409 - - 12-59 Reiko, The Battle





The first to move was the Swordsman Golem.

He swung his greatsword as tall as Reiko and slashed at her from the top.

Reiko ducked with a graceful step.

The sword she swung down immediately leapt up and struck Reiko from below at an angle. But Reiko is already gone.

"You are very quick, aren't you?

Marcus muttered to himself, and gave further instructions to the Swordsman Golem.

"Garboreal! Let's get serious!"

In response to his voice, the speed of the Swordsman Golem increased by one, no, two steps.

The huge body, which looked to be over 400 kilograms, began to move faster than a human.

The ground was gouged or cracked by his steps.

"What speed for such a huge body. ......"

Most of the crowd was transfixed by the movement.

But Prince Ernest whispered to Princess Rieschen sitting next to him.

"It's no big deal. Jin's Reiko has blown dozens of runaway battle golems out of the sky with that little body of hers.

"I saw it too, I was there when she neutralized fifty bandits in an instant.

As she says, Reiko is dodging the onslaught of the swordsman golem, Garboreal.

"Hmph... Is running away the only thing you can do? You are a puppet of a second-rate magical engineer after all!

Marcus muttered, and his words reached Reiko's ears.

"...... I didn't want to embarrass you too much because your father told me not to, but it seems you don't even know that."

Reiko stopped. She intercepted the incoming greatsword.

"Oh, oh!

The audience couldn't believe their eyes.

Reiko parried the greatsword wielded by Garboreal, the Swordsman Golem, at times, at other times, she repelled it, and at other times, she met it head-on.

I could not believe her physical strength, but I was also astonished by the strength of the sword in Reiko's hand, which was only about one-tenth the thickness of the greatsword.

"Why won't it break?"

Such a voice leaked out from the audience.

"How can this mock sword that your father made for me break so easily?

64 light silver is stronger than steel. And now Reiko has the skill to absorb the impact. Even if it looks like they are striking each other head-on, they are relaxing at the moment of impact to cushion the shock.

"It's time to counterattack!"

Reiko increased her speed even more.

The tower shield of Garboreal was useless. Reiko slashes from a direction the tower shield is not facing. If it had been Momoka or the Vibration Sword, the match would have been decided with a single blow.

However, Reiko is holding a mock sword without a blade. So Reiko chose the strategy of accumulating damage.

She attacked the left arm supporting the heavy tower shield and the left shoulder at the base of the shield. Even though her whole body is covered with armor, her joints and other movable parts are relatively weak.

After more than 10 blows, a part of the armor was peeled off. Another 10 blows or more crack the magical muscle in his left shoulder. With the weight of the tower shield in his hand, the crack gradually widened.

Then, under further attack, the magical muscle (magical muscle), which corresponds to the deltoid muscle in humans, was torn. He could no longer lift his left arm.

"It's over!"

A mock sword is held to the throat of the Swordsman Golem, which can no longer hold up its tower shield.

That's it! Jin, the winner!

Jin felt a little sorry for Reiko as the name of the creator was called.

Reiko bowed to the audience at the curtesy and was cheered by the audience.

"Cute!

"Good one, girl!"

"Keep it up, and go for the victory!"

It seems that in any age, a scene in which a beautiful girl plays an active role invites sympathy from those who are watching.

"Reiko, you're so wonderful!"

"She's absolutely terrifying. ......"

Prince Ernest and Princess Rieschen were pleased and somewhat awed by Reiko's performance, just as they had expected.

The audience may or may not be aware of the threat. The audience may or may not have been aware of the threat, but they were too excited to be sure.

On the other hand, the female emperor, sitting in the top row of the guest seats, is holding her head in her hands.

She had changed the rules on her own and lost easily.

The impression she gave to Jin was terrible. And the audience was probably not happy either.

The only good thing is that Jin won the match so that the audience will probably not criticize him for the rule change. However, as a female emperor who wants Jin to serve her, I wanted to cry.

"Well then! The final match! A showdown in martial arts!

Jin and Reiko had already won hands down, but since they were supposed to fight to the end according to the rules, Marcus turned his hateful eyes on Jin as he brought out his remaining combat golem.

This golem is a weighted golem.

It wears no armor and has no hands, but it has a good physique. It is over two meters tall and probably weighs 400 kilograms. His thighs alone would be as big as Reiko's torso.

But the audience no longer doubted Reiko's victory.

"Hajime!

with a shout, Golem launched his fists at Reiko. It was a blow that would have shattered an ordinary automaton if it had hit it. Reiko, however, leaps and ducks.

Aiming at the timing when Reiko landed on the ground, Golem's kick was released.

It seemed to hit ......, but Reiko sank her body down and avoided it. The ribbon on her head shook in the aftermath of the kick.

Reiko ducks all of the golem's attacks, as if testing something.

Her body moves as she pleases. The wind on my cheeks, the wind in my hair. The wind on my cheeks, the wind in my hair... The wind tells me what to do. And the vibrations on the ground tell me when my opponent is moving.

Reiko, who now has < senses, has greatly improved her sensing ability in close quarters, and she has been a perfect opponent to test it against, and has been dodging the Golem's attacks.

"But we have to make a decision soon, don't we?

Reiko stepped forward while avoiding the Golem's fist. She then counter-punched him near his dove tail. The height difference between the two is such that the best Reiko can do is to hit him in that area.

However, since he is a golem, the dove tail is not a vital point.

However, even though she was restraining herself, the counter-punch that Reiko's power unleashed was enough to blow away her opponent's golem, which had a weight difference of more than 10 times.

The golem, which was blown away about 5 meters, did not get up. It seems that the magi device inside the golem was damaged.

"Yes, a blow. ......

It's not a great one. ......

As before, Reiko greeted the audience with a curtsey, and the crowd erupted into a roar of cheers.

A complete victory. This was also the first time in the long history of the Gonkrenz competition that this had been accomplished.

"You did it, Jin. Isn't that great?"

"Well, if he's not my friend, he's a threat."

Prince Ernest and Princess Rieschen, who knew Jin's personality, were having a leisurely conversation.

"Jin, congratulations! Reiko, you're doing great!"

Reinhardt was also pleased and praised her.

"Ladies and gentlemen! As you can see, the results are in! The winner of the Gonkwrenz competition is Jin Nido! And his automata, Reiko!

The audience cheered louder and louder. Jin patted Reiko on the head when she came back.

"Reiko, thank you very much. That was great.

"Thanks to your father. <

"I see... I see..."

Jin's face breaks into tears as he realizes that his sense of touch is more effective than he had expected. Hearing this, Reinhardt later decides to install a tactile sensor in his black knight (Schwarzlitter), but that is a story for another time.

"Well then, Mister Gin, how about a special attraction, a mock battle with a giant golem?"

To this question, the audience replied,

"Do it!"

"Let me see you do it!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


and "Let's see it! There was no problem, so Jin agreed.

I understand. ...... Mister Markus, can you move the giant golem for me?

Marcus looked at me with hatred and said in a hushed voice, "Sure.

"Sure, but Goliath is a bit of a handful. But Goliath is not very good with his hands. I don't want to have to worry about that, do you?"

Finally, Reiko and Goliath began their one-on-one combat.

"Let's begin!"

The referee called out, and the curtain finally came down on the battle between Reiko and Goliath.

"Let's go, ......!"

Reiko had a quiet anger in her heart.

It was because her father, Jin, had been disgraced.

She didn't even like the idea of Jin, the Magecraft Meister, being lumped in with the ranks of mere Magecraftsmen, but now she was being belittled by someone who had such a broad brush with the Magecraftsmen.

She wanted to crush him once and for all, and have Jin recognized. That was Reiko's true intention.

She also thought that it was necessary to show her ability clearly here in order to eliminate any future interference or harassment against Jin.

However, Jin does not like unnecessary destruction. He also does not like to show off too much. Reiko understood his character.

Her final action was to overwhelm without showy destruction as Jin had instructed her to do.
