Chapter 293: Boredom, I Want to See Blood Flowing Like a River!
"So, what's the deal with this so-called Academy Swordsmanship Tournament? Why don't I ever recall signing up for this thing?"
About a week after Valentine's Day, Sida, who had been living the life of a supporting character, was suddenly and inexplicably notified by the Academy to prepare for the tournament.
After some inquiries, he learned that Jaga and Rxu, those two bastards, had secretly signed him up for the Academy's Swordsmanship Tournament behind his back.
The Swordsmanship Tournament is an annual event at the Mage Sword Academy, serving as a form of encouragement and assessment for the Mage Swordsmen.
However, since the tournament has no age restrictions, freshmen like Yecheng and Sida usually wouldn't sign up.
It's understandable that as newcomers, they wouldn't be a match for the senior students who have been training in the Academy for two or three years.
"Sida, we did this for your own good. Think about what happened when we returned from the Quyue Trading Company. Your reputation as the 'Rampage Swordsman' has spread throughout the Academy.
If you can showcase your skills in the tournament, I'm sure you'll be able to restore your name."
In response to Sida's interrogation, Jaga put on an act of brotherly concern, claiming that they were doing this for his sake. His demeanor was a perfect portrayal of the so-called "brotherly love."
"Oh, so you think my nickname spread because of whom?"
Sida didn't really care about his reputation; in fact, he preferred being ordinary and inconspicuous, as it fit his 'Shadow's Strength' persona.
However, Sida didn't believe a word Jaga said. He'd rather believe that Yecheng was a pure-hearted romantic than trust that these two had his best interests at heart.
"That's right, we did it for your benefit. To ensure you shine in the tournament, we even invited Sherry Barnett for you.
I'm sure that if she sees your outstanding performance in the tournament, she'll fall even more deeply in love with you."
Rxu's words immediately made Sida's face reveal a look of understanding.
He had been wondering why these two had secretly signed him up for the tournament, and now he had his answer.
Should he say they were indeed his "dear friends"? They were worried that he might succeed in finding a partner, so they intentionally set up this spectacle to embarrass him in front of Sherry Barnett.
However, after understanding Jaga and Rxu's malicious intentions, Sida didn't say much more. Instead, he was quite satisfied.
Ever since learning that Sherry Barnett was the daughter of the Associate Dean, Sida had intentionally kept his distance from her.
After all, her status as the foster daughter of the Academy's Vice Dean didn't fit his 'Supporting Character' persona.
Despite his efforts to avoid her, the girl seemed persistently unwilling to give up on him.
If he could perform poorly in the tournament and use that to make her lose hope, that would be a good thing.
"It's not just you, Sida; that annoying Yecheng also signed up for the tournament.
So, this is a great opportunity, Sida. If you run into Yecheng, take this chance to teach him a lesson!"
When Yecheng was mentioned, Sida recalled their previous battle in the Capital City's alley, and his face immediately showed a look of unfinished business.
Ever since Sida arrived in this world, he had been constantly training to achieve his goal of becoming a nuclear-level fighter. With each passing moment, his strength grew, but as his power increased, so did his sense of emptiness.
Up until now, he had yet to encounter an opponent who could push him to unleash his full potential. Throughout his life, the only person who could make him take things seriously was Yecheng.
However, Yecheng never truly engaged in a serious battle with Sida, always stopping short of a full-blown confrontation. Sida believed that Yecheng thought their final battle was yet to come. (This was Sida's own assumption, as Yecheng considered Sida to be a Child of the World, and those who fought against him in their world usually met unfortunate fates.)
Unfortunately, during this Mage Sword Academy Swordsmanship Tournament, Sida was using his main character, otherwise, he wouldn't have minded continuing the battle with Yecheng after the tournament.
On the other side, Yecheng, who received the tournament notification, was completely baffled. He hadn't signed up for any such tournament.
It wasn't until Kreaya approached him that Yecheng learned he was on the list because Kreaya had signed him up.
Jaga and Rxu, Sida's "close friends," had registered Sida for the tournament with the sole purpose of returning their good brother to the noble ranks of the Single Dogs.
As for Kreaya's reason for signing up Yecheng, it was simply to face him in battle.
Even after all these years, Kreaya's competitive spirit remained strong, and her desire to defeat Yecheng had never waned.
Back in the countryside, there was indeed a gap between their strengths, but Kreaya believed that what she had learned at the Mage Sword Academy in the past two years had narrowed that gap.
Coincidentally, the Academy's Swordsman Tournament was about to begin, so Kreaya secretly signed up Yecheng as well.
As for whether she would encounter Yecheng in the tournament, Kreaya had no doubts. In her opinion, there were only a few truly strong individuals at the Mage Sword Academy, and with their strengths, it was inevitable that they would meet in the finals.
It is worth mentioning that when Kreaya visited, she brought a large amount of chocolate, which she claimed was a request from Sida to deliver. It was said to be from a group of young and beautiful sisters.
When Yecheng saw Kreaya carrying the chocolate, he even thought his end was near. No matter how hard he tried to think of a solution, he couldn't find a way out.
Sida had asked Kreaya to deliver the chocolate, and Yecheng immediately recognized that it was from the girls in the Shadow Courtyard, as he vaguely remembered some of the names on the chocolates.
As for why Sida went through the trouble of having Kreaya deliver it, Yecheng could guess with his butt that Sida was up to something.
However, just as Yecheng's mind raced to find an excuse, Kreaya's response left both him and Sida, who was eavesdropping from the rooftop, stunned.
"Chocolate is delicious, but eating too many sweets isn't good for your health."
Yecheng: ( ˉˉ )
Sida: ( _ ; That's it? What about the rest? Knowing that so many girls like Yecheng, why is her reaction so calm?
Where is the bloodbath scene I wanted? Damn, is this how it ends?
