40 – The royal family begins to move.

The sound of a club hitting a leather bag echoed across the outdoor stage nonstop.

In the beginning, Alan tried to resist in order to somehow block or avoid it, but Iris’s sword mercilessly struck his body, breaking through the defense and catching the evasion.

Alan’s constant sword attacks made it impossible even to declare surrender.

With that momentum, neither the referee nor the spectators said anything, holding their breath and watching the horrific scene.

Everyone in this room was overwhelmed by Iris Likenair.

As Iris-senpai was about to deliver the final blow, when he suddenly stopped on the spot and was in pain, moans of sorrow echoed in several places, mixed with the cheers echoing from the crowd.

A mysterious phenomenon that I don’t know will happen again, and that saengnim who isn’t very skilled will win again.

The quietness of some characters full of such worries.

But Iris-senpai, as if to dispel that worry, swung his sword to such an extent that the sword pressure was strong enough to silence the people around him and straighten his body.

It seemed that the silence immediately turned into exclamation, and tremendous momentum emanated from Iris-senpai.

Ah, that’s anger.

Having seen similar momentum several times, I understood that.

I don’t know what happened, but Iris-senpai was angry.

And when Iris-senpai thought to block Alan’s attack, the senior’s momentum changed.

The moment the senior, who had been focusing on evasion and counterattacks, went on the offensive, a raging combo hit Alan’s body.

The senior’s swordsman’s speed lightly exceeds Alan’s splendid combo, which made the audience cheer until just now.

However, far from cheering the crowd, he was full of momentum to quietly overwhelm the crowd.

To be honest, I was scared.

I, who was sitting in a high-ranking seat, was overwhelmed by the force of the senior’s sword that beat Alan to dust.

When I glanced to the side, Riel and Emilia were also watching the scene with bated breath.

I wonder if he noticed my gaze, Riel was looking at me.

It was filled with worry as if watching a family member go to the battlefield.

I didn’t realize the meaning of Riel’s eyes for a while.

Ah…

And soon I realized.

I have to fight with my senpai tomorrow.

I have to deal with the tragedy that is happening on stage right now.

f*cked.

That is the conclusion I came to after careful consideration.

I’m f*cked.

That was when I was worried about my future.

Clink

The sound of something falling.

It was the sound of Alan dropping his sword.

And Alan fell on his knees.

“Huh, the tenacity of not letting go of the sword until fainting is commendable.”

Looking tired, the senior spilled a word like that.

Still, the stadium was as quiet as holding its breath.

The first person to come to his senses in that situation was none other than the referee.

“Master… The winner is Iris Likenaire!!”

The stadium was filled with silence despite the referee’s declaration.

But the silence didn’t last long.

[Waaa!!]

[Iris! Iris! Iris!]

[As expected, the academy’s strongest!]

The stadium was filled with shouts.

Me, Riel, and Emilia also clapped and congratulated us.

…I forgot for a moment that I realized that the opponent I had to fight tomorrow was anew stronger, and congratulated me.

At that time, a buzz was heard from all over the stadium.

“Hey, that…”

“Isn’t that what you did?”

“Huh… Pitiful…”

As I looked around to see what that meant, Riel poked me in the shoulder next to her.

“Look over there…”

Riel looked at the place she pointed with her tired expression on her face.

Alan collapsed in the arena.

What happened to Alan?

Have you ever been seriously injured?

Honestly, I don’t care what happens to Alan, but in case something happens to Alan and Iris-senpai has a criminal record…

But seeing that I can even hear the sneering in between the buzzing around me, I don’t think it’s a situation I’m worried about…

After sticking his head out and taking a closer look at Alan, I realized.

“Ow…”

That’s right.

Hey Alan, he did it.

Because there was a damp puddle formed near the crotch of the fainted fellow.

…Um.

Apart from my likes and dislikes, I sympathized with him.

After the game, there was going to be a stage performance.

Me and Riel, as well as Emilia and Iris-senpai, didn’t have much interest in the stage, so we left the arena.

After leaving the arena, senior Iris returned her sword.

“Hmm…If there’s something wrong with the sword, can you tell me? I’ll get you a new sword…”

“Ah…No. What could possibly be…?”

Wouldn’t there be a problem with the sword just because I hit Alan? He’s not a pathogen.

… No, for some reason I think that he could be like that …

“Then Kyou and Iris-senpai will have the finals tomorrow, right?”

When Emilia said that, Iris-senpai looked at me and smiled.

“Well, that’s how it will be. I expect it from you.”

“Ha…hahahaha… Please be gentle.”

No, it’s surprisingly sincere.

To be honest, it’s kind of scary.

“I’ll have to prepare a new sword in advance. The royal family will be attending tomorrow, too.”

After saying that and saying goodbye to us, senior Iris ran into the crowd.

“So…Come to think of it, the royal family is coming tomorrow too…”

When Emilia said that, Riel nodded in agreement.

Tomorrow is the last day of Musinje Festival.

Musinje is made up of four types of competitions: martial arts in general, martial arts in magic and academy, and four types of magic.

While each of these four tournaments is held at a different location, the final four matches on the final day will be held at the same location.

That is the Royal Central Stadium.

When various big events or sports events are held, it is always used as the stage for the finals as it can attract the largest number of spectators.

There, the four winners are determined, and the royal family also attends the match and presents the trophy directly to the winner.

In some cases, the king directly observes, but usually there were many cases in which a prince or princess attended.

“I heard that Princess Luna attended last year.”

At Riel’s words, Emilia said yes and nodded.

Luna Ena Princess of Palaginia.

This is the first princess of Princess Palaginia.

Originally, she was supposed to be the first person in the line of succession to the throne, but as she was born with her twin princess, Princess Aine, a battle for succession over the two princesses broke out around her.

However, the two princesses were very close, so they gave up their right to succeed to the throne, feeling sorry for the people around them getting involved because of them.

In that way, in the line of succession, her biological sister, Princess Yuril, who was the queen’s offspring, took the lead, and her two older sisters announced that they would actively support Princess Yuril, and the battle over the succession over the two ended.

Like Her Highness Aine, who has a reputation for having the best military power in the kingdom, her twin sister, Highness Luna, has a reputation for having the best resourcefulness in the kingdom.

She appeared as a villain in the original work, just like Her Highness Princess Aine, and she used that hair to corner Alan and the others several times.

She

I’ve never met her in person, but I’ve seen her a few times, even from afar. She

She also heard about the latest news.

Just recently in the North.

“His Highness Luna is fighting on the Western Front right now, so maybe someone else will come this time?”

At my words, Riel made a face that said “Ah, that’s right.”

Well, Riel heard about it from His Highness Aine as well in the north.

Perhaps the ending of this Musinje Festival was different, but if it flows in the same way as the original, then the royal family who will attend this Musinje Festival will probably be that person.

The boy with Alan yesterday.

Julius Ibn Palaginia.

“Yuri-kun. What’s wrong?”

Glass. No, Julius, the first prince of the Kingdom of Palaginia, turned his head at the voice calling him.

A lively woman with her pink hair tied back. She

She Maybe she said her name was Lefia, she was one of her companions who secretly left the palace and helped herself who was lost in her crowd and was lost.

“No, it’s nothing. Rather, would you mind not going with her companions?”

One of her companions. A man named Alan suffered a bitter defeat at a martial arts festival and was injured and taken to a treatment center.

… I didn’t want to have a bad first impression of her, but honestly, her swordsmanship was sloppy, which was below my expectations.

Anyway, the rest of the party followed him to the treatment center, but this girl named Repia did not follow him and remained by Julius’ side.

“Ah…Yes. I’m going to do some special training alone after taking Yuri.”

“Special training?”

Julius came up with something.

Come to think of it, this woman. Lefia also attended the godless festival.

Although she was defeated in the round of 32 yesterday.

Did she feel something because of her defeat?

Lefia Albain’s father is a military officer who is active in the kingdom’s army.

Although she is not a noble, she lived an affluent life and learned swordsmanship from her father. Lefia really liked her father.

She studied her sword diligently, and decided to enter the academy and follow her father to join her army. Lefia met the man of her destiny there.

Alan Ludwig.

A handsome boy who has a father with a knighthood and always has a burning heart for justice.

His outgoing personality was also his weakness, but from some point on, Lefia fell for him.

It’s hard to talk about Lefia’s daily life without mentioning him. From a certain point on, Lefia often skipped even forging her sword.

Like that, Lefia, who was living her academy life, welcomed her god of war.

She was Lepia who often skipped sword training, but the girl who held her sword went to the martial arts festival.

Alan also went to the no god festival. In order to take revenge on her aristocratic boy named Kyouwentos, who inflicted defeat on her.

Well, it wasn’t Alan who was the first to bump into that Kyou-Wentos, but he himself.

If possible, let’s face it without Alan having to fight. With that thought in mind, Lefia bravely stepped forward.

But she was defeated.

It was a complete defeat that she couldn’t even refute.

‘Why don’t you train instead of chasing after Alan Ludwig?’

That word stuck in Lefia’s mind.

After the defeat, Lefia couldn’t even focus on Alan’s semi-final match and fell into trouble.

“As expected… It would be better to train from the beginning again.”

Lefia was determined to do just that.

“Ah, it’s okay so far. Looks like I’ve come to pick you up. Thank you, Ms. Lefia.”

“Ah…Really? Then Yuri-kun…Huh?”

Repia, who suddenly came to her senses at the boy’s voice, looked around and was taken aback.

She walks frantically with Yuri and ends up in front of the palace.

And the ones who came out to meet them were the royal guards staying in the palace.

“… Huh?”

Lefia was at a loss for words when she saw the back of Julius as he left the place surrounded by the Knights Templar.

Julius is one of the royal knights who came out to greet him. He glanced at Jess.

Jess nodded and stood next to Julius as they walked along.

“Jess, I didn’t expect you to meet me in person.”

“You know, but you do.”

“hahahaha… Thank you for secretly following me and protecting me.”

“…Yes. More than that, there is someone who has come to visit Your Highness.”

According to what Jess said, the person who came looking for Julius was a person with a higher rank than Julius.

Father or mother, or else…

Julius entered his room where visitors were waiting.

“It’s been a while. Julius.”

“Sister.”

Julius opened his eyes wide.

His half-sister, who doesn’t usually meet in the palace, and is always busy.

She was Princess Yuril, the first in the line of succession to the throne.

She always had her knight, Meryl Migliano, to escort her by her side.

Julius sat across from Yuril.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. But… What happened…?”

“Julius. I have something I want to discuss with you.”

Her half-sister’s sincere face and her voice, which always had a benevolent expression on her face, made Julius feel unusual about her and looked straight at her.

“…This is a story related to the World Tree Church.”
