Thirteenth Episode: Magic Stone
「Hey you」
The Rank 2 sempai suddenly talked to me when the break begin.
While feeling doubtful, I replied with a smile.
It will probably be like that. This sempai is the only Rank 2 in the second years. There is no further condition if I make a Party in this school.
From the beginning I aim at the top with us three people. I didn't think of receiving any protection from someone.[2]
The sempai left after looking towards Anne meanfully.
◇ ◇ ◇
「The King has arrived. Salute」
And, it simultaneously salutes on signal.
The female instructor who got restless until a while ago tightens her expression neatly.
「I've came at a good time. To the knights-to-be. I like to watch the state of the young people who have the aptitude exerting themselves. It's expected today that you'll be able to shine and have us show the glitter of your abilities. Convey your charm with all your effort」
The person seem to be good-natured, a voice with tolerance nevertheless mysterious.[3] It was said that compared to the several generation before, the King was the most charismatic of all. The portion of that could be seen.
We release our salutation.
The King left and went to a expensive looking seat reserve for the distinguished guests.
But that knowledge became Anne. Because when I played IRURANDE, I've never met her. But there was a time when I regarded her sword as a sword of affection[6]. ......If I wasn't able to meet her with good timing this time, there was a probably that she lived somewhere, had fallen, then died or was turned into a slave and would come to the point of her parting with the sword.
◇ ◇ ◇
I look at the Tournament list.
But that's just a deception. The more you win, the more times you'll be evaluated.
That's why, they generally use the results to decide who to seed, the high ranking students is planned to be evaluated till in last rounds. The spectator who came to watch gets excited.
Despite that.....
But it's unlikely. Surely this is a plan to lower the evaluation of Anne that was a criminal's daughter.
I recalled in my mind the words of the proctor who announced the lecture's test result.
Surely, it's like that.
My sight suddenly gazed the tall man, the Rank 2 sempai was pleasantly chatting with a proctor different from the young lady before, I smiled when he looked at me with a grin.[8]
「I'll do it」
After all I'm in the situation were I've swore that us tr will become the scholarship students. I can't have the 【Demon Sword Tail】's first mission a failure. In that case, no matter how difficult the way is, al three of us will be selected as the scholarship students.
I raised my voice. So the King can hear it too..
The female instructor's face slightly twitched. I'd have a bothersome hunch.[9]
An instructor was enraged b the too haughty remark.
「Are you saying you don't intend to fight?」
「It's not that, I'm just saying that It's not necessary for me to fight six times. I'll demonstrate my abilities with just one match. By defeating the only Rank 2 of the second years!」
For trying to crush us. It's unforgivable. I'll smash you and make you our steppingstone.
The King in the special seat stood up while intensely clapping.
【Nepu!! This translation can originaly be read at nepustation.com】
「Yeah, I would like to watch that. Good then. Let's do just that. Un, the genius of the active students, and the genius of the examinees battle it on. This is becoming exciting」
All the instructor was flustered. They like to turn it down but the king was enthusiastic about it. It's impossible to just ignore it.
「I would like to request it as well! I will not be satisfied if I don't break this impertinent boy's nose! For someone with a Rank 1 【status】 who haven't acquired any experience can't be left as it is」
The Rank 2 sempai who was in rage trusted a challenge to me as it was natural.
「Your Majesty, you can't. That child is just a Rank 1 moreover he haven't gain any 【status】 at all. Even if there is a divine protection, If the opponent is a Rank 2 then he'll instantly die! I do not want to witness a talented youth be crushed」
「Instructor it's all right, I'm full prepared. Permit it by all means. Everyone also wishes for it」
「Bu-but I still can't permit it. If you receives an attack from a Rank 2, The divine protection would catch up and you'll die」
「Is that so...... Well then, Sempai. The instructor is telling my 【status】 is not up to par, and saying that I shouldn't fight you. Then in hat case, may I consume one magic stone?」
「I don't care ze, because nothing will change even if you consume one. Until now, I consumed several hundred magic stone just to get to Rank 2」
「Well then I accept the offer」
I took out the high tiered huge Rank 1 magic stone.
Everyone in the surrounding suddenly turned pale.
At any rate, to consume this magic stone with such power, I have to consume magic stones for 15 times that is stronger than the last one consumed. Butt I've skipped all that.[10]
The instructor who turned pale was running in order to stop me.
On the forehead of the magic stone[11], I silently prayed while consuming it.
seal of nepu The wind blew with we as it's center.
A stir is heard from the surrounding
It's strange.
What exactly is that guy.
Originally it's the first territory that I've arrived and it took several months, from zero the rush of overlapping surprises the instant that I've arrived.[12] From the surrounding, voice starts leaking with topics about the miracle Rank up. The audience who was expecting my execution begun to look forward with a true significance.
「You! I don't have any idea what method you just used, but it still doesn't change the fact that you're just a Rank 1. I'll kill you with one swift attack!」
While we were being watched, the king opens his mouth.
The surrounding eyes were focused on the instructor.
「I permit it. I'll change the first match to Second Year Lyle Vs. Examinee Souji. As for Anne who was supposed to be Souji's opponent, will have a default win for two matches. The match will commence in ten minutes later」
A cry rose from from the audience seat and a match here was just established.
