The Savior of the Villainess in a Romance Novel

26. Mikaris and Ronia

The tournament of comprehensive ability evaluation continued.

It was the last turn in the first match, so I was decided to be the first match of the round of 16.

Needless to say, he won flawlessly. I can’t even remember the other person’s name. Even if we talk, ‘On the topic of commoners!’ Will I hear more than this?

And the next match… .

It is a confrontation between Ronia and Mikaris. We had a strong feeling that we had become close to each other, but to meet at a tournament. There will be no coincidence like this.

well, anyway.

Now I’m in the bleachers. to see them play.

-The long-awaited second match of the Round of 16! It’s a showdown between the Marquis Merian and the Countess Cardelia!

-There’s nothing more fun than a magic showdown!

-And I heard that it’s lightning and flames? It’s good for synergy, but isn’t flame a disadvantage in terms of confrontation?

-That’s right… . Predict who will win.

I heard gossip. Well, there’s nothing more fun than watching a fight, so I understand. Originally, when there is a fight next door or at school, isn’t it normal for people to go see it right away? And the cheers that filled the arena.

As soon as the commentator’s voice resounded, they entered. A blue curtain began to spread over the arena.

“Hey Ronya, what do you think of the Hound?”

“Suddenly?”

“okay. Hound, do you like it?”

“… … .”

The sunset fell in Ronia’s eyes.

“I want to have it. And that’s only for me.”

“That goes for me too.”

When we were talking to each other,

“start!”

The match started with the referee’s signal.

As soon as the flare signaled the start, Mikaris took the lead.

“Lightning Edge!”

A lightning bolt that flew like a blade, but it wasn’t Ronia who would just watch this. Ronia immediately opened a curtain of fire to defend against Mikaris’ magic.

“Atomic Flare!”

A huge ball of fire started heading toward Mikaris. But the speed of the sphere is too slow. There will be no one in this world who can openly admit this. It seems to be magic to block the front sight.

“Lightning Boost.”

Electricity wrapped around Mikaris’ body and moved in an instant. After that, he immediately started drawing the magic circle.

However, Ronia predicted Mikaris’ movement path and activated the magic circle.

“Flame Upper!”

pillar of fire. It was a basic and simple magic, but it was enough to damage the defenseless Mikaris. However, it seems that Mikaris did not take much damage through the barrier that magicians use by default.

After exchanging magic with each other, breathless tension began to form between Mikaris and Ronia.

At that time, the words that came out of Mikaris’ mouth.

“The Hound… . It’s mine.”

Ronia’s eyes grew cold.

“I can’t give up easily either. Flare Maelstrom!”

Fire rose through the floor and wrapped itself around Mikaris. but… .

“Lightning maximum.”

Quaang! Mikaris surrounded by the electric shock he saw last time easily destroyed the sphere that wrapped around him. Then, with one hand gesture, lightning began to break the arena.

The compatibility is not too good.

Magic is an existence that eats and eats each other or explodes synergy depending on the attribute, and the attribute close to impermanence is electric shock. That said, there are no major weaknesses. A similar property would be the degree of wind.

Continuing, Mikaris’ lightning began to explode while flying Ronia’s flames. Ronia’s attack did not reach Mikaris.

Each other’s level is 4 circles. At first glance, they are on the same level, but even in the same 4 circles, there is a difference in the amount of magic power. Ronia did not give up using this and continued to use flame magic.

Mikaris used lightning magic accordingly.

Quaang! It seems difficult to decide which one’s victory is determined by the clash of each other’s magic. At this rate, in the end, it’s just a game of who loses their mana first.

At that time, Mikaris started drawing a huge magic circle while maintaining the lightning barrier.

“You are serious, Mika!”

“I’m fighting with the hound, but I have to fight properly!”

Ronia also started drawing a huge magic circle in line with Mikaris.

The moment each other’s huge magic circle was drawn, their voices resonated simultaneously.

“Chain Lightning Apocalypse!”

“Inferno Rise!”

Perong! Due to the collision of each other’s greatest magic, a shining magic storm covered the arena.

then after a while The storm disappeared and it was Mikaris who stood up.

“The Hound is mine… .”

The game has come to an end. The winner is Mikaris. Ronia didn’t take much damage, but she fainted because she used up all her magic.

From noble mtl dot com

Their fight, in which magic ran wild, came to an end.

I handed the towel to Mikaris as he came out of the arena.

“You worked hard, Miss Mika.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Mikaris said, wiping sweat and dirt with a towel.

“I won. Is there any prize?”

“A prize?”

“… no.”

Mikaris naturally held out his hand.

“Escort.”

“Ah yes!”

I took Mikaris’ hand and went back to the dormitory.

“Now that I’ve washed, I think I’ll live a little longer.”

“Shall I make some tea? After washing, you should warm yourself up.”

“That would be nice. By the way, do you know how to make tea?”

“I vaguely learned from Mr. Larry.”

“Huh… .”

I started brewing tea. Mikaris, who continues to watch this, seems to be interested in the taste of my tea.

I poured out the carefully brewed tea and handed the cup to Mikaris.

“Try it. You will be amazed.”

Mikaris savored the tea’s aroma and immediately began to drink it.

“… It’s pretty good.”

“Yes? I am good at anything.”

In fact, it’s a special effect… .

I asked Mikaris who was drinking tea.

“By the way, you talked to Lady Ronia every time. What conversation did you have? I couldn’t hear the shouts and the sound of magic because they overlapped… .”

“It was a pointless conversation. Just who will be the owner?”

“What is that… ?”

“It was literally a useless conversation.”

Mikaris continued drinking tea as if nothing had happened. Did you like my car that much? Also the effect of the special.

While admiring the effect of the perk, Mikaris spoke to me.

“Go to Ronya. He’ll probably be waiting.”

“Miss Ronya?”

“okay. You’ll be waiting patiently.”

Ronia is waiting for me? what happened… .

“… Then I will go.”

So, I headed for Ronia just as Mikaris had said.

***

In front of Ronia Cardelia’s visit.

I knocked on the door carefully and said.

“Miss Ronya, it is me. Hound.”

“Oh, come in.”

When I opened the door and entered, Ronia was lying on the sofa with a towel on her forehead.

“Are you feeling okay?”

“I guess I overworked myself. The vertigo won’t go away.”

surely. Originally, I didn’t notice because she had white skin, but Ronia’s face was pale.

“Is it magic deficiency?”

“is it so. Even now, it feels like my eyes are spinning.”

“Is there anything I can do?”

Ronia, who was lying on the sofa, got up quickly.

“Then please sit next to me.”

“yes?”

“Quickly.”

As I sat down on the sofa, Ronia leaned her face on my shoulder.

“I tried. But I lost.”

Did losing to Mikaris really hurt that much? All I can do now is listen to her.

“really… . I wanted to win this fight.”

I comforted her

“are you okay. Opportunity always comes.”

Ronia looked at me without saying a word.

“Miss Ronya?”

At that time, Ronia hugged me tightly.

“Miss Ronya… ?”

“… For now, just stay like this.”

It smells good. The scent that flowed from Ronia’s neck and shoulders seemed to enchant me. This is dangerous for a hot-blooded hound.

“My lady, now… … .”

“Ah yes!”

Ronia hurriedly pushed me away.

“I’m sorry, I stopped not knowing.”

“No, you can. hahahaha… .”

I felt bitterness on Ronia’s face.

“Oh. Look at my sanity, Mr. Hound must be busy preparing for the next tournament, so go back now! I need to get some rest too.”

“Yes. Judging from her pale face, Miss Ronya seems to like resting. Then excuse me.”

***

When I returned to my room, Mikaris asked me.

“Did Ronya say anything else?”

“What do you mean?”

“… no.”

There is something strange about the atmosphere. If I had known this was going to happen, I would have listened intently to the conversation.

I asked Mikaris out of curiosity.

“As expected, did something happen with Miss Ronya?”

“Didn’t you tell me before? Nothing special happened.”

It’s subtle. Every time I bring up the story of Ronia, it gets awkward.

“… … .”

I brought up another story to divert the topic.

“By the way, aren’t you watching the other Round of 16 matches?”

“okay. I think it will be the same no matter who comes up anyway.”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to go see it anyway?”

“There are few cases where someone I can beat comes up. Isn’t that person the 4th duke?”

“… … .”

She’s right.

‘Mikaris also met a difficult opponent.’

The opponent she will face in the quarterfinals is St. Richmond.

He is the eldest son of the Duke of Richmond, a famous archery family of the 4th duke, and the only male protagonist who did not fall for the main character based on the original work that was serialized up to 78 episodes. There, he was consistently active as an assistant.

‘Besides that ability.’

Hawkeye, eyes that see through the truth.

Magic that affects eyes such as hallucinations, fascination, and petrification does not work. The curse didn’t work there, so I said everything.

‘Sir, isn’t it more fraudulent than an eye that sees a crisis?’

It’s a pity there is no Hawkeye in the Perk Shop. Then you might not have seen anything like that in the Screaming Mountains.

I want to keep the past buried in my heart, but as I thought about it, I started scrolling down the perk shop to look for Hawkeye.

“… … .”

there was.

[Hawkeye Package 300 Coins]

‘Why didn’t I see this?

But the price is ambiguous. 300 coins? Seeing that 100 coins are more expensive than the eyes that see the crisis… . I have no regrets.

‘The eye to see the crisis was 200 coins, and the mastery package was 300 coins… .’

If the coin comes in later, should I buy it then?

Hawkeye in the left eye, the eye that sees danger in the right eye. It reminds me of middle school 2 for some reason… . Isn’t this a man’s romance?

As I was looking at the privilege shop, Mikaris called me.

“Hound? Why are you so lost in your thoughts that you don’t even answer?”

“Oh, did you call?”

“okay. I’m going to train now How about you go to training too?”

“Yes. I also have to prepare for the quarterfinals.”

My quarterfinal opponent is… . someone whose name is unknown To be honest, I don’t even need to cry.

‘I remember being a spearman… .’

Well, it’ll be fine if you beat it roughly.
