prodigy sword lord

Hi! Pan!!
Hey, Pafe-chan.
Today is the quarterfinals, right? Who are you playing against?
Yeah, it's against Orya.
What?! With him?
He's insanely good, you know. Are you sure you'll be okay⁉
I don't know. I haven't practiced at all.
You haven't done anything again? That's not good. You have to practice!
It's okay. I'm a genius, after all.
I didn't do anything, but I made it to the quarter-finals.
I'm amazed. Everyone is working hard to win at this swordsmanship festival...
Well, well, well! You've worked hard!
This is it. A special rubber sword that hurts but won't cause any injuries.
Alright, let's do this!
Alright, up next is the men's quarterfinals. Players number 05 and 34, please take the stage.
Ahhh!! Lord Orya!!
Orya!! Orya!!
Orya!! Orya!! Orya!!
Parvard University Sword Festival
I didn't realize I was this popular.
Truly a genius!
Orya!!
Hm?
Orya!!
Lord Orya
Orya!!
Hey, let's have a good match today! May the best of us win.
Tch! So it wasn't for my support after all...
Thanks a lot. Nice to meet you.
Both competitors, please fully demonstrate the fruits of your daily practice and make it a splendid match.
Now, we will proceed with the quarterfinals.
Number 05 Orya contestant! Orya is the reigning champion of last year's Swordsmanship Festival‼
Number 34, Pan contestant! He had a rather lackluster performance last year, but this time he has advanced to the quarterfinals of the Swordsmanship Festival‼
Both sides, ready!!
Pan, you can do it!!
Begin!!
......
Damn!
Take this!!
This is weird... none of my hits are landing...
Huff... huff...
Hmph.
With skills like that, I’m surprised you even made it this far.
What?! What’s that supposed to mean!?
Tch... must’ve gotten lucky with weak opponents. Can’t believe I’m stuck fighting a loser like this in the quarterfinals...
What did you just say!?
You—!!
No! A midair sword’s coming your way!!
Run, Pan!!
Huh!?
Oryaah!!
Gyaaah!!
Oh no...
Hmph!
Ah...
Poor thing... Lost the match.
The winner, Orya!!
Hey—!
Hey! You okay!?
Someone get a bucket of water, quick!!
SPLASH‼
Ugh... uhhh...
Gasp!!
Oh! You're awake!
The match ended while you were out cold.
They're doing the award ceremony now.
As expected, Orya won the boys’ division.
And in the girls’ division, Pafe took first place! She’s really something, isn’t she?
Orya, congratulations on winning the championship two years in a row!
What’s the secret behind your incredible swordsmanship?!
The secret to my strength? Hah—there isn’t any. My power is simply innate.
I barely even practice, yet I’m still this strong. I suppose I was born a genius.
I do admire Sword, who’s considered the greatest swordsman in history...
But maybe... I’ve already surpassed even him! Wah hah hah hah!!
........
Well, well.
