The match continued after that.
After the first match was over, the second match began, but the content of the match was not much different from the previous competitions.
Most of the knights showed great skills, and among them, only Barton and Aaron Hereis were notable.
However, if there is a slight difference,
“The winner of the second round is Letty, the knight of the Duke of Baltail!”
“Wow!”
The point was that Retira, an article that the people of the Empire saw for the first time, was added.
‘It’s easier than your opponent in the first game.’
Leverticia lightly relaxed her neck and returned to the waiting area.
Although Malek was ignorant, he was probably on the strong side, and the next opponent he met was nothing compared to him.
When I returned to the waiting room, Jessie had arrived and was waiting for her.
“Leverticia…! Here it is!”
Jesse called out to her in a small voice. Thanks to Jesse, Leverticia was able to rest until the semifinals a little more comfortably.
“suggest. thanks Come over here.”
“no. It’s Rebertisha-sama’s job, so I have to help.”
Jessie brought her water and snacks, and fastened her wig back. ‘Huh?’
Leverticia looked at Jesse without drinking the water. The horse said that he came to help, but somehow it seemed that her eyes were not the only ones that kept glancing at the arena.
“Aha. Who are you here to see?”
“yes? Hib, ah, no! I’m here to help the real Leverticia….” “Hmm.”
Leverticia opened her eyes slenderly and looked at her.
A shriveled face, glaring eyes. It looks like he is restless with his hands clasped there. This was often seen when a knight who was a favorite unrequited partner or lover participated in a match.
Leverticia turned and looked back at the pitch.
The second leg had just ended and the semifinals were about to begin. Semifinal: Barton v Aaron Hereis.
The atmosphere actually heated up to the level of the finals. ‘Aha. I’m here to see Earl Hereace.’
Certainly, when Count Hereace appeared, the roar of women that had not been heard before… cheers were heard.
“Aww! Count Hereace!”
“Win and marry me! Count!”
“I will prepare the coma! Come alone, baby!” Wow. That’s very rude.
Leverticia couldn’t help but be amazed at the enormous confessions that even a woman herself would fall in love with if she listened to it.
Aaron responded to the pouring cheers with a gentle smile and light silence, as if a little embarrassed.
At that sight, the crowd was turned over again. Leverticia stuck out her tongue.
He’s handsome, but he’s kind to everyone. Is there any other person who is that deeply sinful?
Barton and Aaron salute each other and then set themselves up. “Then start!”
The semifinal competition began in a tense atmosphere.
*
Barton had a goal.
The goal is not to give up the position of Leverticia to anyone who sees it for the first time.
The goal is to always carry on her will and not obscure her achievements. ‘To do that, you must win.’
Barton clenched his teeth. Aaron Hereace was different from the previous dwarfs.
Stronger, faster, sharper.
Barton swung his sword as if his own life was at stake. ‘Never lose.’
never. never.
That thought made him even more impatient. ‘never.’
Chaeeng! visor!
The two swords met each other so quickly that the eyes of the beholder couldn’t keep up.
‘surface.’
Kaang! Get a card.
Barton pushed Aaron’s sword one step ahead than usual, as if scraping it down. He bit it tight.
‘not-‘
With chin!
The next moment, I heard the sound of a sword hitting something and flying away.
Barton stared blankly at my hand. was empty handed
‘… my sword.’
Where did you go? I thought I pushed a lot up until recently, but why… Beepy profit—
A whistle rang in his dazed ear.
And the referee certainly gave a sentence against him.
“The semifinal winner is Aaron Hereis from Earl Hereace!” “Ahhhhhhhh!”
“Count Hereace! You are the best!” “It was a great match!”
People cheered.
Barton unconsciously raised his hand and wiped my face. It was all sweaty. When did this happen? It just feels like a few sums divided.
Judging by the people’s reactions and the setting of the sun, it seemed that time had passed more than he thought.
Aaron, who was competing with him, also approached him and asked to shake his hand.
“thank you for your effort. You’re amazing.” “….”
Barton stared at his outstretched hand. So, in a nutshell,
‘I lost.’
It was a match he could never lose, and he lost.
He even dropped the sword from his hand and was defeated. It was the most humiliating defeat of any defeat.
“ね.”
Barton turned around and left the match as if he was running away.
*
“Such.”
Leverticia, who was watching the match, clicked her tongue as if sadly. In fact, she knew from the outset that Barton’s odds were not high.
After watching the previous match, I realized that Aaron Hereace’s skills were far superior to her expectations.
‘Well, that’s why he must have been treated as a hero who appeared like a comet.’
I’m not sure because I haven’t done a direct comparison, but it seems that he has a talent similar to that of Nsody. That said, it meant that she was by no means a formidable opponent.
Besides, for some reason, Barton could not concentrate well and was impatient.
It was the decisive factor in the defeat.
As she watched Barton run out of the arena without being able to control her emotions until the end, Leverticia gave her sad eyes.
‘Anyway, the last thing you fire your sword is too much.’
It was clearly on purpose. If I didn’t do that, I would have been able to win enough.
Of course, Barton’s mistake was bigger and Aaron just took advantage of it, but seeing Barton shocked, he felt very uncomfortable with his old boss.
“ha. Just one more glass of water-Jessie?” “ah….”
Contrary to Leverticia’s guess that Aaron Hereis, who was cheering for him, would be happy because he won, Jessie’s deer-like eyes were trembling
softly.
Tears were about to fill up and fall. “what should we do….”
She wasn’t looking at Aaron Hereis. I was looking at the entrance where Barton had just escaped.
‘no way. It wasn’t Earl Hereace who was cheering for me….’ beep profit-
“The next second semifinal. Enter each article!”
At the words of the referee calling her, Leverticia could not finish her thoughts and got up from her seat.
*
Unlike the match between Barton and Aaron Hereis, Leverticia’s semifinal ended very quickly and easily.
Her opponent used a sword technique specialized in stabbing quickly, but it fell apart with a single powerful slash of Rebertisha.
Even before the heat of the previous match was extinguished, the final opponent was confirmed.
“Then this is the final final! Knights, come forward!” “Wow!”
Both sides entered with shouts of people. Leverticia and Aaron Hereis faced each other. Aaron bowed lightly.
“Nice to meet you.” “okay.”
“Are you going to wear a mask until the end….” “yes.”
Leverticia answered briefly.
Despite the extremely rude situation, Aaron only let out a small smirk and did not get angry.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Oh, no. From the very beginning, there were only two people, including you, who treated me like this. They are very similar.”
“What?”
Aaron’s eyes turned slightly toward Kaius. He chuckled and smiled, then cleared his mouth and stood up straight.
“Are you mad about my match I just had?” “….”
“I was a little nerdy. I admit it. But he was the most talented of all the people here, so he couldn’t help it. I also wanted to win.”
Leverticia looked at Aaron without saying a word. Aaron nodded quietly.
“You are an outstanding performer. I know I am stronger than anyone before. Even more than me.”
“right.”
Leverticia did not dare deny it.
As the referee’s flag was raised, the two raised their swords straight. “So I try to do my best in the game.”
“… That’s a good attitude.” Beep profit!
The whistle sounded, and Aaron immediately swung his sword diagonally.
It collided with Leverticia’s sword with a shoveling sound. The two shared the sum without lifting their swords.
Aaron immediately stepped forward with one foot and quickly turned the entangled sword to attack her with the back blade.
It was Aaron’s specialty to change the blades so quickly that they could not be seen at any time.
His tactic was to lightly press the flag in the first match with this. But,
visor-
“But what? I was trying to be gentle, but listening to you….”
At the same time, Leverticia pushed through with her entangled sword and broke his technique. Normally, in this case, even instinctively, they would retreat or defend themselves, but since it was the first time they pushed back, Aaron was very embarrassed.
“I really want to win.” Changkang—
Rebertisha, who pushed into the end of the sword, quickly switched blades. It was Aaron’s technique that he just showed off.
At the same time, the sword in Aaron’s hand fell to the floor with a creaking sound.
Leverticia whispered a little.
“Sorry for being rude. Will you understand?”
