Yes, it is, Mr. Emcee. But if the show continues to be such a success, I'm sure the number of days will increase.

I hope so. ...... Now, on the second day, we'll have a demonstration and a mock battle!

Demonstrations are when each golem demonstrates its special fighting skills and so on.

I see, that's easy to understand. By the way, what do you mean by "and so on"?

Yes, I added "such as" because it doesn't have to be a combat skill. For example, dancing is fine. Of course, the score will be lower accordingly.

Thank you very much. ...... Now that we have talked about points, I will explain it here. <, five judges will give each a score out of 10 points, and the total score will be the winner.

Incidentally, the head of the jury is Mr. Jin Nido, the Magecraft Meister. And His Majesty King Cesar will serve as a special judge.

That's wonderful.

The jury was chosen fairly, Your Majesty.

Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, the participants are ready.



 As if on cue, drums and gongs are sounded, the gates to the waiting room open, and the participants and their golems enter, starting with number 1.

(Demonstration, or ......)

 Jin had a lot on his mind.

 He had already gotten the approval from the tournament officials to give a model demonstration again today.

(Well, I can't predict how they will react. ......)

 The mystery man and the golem, whose purpose remains unknown, is the biggest factor that makes it difficult to predict.

(At least, from the way they are doing things, we can only assume that they are up to something sinister.)

 If it's for research purposes, there must be a better way, Jin thought to himself.

(And that Jix guy, ......)

 I sent the 5th column (Quinta) to the town of Nikalai and contacted Zidane Casey, a friend of Lukor's, to get a description of the assistant who had stolen the research, but it seemed that he was not the same person as Jix.

 The Ganno-Asher seems to have been a much younger man, with different hair and eye color.

 Of course, it is possible that he used a false name or disguise, but somehow I have a feeling that Jin is a multiple ...... offender who stole Zidane's research and did private work, albeit against thugs, so I call him this .......

 I think that it would be difficult for an individual to prepare such a thing as the < airship.

 I know I am putting myself on the shelf, but it is hard to imagine that there are others like me.



 Jin was roused from his reverie and looked up when he heard the loudest cheer.

 Number 41 had just entered the hall.

 And since number 41 was the last, it meant that the second day of the competition was about to begin.

All the participants are here! Unfortunately, numbers 13, 21, and 37 will not participate today.

 It must mean that they have decided not to participate in the second day after seeing the results of yesterday's competition.

 No wonder, Jin thought.

Well, today, too, there will be a by the golem created by the head of the jury, Mr. , Mr. Jin Nido.

The < makes his appearance.

"Oh ...... oh?"

"Is that ...... the work of the Magecraft Meister?"

"That's kind of disappointing."

< is deliberately designed to look like a slow ...... old-style golem, so it's no wonder the audience is confused.

 However, as soon as <> began his demonstration, this was replaced by murmurs of admiration.

"Oh, wow!

"Amazing!

"It's so fast, it looks hazy. ......"

 The greatsword prepared in the Kingdom of Selroa......Two Handed Sword = A sword even larger than a two-handed sword, called a greatsword, is held in one hand and is simply being swung.

 Of course, since it is a human sword, it is still light enough for a <>.

 Kesa-gatari, Gyaku-kesa-gatari, Yokonagagi, Gyaku-yokonagagi, Karatake-barai.

 They are just letting him do kendo techniques they saw in a comic book long ago, but they seem to be worth watching because of his physical ability.

"Oh!"

 And then more moves are added.

 This time, he mixes in some of the sword techniques of the Shoro Empire.

 Though, they are at the level of a senior soldier ...... squad leader.

 Even so, the power of the single-handed greatsword is different from that of the single-handed ...... shortsword.

 The sound of the sword cutting the wind reaches the audience.

(Stop right there).

 (Stop at such a place) Since this is a model performance, it is not good if the participants' performance becomes hazy if you don't stop at a certain point.

 On the other hand, it is not good if you cannot attract the attention of the 41st.

 Therefore, the technique was kept to a minimum and the demonstration was done in the direction of showing physical ability.

(I guess it was 50-50 whether they would bite or not.)

 After the demonstration, the stewards were given a thunderous applause.



Now, after the wonderful demonstration by the golem created by Jin Nido, the main competition is about to begin!

I can't wait to see what the participants have to show for it!




Let's start with number one, the steel knight Stahlritter!

Number 1 is also a sword. And it's a greatsword, albeit a little smaller than the other two.

 Stahlritter also showed his skill by wielding the greatsword with one hand.

This is also impressive! The swordsmanship of the Kingdom of Celuloa.

 The test ended with a unique technique of switching the sword to the left hand.

 The audience applauded loudly.

The judges are now grading the contestants.

 The judges write down the scores on a small piece of paper and hand it to the tournament officials. The official tallies the scores and projects them on the magic screen.

Twenty-eight points!

 The audience cheers, but at the moment it is hard to tell whether the score is high or low.

 Jin gave a score of 5, which was <.



 The next number 2, <>, showed his swordsmanship with an ordinary one-handed sword ...... short sword.

 Still, his movements were sophisticated and Jin gave him 6 points, but the other judges seemed to have a hard time with his performance, giving him only 21 points.



 The demonstrations were performed one after another.

 The highest score at the end of the half was 31 points by the Blue Knight No. 16.

 As the popularity of this event is well-known, the sword kata is very sophisticated. However, it lacked power, and Jin gave it a score of 4.

 Number 26 was a rare demonstration using a spear.

 It was unusual, but the technique was not up to the mark, resulting in a score of 16.

 The Iron Warrior (No.35) and the Old Warrior (No.40) both used the greatsword, but the Iron Warrior (No.35) received 27 points and the Old Warrior (No.40) Iron Warrior got 27 points and Altkrieger got 30 points.

 Then came number 41.

"Oh?

Two?"

started his demonstration with one short sword in each hand.

(Two swords ...... are two swords, so it's two sword styles?)

 Jin was watching the demonstration with such thoughts in his mind, but <>'s movements were difficult to grasp (I guess because of the difference in their physical structures).

(Is it because of the difference in body structure? ......?)

 But his movements are fast and smooth. His swordsmanship was also refined, and he received the highest score of 40 points for his demonstration.

 Jin also gave him 8 points, which is a fair score.

 The demonstration was now over. Incidentally, there are no points awarded for the first place in the demonstration, such as 100 points.

Mr. Tolff, your demonstration is over, isn't it?

Yes. But you surprised me with number 41.

He had a sword in each hand and used it beautifully.

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



Yes. It's impossible for a human to swing a sword like that. The left and right swords move as if they were wielded by different people, yet they don't interfere with each other. This is nothing short of magnificent.

 I agree with you.

( must be equipped with a control core with a lot of processing power, after all.
