Hino was forced to concentrate on defense against Alvin's furious attack.
His thrusts that ca from his quick footwork required all of Hino's senses to see them.
If this is a monotonous attack from the front, there is no need to worry about it, but Alvin does not only attack from the front, he also uses his quick footwork to move diagonally forward, to the side, and then diagonally backward.
Although she can gather her magic power, she doesn't have the strength to unleash it.
"But how long can you keep it up……?"
Hino did not think that Alvin could move fast forever.
She guessed that with the consumption of magic power and the reckless movent of rapid acceleration, rapid stop and rapid acceleration again, his body was getting worn out.
And she was right.
Alvin was beginning to feel his limits.
(I'm at limit……!)
He was able to push Hino to the brink of defeat, but that was as far as he got. Alvin knew that if he didn't have an effective strike, he would be the one who would run out of steam first.
That's why Alvin was waiting for his last chance.
(I can see his attack……)
As a matter of course, if the sa attack is repeated, the opponent will get used to it. And Hino begun to get used to Alvin's thrusts. No matter how much he changed his pattern, the speed of the sword thrust from his step was the sa.
So, if she stayed on the defensive, she would be able to prevent Alvin from using up all his strength. However, Hino did not want that.
Because Hino believes that if she does not beat her opponent head on, she is not worthy to be called the winner.
That's why Hino aid to counter Alvin for a complete victory.
(I've seen it all……!)
Hino sensed that Alvin was coming at her from the side. So, she turned her head in Alvin's direction to prevent him from attacking directly.
She holds up her sword to prevent the thrust, and at the sa ti, she tries to cast a spell using the magic she has been gathering to inflict him with .
However, Hino's magic was never released to Alvin – because before that, Alvin's "Thrust" had pierced Hino's chest, and the tip of the sword had sunk in.
"……"
Alvin sensed that Hino was about to use the magic that she had gathered, and saw that she was aiming to use magic to counter him.
And the reason why Alvin was repeating the sa attack earlier was to invite Hino to counter, which she would do after she got used to the thrust.
So, when he knew that Hino was aiming for a counter, the only thing he could do was to use his last trump card, and unleash the fastest thrust he could.
As a result, the thrust from the fastest step in the tournant was thrust into the chest of Hino without giving her ti to prevent it with her sword.
"……Brilliant"
It was clear that the thrust had penetrated her magical defenses and had caused damage.
And Hino weakens and lowers the sword that she was holding.
After seeing that, the ring girl voice echoed in the quiet venue…….
[That's it! Alvin has won!!]
At that mont, cheers and applause exploded from the audience. A generous amount of applause poured onto the stage along with the cheers.
"……I won, I have won!"
Alvin was so happy that he forgot about his injury and fall to the ground when he tried to raise his arm.
"Don't forget your injury. Co on, let see your arm"
"Y, yeah……."
Alvin did as he was told and Hino slowly wrapped her hands around Alvin's arm. And a magic check of the arm showed that it was fractured.
It's no surprise that this is the result of an all-out blow by him……
"It's broken cleanly"
"Well, that's the only thing I can think of……."
Hino stares at Alvin's face as he sweats.
Alvin was a fierce competitor who had defeated her, albeit with a restricted rule, and his good looks were perfectly in line with Hino's tastes.
Despite this, a burning feeling of love did not well up in Hino's heart.
If anything, she was glad to have found soone who could be a good rival, and she would like to fight again.
With a strong smile on her face, she slowly removed her hand from Alvin's arm and moved away.
"I will not lose next ti. I'd like to do it again if I have the chance"
"Yeah. Next ti I won't lose too. ……See you next year"
"Yes…… I hope we can do it again next year"
[We are now ready for the awards, Alvin and Hino, please return to the waiting room for treatnt]
The ring girl led them away from the cheers and applause as they tried to talk.
* * *
"I'll go to the waiting room"
Milis rushed out of the audience room to treat Alvin. Then, Ichiro and the others all went to Hino's side.
Shinji watched Renka, Emily, Akane and the others talking, and pondered.
(It didn't look like she was in love……)
If anything, it was the discovery of a rival! Because Shinji rembers Hino's smile, a belligerent smile that fits the word "Rivalry".
(Strength was not a problem, though. But then again, she can't fall in love just because she wants to)
Hino likes strong n, and even though there is a man stronger than her in front of her, she can't fall in love with him.
Is it because she has a strong fighting spirit rather than a girl's heart? It's not hard to see why, but Shinji continues to ponder if there are other possibilities.
(……Maybe she's in love with Mitono without realizing it. There is no way to conclude that marriage is a good idea if they don't love each other in the first place)
If she has spent too much ti with him as his spouse, her affection and love are mixed up.
(……If I'm right, I need to make her aware of that)
The smile on Shinji's face deepened as he thought about this.

The tournant is over!
It seems that Hino-chan wanted to fall in love, but she couldn't find anyone to fall in love with.
Well, love isn't sothing you can just fall in love with, is it?
Alvin seems to be a good opponent.
After the tournant, we continue to the mock battle with Hino.
