I Am No King's

Chapter 18: Lugalgin vs. Eliot

As of last week's notice, Author uses the word “arrowhead” for “mata darts”. Anyway, happy reading.

======================================

Drrrngggggg

The minigun sound did not stop. I kept firing at Eliot, but he moved very fast, dodging the bullets. He must have used the restraint on the armor on the body to increase speed, just like Jeanne.

Once the minigun bullets I took off were able to catch up to Eliot's movements, the fifteen arrowheads would form a layered shield. He did not dispel the bullets that came frontally. The arrowhead is tilted, changing the path of the bullet. Although it was only for a moment, he used that moment to attack.

As soon as he approached, I used the shield mounted on the minigun to withstand his attack. Just then, I used my left hand to pull the gun hanging from my waist, firing a shot at Eliot.

Eliot backed off when I opened fire. At that moment, I immediately moved.

"Bas a coward!"

"Don't just use projectiles. Fight Eliot manly if you dare!"

Scornful sounds began to emerge from the side.

Hey, he's using a projectile, too. Why am I the only one being scorned? Well, I don't care either.

On the other hand, the side of the hall was already filled with students watching. This happened because Bastion insisted that the fight between me and Eliot could be watched by all students. In addition to this hall, the fight was also broadcast to the entire school through scattered monitors.

On the side of the hall, other than the spectators, there were also some students using controlling power to create a protective layer, preventing my and Eliot's attacks from coming out and injuring the audience. They control the silver powder that is spread in the air. Then, in the silver powder was electrified. With this combination, they create an invisible wall.

I continued my shooting.

Now Eliot just moves to and fro, dodging the attack. It seems he's waiting for this minigun bullet to run out. And his guess was right, not long after, this minigun had run out of bullets.

With a button on top of the minigun, the bag on my back automatically detached. I dropped this minigun along with the bag on my back.

Ahh, my body really felt light after I took off this minigun and bullet bag.

Eliot didn't waste this opportunity. He immediately lunged and slashed the sword. Quickly, I took both of my pistols and held Eliot's sword with a bayonet.

By slightly changing the angle of the gun, I opened fire on Eliot. He also backtracked.

Alright, as far as I've observed, he has very high stamina. He had already moved that much but there were no signs of being out of breath. He only used the arrowhead as a defense, not attacking.

When the tempo of my attack slowed, or stopped, Eliot cut the distance between us and attacked. After the flop, he will step back and repeat the same pattern.

Come on, what kind of fight is this? Game boss?

Finally my gun bayonet and Eliot's sword meet again.

I tried something different. This time, I did not hold back Eliot's sword, but repelled it and attacked with a bayonet.

We exchanged attacks. However, not a single strike managed to land. Eliot and I both managed to fend off or evade the opponent's attack.

"I want to ask."

Huh huh? Now either? When we throw each other attacks? Well, fine.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Are you really not planning on being serious?"

"You know, eavesdropping is a bad habit. But, yes, I don't plan on being serious."

"And why is that?"

"I'm sorry, but I have no obligation to answer you. But, I want to ask you a question as well," now it's my turn. "You know what happened at the orphanage under Charisma?"

"Huhuhuhu, I have no obligation to answer you right?"

I'm assuming he knows.

"Why are you still the regal knight?"

"As I said, I don't have—"

I opened fire and Eliot backed off.

I don't need to extend it anymore. Indeed, I did not give an answer to her second question. However, I answered his first question, right? He should have answered at least one of my questions. Well, I really don't expect anything.

Okay, back to the fight. If in the middle of the fight there is a pause, either for dialogue or pausing, usually he will change the attack pattern. Yeah, that's if I use a game analogy anyway.

And I was right. Hahaha, what a fool it feels.

In a short period of time, the arrowheads he controlled increased. No, not growing, but separating. Now the number is three times more than before. It seemed, each of the arrowheads he used was composed of three different arrowheads.

All the arrowheads are made of special materials that are not capable of being destroyed by miniguns, especially with the 9 mm caliber pistol that I now hold. I need another type of bullet.

I removed the magazine in the gun and replaced it with another magazine in the waist.

Bzzt

Eh? What is that sound? The voice was not too far away, even I could hear it quite clearly.

I looked back, at the source of the sound. At a glance, I saw a small static electricity in the air. Not far from the static electricity, seen a schoolgirl holding an amulet. She was one of eight schoolgirls in charge of making the protective layer.

"Tung—"

"Forward, my cavalry!"

I didn't have time to shout wait, Eliot was already moving first.

Eliot directs the hand forward, signaling all the arrowheads to lunge.

Actually, if I wanted to, I could have jumped to the side. However, I'm sure, even if I jump to the side, all those arrowheads will follow me. And again, right now, I can't avoid. If the path turns too far, and I dodge, it will be very dangerous.

I turned around and ran to the back, stopping right in front of the student.

"Eh?"

The student was shocked, but I didn't have time to respond.

CQC gun.

Dor dor dor dor dor dor dor dor dor

With both hands, I swung both guns quickly at all the arrowheads. I fired multiple shots at the arrowhead coming from the front, side, and top.

CQC pistol I learned on the black market. CQC pistol is a martial art that uses a gun to knock out a large number of opponents and come from various directions.

The user of the CQC pistol is stationary in place, the foot is not moving while the other limb is moving. This movement can only be used if all the opponents are advancing, no one is shooting from a distance.

Both of my pistols have magazines that have been codified so that one magazine can hold 30 bullets. These two pistols include 60 bullets, Eliot has 45 arrowheads. If the count is simple, I excel, but of course it is not that easy.

Some shots missed. I ran out of bullets before taking out all the arrowheads. Nearly 20 arrowheads escaped.

I fended off the arrowhead that came with the bayonet at the end of the gun. Some bounced when I held it with a shield on the shoulder. Some are able to scratch my body, reducing HP.

Eh? Wait, I feel the pain? Nope. Not the pain. More precisely, I felt scratched. Yeah, my right cheek is scratched. Is the amulet I wear also defective?

My guess is correct, one arrowhead has fallen on the floor despite not receiving my shot. That Arrowhead must have been out of control because of my blood.

I'm moving fast. I changed the gun magazine and opened fire on all the rotating arrowheads, away from me, and who fell on the floor but I haven't shot yet.

As soon as all the arrowheads were over, I fired the remaining bullets in the magazine at Eliot. He's moving very fast. With both of his swords, he was able to repel all the bullets I took off.

His instincts and movements were completely inhumane. Just like Zage, he can match weapons with bullets.

But that's exactly what I was expecting.

"What's this?"

Eliot was surprised to see that his sword was black.

The bullet I used was no ordinary bullet. This bullet is a special bullet that will break and stick to the object it hit. And, the weight of this bullet is much greater than that of ordinary metal. In fact, if people had never used it, they would not be able to withstand the weight of a gun that used this bullet.

All of this happened in less than 10 seconds, so I'm sure he himself just realized that he can't control the arrowhead.

I lunged at Eliot.

Eliot greeted me with his sword. We exchanged attacks, again. And as before, we were both able to repel or evade the opponent's attacks. Eliot's movements were slower as the weight of his sword increased, but the power of his slash was greater.

He raised his sword high and slashed down. I held him with a shoulder shield. His slash was really strong and heavy. He made me kneel before him, literally.

"This fight is over."

I concur.

I threw my gun in Eliot's face. He reflexively retreated his head, dodging my gun. Right then, I grabbed Eliot's leg and pulled him.

Eliot, who was trying to avoid the gun, did not have a good balance. In addition, near his feet, many bullets I had just spewed from the minigun worsened his balance. There's a reason why I keep shooting and switching places using miniguns.

As soon as I pulled his leg, he fell to the floor.

Still kneeling, I fired a few shots from my left shoulder shield.

Dor dor dor dor dor

"Winner, Lugalgin."

Principal and waitress Jeanne announced the results of the match. On the other hand, Bastion was not willing to say it.

After I won, a lot of scorn was heard. As usual, they thought my fighting was dirty. However, behind all the scorn, I heard some cheers. It seems that not all the students in this school hate me. 

Before, I had to make sure of one thing. I stood up and pointed my shield to a point. To the place where I fended off all the arrowheads.

"Eh?"

Everyone is surprised.

I raised my hand and fired a shot from the shoulder shield.

Bbzzzttttttttt

As soon as the bullet I took off hit the protective wall, a static electric sound rang out. That static electricity spread out and eventually disappeared.

"I, here..."

The headmaster was shocked after seeing the sight.

I walked towards the student who was holding the amulet behind me.

The student stepped back, frightened by my figure.

"God..."

He almost screamed when I stuck out my hand.

I didn't touch her. I just picked up the amulet he was holding. The amulet he was holding had a circular green stone with six-star ornaments. On the stone, I saw a crack. These cracks are not very visible because of the bright color of the stone. If the color of this stone is dark, surely this crack is clearly visible.

I also took off the amulet I put on my chest. Unlike the amulet held by this student, there were no cracks or defects in the amulet I used.

"Lugalgin, what's wrong?"

Jeanne asked me a question.

In a short time, Jeanne, the Emir, and Ufia came.

"Jeanne, do all the knight schools always get the best facilities from the Kingdom?"

"Yes, right, the Kingdom always makes sure the knight school gets the best facilities."

"Then, how do you explain this?"

I gave the amulet I had just taken from the student to Jeanne. Jeanne accepted it and looked carefully at it.

"The energy stone on this amulet is cracked?"

It seemed that the Emir's eyes were more attentive than Jeanne's, or she was quicker to voice her opinion.

An energy stone is a stone used to increase accuracy and control strength. The user, who was this student, used the energy stone to control the silver dust that became the wall.

Dust control is very difficult because the size of the material is too small. Therefore, this energy stone was needed. Before you ask, the electricity is part of controlling this silver. So, the electricity is also generated by the control ability of these students.

With the cracking of the energy stones used, directly, the effect would decrease as well. If one of Eliot's arrowheads hits him, like I just did, his protector will be destroyed.

"So, the reason you retreated to this point was because you were protecting this student?"

"Honestly, I guess you're retreating because you don't want to face an attack from behind."

While Jeanne gave a positive opinion, the Emir gave a completely pure opinion regarding combat tactics.

"To notice such a small thing, I'm really amazed." The principal came. "If you had chosen to dodge earlier, I'm sure this student would have been hurt by Mr. Eliot's attack. I'm really grateful."

"No need. It's also my fault for suppressing this protective force with a minigun."

Yes, if I don't use a minigun and hit this protective wall many times, maybe this defensive wall still has great strength. I'm lucky this wall didn't break when I used the minigun.

"Gin, man,"

Suddenly the Emir put his hand on my face.

"Your cheek" the Emir whispered.

"Yes, I know," I replied to the Emir in a whisper as well.

The Emir noticed a scratch on my cheek and rubbed it with his hands. Although he knew he would lose control when he came into contact with my body and blood, he did not hesitate.

From the pain, it should have been just a small, very small wound. But still, if there was blood on my face, someone else would question the amulet I used. And if there's no damage, they'll question me.

I had to ask for one amulet to research before accepting another challenge like this.

Without anyone noticing, Charisma, Eliot, and his servants left the hall.

Jeanne looked at me

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he keeps his word."

"Thank you."

"Tu, sir...."

The egg?

Suddenly, a strange voice appeared. I looked back, at the student I was protecting.

This student has brown hair that is commonly found like me. His hair was short, probably on his shoulders, but he was stripping his back. Only the hair next to his eyes dropped down. He has dark brown eyes. Really a generic feature, just like me.

For a knight student, I thought she was a wild woman like the Emir. However, no. I can feel the softness of his words.

"Call me brother. I just graduated High School this year."

"Ba, good." The student nodded. "Thank you for protecting me, brother. It turns out that big brother is good even though the way of fighting big brother is not manly."

Fy. Is that a compliment or a insult?

Seriate
