217 – …You won?
How many people gathered to watch the game?
The very fact of the birth of a hero. And the results of who becomes the hero. It is natural to have expectations, but it is the psychology of the audience to want to observe the entire process.
A refreshing match had just unfolded in front of the audience who were sitting with such thoughts in mind, so it was natural for everyone to cheer.
“Plan…. “It’s flan, right?”
“I deserved an invitation.”
One of the factors that had a significant impact on Plan’s upward trend was the fact that it had ‘never once broken down.’
But just now, as if showing off, it didn’t break down and went even higher, so it was only natural that the audience cheered and shouted like this.
Becky scratched her cheek in embarrassment.
“The shouting is amazing. It wasn’t even just Flann’s game that took place. The game is taking place in other stadiums as well….”
As the girl said, in the stadium, which was divided like a chessboard, those who did not receive an invitation were clashing with each other.
Of course, there were few people who paid attention to it.
No, it wasn’t strange to see that it wasn’t there.
The cause is, of course, flan.
Is it because he kept the rumor that he will never be defeated and won with a single blow? Everyone here was paying passionate attention to Plan.
The audience whispered.
“Well, isn’t that the fade of the fallen guy?”
“Fade? That’s right! There were so many scars that I couldn’t recognize them…. “It was a fade!”
“He is well-known in the West. But since I was treated like a show off by Flan….”
“Flan is not famous for nothing.”
This is a place where people gain fame by exploiting each other’s fame. Some say it is cruel, others say it is natural, but this was reality.
“Flan! Plan!”
“Just one more game!”
This great interest and cheers could have been responded to at least once, but Plan quietly disappeared into the waiting room.
Representatives of the Faculty of Magic also stood up immediately. The intention was to go to the waiting room and greet Plan.
It was a waiting room that prided itself on being well-soundproofed, but even after entering, I could hear voices chanting Plan.
Tak─.
When Flan snapped his fingers, the sound coming from outside was cut off at once. Finally, I achieved perfect soundproofing.
“Ah, Plan. This.”
Maiev fidgeted with his hand and took out a handkerchief from his bosom. He tried to wipe Flan’s face himself, but he paused and timidly handed it over.

Flan quietly accepted it.
Maiev muttered.
“Congratulations very much, Plan. And you worked hard.”
“I just cleaned up a small piece.”
Faced with Plan’s calm and weak attitude, the representatives had their own feelings. As I listened over my shoulder to the crowd’s whispers, I noticed that the opponent was not weak, but wasn’t the game decided by a single attack?
In terms of time, it is only 3 seconds.
In terms of number of times, only once.
This is the time and number of times Plan used to steal the attention of all the people filling the stadium.
Is it easy?
It was never like that. As the attack continued, there were some ugly people who revealed their true nature, and there were also people who lowered interest, but Plan was not bound by such things.
Rattling. Rattling.
The teaspoon occasionally clinked against the glass, making a soothing sound. Maiev suddenly started brewing her coffee.
“We must do better too.”
Maiev muttered.
“Huh?”
The aroma of the coffee was not particularly good. Becky, who had been staring blankly at the melting sugar cube, raised her head.
“The attention focused on Mr. Plan will naturally lead to interest in the representatives of the magic department. “Isn’t that right?”
Everyone seemed to be thinking a lot about Maiev’s words.
Suddenly─.
Lewis opens the door to the waiting room once and then closes it again. The look on his face as he closed the door was quite shocking. It doesn’t look good, and it doesn’t look bad either.
“Ahahahaha…. That’s right. There are a lot of eyes directed to this waiting room. No, it’s safe to say that it’s almost everything.”
Trixie clicked her tongue loudly.
“Of course. You didn’t just hear the results of the game. “I saw with her own eyes just how great Flan was.”
“Right? “The standards for us will also become stricter.”
Lewis nodded his head and looked at Flan again.
“Flan, work hard in the next game as well. “I will support you.”
If all goes according to schedule, Flan will have to deal with about three more people who did not receive invitations today. However, Flan slowly shook his head at Lewis’ words.
“There is no longer a need for that.”
“Huh? Why?”
“It’s because I changed the lineup.”
“Is it possible to change the lineup at will…? ?”
Instead of answering, Flann mentally brought up the match-up table.
“….”
The eyes of the representatives naturally turn there.
“… !”
And the next moment, everyone’s eyes widen.
Plan changed the match he was supposed to participate in so that other representatives of the Faculty of Magic participated. In other words, he now had to deal directly with participants who had not received an invitation.
“Flan?”
“Flan!”
The delegates chanted Plan’s name. This time, not in the sense of welcome, but in the sense that something really big has happened.
Of course, it was Becky who reacted the most violently.
“Why on earth? “If we lose early and embarrass ourselves, the magic faculty will all suffer.”
“If you are going to be embarrassed, it would be better to do it sooner. Rather than receiving and receiving greater expectations from a higher place.”
“Oh, I see. Does it mean that it is better to sell first? .”
Becky scratched her head in embarrassment.
Flann’s eyes turned to Becky.
“It’s not wrong. “It’s a little different from my plan.”
“Huh? Why? “Is there any other reason for changing the bracket?”
“After experiencing it, I just decided that there was no need for me to step forward myself.”
Becky tilted his head.
“What does that mean? Plan means you don’t have to go out on your own…. So in other words….”
Flan nodded quietly.
“It means that it is enough for you to deal with.”
“Hmm?”
“Just do it like you practiced.”
Flan brought the coffee cup to his mouth again.
“Because you will definitely win.”
Next up was Maiev.
◈
Are there only ordinary people in the audience? It wasn’t so.
“Hmm.”
The guard knights assisting the monks each let out exclamations of exclamation.
“Fade always called himself a reclusive expert. “I was curious about the swordsmanship, but it was over before I even saw it.”
“Should I say it was a box office hit? “I think I have a good understanding of how to get people to cheer and be interested.”
“Oh, it’s still just a simple victory. “Would you have fought while calculating every single thing?”
Although there were many different opinions, in the end, they were unanimous in praising Flan.
“Plan….”
“Flan.”
Everyone muttered that name one after another.
‘No matter what, it can’t be compared to a water engineer.’
That’s what all the escorts thought.
This was a slightly different concept from not recognizing the Plan. I freely admit that Plan is amazing, but I just thought the Capital Knights were a little more amazing.
It was because I had seen the strength of the capital knights for a long time, and it was also because of loyalty…. There were several factors.
However, after seeing Flan blowing away Fade with one blow, everyone had no choice but to change their thoughts.
And it was as if all those sounds were music.
“Hmm~”
President of the Faculty of Magic. Cornette bobs his head very slowly. It was best for him to stay still to protect his body, but his body reacted first, so he had no choice.
Since it was Cornet, he was satisfied with this level, but the magic professors sitting next to him were already unable to contain their excitement.
“Of course flan!”
That’s it, there was only one game, but there were already people trying to talk to Cornette.
Those sitting in the front row of the cornet turn their bodies halfway. They smiled softly and opened their mouths.
“hahahaha…. I have to say hello in advance like this. From the looks of it, the Faculty of Magic will prove many things this time too.”
“I would be grateful if you could see it that way.”
“Oh, it’s not like this, let’s introduce ourselves…” . We’re running a few tops, if you don’t mind….”
But that was then.
“But isn’t that just one Plan?”
The owner of the voice was Con, the guard knight of the capital knight Viola. The person with pure white hair who resembled Viola continued speaking as if pouring cold water on her.
“I don’t know how long I’m going to keep saying how great Flan is…. “Isn’t this a place where only great people gather?”
“Hmm?”
“We should focus on the other representatives of the Faculty of Magic. You participated thanks to Plan, right? “I think we need to look carefully to see if they are truly qualified.”
The owners of the top looked embarrassed and straightened their posture again.
‘Ugh.’
Waterworks Knight Clot’s guard quietly sighed.
‘Doesn’t Con realize that he is a nuisance to Viola?’
In fact, Viola was a knight famous for knowing manners, but it was Con, the guard knight, who always showed authority.
Con continued speaking.
“If everything goes according to schedule, the plan is for the next game anyway. Well, you will naturally understand after watching a few more games. “I don’t think it’s a matter to jump to conclusions.”
But the next moment, everyone blinked.
It was because of the person who appeared at the stadium.
“….”
After a moment of silence, everyone spoke again.
“No matter how you look at that….”
“It wasn’t Plan, but another representative showed up?”
“I see.”
It was Maiev, not Flann, who appeared at the stadium. Normally, flan should come out.
“President? How did this happen….”
Even if someone next to him asked a question, Cornette could not answer. Because he didn’t even know about it.
The place became confused.
“It looks like Plan replaced the player himself.”
“No one in their right mind would do that, so what should I do? Should we call Plan, the person involved, and ask him? Delay for a while….”
But that was before I even understood the confusion.
Boom!
A black and white explosion reminiscent of ink painting.
At the same time, the person standing across from Maiev is pushed out of the arena. It was so instantaneous that there was no time to even check who the other person was.
Maiev looked blankly at her hands.
Professor Violet muttered.
“… “You won?”
And everyone’s eyes turn to Viola’s escort, Con.
“….”
He too was unable to hide his embarrassment.
