Chapter 127: 126 - - The Brave Participates in the Fensink

We are taking part in the afternoon pentathlon on the second day of the school competition.

At the arena ground.

With the chancellor's voice, an image appears in the sky above the ground.

"Oh no, it's Kazuma right from the start!"

"Mm!　I'm really looking forward to it, Julius!"

I was excited.

I had already met Kazuma once, but this would be my first battle with a sword.

"So that means I'm going to have to face the Eastern Federation. ...... I don't think I can win there either. ...... Oh, I hope you'll abstain. ...... No, I can't. ......Yeah I know, I know. ......"

Anti-Blue is turning Blue.

"Haaaaah!　What do you mean, Chancellor?

Anti rolls his eyes and looks at the chancellor, who is sitting at the commentary table.

By the way, Historia, you didn't show up for this afternoon's game.

"And, that means ...... that we're sure of second place or better ......?"

<<

Anti stands there with a blank expression on his face.

"Nice work, Anti!"

"Mm!　That's what I'm talking about!　I didn't think this was even calculated!　Brilliant strategy!"

Me and Kazuma clap.

"What?　Huh?"

Anti is nodding his head in confusion.

"Of course, of course!　It's all about this Anti-Von Madukas!　It was all in the palm of my hand!"

""""Wooooooooooooooooooooo!"""

The audience cheered loudly.

"That's just what I'd expect from you, Mr. Anti!"

"You've done a wonderful job!"

"That's the emperor's son!　Mr. Anti is so cool!"

The members of the empire applaud Anti generously.

Anti-Punch makes a cool pose to answer them.

"...... safe!　Thank God!　We're neck and neck. ......!　Thank you God ......!"

Sounds like he's having a hard time too.

"Well, ...... and. Okay, Kazuma. Shall we?"

"Mm!"

We move to the center of the field.

"Guys!　You know what I'm talking about!

Anti says to me with an anxious look on his face.

"I know. I'm not going to cut corners, I'm going to give it my all.

"Mm!　I will do my utmost to challenge you, Julius!"

We're fist-bumping each other.

"No, no!　I mean go easy on him!"

""What, why ......?""

"If you guys give it your all, the venue!　No, the empire!　Or maybe it's because the whole continent is about to blow up!"

""You're overreacting!""

"Oh, God, I hate these unaware monsters!"

Well, whatever.

The afternoon session on the second day of the competition.

Pentathlon, last event, fencing.

I challenged Kazuma to a fair and square one-on-one battle.
