Chapter 58 Joan of Arc
At the fourth round of the competition, Jedan's flashback. Jedan thought of a girl. It was an image of himself losing to that group of kids. He was lying on the ground easily. There were trees and areas created by fierce fighting. The enemy had many people, but it wasn't because he was ganged up on that he lost. It was because the leader of that girl was a girl. She had short golden hair that reached her shoulders. Golden eyes with bangs had a flag inside her eyes. She wore a black ring. She used a spear as a weapon. She walked past Jedan who had fallen. Jedan who was lying on the ground shouted and asked. His body was completely defeated. Blood was flowing all over his body. He opened his mouth to ask, "What's your name? The one who uses the spear, number 1434. Can you tell me your name...!!?" The child stopped walking and turned to assess Jedan who was lying down. There was a child standing to the side who was preparing to draw a sword to strike Jedan.
The child in front stopped him first. The child standing to the side didn't draw his sword, indicating that the person who stopped him was the leader. The golden-haired woman walked closer. Jedan then looked down at Jedan. "If you want to get revenge, remember my name. My name is Joan of Arc. But there probably won't be a next time. According to what I think, if I keep winning, I'll meet many people who are better than me. Even though you see me like this, there are still people who are better than me. So if you want to fight me again, keep winning. Then the two of us will definitely have a chance to fight. If you want to get even, keep winning." Jedan lost consciousness. Since hearing that child's name, he was satisfied to remember it forever.
Back to the present, Jedan shook his head. "No, there are still children here who are so good that I can't even imagine how they trained." Riku tried to stand up, but couldn't. His legs were almost broken from the fight just now. With Jedan, Riku turned to look at Tanner who was lying on the ground, sighed, and sat down. "I can't fight anymore. I give up." The magic light took Riku and disappeared. Tanner said he gave up. The magic light disappeared. Jaden smiled happily in his heart. «Great, just one more to win. Just one more to win. Just one more victory. That Akira was beaten by Masaru, so it wouldn't be strange to say that I'm winning now. Hahahahaha. This time I'll win. » While Jaden was very happy that just one person would win, he had underestimated Akira.
Jaden walked over to Cai Hong who was watching and stopped in front of him, looking at his friend who was watching him fight without doing anything. Cai Hong smiled at him and raised his fist to ask Jaden to clash. "You're really good. You deserve it." Jaden was a little embarrassed. He used his right fist to clash with Cai Hong's fist. "It's easy. I've told you before. I'm good too. Just one more enemy and the two of us will win. Be happy. Hehe." Both of them put down their fists and smiled at each other. Gin seemed to be happy because the two of them predicted that they would definitely win. Just one more victory. Jaden was about to sit down when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching the two of them. Jedan quickly turned to the sound of footsteps. Thu... thud... thud... thud. The sound of footsteps seemed unhurried, and Akira's body appeared walking in. Akira smiled and leaned against the tree. Jedan prepared to run and deal with it because he had the last opponent he had to eliminate.
Akira, who had finished sitting down, raised his hand to stop him before Jedan ran over. "Calm down. Take a break. You just fought. Take a break and recover before fighting. It's not too late." Cai Hong stood up and walked to stand beside Jedan. "What should we do? Do you want us to fight together?" Jedan shook his head because he had to rest and use up a lot of energy from the continuous fighting. "Let's take a break. When I'm no longer tired, we can start fighting one on one. At least that guy offered, so I have to fulfill his needs." Jedan smiled like a winner. Akira looked confused and smiled. "Would it be better if we didn't come together? Even though I look like this, I'm quite good. ""Let's fight one on one, Akira?" Tedan challenged. Akira nodded. "Sure, tomorrow is fine. I want to be in perfect condition." Akira accepted the challenge. Jedan sat down. Cai Hong followed. The three of them looked at each other.
Time passed until night. Jedan and Cai Hong looked at Akira who was sleeping soundly on the floor. Akira didn't show any signs of anxiety that he would lose to both of them as if he had planned something. The two looked at each other. Jedan walked over to lie down behind the tree, letting Cai Hong watch over Akira. Jedan wanted to rest. Time passed by. Cai Hong started to feel sleepy. Jedan who had slept well woke up and told Cai Hong to go to bed. But Cai Hong shook his head. "Go to bed. When you're in perfect condition, you'll never lose, right? I can sleep in the morning. So let's prepare for our victory. This kid is suspicious, so he just didn't sleep. If you can win, It means that we will get a full night's sleep. "Jedan didn't forbid it. Then we went to sleep. Time passed until almost morning.
Akira woke up, yawning. "Good morning. Did you get a good night's sleep?" Cai Hong went to wake up Jade. Jade slowly opened his eyes and fell asleep. Jade got up to warm up his body to keep it stable so he could fight without fail. "Aren't you afraid of being ambushed by us?" Akira smiled. "It seems that my analysis is correct. Jade, who just fought, should rest and let Cai Hong take his place, but instead, he challenged me to a one-on-one fight. At first, I thought it was a trap, but as time passed, I understood immediately. "Akira secretly turned to look at Cai Hong.
Jade started to turn pale. "What do you understand?" Akira nodded and walked over to sit against a tree and look at Jade. "Maybe because Cai Hong couldn't fight anymore because he was injured, right? If there was another reason, it would be because Cai Hong wasn't good at fighting, so he let you fight instead. It could be something like this. When the capable representative can fully recover, it will be considered that you, Jade, have definitely won. If you are not at your best, Jade might lose. Therefore, I dare to challenge you one on one instead. "Jade smiled. "It's true that there are some wounds, but they don't have that much effect. The reason I want to fight one on one is because I'm not good at team fighting. Strength is the best. No matter how many tricks you use, as long as you are better than others' tricks, that's enough. And this child is weaker than me. I'm sorry that you had to lose. Because you let me fully recover without starting a fight like this, your chances of winning will immediately decrease. And you who lost to Masaru but beat Masaru, do you understand what I mean?" Because Masaru lost to Jade, he thought that he would definitely win against Akira.
Akira nodded. "That's right. It's true. I'm the one who lost to you, Masaru. So sad. "Akira smiled and raised his right fist to Macho for Jedan. "The strength must come first, the rest are just bonuses. "Akira put his hand down. "Sit down and rest for a while. I don't want to listen to your two losing excuses. "Jedan was a little angry and sat down because Akira had no fear when he heard Masaru's name. "A kid who was kicked by Masaru alone dared to talk to me like that? "Akira smiled shyly. "It's true that it might be like that, but I was ganged up on two to one, how could I win?" Jedan smiled. "But from what I saw, it was more like you were fighting Masaru one to one." Jedan denied the story.
Akira nodded shyly. "Don't worry, I've trained myself a lot since I lost to Masaru. Now I'm better than I was then, so don't gang up on me two to one. I'll show you the skills I've trained since losing to Masaru." Jade smiled, thinking that Akira was joking. "With you, there's no need for one-on-one." Akira closed his eyes to rest them, not answering Jade.
Time passed slowly until it was noon. The bracelet showed up on the radar. Akira looked at it and put it away. He stood up. Jaden looked at Akira and asked where he was going. Akira said, "I'm going to get the bracelet. Do you mind?" Jaden nodded. "Go. Because if you win against them, you'll have to find ten more. Plus, the bracelet is nearby. And the other kids have already withdrawn. So, there's no problem. Please go." Akira started walking towards where the bracelet was, without seeing the two kids. Akira, who was looking at the map, arrived and picked up another bracelet and walked back to the original place. Jaden, who was sitting guarding, saw Akira walk out. Cai Hong woke up a little sleepily and looked at Akira. Both of them were careless with each other, showing their trust in each other. Jaden sat down and waited in the same place. Akira sat down in the same place, waving to Cai Hong. "Did you have a good night?" Cai Hong shook his head. "I had a bad dream," Akira stopped waving and sat quietly as A's food appeared in front of him and he started eating.
