56: The sword Tournament 2

~ Several days later ~

" Excuse me, can you repeat that again?" Rimuru asked Anos in a very annoyed voice.

Anos with his usual voice said , " I'm going to use that to help lay "

Rimuru help her head as if enduring a massive headache and grumbled,

" You better be glad that I'm your teacher for even making me do this "

" Ladies and Gentleman today we shall all be able to witness the greatest duel in history of Delsgade" the announcer excitedly said hyping up the crowd that was gathered to watch the finals of the Sword tournament.

The coliseum which was built to house more than 500 hundred was packed full with visitors. And if that isn't enough this match is now broadcasted for the entire Delsgade to see.

The popularity of this match has reached this absurd degree due to one reason. Anos Voldigod is a half -blood in this final match.

The nobles who had nothing but disdain for him made sure to use their connections to show the world how he is put in his place. And the commoners cheered for him as he just became their idol for being able to win the last matches without even breaking a sweat.

" And now from the left side we have a person who is representing the Demon king academy Anos Voldigod " said the announcer as Anos walked towards the stage.

The commoners began to cheer loudly. Especially the Anos fan club girls who even sang a lowly song. And besides them Isabela and her husband also cheered for their son. Rimuru who had to accompany them today as a bodyguard gave him a peace sign , when anos looked at them.

Anos felt a bit of relief when he saw Rimuru's look of reassurance . Due to yesterday's incident he is still protective of his parents safety. even thinking about it made his blood boil in anger.

~ the first day of the tournament~

"Ladies and gentleman, I welcome you to this year's annual sword tournament. Today we shall witness the rise of many new talents who would show their shine and the fall of many veterans who would be outmatched by the new bloods. Well then without any further interruptions from me let's start this tournament.

For our first match from my right side we have Kurt Ludwell representing the Lognorth Demon Sword Association. He has the record of winning the Demon Sword Tournament three decades ago, earning himself the title of Dilhade's strongest swordsman." the announcer said, making everyone hyped up.

"Wait, isn't miss Emilia's family name, also Ludewell."one of the students who came to watch the match asked.

"Yes, don't you know that person miss Emilia's older brother. I heard that he is going to succeed his father very soon. "said another.

Emilia, who heard all of this, couldn't help but smile arrogantly. with her brother here this year's championship would surely belong to the Royals. if he can win it one time he could win it again.

"On my left side we have Anos Voldigoad representing the Demon king academy. He has no record as this will be his first time participating in the tournament. " the announcer said, making everyone look at the left entrance. but no matter how much they looked they couldn't see anos coming. as for what anos was doing,

"Where the hell are those two "asked anos aloud. He is just near the entrance waiting for his father and rimuru who said that they will give him a big surprise for this match. Just as he was about to contact rimuru a teleportation circle lit up near him and rimuru and Gusta appeared in a flash.

Both of them looked like they were caught up in an explosion since they had black markings all over them.

"Sorry for the wait, we just got too excited in the workshop,"Rimuru said with an awkward smile. due to her age she rarely gets excited over something. but this time this project that Gusta proposed made her quite interested. so as usual she and him went overboard.

looking at his father anos saw that he is carrying a magic sword in his hand. and just from a glance he could tell that this sword could be as dangerous as his Venuzdonoa. but unlike his Venuzdonoa this sword is still young and hasn't been awakened yet. For the sword to be as dangerous as Venuzdonoa it must awaken the power of the law it is given . but don't underestimate just because it isn't awakened. Just having such potential is enough for those god's to go to war for it. as in all of this world's history there have been only two swords that have been awakened. each of them were wielded by the hero and demon king respectively.

and most importantly both of those swords were made by Rimuru herself. and looking at his fathers face it seems this time he was the one doing the heavy work as almost every part of his body is injured.

Rimuru gave Gusta a look and nudged him. he nodded and walked towards Anos and said,

"You know Anos when you told us you were going to participate in the sword tournament me and your mother was so happy. you know for a commoner such as us this is a big deal . So for this occasion I decided to make a magic sword just for you. I also had Rimuru join me since she is more knowledgeable in swords than us. so after 3 days of work we finally made it. a sword that represents our love for you " saying so he handed the sword to Anos.

Anos showed a rare look of astonishment when he held this blade. He could feel it. the passion and dedication his dad used to make this. this sword here embodies his love and pride towards his son

"Go son, show them what you're made of. " at Gusta's words Anos regained his prideful look and said confidently,

"don't worry father i will win this tournament for sure " saying that he walked towards the entrance to finish off his opponent. It looks like it is time for the world to show his powers as he is quite motivated right now.

" sigh he just had and go do that " Rimuru said while smiling wryly at how Anos defeated his opponent in just one move.

[ Well this result is as expected ] came Ciel's voice.

Rimuru couldn't help but nod her head in agreement. True Anos was too motivated when he entered the arena. so this result is expected from him. but even so ,

' he just had to go on bragging about it' this what worries Rimuru as more people begin to notice that Anos's sword is special. Especially those nobles. She wouldn't even be surprised if some guys come and kidnap Gusta to make him tell them how to make such an excellent sword. and if that isn't enough Emilia also seemed to want some revenge for her brother. well she won't be foolish enough to attack Anos's family as it would involve me. so she will do something when we are in class.

'Well anyway I should keep a close eye on those nobles. maybe they would attack Gusta tonight. hmm it would seem i would have to keep watch for tonight. '

~few hours later ~

"Ok, that seemed to all of them "said Rimuru as she knocked the last guy unconscious. Behind her there were 20 men who were also unconscious. These guys are just some goons who were tasked to kidnap Gusta and interrogate him.

" Well, let's give them Avis later when he comes by to report. "saying so she used a teleportation skill to teleport them to a prison cell under her house. don't ask why she even has that. and just as she was about to go home she suddenly felt it. A huge amount of killing intent. and what's more she recognised this killing intent. Anos

without any hesitation she spread her wings and flew towards that place with lightning speed. she just hoped that Anos wouldn't go around destroying the city.

arriving there she saw that Anos had used an isolation magic to isolate a part of the park. looking around she saw Isebela and the Unitarian girls standing there looking at the place where the isolation magic is with worried eyes.

descending down RImuru first looked at their situation and found some cuts and burn marks on their uniforms. As for Isebela, she looked mostly unharmed. just scared as she was holding the magic sword close to her chest very tightly.

sighing in relief she approached them and asked for the details. after hearing the details she couldn't facepalm. She underestimated how foolish Emilia could be.

" Whatever, I will clean this up. you guys go home for now. If you are too scared, head to Anos's house for now. I will teleport you all after this is over. " At her words they all nodded and left the park.

Rimuru first created a magic circle to restore this place and used another to make everyone who came here to investigate forget about what they were about till they leave this area. after all this is done she walked towards the place where Anos dragged emilia to.

After a couple of minutes later the isolation spell was lifted revealing Anos and Rimuru. behind them there was a now changed Emilia. her earlier long purple hair is now turned with the edition of her eyes.

"Let's go home , your mother is worried about you"to RImuru's words Anos nodded and teleported away.

After he left Rimur turned to Emilia and said softly, " I hope you repent for what you did emilia. life isn't all about status and blood after all " saying so she also left a crying Emilia.

~at the present ~

"Now from my left we have Lay Grandsley, also a student from the Demon king academy. "the crowd cheered again. Lay also walked towards the stage.

As both of them arrived near their designation spots the referee arrived and said loudly.

"both of you shall start as soon as this coin falls down to ground. remember if your magic sword or the bracelet in your hands are destroyed the other will be declared winner immediately. "

saying so he threw a coin into the air and left immediately. His 20 years of refereeing tells him that he would better get out of there.

Anos and Lay didn't bother to look at the fleeing referee as they were busy staring at each other. As soon as the coin fell on the ground both of them unsheathed their swords and dashed towards each other.
