“What Can You Balance Ku?”

If one were to ask who was the most powerful in the academy, a year ago, the answer would have been Iris Midgar.

But after he graduated, the position of the academy's ruler became vacant.

Or so everyone's mind.

But the next ruler appeared suddenly.

In an unexpected way, someone unexpectedly came to rule over the entire Midgar Magic Swordsman Academy from above as an absolute ruler.

Her name is Rose Oriana.

She is an exchange student from the Kingdom of Oriana, ‘State Seni’. She is also the daughter of Raffaello Oriana, King of the country.

The Kingdom of Oriana was allied with the Midgar Kingdom, and her studies abroad had been planned for a long time. But it was just that no one had ever imagined a princess from an art state to be the top ruler in the Midgar Magic Swordsman Academy.

Well, to be honest, whether it was expected or not it had nothing to do with me.

The problem is that my opponent for the first round of the Senbatsu Tournament is that Rose Oriana.

Of course there is an option to back off.

Hyoro is still bedridden after ‘talk’ with that senior.

Jaga is under house arrest after being caught breaking into a female dormitory.

In other words, there was nothing stopping me from finding excuses not to participate in the tournament.

But when I thought about it further, I realized one thing: losing to the absolute ruler of the school, wasn't it really like a mob?

Yeah, it must be like a mob!

Eliminate the thought of retreating!

As a mob, I have a duty to show the world how the mob loses in a mob-like way.

And so, here I am, drawing out my sword in front of many spectators.

Standing in front of me was Rose Oriana.

With a roll of elegant honey-colored hair, his fashionable combat attire, and his thin sword.

She had a gentle face, and first-class style, and was also very beautiful.

As expected of the state of the art.

Furthermore, in addition to being an exchange student and second year, he is also the current President of the Student Council.

Due to his appearance, strength, and popularity, the cheers in the venue had reached an incredible level.

No one is shouting my name.

A small part of me thinks “support your home country!” But yeah, whatever.

This is exactly the stage for the mob.

That's the best.

My sword is clinking fast.

Have I ever been nervous in a battle?

What is asked here is not a simple ending where victory, murder, and even dust evaporate into clouds.

What is asked here is a defeat like my car.

What does it mean to be like a Mob?

This question moves into the realm of philosophy.

But no need to worry.

For the sake of today, I have perfected the Four-Ten-Eight Mob-Style Secret Technique. “

“Rose Oriana against Sid Kagenou !!”

The referee announced our names.

Rose's icy blue eyes and my mob-like eyes meet and sparks appear.

Oh, Rose Oriana's.

Can you keep up with me?

In the battle against .. a mob who has reached the highest limit!

“Start!”

As soon as the fight started, Rose's thin sword danced.

It was like a sharp and beautiful bow that went straight to my chest.

A normal Mob would not even be able to see this attack.

I can see it.

I can, but .. I choose not to react.

I don't have to show the slightest reaction.

Wh why? Because I am a mob.

I won't move until the moment the sword hits my chest.

The swords used in this tournament were blunt, but receiving a direct hit would still cause quite significant injuries.

His thin sword pierced my chest.

At that time, I acted.

Without showing any signs of moving, I leapt back with just the strength of my toes, and combined the power of his sword thrust to add a spin to my leap.

Next, I quietly took out a packet of blood that I collected yesterday, and broke it.

All of this happened in less than an instant split.

I was bouncing backwards by circling around while spraying blood like a fountain.



“PegyoOOEEEEeeeeeeee !!”

A blood red tinge painted a beautiful picture in the air.

Mob-Style Secret Technique: ‘Tailspin Bloody Tornado’

Then I hit the ground, bounced once, then rolled over the ground.

“Gu, guhah, voeeeeeeee!”

Then I broke another pack of blood and pretended to spit out its contents.

IT'S PERFECT!

Everyone in the place believed in my acting. No one doubted it.

I felt a strong urge to smile broadly at my full-scoring performance, but I suppressed it.

It's not over yet.

“Gegeh, gehoOOooOOOOOOOO !!”

I spent another 10 seconds pretending to struggle to stand up as I neared death.

Indeed ... There are still 47 techniques left in the Mob-Style Secret Technique!

Why, how did he stand back?

Rose Oriana quivered at the boy who continued to stand up again and again no matter how many times he fell.

He was covered in blood from head to toe, and seemed to doubt if he could even swing his sword properly again.

He has no form to fight. Or rather, the fact that he could still stand was already a miracle.

Rose's sword might be thin, but that doesn't mean it's light. Although the blade was blunt, the magic residing within it was real.

It was entirely possible to render one incapable of further combat with just a single strike.

Yet.

How many times has this boy received his attacks?

Not just once or twice.

Despite having been bathed by his attacks for more than 10 times, he still stood back with an indomitable fighting will.

Why is he so persistent?

Even though his physical body must have exceeded its limits, his eyes still had not given up.

They clearly told him that there was still a lot he wanted to do.

Rose was very impressed with her character.

Exactly how much emotion did this brat bring when he stepped onto this stage?

He had a reason why he really shouldn't lose.

No one compared the difference in strength between Rose and him. There was not a single one in a million chance of him winning.

Regardless, he did not give up.

His burning eyes looked at Rose.

It's not done yet.

It's not over, with just a little of this.

Rose could only sigh in awe as she watched him transcend the confines of her body through his powerful will, continuously challenging opponents that he could never win.

In Rose's heart was a deep respect for this boy, Sid Kagenou, but also a deep apology to him.

At first, he looked down on her, deeming her an easy opponent that he can quickly defeat.

Indeed, it might be true that in a fight with just sword mastery, he would not last even a second against it.

However, in this – heart fight is Rose's total defeat.

“The next one will be the end.”

That was why Rose decided to end this quickly.

If this continued, he would probably continue to stand until he was completely dead.

He didn't want to kill a boy like this.

The cheers in the arena had stopped some time ago.

Everyone shakes by him.

Rose put more magic into her sword than she had put out today.

The air shook, and the audience buzzed.

However, even so.

“As I thought – You still haven't given up.”

His eyes were burning with a burning fire.

There was not the slightest fear of the impending attack. There was only a large amount of fighting desire in his eyes.

In that case, then he had no choice but to exert all of his abilities.

Rose's sword started to tremble, but at that moment.

“STOP!! STOP, THIS MATCH IS OVER!”

The referee interjected and declared the match to be over. It was because he decided that it would be dangerous if he let things go further.

Rose breathed a sigh of relief.

However, it was the opposite for the boy.

“What! But I still have thirty-three more .. ”

His eyes still told him that he could still fight.

“Winner, ROSE ORIANA !!”

A standing ovation fell on Rose.

Rose shook her hand in response, then bowed deeply to the wavering Sid Kagenou.
