After Me, Oda and Rin visited Shira in the treatment room to confirm her condition, then we went back up on the bench to watch the match while waiting for our turn.
Not wanting to miss to watch the match in progress, we quickly rushed to get on the bench.
And when we were on the bench, I, Oda and Rin immediately watched the game.
"THEY!!!"
Just now we saw the game, but the bell sign of the end of the game was ringing.
The Hisobu teacher raised the hand of a student while announcing the result of a match that had just been won by a man with his sword and shield.
"Gosh, just now I wanted to watch this match" Oda said a little annoyed.
"Calm down, there are still a lot of matches that we will see" I said trying to cheer Oda up.
The time lag between one game to the next is about 15 minutes.
Shortly thereafter, Hisobu's teacher announced his return about the next participants to compete.
"The next "match is 9th and 10th! To the student who gets the sequence number, please be prepared and enter the arena."
"Eh ? Number 9 sequence ? That means now it's your turn to fight, Rin."
I was a little surprised by the announcement and just asked Rin to confirm it.
"Yes, you were right. Now it is my turn to fight" Rin replied excitedly.
"Alright, then I should get ready soon." Continue as he hurried away.
After learning that his turn to compete on the arena had arrived, Rin immediately rushed away from the audience bench and went down to the preparation room.
"Excite, Rin!" I said give spirit to Rin.
"Don't lose!" continued Oda who also gave spirit.
Rin, who was running, just waved her hand at us, as if to tell us that she would be fine.
After the two participants had finished their preparations for quite a long time, they finally came out from both sides of the opposite arena.
Rin, who was graciously using a bow in her right hand and a few arrows on her back, walked out from the left side of the arena.
"Seeing from a distance I can still see your cute face, but somehow it feels the same as when you're angry"
Rin with a very serious and confident face at that time looked so cute, it makes me feel proud but also a little tingling when at first glance I remember the same look on Rin's face when she was angry.
But I was very surprised to find out who a student who became Rin's opponent.
From the right side of the arena, walked out a white-haired male disciple who looked extremely formidable with the samurai in his left hand.
Unlike previous matches between female students who competed with other female students,
while in this match Rin who has to face a male student.
"Ooy... What the fuck is this ? Why is Rin's opponent a man ? This is not fair" said Oda who felt astonished and also upset.
Immediately I ran down to the arena to meet Hisobu's teacher.
"Hey Yuuta ! Where are you going ?" asked Oda who then immediately chased after me.
"I want to go to Hisobu's teacher to ask him this" I replied with annoyance.
The moment when Hisobu teacher wanted to start the match, I immediately just asked Hisobu teacher to stop him.
"Wait!" I said loudly from the side of the arena.
Everyone there was shocked when they saw me who had suddenly entered the arena and stopped the match.
The students who were on the bleachers began to wonder what and who was in the arena.
"Yuta ?"
Rin turned towards me who was emerging from behind her and was followed by Oda who was chasing me.
I walked quickly and through Rin just like that, I immediately approached Hisobu teacher who was in the middle of the arena.
"Yuta ? What's up ?" ask Hisobu's teacher who feels astonished.
"Teacher, what does this mean ? Why do you allow a female student to compete against a male student ?"
With a feeling of annoyance, I asked Hisobu's teacher for an explanation about the match that was about to start.
"True teacher, isn't this unfair ?" continued Oda.
Haven't had time for Hisobu teacher to give an answer, the boisterous voice of the cheers of the students sounded very crowded.
"Hey! What are you guys doing there ? Get out of the arena!" said one of the male students who shouted loudly from the audience bench.
While I just kept quiet and ignored the boisterous voice, I kept staring at Hisobu teacher while waiting for an answer from him.
"Everything! Please calm!" said Hisobu teacher loudly, telling all students to calm down.
Soon the boisterous sounds of the disciples began to disappear and things began to calm down again.
"Listen to me Yuuta, I don't let this happen just like that. Before starting the game, you are asked to take a paper containing a number. In addition to determining the order of each student, the number is also to determine the opponent randomly whatever the result. Because at the time of the actual fight out there,
we cannot choose the opponent we will face" said teacher Hisobu a little explained about the reason for letting it happen.
"But the teacher, allowing a female student to fight a male student at the time of her first match practice..?" asked Oda who was not satisfied with the explanation from Hisobu teacher.
"It's not fair, but it's one way to train you to be out there ready to face enemies and unexpected conditions. In addition, it is also for you to learn about the advantages and disadvantages in yourself. In order for you to know whether your situation is superior to the enemy you are facing or rather you must retreat and leave" explained Hisobu teacher succinctly.
I only lowered my gaze after hearing the explanation from the Hisobu teacher, I began to understand a little about the purpose of the match practice that was done.
But even so, still my heart is very difficult to accept it.
I couldn't see Rin competing against a man who was clearly much stronger than her.
Plus I found out who the male student who was competing against Rin at that time, he was Shin Bareyv.
