The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

‘Am I afraid?’

As Yuria, she even briefly heard such thoughts, but no matter how much she thought about it, there was no part of herself that seemed scary.

“Do you have any problems?”

“Oh, no… no! Uh, no!”

However, Cynthia, trembling with fear, looked pathetic.

She seemed like she could win easily if she was an opponent in this condition as soon as she started the fight.

But that wasn’t what she wanted.

‘I didn’t come here to win like that.’

She didn’t decide to study at the Britannian Empire’s Minst Academy in order to win such trivial victories.

She didn’t want to win like that.

“Then why are you so nervous?”

That’s why Yuria pointed out in a sharp voice what she would have overlooked if she was her normal self.

According to the draw, her match was in third place, with an hour and a half remaining.

‘In the meantime, I need to wake up.’

And Cynthia answered as if she felt YuRia’s thoughts.

“I’m nervous… That, if I get hurt… He won’t get angry…”

At those words, Yuria realized where Cynthia was afraid.

She seemed to be afraid that if she was injured in her fight, her fiancé Theodore might retaliate.

“Wee, I heard that William cut off his limbs for touching you. Guess, if you don’t mind, can I just withdraw?”

Seeing Cynthia talking about her abstention, she seemed genuinely terrified.

However, realizing what she was afraid of, Yuria smiled and shook her head.

“No. Please fight with all your strength.”

“Yes?”

As if YuRia’s answer was unexpected, Cynthia widened her eyes and turned into a surprised expression.

However, the emotion of fear based on anxiety remained in her eyes.

She had no choice but to make a firm commitment to alleviate her fears that she would retaliate in case of injury.

“I swear on the name of my family. There will be no retaliation for winning or losing or injury in this match. So please fight with all your might.”

When YuRia made a promise to her by risking her family name, she could see Cynthia’s complexion becoming calm.

From noble mtl dot com

No, she seemed relieved as if there were quite a few people who were worried not only about her, but about that part of her in her heart.

‘It’s because of the name value of being the fiancée of the chosen one.’

Yuria felt that the value of the name

Of the Chosen One＞ Was greater than she thought.

But this too was just a part to overcome.

If she was barely enough to be buried under the name of her fiancé, she only meant that she was barely worth that much after all.

“I came here to prove my abilities. If Cynthia senpai doesn’t fight with all her might, it means nothing to me. So please fight with all your strength. And no matter how the outcome is won or lost, the winner will win.” I want it to end with congratulations to each other.”

“Oh, I see.”

Cynthia looked relieved and admired YuRia’s determination.

‘It’s okay.’

Judging by her expression, it seemed that she would be more aggressive in the confrontation.

Theodore was looking at the stadium from the stands.

‘Third Army.’

Today, YuRia’s match happened when it was the 3rd match.

30 Minutes is not only a time limit, but also a time to be considerate of the audience.

If the match was over in 10 minutes, it was also to give the spectators time to do other things for the remaining 20 minutes.

“The third match is Yuria Arsane?”

“Your opponent is Cynthia Collins. She is the head of the 3rd year Elemental School.”

“A rare elemental wizard is your opponent! It’s worth seeing?”

The grandstand was now full of students.

Students from various faculties, such as swordsmanship, magic, spirits, and spearmanship, left their faculties and were chatting with close friends.

There were even a lot of reporters and people who didn’t seem to have any relationship with Minst Academy in the stadium’s stands.

They gathered to enjoy the game as spectators.

‘Everyone is excited.’

As the saying goes, one of the most interesting spectacles is to watch a fight, and the fight between the students who were talented enough to take the top spot in their department and grade at Minst Academy was very worth watching from the point of view of the spectators.

Particularly, it was fun to think about who would win and to predict who would win.

From the moment the Round of 16 was confirmed, there would probably be bets on who would win.

“The chosen one’s fiancee is so beautiful?”

“Hey, student. Are those rumors true?”

“Ah, yes. To be honest, she’s so beautiful that I doubt if she’s a beauty fit for a real human being. Even though she’s a woman of the chosen, she’s like a flower on a cliff.”

“Ohhh, is it?”

“That’s interesting!”

I could hear the voices of people asking about Yuria and students answering about it.

They didn’t know that Theodore was now close to them, because Theodore used confusion-type magic that made them unable to properly recognize themselves around them.

‘I can’t be disturbed.’

I had to capture all of Yuria’s matches in my own eyes.

I couldn’t miss a single scene.

The time has come for Yuria’s Round of 32 match to begin.

Wow!

The fact that Yuria Arseiin was finally standing on the arena erupted into cheers from the people who had been expecting her appearance.

Then, a person who appeared to be a moderator with long hair and wearing sunglasses appeared.

“Everyone has been waiting for a long time! From now on, the match between Yuria Arsane, a 2nd year student from the Swords Department, who is an international student at Jayha Academy, and Cynthia Collins, the 3rd year head of the Spirit Department at Minst Academy, will begin!”

Clap clap clap-!

Wow!

As applause and cheers rang out, Theodore saw Yuria climbing up the arena.

Unlike Yuria, who came up the arena with only a sword, Cynthia Collins was carrying a long staff. She was

She was not a mage, but she was, but her spirit art was a structure in which the spirits not only let the spirits fight, but also participated.

So, in order to control the power more easily, I brought up the normal staff allowed in the tournament.

‘Just a normal staff that makes adjustments easy, that’s it.’

And Yuria’s sword was also sharp and strong, but it had no other special powers.

But for a swordsman, that was enough.

“Student Cynthia Collins is the third year head of the Elemental Faculty. She is the eldest daughter of the Collins family, famous for her grandfather’s family of Elementalists!”

The host first introduced Cynthia Collins. After finishing her introduction to Cynthia Collins, he then introduced Yuria.

“And! Student Yuria Arsane is the only student in this tournament who is not a student of Minst Academy, but an international student of Jaiha Academy! Do!”

The moderator did not comment on Yuria’s appearance, befitting her job.

Most people who saw her would say a word about her beautiful appearance, but looking at what she didn’t do, she seemed to be quite a professional person.

“Then let’s start the match between the two of you!”

Yuria and Cynthia, who were standing looking at each other with the announcer’s declaration of the start of the match, went into action right away.

The moment Yuria pulled out her sword and tried to attack Cynthia quickly, she could be seen creating spirits of various attributes.

Flame!

Support!

Koo Goong-

The flames of the fire spirit in the form of a lizard blocked Yuria’s path and tried to hinder her path.

The thunderbolt spirit in the shape of a small bird attacked Yuria threateningly while spraying thunderbolts.

An earth spirit resembling an old man was shaking the ground in the arena.

‘Is this really the way it is?’

It is not against the rules to damage the terrain of the stadium.

And it was clear that Cynthia Collins was trying to push Yuria with everything possible within that rule.

‘After the match, the archmages will restore the stadium on their own.’

Students just had to focus purely on the competition.

“Haaa!”

Her elemental powers gathered in Cynthia’s staff, and eventually they were seen shooting towards Yuria like a ray of light.

Since Cynthia’s attack is a fast-moving attack, it does not reach her high-level magic, but it has enough power to rival that of a middle-level magic.

But her attack was a mistake.

In Theodore’s eyes, he could see Yuria taking a defensive stance with her sword, blowing energy containing anti-resilience into her sword.

‘I’d rather have had a series of attacks, the match would have been longer.’

After Theodore’s appreciation, silence unfolded in the audience who were cheering in anticipation of a fierce confrontation between the two.

“What is it?”

“What happened?”
