To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot - CH 57
Chapter 57 . Start of the martial arts tournament.
After completing the request at Almire’s mansion, I immediately began to make preparations for the martial arts tournament.
The martial arts tournament is a tournament-style competition in which the use of first-level magic is allowed.
Although swords are the most common weapon in this nation, I would be facing many weapons at the tournament, which attracts the best and the brightest from all over the world.
So, for the next two weeks, I spent my time fighting with the knights in the training grounds and learning how to use swords, pikes, battle cudgels, and even dark weapons.
Then, two days before the martial arts tournament, I received advance information that there would be a large number of participants in all divisions.
The number of participants in all divisions had been reported in advance, and we had to fight our way through from the qualifying round…
“Not a spare moment at all!”
“”- is easy.”
The twins who were training with me had a relaxed expression on their faces.
Well, that’s as it should be.
The Duke Waldheim here is a prestigious martial arts family and has the best environment if only within the kingdom of Arcadia.
The two of them have been training in such a environment since before they could even remember, so they must not have many opponents.
Is there really anyone among children up to the age of 10 who can beat these two, who train at the level of 10 hours a day?
And I, who train together with them, am probably one of the favorites to win.
Well, no matter how many potential winners there are, Lucy, who stands at the top of the list, is so strong that it doesn’t really matter.
“Norwin, we’re going to practice. The one who fights.”
I”m ready. The tough one? Or do you want me to pick a part?’
“Well, ——, let’s give it our all this time.”
‘I understand. Okay, let’s go all out this time. I’m going to spread the wins around.”
“How many wins and losses did I get now?”
“One hundred and fifty-three wins and eighty-two losses. I’m winning by a wide margin.”
“Shut up! I’ll get on with it!”
Saraswathi slapped me on the head and strode away with a confident look on his face as he held up his wooden sword.
I, on the other hand, kept my spear hanging from my head.
The fact that the two are not in the same place is not a surprise to me. In fact, it’s the opposite. If an unknowing person comes barreling toward you, you’ll be able to…
“Hey, aren’t you coming?”
I know you’re a coward, a fool, a weakling, and a chicken,” . It’s one of your tricks, isn’t it?”
“Hmph, ha ha, that’s a terrible thing to say. But you are right.”
The tip of the spear strikes the ground to create a reaction, and then the spear is rotated in the hand to make a big turn. The tip of the spear struck the ground to create a reaction, and then the spear was rotated in his hand to make a large swing.
The spear’s tip (the base of the spear) easily dug into the ground.
The opponent who was carelessly running into me would be finished off with a single blow.
Incidentally, Lucy was completely unaffected.
‘I knew it.”
“Shall we begin?”
“, yes!”
As soon as the match started, Saraswati leaped out of the air as if she were popping.
The first step shows a strange speed, and with two steps, the five-meter gap between the two is crushed.
Is this physical reinforcement?
The other day you were begging me to teach you, but you’ve already perfected it to a level where it’s practical!
Surprised, I immediately rethought my strategy. Once I knew I could use it, I could take any number of measures.
Aah!
Hmph!
I parried the sword with my spear, and from there, we went on the offensive and defense to see what would happen.
We are not geniuses and do not have any special powers, so our battles always turn out to be more simple than we are capable of doing.
This is exactly the case now.
While we are closing the gap between us, our swords are just for checks and balances. If I show even the slightest hint of aggression or feint, he will be alerted and drop back at once.
In the past, I could have forced Saraswati to run away and caught her, but it would have been troublesome when she used physical reinforcement.
Because of the peculiarity of this magic, which is triggered entirely inside the body, warriors who normally have no talent for magic may be good at it.
Saraswati was probably one of them.
“Every fight with you is long!”
“That’s what stamina is for.”
“Oh my !”
No matter how many times she attacks me, I always block her without hesitation and don’t attack too much. That’s why I have so many techniques for receiving.
“How about this?”
Just before the full force of the blow was dealt, I held Saraswati’s attack with my spear, and then I leapt up with my weapon.
Once touched with the spear in this way, it was easy enough to disable the defenseless weapon.
Saraswati, who had become unarmed, still tried to use her physical skills without giving up, but I, who was fully equipped with a spear, was unable to penetrate her.
After a few rounds of bargaining, I caught her leg with the spear, rolled her over, and decided the match by thrusting the tip of the spear into her neck.
“With this, I win one hundred and fifty-four victories.”
“~~!”
Sarasvati stood up in frustration, but she was shaking with a pull and shaking, not taking her emotions out on anything.
“Saraswati-?”
“What?”
“No, I was just wondering if you’re all right.’
“Leave me alone.’
Saraswati moved away from me and started swinging her blade silently in the distance. The actual a lot of people are not able to get the best out of the particulars.
But still, the battle just now was good.
I didn’t think I could fight so one-sidedly against Saraswati, even if she was using body reinforcement.
Maybe it is because I have recently learned more skills. The combination of skills has become more varied, and I have the feeling that what I can do has increased dramatically.
I’m sure I’ll be able to do it. With this, I don’t think I’ll lose so easily even if I’m up against a ten-year-old in a martial arts tournament.
There are only two days left until the tournament, so let’s give it our all.
⚪️.
At that time, in front of the main gate of Arlegalia, the royal capital of the Kingdom of Arcadia.
“Princess, we have arrived’.
“Hmmm. This is Arlegaria, isn’t it? What a shitty place.”
“Don’t you like it?”
No need for excessive decorations, is there? Only a bloody battle will satisfy me .”
The princess of a neighboring country, who looked up at Arregalia with a frown on her face, had arrived in this land to participate in a martial arts tournament.
Although she is only ten years old, she is a goddess of war who loves martial arts and is loved by martial arts, and has the ability to compete with adults. Dreaming of battles yet to be seen, she smiles with a ferocity not befitting a child.
⚪️.
‘Raymond, you know Dad can’t be with you at the martial arts tournament, right?
“I’m scared.’
“Yes, , be strong. Your spear is the strongest, right?
“But I’m scared.”
In the fountain square of Arlegalia, a little boy was crying, clinging to his parent
‘It’s all right,. You are the last disciple of His Excellency, General Galdias. And we have put everything we have into you. Go ahead and take on the challenge with confidence.’
“Ugh.”
The spear prodigy who trained Schneizel was the last to be discovered by the general. The boy who later becomes one of the heroes in Arcadia=Quest also participates in the martial arts tournament.
⚪️.
You understand, don’t you? Your task is to achieve a high results in the martial arts tournament and run amok in front of the royalty to create an opening.”
“Yes, My Lord.”
The kneeling boy answers the Lord in an inorganic voice. His face is covered with a white mask, and the Lord looking down at him wears a black mask.
— Amidst a whirlwind of various conspiracies, the martial arts tournament begins.
