220 – Good.
The moment Lewis stepped onto the stadium.
“Oh, wait a minute. “This is not it.”
Capital Knight Clot held out one palm. It was a hand gesture that seemed to stop Lewis from climbing onto the pitch.
Clot’s appearance was quite unique. Instead of a pupil, the second and minute hands were spinning in one pupil, and the sword also had the shape of a very long second hand.
… It looked as if the clock had been molded into a human being.
Clot said, running his fingers through his hair.
“I came all the way here to deal with Flan, Luis…. Did you say that? Not this. No matter how much you think about it.”
Clot didn’t seem to even be interested in Louis. I look over Lewis’s shoulder and look at Flann, who is standing in the center of the representatives of the Faculty of Magic.
“Hey, Plan. Shouldn’t you take action yourself? “I heard the story roughly and it says that if even one person loses in the magic department, they will be eliminated.”
“….”
Other representatives of the Faculty of Magic also looked at Flann in silence. He looked as if he was longing for the right answer. Clot crossed his arms regardless.
After a moment, Flann opened his mouth.
“I am.”
Compared to everyone else’s fidgeting, Flan’s face was very calm. As if any signs of anxiety had disappeared.
“I decided that Lewis was enough.”
“hahahaha, hahahahaha! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Then Clot’s second hand ticked and rotated for a moment. He raises his finger over his eyeball and resets the spun second hand.
It was an action that ordinary people could not even imagine or imitate. Clot said.
“I just recorded that statement during my time. “It’s quite interesting. I’ll have to check this out whenever I’m bored.”
Clot burst out laughing as if he was genuinely having fun. For now, his escorts and spectators could only watch the situation carefully.
Of course, most of the knights could not hold back and expressed their anger.
Waterworks engineer, Clot.
He is a person known to have the art of cutting through time. He was a person who was often mentioned as a candidate for a hero.
Clot tilts his head at Flan’s remarks.
“Lewis?”
In fact, Clot had never even heard the name Louis. He was not interested in the real world, but even if he was interested, he would not necessarily have remembered the names of representatives other than Plan.
No, even if you leave everything else aside.
How on earth could a worthless wizard have the courage to step forward and fight against Clot?
“No, yes. Well, it’s all good.”
Clot’s gaze finally turned to Louis.
“You said Louis, right?”
“Yes.”
“Can you deal with me?”
A blatant and direct question is thrown at Lewis. Lewis quietly met Clot’s gaze.
Lewis quietly looked into Clot’s gaze. Surprisingly, there was nothing that could be called hesitation or fear in the boy’s eyes as he faced the water engineer.
“….”
Clot took a moment to understand the meaning of those eyes.
The gaze directed at oneself was always there.
Awe, respect, and fear from those who have to face and battle Clot. Of course, in most cases, it was people full of fear and no respect.
But Lewis was the opposite.
There is respect, but there is no fear. That’s really unique.
“There is no answer. Louis I’m not ignoring you. However, I would like to hear what you think.”
“I am confident.”
Lewis said calmly.
The boy’s words did not stop there. On the contrary, he speaks while looking at Clot with his own eyes.
“By the way, will you be okay, Master? “If you lose to me, you will have a lot to deal with.”
“… !”
Actually, Clot was fine, but the eyes of the people around them who were listening to their conversation widened. Becky and Trixie try to run away, but Flan blocks them.
Becky said.
“Is that okay? Although it is said that taking the lead is important in winning a game…. Anyway, this….”
“It’s okay.”
When Flan nodded his head as if it was okay, Becky and Trixie had no choice but to nod along countless times.
Lewis immediately extended a hand to the water engineer.
“This is Lewis, the wizard.”
“Yes.”
In the end, Clot held the hand as if he liked it. The boy and his man shake hands, and the water engineer shrugs his shoulders and says:
“I think I’ve heard quite a bit about how proud Plan is. But I didn’t know that other representatives were like that too.”
“It wasn’t like this at first. “I wonder if we are starting to resemble each other more and more.”
Lewis continued with a relaxed smile.
Waterworks engineer.
In the past, a water engineer was so dazzling that even his eyes could not be opened properly. Was that all? Just hearing the name ‘knight’ made me feel like I couldn’t breathe.
But now it is different.
Lewis decided not to worry too much about who the other person was anymore. He will believe in the times he had with Flan, and he will believe in himself.
Lewis said.
“Of course it’s good to have the experience of dealing with a water engineer.”
“This is a story about when experience remains only experience. Did you check the contents of the memorandum? “This is a place where if you mess up, you’ll die.”
“It’s okay. There is no need to worry again. “I can take care of my own life.”

Without realizing it, Clot moved his hand to his waist and then stopped.
‘You care about the provocation of a mere wizard.’
It was something that could not have happened. Clot calmed himself as quickly as he could and then nodded his head.
“Okay, wizard friends. Let’s do it this way.”
Clot looked at the other knights behind him. His gaze wanders and then rests on his escort knight.
“I will also send out my escort. Instead, let’s keep the conditions the same. “If you lose, you forfeit.”
The expressions on the other knights’ faces also showed that they had finally realized what was right. Becky muttered quietly.
“If you do this, you have avoided confronting the capital knight Clot. Should I be happy if this happens? “It’s not such a bad situation, right?”
“Anyone can win as long as they win.”
Plan only answered briefly.
There was a movement that left both sides confused by the whims of Clot and Louis, and the first to break the silence was none other than the imperial official.
“There is always something interesting about watching the war of nerves on both sides. “If I were to summarize the situation as a neutral person, it would be as follows.”
The bureaucrat opened both sides’ memoranda at once and then began revising them at the same time.
“Both sides decided to send out their agents, and if the agents lose, it will be considered a forfeit and they will leave this place. “I think we have to confirm it like this, right?”
The official looked at Clot and Louis in turn, and the two people nodded. Lewis formed Mana into a small ball and calmly threw it and squeezed it.
“Yes. “I have no intention of reversing it.”
“Okay. “What about Clot?”
“I will do that.”
Clot immediately turned around and approached the guard. He gives him a long, second-hand-like sword.
“Brine.”
Brine, Clot was the name of the escort knight.
“Yes. “This is Brine.”
“I will do my best. Know?”
“You will never do anything half-heartedly.”
After holding the sword with both hands, Brine stood on the arena with a solemn look on his face. Even though it was an escort driver and not the person involved, the response was significant.
“Clot handed over the sword!”
“It’s a fight between a guard knight and the magic faculty…. “I’m curious.”
Perhaps because they thought it was a more unpredictable match than before, the audience’s reaction became much warmer than before.
Brine said while facing Lewis.
“What would it have been like if Flann had been defeated by Clot? I think it would have been an honorable defeat. Was it really necessary to bring the situation to this point?”
“That must have been the picture they wanted. This is what I want. Instead of avoiding it, come forward.”
“Good. “I’ll let you know whether it’s courage or arrogance.”
As Clot adjusted his sword, Louis also surrounded himself with light and prepared for battle.
“Please confirm with your sword, not your mouth.”
“Insolent.”
At that time, Brine was about to swing his sword lightly.
‘… ?’
Brine paused without realizing it. This is because Lewis’s light began to take on a golden color.
I thought he was simply taking his time to take the lead, but I could sense quite a bit of innocence in Lewis’s light.
1 Second.
2 Seconds.
3 Seconds.
“….”
The two stood in silence for a while, and Brine’s gaze on Louis changed slightly with each second.
And finally.
Brine adjusted his sword.
“Good.”
He nodded and said.
“We will fight with all our might.”
