268: Chapter 268 – Elisabeth’s Thought and Arthur’s Stupid Idea 268: Chapter 268 – Elisabeth’s Thought and Arthur’s Stupid Idea ‘How is this possible?’ ‘I never thought that I would see this day.’ ‘It’s… so hard for … to cheer only one of them.’ Elisabeth had that thought as she saw Henry and Arthur standing opposite to each other as enemies.
This was not what she had in mind when she ca to watch the fights.
As a student from Class A, she had been freely invited to watch the Exam Fights.
She, Samantha and everyone from Class A got the best seats as special privilege.
At first she was a bit hesitant seeing that she was ignoring Henry.
But later she couldn’t help but co.
She was very embarrassed to show herself to Henry after what happened that day on the bombing.
For any of you that didn’t know, she and Henry almost kissed… that’s it… almost.
That was the part that sting her the most.
If they had kissed or they hadn’t done anything then at least she would have known what kind of relationship they had but now she didn’t.
Were they almost a couple or was that almost kiss a sign that they shouldn’t be one?
That was what had been going through Elisabeth’s mind every day since that day.
But what really worried about her was Henry.
What did he think about her?
She couldn’t co to a correct standpoint but Elisabeth knew was that, she really missed Henry.
She couldn’t sleep, eat nor study as every ti her mind would be filled about him.
Yet, she was also too shy to et him again.
But today was a chance for her.
She could see him and yet wouldn’t be able to talk or et with him… such a great chance.
Yet fate tricked her once more… that unholy being!
Elisabeth ca here solely to watch Henry fight and cheer him on from a far standing point, where he would not see her and possibly might hear her.
She also thought of cheering Arthur… who she also ignored as Elisabeth felt that straying away from him would be the right choice.
But what crazy thing was she seeing right now?
‘Why are both of them facing each other… on their first fight!’ Elisabeth believed that Arthur and Henry were the strongest, she had seen them fight through her eyes.
So she thought that they would et each other at the final mont but why now?
‘Who do I support?’ “Wow, this was not what I had in mind when I ca here.” Samantha said beside her and Elisabeth looked towards her.
“I thought of cheering them on individually but it’s a bit hard now, who do I choose?” Elisabeth felt glad hearing that response.
She wasn’t the only one having trouble choosing which one to support.
“What does it matters who you choose.
Just cheer the one who’s winning or the one you want to win.” Rosie suddenly said to Samantha.
‘Hmm… she’s not wrong, but you can’t pick a side just like tha-‘ “You’re right, Rosie!” Samantha said as she found her resolution, “I’m going to cheer on Henry.” ‘What just like tha-‘ Samantha then looked towards her with a smile as Elisabeth felt a bad premonition.
“Elisabeth, since I will be cheering Henry, you can cheer on Arthur.
That way, both won’t be left out, right?” Samantha smiled awkwardly, “Ye- Yeah, you’re right.” ‘I should have chosen faster…’ … At the Arena “It’s the good kind of surprise, Arthur.” I say walking towards the center, “I thought my first fight would be with so random or slightly strong mob but no, they went out and gave the desert.” Arthur’s facial expression wasn’t completely exciting, “I don’t really understand what you said, but I get you.” He pulled out his family sword, “You and I are the strongest in this whole exam.
Facing each other at our first battle would tell us the outco of the whole exam.
The one who wins this fight, will be the one who wins everything.” “Straight to the point.” I say as Falbic took the turn to talk.
“It seems both contestants are ready to fight… just rember not to go too overboard or none of you will be winning, alright?” Falbic said with a no nonsense tone.
“I’m okay with that.” “I will tend to the rules.” Falbic took another look at us before shrugging, “Alright then, go crazy.” And went away.
We stood there for a mont before Arthur asked, “Isn’t he going to start the fight?” I look at Falbic sitting at the one corner where he it seed he was waiting for us, “That fucker…” Arthur understood that I knew sothing, “What is it?” “He already started this fight the mont he told us to ‘Go Crazy’.” “O- Oh!” Arthur said, a bit stumped, “So we fight?” “Why not?…
You go first.” I say and Arthur nodded.
He took his sword up to head level and looked at .
From the way his eyes moved, I was sure he was looking for my weakest part.
He looked and looked until I deliberately showed him a spot at my left stomach.
Arthur took a deep breath and slowly walked towards .
For he knew, he couldn’t just go on and fight aggressively while losing stamina.
I had great defense and if he just went in head on and lost his strength later, with a few good punch from , it was over from him.
Seeing him ready to fight, I pull out my large sword and get ready to defend.
“Damn!
That’s a huge sword… what do you even use it for?
Killing of squadron of enemies.” Falbic said, finding the huge black sword as inhumane.
“Clang!” As soon as I looked towards Falbic, Arthur took that small space and strikes .
But my sword was already there, blocking his attack from even coming a step forward.
When I turned towards him, he was already running behind , trying to attack my blind spots.
“Clang!” “Cling!” “Clang!” He went for the knee, the back and also went to penetrate my stomach.
I blocked out all the attacks with one move from my sword.
All of them seed quite dangerous to the crowd’s eyes.
They took Arthur’s moves as cowardly and dangerous.
But he was being smart.
Arthur made sure to attack places that wouldn’t do mortal damage to while also staying away from my line of sight and remained behind my attack range.
Seeing how I was so tall and strong, it would be a stupid idea to hit straight on.
Even though Arthur had decent strength, he knew that in this few months I had surpassed that level of strength and so he went with another idea.
It was to stay behind as it would be hard for to attack him from there.
Technically, it seed as if the guy saw as a giant from a video ga that was slow to reaction and couldn’t reach behind his back.
Stupid and cliché idea.
But what I find interesting is that, even though I kept that weak spot open for him, the guy didn’t go for that place one bit.
He didn’t even seem like he would go for that place ever.
Either he knew that I opened that place deliberately or he was intentionally delaying attacking there.
Either way, I have a new idea.
