124 - - The Brave Challenge the afternoon Game

Second day of school, afternoon session.

We were gathered on the arena field.

"Aniue. I was wondering what the standings and scores are now..."

My brother-in-law, who was carrying me on his shoulders, patted me on the head and said.

I was so busy competing that I didn't remember. What was it like?

"What?　First place Royal, second place Imperial, third place Holy Empire and Eastern Commonwealth in a tie."

""""is ......?"""

"The breakdown of the scores is ,

The Royalty has three first-place finishes and one disqualification, +4 points.

The Empire has 3 second places and 1 third place, +2 points.

The Imperials had 1 first place, 1 third place, and 2 fourth place finishes, for -3 points.

Eastern is -3 points for one 2nd place, two 3rd places, one 4th place and one disqualification."

By the way, +2 for first place, +1 for second place, -1 for third place, and -2 for fourth place.

The members of the royal family look at each other with a blank expression on their faces.

"Do you remember everything, brother?

"Oh. I remember the standings of each event and all the details of the games. I can reconstruct the events in seconds. ...... But of course you all remember, don't you?"

I don't remember!"""I don't remember!"""

"Oh, it's been a while since I've had a good time with Hitachi. Have you been so busy with Aniue lately that you've neglected to pick up the pace?"

Everyone sighs.

"You're really something else, aren't you, brother? We're just too busy with the game at hand.

"That's my boy Julius!　It's great that you always have time to spare!"

Everyone nodded in admiration.

"Is this a great thing?"

"Aniue is doing great aniue. It's Sasuue!"

"What's that, Sasuue? ......"

Gaius sighs.

Soon after, the chairman of the board of trustees comes down to the ground.

The athletes from the various schools line up on the field.

"My brother, ...... the Historian..."

Yeah, he's not here.

I can't see her.

I look at Dantalion, who stands at the head of the group, and shake my head.

"You say you've looked everywhere but can't find her."

"What?　How do you know so much?"

Gaius, standing behind me, rolls his eyes.

"What?　Can't you hear the other person's heart when you look in their eyes?"

"No!　I mean, ...... hmmm, heh, you guys seem to be getting along great!"

Gaius kicks me in the leg.

"Fudu fudu fudu ...... Gaius-sama fudu fudu fudu ...... Julius-sama fudu fudu from behind ...... ......♡"

Aside from that.

The President explains the events.

"Pentathlon?"

"What's an "a-n-u-e-, goshu-kiyo-gi"?"

"My old brother didn't tell me."

The chairman of the board of trustees explained the following

(1) One student from each school will participate in each type of competition.

(2) In each competition, there are [practical skill points] and [artistic points].

The final ranking will be decided by the total score of practical skill and artistic skill at the end of the five events.

<

1. shooting

2. equestrian

3. fencing

4. ski jumping

5. figure skating

"I know the top four, but are there any practical points in figure skating?"

Apparently, each of them has its own special rules.

<<

"Ability ...... averaging?"

"A n e w , w h a t is averaging?"

<

"Are you staying away from the old version?"

"Mika, don't you like the chancellor too much?"

The chairman clears his throat.

<

"I don't quite understand?　The old is no good."

<

"I still don't understand. That's why I don't like you, my old brother.

I look at Mikael and say.

"Well, it means that we have to share the power in the team. The higher guys give power to the lower guys and make adjustments so that everyone is on an equal footing.

"Oh!　That's easy to understand!　That's what I'm talking about!　The original is different!"

"No, Mika, isn't your real brother over there?"

The chancellor looks around at the students.

Well," says the chairman.

<

The royal family discussed it.

"First, me!　I'm the [gunshot]!　I'm number one!"

Mikhail jumps up and down and says.

"Mika, you're so excited!　How are you doing?"

"I haven't been very active lately. I've been taking all the delicious food to the restaurants. I'm jealous of your praise ......!"

"It's not like that. ......"

Gaius sighs and says.

"First me!　I'll do my best and get compliments from Anyue!　Oooh!　I am!"

"I see. Good luck, Mica."

He patted his brother-in-law on the head.

"Yes!　I'll do my best!　If you do your best, I'll give you a prize!"

"Hey, don't be brazen. Tell him no, brother."

"What? I don't mind.

My brother-in-law smiles.

"Yes!　Then I want you to go [choo-choo] for me!"

"Haaaaaaaaah!"

Gaius makes a crazy noise.

"F**k ...... you!　What are you asking me to do something so stupid!　Tell him, brother!"

"Yeah, I don't mind."

"Yay!　I love you so much!"

Mikhail hugs me.

Gaius grinds his teeth against the edge of .......

"Hmm, heh, hmm."

"So you, what are you mad at me for?"

"No, no, no, no!　Ha-ha-ha!　You've never done that to me!"

""""What?"""

Dantalion appears behind Gaius and Nuk.......

"Gaius-sama, please ...... be ...... honest ......."

"Don't stand behind me all of a sudden!　You'd be surprised!"

Dantalion leaves with a snap.

He says, with a slack-jawed look on his face.

"Excuse me,...... but I'm feeling ...... a thick ...... aura of rottenness,...... and I'm just... ......"

"What kind of rotten aura are you talking about?" "I'm in the middle of a strategy meeting, so get away from me."

"Master Gaius, ...... it's not good ...... to be stubborn, is it?"

"Well, that's ...... well ......"

"Relax and ...... relax, because it won't ...... hurt. ......"

"What the hell are you talking about?

Giggling, Gaius pushes Dantalion.

Meanwhile, the members of the Empire were looking gloomy.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Anti ....... ......."

"What's the matter, boys?"

The silver-haired young man, Anti, is surrounded by other female students who are members of the empire.

"We're slowing you down, Anti-sama. ......"

"If the ability values are averaged out, then Anti-sama's status will be lowered."

"Even though they are all strong opponents, ...... we will cause trouble for them. ......"

It is true that among the members of that group, the anti-personnel are the most expensive.

He is the only one who will be blamed for the averaging.

"What are you guys looking so gloomy?

"""" e......? """"

With a serious face, he looks over at the members of the empire.

"I've never thought of you as a liability," he says.

"But, however, ...... we will lose if we continue as we are now."

"Then, Master Anti, the son of the emperor, will be the most blamed for the defeat, even though it was our fault."

Phew," says Anti with a sigh.

"Don't be silly, boys. Don't be silly, you guys.　I'm the team leader. Your failures are my full responsibility.

"""" such a thing ......""""

"The success of the team is shared by all, and the failure of the team is the responsibility of the leader. That's what it means to be a leader in an organization.

So," Antti says emphatically.

"There is no shame in losing. I admire your courage to face those monsters without running away. You are indeed proud members of the Empire.

"""" Mr. Anti ......!

The girls burst into tears and hugged Anti.

"Let me show you what I'm talking about. Let's show them how we, the empire, fight with pride!

""""Yes......!

The students, who had been demoralized by Anti's pep talk, seemed to be cheered up.

"That's just what I expected from Anti, he's a great leader!"

"Of course. I'm the man or woman who will eventually lead the empire. ......

Looking closely, I saw that Anti's knees were shaking.

He was probably hiding his nervousness in front of his subordinates.

I like this guy for his sense of responsibility and perseverance.

"Anti, turn your back a little."

"?　What is it?"

"Tei."

Zubu...... and I jabbed my finger into Anti's shoulder.

"Ohhhhhhhhhh!"

He jumps up with a startlingly loud voice.

"What are you doing?

"I was just trying to relieve some tension. I was pressing on a pressure point."

"What is ...... at all?　You're right, it did help me relax. And I feel strangely light ......."

The anti-socials turn their shoulders.

Well, this is not so much of an injustice.

"I'm sorry, Julius. For making you feel better. I thank you."

"Don't worry about it. What's the point if we don't fight each other when we're ready?"

Hoo ...... and the antagonist says coolly.

"Of course. Don't try to help me. That would be an insult to us.

"Oh, yeah. I'll fight as hard as I can, no matter who it is."

"But no killing. I mean, I'll do my best, but not to the point of killing you, so please do me a favor.

And so, on the second day of the school competition, the afternoon competition began.
