199 – goosebumps (3)
─···Game over!
The second and final match of the semifinals, Theo and Ragmar’s match, is over.
The winner was Theo.
Certainly cheers would erupt, but the audience was quiet. He just stared back and forth at Theo, covered in his own blood, and Ragmar, who had fallen on the floor but was struggling to get up.
It was the host who broke the quiet atmosphere.
─Eh, Ellinia Academy Festival [Martial Arts Tournament]······ The winner of the final match of the semifinals is Theo Lin Balderk! It was such a fierce match that there was no sound stadium floor!
Saying that, the host secretly noticed Theo. Now, the only match left is the final, and since there is plenty of time, it is to do a victory interview.
“·······.”
But even from the host’s point of view, Theo didn’t look like he was ready for an interview.
He just stood there like a living corpse.
─Suck.
Staring at Theo’s bloody eyes, the host held his breath.
The presenter smiled shyly and said.
─Ahahahahaha, please give applause to Theo-kun and Ragmar-kun for their wonderful matches~! Alas, this is the information I just received from the organizers, and they say that it will take about 10 minutes to restore the stadium. That means the final match starts in 20 minutes!
Only then did the audience start clap clap clap clap clap.
“·······.”
Theo took a quick glance at Amy, who was sitting in the audience, then slowly turned his back and walked out of the arena.

Returning to the waiting room, I immediately lay down on the bench.
At the same time, the senses throughout the body stop working.
Thanks to the [Twisted Dignity of Nobles], I managed to walk all the way to the waiting room.
“After.”
Blood and sweat ran down his face and soaked his clothes, but he had no time to care.
Just neglecting it, the [Twisted Nobleman’s Dignity] Shuddered – constantly tormenting me.
But I didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger.
“Gyeol, Seungeun… It must be difficult.”
The words I spit out, but I can’t hear them well.
Hearing seems to have almost stopped working.
Is it worth it?
In the second half of the match against Ragmar, what I understood from the host’s words was ‘End’ and ’10 seconds’.
Because there were only two words.
“But, I’m so sorry.”
Similarly, he stammered out through his mouth, which seemed to have stopped working.
Since I was young, the values that I have thought of as absolute good are ‘action’ and ‘result’.
It is a firm conviction that has not changed even after being possessed.
······I can still move more.
“······That, rae. Yes, Yaman, I do.”
However, unlike the will, the body hardly moves.
I applied strength to my whole body, only moving my fingers a little.
“Kkeu, kkeuk.”
Even though I only moved my finger, it hurts so much.
Calling Taylor is ambiguous. The final game is less than 20 minutes away, and it will take another 20 minutes to get there.
······Should I use my last strength to open the cap of the imitation elixir I brought with me?
I kept thinking about that, but I endured it because it didn’t seem possible.
When will the Imitation Elixir be available again? No, it is an item that is questionable whether it can be obtained again in the future.
From noble mtl dot com
「Demon Hunter」 It is a valuable item that even Maximin can not be sure of.
This is just in case you don’t know.
For example, you might want to use it when your life is being threatened by an enemy.
Then.
─Ki-ing, gong.
I heard the familiar dog’s voice in my ears.
Now that your hearing has almost stopped working, you’re saying you’re close enough to hear it.
“Shut it up.”
It seems so. I feel a heavy weight on my chest.
Fortunately, it seems that Amy understood the sign from the arena to bring her knuckles.
I stammered.
“Ah, me. When the finals begin, wake me up, come. Obviously, I said.”
Having said that, I immediately closed my eyes.

“······· Kkeu, kkeuk.
Feeling someone shaking me, I slowly opened my eyes.
I can see the ceiling of the player’s dressing room, which I saw last before going to sleep.
“Kuh.”
I feel a stabbing pain all over my body.
Arms, legs, waist, back, chest, neck, stomach, etc… There was no pain anywhere. It felt like my whole body was constantly being stabbed with a large needle.
Still, it seems that my senses have returned to some extent.
I can feel the fist teeth constantly clapping at my cheeks.
Still keeping my eyes fixed on the ceiling, I spoke to Amy, who was nearby.
“How long have I slept?”
“·······About 18 minutes. The final game will start soon, boy.”
“I see. Did you use any medicine or something?”
Used [Overload] For at least 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
If the master came, it would be normal to sleep without waking up for three days and nights, but Amy’s bracken hand wakes her up enough to wake her up.
But I don’t think he used items like [Elixir of Fatigue Recovery] Or [Imitation Elixir].
Amy’s voice is heard.
“It’s hard to call it medicine, but I gave the blood-reducing potion to the sleeping boy.”
“······ Fatigue Relief? Shut up.”
I raised my upper body and looked at the empty bottle lying in front of me.
Fatigue Relief [Grade: Normal]
: When taken, it slightly accelerates the body’s recovery from fatigue.
However, depending on the individual, it may not be effective.
······Hmm, it’s definitely the same one we ate before.
At that time, it would have been less effective than Vita 500… It still hurts like crazy, but it definitely works.
Before long, I found out why.
Thanks to Amy’s words.
“First of all, I entered the boy’s room without permission. I apologize.”
“What do you mean?”
Amy raised my right hand and showed it to me.
The [Commemorative Ring of the Duke of Chalon] Was on the ring finger of her right hand.
The reason why the fatigue of the body was at least recovered was thanks to the effect of the ring. In addition to that, the special effect of Fatigue Relief and Fatigue that promotes fatigue recovery was added.
Amy bowed her head to me.
“I knew the effect of this ring because I had heard about it. When calling, I brought it from the Bocchan’s room just in case.”
······Well, it doesn’t matter.
Amy didn’t come into my room to steal something.
Since this ring is from the Shalonga, its effects are widely known.
The effect of this ring, which is more famous than fatigue recovery, is that ‘when equipped, it belongs to the first wearer’.
There’s no way Amy didn’t know this.
“It’s done. Raise me up.”
“Okay.”
“······························································································································································ Another another
As soon as Amy’s touch touches her body, intense pain rises.
Amy’s eyes widened, then calmly narrowed.
“···························. I think it would be best for you to forfeit the final.”
“·······.”
“If you have done this, everyone will know that you did enough. Second place isn’t bad either.”
“I have to go.”
Second place isn’t bad either.
I admit it. Actually be right
In this [Martial Arts Contest] Where countless talents participated, it would be good to say that a discarded student from the Faculty of Bravery won 2nd place.
But, regardless of win or loss, the fact that I am abstaining doesn’t look good, and it’s not good for my spirit.
Yes, spirit.
In particular, the mind is a problem.
Among the crabs, the one called ‘Spirit Victory’ has excellent learning abilities.
There are more than three years left before I graduate from the academy.
All sorts of hardships will attack me in the future, but if I give up without even fighting because I am not feeling well right now.
Can my unstable mind endure even now?
Did you know well before possessing that a normal person turns into a disabled person and becomes full in 3 months?
I can never answer that I’m not as weak as that guy.
They were much healthier physically and mentally than I was.
······I have to go.
Even in order to prove to the body and brain that “I don’t succumb to those intracerebral delusions.”
“Please support me only to the back of the stadium.”
“I understand, young boy.”
Amy, who nodded reluctantly, supported me.
It was still very painful, but I no longer made a sound.

The finals of the martial arts competition are about to begin.
The host brilliantly introduced Theo and Irene.
People cheered, but not as cheered as the officials expected.
That’s also true, because Theo’s condition on the stage was not good for anyone to see.
The audience whispered.
“Theo seems like a miracle to be standing there. Can you see it?”
“Tell me what are you doing? Did you see him when he left the game? Every time I walked, my legs trembled.”
“Irene is a winner. But the opponent is a sickly fiancé, and even the final! Kya~ It’s delicious, it’s delicious.”
“What is delicious?”
“Ugh, read and live. You are so out of fashion.”
“A person to bet on win or lose.”
“Bet on something.”
“Evening scam for the rest of the semester. I’ll bet Irene wins.”
“Crazy bastard. Are you just asking for money?”
“Give me the money.”
“I hate it.”
“·······.”
Claire was looking down over the arena, her ears pricked up.
She has just arrived at the arena to investigate Theo by order of her saintess.
