After that, Agnos and the rest of the class continued their special training.
Leon, despite not participating in the tournament, continued watching his classmates doing their best.
ââAnd then, the appointed day for the In-School Tournament arrived.
We had not used it for a while but the tournament will be held at the stadium where we had our mock battles. The empty audience seats were filled with students who werenât participating in the tournament and their parents.
For me, since Blood is here, I was hoping that I would be able to catch a glimpse of the King of the Kaizer Empire who had summoned Kanazuki-senpai and co. However, it seems he didnât come for the tournament this time. âŚWell, he is a monarch after all, so it isnât weird if heâs busy but more than that I feel like he isnât interested in his children. Maybe itâs because Iâm biased by my bad impression of Kaizer Empire, though.
In the meantime, when the participating students gathered in the centre of the stadium, Barna-san whom I hadnât seen in a while came up to the podium.
ăLadies and Gentlemen. Today, with the blessing of good weather, I am sure we can carry out the In-School Tournament in a favourable setting. Everyone, go all out and do your best!ă
A round of cheers jolted out from the audience seat on hearing Barna-sanâs speech.
As expected, this event held that much anticipation and attraction for everyone.
ăWell then, letâs leave the preamble at it. Allow me to announce the matchup between classes that everyone is waiting for. Here it comes!ă
As Barna-san raised his hand, a projection appeared in the air.
It must be the same technology that was used in the Royal Capital Olympic in Telbert.
Setting that aside, about our opponent for the tournamentââ.
ă âŚHaha. I canât say if our luck is good or bad⌠ă
To my surprise, our first opponentââwas class S.
As I was laughing bitterly, the teacher of class S came with a disgusting smile on his face.
ăTo think weâll face each other in the first match.ă
ăAgreed.ă
ăNnn? âŚMy, oh my, is it possible for Class F to even gather enough participant to fully participate in the tournament?ă
ăThere was only a few of us in the first place.ă
ăHAHAHAHA!! How sad. Thinking about how weak and small you are, it wouldnât be satisfying if it ends in only one matchâŚLetâs see, itâll be troubling if your excuse for losing was because of a shortage of people, so Iâll allow you to have someone join in the middle of a match during the tournament. Thereâs a boy left on your side, is there not? If he has the guts to fight, he may join in the middle of the match. Well, I donât think he will though!ă
I checked Leonâs situation with the corner of my eyes, but, as expected, it would be hard for him to participate in the tournament.
ăâŚâŚă
ăDo your best struggling. At least, they could be good target practice for my studentâs magic! Fufufu⌠AHAHAHAHA!!ă
Whatâs with that cheap villain laugh.
As I was involuntarily taken aback, Beatrice-san talked to me with an air of anxiety.
ăAno⌠is it really okay? If something were to happen to the students⌠ă
ăBeatrice-san. This is a matter that Agnos and the rest have decided. Thereâs nothing else that we can do but watch their effort.ă
ăDas right! Ane-san, just watch us with a bang!ă
ăNo need to be worried. We wonât hold back any mercy for those impudents.ă
ăRurune-chan, why donât we try to be more gentle.ă
There wonât be any casualties, right? Rurune has shown her bloodlust though. I will believe in you all.
ăWell, even if our first opponent is class S, the opening matches are of other classes. Letâs leave the stadium quickly as well.ă
For this In-School Tournament, in order to allow the groups to make full use of the arena to the fullest, we quickly left.
After getting seated in the participant-only section, we confirmed the other studentsâ matches.
ăNow, here we are, the In-School Tournament! The moderator is me! Lily from the broadcast club will be reporting it to you! And the commentator for today, weâre inviting Michael-san!ă
ăHello, Iâm Michaelă
Who!? I donât know who is this commentator though!? And his voice is wastefully good!
When I inadvertently surprised, Beatrice-san muttered so.
ă⌠Who is it.ă
Does no one knows!?
Looking around, I saw everyone was tilting their neck in unity.
There really isnât anyone who knows! Why would you call someone like that!? I thought heâs some kind of bigshot that I didnât know of! Ah, even Barna-san tilted his neck!
As I grandly retorted it in my head, the commentator proceeded.
ăHere are the two classes that will battle each other first!ă
The commentatorâs voice echoed throughout the audience seat, and in the air, class C and class A were displayed.
ăNow, what kind of match will they show us! Michael-san!ă
ăLetâs see. It will be, like ⌠very amazing.ă
ăI see! What an interesting prediction!ă
Donât âI seeâ me! What are you convinced about!?
What interesting, wasnât that only a shallow reply!?
Is this really alright!?
ăWell then, although this is a match between class A and class C, personally Iâm focusing on participant Geonis from class A.ă
ăHou, and why is that?ă
ăParticipant Geonis has been chosen as a delegate for class S, is the younger brother of participant Robert, and is also the second prince of the Kingdom of Wimburg, but magic-wise heâs only a step behind his elder brother, and as heâs in the class S, his overall battle prowess is equivalent those from class S.ă
ăI see, I didnât know about it.ă
CommentatorâŚ! Itâs bad for not knowing about that, isnât it!?
That being said, Winberg Kingdomâs second prince means he is Ranzeâs son huh ⌠and his older brother is in the class S, and it seems heâs one of the delegates that will fight against us, what kind of person is he?
ăWell then, since the participants look ready as well, letâs proceed with the match! Participant Bob from class C versus participant Terry from class A ⌠First match, start!ă
