The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

135 – {Semi-Finals}

{Semi-Finals}

‘My sister has already been with Theodore before the sun goes down.’

Every time Lillia saw YuRia, she still couldn’t shake the thought that the phrase that a well-behaved cat would go up to her pier curtain first couldn’t go so well with her.

But she didn’t say anything, she just stayed still.

Because what she had to do now wasn’t arguing about this.

‘Because this isn’t what I have to do.’

She herself will be by Theodore’s side.

That is enough.

With that thought, Lilia soothed her envy today.

Frederick Palin.

The head of Minst Academy’s swordsmanship department, if it weren’t for Yuria Arsane, all the students at Minst Academy would have picked him as a candidate for the championship.

And he had skills worthy of that evaluation.

“The winner is Frederic Palin, the head of the 4th year swordsmanship department!”

The audience erupted in cheers at the announcer’s declaration.

And Owen Lawrence, the head of the 2nd year swordsmanship department who fought against him but lost, struggled to get up from his seat and lowered his head.

“My defeat. Senior.”

“You were great too.”

After lightly exchanging good wishes, Owen came down the arena with a sense of regret.

Magicians who had learned the waiting magic for healing came and prepared to treat him, but he felt like he kept looking at the arena out of regret.

‘In the end, we didn’t get a rematch.’

He hoped for her rematch with Yuria Arsein, but it didn’t work out and she felt sad that she had fallen ahead of her semi-final match.

It was because he wanted to meet her again and win in a rematch, be it in the semifinals or the finals.

‘It’s because of my lack of skill.’

Owen was unsure if she would be stronger than him two years later, even considering that Frederick Palin, who had won against her, was two years her senior, two years older than her.

‘You can’t think that if you work hard, you will always lose. But I’m not even sure I’ll win. Whoa.’

Owen left his regret behind.

Yuria Arsane successfully defeated her opponent, Princess Louise, and advanced to the semi-finals, but she herself fell in the quarter-finals and was eliminated.

‘I must work harder.’

Even if a rematch with Yuria Arsane was concluded, he felt even more strongly after seeing her skills that he was unlikely to win.

So he tried harder.

“My opponent is Sirius Carter, the head of the spearmanship department in the third year.”

In the yard of her dorm, Yuria checked the information of her own opponent, which was set in her semi-final match.

Actually, as I watched him fight not in the quarterfinals but in the round of 32 and round of 16, I couldn’t get much new information about the fight in the quarterfinals, which I confirmed through the video shown by Theodore.

But as she reviewed his fighting style again, she got a feel for how to deal with him.

‘I can’t just think of it as a sword-to-sword confrontation since I use a spear as a weapon.’

As long as the spear was used, the distance would have been longer that way.

In addition, since he was a skilled spearman, a simple countermeasure would not be effective.

‘The technique of increasing the distance using Ki can also be used by the opponent, so be careful when using it.’

Increasing the distance unconditionally did not make it stronger, but it was true that it was useful in many ways.

“Yuria, would you like to try spearmanship before tomorrow’s match?”

“Theo wants to do it himself?”

“I will.”

Theodore opened the subspace and pulled out a long spear.

After that, he showed me how to lightly swing his spear a few times, and Yuria recognized at once that he had reached a considerable level in the way he used his spearmanship skills.

‘No, I think he’ll be much better than Sirius Carter.’

Theodore excelled in all fields.

In fact, Theodore also showed overwhelming skills with spearmanship several times at the Jayha Academy, but the way he handled the spear at that time was quite different from Sirius’s spearmanship.

To compare it to a sword, if Sirius’s spearmanship is a spearmanship similar to a swordsman’s swordsmanship that seeks an opportunity while gently shedding an enemy’s attack, then Theodore’s spearmanship is a spearmanship similar to that of a swordsmanship that focuses on overpowering power. Was

However, Theodore showed that spears could be handled in a similar way to swordsmanship.

“I’ll ask for a favor.”

Yuria immediately drew her sword and took a serious stance.

Theodore, who read her will, also nodded his head.

“Come with all your might. Come by all means.”

“Yes!”

Just like that, Yuria’s thrust, wrapped around her sword, was directed at Theodore.

“Today is finally the semi-final!”

“Is tomorrow the last time we can see Yuria Arsane?”

“If you have feelings for the chosen one’s fiancée, give up. She’s not a woman you dare to flirt with.”

“Damn, I know that. It’s just because I’m a fan. Even if I’m not the chosen one’s fiancée, there’s no way I can be the eldest daughter of the Duke of Arsane, right?”

Among the audience, even Yuria’s fans had already formed.

It was rather strange that her overwhelming beauty and body, as well as her excellent skills, as well as her status as the fiancée of the Chosen One and the princess of a duchy, even though she was from a foreign country, did not create a fandom for her.

“Come out!”

The crowd could see Yuria Arsane and Serious Carter step up ahead of their semi-final bout.

Today, as usual, the audience cheered enthusiastically as YuRia stood on her stage in a white T-shirt and black leather hot pants.

And today, a presenter with long hair and sunglasses gave a speech.

“Guys! Today is finally the semi-finals! Finally, this tournament is in its second half! The winners who advance to tomorrow’s finals will be decided here today!”

At the words of the moderator, the crowd cheered even more.

Clap clap clap-!

Wow!

Yuria! Yuria! Yuria!

However, there was much more support from the crowd who cheered for Yuria amidst the cheers.

Of course, it was only natural that the cheers of the audience would focus on Yuria, the most beautiful woman in the Arkan Empire and actually the most beautiful woman on the continent, rather than Serious, her dull man.

But to the two competing, it was a trivial matter that they didn’t have to worry about.

There was only one winner in this match, and that winner had to do his best to become himself.

“Today, as you all know, Yuria Arsane, a sophomore in the Faculty of Swordsmanship who is an international student at Jayha Academy, will not give a long introduction! We sincerely hope that her excellent swordsmanship will surprise us today as well. .”

Even at the moment the moderator introduced Yuria, she introduced her swordsmanship rather than her beauty with her professional spirit.

“Also, student Sirius Carter, as the head of Minst Academy’s 3rd year spearmanship department, advanced to the semi-finals with spearmanship that fewer people use than swordsmanship! !”

After the introduction of Serious Carter, the moderator continued to declare.

“Then, I’ll announce the start of today’s match between the two of you in 5 seconds! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Here we go!”

With the announcer’s declaration, the confrontation between the two who were already standing on top of the arena began.

* * *

Theodore watched as Yuria cautiously raised her sword and dealt with Sirius.

She said she would never lose to Serious if she had her skills.

However, in a fight, there were variables unless there was an overwhelming difference, and if you were careless, you could suffer great damage.

‘I’ll have to be careful as long as it’s not an overwhelming difference, but there’s no need to worry.’

As Theodore watched Yuria fight, he confirmed that she was stable and undisturbed.

But it was clear that Sirius Carter would not be taken lightly either.

She wants to prove herself by taking down her opponent through her own efforts, so Serious Carter was a good opponent for her to prove it.

‘There’s just something I’m concerned about.’

But Theodore sensed one thing that bothered her.

It was a strange wave that was felt throughout the city.

‘I can’t let anything interfere with my fiancee’s match.’

Theodore left the seat after installing a magic that could replace her sight in her audience.

It was a pity that she couldn’t watch Yuria’s match right away, but she had something to deal with first.

He had to get rid of all the obstacles so that she could compete safely and compete in the finals tomorrow.
