Chapter 294: Why is My Opponent Princess Alice Again?
Chapter 294: Why is My Opponent Princess Alice Again?
Sida, who had initially planned to watch the spectacle, was stunned, and even Yecheng himself froze in that moment. He had braced himself for a beating, but Kreaya's reaction caught them off guard.
Unwilling to give up, Sida persisted and questioned his sister Kreaya once more. The anticipated bloodbath did not unfold, much to Sida's disappointment, who had been eagerly awaiting the outcome.
When Sida first arrived at his sister's dormitory, even though Kreaya didn't provide any answers, Sida had already found his own.
Kreaya's room was also filled with chocolates received on Valentine's Day, and there were even more than Yecheng had! Compared to Yecheng, who had just arrived at the academy, Kreaya was already a celebrity within the academy. Not only was she academically excellent, but her swordsmanship was exceptional, and her spirited and cool personality made her truly popular among both genders.
There were numerous male students in the academy who admired Kreaya, and many female students who idolized her for her cool and handsome demeanor.
Kreaya had received even more chocolates than Yecheng on Valentine's Day, making it difficult for her to reprimand him.
Sida's disappointment was evident when he didn't witness Kreaya chastising Yecheng, but he never expected that the joy Yecheng couldn't experience would be felt by Sida during the academy's swordsmanship tournament.
Indeed, in the first round of the tournament, Sida drew Kreaya, the top-ranked opponent.
For this tournament, Kreaya initially had no interest in participating, as she had already won the championship in the previous one.
However, with Yecheng's participation this time, Kreaya decided to change her mind.
"Although I was a little disappointed not to meet Yecheng at the start, encountering you is still a pleasant surprise, Sida.
After being apart for two years, let me see how much you've improved as a swordsman."
Sida and his sister had a glorious record of 404 battles with 404 losses, and each time, he ended up on the receiving end of a beating.
Setting aside others, Sida had gained significant insights from losing to his sister.
"Well, I'll lose either way, so let me show my dear sister the 'Guaranteed Defeat 48 Move Divine Technique' I recently mastered."
While Sida and Kreaya's sibling battle unfolded, Yecheng also determined his opponent through the draw.
Facing the golden-haired beauty with her spiral locks and noble aura, Yecheng couldn't help but sigh.
"Yecheng Omega, even though we're not in the same grade, I've heard of you.
You're the highly praised existence by Princess Alice, the youngest Heaven's Pride of the Royal Knight Order. Is having me as your opponent a disappointment?"
As Yecheng sighed, the golden-haired beauty holding a longsword, who had initially been excited for this duel, frowned and spoke with displeasure.
"No, I think Roze might have misunderstood. I sighed because I feel unlucky to face such a powerful opponent as Roze in the first round."
Of course, this statement was merely an excuse; he did sigh, but not out of disappointment.
The main reason for Yecheng's sigh was that the golden-haired beauty before him was also a princess.
Roze Oliana, the princess of the 'Artistic Country' Oliana, was the sole heir to the kingdom.
In the artistic kingdom of Oliana, Roze was expected to follow in the footsteps of her royal family, but she chose the path of the sword, guided by her own will.
Not only is Roze Oliana a princess, but she is also the student council president at the Midgar Mage Knight Academy, renowned for her exceptional swordsmanship within the academy.
However, when it comes to popularity, Roze Oliana's fame even surpasses that of her fellow students, Princess Alekseia and Kreaya.
After his previous spar with Alekseia, to be honest, Night City now has a certain shadow cast over his perception of princesses.
No, due to the painful experience, Night City now has a psychological shadow cast over female mage swordsmen! After defeating Kreaya, he was relentlessly pursued by his childhood friend, even considered a lifelong rival.
After winning against Alekseia, he was directly requested to guide her in swordsmanship, becoming her private swordmaster.
Whether it's Kreaya or Alekseia, these relationships are just too troublesome for Night City. He now desires a regular male mage swordsman as an opponent instead of the highly popular Roze Oliana!
Watching Sidney being stylishly beaten by Kreaya, then repeatedly getting back up, even using his ketchup to create artistic effects, Night City hesitates, wondering if he should showcase his acting skills.
For him, the swordsmanship tournament was never on his agenda, and whether he wins or loses doesn't seem to matter much.
"No, no, no. The reason Sidney isn't afraid of losing is that in Kreaya's eyes, he's just a younger brother who can't get his act together.
If I lose too quickly, without fulfilling my promise with Kreaya..."
Night City was ready to throw the match, letting his opponent, Roze Oliana, win.
But upon second thought, he suddenly remembered his promise to meet Kreaya in the finals. Compared to the potential trouble with Roze Oliana, angering Kreaya seemed like a more serious consequence...
"Night City, if you won't fight, then I won't hold back!"
Seeing Night City standing still, not attacking, and even shaking his head while muttering to himself, Roze became angry.
In Roze's eyes, this was a sign of disrespect towards her and the battle itself.
Dressed in tight black leather pants, Roze's long legs propelled her body towards Night City. In her hand, a sword thrust towards Night City's vulnerable body.
"Forget it! Let's have a fair fight, so she doesn't lose too badly."
As Roze charged towards him, Night City made his final decision. Indeed, he found Kreaya more terrifying, so he had to win this battle!
When Roze's sword approached Night City's body, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
At such close range, most people would have already been struck, but Night City made an incomprehensible move in that instant, his body miraculously retreating as the sword neared.
Simultaneously with his retreat, as Roze's sword continued its relentless pursuit, Night City swiftly drew his sword, blocking the attack in one fluid motion.
