Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

"Today is a big sale, drinks are on their own, you guys can help me watch the store."

Martin picked up his coat and looked at the other two people in the bar.

"Is it free?"

"dream."

Fugwald and Koval exchanged glances, then asked.

"Okay, but where are you going?"

"arena."

Martin shook the ticket in his hand.

"Ah? You got the tickets for the inner field? I heard that tickets for this game are not available even if you have money."

Good man, you went to see Maria secretly without telling us, right?

"I also asked someone to get me a ticket with great difficulty, and the seat is not that good. The ticket prices nowadays are really outrageous."

Martin had a bad feeling all along, so he insisted on going to watch the game.

"Okay, go ahead. We'll take care of the store. Remember to say hello to Maria."

Just as Martin was about to go out, the newspaper boy who visited him every day arrived on time.

"Hello sir, this is today's athletics lunch report."

Taking the newspaper, Martin smiled kindly.

"Thanks, kid, take a glass of milk and go."

"Okay! Thank you sir!"

The newsboy happily left with the milk, but Martin saw an unbelievable piece of news in the newspaper, which just confirmed his bad premonition.

"This.............No, I have to go there quickly!"

Martin's face showed an anxious look. Koval and Fogwald had never seen Martin run so fast before.

"What happened, Martin?"

"Could it be that............? Kids, please let us have a look at the newspaper too!"

"Welcome! Welcome everyone to today's Flame Blade Arena!"

Familiar arena, familiar host.

"I'm still not satisfied with the last game, and the blood of Knight 'Soft Wind' has not yet been wiped off the artificial terrain. But it doesn't matter, let his bloodstains be the spice of this game!"

"There is no doubt that everyone has come here today just to witness Lin Guang's elegance. This young girl has brought us so many miracles! In ten minutes, the competition will officially begin."

"A temporary team consisting of Maria Rinkou and the Farfang Knights will fight against this year's rookies, the revenge alliance composed of the elite of the teams that failed to advance to the special tournament in the past, the Snow Heel Knights!"

It seems that Big Mouth Mob has not received the notice of the temporary change of opponent, nor has he received the notice that Far Fang Knight has withdrawn from the competition due to injury.

“A brand new legend versus the blade of revenge, a brand new two-on-two points match, unprecedented excitement, the game is about to begin!”

"That's really slow... Although Yuanya is usually like this."

Sofia looked at the time and there was not much time left.

"It doesn't matter. As long as I can catch up, she might be waiting for me in advance."

Although she said this, Maria was actually quite worried.

"Ms. Maria Linguang! Please go to the contestant waiting room and get ready. It's about to begin!"

Reminders from staff have arrived.

"Ah, it's about to start. I'll go get ready first, Sister Zofia."

“…Go ahead.”

Watching Maria leave, Sofia looked at the time again.

"Zofia? Where's Maria?"

Martin finally found Zofia. He came so long in advance, but only found her when the show was about to start.

Martin was so anxious when he came out that he forgot to bring the terminal with him. He couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Uncle Martin, why are you here?"

Sofia raised her head and asked with some confusion, this is not an auditorium.

"You are still waiting here for the Farfang Knight to show up, but she will definitely not be able to come today."

".............What?"

Martin spread out the newspaper in his hand and pointed to the news on it to show Zofia.

"Here, in today's competitive lunch report, the Far Fang Knight was involved in a fight among Knights fans and was seriously injured. He is now missing and his life or death is unknown. At least that's what it says on the surface."

"This stuff must be fake. What kind of fan fight can make a battle-hardened knight 'disappear'?"

Do you really think the Knight is some kind of entertainment star?!

"Wait, could it be that............"

Zofia finally realized what Maria might face next.

"Right now, what should we do with the game? Something must be wrong. Zofia, think about it seriously."

"Don't think about it, Maria must give up, it's too late!"

It was too late, Sofia was still one step late.

Even if I had come earlier, I probably wouldn't have been able to give up successfully.

"How many people came here for Lin Guang! And how many people came here to see Lin Guang's style! According to the backstage data, at this moment, in every city-state and every village in the country, there are hundreds of thousands of spectators watching this event through various channels!"

Just by listening to what Mob the Big Mouth said, you can tell that Maria is now in a difficult situation.

If she doesn't want to go on stage, the organizers don't mind forcing her to go on stage through some uncivilized means.

"Thank you very much to every audience! But at this moment, I must announce a sad news. The Farfang Knight was injured in the accident last night and his whereabouts are still unknown."

"But even so! Maria did not choose to give up! She still stepped onto the field despite the risk of fighting two people alone! How much is this courage worth in your hearts? Let me see for sure!"

The amount in the prize pool was accumulating rapidly, and soon it exceeded the total amount of money lost in the battle between Maria and the Left-Hand Knight.

"That's right! That's how it should be! Please welcome this season's hottest newcomer! The little knight of the Rinkou family! Maria Rinkou!"

Maria walked into the competition venue alone, raised her weapon in response to the cheers of the audience, but the cheering audience could not see Maria's slightly trembling hands.

It’s over, it’s over. How can I fight two people alone? However, as a knight of the Linguang family, I must...!

"And her opponents are two veterans of the Snow Heel Knights! They failed to qualify for the Special Tournament in their original Knights Order for two consecutive years, so they left and sought other paths, and finally came together to form the Revenge Order!"

"They are............"

The heavy footsteps interrupted Big Mouth Mob's speech, and he showed a look of surprise.

I was wearing a loudspeaker, how could the footsteps be so loud that they could cover up my own voice?

The door to the competition venue opened, and before anyone stepped out, an ominous feeling and a sickening smell spread throughout the arena.

No, that's definitely not a member of the Snowheel Knights, that's——

monster.
