Volume 2 Chapter 31

The arena of Grand Magic Academy.

The spectator seat is full of clamor.

The students from Grand Magic Academy who saw Akito's sword technique last night are looking forward to it. In order to find out which one is stronger, their strongest, or the swordsman spirit user.

Then the students from the academy side is also not in small numbers, who is looking forward to it. Whether a student from the academy can get their revenge from the princess who made a fool out of them.

Of course, the guests and the people from the knight order was also interested. In the son of the person who is said as the strongest spirit user in this generation.

The clamors could be heard inside the arena. Inside the waiting room in the arena, Hiiragi Akito who is the center of the rumour,

"Fua~……"

is yawning.

That also can't be helped. After that, It's good that somehow he was allowed to get a room for him to sleep, but he could only sleep for 4 hours. Even though it was bad enough as he felt tired recently, he was still fighting until midnight yesterday. The tiredness and sleepiness won't be relieved just by only that.

Besides, his magic is barely recovered. Feny told me just now that it seems that only one third of it remains. Even a sluggish body uses more than this to move.

Akito thinks about the situation with a sleepy head. Then, he came up with an answer.

(……it's impossible. mhm.)

Honestly, he is unable to fight. Akito thinks like that. If He uses Feny's power, he would instantly win, but in front of that huge spectator, moreover he can't afford to use it in front of the knight order. Because of that, it's obvious that he will fight with his sword.

Fighting with sword means that he has to sharpen his nerves and move his body. Moreover, the enemy is the monster who is called the "war princess". The current him doesn't have the chance to win.

(Well, I don't know about if I can win completely, and I also don't feel like winning though.)

Thinking that far, Akito yawned "Fua~" again. His sight is blurred since he is too sleepy. His head also hurts a bit.

There is a reason why Akito said that he doesn't feel like winning. That is, if Akito win this match, Akito would be made an exclusive knight for Sylvia. His wish is to be a member of the spirit knight order. It's not to be a knight exclusive to the princess.

Moreover, he also doesn't like to stand out pointlessly. Well, it's already too late at this point.

(for the time being, Let's forfeit properly~)

『Is that alright? Just like that?』

When Akito is thinking about how he will lose for the time being, Feny speaks in his mind.

(Hm? Of course. I'm too sleepy that it's no good. No motivation comes out.)

(Hm~. Sorry~ Feny. Give the complaint to that princess.)

(I am saved since you understand quickly~)

After exchanging that much, when Akito yawned "Fuaa" again, the door to the waiting room was opened, and someone came in. when Akito turned his eyes there,

"Aki-kun! It's been a while!"

"Long time no see, Hiiragi-kun!"

It's his childhood friend, Alca and the honour student, Asha. there is also Raios whose face is swollen behind them. Certainly, it's been awhile since he saw them, but looking at them, for the time being Akito~

"Fuaaa……"

Yawned again. Because of that, the 3 of them retort """Ehh?""".

"What's wrong Aki-kun? You are looking quite sleepy."

Raios laughs while hitting Akito's back. Then after Akito lightly muttered "it hurts~", he took a glance to Raios,

"You are still living well, huh….."

"Mhm, my face is still swollen. That night, it's extremely hurt, and cold. I thought that I would really die."

Akito felt relieved for his friend's safety for the time being. At that night, Raios was supposedly beaten blue and black by Rutia and Yuuka, then turned into an ice statue. I think that he is really living well.

"Well, you reap what you sow. My face is also swollen a bit."

"Shut up. By the way, Even though I know Rutia-senpai, who’s that girl? Look, the one with silver hair."

When he said it while rubbing his cheek, Raios had a wry smile. Then, he asked about Yuuka. When he realized it, Alca and Asha also seemed to listen.

However, Akito somehow moved his sleepy head and started explaining. About how he helped Yuuka, right after the 3 of them came here. About how he was attacked by the uppercla.s.smen, led by Leonardo Dramon. About how Yuuka immediately gained control of that.

The 3 of them who listened apologized saying "we are also aware about Dramon's movement, Sorry for leaving you alone.". After that, they are quite surprised about Yuuka. Well, it's natural.

"S-ranked in the first year. Hey…… that's amazing. Well then, the dragon that came down in that courtyard is her contracted spirit."

When Asha said it as if remembering something, the 3 of them, leaked a voice "Aa~". meanwhile, Alca seems in panic, and brings her face close to Akito.

"No! But why is Aki-kun together with that girl? I don't understand!"

"Eh, Ehhhhhh!?"

When Akito answered it, Alca shouted loudly. The 2 behind her also are also unable to hide their surprise. Moreover, when Akito frowned, Alca brought her face close to him.

"In-other-words, Akito-kun accepted that 'Guidance Request', right!? That's how it is, right!?"

"Mooo! Aki-kun is an idiooot!"

Finally, Alca burst into tears. Honestly, he doesn't understand what she means. When Akito saw Asha and Raios' face for the time being, the 2 of them also let out a sigh "haa……".

"I mean there is something wrong with E-ranked Aki-kun to give a guidance to a S-ranked child! Please realize that there is something strange at that time, idioot!"

Alca who is. .h.i.tting his head is saying something. Well, it doesn't hurt at all, but… Akito who didn't understand what she was saying, tilted his head for the time being.

Then, he decides to speak honestly.

"No, well. I can't tell you the detail. But I told Yuuka to stay with me. Besides, the current me needs her."

Akito and Yuuka made a contract with strong spirits like the divine beast and dragon. In other words, in case one of them goes out of control, no one in the school would be able to stop them. With that in mind, Akito told them like that, but—

"That's! What's that! Stay together with me! You need that girl! In other words…… Fuaaaaaan!!!!"

He didn't know how they took the meaning of his words, but for some reason, Alca began to cry even harder. Akito can only be in a flurry because of that. Then the 2 behind her were—

"You. That way of speaking is….."

"That means, Akito-kun likes that girl right?"

Looking at the panicked Akito, and murmured something.

"Well then, finally the time has come."

There is the Grandneal's first princess, Sylvia Lancaster on standby in the other side of the that waiting room.

The echoing voice of the spectators reaches the waiting room, and before she realizes it, her cheeks loosened.

Why did she do that broadcast moreover it was in the middle of the night? Such voices of doubt can be heard here and there, but what Sylvia thought is really simple.

— let him fight the other students, so that she will know his strength. Then when she fights him, she won't let him cut any corner.

It's something like that. Actually, the spectator seat is really crowded. That's probably because the students who knows Akito's strength are looking forward to his match against the girl who can be called as the strongest in this academy.

If Akito cuts corners, they will know immediately. The witness are many spectators. If they would jeer, Akito would have to fight seriously. That's what she is thinking.

Well, in fact, he is currently in a really sleepy condition to the point that he can't even muster half of his strength, but the princess didn't realized that.

"Hime-sama, it's finally the time."

Her maid Layla who is attending her in the waiting room, said with a smile to Sylvia. Besides, Sylvia also had a smile.

"That's right….. At last."

Sylvia thinks while muttering. Now, probably her fiance who is in the venue, that engagement, she may be able to return it to a blank paper.

Sylvia understood his father's wish, his wish for the continuation of the royal family.

Then the fiance chosen by his father, she knows that there is almost no one that can win against her as a spirit user in the knight order.

— If it's Hiiragi Akito, perhaps……

She wondered that if it's him, he would save her, somehow he would do something for her. That day, she thought like that after she saw the flame he released.

She recalls the face of her fiance. Certainly he is good looking, and since he is in the knight order, his true ability is considerable. But, in those eyes, in those eyes that look at Sylvia, there is a darkness that seems like he only thinking about Sylvia as a thing.

—-that kind of man, she absolutely hate it.

Sylvia bites her lips, then, she recalls Akito's face next.

The boy who she saw for the first time in the monitor, and finally she could meet yesterday, even though he had a weary face, he was kind to his friends who was together with him.

Moreover, even though he shouted with a loud voice, he was still listening properly to her story after she had caused a bother to him that much.

He looked at her as a human being. Somehow he is different with her fiance, he had a straight eyes.

Thinking that far, Sylvia stretches her body, and waits eagerly for the match. The man I choose….. In order to test his strength.

— Please, Hiiragi Akito, show me all you've got.

Sylvia wished. To see how overwhelming Akito's true strength compared to her.

"Hime-sama……"

Raiya has a worried look. Sylvia immediately realized that she was worried.

"It's alright, Raiya. That person…… Hiiragi Akito, I thought he will help us for sure. That's why—-"

"Both sides may enter the arena."

The announcement can be heard there. Hearing that, Sylvia took a breath. Then, when she turned to her maid,

"I'm going."

She had a full smile, and walked out.

"Both sides may enter the arena."

Such announcement could be heard, then Akito got up saying "Well then.".

"Be careful. She is pretty strong. I said that because we are defeated instantly in 10 vs 1 match."

"Seriously! You in 10 vs 1!? Well, I won't ask how it ended up like that! For the time being I should regard the opponent as a monster! Alright, let's get defeated quickly!"

Once Asha gave him a warning, Akito was surprised and talked fast. He was also surprised at first about how they fought her 10 vs 1, but he was surprised about that selected member was done instantly.

At the same time, he also thought that it's convenient.

(If she is that strong, I guess it won't be strange if I lose instantly.)

Making such plan, AKito grins. Then, the door to the waiting room was opened with "bam", and 2 girls came in. They are Yuuka and Rutia.

"We made it in time!"

"I'm glad~. We overslept! Sorry!"

Yuuka comes running, and hugs Akito, and Rutia smiled and laughs. Looking at that, Alca and Raios became painful, but Akito endured it.

"Well, Yuuka, could you let me go a bit? Since I will lose."

"Making a bloodbath…… well, to be honest, I'm sleepy."

"No, Yuuka is light."

"Then, I'm glad."

Yuuka let go of Akito while smiling. Akito also replies her with a smile, then he looks toward Rutia.

"Well, I'm going. When this is over, let's go home."

"…… Is, is that okay!?"

Akito's eyes s.h.i.+ned, to be honest as he had given up about the lap pillow because he had surrendered yesterday. Then, Rutia smiles,

「いいよ?昨日は頑張ってたからね~」

"It's okay. Since you have worked hard yesterday~"

"I will lose immediately!"

Akito wanted to get the lap pillow soon, so he thought that he want to lose in one hit. Unintentionally he shouted in loud voice.

If he lose quickly, he could enjoy Rutia's soft thigh immediately. He doesn't even need to take the trouble to do the impossible.

『Master is also a man~』

Meanwhile Feny who understood what was inside Akito's heart, was laughing inside his mind.

Then, as if it's natural—-

"Senpai….. Is it that useless meat's fault? Is it okay to kill her?"

Light disappeared from Yuuka's eyes,

"Aki-kun! If it's a lap pillow, I!"

アルカは涙目で叫び、

Alca shouted with teary eyes,

"d.a.m.n you, Akito! Please share with me too!"

And Raios kneeled down on the ground for some reason.

"Seriously, Hiiragi-kun……"

In that situation, no one realized that Asha let out a sigh.
