Co, whoever wants to take my first sword!
Originally, people shivered at my words and lost the will to fight, but when I said it in my current state, all either pointed fingers and laughed or said that I looked cute.
Gosh, this is like playing with a kid. I will hurry up and get this over with.
The bald guy with sleeveless leather armor and beard ca over laughing onto the bridge. The baldy beard had a dual ax, suited for his scary appearance.
Why is this so shaky?
The baldy beard ca on the bridge with confidence, but could barely stand still on the wobbly bridge. I used this as a chance and took a big step forward and struck him on his shoulders.
Ahhhh!
Splash!
He fell to the side right away, and dropped into the water.
Crimson is out!
Boooooooooo!
Before the announcer even finished talking, there was booing and mocking laughter coming from the audience.
You are dead! As soon as I get up there, I will dig out your eyes!
The baldy cursed at while he was splashing to stay afloat, but he was dragged away by the colosseum team mbers.
And you are out. Next!
I took steps backwards.
FYI, I might actually kill the third one coming, so think carefully. Now is your last chance to act if you want to just get injured.
As I provoked, taking my ti, the young guy who was laughing at the bald beard ca up with a straight face.
You? Okay. Well thought.
I smiled, but he did not smile back.
I dont go easy on won.
He was holding an ordinary-looking long sword and shield and was wearing an iron plate attached to only the vital part.
Great. I never asked you to go easy on .
As soon as he heard speak, he made a frowning face and then rushed to attack .
A big shield. The shield that he had was quite big enough to cover all my attacks.
So, I pretended to attack with my rapier and then crossed his legs with mine, and he fell into the water after losing balance.
Huh
Splash!
Aww what is going on! Adol is also out!
The announcer spoke as if he was disappointed at the pace and the audience kept booing.
You sly bitch!
The man nad Adol spit so vulgar language as the baldy did and then was dragged out by the team mbers.
Let go of ! I will not go out like this! Do you know how much I paid to participate in.
Punch!
Adol got punched in the face for resisting the team mbers, and drooped.
You should have guarded your lower body, too.
And as I bid the last one farewell, I looked onto the next one.
Its you this ti?
The third one looked just like a snake, with long hair and a pointy face. If a snake were to turn into a human, they would look an just like him.
So, did you have fun until now? Miss?
He snickered.
Yeah, I guess I ward up a bit. The two happened so fast that I didnt really get to fully warm up.
As I stretched for him to look on purpose, he jerked his chin up and down.
Since I am here, its the last of you to act so arrogantly.
Yeah, and I apologize beforehand, since I have said that from the third one onwards, I can really kill. You might not be able to hear this after you die, so
He yukked at my words.
I will return exactly what you said!
He just started to throw knives he had in his chest instead of stepping forward.
Uh?
I looked towards my back as I clashed away the knives that were coming towards with the rapier. I could see the elf, still sitting as a damsel in distress.
Move away if you dont want to get hit by the reflected knives!
From my scream the elf rushed to a corner, and as soon as I turned back around,
Clank!
I am not exaggerating, I hit a dagger that was just about to hit my eyes. This will be a mont to show off to generations down.
But there was no ti for such stories. The guy that had been just throwing the knives from afar was now standing in front of , and kept trying to stab with daggers.
Haaat!
As I did when facing Jarrod, I stepped forward while spinning the rapier, and
Heh?
As if he didnt expect to move towards him instead of stepping back, lost his balance.
Stab!
I stabbed his heart right away and defeated him.
What a surprise. I honestly thought that the second one could be highly possible, but I didnt expect her to defeat Nate as well!
The announcer was surprised, and
Wasnt Nate one of the possible winners?
How did she win?
I still havent figured out what is going on.
The audience murmured, trying to figure out the situation.
See? I told you that we can win!
I smiled back at the elf. She was gazing at , not realizing that her jaws were wide open.
What the hell are y'all doing? Theres more of us than her! Just run!
The other team realized that the atmosphere had changed, and then started to rush forward.
Ah, this is incredible! The weakest-looking participant is defeating all the guys!
As the announcer described, I was on a roll stabbing, slashing and dropping the n one by one into the water. I took a breath after making a good pile out of them.
Aris! Aris! Aris!
The crowd that was booing just a mont ago was now cheering on my na, as if they were touched by my swordsmanship.
That made want so more.
Smooch!
When I got a little chance, I flung out my signature move, a hand kiss, and got the cheers of all the n and won alike.
Die!
And one of the remaining n thought that it was his chance and threw his spear, but
Tap! Shook!
Argh!
I dodged the spear, held onto its head, and then pulled it so that he fell forward.
Stab!
Then I finished him off by stabbing him with my sword.
Its been a while since I worked at the colosseum, but tonight will most certainly be rembered! A legend is born today!
The announcer was now partly sobbing, as if he was touched.
You. You were a hidden master.
There was only one participant left. He was a bony middle-aged man with an eye patch. He could be younger than he looks. He just looked a little rugged.
Now you get it?
But the man in the eye patch shook his head.
No, if I knew, I would have rushed like those idiots before . I have been waiting for this mont.
The one-eye pulled out his rapier.
Are you also a swordsman?
The man was not wearing any armor, just a shirt and pants, holding his rapier. Just like .
Yes, my na is Otto. I am a duelist. Well then, I wish you the best.
I was a little happy to et a fellow swordsman, even though I was pretty tired.
I didnt expect to et another swordsman, especially as my last opponent.
If I had been wearing a hat, I would have taken it off and set the proper fighting etiquette, but it was a pity that I couldnt.
I am Aris Wafer. I wish you the best.
Then as we exchanged the formal greetings of swordsmanship, Otto made a cold smile.
But do you think you will be able to fight well? Arent you tired?
As Otto had said, I was drenched in sweat from head to toe and maxed out. I was so sweaty that the robe clung onto my body like skin.
If you had known, you should have been the first to co.
I still didnt want to call him out as cowardly.
Yes. If you also use a rapier, you shouldnt be able to use the word cowardly.
Otto spun his rapier once around in air, and then slouched down.
Instead, I will let you have the first move. Co forward.
Ottos skills were different from mine. He slouched, flung his rapier forward in his right hand, and covered his right shoulders with his left arm. We called this the Italian Way back from where I was from.
All right.
I moved forward slowly, with my left arm stretched forward.
You dont even seem to have enough energy to hold your sword.
Otto comnted, from seeing how I could barely hold my shaking arms straight.
I still have enough energy to stab you.
So the ends of our rapiers finally t head to head.
Chnnng!
I was at an advantage by using my full upper body with a straight back, but Otto must have been pretty skilled to have blocked every single one of my attacks.
I should start finishing this up now.
At an instant, Otto used his left hand to push back my rapier, then ca in to stab in the neck with his rapier. This was a signature move in the Italian style, and it was the sa one that he was using.
Which ant that I could use it against him.
What in the?!
As I used his sa move to defend myself, Otto lost his posture. This ant that I could end the battle here. My victory was certain.
Thud!
But my body was acting up. I was tired, but I had never felt as heavy I felt as if there was a giant boulder on top of .
Clash!
As I staggered from the weight I felt, Otto was able to regain his position.
That was close. I would have lost if you werent so drained from energy.
No, this was more than just tiredness. This felt as if soone was pressing down.
phewphew..
I kneeled one of my knees, without being able to bear the weight. In that instant, I made eye contact with Arje. She was standing up and looking my way. What would she be thinking?
Surrender. I am a fighter, not a murderer thirsty for blood like the others.
Otto placed his sword on my neck.
Surrender
I had to force out a chuckle.
I dont do such things.
With my words Otto looked at with a pitiful expression.
You should accept your loss.
And so Otto pulled his rapier back in order to slash. This was my last chance.
I dropped backwards to the ground. The rapier of Otto hit my hood, not my neck, and
She was a dual specin!
The clear voices from the audience let know that my ears were revealed when I fell backwards.
A dual specin? What?
As Otto was flustered, I used the last bit of my strength to hold onto his legs and drop him into the water.
Splash!
It was nice that we both fell into the water, but I didnt have any strength to get back up to the island. I would drown just like this. Arje.help .
Phoooaa!
But surprisingly, the one who ca to help was Otto.
Are you all right?
Instead of replying, I just nodded weakly. I didnt have enough energy to ask why he saved .
My ears are clogged.
Due to my large ears, I could barely hear from all the water that got inside. This will be a pain to solve.
Um.well then both of them are out. That ans that the winner is the Elf from the wons side! So the winners are the female team!
The announcer said that our team, I an I won.
Haha. I won.
I used the last bit of strength to look towards the elf. She sure must be making a happy and touched face, realizing that its worth not giving up till the end and all.
But unlike my predictions, the elf had a cold expression.
