"... Whyvare you acting weird? Please stop."
She asked me, Pleading somewhat.
It was 12:00 pm in the afternoon and this time was reserved for rematches for tie breakers.
So... right now, Our lives depended on this match.
"Haha... You are so cute when i tease you!"
I blurted that out but soon shut my mouth with my hands.
She looked at me weirdly...
Soon enough the buzzer rang
3... 2... 1... BEGIN!
The match began, and she leapt towards me.
A calculative move.
Charging right in, I spashed veryically towards her figure but... suddenly she vanished into thin air and appeared from behind me.
Realising thevattack was pointed at my head, i crouched down and tried to kick her using whatever momentum i had but she grabbed my leg and flung me to the wall.
Instead of landing on the wall head on and getting injured, i tried gaining momentum mid air after which i used my legs to land on the wall and leapt forward.
With a smile on my face i slashed at her surprised self.
But... she easily paraded the attach by simply dodging it.
But, i didn't stop there, after i landed on the ground i twisted my torso and flung myself at her again
Trying to vertically slash her from below but she dodged it by a hair's breath.
She tried kicking me again but this time, i leapt backwards and after gaining momentum, tried to leap forward but with a sadistic grin on her face she stood right in front of my face.
Like a villain from an anime.
She looked intimidating as she tried to grab my face but, i dodged her hand by a hair'w breath and slashed at her back which was wide open.
But as if anticipating my attack she stopped my attack with her sword
Even though she wasn't facing this side, her aim was extraordinarily.
"I was a little out of it befire but.. this is my real power Vade Ashborn."
"I'm honoured that you know the name of a man such as myself."
"Mann! Please stop using that informal speech, it's creeping me out!"
She stated, Somewhat annoyed.
"Ahhahaha, No!"
I said as i leapt at her again.
She simply countered my horizontal attack with a simple sword attack.
And our swords clashed.
"Is this all you got?"
She asekd me as she pushed back.
"Come on! A third rate extra like me managed to get this far, you should appreciate me."
"I see you dropped the formal language."
"Well, I couldn't keep up the act fir too long, Since you insisted so much... I might aswell!"
I stated as i jumpef back.
"You call yourself a 3rd rate extra and yet... you seem pretty darn strong!"
"Well, That doesn't change the fact that i am one... Someone i really liked called me that."
It was right when i was about to die when my girlfriend called me a 3rd rate extra while praising frey.
In the end... i haven't found 1 person who's ever liked me.
"Oi Oi! Concentrate would ya! Do i look like a joke to you?"
She snapped as she used all her force to fling me onto the wall.
I was about to hit the wall when she swiftly grabbed me and placed me on the ground.
What's with her?
"SO COOL!"
"Oob... You! would you knock it off!"
"..."
Seems like i said that out loud.
"Thanks."
I told her... if i'd hit the wall i'd be done for.
"For a women... you sure are chivalrous."
"Who said it was a man's thing? Chivelry is a Knight's concept and i am but a knight of the empire!"
"That's why you are fkin cool!"
I said feeling very excited.
Why do i keep blurting all these things out?
Is this intentional?
Hey author is this intentional?
She didn't react this time... probably got fed up by my compli... Or maybe not.
She was again blushing from ear to ear.
"I'm sure you'll make an excellent Knight Princess."
I stated as i looked at her innocent appearence...
"so... don't go about feeling happy over such meager compliments. They'll become a daily occurance for you."
I stated, feeling somewhat nostalgic as i remembered just what kind of a knight she was.
Her still blushing from ear to ear, opened her mouth.
I was ready to get mouthed off but instead...
"What's with you!"
She stated, with an expression as cute as the cutest animal on the entire damn planet.
...
After a baggage of attacks, The victor was finally decided.
I... was eleminated.
Seraphina won the game and reached the top 30.
I got nothing but my rank which was at 477 went all the way to 34.
I fought with THE ARCHDEKIN.
The third princess of the Archdekin Family of nobles in the Elven Kingdom.
They were the Elven kingdom's most influencial nobles.
The king has around 4 daughters out of which She is the 3rd, she has a younger sister and 2 older ones.
just 1 year age difference.
All of them, were striking beauties.
Especially her oldest sister. who was 2 ywars older than her
and is in her final year.
Well, that's enough running away.
I... was seriously dejected, over the loss.
I thought i could win against her... but in the end, she was leaps above me in therms of strength.
As i was crouching down feeling insanely depressed.
Someone tapped my shoulder.
"Good game!"
She stated with a bright smile on her face.
i too smiled honestly.
"Yaa! Good game."
I wonder if Well ever get to talk again or if Well just drift apart?
I wanna ask for her number but... it might come out as too desperate if i do that.
She just stood there, as if waiting for me to ask something.
But... i didn't have the courage to do it!
What if I'm wrong? What if she says no?
No... don't over think it!
Just ask it.
"Well, than... Goodbye.'
I stated... not being able to do it.
"... Yaa... See you."
She said... she seemed dejected and she said 'see you' at the end.
"Mrs Archdekin."
"Seraphina is fine."
She said with a smile on her face.
".. S... Seraphina, if you don't mind...'
I hesitated for a bit.
"Mhm?"
"... Can... can i get your number-"
"Here."
Before i was even done, she took out the phone from her bag and placed it to me.
As if waiting for me to take out my phone, she looked at me eagerly with puppy like eyes.
I refrained form opening my mouth.
Vecause i was going to say something again and doing it repeatedly might not br a good thing.
I went to get my bag and took out my phone.
It was the 2 Plus Cord one rather than the costly one.
While Seraphina had the Costly E-phone.
I felt like i might be judged for having an andriod but... i forgot ghis wasn't my world where people would judge everyone for everything.
As expected, she didn't care about it and just scanned my caller id and both our names were desplayed.
She hugged her phone lovingly while i was inwardly dancing inside completely oblivious of her actions.
"... Well, I'll call you."
I said feeling somewhat reluctant.
"I'll be waiting.'
She said with a gentle smile on her face.
As she left the place with a satisfied smile on her face.
I got real serious...
Why did i vecome serious so suddenly... it was because i was reminded of her fate in the future.
The fate of Seraphina Archdekin who will die in the hands of her brother who staged a coup d'état to dethrone his father and older brother.
I was so devastated by the news i couldn't sleep for days.
I continued watching it only because of the bastard brother who i wanted to see suffer for eternity.
This time... I'll save her from her suffering.
I saved her the first round and she became part of his harem but this time... I'll do it with my own hands because i... Don't want her to see anyone else but me!
For the first time... i realised i'd become really possessive of someone.
I didn't like the confidence because i was worried it'd only end in disappointment.
I felt like she liked me... but since i felt it, it probably isn't the case.
Like it is with 100% of the romance situations in my life.
I was worried... because the feeling I've tried suppressing, imthe attraction i was feeling for people that i was suppressing was resurfacing due to the elven princess.
One more heart break and i probably won't be able to feel love any longer.
Maybe... it's for the best tho... the less people there are who like me... the lesser the chances of people getting hurt due to my death by the end.
Even though i know I'll die in the end... why am i still building relationships?
Maybe... it's beacuse of the fact that... i actually wanna be saved by someone.
From the fate of a demon lord... i wish they'd come find me like what happens in most novels.
Wherever i am, whatever i am... they come and take me away like i'd do for any of them.
But... what i feel for them is completely different from what they feel about me... That's why i can't help but sigh as i think
How Pathetic!
