“I’ll go then, Lars-kun!”
“Yeah, take it easy.”
“Yes!”
Kudelica, who is smiling took her wooden axe and headed for the field with a cheerful wave of her hand. The opponents are already waiting for him.
“Nice to meet you!”
“Nice to meet you.”
“It was an overwhelming victory, but it looks like C-Class isn’t giving up.”
“Depending on the points, they can just barely hold on to second place, so they might be aiming for that.”
“They need to be greedy and take what they can get.”
“Of course! At least second place!”
“Good luck, Berkreis!”
“Stick to the plan!”
(T/N: I changed Berg Reiss to Berkreis, because I thought the Berg part was his last name. )
Safe commentation …… But is it just me, or does it seem a little underwhelming, perhaps because Basleigh-sensei was sent flying?
Anyway, the C-Class members were cheering for their fellow students on the field as Verna-sensei and Rosalia-sensei broadcasts. The opponent was a little bigger than the other kids, and was wearing full body armor. The armor was free, but would she be able to move in it?
“Begin ……!”
Tigre-sensei, who was somehow trying to stay conscious, gave the signal, and first of all, Kudelica took the distance to wait and see the situation. Unlike Scepter, this time it was a long wooden sword …… called a longsword.
This is obviously a disadvantage since she is using a wooden axe and has a considerable reach difference from the smaller Kudelica. However, Kudelica is not afraid to reach out and estimate the distance between her and her opponent.
“Yes! This is it!”
“What is it? What will you do with this distance–.”
When Kudelica bends her knees and smiles, Berkreis also gets ready and gives her a curious look. Makina and I were both laughing our heads off at the sight. At that moment, Berkreis’ expression stiffened.
“She’s gone ……!?”
“Berkreis, above you.”
The kid named Deuce, who fought Nora in the magic combat competition, pointed his finger up and shouted, and I looked up hurriedly. That kid’s watching closely, huh.
“Yahhhhhhhh!”
“Chiiii!”
Kudelica swung her axe down with a loud shout. He tried to thrust his sword out to intercept it, but it was too late, so he took a stance to receive it.
“Kuu, keep going just like that!”
Makina raised her fist in the air and shouted, and right after that, the axe touched the long sword.
“Oguh!?”
Kudelica, who is using [Superhuman Strength] attack power is not average. It’s even more powerful than before, because it’s always on and under load.
The weight of the blow caused her upper body to slump forward and her knees to bend. As soon as she landed, she rotated her body and gave chase. I can hear the wind whistling through the air as far as here.
“Another blow ……!”
“……!? This is nothing!”
Berkreis avoided the approaching axe by falling forward on his own. But Kudelica didn’t miss the chance, and moved aside to kick in.
“Ei!”
“Uwoooooaaaaah!? DId it rip just now!? It ripped even though it was an iron armor!?”
The girl outside the field started shouting at Berkreis, who was rolling around.
“Hey, Bell! Don’t you dare run away!”
“You idiot, Anne!? I’ll die if I take that, you know ……!?”
“Go die! You’re gonna have to do this that way.”
“Yeah ……”
“I’m still coming!”
Berkreis looked terribly uncomfortable, but quickly regained his stance. In the meantime, Kudelica, seeing that she has the upper hand, hurls her axe with all her might.
“You! You!”
“Oh!? Hoh~!? …… Oraa!”
“Hyaaaa!?”
A long sword swung wildly hits Kudelica’s breastplate, startling her and making her move away. The onslaught had already left Berkreis gasping for air on his shoulder.
“This is a win for Kuu.”
“Yeah. If he pushes him like that, he’ll just have to give up.”
“Even I have a hard time with close range, so I think it’ll be harder.”
Makina and Urka clenched their fists tightly, confident in her victory. I thought she could handle it, too, but Berkreis took a deep breath, pointed his sword at Kudelica and began to speak.
“…… I’ve been thinking about this since the rope pulling, but you’re amazing. It’s hard for even my [Strong Body] to take it.”
“Ehehe.”
Kudelica laughed at the words of praise. However, Bekreis twisted his mouth into a grimace, and the next words that came out froze Kudelica’s face.
“…… I mean, you seem to like Lars-kun over there, but I don’t think a guy like Lars-kun …… would like a girl with that kind of strength.”
“Eh.”
“You see, a man wants to protect a girl, and I don’t think a girl who’s stronger than him is a good idea.”
“N-No, Lars-kun would never say that ……”
What’s that guy saying!? I call out to the impatient Kudelica.
“Kudelica, don’t mind what that guy is saying! A skill is a skill, and it’s better for an adventurer to have power! You can’t always be strong.”
“Yeah, t-that’s right!”
“Well, if you’re listening just now, what else can you say ……”
“U-Uhhhh ……”
Is he trying to win by upsetting her? As soon as I was about to say something to Kudelica, who had tears in her eyes, Berkreis moved.
“Now ……!”
“No! Kudelica, he’s coming!”
“It’s too late! I’m going to push you out of the line! I’m afraid your brute strength has taken its toll.”
He held up his sword and tried to tackle her. I’m sure he thought he could do it by using his strong body.
But–
“N-Nevertheless, I still like Lars-kun! Idiot!”
“Wha!?”
“Oh, Berkreis-kun’s attempt at provocation has backfired.”
“You can’t mix up a girl’s love interest. Remember that, boys. Berkreis-kun may need to be punished later.”
“That’s scary♪.”
Kudelica threw away her axe and held out her hands to the oncoming Berkreis. Of course, it includes [Superhuman Strength].
And at the moment when Berkreiswas about to be blown away, he took Kudelica’s hand.
“Geuk!? T-Then, plan two!”
“Eh!?”
Oh, Berkreis had grabbed Kudelica’s wrist the moment he was blown away. And of course, Kudelica flew away with him.
“Well, well, well, this was unexpected!”
Verna-sensei’s voice rose, and we couldn’t help but let out a small gasp. As it is, Kudelica and Berkreis is,
“O-Ohhhhh, they’re both off the field …… it’s a draw!”
“Kuh …… Ouch ……”
When Berkreis lifts his upper body with a satisfied smile, Kudelica stands in front of him and swings her fist.
“I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!”
“Uwah!? I-I’m sorry!? I-It was part of the plan …… Gyaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!?”
“You reap what you sow. Ah, It’s time to stop her, he won’t be able to play in the next game.”
“K, Kudelica! Stop it, I don’t care if you’re strong or not!”
“That’s Kuu’s distinctive characteristic, right? You should be proud of yourself.”
“Uhhh …… Sniff …… Uwaaaaaaaaaa ……! I’m sorry It’s a draw!”
I and Makina stopped her, and we managed to stop Kudelica. I put a small amount of healing on Berkreis, so that part should be restored.
I wanted to leave Kudelica alone since I made her cry, but that’s not going to happen.
“…… I guess it’s my turn then.”
“Please, Urka.”
“Yeah. I’m going to avenge Kudelica!”
“That’s the spirit! Come on, don’t cry all the time, and let’s cheer on him!”
“Y-Yeah …… Sniff ……”
Makina looks at Urka while comforting her. Maybe it was because they made his classmate cry, so Urla’s spirits were high. Urka’s combat level is neither good nor bad, but he does both well, so I don’t think he’ll have any problems as long as he stays calm.
“……”
“……”
“The next battle is between Urka-kun and Deuce-chan.”
“Urka-kun haven’t been in a combat competition, so for now, he’s an unknown quantity. Against Deuce-chan, magic is her forte. I can see a one-sided match from a distance, but I hope they do well.”
The opponent is that girl, huh …… She may be dazing, but she has magic that can’t be underestimated. But Urka also has some skills that he’s good at, so it shouldn’t be a bad match.
“…… I’m going to finish this quickly. And if we win the next one, we’re done fighting A-Class.”
“I’m not going to be beaten easily either. I’m going to use [Spiritual Art].”
“……? Spiritual Art?”
The moment Deuce tilted her head to the side, a vague figure appeared to the right of Urka. And then the ground to his left floated up, and a skeleton appeared.
“……!!???!?”
“Now, I have the advantage in numbers, I’m going to have to push through. Please, Ogure-san and Yamasu-san!”
The shadow nodded quietly, and the skeleton shuddered. Urka’s Spiritual Arts grew rapidly after he fought the emperor in Luitzar, and in the past month, he seems to have gotten the hang of it and is now able to make ghosts visible.
“Whoa …… That’s amazing, Urka …… Begin! …… Huh? Hey, get a grip.”
“Huh?”
“Deuce-chan has collapsed. She’s already down before it started.”
“No, that’s what would happen to a girl in front of that thing.”
Verna-sensei and Rosalia-sensei said this in a troubled tone. Deuce seemed to have trouble with ghosts and the like, so she fell on her back with her wand in her hand and her eyes rolled.
“I was shocked the first time I saw it, too. She can’t help it. Now that we’ve beaten Class C, Makina’s next turn will –“
“……”
“Uwah, Makina!”
“Get a grip, Makina-chan!?”
I looked to the side and saw Makina collapsing in a heap of bubbles.
Now that I think about it, didn’t mention she’s not very good with the undead!? I shook Makina, who was rolling her eyes, and together with Kudelica, we called out to her.
…… F-For now, C-Class, destroyed!
Farewell, Berkreis!
Thank you for reading!
[Afterword Theater]
“Farewell, Berkreis!”
You too!?
“Well, that can’t be good. The whole armor must be cracked now ……”
I wonder if he’s still alive in the first place ……?
“Yeah, take it easy.”
“Yes!”
Kudelica, who is smiling took her wooden axe and headed for the field with a cheerful wave of her hand. The opponents are already waiting for him.
“Nice to meet you!”
“Nice to meet you.”
