“Thank you.”
Back in the waiting room, Ming Hu sat down, listening to the guide, and then turned his head to the left.
Three seats in a row were vacated by the defeated Baron Saffron and the two nobles who were now dueling.
Sigh
Ming Hu turned his head again to look out over the arena, and saw Count Yakuran preparing to duel, and thought.
“See you in the quarterfinals?
He said, “I’ll see you in the quarterfinals,” as if it were a given. It wasn’t the usual confidence, which didn’t really bother me, I just wondered what level of skill he had to be so confident.
“The sixth duel to determine the quarterfinalists, beginning now!”
The knight in charge shouted and sped down the arena, while Count Yakuran charged at the opposing noble.
“…Huh?”
The Count of Yakuran charged at the other noble, and with a swipe of his sword, he knocked the other noble’s sword away, sending it flying.
Of course, it wasn’t the flying sword that startled Ming Hu. Count Yakuran had immediately reached out and grabbed the other nobleman after the blow. Ming Hu hadn’t expected this at all.
“Hmmmm!”
With a roar, Count Yakuran tossed his captured noble to the ground. Was it the suddenness of the situation? Or was it the overwhelming difference in strength? The other noble flew out of the arena, unable to resist.
“Huh.
It was the same method. Ming Hu couldn’t help but chuckle as he watched Count Yakuran defeat the other nobleman in the exact same way he had.
