Chapter 22: What is a Classmate?
The match between the three up-and-coming gladiators and the mysterious newcomer, me, was attracting a lot of attention even before beginning due to the high stakes of 100 million……
“I'm sure you'll be disappointed to know that all three of these gladiators have won at least ten straight games since their debut…….Are you okay, Yuta?”
It seems that Jean has been looking up information on Haranishi and his team, and tells me so……Ten wins in a row without losing?……That's what warped their character.
“It's okay…….For some reason, I never felt like I was going to lose.”
Wherever it comes from I had no doubt at all that I would win…….I don't think it comes from confidence in winning, I think it comes from the belief that I will win.
The Coliseum was more exciting than I've ever felt before…….The match time was also at night and treated as a main……
“Yuta, don't get hurt.”
“That's right; you can lose, but don't do anything dangerous.”
When Nanami and Farma told me that, I felt energized…….I got into Arleo and walked to the entrance.
The hottest match of the day! Shinsuke Yamakura, Yuji Haranishi, and Yosuke Shiba, the up-and-coming gladiators from Team Dorf, who haven't lost a single match since their debut, and have double-digit victories! Their Magicrafts are Lanza, Edal, and Mishee. Against them is Yuta, a rookie gladiator who has won the last two matches by a landslide! His Magicraft is Arleo!”
The odds are displayed on the electronic bulletin board…….42/1.6 They still think my wins were a fluke……Or is that Haranishi and his team are highly regarded…..
"Hey, Yuta……don't complain about dying…….”
“Hey, Yamakura, don't be so crazy about killing your former classmate, such a reckless fight would be like suicide.”
“Hahaha, you're right, this is Yuta's suicide, killing him is not an option.”
Hmmm……people can change so much……I should be careful……The buzzer sounds to start the match……
“The fight is beginning!”
Yamakura wielded a club-like weapon, Shiba a long spear, and Haranishi a two-handed sword…….The three of them seemed to have completely underestimated me and approached me unguarded…….
"Here, Yuta, try to avoid it!”
Yamakura then came at me with his club…….It's certainly faster than the two opponents I've fought so far, but……it still feels slow…….I avoided it lightly…….
"Oh, he dodged that one…….Lucky.”
"Yamakura, next time let me attack him, I'll skewer him with this Longinus spear!”
Shiba attacked with his long spear……The long reach seems to be its advantage, but he is using the spear in close combat, not at a distance. I hit the spear handle with my tonfa as hard as I could and broke it off…….
“Hey! What the hell are you doing! This spear is expensive!”
"So much for playing around, come at me like you mean it.”
I said that with a great deal of trepidation……
"Tch……what the hell are you talking about Ludia value 2?”
"Yamakura, I'm seriously going to kill you……because it seems that idiots need to die to understand…….”
The three of them move to surround me…….Suddenly, the Shiba, whose spear has been broken, jumps on me. He clutches at Arleo's torso, blocking my movement……
"Die, Yuta!”
Yamakura's club and Haranishi's two-handed sword attacked me from both sides…….I caught both attacks with my hands…….
“No way!”
“You gotta be kidding me!”
After grabbing Yamakura's club and Haranishi's two-handed sword I crushed them.
"Crushing a tektite weapon with one hand…….”
“No way!”
I lifted Shiba, who was clinging to my body and tossed him high in the air. He flew up quite high before falling……. Boom! When he fell, smoke came out of his Magicraft and stopped moving.
“Shiba……Damn!”
Yamakura hit me with his body…….I punched him in the torso with my tonfa. The torso deformed to the point where the original form could not be recognized. He fell backwards like he was blown away…….The last remaining Haranishi was completely freaked out and backed away from me…….
"It's a lie…….There's no way Ludia Value 2 can do this…….What the hell is wrong with you?……You lied to us! What are we going to do? If we lose this game, we're…..finished…….It's all over!”
"I don't know what you mean……you got what you deserved……”
“Damn it! Ohhhhhh!!!”
He just said that and lunged at me. I smashed Haranishi's face with my tonfa as hard as I could.
Its head was blown off with a beautiful sputtering sound…….Haranishi's Magicraft collapsed on the spot…….contemporary romance
“Winner, Arleo, Yuta!”
I listened in silence to the loud cheers…….I wondered if the rest of the class was like this…….I was worried about that…….
