Holy Sword Tournament Arc
---
(POV: Fanatio)
Fanatio Pendragon.
That is my name.
The daughter of Gal Pendragon, the renowned Sword King of the Shield Kingdom.
Our family's reputation stems from being the defenders of the Shield Kingdom's inhabitants, earning us the nickname "shield" among the populace.
For generations, there has always been a direct descendant of the Hero God, Saint Melcius, within our family, and my brother, Velzar Pendragon, is one.
He awakened his source, becoming a member of the 10 Battle Gods of Akaza, holding the coveted third seat.
Velzar's exceptional power was unrivaled and even deemed the Holy Sword Festival beneath his interest.
However, me, who aspired to escape my brother's shadow, such a person rendered me nothing more than the unremarkable second child of the Sword King.
Despite this, I prayed that my performance in the upcoming tournament would change my circumstances.
