◆ ◇ ◈ ◇ ◆

Starting with an rank swordsman, a series of matches against the rank swordsmen began.

The second was a [Dual Swordsman].
And the third was a [Holy Knight].

[Dual Swordsman] was an [Advanced Class] based on swordsmen who can use the skill. (note: )
It was quite a hassle, but I managed to defeat it without damage.

Furthermore, [Holy Knight] was [Advance Class] which not from the swordsman type, but from the knight type. Its biggest advantage was the amount of that was greater than a normal people thanks to the skill.
Because of that, he was a troublesome opponent in the rules of this match.
Well, after all I can defeat him without damage.

However, what was huh......
Somehow that skill, was it something that couldn't be learned?

" amazing Arel-san! One more person! It was unexpected that nine people would be defeated .....! Please beat the last one like the others too!"

Lilia's cheers could be heard from the edge of the stage.

◇ ◈ ◇

"O-oioi ... if it leave like this, Dragon Fang will really win, seriously..."
"If that happens, this will really be a big loss ..."
"Shit, I should have bet there too...!"
"No, that's not certain. Look at that. The next one that Black Blade come out is the top person in the rank."

『Then, the tenth swordsman of the "Black Blade" is here !, [Master Fencer] Masamune!』

剣 豪 - according to translation(gtl): kengō
The last opponent appeared on the stage.
He was a middle-aged man who wore clothes that I had never seen.

"Looks like that last person will become like last bastion."

The sword on his waist was not the straight sword people used to use, but the blade was slightly curved.
That blade was wide enough, but as thin as a rapier.

"Katana, huh."
"Right-degozaru. My class is [Master Fencer], it's an [Advance Class] of [Samurai] the eastern swordsman-degozaru yo."

note: he use "sessha" and the suffix "-degozaru"
As expected of the sword city.
Even until there was a swordsman from the east.

"Fumu. Very interesting opponent."

I gripped my sword.
However, the opponent did not draw the sword from the sheath, only lowering his waist slightly forward.

"Aren't you draw it?"
"This is the attitude of my sword-degozaru."

.............Oh, I see.
There was no gap at all.
If I made a bad move, the opponent's sword will cut me down first.
My trained "Clairvoyance" ability ring out an warning alarm to that attitude.

"... As I expected-degozaru. Deciding if that can't win with a half-cooked sword, as a reward I will show you my certain-death skill, you are really sharp.”

Certain-death skill huh.
Maybe it was a technique released from a situation where the sword was pulled out from its sheath.
I didn't think he would draw his sword if I respond to this within certain distance, if I lower my guard and tooke a step, I would finish.
This was a type of skill that very difficult to deal with at first sight.

But if so, I couldn't see that the special skill.
That would be very unfortunate.

I got closer to my opponent.

"Are you determined to jump into the area of ​​death even after understanding it - degozaru"

And when the distance between us only two meters.
The killing intent who had been suppressed until now, quietly gushed out from the entire body of that eastern swordsman.
Suddenly a flash flashed at that moment, and my figure was cut do――――wn.

But that was only my "Afterimage".
I left "Afterimage" in front of him, then I went to the side of that swordsman and cut him down.

"Too naive-degozaru"
"!"

However, the eastern swordsman was not confused by "Afterimage", he firmly grasped the existence of my true self.
And as proof, the sword hadn't even been removed from its sheath.

"―― "

居 合 斬 り ・ 極 - iai kiri ・ kyoku
The [Samurai] certain-death skill was released.
The godspeed slash was only a few millimeters from my nose.
Of course, the opponent was a sword master would not be wrong in determining distance.
That because I could determine the timing, so I could avoid the slash reaching me at the last second.

"Impossible, are you really avoiding my sword...-degozaru!?"
"Of course that's fast, but unfortunately, I'm used to the faster sword movements thanks to my mother."

However, what kind of technique was that, even though I used "Clairvoyance" to read it.
However, whether vision from before was possible.
At that time, that skill wasn't activated, but it was enough for me to only be shown that mark.
As expected, he was not trapped by my "Afterimage", and at that moment, his certain-death skill was decided to end.

"But to show me something good. As a gratitute, I will show you one of my "certain-death" abilitiy."

――――"Piercing Tempest".

Maybe he saw it like countless flashes.

[Sword Princess]'s certain-Death skill, [Piercing Tempest].
Lightning-speed piercing stabs pierced like a storm.
As soon as I released that technique, there was impossible to avoid it.

That piercing stabs pierced into the entire body causing all of the opponent's disappeared in an instant.

『The winner, Arel! Since all the "Black Blade" players have lost, the winner is "Dragon Fang"!』

In that declaration, the venue became wrapped up in an extraordinary rumble.

"Even winning from [Master Fencer] who is a top-level rank ..."
"Even more, winning out of 10 people...!?"
"Damn you Black Blade! Loses in that way! What a shame!"
"You think how much money I bet! Give my money baaaack~! "

Some people were pure shocked, and mostly voices from people who bet on Black Blade, and there were also voices of hatred raised here and there.

"Yattaa~! That's amazing, Arel-san!”

Lilia jumped happily.
