Chapter 29: Winner By Death (Part 1)? by Harem-Fan

     "Have you ever wondered why we love each other so much? I mean, to never meet, then as soon as we looked at one another, we knew we needed each other?"

     This Friday night, Freya made love to me, and now she lay in my arms naked, and her ear is listening to my heartbeat, gently rubbing my chest.@@novelbin@@

     "Well, from this life of ours, the only reason would be my Magic Core, Reincarnation, True Love, or Magic? From my Earth memories, it could be... Fate, Reincarnation, or two Souls Destined?"

     She tilted her head to look into my golden eyes, and she reached to ruffle my dark blue hair, and said.

     "Then I want it to be... True Love, Fate, and two Destined Souls. Although Reincarnation is a possibility, we cannot guess if it is our world, or your dream world. Plus, you said in the dream, you did not have a True Love, right? As for the Magic Core, I do not think so."

     Mwah! I kissed her lips and said as I held her tight.

     "It does not matter, I love you no matter what, so go to sleep, we have a very important fight tomorrow."

     After a while, Freya said to me,

     "You know winning tomorrow is some kind of scheme for your future, right? And Teacher is definitely a part of it."

     "Yeah... But I am sure that Evelina Lorelei is not scheming against me in a bad way. I guess the King is also wanting me to become a Hero, or something."

     "What? She told you her name? Why do you trust her?"

     "She has a strange personality, but for some reason, I just trust her..."

     In the dark, a pair of wide open hazel eyes looked into mine, and she said the truth without knowing it.

     "Do you love the Headmistress?!"

     "I am afraid to be around her... Falbium frightens my Soul. But, I think I trust her at a minimum..."

     Freya's eyes glimmered at my not refuting it outright, and then she closed her eyes, smiled, then said.

     "Good luck tomorrow, and I will win for you, do not get hurt this time, or I will make you suffer..."

     Sam Roland: !!!!!!!

-

     Rosecrans sent the 8th Circle Time Mage, to use [Gate Portal] to send me and my family right into the arena, for our safety and because the crowds were crazy today.

-

     I am sitting alone in a VIP room out of sight of the public, till it is time for my match later.

     But there is a Magical Crystal Display of the fight between Vera Lucas vs George Lion, to determine the 3rd and 4th place winners. So, I will be able to watch it live.

     Knock Knock! I heard a soft knocking on the door, and I was wondering if it was the staff, because the Royal Knights are guarding here, so I said.

     "Come in..."

     To my surprise came Mari Olson, a 3rd year in Rosecrans Academy.

     A 20 year old beauty, standing at 5' feet 8'' inches like Rebeca, with black hair and blue eyes.

     And if I remember right, she is a 5th Circle, Water Mage. But why is she here, in a restricted area?

     Mari Olson, seeing my confusion, pointed to the crystal display and said.

     "Sam Roland, I believe you do not know how to use that magic item, right? I am sent here by my Father to make sure you watch the fight."

     "Huh? Really, but why you? I do not mean it like that, I meant did you come for a personal reason?"

     Mari nodded and said honestly.

     "Yes, because I embarrassed myself and the Olson family, so I and my Father wanted me to apologize to you personally for my words and actions on Monday." (Chapter 25)

     I waved my hand and joked.

     "Do not worry about it at all, I actually felt bad for you, because I taught Rebeca that take-down she used on you, and I am sure you were shamed, right?"

     Mari turned red visibly, remembering being pressed, and the fact it was broadcast live. She said in shame.

     "My apology to you personally was saying Rebeca was using you. I had no idea you two grew up together, and for all of that to be broadcast was shameful. I did not expect my Father to direct the team to show my arena, for me to show off, sigh..."

     "Well, from the outside, Rebeca did look like a tree climber, but it only looked like that, because she thought I would stay single in the Knight Academy and she could wait till she graduated, but when she found out I would go to Rosecrans, she rushed right in, and that is why others misunderstood her. I really do love her. Well, and now she has my child."

-

     Mari went to the drink area and got drinks and offered, so I accepted, and she started to run the magic tool to watch the match.

     We had small talk while we waited, and she was a nice woman, gentle like water.

-

     On the magic monitor, the two of us sat together and watched the game.

     Vera was across from Lion, and they exchanged some pleasantries, and not the abnormal smack talk.

     I noticed that Vera was not as shaken as yesterday, like she got up and wanted to be stronger, and what I saw proved it.

     As soon as the fight started, Vera was placed on Doll's left shoulder, using her [Minor Gravity Utility] to glue her feet to the shoulder.

     George Lion found striking Vera impossible at a height of almost 15 feet, and eventually was chased around by Doll, trying to stomp him to death.

     He finally had enough shame and forfeited.

     I could tell by Vera's eyes, she got her pride back. If she used that strategy on the Duke's son, the fight would have been her victory.

     But sometimes, you have to lose to win in the future. As the fight ended, Mari said to me,

     "Let me escort you out, and then I will go see Rebeca and watch your fight."

     She stood, and straightened her Academy uniform, and I nodded to her. She smiled, and walked side by side with me down the corridor. She finally asked me what her Father wanted.

     "My father Lord Olson, who runs this arena, wanted me to invite you for a meal in the future, perhaps our next end-of-month leave? Um, This is not a marriage proposal or anything shady, but purely friendship? We are family friends with the King, and you and he seem to have a close relationship?"

     Just as I was going to ask how she knew, she with a gentle smile, only pointed to the sword on my waist, and I understood. So, I decided.

     "Then talk to Rebeca to arrange it, if she is okay with it, I would be honored. I, um, do not want to upset her by accepting without asking her first, cough."

     Seeing my dodgy-eyes, and being a man who did not want to tip over his apple-cart, Mari found my actions cute. She covered her mouth and said.

     "Haha, Sure, then I will talk to her about it. I am cheering for your win... I hate Douglas Canberra. He once insulted me with filthy propositions on a mission, and I could never fight him, so... Beat him for me."

     "Sure, well, here I go..."

     Then I stepped out of the arena floor gate, and headed for the main stage...

-

    As I neared the steps to climb up, I summoned my partner...

     "My Perfect Partner Freya, come forth... [Call Summons]"

     And soon, Freya, who looked like she was fresh from a roller-coaster ride, said with a grin.

     "Playing in there makes me feel like a kid again. I really love boat-riding... "It's A Small World."

     I pointed up and said.

      "Glad your mind is refreshed, now let's cook this turkey."

     She tilted her sexy head and asked.

     "What is a turkey?"

     "Ah, That is right, dream world animal. It is a really big and dumb chicken, hehe."

     She nodded understandingly. Then we went up...

-

     I should not have come to fight, because I want to pluck this bastard's eyes out, sigh...

     He has not been able to look away from Freya the whole time, and he is trying to look charming.

     Freya feeling my emotions, turned my chin to her and...

     Mwah! She kissed my lips in front of everyone, and then she smiled at Douglas Canberra, while saying to me.

     "Being envied by others is also a sign of how good you are, my husband. Just smile and ignore envious gazes."

     I was a bit shocked this cold goddess had this bold side.

     I really focused hard to not be shy, and ended up just giving Douglas a smug-ass grin. This really got up his ass, and I felt better.

     Douglas Canberra, lost his interest in Freya, now having another target for ridicule.

     "Today, I am going to crush you, Sam Roland. Your ego of being a Male Spellcaster will be crushed by me,just like I did to my soon to be wife."

     He held up two fingers and said smugly.

     "And you are not the first male caster, there is one in the Southern Kingdom, and there was one in the Western Kingdom in the past. So you are not special."

     I nodded, because I also learned about this, but I never claimed to be special, that was the public, but I remembered something. I held up my palms and in one hand made blue Aura erupt, and in my other yellow Lightning magic, and I asked.

     "Can you or those two other guys do this? You're right, I am not special, but I am happy about what I have, are you? Will you beat me, sure, it might happen, but if it doesn't, that would be funny. I really want to laugh today, so let's just start, I want to go home and spend time with my family."

     As I drew out The King's Sword, I held it up in an honorable way in-front of my eyes, pointed up to the sky, with the hilt at my chest level, and I said.

     "If I fail to win, I will return this sword, for I do not deserve it!"

     I had no idea my cheesy lines would actually touch the hearts of many onlookers, the ones who knew the sword in my hand...

     Douglas Canberra sneered and did not return my salute, due to looking down on commoners. He is what we call an elitist Knight, an Officer who is promoted by nepotism.

     He only said to the judge.

     "I am ready..."

     "I am also ready..."

      [Get ready... 3, 2, 1, BEGIN!]
