-Ne Kaito, are you so angry?
-Whatever.
"Whatever", it would probably have been more than twenty times when I heard this sentence from Kaito's mouth today, and it would have been a hundred times counting the past few days.
The result of the match between Kaito and Rin, was the result that no precedent had ever occurred. A draw.
At that time, in the chaos that dozens of stone stakes crashed into those sharp spears. With just one punch, they both defeated the other. Because it was so unexpected, no one could make a decision as to exactly who had first struck and chose the winner.
Naturally, neither of them would accept the outcome. But they couldn't reorganize either, so the final decision was that the winner of the next quarterfinals was set to go straight to the final.
After the day that this decision was made, Kaito always felt uncomfortable with everything, Rin was silent and ignored the others. This also makes the atmosphere of this whole room "plummeted without braking". And when I try to say something to cheer them up, the answer I get is something I never expected.
-Shut up! How can anyone who gets to the finals like you!
Yes, even I was surprised at my own ability. "Not fighting with all my strength" though told himself that, but in the end, I did not keep that promise.
The wounds created by the whip have now become scars. Because I was so used to wounds, I didn't feel anything anymore.
Is it day or night? How many days have passed since that day?
-Why, I have a gift for painting?
He put the whip on the table and looked at the "artwork", the two diagonal lines on Gaido's chest formed an X-shape.
The wound was deep, so the blood still bleed a lot even after a few hours had passed. He went out and left the guard behind. Different from him, this guy always seems bored with the assigned task, so he sometimes makes silly tricks. Girida, he calls himself.
-Ne!
-Huh?
-That plan ... is it true?
-Oh, Jinku told you already.
Biting the sentence, the teacher smiled, silently celebrating the victory for cheating the idiot.
-Yes, we will attack that damn arena. By the way, what is his name ... Romu ... rome ... um ...
So they will attack there. Time to get out of here.
-Dear my dear subjects, welcome to the last match, the final to choose who is worthy of the title of knight.
-Yeahhhh !!!
-Now let me invite two young gladiators to the ring. Shie of class 3-B of East Surima, he was also known as the Eastern king, and Kazuto of class 1-A of North Surima, the school brought many surprises this year when the majority of representatives were the first year and one of them made it to the final.
"King", I thought. He must have been very good at trying high-level water spells, so he was called that.
Stepping onto the stage, his good looks attracted the gaze of the girls and when he waved back his eyes they screamed his name.
Is this a fashion show, I sigh. Instead of wearing the school uniform like the others, he wore a blue striped white jacket like ripples, in a white shirt and tie. His pants were hung with a cloth with the words "number one".
Looking straight at me, he was smiling and for a moment, the jacket flew up in the air. At this moment, the screams of the girls in the bleachers were twice as loud as earlier.
Just do it, although I really want to say it, I'm a senior, so I kept quiet.
-Well ... Let the show begin!
The drums began to sound, with only the stomping of their feet, sharp spikes were protruding and charged towards me. As expected, his name "King" is not just for show. Because even though I practiced with Haya a lot, even when he's serious, I still don't see him being able to chant magic that way.
-Well. Too simple.
Holding up his left two fingers, he swiped to the right and immediately a large icicle appeared. Although I had used explosion magic to change the direction of the air, I was given a long scratch on my left arm.
I need to attack or I'll get cornered, I thought and summoned the long sword.
-Haizz, a simple sword. Let me show you what the true beauty of a weapon is.
Like a backward waterfall appearing right below his feet, the water gradually formed the shape of a trident. The "trident" in that water momentarily closed and patted and formed a trident complete with patterns like ripples plated with gold.
-Aaa !! Poseidon!
I sighed, wondering if this was a good match or a show of his beauty and strength. And I'm sure a scarecrow was added so he has a target to attack for the show. But now there is another name "sea god".
Just by raising the trident forward, a series of sharp spindles of ice rose up and charged toward where I stood. Despite chanting a spell on the sword and slashing a large "blaze of fire" shattering the icicles and flying towards him, he easily stopped them by knocking the trident on the floor and creating a wall of equal strength. water evaporates it.
If it is impossible to attack from afar, melee combat is best, I thought to myself, and charged towards him.
Ignoring the approaching opponent, he just stood there, grinning, turning the trident back and forth with his hands as if performing.
-Koong!
Pausing back, he tapped the tip of the trident to the floor.
-Oh!
The stage suddenly became slippery, causing me to lose momentum and fall. Then the whole stage suddenly became like a lake. I could see that he was laughing at that moment, but despite that, I stood up and kept going.
-King!
The sound of metal hitting each other rang, because the length of the trident as well as the ability to use gracefully made it impossible for me to get close.
-Want to see magic?
-What?
He swung his left hand and an icicle appeared. The moment I swung the sword, it turned into water, and when the water hit me in the face it turned to ice and gave me a few scratches.
Now the stage is like his area, I thought. If so, it would be easier if I were up there. Using explosive spells, I pushed myself up from there and then chanted magic on the sword and dived down.
-So that's your way.
He plugged the tip of the trident to the floor. Then a huge wave appeared and approached me. If based on the position I'm here, that wave column is about 5 meters high. Were swept away by the wave column, I was fortunate enough to put the sword on the floor otherwise I would have fallen to the ground.
-Heez ... pant ...!
- Have you ever heard of Megalodon?
-Huh?
-It is the largest monster in the sea, considered the king of the sea. And although I can't make it as big as ...
He knocked the handle of the trident on the floor again, the floor, or rather, the water below my feet gradually began to shake.
Carrying a blood-stained sword on his shoulder, overlooking the sunlit forest.
Time to go back.
-Haha ... You lost, Gaido ... lost ...
-Huh?
His left arm was cut off, his body was pierced by an iron rod, though this Jinku still laughed, looking very satisfied with his physical pain.
-... you were ... too late.
Taking his last weak breath, he died, with a smile on his face.
Sighing and turning away, Gaido-sensei rushed towards the kingdom.
A huge tooth appeared below my feet, followed by a pull up. Clenching my left hand that was now held up, the pile of water that was causing me to hover in the air rolled up into a ball that locked me in it.
Dammit! Breathless!
-If you let go of the sword, I will treat you as surrendering and let you go. Come on ...
Seeing him struggling in vain, Yumi fearlessly dared to open her eyes.
I gradually lost my consciousness, the surrounding image gradually became blurry as if I was falling into nothingness.
Just like when I saw Chiaki.
As if the survival instincts of a human were activated, I raised my left hand, a lightning flashed through my hand and created a sharp knife. I threw it towards him, but not hit, but the lightning launched the knife has spread around the water and made him also "full" and fell to his knees. Thanks to that, the water ball also disappeared and I fell down. Trying to pour out all the water that had flowed into you and looked back up. I realized the audience was starting to whisper about it just now. Yes, I broke my own taboo as well as my promise to Gaido-sensei, letting others know that I am the possessor of two systems.
-Boom!
-Bam!
After the loud bangs in the distance, pillars of smoke began to appear.
What happening!?
