[The Holy Knight Encourages His Beloved Disciple]
The curse that had plagued Raul for so long had been removed thanks to the power of the Holy Sword
Having recovered, Raul’s face was brimming with confidence.
When I returned to the arena, the match I thought was over was still going on.
Judging by the reactions of the spectators and Tayte as well as the others who were watching the match nearby, it seemed that the match had gotten quite heated.
Then I noticed that Raul was nowhere to be seen.
When I looked around to see where he had gone, I found him in the corner of the venue.
What’s more, he was accompanied by someone…
“Mr. Klaus?”
It was Raul’s master, Holy Knight Klaus.
It appeared that he had come to give some words of encouragement for his disciple Raul.
I approached to talk to Raul, but before I could speak up their conversation apparently ended. When Mr. Klaus noticed me, he quietly walked in my direction and said as we passed by each other.
“Watch yourself out there. Some people… are plotting something behind the tournament.”
“?!”
When I hurriedly turned around, Mr. Klaus took out a card from the chest pocket of his knight uniform and showed it to me.
That card… I see. The principal also asked Mr. Klaus for help.
Oh, right.
“Mr. Klaus, that card is currently unusable.”
“What? What do you mean?”
“I tried to contact the principal earlier… but I couldn’t connect to her because of what I presumed to be interference magic.”
“Interference magic, you say? …And one that even the Principal Abigail fails to notice?”
Which meant, it was the work of someone with extraordinary abilities.
“…Barrett, your match is coming up soon, right?”
“Yes. After Raul’s, in fact.”
“Then leave this matter to me. You concentrate on your match.”
“But!”
“I know I may not look like it, but I’m still the Holy Knight, you know?” Mr. Klaus said so with a half-joking, half-serious expression.
…I wondered why.
He gave off this very reliable feeling.
“Mr. Klaus…”
“The martial arts tournament is a stage where only a few people can stand on in the limited period of their school days. Treasure it. Don’t worry too much, in addition to me, the principal has also prepared some other people in hiding here. If anything happens, we will deal with it immediately.” Mr. Klaus gently put his hand on my shoulder and continued. “Besides—your opponent is Jarvis Lekrust. You know what he’s capable of, don’t you?”
“Yes…”
That was right.
Jarvis was going at this martial arts tournament with an out-of-the-ordinary determination.
If I had a serious clash with her… I honestly couldn’t tell how it would turn out.
“Good luck, yeah?”
“Thank you!”
In the end, he gave me a slap on the back and cheer me on.
Alright!
Thanks to Mr. Klaus, I could calm down and focus on my match.
Just then…
“Winner! Leontien!”
The winner of the second match was loudly announced.
Which meant…
“Now let us move on to the third match! 2nd year light element class Raul vs 1st year light element class Madeline!”
…it was time for Raul’s match.
“You can do it, Raul!”
“Yeah!”
Sent off by Eureka with a smile, Raul walked up to the stage with his Demon Sword in hand.
His opponent, Madeline—or to be precise, Joel, her twin brother who was disguised as her—was already waiting for him on the stage.
Joel was… pale.
No wonder.
Although his talented older sister Madeline would be able to fight Raul on an equal footing, I heard that Joel’s grades weren’t very great.
He was originally supposed to disguise himself as his missing sister Madeline only until she was found, but he ended up having to stand on such a big stage—which, presumably, was why he was so pale.
“Still… it’s strange.”
Why was he shaking so much?
Even if he had to fight, he wouldn’t take any damage thanks to the principal’s magic. Was he afraid of tarnishing his sister’s name?
While I was thinking about such things, the bell for the match to start rang grandly.
