Sword Anthem's
Prologues

The cheers of the spectators began to echo around the fighting arena with his spirit. The battle between the knights in front there managed to captivate the attention of the audience to an incredible amount.

 The sound of sword complaints clashing against each other looked like white lightning. Bolted softly, but rough at the same time.

The fighter this time was a white haired woman complete with neat clothes.  His blue-violet eyes were exactly like the calm surface of the water. Holding Rappier in his right hand, his weapon play was extremely agile when compared to his opponent.

In the opposite corner was a black-haired man carrying a sword in his right hand and a sturdy shield in his left. Unfortunately, his movements were limited due to the armor covering his body thoroughly.

The white-haired woman danced over the arena gracefully. Slip every attack and hit quickly. While his opponent could only step back resignedly.

Occasionally the knight drew his sword, but in fact missed all. On the other hand the white pigeon leaped like a nimble rabbit and put pressure like a hunting eagle.

 Thanks to his ability to play weapons, the great knight was again pushed back. Seen from his breath that was panting, the look on his face became complex. Not long after, he bowed and fell down like a knight.

Utilizing the momentum that emerged, the woman moved quickly and then pulled her gun right towards the man's neck and stopped once it was only a inch from the skin.

 The great knight's mouth growled slightly, but in the end he gave up by releasing all of his combat attributes. And the cheers were again heard filling the arena with life.

I could hear the voices of people out there

it's clearly echoing here. In a small room intended for

participants, I sat alone holding a wooden sword.

Until a voice called me to go to the arena.

I got up and stretched my arms for a while.

"Hmm. It looks like it's my turn this time."

I opened the door and walked in a long hallway. This view makes me remember the past. I arrived at the end of the hall and the sunlight greeted me along with an ominous cheer.

Like a very typical mockery and insult, I chuckled a little at it.

"Hahaha.. look! Aren't you a deterrent?"

"Woii.you better back off or you won't be kicked out of the arena, ahahaha"

It's ridiculous because they still remember me today. I was so moved, even after so many years it seems that my title still survives.

This place has not changed at all.

My opponent this time was a bearded man with an accent like a drunk. He held an axe with his right arm. I don't know why, but I felt like a child when I stood in front of him.

"Anu... Can uncle play softly with me?"

"Hahaha...what's the matter little man? Are you afraid of this uncle"

"Ahaha. No, no.. It's just that uncle needs to be careful with uncle's feet,” I said with a small grin.

“Legs?”

The sound of a gong was heard loudly and the big man in front of me ferociously charged straight at me. Hahh. whereas I had kindly warned him, but he did not bother about it at all.

I myself actually do not want to do this and want to play softly with him, but on power if he does not receive my kindness at all, ‘kan? Then I don't have to be a good person anymore.

Relying on the footsteps technique, I exhaled, as soon as his right leg was raised high at that very instant I lunged fast using lightning speed.

After that I kicked his left leg as hard as possible until his body floated for a while. Utilizing that momentum I directly pushed his body with the right palm as hard as possible.

As a result, within seconds, his body was thrown far away to hit the inner arena wall.

“Bhuaggh!!—”

“See? You should have listened to what I said. hahh,” I said with a small grin.

 I finally managed to silence these people. Even this arena became silent with ridiculous expressions they could see from where I stood clearly. It was ridiculous, even I wanted to laugh at the look on their faces.

However, the silence finally broke with the enthusiastic cry of a man who was then followed by another shout. As a result not only were my ears made to buzz by the sound, but I could also feel the air around here trembling a little.

Actually I didn't expect to get any applause or appreciation, what I wanted was retaliation. After all these years of harboring this feeling, my heart finally became relieved.

"I'm giving up!!" I shouted out loudly then walked towards the outside of the arena leisurely.

And once again the atmosphere of this place became silent as I went towards the exit of the arena with a satisfied expression.
