Announcer: Next up is, Romeo from Elune vs Cecily from Zengoku!

--- Chapter 97 ---

Cecily: You’re going down, Romeo was it? Doesn’t matter.

Romeo: Ouch, such harsh words from the woman about to lose.

Cecily: It seems we are both confident in our skills. This should be more entertaining than I had thought.

Romeo: Do you know that Elune has a group of skilled mages that perform scouting, espionage, and the like?

Cecily: No, and I don’t really care either.

Romeo: Well you should as I’m on that team. Normally the team is S ranks and higher only, but they made an exception for me.

Cecily: Is that so?

Romeo: Yup, so I won’t hold back because my Amelia is watching. Amelia! I’m sorry! I have to use my boyish charm on another woman! I hope you can forgive me!

Amelia lowers her head in embarrassment, Elias turns his head and laughs at her quietly.

Cecily: Boyish charm? Who would fall for that haha!

Romeo draws his sword with a smile.

Romeo: Listen, look around.

Cecily looks at the crowd, a lot of women seem to swoon for him. She looks confused.

Romeo: My arcana, Lovers Aura is always active. Women without arcanas are just naturally attracted to me and would do anything for me if I asked.

Cecily: That arcana… Is useless against me! While I admit it is a strong ability, but I have an arcana, so all you have is that sword!

Romeo: And that’s all I need.

He says with a smile. He unsheaths the blade and dashes in at an incredible pace

Cecily: So quick!

Romeo stabs forward, slicing her arm slightly, keeping the blade a centimeter in her body.

Cecily: What the! Heh, why didn’t you aim for something better like the head or chest haha!

Romeo: Because it’s not necessary, I already won.

Cecily: Right, a little paper cut like that-

Her eyes go wide. The blade is glowing a dull red.

Romeo: My blade while even slightly piercing the flesh of someone seals their arcana.

Her body stands at ease.

Romeo: I apologize, but can you forfeit.

Cecily: Of course, anything for you. I forfeit.

He removes the blade and she blinks her eyes back into reason. And shock runs through her body.

Announcer: And that makes two forfeits in a row! How incredible! What a scary power indeed!

Cecily: You!

Romeo: I told you, I can’t look bad in front of Mrs. Amelia. If I can do something that is.

Cecily has an angry look, and storms off the stage. Romeo looks into the crowd, smiles, and returns to the room. In the stands, Elias turns to face Ame.

Elias: You know, I don’t think he’s joking around anymore.

Ame: Yah.

Announcer: OK! Next up is Schneli from academy vs. -

The rumbling of papers is heard as if he is rereading and checking his roster.

Announcer: Uh, Super Ultimate Mega Hero Godslayer The 3rd from academy! Is that his real name?
