She Chooses To Destroy the World

Chapter 55: Tournament (5)…

Alice was sitting in the first row of the audience watching the match between the two. She has competed so many times on the field, and now she is sitting in the audience watching, and she still feels a little uncomfortable.

The two in front of them have their own swordsmanship. Arnold is calm, Bennett is quick, Bennett is mainly attacking, Arnold is not leaking, and only attacks when he has full confidence, but when he is attacking, Bennet Te always seems to be able to find a particularly suitable angle to dodge his attack.

Alice looked at it for a while and understood why Philo Knight thought Arnold was not afraid.

Calmness is a good thing, but when you encounter an opponent whose overall strength is stronger than yourself, being too calm is actually not an advantage.

However, the difference between the two abilities does not seem to be that big, it seems that it is only between the first ones, but in comparison, Bennett is better.

Bennett’s sword moves have a little in common with Alice’s usual moves. They are trying to make general moves more concise, but most of Alice’s sword moves are learned from Roma, Bennet The special tricks are more like an improvement on the basis of some classic swordsmanship. The personal style is quite strong, and sometimes some actions that are generally considered to be redundant are added. However, these actions were obviously added to suit his own habits, making his overall tricks appear more coherent and well-rounded.

They came and fought with each other dozens of moves, and they both hit each other a few times, but both sides hit insignificant positions, and the number did not reach the standard of the game. The referee did not call a stop.

Nevertheless, Alice saw that Arnold was already in a decline, perhaps a fan of the authorities, but Arnold himself didn’t seem to think. But time has dragged on for a long time, and he seems to be a little impatient. Alice can see that the expression on his face has changed, but the tricks in her hand are still quite stable, which is really admirable.

Opposite Arnold, Bennett still looked like he was able to do well, and Alice vaguely felt that what Bennett showed at this time might not be his highest level.

On the court at this time, Arnold’s decline became more and more obvious, and Alice could feel that he was about to lose. Sure enough, after three moves, the tip of Bennett’s sword hit Arnold’s throat, and the game was over.

Arnold was obviously very upset, and strode out of the field without paying tribute to his opponent. His expression was a little gloomy, and Alice heard him and the knights in the same group say this:

“I could have won, but it’s a pity that I lost my hand in the middle.”

After hearing this, Alice secretly smiled in her heart. This Arnold really didn’t know anything in his heart. In fact, it wasn’t that he missed, but Bennett’s sword had pushed him to the limit. He might be able to hold it for a while, but he could never win. It was ridiculous that he didn’t feel it himself.

But Alice didn’t say anything, and it was her turn to face Bennett in the next game.

Between the two games, there is a one-hour break. Alice took advantage of this moment to stretch her arms and stretch her legs to avoid cramps when she fights later. Kent came over and greeted her:

“Don’t have too much burden, just do your best. Generally speaking, our chances of winning are quite large.”

Kent’s swordsmanship is not good, but after all he has been trained since childhood, his vision is always accurate. He saw that Bennett’s swordsmanship was quite brilliant, and he felt that Alice’s winning rate against him was not high. Saying this before the game really didn’t raise her breath, but Alice didn’t care about him either. She wanted to see Knight Philo again before the game. She looked into the crowd but did not see him.

“You’re looking for Old Man Philo? He didn’t come.” Kent said, “His maid came to pass a message before, saying that he started a fever in the middle of the night, and although he retreated a little in the morning, he was still feverish. He A sentence came, roughly saying, “Even if the overall strength is slightly different, no one can say the outcome of a single battle.” I think he thinks you might be able to win.”

This sentence feels much better than the one Kent said, or Kent feels that he is wrong and is deliberately looking for supplements. Alice nodded:

“It doesn’t matter, I will win.”

She said so, but in fact she didn’t know how to win. She only knew that she was nervous, or to put it another way, she was excited. Sometimes, these two feelings are difficult to distinguish.

About to face a high-powered opponent, no matter if he wins or loses, he will improve his strength.

Can she win? Alice felt hope was very slim, but it was not impossible.

The game started. At first, both sides were very cautious. But when the blades collided several times, Bennett seemed to relax a little bit, and there was even room to speak to Alice:

“The one who fought with me yesterday is your master? But your swordsmanship is not exactly the same as him. You should have learned it from others… I remember they said that you used to be a mercenary.”

Alice didn’t answer, she just focused on dealing with the opponent’s sword, but Bennett seemed to want to interfere with her in this way, and she kept talking:

“Your master is very good. If he is a teenager, I will definitely not be able to beat him. You are actually not bad. At your age, it is very rare to reach this state. But if you want to beat me, It will probably take more than ten years to grow.”

Bennett made such a judgment, but Alice has fought him until now, but instead feels…she can win.

She didn’t know whether her self-confidence was like that of Arnold, and it would only make people onlookers laugh. She also knew that she seemed to be no better than Bennett, but this feeling became stronger in her heart.

Alice is originally an intuitive person. If she still knows how to use rational thinking, it is basically the result of acquired efforts, rather than the essence of her birth. At this time, the two were fighting fiercely, and she had already given up her rationality and began to use her body’s induction to support her. Years of fighting instinct turned into muscle memory, helping her to catch every attack from the opponent.

When she blocked the opponent’s sword for the seventh time in a row, Bennett laughed:

“Your instinct is very accurate.”

This seemed like an appreciation, but his tone seemed to imply that she was inadequate, relying only on instinct and luck. But he didn’t say this entirely because he owed her mouth, more because he wanted to shake her confidence. He didn’t take Alice seriously, but his actions under his hands gradually became serious. His swordsmanship was originally extremely exquisite, but when he got serious, it reached a rather terrifying level.

Alice ignored what Bennett was talking about, but concentrated on fighting the enemy. Her sword was getting faster and faster, faster and faster. She even felt that her eyes could not keep up with her own hands. She seemed to have blended with the sword. For the sake of oneness, she could feel that there was something faintly showing a breakthrough in the process of fighting Bennett.

Slowly, Bennett stopped talking.

The audience on the court did not all understand swordsmanship, and at this time they also vaguely felt that the situation was slowly changing. They held their breath and stopped making a sound. For a while, only the clang of the swords colliding with each other could be heard on the huge field.

Most of the audience who didn’t understand swordsmanship could only watch the excitement, but at this moment Arnold was sitting in the position where Alice was just sitting, and the shock in his heart was almost beyond words.

If he and Bennett had just appeared with this kind of strength from the beginning, he might be defeated after a few fights, but lovely Lisi could keep up with this rhythm. So, because Bennett’s swordsmanship did not reach this level just now, is it because he is not a qualified opponent?

Arnold looked at the girl several years younger than him on the court, and felt a little awe in his heart.

Alice has no time to pay attention to the audience’s state at the moment, and she has no time to pay attention to Arnold. She has only Bennett in her eyes, and only Bennett’s sword.

She didn’t call Cecilian, but she felt that he was very close to her at the moment, it seemed a bit like the same tone last time, but it was not right. She seemed to have gradually entered an unprecedented state, and everything in front of her suddenly became so clear, as if she was watching with the eyes of a god. In her eyes, Bennett’s movements seemed to slow down, and the sword in her hand was so fast. Blocking his attack is no longer a difficult task, she even has ample time to think about what happened to her at this moment.

Of course, in such a short period of time, it is impossible to understand such a thing.

What happened next seemed untrue. She spotted a gap. Bennett didn’t have time to defend. In other words, he didn’t think it was a position that needed to be defended. But she found out, and out of the sword at a speed that ordinary people couldn’t match.

Everything happened for an instant, and time seemed to have stopped at this second. Alice didn’t even realize what she had done, and the referee had already signaled the end of the game. There was thunderous cheering in the stands, and she didn’t even understand who they were cheering for.

It wasn’t until the referee raised her arm that she realized with hindsight that she had won!

Bennett had put down the sword, and at this moment, there was a conspicuous red mark on his chest, which was left by her sword touching his clothes, which definitely proved her victory.

But so far, Alice is not the number one in the sword fighting event. After lunch, she should play against Arnold. Alice thought of this, and looked at where Arnold was sitting, but found that there was no one there. Arnold had already left at some point.

It doesn’t matter, it’s the same to see you in the afternoon.

It is said that Alice should feel tired after playing for so long, but she is full of energy at the moment, and she is not afraid of anything. If it is not for the time of the game, she really wants to start the second game immediately. Defeat Arnold.

At this time, there was the noise of the crowd a little far away from her, and Alice was a little confused:

“What happened?”

The news came quickly. The commotion over there was because Arnold, who was supposed to play against Alice in the afternoon, abstained early. According to the rules, he was automatically sentenced to lose. Alice thus became the top name in the sword fighting competition.

Alice was a little surprised by the fact that Arnold abstained, but considering that he probably won’t win even if he comes to the game, Arnold’s choice does not seem so surprising. Perhaps he lost his courage after watching the game between Alice and Bennett and was unwilling to insult himself…Anyway, Alice won.

Kent cheered, looking at him, he was happier than Alice herself:

“The only thing left is to compete right away!” he shouted, “If we can win the first place right away, we will be worthy of the title three consecutive championships!”

However, the top spot in the immediate martial arts competition is not so easy to get.

Archers can shoot arrows, infantry can fight swords, and only knights need training to fight immediately. The forty-five knights here have experience in fighting immediately, and they will never easily win the championship.

Moreover, the immediate martial arts competition is a highly random game. In addition to being related to the Cavaliers’ own skills and mental state, it also has an important relationship with the state of their horses. If the horse is not in good condition, does not fit well with the knight, or is not used to the environment of the martial arts, no matter how good the knight’s technique is, it will be difficult to win.

Alice knows this very well. She took advantage of the one-day rest time between the two games to develop a relationship with “Wrong”, fed him apples and oats, and asked someone to trim his horseshoes and re-nail them. Horseshoe, try to adjust its state to the best. “Uncomfortable” showed a rare obedientness, which made Alice feel deep in her heart.

However, when the race was about to start the next day, Alice went to the stables and found something very bad:

The four newly installed horseshoes on the hooves of “Worry” were half removed by someone at some point.
