RPG chapter 35

35　Brawl

Anyway, the selection meeting is reaching the climax。

Since it seems like the second trial would decide everything, the trial will continue until the number of the remaining spot of the Twelve Apostles is reached

In other words, it won’t end until there are 10 people remained

「Nyahahahaha! Me and Onii-chan are the strongest!!」

The one who rampaged the most in the brawl was my sister Selen

Wielding her prided weapon, the gigantic iron pole, she homerun’d the surrounding rivals one by one

That makes me wonder “how much power that small body has?”

She sent a normal-looking person flying high on the sky, but her breathing was not disturbed in the slightest

Does she have infinite stamina?

「My onii-chan is also the strongest! Holy Wisdom Art is invincible!」

Is that the reason of that high tension?

「Knowing that her brother is the country’s strongest, she is really happy, huh?」

「Aren’t ya being adored, onii-san?」

From behind, the big and small combo of Gashi and Seki said to me

These guys too seems to have learned how to fight against the elite guards and are steadily getting victory

「You guys are still fighting against the guards?」

「It can’t be helped, right? The majority of people remaining in the second trial are the guards, you know? We have to fight against them, like it or not」

「But when we tried fighting against them, they unexpectedly lack actual combat experience. We managed to fight back using surprise attacks」

For Gashi and Seki who live in the slum, brawling is their forte

On the other hand, the member of the elite guards only know about matches with proper rules so it’s easy to lead them by the nose

「……even so, there are opponents that we absolutely don’t want to approach」

「First is sister-san, right? Next is surely those two……?」

Those two?

Gashi and Seki are looking at another direction

Wondering what’s with them, I also look at that direction……。

A heated, violent fight was taking place in this plaza

「Jira is mineeeeeeeee!!」 (Saraka)

「Stop jokinggggggggg!!」 (Forte)

Forte and Saraka

The fellow princesses from different tribes, also the members of the elite guards, are having a violent one-on-one fight!?

「Jira’s strength is the real deal! If I can win him over, the position of our Hanuma Tribe will skyrocket! I will absolutely make him mine!」

「Stop kidding! That person belongs to no one! You who don’t have any respect to a strong man don’t have the qualification to be near him!」

They are quarrelling while exchanging blows

「Shut up! Do you even have that qualification you are talking about!? You are the same as me after all! You approach him to win him over, right!?」

「Don’t lump me with you, you idiotic monkey! I approach him is purely for the old favor! And respect! Absolutely without any impure intention like you!」

「Stop acting like a good girl! That’s why I hate you!」

「I also hate you!!」

A shock wave bursts from the impact

Its power can even reach here

Their fighting spirits are awesome

If you carelessly get close, you will be sent flying. Therefore everyone tries to not approach them as much as possible

「That is amazing, as expected of the clash between the pseudo-strongest characters of the elite guard?」

「Pseudo-strongest?」

What’s with that complicated wording?

「The strongest person of the elite guard is always Grey Ryuuga-sama. Wartaiga-sama is at the same level, and continued by the third rank and below」

「Oh」

Those people also belong to the elite guard, huh?

「Grey Ryuuga-sama and Wartaiga-sama are special cases. Who is the strongest among the remaining members is up for debate. Recently, the most plausible candidates for the semi-strongest are the two princesses from different tribes. It’s a clash between those two. And it’s amazing, isn’t it?」

Seki really knows everything

A good explainer

However, Forte and Sakara owned that much power, huh?

Frankly speaking, it’s not surprising

In the original 『Beast Fantasy 4』, those girls occupy the third and fourth rank of the Twelve Apostles

The first and second rank have been decided early, so of course they would attract attention the most

「……However, it’s overshadowed by sister-san’s rampage, isn’t it?」

「…………」

　……eh?

Certainly, the presence of Selen who have been sending 1 people flying every second is really strong

Forte and Saraka’s fight is surely amazing, but they have been continuing their one-on-one fight, so it’s like they are secluding themselves……。

「Jira must be mineeee!」 (Saraka)

「Wrong! Jira is mine!」 (Forte)

　……。

What about my opinion?

「How about you, Jira? Is it fine for you to stay like this?」

「n?」

Rei, who has defeated another opponent, came back

Perhaps due to his character, he is the one who fight the most among my friends

「The enemy this time is equal……so I need Jira’s recovery」

「Okay」

Chanting the full heal magic <Mehorazan>, the injuries on Rei’s body quickly disappear

「That is sly, isn’t it?」 (Gashi)

「Sly!」 (Seki)

Gashi and Seki protest against the use of recovery magic

I feel like I understand

「Is it really sly? Fighting is to use everything that one can use. Do you think his Majesty the Emperor is short-sighted to not accept that?」

「That is perhaps true, but……!?」

「If my friend Jira can use recovery magic, we can rely on it and fight without caring about the pacing. It’s a big advantage. It’s an indispensable strategy for us who are not buffed by Beast Aura, don’t you think so?」

「Is it right……!? Jira! Heal me too!」

Gashi was won over

Well, it’s fine though

But, what does he mean?

「Jira, you haven’t fought even once after overwhelming the mage trio at the first half, is it fine for you?」

Oh

「Isn’t it fine? For some reason, no one challenged me after that」

「Well, if you show them such an absurd fight, no one would want to challenge you. There is no one who wished for their own death」

That’s why I can peacefully spend my time in this scene of carnage

「The emperor only said we would win if we could survive. If I can pass without doing anything then it’s better to do so, isn’t it?」

「His Majestic the Emperor is directly watching you. It’s better to show your eagerness. If you don’t do it here then it may affect you in the future」

It’s certainly correct

「That’s why I brought this guy to you. Make him a victim for your victory」

Rei said something terrible

Looking closer, there is a vagabond-like youth behind him

「He is, to me!?」

「When I was fighting over there, he came to ask me to make a connection. I thought he wanted to challenge you so I brought him here」

He expressly did it to break the peace!?

The youth stares at me without hesitation

「W, what do you want!?」

I show him a strong fighting spirit, but he doesn’t seem to be attacking, or rather……。

He suddenly became teary

「What!?」

He said

「Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to fight you. I just want to say a word of gratitude……」

「？」

I, did I do something?

「In the first trial, you saved the life of many drop-outs. Among them is my little bro……!」

「huh?」

「I wanted to at least thank my brother’s benefactor so I didn’t left the selection. The level of the imperial capital is high after all. No matter how hard I try, I’m not an opponent for a peerless hero like you」

The person who is saying is clearly having a presence of a master

After bowing, he left

「Surely, someone with a spirit and technique like you are befitting to be the Twelve Apostle. I pray for your good luck」

「A, yes. Thank you」

We dumbfoundedly looked at the man’s back as he left

「……」

「……this is not a place to accumulate virtue」 (gashi)

I am sorry

With that calm atmosphere, the battle royale of the second trial continued

And finally, the final ten is decided
