Chapter 44 - Seiji vs. Jidoka
The competition proceed with Blocks B, C and D, because all the participants I’m paying attention to are seeds, I wasn’t able to watch any match of those fellows.
Since the second round will begin soon,
I used 【Appraisal】again on my next opponent,『Jidoka』.

HP, Power and Endurance are considerably high, I wonder if these are traits of『Giant』race?
Well, if I don’t take him head on, it wouldn’t be a big deal but I need to be careful not to get hit by a lucky punch.
「Next, we’ll have the competition’s Block A’s second round.
n’s division, participants no. 1 and no. 2, please co up to the arena.」
「Finally, it’s my turn, I’m off!」
「You’ll be fine but good luck niichan!」
「Ou!」
When I got up to the arena,『Jidoka』is already waiting there.
「Hey, hasn’t my opponent co up yet?
Oh? You’re already here, I didn’t notice because you’re small.
Guahahah!~」
What’s with this farce?
That’s, everyone will look small when compared to you.
「Well then, n’s division’s Block A, third match, the『Jidoka』vs『Seiji』’s match will comnce.」
「Participant no. 1, giants’ seed participant,『Jidoka』!
His weapon is a huge『Hamr』.
Participant no. 2, the one who advanced from the first round,『Seiji』!」
As the competition advances considerably, the participant’s introduction beca rough.
「Well then, begin!」
As soon as it begins,『Jidoka』swung down his huge hamr towards .
Zudoun!
The huge hamr slamd towards the stone floor producing a loud sound resounding throughout the whole arena.
「Kiyaa!~」
The won in the spectators’ seat scread.
Well, it didn’t hit .
When I appeared from the shadow of the huge hamr,
「「Ou!~」」relieved voices can be heard from the spectators’ seat.
However, the shock wave produced on the floor still hit , I wonder if I can acquire a magic that can absorb shock waves.
When『Jidoka』saw that his attack missed, he perford a wide back swing and incorrigibly attacked.
Gon!
I mimic Aya’s【Rapid slash】and unleashed a【Nuki dō1】, but『Jidoka』’s body is hard, the katana’s dulled blade wasn’t able to inflict any damage.
「Did you do sothing just now?
Sohow, it’s ticklish? Guwahhahaha!」
This is like the ti when I fought the orc.
I could use【Lightning magic】一and probably one-shot him but, I want to do sothing with only the【Katana】here.
For『Jidoka』to not recieve any damage from my attack is actually a good thing, I can attack without minding about defense too much.
Although I say that, from 3 directions, a【Pound】from above and【Side sweeps】from left and right. But it’s easy to avoid because there’s only 2 kinds of attack.
I repeatedly strike using【Kote】to avoid the attacks.
「Damn it, you’re so annoyingly sneaky,
then, eat this!」
『Jidoka』ran out of patience and drew a back-swing wider than usual and attacked with all his strength.
Because the attack took a lot of ti than usual, I stepped forward timingly when the huge hamr reached its peak and when『Jidoka』swung down the huge hamr, I swung the katana sideways with all my might aid at the little finger.
When『Jidoka』received the attack on his little finger in the middle of swinging down, his grip on the huge hamr weakened montarily, it slipped out and the huge hamr hurled outside the arena.
Gakon!
The huge hamr slamd onto the wall of the arena, creating a hole in the wall.
The spectators nearby were surprised, unable to stand up.
「Oioi, you should treat weapons diligently because they are important, right?」
「Damn!」
『Jidoka』beca desperate from losing his weapon, raising his huge right foot, trying to stamp .
I swung the katana towards the foot which is going to stamp from the side.
Unluckily? The katana hit the little toe of the foot which『Jidoka』raised up.
「It hurts-!!」
It seems even giants felt pain on their foot’s little toe too, he can’t lower his right foot on the floor and hops using his remaining left foot while complaining about the pain.
I quickly closed in on him, aiming at the mont when his left foot isn’t touching the floor and execute a Foot Sweep Kick with all my strength.
No matter if you’re a giant, if your left foot is in mid-air, your balance is lost too.
Doden!
Finally,『Jidoka』fell on his butt.
I climbed up on『Jidoka』using his body as a foothold and execute a『n』aid at『Jidoka』’s head.
Supan!
『n』point!
It caused『Jidoka』a cerebral concussion and lost consciousness.
「『Jidoka』vs『Seiji』’s match,
participant no. 2,『Seiji』’s win―――!!」
「「Wa―――!」」
When the spectators saw that the giant has fallen, they raised their best cheer of the day.
『Level went up to 14.
【Sword Art】is now level 3.』
Oh, I’m leveling steadily, joining the competition is definitely a right decision.
