Chapter 185: Freetia Knights Training Match 3<hr>
Fifth Match
First, Princess Sarah draws her sword and says her name.
"Sarah Freetia, Commander of the Knights of Freetia. Let''s y fair"
Takuto also drew his sword and said his name.
"Leader of Liebling. I am Takuto. I''m going to give you a real fight"
"Yes. I hope so too!"
"Fifth match. Begin!"
While holding each other''s swords, we shorten the distance.
Princess Sarah recognized Takuto''s strength.
"(He hasn''t shaken his body at all even if he moves...hes a person that Olivier-sama praises...then, Ill show him my seriousness!)"
As the swords came into y, Princess Sarah attacked Takuto first. With this first attack, they both realize that Princess Sarah is stronger.
Knowing her advantage, Princess Sarahunches an onught against Takuto. In the face of Princess Sarah''s onught, Takuto just defends himself. And the sight of Takuto stimtes Princess Sarah''s emotions.
"(Is he one of those people who cut corners just because I''m a woman and a princess? Then it''s over!)"
"Light Sword!"
Princess Sarah''s sword shines and a sh at the speed of light is unleashed. The moment everyone thought it was decided, Takuto''s sword stopped the light sword.
Na!?
Everyone who knew Princess Sarah''s light sword was surprised. A sh at the speed of light is an attack that cannot be dealt with by someone who cannot use a light sword. It was a miracle that Takuto was able to stop it.
Takuto flips the stopped sword, closes the gap and shoots a serious sword that shes the opponent with a single sword.
"!!?"
At this moment, Princess Sarah recognized her ownck of awareness when she was hit by Takuto''s serious killing power. It was not that Takuto was not seriously fighting Princess Sarah. It was that he had made her believe that he was not really fighting.
She was able to use her skills to dodge, but if she hadn''t, she would have died.
Princess Sarah, who had escaped danger, pulled herself together and used her light sword again to sh at him, but again Takuto stopped her. She uses the light sword in session, but all of them are blocked.
A miracle is a miracle because it only happens once. If it happens two or three times in a row, it''s inevitable. Brass looked on in disbelief at this bizarre scene.
"Wh...What''s going on...that"
"Don''t tell me. That''s what happens when you ignore my advice..."
"Does Garou know what''s going on?"
"Yeah. I can''t believe it, but he predicted the Princess''s attack"
Garou''s statement was correct. Takuto predicted all of Princess Sarah''s swords and prevented her light sword from attacking.
"Predict?"
"That''s right. If you know when and where the light sword is going to strike, you can stop it, right?"
"That...yes, I can. You can''t stop the light sword if it''s being wielded...you don''t think he''s doing that!?
"Yes...and without using skills. Because predictive skills are one-time only. There''s no doubt about it"
Brass eximed.
"Is he a person? That person"
"I think everyone here is asking that question, right?"
The two of them could remain calm because they had not yet fought Takuto, but Princess Sarah, who was fighting, could not.
Princess Sarah is aware of what Garou was saying. So she tries to do something about it, changing the location, timing, and type of her attacks and sometimes attacking the same ce, but it''s all predictable.
Before she knows it, Princess Sarah is caught in the feeling that she is being manipted by Takuto. And Takuto doesn''t overlook this gap in her mind.
Takuto''s onught begins.
It was the moment when Princess Sarah tried to defend against Takuto''s attack. Takuto''s sh slipped through and a sh appeared from another angle.
!(What!?)"
Princess Sarah evades, but Takuto''s sh hits her armor. When Takuto pursues, three shes are reflected in the eyes of Princess Sarah.
A sh aimed at her neck, a sh aimed at her heart, a sh aimed at her belly. Princess Sara uses her light sword to deal with it, but a real sword aimed at her dominant hand flies.
She barely avoids it and Princess Sarah, who decides that she shouldn''t be near Takuto, ispletely away from Takuto.
The technique used by Takuto was Mitsurugi-ryu Mugen. It is a technique that uses a feint to create an illusion of a sh. Some of the illusions may be real and some may be just illusions.
The namees from the fact that it is a formless attack that uses illusion shes. This technique can only be recognized by the opponent, so from the outside it looks like Princess Sarah is making a strange defense against Takuto''s attack.
Takuto and Princess Sarah sh at each other again. However, in this sh, Princess Sarah is able to deal with Takuto''s attack.
"(If he can create an illusion with his killing intent and feints, he can deal with his opponent by only looking at his sword!)"
It was the right decision. But it was also a trap. Narrowing her gaze means creating a blind spot in her eyes.
"(Disappearthis is bad!)"
Princess Sarah barely defends herself. But the threat still continues. The attacks that until now had ended with her being shed away were being shed back. Just when she was relieved to have blocked the deadly attack, a surprise attack catches Princess Sarah by the neck.
However, the sword was stopped by an aura of light. Takuto distances himself. Then Princess Sara tells the judge.
"I am defeated. Call"
Princess Sara deres her defeat.
"Eh? Ah, yes. The winner, Takuto!"
Lily and the others apud Takuto. Princess Sarah turns on her heel and is about to leave. Takuto spoke to Princess Sarah.
"The match is still up in the air, isn''t it? Can you tell me why you are dering defeat?"
"...I would have died from your earlier attack. That''s all there is to it"
"That''s right...it seems I''ve been buying into you. I''m honestly disappointed"
At Takuto''s words, Princess Sarah looked at Takuto angrily and the others booed.
"No matter how much you want to, those words are an insult to me!"
"I only said that because you insulted me. I wielded this sword to kill you in earnest. But you didn''t take it seriously enough to admit defeat"
"You know how much of an insult this act is to a warrior"
Princess Sarah''s eyes widened. It is true that she has never been able to get anyone to really fight her because of her status as a woman and a princess. She remembered what she had said to them.
I''m disappointed in you
Princess Sarah had decided to fight Takuto with her sword and the minimum skills necessary. Thest skill she used was a skill that was not included in the skills she had decided to use, so she dered her defeat.
What a shameful act...she had decided from the beginning that she would not fight with all her might against a warrior who was really fighting against her. It was ridiculous to think that she would do what she had tasted so many times before.
"Willpower!"
A golden aura overflowed from Princess Sara. An overwhelming authority of power was born.
"I am sorry. It seems I was wrong. Can you please let me start over?"
Takuto smiled at the sight and sheathed his sword.
"Eh...please make arrangements with the serious Princess Sarah"
Princess Sarah also sheathed her sword.
"Thank you"
She could only be grateful to Takuto who, seeing her at full strength, still challenged her to kill her.
The judge was not sure what to do, Princess Sara said.
"The match is re-starting. Stay away from me. You''ll die"
"Hya, Hyai!?"
The judge panicked and ran away.
Takuto sees this and takes a deep breath.
"Huu~...here we go"
"Yes"
Takuto''s figure bes invisible to the audience.
"(It''s not a blind spot. It''s a technique that makes you disappear by bingpletely one with nature...brilliant)"
Princess Sarah kept her sword at the ready, waiting for Takuto''s best attack.
And the time wille. Takuto''s attack was an Iai from the front blind spot. Princess Sara catches it. But the sword drifted and aimed at Princess Sara''s neck.
Princess Sarah ducks and swings her sword down. Takuto catches her, but is overwhelmed by her power and loses his right arm.
The match is over and Takuto kicks Princess Sarah in the stomach. But it is blocked by the golden aura.
"(He really...he continues to fight even after losing his sword and his dominant arm...)"
Princess Sarah''s sword glows blue and her special move is activated.
"Eternity Freetia!"
The blue heavenly light sword that pierces the heavens is waved in Takuto. In the end, he waspletely blown away by the light speed of the sword.
"Wi, Winner! Sarah Freetia-sama"
When the referee said this, the knights cheered.
"Good work. Princess"
"Are you okay? Princess"
"Do you think he''s okay? I don''t want to fight him again"
Garou and Brassugh.
"Why are youughing?"
"No, I thought it was good medicine for the Princess"
"From now on, you should listen to your men and be diligent. You were totally outssed in swordy"
"I don''t need Garou to tell me that!"
While the three of them were talking, the royal family in the audience spoke.
"Sarah...it looked fun. You"
"Umm. She seems to have gotten over a lot. I have to thank him for that. Sarah will get stronger"
"She hates to lose...Sara-onee-sama"
"But is that person really a summoner?"
This question from King Gran was thought of by everyone who watched the match.<hr>
