Episode 76 - Third Week [2]

"Begin!"
I was sitting on a bench with my arms crossed, while a katana rested against the wall right beside me.
At that moment, the professor's shout reached even the Waiting Room.
Shortly after, the sounds of punches, kicks, and weapons clashing against each other began to echo through the area.
It was the second day of the third week, around noon.
So far, ten matches had taken place, and the next one would be mine.
Each cadet had two matches. Even if they lost their first match, they could still come back and win their second.
For that reason, my intention was to win the first match and lose the second.
Today, the winner would be decided among the cadets who weren't ranked among the top ten.
The first-place winner would receive ten thousand points and a Golden Crown, an award given to the best cadet outside the Top 10.
The Golden Crown wasn't quite as prestigious as the Golden Star.
