Chapter 152 – Semifinals (4)
With an honest heart. Anna felt as if someone was maliciously blocking her in this situation.
I just made up my mind Cool, no, even if it’s hard, somehow win. And in the finals, I wanted to convey my feelings once again.
It felt good this time. Fight with all your might in the finals. Although you may not be able to defeat him, there is still such a thing as pure sincerity that is transmitted through sword facing.
‘Daughter. Remember. The ‘sword’ has innocence. When you want to convey your honest heart, once sincerely look at the sword. Then the other person will know how you feel.’
Indeed, he was a man called the Sword Saint. Recalling the advice her father had given her one day, Anna mustered up the courage after thinking about it for days.
When she shyly confesses her feelings, she is accepted by Scarlett. Because they must have already exchanged sincerity with each other fiercely sword-to-sword.
From someone else’s point of view, it’s a very clumsy and messy plan, but Anna had such a plan in her head anyway.
However.
Hwareuk!
An aura that bloomed like fireworks entered Anna’s eyes.
Was it that easy to become a ‘master’?
Aside from the Chepesu siblings, who are treated as out of the question right away, Iris, who was not so different from her when she entered the school this year, has gone far beyond her wall before she knew it.
Originally, it was a relationship where neither side could be considered superior or inferior.
Results can vary depending on the condition of the day. A relationship that fits the word rival.
But what about now?
No one in this room, not even Anna, thought that Iris would lose.
Look at that brilliant aura. Even at this moment, the golden aura that was spurting out made me breathless.
Anna knew.
This was a show off.
Iris’ display.
She has her own strength, and.
‘Your brother is mine.’
Relationship with the man you love.
A few weeks when Iris was away with Scarlett. In the meantime, Iris climbed over the wall and reached a level.
The woman he thought of as a rival or a rival was in fact far beyond himself in both his power and relationship.
Those times, those facts made Anna nervous.
Anna clasped her hand.
‘… Can I?’
She asked to wait.
She said she would go find her.
He is a man who already has everything. Anna was confident in herself, but not in front of him. She said she had no confidence, so she seemed to have nothing to regret.
It was shabby.
That he is a person who has nothing to regret even if he does not have confidence in him.
But.
Still.
“Whatever.”
“Hmm?”
Perhaps because she heard something muttered, Iris’ eyes twitched. It was a quick response. Before Anna could even move, Iris’ body moved with the Master’s extremely developed sixth sense.
“So what… !”
Chaeeng!
I don’t have a sailor.
However, Iris was the first to respond.
At the distance that narrowed in an instant, the size of the shining aura in front of her eyes gnawed Annagai.
“Me too… !”
Can do.
I was trying to say that.
But before I can open my mouth like that, Iris’s sharp counterattack comes in.
“Oops!”
The blazing light of the aura, like the scorching sun, overflowed as if it were going to eat Anna’s sword. In that state, Iris, who won the battle for her strength, dug in.
“Yes.”
Very light flair.
No. Is it my own illusion that it sounds close to laughter?
Seven swords of the Arcadia Empire.
The third sword (第三劍)—striking the ground.
She didn’t even have time to think.
Hate to admit it, but there’s no obvious sewage in this situation.
There is no room for idle thoughts.
Organize your thoughts.
Organize your breathing.
Take a stance
Seven swords of the Arcadia Empire.
An arcane swordsmanship that can only be mastered by members of the imperial family, who have inherited the blessings of the goddess from generation to generation.
It is a swordsmanship created under the assumption that only those who have been blessed with the qualities of a “Master” Can master it after receiving the blessings of the goddess, and that swordsmanship can be said to be the best swordsmanship in the empire.
─But.
What does that mean
If Iris’s sword is the best sword in the Empire.
Her own black.
The sword of the northern swordsman.
It is the strongest sword of the empire.
Kroychev Ryu
Crescent Moon Slash.
Quaang!
The collision of aura and aura. There was a blast.
“… Kut!”
Anna guessed.
The reason her aura didn’t break from the sum just now was because her opponent looked after her.
While her own aura looked like it would dissipate any moment, Iris’s aura grew even bigger, and the flames were flaring out as if sticking out her tongue.
By clashing swords, they confirm each other’s feelings. Anna recalled the Grand Duke’s advice. Certainly, fighting Iris with a sword seemed to convey her feelings.
‘… Stray cat.’
I’m not sure, but she seemed to be saying that.
… It’s not a very pleasant thing, though.
As expected, by competing swords and clashing fiercely, people can know each other’s sincerity.
It would have been nice if it was Scarlett, not Iris, who was competing with him right now. Anna sighed in strange regret.
“Whoa…”
Wriggling.
Iris’s eyebrows rose.
‘What?’
I feel bad for some reason.
In fact, Iris had no intention of stopping Anna so desperately. Her pride is hurt to just lose, so if she loses, she will lose, but she just doesn’t have the intention of losing on purpose.
However.
‘… Why do I feel bad?’
The one thing we just shared. I don’t know what I felt there, but I felt bad for nothing when I saw Anna sighing with her face brightening and then losing energy again.
It really feels like a stray cat coveting something you own.
‘What am I thinking…’
Iris is kind by nature. She thinks people are stray cats, and even says that she is surprised. Perhaps if she had been alone with Iris, she would have easily won her heart.
If only she was alone.
“Iris.”
‘… Goddess?’
Iris was puzzled. These days, she is preferably a goddess who doesn’t talk to herself very much. Her goddess voice, which she hadn’t heard in a long time, took her Iris’ consciousness lightly.
‘Gap… !’
And no matter how severe the current gap with Iris, who had become a master, Anna, who was ready to cross the wall if there was a slight chance, could not miss that gap.
Dig! Anna leaped with a sharply compressed aura wrapped around her blade.
“Ah. … Suck!”
However, Iris, who was momentarily distracted, quickly took up her posture and cut off Anna’s sword. A heavy shock spread to the outside of the field.
“Ugh. It’s been going on and on until here.”
“Unexpectedly, the gongnyeo is promoting.”
Compared to those who were evaluated outside the standard, the color was only faded, but they were basically recognized for their talent on the continent in that they were academy cadets, so they said that they skillfully scattered the shock wave.
‘… Chit.’
Anna clicked her tongue at the sight of Iris, who easily took her golden opportunity. Actually, Iris was still distracted by the goddess who spoke to her at an important moment.
「Iris, I know that you treat that child like a stray cat. But…」
‘What are you talking about earlier? Also, a thief cat. No matter how nasty she is, that’s the case…’
“I never said that I was mean…」
‘…’
The goddess is on Iris’ side. He knew that there were many women around Scarlett, and the goddess herself was to blame for that fact, and he didn’t say much because he was a man who deserved that much in return.
Anyway, the true heart of her goddess, the ‘heroine’ she promoted was Iris. Just because she does, doesn’t mean she hates other women.
She is a goddess, and as much as she is the children of the world she created, she can be said to be a benevolent goddess who cares for everyone.
She’s especially Luna Taylor, who can be said to have cared about her.
Although I pay more attention to those children.
Anyway, the heroine that pushes me the most is Iris.
But look at the situation now.
Doesn’t Anna look like a ‘heroine who stands up steadfastly to overcome trials and confess her feelings to the person she loves’, and Iris looks like a ‘villain who puts the heroine through trials’!
As a goddess who liked other children besides Iris, her rivals increased as she grew, but she could not tolerate Iris taking the role of a villain.
When she has a love interest, she becomes a harem love comedy, but when she becomes a villain who bullies the heroine, the genre changes altogether.
“Don’t you feel like you’ve become a bad villain character!”
‘I’m sorry, Goddess. I don’t know what a villain girl is, and if it’s a villain girl, I don’t know what a villain girl character is… !’
Of course, Iris was crazy.
I couldn’t understand what the hell the goddess was saying from earlier.
A heroine who feeds sweet potatoes is not popular, so even though she trembles while doing it, she soon thinks, ‘Wouldn’t it be surprising that a hero who should be righteous does bad things out of jealousy…’ ?’ Made her head dizzy.
“Okay… !”
Eventually, Iris let out a pained sound. In the eyes of people, the aura that had been pouring out seemed to have faded slightly.
‘I’m not tired.’
Of course, Anna, who knew the level of Master’s level, knew that it wasn’t because Iris was tired.
‘Is there a target? Invitation?’
After thinking for a moment, Anna’s eyes lit up. She had a swordsman’s intuition, and here she informed her that she had to dig in.
“Ha!”
Bang! Kwaaang! Every time Iris and Anna’s swords collided, the roar that erupted was brutal.
One blow showed destructive power that would only come out when the aura stored in the body of quite a few knights was released at once.
“Iris! After all, losing a little bit here… !”
“Huh!”
Because both sides were hurting herself, Iris had a teary face.
“Oh really!”
