Part Four

“Hey, knock off that ominous narration!” Jin yelled at me, after he heard me muttering to myself. Since there was a pretty rich culture of novels and plays in this world, such quotations were just as common here as they were in my old world.

By the way, there were many famous works here, similar to Shakespeare’s plays and to opera—and not only that, but anime, manga, and novels as well. I’d have bet anything that the people who’d written them had also been reincarnated from another world.

“You’re not nervous anymore, though, right?”

“Don’t answer me with a question! I was never nervous in the first place!” he huffed, before making his way towards the arena. I thought I might as well go with him, and decided to watch the match from a spot near the entrance.

Once Jin appeared in the ring, the crowd cheered loudly. Only then did I remember that he was one of the favorites to win the tournament. After the cheers died down, another set of loud cheers roared from the opposite direction. The Bandit King had appeared. He walked calmly despite the crowd’s fervor at his appearance, looking thoroughly majestic.

The audience was the most excited they’d ever been due to the much anticipated matchup; they’d been amped up since the previous match. But once the competitors both reached the center of the ring, you could have heard a pin drop.

The referee stepped between them and said something to each of them. They both nodded and then backed away from each other.

“The qualifying round between the Bandit King and Jin...begins now!”

Thus, the match started. The moment the referee called it, he backed away, and the two competitors raced towards each other.

Jin was using a greatsword about a meter and a half long; it was the first time he’d used the weapon. At a glance, it was about twenty to thirty centimeters wide, and seemed to be quite heavy. Judging by the color of the blade, I thought it was probably made of mythril, so it was most likely lighter than it looked.

On the other hand, the Bandit King’s weapon was the same one he’d used in the prelims, but since this one was spotless, I figured he must have several axes just like it in reserve, or else he’d repaired it since then.

The moment the two heavy weapons collided, a loud clang resounded throughout the arena.

“Yaaaaaaargh!”

Jin came out on top. The Bandit King stumbled backwards several steps and quickly tried to reassume his stance, but Jin attacked again before he was able to.

“Take that!” Jin swung his weapon down at full power. Since the Bandit King had not yet regained his footing, he was unable to counter, but still managed to dodge it by stumbling backwards in the nick of time.

Jin’s blow smashed into the stone pavement of the arena, creating a small crater where the Bandit King had been just a moment before.

“Damn it, I missed!” Jin said bitterly.

The attack had been so powerful, I was sure it would’ve been the deciding blow if he’d landed it.
