Chapter 81 – Martial Arts Tournament

#081.

“
Aaaaagh!”

Clink! Wow Jangchang!

As soon as Rai left the room, Bianca started tossing everything he could get his hands on.

Immediately, the door opens and Durak enters.

“Ah, lady! What are you doing?”
Haha. That’s cheeky!!”

Bianca squawked like a mad bitch, as if she couldn’t hear Durak.

“Haa.. Why did you hold back?”

Bianca, who regained her senses after bursting into anger for a long time, questioned her actions.

Why did I just watch a mere commoner attack me?

Besides, I accepted a bet that didn’t work.

“Ha.. Is it because I like the scent of tea today?”

Today, the tea is so sweet and fragrant, so maybe that’s why I put up with it?

Bianca sighed and sat back in her chair.

It was Bianca who didn’t break the table she cherished even though she made a fuss.

Fluff-

After calming down for a while, Bianca poured tea into a spare cup and drank it.

And..

Clink!

“Why does it taste like this!!”

I couldn’t stand my temper at the completely different taste from before, and even smashed the remaining teacup.

Bianca looked at the teacup for a moment, then raised her hand and stroked her hair..

“Ugh..! Dirty.”

As she tried to do so, she remembered that she had put her hand on Rai, and dropped it in fright.

And the moment he turned his head, a sweet reverberation crossed his nose.

“What? Where does the smell…”

Using her keen sense of smell to follow her scent, she saw her own hand.

“No way..?”

Impossible, but Bianca brought her hand to her nose to see if she was right, just in case.

And..

Sniff… Sniff…

Upon sniffing her, she was ecstatic, and a sweet scent seeped into her nose.

“…Sweet.”

Bianca even felt like her own nose had been ruined.

How dare she find the commoner’s body odor to be sweet.

Even her vagina throbbed and her entire body temperature began to rise.

Her shame and her unwillingness to admit it forced Bianca to bite her lip.

Then, all of a sudden, she went crazy with a bet.

If this scent really belonged to that commoner, it wasn’t worthless.

Seureup-

She said, “I told you to be a bath dog.. Yeah. At least it’s worth washing my feet.”

Bianca continued to smell her sweet scent, and she sharpened her eyes.

***

“Ah, I’m sorry..”

She murmured as she left the waiting room and returned to the inn.

She made the bet as planned.

Personally, I think it’s a good thing.

Now that she can get one more technical book.

But that’s only when I thought of it, and it’s a different story when I think of Vienna and Mia.

It’s a big deal if the two get involved.

Fortunately, it was that he would stay still until the results of the competition came out.

That’s also true, because if you recklessly run amok in the neutral zone, you could be disadvantaged in the tournament.

I don’t know what the circumstances were, but it was clear that he was thirsty for winning the martial arts competition.

‘If this is the case, I should jump out as soon as I receive the bet reward after the tournament.’

Of course, you can try to kill them right on the spot, but that’s no problem.

‘Because I can use overdrive…’

Then at least I can get the technical papers and go through them.

In my experience so far, about a month passes after death.

However, if you think of acquiring a unique skill, it is not a loss.

“Nothing bad.”

The only problem with it is that if I receive the description and immediately go through it, I will be left with a lost child.

Of course I did enough.

Because I was able to make a starving girl laugh in the slums.

‘I need someone I can trust…’

As I was walking, I heard a familiar voice.

“Hey. Lai~!”
“Uh..? Lock?”

That person was Locke, the merchant who drove the wagon from the rural village to the Libran estate.

“Hey! Long time no see?”
“Did you come for the competition?”

Basically, he works in the Libran territory, but a merchant is an existence that pursues profit.

If you think about it, there is no way that such a merchant would miss the huge event called the martial arts tournament.

“Okay! It’s because there aren’t enough inns. In cooperation with the residents of this place, we are doing a business to accommodate travelers who need a place to sleep. I’m taking the commission from the middle.”

If I understand it my way, I heard that I was doing a homestay, but I was doing a middle link bridge.

When I asked if my understanding was correct, Locke said yes! Said with applause.

“Okay. That’s right. It’s good for people who have spare rooms at home because they get paid for lodging, and it’s good for travelers because they don’t have to be homeless. I like it because I get a commission from the middleman.”

Locke liked it, saying that he had earned a good deal this time.

I looked at his face and asked.

“Lock. So, where are you going after the competition?”
“Hmm? That’s it. I heard that Mark is married? I heard that an inn is also open, but I’m thinking of going there sometime. Will you go with me?”

‘It was good!’

If Bianca Urinas were to ambush her with a grudge, she would definitely be targeting me.

But what if I go to a place other than the Dykes estate?

Of course they will come after me and Vienna and Mia will be safe.

As soon as the thought progressed to that point, he immediately spoke to Locke.

“Lock. Could you please do me a favor?”
“What. You want a ride?”
“Yes. But there is a girl I know besides me. Can you take me to Mark?”
“Um… A girl you know?”
“Yes.”

Locke pondered over my request before asking.

“I can burn it once. But what do you mean by taking him to Mark?”
“I heard that Mark is looking for an employee at an inn. I’m sending him because he’s a trustworthy kid.”
“Is that so? Well, if you hire them from a young age, you can do it for a long time, so it should be good. I get it. Don’t burn it.”
“And! Thank you!”

In this way, Mia’s case was also well resolved.

Afterwards, she briefly discussed where and when to meet with Locke, and hurried to the inn.

Vienna and Mia said they would just watch my game and go straight to the inn, so they’re probably waiting in the room.

***

“Don’t give up! Cheer up!”
“Brother. Cheer up..”

The next day is the moment when the winner of this competition will finally be determined.

Vienna and Mia cheered me on by clasping their hands.

Looking at it, I waved my hand lightly and headed to the waiting room.

“Whoa..”

As we had been for several days, we settled down on the terrace and saw more spectators than ever before.

On the first day of the preliminaries, the four separate stadiums were merged into one and shined.

Looking down at the stadium, I closed my eyes and exhaled slowly.

No matter what, there’s no way I wouldn’t be nervous.

I don’t know what kind of family the Marquis of Yurinas is, but it will be on a different level from the opponents I’ve fought so far.

There must be something like that family’s unique Aura practice method and swordsmanship.

You just have to be careful with that.

[Ladies and gentlemen! Today, the winner of the Magria Cup martial arts competition will finally be revealed. Who will be the final winner! Let’s see those candidates!]

─Waaaaa!!

As if using magic, something like a video was printed in the sky at the same time as the host spoke.

With a holographic feeling, the faces of the finalists, the weapons they use, and their characteristics pass by.

The moderator, who had been raising the mood for a while, heard a host whispering in his ear and shouted with a broad smile.

[Thank you for waiting! Finally, the first game begins! The first player to appear is a lady from the noble family of Marquis Yurinas! Bianca~ Yurinas!!]

─Wowaaaaa!!

At the same time, Bianca Yurinas emerged from the aisle, looking worse than ever.

Although it was a long distance, the degree of facial expression change was perceptible if it was the physical ability of a swordsman who reached the level of 6 stars.

And among them, Bianca’s face was clearly visible to me, who had excellent physical abilities.

After staring straight ahead for a moment, Bianca turned her head inside her and gave her a fierce gag.

So she said with a smile.

“Have you prepared the betting reward?”

I don’t know if you understood what I was saying.

But Bianca clenched her fists and hit her head! Turned

The moderator soon introduced the opponent, and the match began.

Kang! Cagan! Chaejaeng!

[Ah~~!! Bianca player! I’m going to drive the Fran player with a bloody momentum!!]

As the moderator said, Bianca was swinging her sword wildly, intending to kill the other person.

It is full of gaps.

Captivated by rage, Bianca’s sword was rough and the movements were great.

However, the gap was not large enough for an opponent who was not in the same class, but only at the level of 5 stars, to penetrate.

How many swords did you swing like that?

Suddenly, the anger washed away from Bianca’s face.

Looking at the other person with eyes devoid of a single emotion, as if looking at a doll-like inorganic substance,
He raised his sword.

“Khaaaaa!”

The other party seemed to think that it had come, and rushed at Bianca with a half-shrieking sound.

And then it attacks fiercely.

But it doesn’t reach

“It’s boring..”

Bianca’s incredible reflexes dodged all of her swords by a fraction of a sheet of paper.

‘There’s something…’

There is a significant difference from what we have seen so far.

The Bianca I knew didn’t have such overwhelming reflexes and dynamic vision.

Perhaps that is the characteristic of the Aura practice method of the Marquis Yurinas.

[Great! Bianca player! Effortlessly dodge all of Fran’s attacks! It moves as if it came out of Sanbora!!]

As graceful as a fluttering butterfly that swims through the air, but as swift as a hawk seeking prey.

Bianca disallows all attacks.

Then he squinted his eyes and swung his sword.

“Keugh..!”

Fran barely ducked her body to avoid it, but the trajectory of the sword broke midway and flew right into her neck.

The sword was swung as it was, right in front of the neck…

Paaang!

Stopped.

Then, the air exploded with the impact, and Fran’s hair was scattered.

“Aww!!”

Fran saw the sword approaching right in front of her neck and sat down behind him with a scream.

[Ah~!! Fran player! I can’t stand up! Your will to fight is completely gone! If this happens, Bianca Jurinas will advance to the finals!!]

─Oh… Whoaaaaa!!

The audience was bewildered by what had happened in an instant, then gave out loud cheers.

“I’m glad.”

I was worried about whether I should bring out the Frencia-style swordsmanship that I had hidden since I was the only one with the deck uncovered, but I got quite a bit of useful information.

It must be a characteristic of the Aura technique that Bianca learned.

Perhaps the effect was amplification of the senses.

So now you have to think about how to respond to it.

But once…

Smart-

“Lai player. You must go right now.”

It has to be played in the semi-finals.

I immediately left the room and followed the receptionist down the aisle.

Then, I bumped into Bianca who was heading to the waiting room.

But we didn’t even pretend to know each other, let alone talk.

Of course… There was a strong conflict behind it.

I hear Bianca’s voice right in my head.

-Did you say rai? Look forward to it.. I will kneel in front of you.-
-Well. Young lady, please prepare a technical book.-

After exchanging opinions with each other, we passed Bianca and headed for the stadium.

…

Time passed quickly and it was time for the finals to begin.

The opponent in the semi-finals, of course, quickly took the madness and headed back to the arena after a short break.

Thud- thud-

As we slowly move toward the light at the end, we hear more and more gigantic shouts.

─Kyaaaaa! Lai oppa!
-B. Yes. Card! Rain. Yes. Card!

The arena was divided into two groups, male and female.

Most of the girls root for me, and the buffalo cubs root for Bianca.

‘Assholes… Why do you like that kind of crap?’

As for me, no matter how pretty I am, I don’t know why my personality is so damn popular.

To be honest, my breasts are so small that I really can’t feel the charm of them.

‘Vienna is much better..’

As soon as I went out into the aisle, the moderator introduced me again, and soon Bianca came out from the other side.

When the two of us came up to the stadium and confronted each other, the moderator said.

[His Excellency Count Magria has a word before the game begins!]

When I turn my head, I see a middle-aged man standing up from the seat of honor and walking forward.

The Count tapped the microphone installed in front of him a few times before opening his mouth.

[This is the Count of Percha Magria. Many warriors who participated in this competition. I saw your dance well. I hope you enjoy it until the very end!!]

After Count Magria’s very, very short speech, the audience was silent for a moment, then cheered.

─Ooh oh oh!!
—His Excellency, Count Magria, the best!!

The sooner the principal’s lecture is over, the better.

Maybe that’s why the reaction of the audience was very explosive.

‘He’s a good person.’

In the first place, no one will like it if you talk for a long time right before the finals.

I don’t know if Count Magria knows that or if it’s just a nuisance, but he finished his speech very well.

The Count, who looked around for a moment as if in response to the cheers, sat down and the host immediately shouted.

[The final of the Magria territorial martial arts competition. Start now!]

Pew!

At the same time as the moderator speaks, a signal flare goes off.

“I’ll make a mess of it.”

Bianca’s sword flew quickly.

Kaaang!

He replied by punching it out.

“Swarm.”

Bianca’s face contorts at my short but bold words.
