Kiraware Yūsha ni Tensei Shitanode Aisare Yūsha o Mezashimasu! - CH 136

[One Incident After Another]

That mana just now…. What was it…?

As I was feeling uneasy, the venue burst into great cheers.

“You little!”

The giant Forganes made a lunge at Milsey. However, Milsey brilliantly dodged him with her excellent footwork.

The venue filled with cheers each time Forganes’s large fiery fists cut through the air. And when Milsey decided to counter, the cheers rose to an even greater height.

“The match has been one-sided so far.”

“Yeah. But Forganes’s fists may settle the match with just one hit in. Milsey is doing her very best to fight back, but it seems that she’s having a hard time getting an attack pierce through Forganes’s muscle armor while dodging his fierce attacks at the same time.”

Raul and Jarvis were still watching the match while making commentary as usual.

Besides them, Tayte and Eureka were holding each other’s hands while watching the match.

I, on the other hand, left the place to contact Principal Abigail just in case.

“I just have to put mana into this card, right?”

While recalling how to use it, I tried to put mana into the card, but…

“H-huh?”

The card wouldn’t activate.

What was going on?

Don’t tell me, was it defective?

…No, I had tried it with the principal, so it should work fine.

――Which meant,

“…interference magic?!”

Was someone using interference magic to cut off communication between us?

“Damn it!”

I put away the card and got back to the venue.

Once I did, I found, contrary to before, Milsey was the one down this time. “The table was turned, huh?”

“Yeah. Forganes’s flaming fist managed to hit Milsey in the end.” Jarvis answered.

Forganes was roaring and showing off to the audience as though he’d already won, but…

“Milsey still has some life left.”

The rules of the martial arts tournament said that the match would continue until either of the participants’ life (HP) ran out.

With 15 points remaining, Milsey should still be able to fight, but… she seemed to have lost consciousness after receiving the blow from Forganes. She should have no physical injury, but… that might exactly be why the blow shocked her so much that she instantly fainted.

Before long, the referee rushed over to check on Milsey’s condition.

The result, he judged that she couldn’t continue fighting and declared Forganes the winner.

“It was unfortunate for Milsey.”

“She was doing well until halfway through the fight, but…”

Tayte and Eureka, who had been cheering for Milsey, seemed a little disappointed.

However, soon after the match was over, the next contestants took the stage.

“Let’s move on to the second match! 2nd-year water element class Leontien VS 2nd-year earth element class Raquel!”

They were the cheerful Leontien who looked good in dreadlocks and the quiet and cool Raquel.

After this, it would finally be time for Raul and Madeline’s—I mean, Raul and Joel’s match.

“…Huh? Where’ Raul?”

Raul, who had been beside Jarvis until just now, was gone.

“You’re looking for Raul? He just left. Said he had to go to the bathroom.” Jarvis answered after giving me a puzzled look.

To think he’d be that nervous… maybe I should check up on him. He’d be up next, so he had to get ready quickly.

Goodness… I left the venue in search of Raul when…

“?! Raul?!”

I found Raul collapsed in the corridor.

What… what was going on?
