Chapter 118: v7c9

 

Oh, Almark, where the hell were you!"

Nelson shouted when he saw Almark running back to the support stands.

'The Pillman match is over already."

“Sorry."

He apologized and looked over at the arena, where Deg's match was already about to start.

"How Pillman did?"

'"He lost."

Nelson frowned as he looked at the arena.

"He did his best it was annoying to see Ein's face, because he looked like he was good at it."

"I see. ......"

　Now they had two wins and two losses.

Almark looked at the cheering seats of the first group.

　Just then Ein was also looking at Almark.

　When their eyes met, Ein smiled and waved at him.

　Almark also waved back.

"Hey, Almark, why are you waving at the enemy? "

　Nelson looked at him and shouted, but Almark shook his head.

"We're not the enemy."

　Until the day of the tournament, Almark too had thought they were enemies.

　But they have been training together for the same purpose. There is no hatred, no life and death between them.

The people of the north do not call those enemies.

At that moment, Bowen's voice sounded, "Begin."

It has begun. Who is Deg dealing with?"

Murka. ...... honestly, I think he's a little better than Deg in terms of strength.

If Ein is calculating, well, that's the kind of opponent he's going to get, isn't it?"

　Almark nodded.

"But I don't know Ein that well."

"What?"

"About those three."

Almark looked at Torque and Garain, who were watching the match.

Deg caught Murka's sharp strike with his own sword.

　(Dangerous.)

But before he could be relieved, the next attack came at him.

Deg managed to parry it too, and then moved in time. There was no time to counterattack.

　(Damn, he's strong.)

Deg thought as he looked at Murka's confident face.

The other party is a lackey of Torque, and if he attacks aggressively, he will be defeated in a moment.

　(I'm sure Ein has told him that.(

　Murka stepped in again. As if he was not afraid of Deg's attack at all.

Again, he desperately parries the attack. There was no way to counterattack.

" Murka, push! He' s scared!"

The voice is loud

　It's Ein.

　(Damn. He's definitely scared).

The crowd went wild for Murka's onslaught.

　When Pillman lost and the score was 2-2, Deg was honestly shaken.

The whole match depended on him winning or losing.

　In the first place, he was not the kind of person who could carry such a heavy responsibility.

In this situation, Garain would probably have been more confident in showing his strength.

From the moment he stood in the center of the arena, he could feel his body shrinking.

He did not know much about his opponent, Murka, but he had heard rumors that he had a handsome face and was popular with the girls.

When he saw the confident, well-groomed face when they faced each other, he felt as if he was no match for him.

If only his opponent was as intimidating as he was.

A strike from Muruka narrowly snagged Deg's torso, and a pair of girls in the audience cheered.

(See, all the girls are cheering for this guy.)

　(Not me)

　(Almark or Nelson. Or at least Reidow.)

Deg was slowly backing away.

"Deg! Come on!"

He could hear Almark's and Nelson's voices.

(I'm sorry, I asked you to help me train.)

He could also hear the screams of the 2nd group of girls cheering for him.

　(Sorry, but it was too much for me.)

　(See, I'm trying really hard too. )

Deg managed to endure without receiving a crucial blow.

　But it was only a matter of time.

Just then.

"Deg!"

　His voice was not as clear as Ein's or as gorgeous as the girls', but it came clearly to Deg's ears. But the voice reached Deg's ears clearly.

　Torque's voice.

"Come on."

　Was it the day after Torque had been beaten by Almark in the martial arts class?

On the surface, Torque appeared to be as strong as usual, but Deg and Garain, who had always been with him, could tell that he was very shaken up inside.

　On the way back to the dormitory, when the three of them were alone, Torque suddenly said,

"You've seen what I can do. I'm just that good."

When the two of them did not say anything, Torque continued without looking at them.

If you run out of patience with me, you can always leave and I won't hate you for it,"

he said.

"I'm staying with Torque,"

　Deg said quickly. Garain nodded.

I'm too dumb to say it right,"

　Deg tried to say why, but the words wouldn't come out right.

He experienced the usual frustration of not being able to clearly express what he was feeling.

"Torque is strong."

　That was all he could say.

　Galein didn't seem to have any intention of saying anything either. They both looked at Torque's face in silence.

　Torque looked at them in silence for a while and finally said, "

"So do as you please."

There were more opportunities to talk to other people in the class, but still Deg and Galein were still basically by Torque's side.

　Torque must have been badly hurt even then, but he didn't ask them to stay by his side or to leave him alone. He didn't ask them to do anything, he just let them do what they wanted.

When the first-year student was kidnapped by a monster, Torque went after Almark by himself.

　What happened afterwards, Deg did not know. Torque didn't talk about it either.

But before long, Torque seemed to somewhat recognize Almark.

Torque never depended on anyone.

Deg and Garain were always by his side, but he never asked them for advice, never depended on them for anything.

He has always thought and decided important things alone, and has always accepted the results of his decisions alone. And he must have stood up again all by himself.

Yesterday evening, Torque said to the two of them.

I can't do anything until tomorrow's match, your match. But..."

　” want to win," he muttered.

　Deg understood.

He knew it because he had made Almark say those words of unity to that morning.

　He had heard those words.

　Torque must have felt that it made him want to win, not only for himself, but also for the class.

If asked, he would probably shake his head and say, "

, "Galein, Deg, I'm not going to tell you to win. , but don't give up.

　Torque clapped them on the shoulder.

"I promise you then harder you are, the more aggressive you must be. The toughest times are the ones when you have to attack."

He asked them if they could do it, and they nodded.

　The strength of Almark and Wallis was something to be admired, but it was so different from their own that it was not something to be admired.

　It was just a reality that they could never be like them.

　For Deg, however, Torque's strength was different.

　He was highly capable, but more than that, he had the strength to live without relying on anyone else. Even though he was an aristocrat, he had that kind of strength from the start.

Deg, please."

　(Torque just said "please" to me.)

　(Torque, who never relied on anyone, was asking me to do this for him.)

　Deg felt his own body fill with strength.

　He could feel the excess stiffness leave his body, and a hot feeling ran through his entire body.

　 (Torque is relying on me with such an earnest voice.)

　(If hard time will came then more aggressive you should be.)

　(I keep my promise.)

　 He look closer and see that his attacks are nothing compared to Torque's and Nelson's.

　Deg struck down Murka's sword hard.

　The sudden change from his previous movement was a perfect feint for Murka.

　Deg strike his sword hard into Muruka's torso, who opened his eyes in confusion.

　With a dull thud, Murka fell to the ground.

"Enough "

　Bowen's voice echoed.

　(Torque, I won.)

　Deg proudly raised his sword.

　(Thanks for relying on me.)
