I Was Reborn, but I Was Told That the Popular Standard Skills Were No Good, so I Chose the Skill of Collecting [Title] - CH 74

“Zero ni-sama … You should get up soon …”

“A little more …”

“It can’t be helped … just a little more.”

“Mmm…”

Yesterday I went home with Sophie as it was … Then I relaxed with Sophie in preparation for the finals … Then I tried to sleep … but I was so excited and nervous about the finals that I slept late.

“It’s been five minutes already?”

“Then … 5 minutes more …”

“Okay”

I can hear Sophie’s voice trying to wake me right by my ear, the futon is also warmer than usual …

“Hmm …!”

“Hmm…?”

When I changed my posture a little, I hit something. There shouldn’t be anything on my bed.

“Huh!?”

“Good morning”

“Good morning … no! Not! Why is Sophie in my bed !?”

The reason Sophie’s voice was heard right by my ears and the bed was warmer than usual was because Sophie was in the bed.

“When did you get in !?”

“Well, I wonder.”

Sophie grins like a little devil, I wonder if she’s happy with the success of her little prank.

“Have the matches already begun?”

“No … they haven’t started yet.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, that’s right”

I’m really tired this morning. If this is a strategy, it’s working great.

“Breakfast is ready, so please come quickly.”

“Okay”

And this time, with her usual cute smile, she said so and headed for the living room.

***

“Zero ni-sama! We’re getting late!”

“I’m ready!”

After having breakfast and getting ready, the two of us went to the arena. Looking at us now, no one would think that we would have a match in the future.

“Good luck, both of you.”

“Thank you”

“thank you”

Upon arriving at the arena, Shana was waiting for us and gave us words of support.

“But I want Sophia to win.”

“why?”

“Then I won’t be weaker than Zeros.”

In short, if I beat Sophie, the order of strength would be me, Sophie then Shana, but if I lose to Sophie, the order of strength is Sophie first and we don’t know if Shana is second. That’s why she wants me to lose. Normally, you wouldn’t say something like that even if you thought it, but it’s one of Shana’s good points that she dares to say it clearly without hesitation.

“See you later”

“See you”

Then Shana waved to us two and headed for the audience.

“Well then”

“Let’s go.”

And we headed to the waiting room of the arena.

“The match is over! Winner! Watts Colekin !!”

“” Waah ~~~ !!! “”

And as I watched the 3rd place match with Sophie, the guy who fought with me seems to have won. The match wasn’t over in a short time, and both martial arts and magic were used to some extent. But in the end, it came down to close combat, and the one who was better at close combat ended up winning.

“Finally! We will start this year’s battle in the park final!”

When we heard the announcement, Sophie and I headed from the waiting room to the center of the arena.

“Zero ni-sama”

“Hmm?”

“I’ll do everything I can now without any secrets. It’s okay to hold back, but don’t lose without doing anything alright?”

“Yeah”

To be honest, I was still wondering whether to use lightning magic. However, thanks to Sophie, such troubles have been resolved. If she knew I was in trouble and said so, I really can’t beat Sophie. But if I don’t use thunder magic, I can make an excuse for losing saying it’s cause I didn’t use it, but if I use it and lose, I can’t make any excuses. Maybe Sophie wants to win by putting me in a position where I can’t make excuses? If that’s the case, there’s no way I’m going to make up an excuse for losing when my sister’s gone this far Then, depending on the situation, I’ll use spirit magic … Alright! Let’s get prepared.

“The final match! Zeros Adolfo vs. Sophia Adolfo, Begin!”

And the final match, me and Sophie’s brother-sister confrontation began.
