8 – After the duel

Alan Ludwig was fighting a duel with his body throbbing here and there.

Since childhood, one of his stamina has been confident Alan, but even if his stamina overflows, it doesn’t mean that his wounds don’t hurt.

Alan, who was a bit nervous because he had never successfully landed a successful hit, was about to attack again, when a strong shock hit his leg.

“Kuh!”

It’s a big deal.

The intense pain in his leg made Alan hesitate for a moment, but he realized that he had shown a great gap during the duel and hurriedly tried to correct his posture.

I will suffer as it is.

It was Alan who had such an intuition, but for some reason Kyouwentos did not move.

For reasons unknown, Alan, feeling that this was his chance, hurriedly corrected his stance and charged.

Kyo Wentos, who had not moved, slowly turned around and

Grab!

It was Alan aiming for his head, but Kyouwentos turned his body and the wooden sword slashed his shoulder and went past.

Just like that, the moment Alan grabbed his sword and tried to stab him with a series of attacks from behind.

“Enough! That’s it!”

The professor announced the end of the duel.

I won.

Alan thought so and sat down.

Kyouwentos behind him was also sitting down, clutching his shoulders as if collapsing.

I saw Riel running right in front of me.

Riel.

I won! I saved you!

Riel’s always expressionless expression was distorted by her concern.

Did she worry that much?

The moment Alan thinks so and tries to welcome Riel

Riel didn’t even look at Alan and she ran past him.

Uh…?

She turned her head toward Riel, who had passed Alan.

Riel stood beside Kyouwentos, she looked at him anxiously and she said something.

What she said did not reach her ears.

Only her face was visible, her worried expression looking at Kyouwentos.

…Alan, who has been with her for over 10 years, has never seen her face.

“Why…”

The moment Alan muttered that, he heard the professor’s voice.

“Alan Ludwig, disqualification! The duel is Kyo Wentos’ victory!”

Professor Richt Altman.

He is the swordsmanship professor at Grand Seine Academy and also the dueling teacher in charge of duels between students.

In fact, in the original work, he plays the role of sneaking over Kyo Wentos’ bribe and interfering with magic during the duel.

A moderately corrupt adult who only accepts bribes.

As long as there are no bribes, he just dutifully acts as a referee.

His ability to detect magic isn’t as high as that of wizards, so he didn’t know which of the many students was using magic, but he definitely felt magic coming from outside during the duel.

And at the same time, he could see that Kyo Wentos’s movements had become sluggish.

There was nothing left to see. Someone interfered with Kyo Wentos from the outside.

He declared Kyo Wentos victorious with Alan Ludwig’s disqualification.

“Why…Why do you think I’m a disqualification!”

As Alan Ludwig questioned him with a disconcerted face, Professor Altman looked at him with a cold expression.

Alan Ludwig.

As the son of an incumbent knight, he was quite good at swordsmanship and knew how to use some magic, so he was a boy with a promising future.

However, there have been times when some teachers have expressed concerns about being self-righteous.

“Alan Ludwig, don’t you think the last attack in the duel is strange?”

“That…That’s…”

I could see Alan’s expression tremble slightly.

Alan is also a prosecutor. Even though a big opportunity came at the end, Kyou Wentos, who did not attack and moved slowly, must have felt that she was strange.

However, during the duel, he probably didn’t have the time to think about it for a long time.

“Some of the students in the audience used magic on Kyo Wentos.”

“……”

“At the point where a third party’s magic intervened in the duel, it was a foul, and apparently magic that interfered with Kyo Wentos.”

“……”

“And if what I see is correct, you would have been stricken if it had not been for the interference. Do you have any objections?”

“…No.”

Alan agreed and backed off unexpectedly.

As he is also a prosecutor, he must have been shocked to learn that he had been dealt the final blow through someone’s sabotage.

That if he hadn’t sabotaged him, he would have been defeated in the end without even allowing a blow.

As the duel ended and her crowd dispersed, Liliana Edwin stood still, motionless.

‘I…What did I…’

Liliana couldn’t contain her astonishment at her own actions.

She was Liliana who watched the duel between the two with a trembling heart.

Since it was a duel that was carried out by Alan’s misunderstanding in the first place, there was discomfort in a corner of Liliana’s heart.

But with each battle between her, Liliana’s heart grew more and more urgent.

Alan was never able to land an effective hit, but instead allowed several attacks and received wounds all over his body.

I can see that Kyou is also getting tired, but he’s not hurt at all, just catching his breath.

Then, Alan limped on his leg and showed a big gap.

At the same time, I could see Kyou from the other side trying to get into an attack.

When she was still engaged to Kyou, she had seen his swordsmanship a few times.

He was then in a posture he had never seen before. Even if it was a practice wooden sword with non-lethal magic, there was no such thing as too much damage.

‘No!!’

If that hits, Alan loses.

If Alan loses, he might really be out of the academy.

I can’t be with Alan.

The moment I thought that, Liliana was unconsciously using magic.

Liliana’s magic was activated so quickly that it surprised even herself, and she turned to Kyou.

At that moment, she felt that her eyes met Kyou’s.

Get it!!

I belatedly realized that it was stupid.

Even if Alan wins by using magic, the professor who sees the referee is not a decoration.

Alan is disqualified.

“Alan Ludwig, disqualification! The duel is Kyo Wentos’ victory!”

I hear the professor’s voice.

Alan went to protest, but agreed with the professor’s words and left the duel with his head bowed.

He himself

She should have asked for forgiveness from Kyou, but she hurt him again because of a fleeting feeling.

Liliana couldn’t leave because of her own stupidity.

Alan left, and Kyo left with the support of a few students, Liliana was left alone, standing there blankly.

Other students were leaving for their practice, or huddled together and chatting.

Just then, Liliana heard footsteps approaching her.

The moment Liliana lifted her head and looked right in front of her.

Slap!!

With a loud noise, Liliana’s face jerked.

A subtle pain came from his cheek.

Turning her head to stare blankly at her opponent, I saw her characteristic red hair.

Riel Ignis.

Recently, Kyou and I have been particularly attached to her.

She was glaring at herself, her expression contorted sternly.

“……”

“……”

The two of them were silent for a moment while facing each other.

At that time, Riel’s mouth opened with difficulty.

“…Ugly…Person…!”

“……”

Having said that, Riel left the place and she disappeared somewhere.

Liliana couldn’t comment on that.

Because she herself was really ugly.

“Kyou! Are you okay? Are you really okay?!”

“That…Yeah, am I really okay?”

After I went to the health room with the help of my classmates and finished her shoulder treatment, Riel ran into the health room just as the health teacher had left her seat.

After that, Riel clings to me and worries about me.

The hit on her shoulder was not a serious injury as it was hit while she hurriedly avoided it.

Pain like being hit on her shoulder with a baseball bat at most?

…No, thinking about this again, it hurts terribly.

“It’s just a bruise on her shoulder, and she’ll be fine after a few days of applying the medicine, so don’t worry.”

“I…Really?”

Riel had tears in her eyes.

You were very worried.

For some reason, I felt grateful and a bit embarrassed, so I changed the topic.

“hahahaha… I ate a big one at the end.”

“No, she did it because Liliana interrupted her.”

“… Huh?”

She was a little surprised when Riel put her Liliana’s name on her lips.

To be honest, it’s hard to tell who used the magic because there are so many students.

Unless you’re someone with a very good ability to detect magic, or someone familiar with that magic like me, you’ll have a hard time figuring out who used it…

Riel smiled at my surprised face.

“When magic was used on Kyou, I thought it was because I saw Kyou looking at him.”

“That…That’s it.”

No, more than that, it must have been a second or so when I focused my eyes on Liliana…

You saw that?

“What are you going to do with Miss Liliana?”

“Well…”

When she found out that Liliana had used her magic on me to sabotage me, she felt that any attachment she had for her vanished.

Yes, I had no feelings for her anymore. That’s why she made this decision all the more.

“Now whether she goes to her academy or not, she just doesn’t care”

“Will that work?”

“Yeah, I’m not related to anyone anymore.”

The duel was won.

Maybe Alan or Liliana think I’m going to keep Liliana out of her academy.

But no.

If you want to go, go as you please.

Now Liliana, Liliana Edwin have nothing to do with me.

If I kick Liliana Edwin out of her academy because I’m uncomfortable with her, I feel like I care about her.

So, just leave it alone.

Whether she continues attending her academy or she quits, she has no involvement now.

Since Riel had a slightly dissatisfied expression on his face, I felt like I was about to laugh.

And she felt grateful for thinking this far.

“Thanks, Riel.”

“Uh…?”

“But rather than that, now I have to prepare for the next job.”

It’s not over yet.

The duel could have been won somehow, but the duel wasn’t all that Alan Ludwig had prepared.

Smart

I heard a knock on the door of the health room, and then a woman walked in.

She is a very familiar woman to me.

She was a woman with light blue hair tied back in a maid’s uniform.

Her tawny eyes peeked out and glanced at Riel, and a light smile formed on her lips.

“I’m back now. Master Kyou, Lady Riel.”
