Finally, the semi-finals began.

Including this match, only two more victories would secure the championship.

[Semi-final First Match: Team Theo & Irene vs Team Aisha & Julia]

[Semi-final Second Match: Team Neike & Cyrus vs Team Travis & Jacob]

Of course, Neike's team is expected to advance to the finals.

Speaking of Travis, he's hitting the peak of his career.

Just making it to the last 16 was a significant feat, considering the participation of numerous formidable Hero Department students.

But with some fortunate matchups, he's made it to the semi-finals.

...Which meant I had to face all the formidable teams myself.

Anyway, the focus now is on securing victory with as little damage as possible.

With that thought, I fidgeted with the practice dagger I had tucked away.

One of my greatest weapons, [Magic Cartridge], ran out of mana during the duel with Noctar.

I wanted to ask Seria for a mana recharge, but she left the arena right after being eliminated in the round of 32.

In other words, I can't use magic.

Another of my major assets, [Overload], should be avoided as much as possible during the match against Aisha.

I should save it for Neike in the finals.

[The much-anticipated semifinal match is about to begin! The first match is between Theo & Irene's team and Aisha & Julia's team!]

As our team and Aisha's team entered the arena, the usual cheers from the audience filled the stadium.

However, it wasn't dominated by the familiar voices of the orcs this time.

The reason?

The deafening cheers for Team Aisha & Julia, especially for Aisha.

"Wowww! Aisha, you're so beautiful!"

"Aisha! Aisha! Aisha Waldeurk, the angel who descended upon Elinia Academy!"

"Aisha, please notice me! I brought a large banner just for you!"

Hundreds of fans waved banners and various cheering tools, chanting Aisha's name.

[Aisha, hotter than a heat pack]

[The goddess who graced Elinia Academy, Aisha]

[Aisha, forever in our eyes]

[Aisha...! You came to see your fanboys, right?! -From all the third years of the Knight Department-]

[The genius and most beautiful archer, Aisha, let's win this!]

[I wish I could be Aisha's aide, even for just a day]

All sorts of colorful banners fluttered in the air.

Just like when she dueled before in one of the previous Hero Department practical evaluations, the atmosphere felt like an idol concert.

'It seems even more intense than last time.'

I gazed at the spectacle.

Calling her a goddess, though...

There are a lot of crazy people.

In this world, gods truly exist.

Naturally, with the presence of divine power, there are holy waters and even saints.
