
… So what are you saying?
Anna grabbed her sword.
