Swish swish swish swish!

“Eww!!!”

“Ah …

“It’s amazing that such a huge body can check things faster than ordinary inspectors.”

“Still, it seems like there are no skills related to the Guardian profession as rumored.”

“It’s a shame that we won’t be able to see the skills of the famous Riovent family.”

Inside the stadium, Ad’s brutal training was taking place, accompanied by the loud broadcasting sounds of the commentators.

“Aren’t you too strong!? Since we know each other, go easy on me!”

“Swing your sword once more at the thought of speaking.”

bang!

Okay!

“Stop!! Save me!!!”

beep!!!

Just as the signal from the shinpan signaled the end of the match, Ad’s greatsword stopped a sheet of paper away from his opponent, Deer’s face.

Deer’s eyes rolled back and he fell to the floor.

Regardless, loud cheers were heard from the broadcasting station.

“Ah!! In the middle of talking, Acrylic Academy’s abstention came up!!”

“Contrary to his profession as a Guardian, the swordsmanship of the Adjunct was truly amazing.”

“Both sides worked hard, but even now, thinking about how hard the Adjuncts were at fighting makes me shudder.”

“Yes, I hope the opposing player wasn’t seriously injured.”

“Ah!!!! Currently in District 4, Cadet Lina is here!!!”

‘I’ve been wondering this for a while now.’

Is that okay? I don’t think I’ll be able to speak tomorrow…

I thought for a moment, then shook my head and turned my gaze to the direction of the earth.

Now, instead of worrying about the necks of the commentators, they had to focus on observing Ad’s movements.

Now that there is no Lina to stop it.

My first priority is to hold the reins of Ad, not worry about anyone else.

Fortunately, I knew it was a big competition, so I didn’t lose my mind like I did when I fought you.

Given the nature of Ad’s actions, it was no different than having a bomb in front of you that could explode at any time, anywhere.

As evidence, if the whistle had blown even a little late in this fight, that woman named Dia would have been seriously injured. Even if she was a cadet known to be an elite, if she was hit by that greatsword, she would have suffered at least serious injuries.

‘Just be a little gentle…’

I thought it was going to really explode this time.

Anyway, I can’t feel at ease.

“I’ve completely lost consciousness! Move quickly!”

The sight of Dia being carried out on a stretcher and the medical staff urgently carrying her away came into my view.

I bowed my head slightly and clasped my hands together.

‘Don’t be too resentful.’

I guess they adjusted their strength too.

…isn’t it?

Anyway, I’m sorry.

After a brief moment of silence, I smiled and turned my head towards Ade.

“Where!”

“Don’t call me friendly.”

“It’s so chilly, why didn’t you just take it easy? What if this kid gets traumatized?”

“That’s not the kind of thing that happens.”

“Do you know each other?”

“I knew him a little in the past.”

“That’s fortunate.”

“And trauma is a luxury for the inspector.”

“…”

I laughed out loud at his remark and tilted my head.

He continued speaking in a voice filled with anger, as if he had not noticed my bewildered expression.

“What are you laughing at, you loser.”

“No, it’s funny that you say that.”

“What?”

“No, let’s go down quickly before the next team comes up.”

“I…already got over it…don’t ignore it.”

Ad’s monologue rang in my ears, but I didn’t bother to react.

I didn’t want to fight with Adoh anymore, and I didn’t even want to touch the sharp needles.

He is not an ignorant person.

You probably know your own condition best. And it would be a nuisance for me to intervene now when I don’t even know the overall flow of the story.

Of course, I don’t mean I don’t do anything. I knew this would happen, so I ended up reading ’10 Ways to Comfort a Monkey’!

“Your sword is faster than before?”

First of all, praise.

This should allow the other person to open up and share their concerns.

At this time, people’s reactions are all different.

You might be happy, or you might shed tears of emotion. That reaction is okay!

I already have all those reactions memorized…?

“Are you ignoring me, you idiot?”

‘what?’

…there was no way to deal with this kind of reaction in the book.

I waved my hands urgently and denied his words.

“In the past, you could see your sword, but now you can only see a certain amount, so I’m praising you! It’s definitely not something to ignore.”

“…Are you kidding me? You don’t mean to say you want to fight me here, do you?”

“That’s not true…”

For some reason, Adele became even more angry and left the stadium first.

Although it was unfair, it was my fault for not expecting that kind of reaction.

I decided to prepare more thoroughly next time, and I followed him down from the stadium.

No matter what happens, this is already the 5th game and there are 5 more games to go.

To be honest, I wasn’t tired because I was doing everything, but it’s inevitable that I’m exhausted from all the stares from people.

‘Sarah is doing well…’

***

Okay!!

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, have you gotten a little rusty? ”

bang!

“Who’s judging whom? Ugh…”

“Ugh, it’s dirty…!”

“Dirty…ugh…”

“You don’t look well, so why don’t you give up quickly?”

“Are you going to do something like this?”

“Right, if you give up because of something like this, I won’t be able to leave you alone, who has been expecting you so much!!”

bang!

“Ah!! In the midst of the ongoing battle, Cadet Sara looks a bit precarious.”

“Unlike Zone 2, Zone 4 is being pressured more by Acrylic Academy.”

“It’s a fight between ‘Acrylic Academy’ and ‘Taros Academy’ where there’s no telling who’s superior!!”

Lina, who had been watching the whole fight, shouted.

“Lina, it’s okay…!”

“Do you have time to worry about that?”

bang!

“Asumi…”

“Sorry, we’re not in a position to let you see that.”

‘I know.’

This isn’t a match that can be ended just because someone is sick.

Everyone is burning with passion for their own score. What can I do?

I’d rather have a 1 vs. 2… No, my opponents are also students from a prestigious academy.

They are kids I’ve known for a long time.

We already know each other’s abilities.

Even if we combine our strength, it’s a losing battle.

Please, come to mind.

What should I do… How can I win…?

“Lina, fighting!”

“Logs?”

“You must be having a hard time carrying a burden like Sarah! But I and Adega are cheering you on, so do your best!”

“Who’s a load of crap, ugh…fuck.”

“Poohaha!”

“Don’t laugh!”

A ray of light appeared on Lina’s hardened face. Lina didn’t know why.

“Interference during sparring will result in disqualification.”

That was because the referee stopped him before he could realize that feeling. But it was okay.

Because that wasn’t important right now.

Lina simply thought, what would he have done?

“Sarah!!”

“Uh,huh!? Why are you calling me all of a sudden!”

“This is just one of the nine districts!”

“What is that…”

“That is, if the number of people here says 100, then 1/9 of the people here are looking at us. And if you divide that by 4, that number is the number looking at you!”

“…Huh?”

Sarah is not good at studying, so I don’t think she would understand what I mean if I told her this.

That’s why.

That’s fortunate.

“To put it simply, the people watching you here are more than just our academy students!”

“So there aren’t many people watching me?”

‘…I like Sarah because she’s simple.’

“Then you don’t have to worry about it!”

“That’s right, that’s it, Sarah!”

“I’m going to be serious from now on!!”

“The reward for waiting is what you want!

As expected, Sarah has regained her original power. Now there’s no need to worry about that side.

now…!

bang!

“Lina, you’re young?”

Lina blushed at Asumi’s words and denied her words.

“That’s not it!”

“No way!”

bang!

“I waited for you to flirt, so don’t disappoint me anymore!!”

“Of course!!”

Their swords clashed strongly.

BANG!!

*

“You almost got disqualified at that time, you piece of shit.”

“So what, now Lina has relaxed and Sarah has returned to normal.”

Ad made a face like, ‘Are you calling that an excuse?’

At first glance, it looks like he’s angry.

But Addo must be secretly expecting those two to come up. Otherwise, Addo, who could grab me by the collar right now, would have no reason to stay still like this.

“It’s easier to understand than I thought.”

“Shut up.”

“If possible, you want to fight those two too, right?”

“How do you know whether those two will win or lose?”

“Those two aren’t just ordinary swordsmen, and their teamwork is perfect, needless to say. No matter how strong the opponent is, as long as you don’t let your guard down, you’ll almost always win.”

“You’re overestimating them both.”

“Can I say that? ”

“What’s with that grumpy expression?”

I hid the smile I was wearing and shamelessly raised my shoulders.

“Nothing, but you should be nervous. Those two should easily beat someone like you.”

“I know.”
