--Arena Spectacula.

"Ooh, I thought it was going to be a great partnership, but Wind attacked Arrows!　It's one on one!

　The commentary desk was busy with the fast development.
　The commentators were busy with the fast pace of the match, and the crowd was heating up as she talked at the same time.

　The clash of skill and power heated up in a different way from the first match.
　The girl shouts, her hands sweating as she watches the battle unfold.

The girl's hands were sweating as she watched the fight unfold, and she shouted, "Now Wind and Arrows are going head-to-head, but Izuna and Leafy are going head-to-head!　What are you going to do, big brother?
What are you going to do about it, big brother?
I don't know.

　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.
　I'm not sure what to make of it. The two members of the Wilderness Storm Blades were trying to attack Leafy and Arrows from both sides as they stood back to back protecting each other.

　Even though they are back to back, they are not exactly attached to each other. There is a space between the two Wild Hunters that is about the size of three people.
　Considering the fact that they get stuck at the first step, it is not so tight. Nevertheless, that is probably the shortest distance that they can go without getting in each other's way.

　Futa held his hands in admiration at how mature the partnership had become in such a short time.

　Of course, his "mimicry" and his "trajectory" would not give him any information about the partnership.
　Or, more accurately, they cannot know who they are working with.
　What they can see is the trajectory of the individual they are looking at, but they cannot tell who the target is fighting with.

　So we can only guess from here on out.

"I know very well that Arrows and Leafy frequently hunted hexenbiests. I know that Arrows and Leafy have been hunting hexenbiests frequently, and I'm sure it's the result of the fact that they don't even need to make eye contact, they just stand at such a fine distance from each other without disturbing each other.
"Let's see, ......, here we go.
"Let's move.
"What?

　I'm not sure what to do.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

I'm not sure what to do.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I think it's a good idea. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.
　I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before. They are more likely to counter from the receiving end. I'm not sure if you've seen this before.
"Why?
The only way for Leafy to win is to counter. The only way Leafy can win is by countering, and Izuna is not immune to that.
"Wow.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing and how you're going to do it. In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find it on the internet.
"What's that?
You can find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I've seen it before.
I'm sure you'll agree. So Leafy is at a significant disadvantage ......?
I'll be honest, I'm at a disadvantage.

　It's a field that he's good at defending.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
　The audience was suddenly buzzing as the commentator, who was not outside, declared the situation unfavorable.

　An unbridgeable gap in ability.
　This is the【Tenka Hachi-Sen】.

　If you think about it calmly, you're right. "The strongest of the kingdom, Lilac M. Fangini, was on par with Aylan B. Smiles and Prim Lancaster.

　In other words, the strongest in the kingdom was on par with the eight flashes of lightning.
　In addition, even Izuna calls herself Gounotachi.

　How good are the top players?
　It was a realm I couldn't even imagine.

　But.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

　The man who said this so casually.
　The man who said that without hesitation was definitely the champion who stood at the top of them all.

　At least, if what he says is true.
　The fact that Leafy Lean Glide and Izuna Sienzan are at an overwhelming disadvantage does not mean that they have lost their chance to win.

　The crowd was filled with anticipation as they cheered on the Wild Hunt.

It's going to be a tough fight. But I'm sure the Wild Hunt knows that. After all.
"If there is any movement on the part of Arrows and Wind while Leafy is holding Izuna.
That's what I'm talking about.

　That's what the Wild Hunt is about, isn't it? I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something to help you out.
"Yeah, ...... yeah?

　Futa tilted his head at the phrasing.
　But he immediately understood.


　Beatrix M. Orba certainly knows what Wind Earth Note is capable of. But that's only outside of Spectakura.
　This is because Arrows is better known in Spectacula, no matter how much Izuna calls him his partner.

I'm sure you're right. I don't think anyone who saw the final qualifying round of the first tournament would just call him a 'failure'.
That's right!

　Even those sitting in the audience remember the final death match of the preliminary round.

　In the final phase of the Battle Royal, the battle for the ticket to the main event, which was narrowed down to just two players, was truly worthy of being called a fierce battle.

　Some of the genuine fans of sword fighting who had frequented Spectacula since the qualifying rounds, even leaving aside their own preferences for individual swordsmen, even designated the battle between those who had advanced to the main tournament as the best bout.

　A battle between people of similar abilities.
　Sometimes it's more exciting than a fight to the death to determine the top.

　Leafy Lean Glide was indeed a swordsman who disappeared in the first round of the main tournament. However, no one underestimates his skill because of the battle against Arrows, which was just one step ahead of him.

　Leafy and Arrows, who won the preliminary round to the end. The Wild Hunt is a duo that has a strong following among the audience.

　I must dare to mention Arrows and Wind's abilities.


"Wind Earth Note is ...... strong.



　It was just a moment before Futa said it.



I'm not sure what to say.　



I'm not sure what to say.

　In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, there are a few things you can do.

　A heavy, blunt iron rod. A heavy, blunt iron rod. A weapon that exerts tremendous power when wielded as a blunt instrument with simple physical strength.

　As Prim showed in the previous game, having two weapons is a tremendous advantage.

　It is often said that a two-edged sword is no match for a single-edged sword, but this is by no means accurate.

　It is only because the power of the two swords is more dispersed than that of the one sword that it is said that the two swords are inferior.

　So, if two swords are simply more powerful than one sword.
　It's just a super-compatibility.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.

　But Arrows is not to be outdone.
　If Wind-Earth Note's own random strikes are a perfect storm.
　The skill of Arrows, a two-fisted swordsman, is an adventurer's ship pushing through that storm.

　It is a kind of Leafy Leafs.
　It's kind of like the sword of Leafy Lean Glide.

I've already explained how awesome the weeping cherry tree is, but Arrows' two swords are also very powerful in terms of defense. It's not defense, but survival. And by the way, do you think a human can win an endurance race against a hexenbiest?
What kind of question is that?　What kind of question? ...... Just based on the image, I think it's impossible.
Yeah, I don't think so. I'm not sure what to make of it. Aside from the fact that it's not dojo swordsmanship to begin with, if Leafy symbolizes protection, then Arrows' is survival.
What's the difference?　Does it have anything to do with the question I just asked?
It does. Unlike Leafy's sword, which is there to protect someone, Arrows' sword is there for his own survival. I'm not trying to demean Arrows. I'm not trying to belittle Arrows, I'm just saying that Arrows' sword is a defense for finding a way out.



That's it!

　You can't beat a hexenbiest in an endurance race.
　There is no way a human can win an endurance race against a hexenbiest, so even if you fortify your defenses, you'll be outnumbered.

　But fighting a hexenbiest is literally a fight to the death for your life. Even a single blow can be fatal.
　That is why the hunter should not be bothered by the opponent's "power", but continue to fight carefully and hunt for the slightest opening.

　That's the way a hexenbiest hunter fights.

　It's the same when you move to sword fighting.
　The iron sword is heavy. And by no means is Wind Earth Note fast.
　Of course, that's only compared to a swordsman who focuses on speed, but if you can track it with your eyes, you can react.

Compared to the Shangri-la Storm Shark, I can still track it!
"--

　Swing down with the right, cleave with the left.
　He pulls back the ironwork he brought down in the middle of the cleave.
　And then, as if to intervene in that momentary gap, Arrows unleashed a stab.

　Wind's eyes widen slightly.



"So, you know pasta?
'What?　What are you talking about?



　A distracted murmur echoed through the spectacle.

'The life span of a fighter, or rather the average age of retirement.
What? No, I haven't looked into that. How old are you?

　The question came out of nowhere. But it's not a meaningless question.
　His gaze never wavers from Wind Earth Note. Pasta waited for the words, thinking that Futa's murmur must have something to do with him.

　--Pasta waits for the words, knowing, of course, that he himself is aware of the lifespan.

　When he asks again for the audience to hear, Futa spins his words without hesitation. 　

"They say 30. But it's actually a little lower. 27 or 8. Do you know why?


I wonder if it will make me less responsive. It's more likely to cause accidents.
Yes. Overall, it's hard to keep up with the game. I've known a lot of fighters who quit because of that.
".......

　You may not know Pasta, but Beatrix M. Orba does. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

　And that she knew this when she entered the sword fighting arena.

　I was injured in the first tournament.
　But more than that, I had given up.
　Partly because I didn't know much about spectacle and sword fighting.
　I just knew quietly that it was no place for an old bones like me.

　But...



　--The winner, Futa Pomodoro!



　The heat had carried me beyond my years.

　Unknowingly, my hand grasping the iron door tightened.

　And then the "ex-chairman" smiled and said.

　--Good luck with that.

　You've always lived by stifling your own desires.
　It's time for you to be selfish.



"Ooh!



"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

　I was convinced he had an opening.
　So I inserted it.
　The sword in his right hand was now caught in the iron doorframe and shattered miserably.

"d*mn it, I thought I had it all figured out.
Ha-ha-ha. You're still young.

　I thought I had it all figured out." "Hahaha. You're still young." Wind chuckles, and Arrows raises the corner of his mouth.
　He pulled out a spare sword from his back.
　As a hexenbiest hunter, you must always be prepared.
　If you were graceful enough to let a shattered weapon defeat you, you would have died a long time ago.

You're not bluffing. What's going on?
Think of Futa in the semifinals.
"......, I see.

　Arrows had seen Futa's game in the first round.
　It was the first time he had ever seen a lilac with a broken contessa.
　Ever since it was broken, he had been fighting with it, disguising his strength in order to break her sword back.

"Wilderness Storm Blade, that's one hell of a storm!
"Ha-ha-ha. A storm, indeed. Izuna-dono also gave himself this name because he called himself a storm.

　But Arrows doesn't know that.
　The Battle of Huta was referred to by Wind-Earthnote.
　Where it has its roots.


　The banner of the sword fluttered in the arena.


"You have indeed weathered the storm. But.

　The iron door swings.
　--For example, even if his body was beginning to show signs of weakness.
　And yet, you challenged me with this sword. Even though he could no longer twist and turn with his strength, Wind Earth Note had a disguise for his "skill" that he had developed from his many experiences fighting against others.

　He has developed this ability for the sake of someone he loves.

　The boss who smiled at you and told you to live your life the way you want.


"Let me see if I can survive these rough waters.
"Haha!


　The fight up until now was serious, but not all-out.
　That's why I failed to see an opening.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.


I'm not sure what to make of it. He knows how old he is, and that's why he doesn't fight head-on with that iron door, a weapon that would hit him head-on. The illusion is - haha, it reminds me of a rough sea.
...... You look like you're having fun, big brother.
That's right. --If you can do it, Mr. Wind, you can do it.

　There is only one person that Futa Pomodoro knows who can use this technique.

　But strangely enough. I'm not sure if it's the right time, but I have a feeling that Wind Earthnote will be able to turn this into a storm with his raging skills.

I'm sure you're right.
Yeah, that's for sure.

　Even with Leafy and Izuna.
　I'm not sure. You can't hide it.
　I'm not going to hide it from you.

　But that's not because Futa doesn't understand the explanation.



"But that's why they named it the Wild Hunt in the first place. It's all about the underdog, the underdog, the underdog. Right?
That's right, big brother!

　You're beginning to understand what an explanation is," Pasta said with an honest smile.



　Despite the excitement of the commentators and spectators.

　The battle between the Wild Hunt, which is trying to overturn its inferiority, and Arashiya, which is facing it head-on, is about to enter its final phase.
