Project Relife: 2x Isekai System

Chapter 32: Match Over?!!

Sarena also bit her lips when she saw Xin was holding the dagger in the same style as her, but didn't say anything to him. Since the match was about to start, she didn't divert her mind in useless thinking and try to focus all her concentration on the match.

Like the other times, this time too Sarena closed her eyes, took a deep breath in, had her left-hand dagger pointed towards Xin for attack and the other dagger behind her back for defense. This was one of the combat positions that had been passed down in her family as a training manual of dagger fighting.

After getting ready for the match, she gently opened her eyes and had a look at her opponent, the newbie. Xin was also ready for the match with his right-hand dagger pointing towards Sarena and left-hand dagger behind his back.

It was exactly the same posture that Sarena and her family descendent had been using for generations. Only one little change was there, and that was the exchanging of the offensive and defensive hands.

Sarena was using her left dagger for offense and right for defense, while Xin was using his left for defense and right for offense. After seeing his posture not only Sarena scowled over Xin but the other girls too became more curious about his identity.

First, the newbie came and defeated one of the campus belle and the Dagger Queen in dodgeball. Then he revealed Sarena's secret about spare pairs of daggers in her bag and now taking the same combat posture as her.

After pondering and joining all these clues the girls reached the conclusion that the newbie must be Sarena's boyfriend, cause as much as they remembered Sarena was the only daughter and the single child of the Watanabe family, one of the most secretive and famous ninja families of the nation. And if it were any of her relatives, then they would have gotten the privilege to see at least one top figure of the Watanabe family, who would have come to drop the relative in the JSDF headquarters. But in the last few days, no such person had come there neither to visit Sarena nor to drop any of her relatives.

On the other side, the boys were also contemplating about it and they reached the conclusion that Xin must be Sarena's younger brother. They knew that Sarena was from a famous and reputed ninja family, but they didn't know that she was a single child. One more reason they reached this conclusion that the newbie was Sarena's younger brother and not boyfriend because everyone, literally every boy, had a crush on the campus belle Sarena. No matter what, they didn't want to believe that Sarena was in a relationship with that boy. So, their brains automatically rejected that option and picked up the conclusion that says the newbie must be Sarena's younger brother.

Excluding the three standing on the fighting arena, all the boys and the girls had a smug smile on their faces. For boys, they were seeing Xin as a ladder to climb up to the campus belle's heart. And for the girls, some were in preparation to impress Xin and make him theirs, while the others were getting ready to tease Sarena and make her tell about their love story.

Unaware of the schemes, plots, and conspiracy going on around him, Xin was standing on the fighting platform and was waiting for the referee to blow his whistle and start the dagger fight. Suddenly, he felt a chilling sensation throughout his body, and with that, he started to hear the cheering of the boys and girls for the newbie.

"Hey newbie, you can do it. We all are with you!!" said a boy.

While some other girls were cheering him on by saying, "We know you are special you can do it. You can do it!!"

Hearing the sudden cheers from both the boys and girls side not only Sarena and Xin but also the referee was having doubt about what he was hearing.

All the people present there knew and had witnessed Sarena's skills in dagger fighting. 'Then how come these all people are cheering for the newbie, instead of their Dagger Queen?!' thought the referee.

Seeing the match was getting delayed, Sarena loosened her stance and asked the referee in a polite voice to blow his whistle. The referee too agreed on her request and blew the whistle to make a loud sound.

Phwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwt!!

Upon hearing the sound, everyone stopped cheering and focused their attention towards the newbie. Out of those two, none of them were making any move. Both of them were in the same stance, and both of them were in the same posture.

Sarena was looking into Xin's eyes, and Xin was looking into Sarena's eyes. Slowly, Sarena stretched her left leg back and was getting ready to attack. Similarly, Xin also stretched his right leg towards his back and was getting ready for the attack.

Seeing both of them were using the same set of moves, the girls became sure that the newbie was her boyfriend, who knows everything about her by heart.

And the boys became more convinced that the newbie was definitely her younger brother. They were using the same set of skills that means they must have trained under one master of the Watanabe household.

Since the newbie was only mimicking her skills and wasn't making any real attacks, Sarena took the initiative and decided to make the first attack on Xin. She hold her breath inside and plunged towards Xin with lightning speed. Her figure was visible while she was getting ready for the fight, but the moment she plunged towards Xin her figure disappeared out of everyone's sight.

Just in a flash, she went beside Xin and made the first attack on his left shoulder. Abruptly the blurry figure of Sarena, which wasn't visible to anyone before, became visible, and they saw her leaning backward and falling to the ground for some reason.
