War in the park arc
Chapter 68: Qualifying for the Park Battle
“Zero ni-sama, it starts today.” {TN: It seems like Sophie uses ni-sama rather than ni-san so I’ll use that from now on}
“Yeah”
Sophie told me this at school the next day.
“Are you and Shana starting tomorrow?”
“Yes”
“Mmm”
“Good luck”
“Please do your best too, Zero ni-sama.”
“Good luck”
“Thank you”
What was about to begin was the battle within the school. And today, after school, I have my first match.
“But I’m glad I didn’t have to fight you guys in the qualifiers.”
“That’s true”
“Mmm”
In the qualifying round for the park battle, we don’t fight against people in the same class so that match-fixing won’t occur. However, when the top 16 players are decided and the final matches are held, it’s completely random and you can be matched up against anyone at any time.
“Are you going home first?”
“Do you think I’ll go home first?”
“I don’t think so”
“I’ll be waiting”
“OK”
As the park war approaches, many people are in the practice area, so I haven’t practiced magic with Claudia recently. I asked Sophie if she would go home first, but she didn’t seem to see the point.
“I don’t want Zero ni-sama to get any strange insects on him.”
“Ahaha…”
I think it’s Sophie and Shana who are more likely to get sticked to. There are people trying to get attached to them right now.
“Sophia-san!”
“Yes? What is it? I don’t want you to call my name in such a familiar way?”
“I’m sorry! Adolfo-san. If you don’t mind, would you like to have lunch with me?”
“I’m sorry. I’m already booked for lunch.”
“If so, what about tomorrow?”
“I’m booked fully for lunch.”
“If so, after school …”
“By the way, all my after-school schedules are filled.”
“Ah … I see …”
And the one who talked to Sophie left after glancing at me. Sophie and Shana have good family backgrounds, good faces and good grades so they often receive such invitations, however, they drive them away with cold attitudes every time. But this one wasn’t that cold. There was once a guy who called her Sophie without permission. At that time, Sophie unusually lost her temper. She even used magic to threaten him in the classroom. From that day on, it was forbidden to call her “Sophie” in the class.
And the next time someone was refused, they would think of asking me to mediate. I know this because I had a good looking sister in my previous life. But now there’s a difference. The only time she leaves me is when I go to the bathroom, so they don’t get a chance to talk to me about it at all. Some people try to tell me when I’m in the bathroom, but I refuse. I can’t talk about it at length in the bathroom, so it’s just not happening. Some girls do try to talk to me, just like Sophie was worried about. But Sophie responds before I can speak, so I end up not saying a word.
“I’ll start class ~”
When the teacher said that, the class started, so everyone went back to their seats. After school came sooner than I expected.
“Zero ni-sama! Please do your best!”
“Yes, Yes”
Few people come to see the qualifiers after school. At most, a few friends come to see it.
“I’m looking forward to working with you” (Zeros)
“Oh, nice to meet you”
The other person was a man, probably older. I spoke in honorifics for the time being. Oh, is this person good at close combat? he has a practice sword.
“Then Start!”
Clang!
“I give up…”
“That’s it!”
When I hit the opponent’s practice sword, a good sound was heard and the practice sword flew into the air. I then put my practice sword on his neck, and the other party gave up. My first round of the qualifiers ended without any problems.
By the way, the next day, Sophie and Shana’s matches were at different times, so I watched both of them. And just like me, they won in no time at all.
And after fighting in the qualifying round almost every day, it didn’t take long to find the 16 candidates for the final round.
