177 Lesson 177

Upon reaching the training ground, Ataru prepares the equipment and Dranes selects the participants.

"A, Lord Atal, what can I say about this one...... that, I'm sorry!

Balim comes with expressions and attitudes like sorry to the Ataru who are preparing. Speaking of the original, this happened because he told me he wanted me to follow him. At least that's what Barim himself thought when he came near Atal and lowered his head deeply.

"Don't worry about it. It was my decision to follow you and to accept this duel. Besides, you might get some good stuff."

I'm glad I got something I can't think of myself, and Atal is looking forward to that.

Caro and Balkias seemed happy that Atal was looking forward to it, and were getting ready for the ride because they had something to think about Dranes again.

Barim backed off with a feeling of anxiety and complexity about how the three of them looked, relieved and thinking about the future.

"Both of you, I'll just say one thing... don't kill me, okay?

When Atar turned his attention to the knight being chosen by Dranes, he could see in the distance that he was inferior to this one, both in equipment and strength. That's why Ataru's strength threatened to kill him if he mishandled them at all.

"Yes, of course! If we do that, our ratings will go down, and we need to get the winning rewards right."

Nico and smiling and nodding Caro think they should do the same level of manipulation they did against the bandits.

'Hmm, then we need to be careful......'

But Balkias was still unfamiliar with the new equipment, so he cautioned himself not to apply or subtract the force incorrectly.

"... Sounds like it's time"

As Caro said, he begins moving to the center of the training ground with his men chosen by the irritated expression Dranes.

"Shall we go too?... Oh yeah, don't give Barim our backup even if he's wrong, huh? This is going to be the Knights of the Castle versus us us us."

Barim, who was totally going to support the Atals until he was stabbed with a nail by a smiling Atal all the time, shakes his body tightly.

"Ugh, yes. I know."

As a result, my cheeks became tight and I replied.

"Oh man, okay. - Caro, Bal, let's go."

The three of them also travel to the center of the training ground late to the Dranes.

"Are you both ready?

What echoed in the venue was a voice from the referee standing between the opposite Atal and Dranes. This time, it was the captain of a different squad from the Knights' Dranes who took on the judgment. He was chosen because he was older than Dranes and was a man who mottled justice and did not tolerate injustice.

"Doranes, I won't say anything about what happened. Show me your strength. And I'm sorry Lord Adventurer got into so much trouble."

The Knight of Judgement speaks words of encouragement to Draeness, and words of apology to the Athals. The two nodded silently.

"And I want you to be assured that I will never put my shoulders in one of them as long as I serve as referee. If you admit defeat this time, if I admit that no more battle is possible, if everyone on one side faints, the other side wins. … are there any differences between the two sides?

Atal and Dranes nodded at his words as he looked at each face.

"Now for your placement..."

Using the words of the Knight of Judgement as a signal, Atal and Doranes return to their own formation once they turn their gaze away. The training ground is a large circular stage, starting with each team situated at the end of the diagonal line.

When it comes to placement, the Doranes stare strongly at the attars, but the attars just stand reasonably powerless.

"- Introduction!"

At the same time as the word of the referee, Dranez's men run to pop up and head to the Atals.

But Ataru and the others were slowly walking ahead of Caro and Balkias.

"There are ten opponents in all. Perhaps Dranes will come at me, so Caro will deal with me there. I don't mind letting you get some injuries. And Bal... beat the other knights free. Like I said, don't kill me, okay?

Listening to this Atar's instructions, neither of us responded and began to move quickly.

The approaching speed of Caro and Balkias, who finally ran out with one end of their power, far exceeds the speed at which the knight runs, and the three knights, frightened by the movement, unwittingly stop their feet.

"Don't stop!

Seeing it, Dranez exasperates but scolds from the rear, running without slowing himself down.

"First of all, I stopped..."

Ataru, who stood up for a love gun, snapped pompously and quickly shot the bullet into the knight's shoulder and foot, who normally stopped his foot.

"Ugh! Oh, my God!

"Damn, stay!

"Duh, from where!?

All bullets are hit, but the knight wearing full body armor was about as damaging as a shock.

"Pretty good armor... this would do"

Stopped on their feet, the knights, impacted by bullets, are in a perplexing hurry for a method of attack they have never experienced. The armor in the part where the bullet released to them hit him was snagging, and that was the only weakening of his defense.

Atal shoots a penetrating bullet towards it, as he aimed for it.

"Wow!"

The knight, who was running forward to the first scream attacked by pain incomparable to the earlier shock, even Dranes turns his gaze to the Lord of his voice. There was a knight looking around with his shoulders down.

"Wow! Oh, my God. Oh!

The second knight, who screamed the next moment out of sight, holds his foot in pain.

"Ghaaaaaa!

The third person, who kept screaming, was targeted at his shoulders and legs at the same time, and could only speak up to the severe pain coming from two places.

If it was just slashed with a sword, they might have managed to endure it, too, having accumulated training. But I didn't know where the attack came from, what was happening to me, and the unexplained pain that just struck me was breaking their hearts, too.

"Gu, cowardly!

Having returned his gaze from the knight, Dranes decides that the cause of this situation would be Atal, and tries to glance at him.

"You don't know. You tell your enemies to wait and explain once they've made an attack?

But Caro's sword strikes Dranes as he asks in a quiet voice there.

"Damn, why so much!

Why are you so close, this girl and herself would still have been farther apart? Why can you attack with so much strength when you're a girl? Why so many overlaps, but Dranez had managed to take Caro's attack with his own sword that protruded reflexively.

"... an adventurer, a woman, a wolf, you can't guess the power of a heel like that, and you look low, so this is what happens."

Cold-eyed Atal grated his gun and watched the Caros fight. It was already a sign of intent that my role was over.
