Chapter 30

 

I cleared my throat intermittently to give Louis hints, but there was no way he could hear that sound while he was in the middle of a fierce duel.

 

Just then, the Duke properly readjusted his grip on his sword.

 

Then he swung his sword toward Louis.

 

In an instant, a red aura surged toward Louis.

 

I was startled and shifted my bottom in my seat.

 

Louis must have thought the Duke’s attack was strong too, as he grimly swallowed his saliva and swung his sword.

 

But then.

 

“…!”

 

An aura bloomed from Louis’s sword.

 

A pale purple aura at that.

 

Then Louis’s aura shattered the Duke’s aura.

 

The two colliding auras scattered like fragments.

 

A huge cloud of dust rose, momentarily obscuring Louis and the Duke from view.

 

Wait, Louis manifested an aura?

 

An aura that even skilled knights need to train for 10 years to barely manifest? Louis who just started holding a sword?

 

Even the spectators were flustered and staring at Louis, while Louis shouted with a face full of emotion.

 

“Finally! Finally an aura!”

 

It seemed like this was the first time he had manifested an aura in this swordsmanship tournament.

 

What on earth is the female protagonist going to use an aura for…!

 

From a distance, the flustered Duke spoke up.

 

“An aura, how impressive.”

 

Louis shrugged his shoulders and readjusted his grip on his sword.

 

Once he had manifested an aura, Louis’s sword moved with unstoppable force.

 

This time, Louis’s aura surged toward the Duke.

 

Just as the Duke was about to shatter the aura.

 

Louis, who had rushed forward kicking off the ground, scraped the ground with his sword tip.

 

Swoosh-!

 

The moment Louis scattered the dirt gathered on his sword tip and the Duke frowned, he swung his sword.

 

“Ugh…!”

 

Clang-!

 

The Duke’s sword flew far away and stuck in the ground.

 

Louis was smiling with his sword tip pointed at the Duke’s neck. It was Louis’s victory.

 

“Isn’t this too underhanded? We should fight fair and square.”

 

“Where is there fair and square in the world of combat? My life could be lost at any moment.”

 

The Duke seemed to ponder for a moment, then nodded.

 

“That seems to be a valid point as well. I learn something from you, young lady.”

 

Suddenly, the favorability rating floating above the Duke’s head sparkled.

 

No!

 

But despite my scream, the Duke’s favorability dropped by a full 15%.

 

Thus, the Duke recorded a [Favorability 50%] as he shook hands with Louis and exited.

 

This is driving me crazy.

 

I looked at Louis while restraining myself from wanting to tear my hair out.

 

The next contestant to appear was Kaisis, who had surprised everyone with his unexpected skills.

 

“He’s finally here!”

 

“Wow!”

 

The nobles went wild at Kaisis’s appearance.

 

Well, he had finished off all his opponents in just one exchange so far.

 

I looked down at Kaisis while listening to the deafening cheers.

 

Clang-!

 

As expected, Kaisis achieved victory in just one exchange this time too.

 

Since he had made it to the semifinals, it must have been a difficult opponent, but his skills were impressive.

 

Now the summit was not far away.

 

Although Louis was causing chaos, at least Kaisis seemed to be playing his role well, which was fortunate.

 

I looked down at the arena with anxious eyes.

 

Wait, if it goes like this, the people who will face each other in the finals are…

 

Finally, the arena gates opened, and Kaisis and Louis entered majestically.

 

What was bound to come had finally arrived.

 

Kaisis and Louis, standing face to face, drew their swords.

 

Soon the trumpet sounded and the two men’s swords clashed sharply.

 

This time, even Kaisis couldn’t achieve victory in just one exchange.

 

Because his opponent was Louis.

 

I was newly impressed that Louis’s swordsmanship skills were indeed remarkable, then quickly changed my thinking.

 

I should be thinking about stopping Louis, what am I thinking right now.

 

I bit my lips as I watched the match between the two.

 

The two swords clashed sharply several times before separating.

 

The longer the exchange went on, the more tension filled the arena.

 

Not only the nobles but even I watched their match with sweaty palms.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

A pale purple energy gathered around Louis’s sword.

 

“Hyah-!”

 

Louis released his aura with a bizarre battle cry, and Kaisis deflected it with his bare sword.

 

It was tremendous skill.

 

I looked at Kaisis anxiously.

 

[30% until World Destruction]

 

Naturally, the world destruction gauge kept rising.

 

It might be better if either Kaisis or Louis crushed the other and quickly ended the swordsmanship tournament.

 

“Is it because you’re Rene’s prospective guard knight? Not bad.”

 

“You’re quite formidable yourself, young lady.”

 

Just as the two were conversing with swords between them.

 

Louis’s sword deflected Kaisis’s sword and cut the handkerchief tied around Kaisis’s wrist.

 

Even though Louis’s sword was still surging forward, Kaisis quickly reached out to pick up the handkerchief.

 

No, what’s so important about a handkerchief that you’re picking it up now! You should be watching the sword!

 

As expected, Louis’s sword came down aiming for Kaisis.

 

At that moment, Kaisis, who had keenly perceived the incoming attack, raised his sword diagonally and blocked Louis’s sword.

 

Then he quickly picked up the handkerchief and deflected Louis’s sword.

 

After that, Kaisis kicked off the ground, leaped up, and threw his sword.

 

The moment Louis pushed that sword away, Kaisis’s foot scraped the ground.

 

Swoosh-!

 

At the same time, Kaisis scattered the dirt gathered on his foot at Louis’s face and quickly caught his deflected sword.

 

“You little…!”

 

He had used the exact same method Louis had used.

 

It was the moment Louis frowned because of the dirt that got in his eyes.

 

Kaisis’s sword flew toward Louis’s sword.

 

And finally…

 

Clang-!

 

Louis’s sword rolled far away.

 

It was Kaisis’s victory.

 

Silence fell over the arena for a moment.

 

But that was only brief, and before long, loud cheers filled the arena.

 

“The final victor is Kai of the Sauver County!”

 

As the judge raised Kaisis’s hand and shouted, the nobles cheered loudly.

 

Kaisis had claimed first place just as he had promised me.

 

I could see Louis picking up his fallen sword and approaching Kaisis.

 

“I can’t even say what kind of technique I used.”

 

Louis scratched the back of his head, then extended his hand toward Kaisis.

 

“It was a good match.”

 

“Likewise for me.”

 

As the two men shook hands, cheers erupted from the audience seats.

 

I glanced at where the Imperial Family was seated.

 

The Crown Prince’s face looking down at the arena was clouded with bewilderment.

 

It was only natural. Beatrice wasn’t originally such a strong character.

 

Even so, seeing that his favorability was still at 100%, I thought it was quite remarkable.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

Rumble-.

 

The sky thundered and I could see the gauge until world destruction rising.

 

[33% until World Destruction]

 

I resisted the urge to tear at my hair and continued looking down at the arena.

 

As the winner was announced, the Emperor rose from his seat.

 

“Kai of the Sauver County, come up here.”

 

Kaisis confidently climbed onto the platform and stood before the Emperor.

 

When the Emperor gestured to an attendant, a gleaming golden rose soon appeared.

 

The Emperor recited various words congratulating the victory, then bestowed the golden rose upon Kaisis.

 

Kaisis took the golden rose and quietly gazed at it.

 

“Once again, congratulations on your victory.”

 

With those final words, the Emperor left the arena, followed by the Imperial Family.

 

However, the spectators couldn’t leave the arena as they were busy cheering for Kaisis, the new hero.

 

Guided down by the attendants, Kaisis approached me without a moment’s hesitation.

 

I smiled brightly and welcomed Kaisis.

 

“You worked hard. Let’s go home now.”

 

“Here.”

 

Kaisis indifferently handed me the golden rose.

 

“Didn’t I say I would dedicate first place to you? This seems to be the proof of first place.”
