87 Episode 86 Knights in Flames




"What about O2......? Aren't they supposed to be banned from this tournament, ......?

No, but they were on the roster. Why don't you check it out?

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.


What do you mean I'm banned from ......?
What the hell happened to you in the past?

As I was wondering that, ...... Evolva came back next to me with a surprised look on his face.

You're serious! Oh my god.

He said this in a loud voice that could be heard throughout the waiting room.
I wish ...... you would turn down the volume a little.

What happened to that ...... ban?

I asked him about the word that bothered him the most.
Then ...... Evolva said something I hadn't expected to hear.

"The O2 Knights, ......3 when they competed in this tournament a year ago. The O2 Knights used an unbelievably bad move that killed their opponent.

"What ...... death?

I couldn't help but ask back.

It's true that mock battles have their share of mishaps.
But ...... if the opponent died for that reason, it wouldn't get the player banned.

The "unbelievably bad move that killed him" means that the O2 Knights player probably killed his opponent intentionally. ...... Would he do that when killing an opponent is a foul in this tournament?

As I pondered this, Evolva continued.

The O2 Knights are a special order that is a bit different from the others. ....... The O2 Knights are a special order that is different from the others: They are not affiliated with any noble house, but are an independent order made up entirely of alchemists. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

"Oh, I see. ......

That made a little more sense to me.

It is true that ...... alchemy is mostly a technique that cannot be stopped in the middle.
It can be explained if you have no choice but to leave your opponent to die because there is no way to take it easy.

For example, there is a kind of battle potion made by alchemists called "Ultimate Intuition" ....... The method of using it is one of the typical "unstoppable techniques".

It's also a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing and how you're doing it.
In the higher grade, even the surrounding air is considered to be a part of the drinker, and each air molecule makes its own decisions and moves on its own.
As a result, the drinker will be able to unleash powerful attacks, such as cloaking or releasing plasma.

On the other hand, there is a disadvantage to this drug: ...... Once you take the Ultimate Intuition, you will not be able to stop your "optimal movements for combat" until you kill your enemy.

Therefore, it would be foolish to use this potion in a mock battle. ...... If an alchemist who desperately wanted to win a battle used this potion in this tournament, it would be understandable that such a result would occur.

Of course, the sharpness of movement depends on the physical ability of the person who has taken it, so there is a limit to ...... how much it can make you move optimally for battle.
It's not like you'll be able to keep up with the serious physical enhancements of a properly strengthened tamer.

That's why ...... there's no danger of me losing this fight.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

"Is that the only reason why you were banned from ......?

I tried to confirm that.

"Well, as far as the ...... battle is concerned, that's all. In addition to that, there have been some problems with his conduct, such as selling banned ogre killers to audiences. ......

"Ogre ...... kill?

Yeah. It's a liquor made by alchemy with an unattainable strength. They're also called the Knights of the Flame because they sell that stuff.

"Oh, .......

...... That drink.
I'm sure you've heard of it, but I've never heard of it.

You can find a lot of people who like to drink alcoholic beverages.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

That's what I'll be fighting for, I guess.
When I heard the announcement that the first match was about to begin, ...... I said so and left my seat.

I said, "I'll fight with care.

I told him so and opened the door to the tournament hall.



You ...... know all about drinking calls, even though you turned down a marriage proposal because of your age. ......

I'm sure Evolva was saying something behind me, but I couldn't hear him over the cheers of the crowd.


I can't hear you.



When I went up to the stage of the match ......, my opponent was already entering.

So that's the Alchemist, my opponent this time.

I looked up and saw a banner on the railing of the spectator's seat across from me that seemed to belong to the O2 Knights.
The banner read, "Of course we will be reformed, by alchemy.


...... These people have absolutely no intention of reforming.
If they really want to be rehabilitated, they won't make a joke out of it by saying "We will be rehabilitated".

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. ...... They're not cheering, they're completely onlookers.



...... When you think about it.
When I was thinking about that, my opponent started to ...... make a hole in the ground and started to bury something like a plant seed in the hole.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. ...... Hey, if he's using that technique, does that mean he's not using ...... Ultimate Intuition this time?
