Act 2

Two days later, it was time for the first match of the combat tournament.

“It’s finally time for the Imperial Swordsmanship Tournament, now known as the Imperial Combat Tournament! The rules have been changed this year, and the use of magic is allowed! Around half of the participants are mages!” The host’s voice clearly resounded through the arena, amplified by wind magic. Although the opening ceremony had been extremely formal, the tone of the actual event was much more relaxed, perhaps because it was meant to be entertainment. “The conditions for defeat are the same as every year: being unable to continue fighting, being knocked out of bounds, surrendering, and the referee’s judgment. However, this year there’s an additional condition—the destruction of your amulet!”

I picked up the intricate metalwork hanging from my neck. It was a mithril amulet that would protect the wearer from a limited amount of magical damage that had been given to me by the tournament administrators. When it reached that limit, it would make a sound and let out a bright light as it was destroyed, announcing your defeat. It was essentially a protective charm the same as in my previous world. Supposedly they would prevent casualties, but I wondered how effective they would really be.

“Now, allow me to introduce the combatants in our opening match! First, we have the son of the leading magic scholar Count Lamprogue, the prodigy Seika Lamprogue!” I stepped onto the area platform to roaring applause. My match was the very first in the tournament. I wasn’t sure if that was fortunate or not. “Participating on the recommendation of Lodonea Imperial Magic Academy, we’re starting off with a mage! He took down an elder newt at the young age of eleven and got the third-highest score on the academy entrance exam! He doesn’t use a sword or even a wand—just what sort of fight will this unusual combatant show us?!”

I looked around at the audience. The oval-shaped arena was surrounded by tiered spectator seating that stretched high into the sky. It was overflowing with people. Yifa and Amyu were in there somewhere, but there was no way I could see them from where I was.

“His opponent hails from the Garz Mercenary Band! Known as the Swift Mad Dog, it’s Dennis Regan!” Climbing onto the other side of the platform was a slender eighteen or nineteen year old man. He wore leather armor and had a sword at his hip and a shield on his left arm. He also had a real nasty look on his face. “He may be a simple swordsman, but he’s known as the Garz Mercenary Band’s best! His speed is even a match for adventurers with the assassin job! He’s a former noble, banished from the family by Viscount Regan for his poor behavior, but he still uses the family name! Is he trying to make them mad?!”

“Hey there, rich kid.” The swordsman named Dennis spoke to me. “I get to kick noble brat’s ass first thing. Lucky me.
