When I returned home after finishing training, I saw Agnes and Bea with their cadet uniforms slightly torn.

He approached me and injected mana into the cadet’s uniform to restore it to its original state, and he thanked me as if he now understood.

The atmosphere between the two, which had been worrying recently, seemed to be better than before.

I ended the day feeling fortunate to be back before the tournament started.

The next day.

“Agrippina Academy! The finals of the 182nd tournament!! Let’s go now!!! I will do it!!!”

“““Wow!!!!”””

The tournament has begun.

An outdoor colosseum, not a training ground.

You may wonder why the preliminaries were held at the training center instead of here, but it takes 4 hours to get to the Colosseum by carriage from the Academy.

Since it is an 8-hour round trip, the preliminary round is held at the training center and the final round, or festival, begins at the Colosseum.

The stores nearby are similar to those near the Academy, so you can enjoy the festival here as well.

In fact, it would be more advantageous to not have to attend lectures for two weeks than that.

After the festival ends, instead of going back right away, the midterm exam starts right here the next day.

What is unusual is that there is no written exam in the midterm exam.

There is only a practical test.

This is not a bad thing for me or Bea.

While Agnes always studies hard, Bea only focuses on practical skills.

Even during lectures, people only look at me, and at other times, they practice rather than study.

I haven’t heard any exact information about the midterm exam, but I am confident about my practical skills.

“Now! Let me tell you about my future schedule!”

“The 13th day after the festival starts.”

“The finals begin.”

To put it simply, the number of games played per day is 8.

There is a one-day break between the round of 16, round 8, and round 4.

There is no gap between the semifinals and the semifinals, and the finals start after a two-day break.

This much is important.

“““Wow!!!!”””

The academy doesn’t really care about status, but there are still two dukes and one princess.

Since it was like this, we were given a special room and the three of us decided to go in together and see the Colosseum.

“Then, the first match…”

“Vera, would you like to come here for a moment?”

Just as the battle was about to begin, Bea called me and I turned around to see him lying on the bed behind him with his arms spread out.

“No.. I have to see Daejeon..”

“You can see it here too. How about Agnes? Don’t you think it would be a good idea to lie down here too?”

“Hmm. That would be nice. ruler! Let’s go!”

“Wow!”

Agnes, who was behind me, agreed with that opinion and lifted me up and headed to the bed.

As I approached, Bea, who was lying down, sat down and made me sit next to her.

Agnes sat on the other side and took one of her arms.

I focused on the battle, leaving the two people playing with my hands.

I didn’t hear their names, but two women holding swords are confronting each other.

One girl with brown hair and one girl with blue hair.

“Daejeon! Let’s start!”

As if they had been waiting for this, the two shot forward and began to clash.

Unlike Julia, she doesn’t use magic.

The two compete only with swordsmanship.

Kaaaa!!

Although the brown color was taken down vigorously.

Blue pulled away and shed water.

Brown has the upper hand in strength.

but.

Kang! Kaga River! Kagang! Kang! Kang!

When it comes to speed, blue is overwhelming.

Five sword strikes were carried out in succession.

But maybe because I focused too much on attack.

Unable to avoid Brown’s counterattack.

I blocked it.

Kaaa!!!

With a loud crashing sound.

The blue one started to float and fly away.

No matter how fast you are, if you are not a wizard, it is impossible to move while floating in the air.

Once it reached a certain level, it could move with wind pressure, but it was not trained to that degree.

Brown quickly stamped his feet towards blue.

Kwaaa!

It fell straight to the floor.

“Up there! Class 3 Ellen wins!”

“Oh.. you have good sense.”

He is learning exactly how to deal with opponents who are faster than him.

And even the skills to do it.

That kind of person is in class 3.

To what extent do people in other classes work?

I was a little excited.

I felt the pressure on my hands increasing, and when I looked up, I saw two women looking at a woman named Ellen with a murderous smile.

‘… sorry..’

While I was apologizing to Ellen in my mind, Agnes stood up.

No way, to deal with Ellen.

“.. I’ll be down in advance because it’s Daejeon next.”

“.. Okay.”

Fortunately, it wasn’t.

Well, it’s not that staged.

After Agnes left, Bea, who had monopolized me, made me sit in front of her instead of next to her and hugged me like a doll.

“Vera.”

“.. Uh.. Huh?”

Bea’s voice sounded eerie for some reason, and she answered with a slightly trembling voice.

The hug grew stronger and he whispered into my ear.

“If you turn your attention to someone other than us… we will trap you and eat you.”

“… Yes..”

.. My child has changed..

***

“Up there! Class 1 Cadet Agnes wins!”

In the battle between Agnes and Julia, Agnes won.

Every time I tried to concentrate, I couldn’t see properly because Bea touched me.

Agnes has grown since she sparred with me.

About one to two steps.

That’s an incredible growth rate.

There are many people who take years to climb a single flight of stairs, but climbing one or two stairs in just a few weeks is beyond the realm of a gifted person and is the realm of a genius.

Even though Julia was not a weak opponent, she was quite overwhelming.

Still not as much as me.

fetish fetish.

“Hi!.. I told you not to touch my side..”

“I like you too. Even though it’s good, it keeps happening..”

“No! And where did you learn that way of speaking?”

While I was thinking, I was startled by a sudden poke in the side.

I glared at Bea, who was covering her sides with her hands and smiling slyly, and then shifted my gaze to the Colosseum.

“.. Huh?”

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“.. Agnes’ expression was not good. I didn’t even lose.”

“Um… I see. On the contrary, he seems to be in a good mood.”

Agnes has a displeased face despite winning, and Julia has a happy face.

What happened between you two?

***

When Beatirus made a frightening declaration to Berador before the start of the game.

Agnes was waiting for her turn in the waiting room, polishing her weapon.

Meanwhile, a customer came.

“Hello. The 3rd princess…”

“Stop it. In the academy, everyone has the same status. Right, Julia?”

“.. I understand. Agnes.”

That guest was her opponent, Julia von Mercato.

I wonder if I have something to ask as I wiggle my fingers and avoid eye contact.

As this continued for over a minute, Agnes sighed.

“Haa… Isn’t there something you want to say?”

“Ahh!.. Well.. there is.. but.. I was wondering if the question might be unpleasant..”

“What kind of question makes you think I would be offended?”

“That’s a question related to Berador..”

Agnes doesn’t dislike questions related to Berador, but she feels a little uneasy.

Could it be that the pink hair in front of me also wants Berador?

No, then maybe he doesn’t like questions related to that.

Her mind was confused as to what question that was.

I prayed that it wasn’t the question I thought it was.

“Well.. are you really in love with Mr. Berador and Mr. Agnes?”

“.. Is that a question? Of course.”

“Well.. So.. Mr. Berador is threatening me or something like that..”

“Julia.”

Although he felt fortunate that it wasn’t the question he had thought about.

Agnes interrupted the continued conversation.

Did Berador force Agnes into a relationship by threatening her?

To Agnes, this is nonsense.

Just hearing it made her mood fall into that deep abyss.

“Please do not doubt the relationship between me and Dor. I truly love Dor”

“.. Okay.. I will rescue you somehow.”

“.. Yes?”

“No. I can tell without you saying any more. Well then, I’ll just leave.”

Julia, who was looking at Agnes with determination-filled eyes wondering what kind of delusion she was having, left the waiting room with those words.

Julia did not take Agnes’ words literally.

She thought of Agnes abruptly interrupting her conversation just now.

And he began to combine the information he had.

‘.. Master Berador was a vicious nobleman..’

‘Then Princess Agnes…’

‘I’m worried that I might end up in danger like you…’

‘..Princess Agnes…!’

As I finished thinking, loyalty to Agnes began to grow within me.

Then he took out the book in his arms and looked at it.

A novel I have been reading since I was young.

‘… As expected… reading mystery novels since I was young was helpful!’

My body trembled as I imagined myself apprehending that vicious nobleman.

That imagination continued even as I entered the waiting room on the other side.

“The battle begins. Cadet Julia…”

“Yes!”

No matter how much he sparred, he couldn’t swing his sword at Princess Agnes.

‘.. How dare you swing a sword at the princess.. It will never be possible..’

Therefore, a proper match could not be held, and Agnes won.

‘I… did it!!’

Contrary to Julia, who was happy on the inside, Agnes’s mood was headed towards the abyss.

Unlike what happened earlier, I was quite looking forward to the match with Julia.

I heard that Solar is strong, and I have never battled a magic swordsman other than Berador.

However, Julia is acting alone and not working properly.

I was so angry that I started to cry and ran quickly.

“Agnes is back… Ugh!”

“Uiii!!”

Buried Berador’s face in the room.

I didn’t want to show my crying face and wanted to be comforted by him.

Berador, who had lost all the air in his lungs due to Agnes’ sudden lunge, took a moment to catch his breath.

I patted Agnes, who was still shaking her shoulders with her face buried.

“Good.. kind..”

Although Berador was soothing her like a baby.

I didn’t hate it.
