Fran raised up a gear and attacked Biscot with the intention of settling the match. Although she hadn't used Black Lightning Rush yet, she had achieved great speed by using Awakening and some magic skills.
She's now capable of achieving this much speed without using her life-consuming trump card.
However, even though Fran's speed had become much faster than before, Biscot was beginn...
2022-02-26 09:47:52 +0000 UTC View PostFran was in high spirits this morning as she headed for the event. In her hands are skewers of grilled meat from the food stalls, this has become her routine for each morning while we're here.
Of course she also had breakfast at the inn. Or rather, after waking up, she took various things out of her dimensional storage and ate them. To Fran, a skewer is like a cookie to the average person...
2022-02-26 09:13:03 +0000 UTC View PostColbert seemed to be okay, so we decided to head back to watch the next match. The current match was between a guy named Abbab, a B-Ranked adventurer, and a student of the Dimitris-style school.
This Abbab guy seems to be a magic swordsman. He uses scimitars for close combat, and water and poison magic for long range.
Listening to the commentary, I learned that he was Eihwaz's disci...
2022-02-26 09:06:18 +0000 UTC View Post「Colbert, are you okay?」
「Oh, it's Fran, huh...?」
When we entered the infirmary, we found Colbert lying on a bed with bandages on his head. But when Fran called out to him, he was able to respond normally.
I wondered what would happen to him after that awful headbutt, but it seems he was saved by healing magic.
However, he suffered a caved-in skull and broken bon...
2022-02-26 08:59:13 +0000 UTC View PostThe battle between Colbert and Sibylla has just begun.
Colbert was using his footwork, and at first glance seemed to be waiting to see what his opponent would do. However, I could tell that he was looking for an opening and was waiting for the perfect time to launch an attack.
Colbert's strong point lies in his ability to wait and not attack recklessly after all.

2022-02-26 08:53:02 +0000 UTC View PostFran, having won the match, walked down the hallway to get back to the special spectator seats.
In addition to using Brilliant Lightning Rush, her magic power and physical strength have been considerably exhausted. She had also suffered a lot of injuries. If possible, I would like her to rest at the inn, but it is also important to gather information about the match.
I'll make sure ...
2022-02-26 08:45:40 +0000 UTC View PostWe were now surrounded by waves of raging lava. And below us, the red wall that emitted tremendous heat was approaching.
There was no way to escape. At this rate, we'll be swallowed up in the lava.
『Fran?』
(I'm still fine!)
I could use teleport to get us out of this situation, but Fran still seems to think that she can handle this on her own.
「Furyaah!」

Mordred turned his item bag, which he had removed from his waist, upside down and shook it lightly up and down. Then, metal balls the size of tennis balls fell from inside. A total of ten metal balls came tumbling out of it.
According to my appraisal, it was a magical alloy ball.
Mordred then holds up his spear as he lightly rolls th...

2022-02-26 08:24:11 +0000 UTC View PostThe man who was with Sibylla, Biscot, he was also quite a warrior himself.
From his tall, heavily muscled body, he must be quite a power fighter.
I appraised Biscot, which had appeared in the arena. However, the appraisal did not work properly. It seemed that he was still using a device to disguise his true status.
「That's quite a large shield」

「Sensei! You're here?」
「Nn」
After witnessing Mordred's victory, Fran went straight to the waiting room where Naria was waiting.
I think it's not usually this easy to get this kind of information, but when Fran asked the officials, they promptly told her where Naria is. The promptness of their response made me worry that their information...

「Nn!」
After winning against Dufour, Fran went straight to the spectator seats.
The fight was over in an instant, but Fran looked satisfied. Though the same happens in last year's tournament too, I guess winning is always a happy thing.
『Let's celebrate our first-round victory. We're going to have a big party tonight!』

「Nn, all good」
『Good. How about you, Urushi?』

Urushi replied with a cheerful voice from within the shadows.
Urushi has returned to us today. Now that Sibylla and her companion were also participating in the tournament, it become easier to monitor them. The adventurer's guild must have decided to relieve Urushi f...

The sight of him turning his head was quite horrifying.

Hilt, who had been staring at Fran for a few seconds, then muttered something in a small voice.

I wonder what does she mean by that? Fran tilted her head in confusion for not understanding the meaning of her words.
「I see, it's no wonder Colbert lost to her. I wonder how can she be this strong at this young age......

We were now in the Adventurer's Guild. This time, our purpose was not to see Diaz nor the strangely tired-looking Colbert that stood beside the couch, but the slender old man sitting on it.

Though he said that, there was not even a hint of affectionate expression on his face. He ...

The moment Fran steps back, the Lesser Ogre jumps at Katley.
As it was just a small fry as a practice opponent for beginners, its movements were sluggish and not very nimble.
It has no weapon skills, and its wooden stick is not that dangerous of a weapon.
But it could still inflict a painful blow and break one's bones if it were to hit a bad place. It co...
