54. The princess. (4)

Mutuje deliberately selects a large number of participants to advance to the finals.

It’s not the preliminaries, it’s because there are close to 1,000 people just advancing to the finals.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t that many people who actually participate in the finals.

Rather, at about 7-8%, they abstained at that point.

There is a reason for such a strange culture.

Mutuje is a festival that has its own symbolism just by passing through the finals.

In other words, even if you enter the main round, you will win. It is a kind of career.

It is also for knights. The same goes for mercenaries.

It’s not common, but there were often knights whose minimum joining condition was to pass the finals of Mutuje.

And in the case of mercenaries, it was even worse.

The most important thing in the mercenary industry, where lives come and go from one request to another, is to know one’s own skills.

That’s why mercenaries who declared their withdrawal in advance are rated higher than mercenaries who won and lost once in the finals.

The story is that surrendering in advance is cheaper than losing in the finals.

Unless you have the confidence to win, or at least the confidence to advance to the round of 16 or higher.

Of course, there are always people who don’t know their fraction.

The story that there is a reason why the finals are still in the round of 128 even though so many people have decreased.

Siela, who was reading the newspaper, muttered after reading a phrase.

“A lot of swordsmen who don’t even know their subject, usually at the lower level of expert, participate…… That’s right, Bocchan.”

“…… Siela. Isn’t that what you want me to hear?”

Legendary expert.

A prosecutor who doesn’t even know the subject.

To say it was a coincidence, it was a subtle repetition of words.

“——Ah, no! I read what was written in the Mu-Tu-Ji analysis newspaper! Really!”

Did he realize what he said sounding like belatedly?

With that being said, Ciela showed me the newspaper, unable to hide her bewildered expression.

“Yes. That’s what you were thinking…….”

“Jung, is it really?”

Because Ciela’s round eyes were so cute.

I pretended to be hurt, but I inadvertently let out a laugh.

She only saw it when she realized that she had been tricked, and Ciella shuts her mouth.

“…… You’re kidding me again!”

“You’re kidding. These are all expressions of affection. You know how much I care, Ciela?”

An expression of affection.

Upon hearing her words, her face turned red for a moment, and then, realizing that this was also her joke, Ciela pouted her mouth.

It wasn’t a lie to say that she cared for her.

If I do this more, I might get angry.

It’s not uncommon for Ciela to get pouty.

She felt strangely sadistic about wanting to bully her a little more here.

After you get really angry, you won’t even talk for a few days.

For now, I decided to stop here.

While listening to the conversation between me and Ciela, Lucia lightly nodded her head.

“Well, Kale is an exception. I don’t think that’s an expert lower class…… Who would think?”

Exceptions.

I thought maybe that was just right.

Yes what.

Rather than considering the possibility that the lower level sword expert is actually a regressor and a former sword master.

It might be more normal to classify it as an exception.

Exceptions.

Perhaps that was the category that Lucia had been classified her whole life.

She is only 17 and in 7 circles. She was a sorceress and only a few years later she reached the 8th Circle.

I don’t know why.

As if she was very proud, Lucia’s shoulders shrugged considerably when she said that.

I was about to nod her head, but with a strange sense of defiance, I said.

“…… I don’t think the person who was so worried about not being able to put on her armor until morning has something to say?”

Wasn’t it fretful not to be able to hold her armor, magic tool, and even scroll?

Of course, she refused all of them. She couldn’t carry it by the rules.

I wonder if there was a part that got stabbed. Lucia rolled her eyes.

“Ugh. That’s right, her opponent was also an advanced expert. If. I might get hurt…….”

“It’s a joke. Thank you for your concern.”

Let’s move on like that.

Lucia tries to say something, but mumbles her mouth as if she is speechless.

Ray, who had been quietly watching her conversation, opened her mouth with a trembling expression.

“…… The atmosphere is very free-spirited.”

She was Ray, who never came out of her house at all. She

If I had to mix her words up, it would have been only her handmaids or butlers.

If I had to go out and interact with others, most of them would have been members of the royal family or high-ranking nobles.

There’s no way they’d be having this kind of free-spirited – to put it badly – downhill conversation.

It seems that such an informal conversation was amazing.

There is one way to think that if it was another imperial family, it would be inferior.

Ray had a slightly shy expression on her face, but she didn’t feel repulsive at all.

“What. Still, this relaxed atmosphere isn’t bad, is it?”

“No. That’s not what…….”

“…… ?”

When I said that wasn’t the case, she tilted her head for a moment.

As if Ray was wondering if he had to say these things himself. Her mouth pouted, then she said.

“Sir Dagnes. Is it okay not to cheer?”

“…… Ah.”

Only then, where her eyes reach.

I saw Dagnes preparing for the match of Mutuje.

Come to think of it. This match was Dagnes.

Only then did I understand Ray’s expression.

I can’t believe Dagnes went down to participate in the tournament.

She looked like she was not going to cheer.

…… She honestly forgot.

No, that’s right. Not if you just went down for a contest.

She went down to the waiting area early, about two hours before her turn, and was waiting for her turn.

How do you humanly know that it will come out now?

And above all,

At that, I shrugged her shoulders.

“I don’t know if it seemed that way. What. In fact, if it’s Sir Dagnes, I don’t have to worry about whoever the opponent is.”

Apart from me, Lin is the most likely candidate to win the Mutou Festival.

And Dagnes is on par with Rin.

There is no way I can lose at the current level.

And.

As far as I know, the opponent in the first round is an expert intermediate.

Aren’t they objectively inferior opponents?

To put it bluntly, he’s not even an opponent that can hold Dagnes’ ankles.

“…… I know Sir Dagnes is an expert knight. Still, unexpected variables may arise. Young master Kale…… Just like he defeated an expert-level mercenary.”

A shape that talks about exceptional cases.

Hagisa, the first match she saw was a match in which the lower experts overpowered the upper ones.

…… Although that was an exception for the low-class country.

I beat the upper level even though I was a lower level expert.

Isn’t it strange that an expert intermediate opponent defeats an advanced Dagnes?

“Okay. Maybe. You’ll know when you see it. Why did I boast?”

It is difficult to jump over one level of expert and overwhelm an opponent.

However, it was not impossible at all, so it happened often.

Because the level of aura didn’t mean the level of swordsmanship.

“I assure you. Dagnes, like me, will be finished with one sword.”

“Seol…… Don’t Even so, the opponent is an expert intermediate level.”

“The princess doesn’t know Dagnes yet. No. I know Dagnes, the ‘person’, but I don’t know Dagnes, the ‘knight’.”

She knows a man named Dagnes.

Dagnes as a knight does not know.

She didn’t even see his preliminaries. Maybe it’s natural

Dagnes wasn’t even an ordinary advanced expert.

Above all.

In a month, he completely melted his sword into his own sword.

Puuu!

The trumpets sounded to announce the start of the match.

An honorable knight of the White Lion Knights has risen to the arena of Mutuje.

* * *

‘I assure you. Dagnes, like me, will be finished with one sword.’

No matter what.

That would be an unfounded assertion.

It is much more difficult to subdue an opponent while keeping him alive than to kill him.

Even Ray, who was confined to the royal villa and only had access to the outside world through books, knew this.

There is a difference between the expert intermediate level and the advanced level by one level.

In the meantime, there wasn’t even a wall built that would normally be overwhelming.

The best sword expert. I don’t know if I’m a sword master.

It is almost impossible to subdue an opponent with a single sword unless you are lucky.

Princess Kale is strange.

Puuu!

Then the trumpets sounded to announce the start of the match.

Dagnes climbed into the arena.

The start of the duel.

──Sereung.

Dagnes exchanged glances with his opponent and then drew his sword.

I drew my sword.

Even though he hadn’t raised his mana yet, hadn’t put an aura on his sword, and hadn’t even wielded a desperate sword.

That alone changed his momentum.

No, is it correct to say that it has changed?

No.

This wasn’t a change in momentum, it was the momentum that Dagnes had originally harbored.

In front of the enemy, neither compromise nor understanding.

A knight who follows his own line and is honest enough to be called foolish.

Momentum close to its essence.

The swordsmen, aiming their swords at each other in the center of the venue, paused for a moment.

The first to move was the opponent, an expert intermediate swordsman.

Paaah!

At the same time as overlaying an aura on the sword, the opponent is aiming for Dagnes at a very high speed.

“…… !”

Because that sword was extremely fast and sharp.

Ray, who was watching the match, involuntarily swallowed his breath.

Wield your sword quickly to block it.

Or avoid it. One of the two will have to do.

However.

Even with such a fast sword in front, Dagnes’ sword did not harbor any impatience.

That honest knight didn’t even dodge an attack.

I didn’t even think to stop it in a hurry.

Just.

I swung my sword.

Kuuu—!

In an instant, the illusion that the air itself was weighed down heavily.

Defense Sword.

Stubbornness as strong as honesty.

It could be said that it is a belief that follows chivalry,

And the next moment with Dagnes’s sword spread with conviction.

I was holding down the opponent’s sword.

Kwajik.

An opponent’s sword that could not withstand the heavy energy and soon broke with one shot.

From noble mtl dot com

“Wow, wow… ….”

Ray let out an unconscious sigh.

Kung. Thud.

My heart beat faster when I saw Dagnes’ sword.

Ray was completely unfamiliar with swords.

That sword is so amazing.

In order to wield a sword like that, he instinctively sensed that Dagnes must have trained himself over and over again.

Excitement and uplift.

And excitement.

She opened her eyes wide and couldn’t take her eyes off Dag Ness.

Cale looked at him and smiled.

“Even after the Mutu festival, I will send you often.”

“…… Yes?”

“To the western palace. I’ll send you Lord Dagnes from time to time. It looks like you want to die.”

It took 3 seconds for Ray, whose head rolled half a beat late, to understand the meaning of the words.

Exactly three seconds later.

Like firecrackers explode. Ray’s face turned red.
