Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

After closing the student handbook, Zig walked out of the lounge.

And that was the moment he slowly walked out of the blue gate——

[A week ago, due to an accident at Wuqu Academy, the Wuqu Academy appointed Ziegler, who was supposed to represent Wuqu Academy! Now he has publicly announced that he will represent Akatsuki Academy! And we have indeed received the identity documents and recognition from Akatsuki Academy! ]

[Even! Even! Everyone, look! The contestant Sieg who walked out of the blue gate is wearing the uniform of Akatsuki Academy──!]

"—————————!"

At the loud shouts of the commentator, Sieg, wearing a specially-ordered Akatsuki Academy uniform, slowly walked onto the stage of the Seven Stars Swordsmanship Festival.

All the audience were in shock and silence at this moment.

Including Sieg's opponent, Toudou Daohua, also showed a look of surprise at this moment.

Then--

"What a joke! Do you know what you are talking about?!"

"Get out of here! Give the spot back to Axing!"

Thunderous curses broke out in a corner of the audience.

Although the impact of Akatsuki Academy's attack on Wuqu Academy had been almost completely suppressed due to the country's operations, there were still quite a number of people who could not accept it.

Among them, the residents of Osaka area protested the most strongly.

[Naniwa Star], [Seven-Star Sword King] - Moroboshi Yudai, who is called this, is a well-known young hero in the Osaka area and has an amazing popularity.

However, due to the attack by Akatsuki Academy, Yudai Moroboshi had to give up his right to participate and transfer his place to Sieg. This was the decision of their hero, so the citizens of Osaka would not say much, and the person who replaced him was Sieg who saved Muku Academy.

Therefore, the audience who have come to the scene now are looking forward to Sieg’s performance to be able to truly replace Yudai Moroboshi.

but......

"You directed and acted it yourself, right?"

After recovering from the initial shock, Toudou Touka calmed down and said, "You resorted to such means to participate in the Seven Stars Sword Fighting Festival, Sieg-san."

"Did you get disappointed? Student Council President."

Sieg responded with a smile, and used wind magic to expand his voice to the entire venue.

"It was the country and the branch that refused to let me participate because of what happened last year. In order to achieve my goal, I had to resort to some extreme methods. But I want to make it clear that I did not participate in the attack. I did not harm any of the people from Wu Qu Academy. I was the one who threw them all out of the academy."

"And I have also made an agreement with the Prime Minister that my time as a student of Akatsuki College will only last until the finals. I will compete in the final as a representative of Wuqu College."

Following Zieg's words, a storm of curses broke out again from the audience.

"Are you insulting our Ah Xing?"

"Get off the stage right now! What on earth are the Wu Qu College authorities doing?"

The atmosphere in the venue was beginning to get out of control because of Zieg's talk.

But the two people standing on the stage seemed completely unaffected.

After staring at Sieg through his eyes for a while, Toudou Daohua smiled and said, "Is this what you want to bear, Sieg-san? In order to fulfill the promise we made a year ago, are you willing to bear the infamy even if you are hated and scolded by so many people?"

"Is it related to me?"

Zigg smiled and said, "I don't care about others' praise or curses. I have told you many times, Student Council President. I will only carry out my own will, no matter what means are used."

"Well, I knew you would say that."

Dongtang Daohua closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there were already wisps of lightning around him: "I am willing to believe Mr. Zieg, and believe that you really came here just for the promise. But I'm sorry, only one of us can win today."

"So, I will do my best to defeat you, Sieg-san."

Grasping the hilt of the Iai sword [Narakamiya] that had already materialized before his appearance, Toudou Touka lowered his body and made a preparatory move.

Flames also ignited around Sieg, and a silver sword appeared silently in his hand.

[Look, it looks like both of our contestants are ready! ]

It was not until then that the commentator in the commentary booth finally reacted.

[So - the first round of the Seven Stars Swordsmanship Festival, the first match in Area A! ]

[The match between Toudou Touka and Sieg Fehr! It's about to start! ]

【LET's GO AHEAD——! ! ! ! 】

93. Sieg's [Moon-Breaking Dragon Claw]

The moment the bell for the start of the battle rang, Dongtang Daohua immediately took the initiative to attack first.

“Shhhhhhhh!”

The unique sword-cutting skill: swift wind and thunder.

With this move, she strengthened her body's functions to the highest level. Combined with the strengthening brought by magic power, she crossed the distance of less than a hundred meters between Sieg and her almost instantly!

And the [Murakami] on her waist lit up with dazzling lightning!

[Contestant Dongtang actually used a quick attack right from the start! ]

There were exclamations from the commentary booth.

Although he was already used to explaining people's behavior of being surprised at every turn, Zigg still felt that it was really necessary to explain even such things.

(But, quick attack is really good.)

Toudou Touka's strongest attack is [Raikiri], which even the Seven-Star Sword King doesn't dare to take head-on. However, this move has a fatal flaw, which is that it is to some extent the same as the Explosive Dragon Flash, and can only exert its maximum power within the crossing distance. Once it leaves this range, the power will drop sharply.

Therefore, even though Toudou Touka is a player who can adapt to medium, short and long distances, in order to ensure victory, she will try her best to adopt close combat and decide the outcome with Raikiri - not to mention that her opponent is Sieg, who had defeated her before.

Toudou Touka, who completely understands Sieg with his Flash Eye, may be the person who knows him best in this world.

And precisely because of this understanding, Dongtang Daohua can be sure that any fancy tricks will be ineffective against Qige.

(There is no point in detouring or pulling. If you want to defeat Sieg, you have to defeat him head-on!)

Therefore, Dongtang Daohua will not hold back!

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!”

Lightning gathered in the scabbard of Ming Shen, and finally turned into an impact, shooting out the family heirloom sword like a railgun!

Super electromagnetic sword-drawing technique——【Raikiri】!

“BOOM——————!”

Plasma bursts!

Overwhelming heat poured out as Toudou Daohua drew his sword!

The knife, which was faster than the sound, instantly rolled up an extremely turbulent airflow! The impact caused by the blade being unsheathed caused everything around it to be shattered!

At this moment, all the audience at the scene, or everyone who watched Dongtang Daohua's game last year, realized one thing.

[Raikiri is stronger than last year]

This is not a surprising thing. Generally speaking, before the age of 30, the swordsmen will be in a state of rapid improvement in strength. It is normal for them to become stronger year by year. And Dongtang Daohua is only 18 years old. There is no doubt that she will be stronger this year than last year!

However, the next moment after Raikiri swung his sword—

"Buzz!"

A storm even more terrifying than when Raikiri was unsheathed suddenly exploded with Sieg as the center!

Toudou Touka, who was close at hand, was instantly hit by the storm! The Raikiri that was halfway through was interrupted, and Mingshen was thrown out of his hand. Under the impact of the storm, the whole person was violently shaken to the edge of the field!

Everyone couldn't help but freeze in place.

[Wind, wind!? It's actually wind!? Isn't the power that contestant Sieg registered with the official account fire? How could he show the power of wind at this moment?]

The commentary booth expressed the questions that everyone had in their hearts.

Moreover, a very small number of people immediately thought of one person after seeing this gust of wind——

"【Fierce Wind Sword Emperor】Black Iron Royal Horse."

He is considered to be above Yudai Moroboshi in terms of level, and until last year he was the only A-rank student knight in Japan!

Summoning Ming Shen back to his hand, Toudou Touka stood up again and stared at Sieg standing in the storm: "What a surprise, Sieg-san... I heard that you defeated Wang Ma-san, but I didn't expect that you could even defeat his wind..."

"He is a good example after all."

Ziggy laughed.

"Although I can use wind, I have never been too lazy to use it because of my lack of proficiency. However, with Wang Ma as an excellent example, I have gained some experience. In addition, he has given me some expectations without my permission, so I plan to use some moves other than Explosive Dragon Flash in the next battle."

Sieg raised the silver sword in his hand which had transformed into a large sword.

“——【Broken Moon Sky Dragon Claw】——”

“Buzz————————————!”

The storm is gathering!

The wind in the entire venue instantly turned into a violent tornado that wrapped around the silver sword! And in the next moment, it became a storm blade that was almost indistinguishable from the black iron horse! Even compared to the black iron horse's sword-cutting skills, the storm blade that Sieg was holding high now was even more violent and turbulent!

"I'm on it, Student Council President."

"If you don't want to die, just do as you said - [try your best]."

cut!

“BOOM————————————!!!”

The Storm Sword that destroys everything slashes down with a bang!

————————————————————————

In a hospital in Osaka.

Watching the live broadcast on TV, the man sitting next to a bed - last year's Seven Star Sword King, Moroboshi Yudai - took a piece of the freshly peeled apple and stuffed it into his mouth, then smiled at the person lying on the bed, "It's really scary. That guy can even use your moves, Wang Ma. Did you teach him?"

"......snort."

The man lying on the bed - Fierce Wind Sword Emperor Black Iron King Horse - snorted coldly: "No one taught me, he imitated it himself."

"Then he really is a monster even more weird than you~~~I'm really glad that he didn't use this trick on me in the previous mock battle." Zhu Xingxiong laughed, "Tou Tang should lose, and he should directly secure a place in the finals."

"Of course, he's not the type to lose to a mere group of students."

"How dare you say that~~~!"

Regardless of the fact that Kurogane Ouma was still a wounded soldier, Moroboshi Yudai punched his chest unhappily, and the latter just glared at him coldly: "Is this why you come here to talk nonsense to me?"

"If I could, I would like to avenge you, but looking at your condition, there is no point in teaching a wounded soldier a lesson. Let's wait until you recover from your illness."

"Besides, we are both defeated by that guy now. We are two losers licking each other's wounds."

Moroboshi Yudai shrugged.

His words also made Kurogane Ouma look at him straight in the eye for the first time: "Is that so... did he tell you?"

"Yeah, that guy is an interesting one. Although I can see that he didn't tell me everything, at least he should have told me his own purpose." Zhu Xingyu stared at the figure on the live TV, "That's why I gave my place to him."

"I'm sorry, everyone, but I'm very impressed by that guy Zieg."

For those who don't know the inside story, Moroboshi Yudai acknowledged Sieg's strength after a sparring match with him, and he had no choice but to give up the right to participate in the competition in order to take care of the teachers and students of Wu Qu Academy.

But only Moroboshi Yudai knows that in the mock battle that only he and Sieg knew about, Sieg told him everything he could, frankly admitted the meanness of his behavior, and told him his purpose. And Moroboshi Yudai also gambled his right to participate in a full-scale battle with Sieg on the basis of understanding everything, but was defeated in the end.

"It may be strange for me to say this, but... I can say that no one can compare to him in this year's Seven Stars Sword Festival."

"He is undoubtedly the strongest in our class."

94. But I won’t lose!

No one could have imagined that such a dramatic turn of events would occur at the much-anticipated opening ceremony.

First, Sieg publicly announced his identity as a student of Akatsuki Academy. Later, compared with the stronger Toudou Touka last year, he even displayed the same sword-cutting skills as the [Fierce Wind Sword Emperor] who gave up the competition!
