YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia (2)

Chapter 326: Flash Flood

Massive scars on the ground, craters all over the walls, and heavily broken tilesー no, they couldn't be even called "broken" anymore. If anything, it was more appropriate to say they were pulverized into oblivion, only tiny fragments remaining.

Such a disastrous sight settled around the Grand Colosseum, the reign of terror and ruin leaving its mark no which angle one was to look at it. The stage has been wiped out of existence, not a trace of it left behind.

The aftermath of the King and Yuna's match was something out of an apocalypse, the whole arena riddled with craters, swallowed by boulders and glaciers. It was a scene from hell, not even the beautiful lightning from the setting sun could help.

"Hmmn～! You go over there... And you there... Then flatten this and...." ［Yuna］

Thankfully, Yuna still had some mana and stamina to spare, fixing what she and the King had broken, humming about as she waved her hand. The ice were thawed and the boulders were turned to dust, the stage restored slowly but surely.

"Ohh... So you even know other attributes of magic as well, Yuna? That's quite the impressive feat there." ［Archen］

"Fufufu! Your praise is too much, Your Majesty. I just happened to learn it because of my teacher. He was quite strict with his teachings, you see." ［Yuna］

"Oh? The fabled heroine's teacher? I would love to meet him one day." ［Archen］

"Fufufu! There's no need to wait, Your Majesty. Actually, you already met him,.. In fact... He's standing right over there." ［Yuna］

Said the young lady, glancing over at Grey's direction with a bright smile on her face, and the King's eyes followed after her. He was quite baffled at first, but knowing how strong Grey was, somehow, it wasn't strange that he was the one who taught Yuna.

He only took a couple glances, but he saw how Grey taught Lisandra over his spare time, and he could confidently say he was the devil, not letting her even take a break. With a teacher like such, it was no wonder Yuna became so powerful.

『Yuna, you're talking behind my back, aren't you?』 ［Grey］

『Ehh～? Not at all～. I was just reminiscing about the past～.』  ［Yuna］

『The past... Haah... I won't ask about it anymore. Anyway, are you sure you don't need any help? I could quickly patch the arena up if you want.』 ［Grey］

『No. This is my doing, anyway. I'm not so helpless that I need my fiancé to clean up after my mess, you know? I'm also a capable adult.』 ［Yuna］

Thankfully, it wasn't just martial arts or magic that Grey taught her. He also taught the young lady about ethics and values while he was at it. Yuna was already a kind child so it wasn't a pain to teach her. Rather, it was quite enjoyable.

Even then, Grey could only sigh at Yuna's words. After all, she was the same Yuna who would also ask him to comb her hair or take off her shoes, acting spoiled when it was just the two of them. She really was unfathomable in many ways.

『Rather than that... shouldn't you be worried about your match, Grey? I heard that the General is quite powerful. Before the Current Champion, he was the holder of the title, and for more than a decade, at that!』 ［Yuna］

『Yeah... I also heard about that. And that's why I'm looking forward to it.』 ［Grey］

『Uuu... I'm a little envious. I also want to fight stronger opponents too...』 ［Yuna］

『Hahaha. I'm sure you'll get your turn.』 ［Grey］

The two were carefree as can be, talking about the General as if it was no big deal. A talk which any other person would probably sneer at them with contempt. He may be the former champion, but he still has tens of thousands of fans, after all.
