Chapter 120 The Match Starts

City of Pars / Match venue

Next to the temporary hall where the promotion ceremony was held.
A simple Coliseum, the venue for the match, was built.
A circular stage was set up in the center, and in the surrounding area were the audience seats, like the spectator seats in the temporary hall.
It was impressive that the decoration of the stage that became the battlefield was elaborate.

Right before the start of the game, everywhere I looked, there were people, people, people… the seats were full, the salespeople were walking around, and the venue was filled with enthusiasm.

“Now finally begins the mock battle between S-class adventurers! I, Ronove of Gown’s arena will be commenting!”

The voice of the cat-eared beast-man Ronove rang out from a square box hanging around the neck of a giant bird flying over the sky.
This is a magic item that was also used in Gown’s arena and acts as a so-called loudspeaker.
If you live in Gown or have watched a mock battle in the past, you’ll be familiar with it, but if you’ve never heard of it, you’ll be surprised.
Moreover, this is the first time this has been used in Pars.
Most of these guests were upset that their ears had gone crazy.

“Hey, there are such items.
Sylvia, have you seen it?”

“When I went to Gown’s arena.
I can’t get used to it because it echoes in my ears ……”

At that time, Kelvin had a little time and was chatting with Sylvia on the stage.
The reason is…

“Ngu, Kep … I managed to finish drinking.
Next, I’ll call Mr.
Kelvin…”

“Eh, yes, you can take it slow.”

This was because Colette, Delamis’ holy maiden, struggled to cast magic on Kelvin and Silvia.
First, she cast her magic on Sylvia, but this one shot made her MP completely messed up, and collapsed on her knees.
The priestesses who were waiting on both sides of her might have predicted this and handed promptly an MP recovery medicine to Collet.
This was also a good amount, and it was hard for Collet, a girl to drink up.
However, if she did not drink, MP would not recover.
She had no choice but to drink because she had taken on this role.

Healing medicine is an essential item for adventures.
They can recover HP and MP as much as possible, but it is not suitable for use in battle.
The amount of recovery and taste varies depending on the type and grade, but the volume does not change, and it must be drunk to obtain the effect.
It’s been often said from ancient times that it’s only a novice adventurer who takes recovery medicines in battle.
If you should use it, it is a standard practice to have your party friends ensure your safety.

(I wanted to talk a little before the game, but I think it’s better to do this later.
I’m somewhat desperate…)

Collette who cast auxiliary magic to avoid instant death to Kelvin collapsed again.
Priests caught her on the verge and the recovery medicine was passed.

“Well, Shrine Maiden.
After that, if you make a barrier, it’s over!”

“Yeah, yeah… I’ll do my best…”

Colette had a blue face and put in her mouth a bottle of recovery medicine.
While Kelvin also cheered in his heart, the venue that did not know such things managed to hold in place thanks to Ronove’s light talk skill.

“The stage was created by the familiar craftsman Caesar and his disciples.
It seems that he worked hard to create a stage that wouldn’t be destroyed this time.
The decorations are also exciting!”

A group of people in the audience nodded.

“By the way, this time we are inviting Mr.
Goldiana, an S-class adventurer, as a guest and commentator! Goldiana, thank you.”

“You can feel free to call me Prettya-chan.
Nice to meet you.”

“Right now, Mr.
Goldiana.
I will give up the commentary!”

Ronove suddenly dropped out of the live commentary.

“Well, that’s always the case.”

“Yes.
I’ve been playing a lot of great games, but when it comes to S-class adventurer-level battles, I can’t catch up with my eyes.
I have no idea what they’re doing! But don’t worry, everyone, I’ll have Mr.
Goldiana explain each time!”

“I always think, but do I need that?”

“Our arena lends out voice diffusion items, so I wonder if this is a good thing.
I’ll do as much as the moderator progresses.”

A pale barrier is developed in the arena interrupting the conversation between Ronove and Goldiana.
When the barrier wrapped around the stage, the barrier lost its color and became invisible.

“Huh, huh … Now, the preparations are complete… I hope you’ll have a good match…”

Collette left while holding her mouth with both hands.

(Being a shrine maiden is also hard.
I hope she won’t vomit.)

Kelvin thought so from the bottom of his heart.
By the way, the recovery medicine is effective when it is drunk, so there is no problem even if you vomit after that.

“It looks like they’re ready.
Let’s make a final check on the rules of the match!”

“Please”

“The match will take place on a circular stage.
The winning condition is either to destroy the auxiliary magic that the Shrine Maiden gave to avoid death by inflicting damage on the opponent, or to push the opponent out of the stage or out of the field! The barrier on the stage completely blocks the magic, but please note that people can enter and exit without any problems! Please watch the game with peace of mind.
I think that you can only understand it as “dangerous” just like you!”

“You have a poisonous tongue here and there.”

“Whispering (Between us, I don’t really know the aristocrats who look like they know.
I’m letting the military officer who brought me explain the contents.”

“Whispering (That is something that a lady keeps silently inside her chest.)”

“Now, next is about the equipment to be used! If you have prepared the equipment in advance, you can use it regardless of rank! Items are prohibited, so do not bring it!”

“I’ve already confirmed that, though.”

Before going on stage, Kelvin and Sylvia have been checked to see if they match what they are applying for.
Needless to say, both of them have passed the examination as well as the non-possession of items.
Clotho’s body, which usually kept his equipment, is also away today.

“That’s the rules! Did you understand? Are you ready!? Then get to the starting position! Fast!”

He was in a hurry for some reason.

“Sylvia.
Let’s have a good match.”

“I know.
I’ll do my best.
I’m doing my best.”

Kelvin and Sylvia shook hands before the match.

“Oops.  Both players have a refreshing handshake.
This is gonna be a fair game, right Mr.
Goldiana?”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen those kids fighting.
I don’t know yet.”

Both reached the starting position.

“Kelvin, who is promoted this time, is in the east! He is wearing a black robe and a cane! What kind of game will he show?”

“Come on Kel nii! Good luck!”

“You will definitely win!”

“Good luck …”

Cheers reached Kelvin from the special seats in the front.

“……And who of your fellow women is your favorite!?”

A cacophony of cheers and condemnation echoed from the audience.

(Why now !?)

The glance from the men who came from the outside of Pars seems to be indeed painful.

“Sylvia, the last S-rank promoted in the west! In contrast to Kelvin, she is wearing white and silver light armor, and the weapon… looks like a fine sword! Sylvia did not appear in her promotion ceremony, so both of them have unknown abilities, this is going to be a fun match! “

“It’s about time to start”

“Oops, I’m sorry.
Let’s start the game! Are you ready!?”

The cheers stopped, as Kelvin put his cane on his shoulder, and Sylvia stuck out her sword in front of him.

“Then the match — start!”

“!?”

With the signal to start, half of the stage turned into a swamp, and strong wind pressure hit Sylvia.
Kelvin cast simultaneously ‘Poisonous Swamp’ and ‘Heavy Wind’.
Sylvia’s feet sank into a bottomless, poisonous swamp, and the crushing pressure put a load on her.

“Sshi!”

Sylvia moved forward without any pressure.
She ran through the swamp and the fine sword flashed.
But what was waiting there was Kelvin’s Great sickle Boreas Death Size.
Each other’s prey crossed and slipped through.

“Good.
Really good.”

Kelvin put his hand on his bloody cheek.
He glowed slightly, and when he returned his hand, the wound was already gone.

(Soil, wind, light.
Do you also use 3 attributes? Anyway…)

“Looks fun.”

“Oh, it’s so much fun.
It was worth the effort for this day.”

Kelvin put praise for Sylvia on her face.

“Yeah.
As I promised, I’ll kill you with all my might.”

“Well, uh, Mr.
Goldiana.
I didn’t know before, but now …?”

“Kelvin tried to hit Sylvia under heavy pressure on the poison swamp, but by freezing only her feet, Sylvia avoided the swamp.
Go straight and aimed at Kelvin’s right eye with the sword.
I didn’t only try to stab it.
With that momentum, she was about to stab his whole head.
“

“Eyes!? Do you close your eyes with such a beautiful face!?”

“It looks like he deflected it off to his cheek.
On the other hand, Kelvin-chan has a scythe, isn’t that a wand? Well, that scythe went to pick up Sylvia-chan’s neck.”

“Neck!? He felt like a good young man at the promotion ceremony… I’m laughing at something!”

“It’s okay with Colette’s magic.
Besides, it seems that he bent over and avoided it.”

Ronove shouted, interrupting Goldiana’s commentary.

“This match is dirtier than I expected!”
