Bab 202: Chapter 202 - First Fight
Granicus Colosseum, in a dark passage that will lead the fighters to the battlefield.
"Since you two have signed up to be fighters in the Granicus martial tournament that means both of you are ready to die at any moment!" Shirou said. "And I hope you two don't feel hurt by an enemy who could kill both of you."
"It won't be because getting injured in a martial arts tournament is a risk for someone participating in a martial arts tournament," Kotaro said who was already wearing his special suit for combat. "I'm very experienced with various martial arts tournaments so I'm not afraid of getting hurt."
"I'm also used to getting injured from the training I did together with Master and Shirou-Nii!" Negi said while puffing out his chest. "So if I get injured in the fight because of my opponent it's impossible for me to hold grudges."
"Well you also don't have to worry because even if you lose body parts you can easily replace them," Shirou said with a smile. "Besides, if there's a wound that leaves you both dying even if I can easily treat you both with my Elixir."
"Ukkh your words sound so cruel Shirou-Nii," Negi said who have a goosebumps because he heard Shirou's words.
"Ne-Negi right Shirou-Nii-San! Don't say such bad things I'm so horrified to hear that you know!" Kotarou said with the same reaction as Negi.
"I'm sorry if my words sound cruel to your ears, but I'm just stating the facts that might happen to you," Shirou said with a smile. "The two of you will be the fighters that will open the Granicus martial tournament. I hope you two can put on an inspiring fight."

In the vast arena that exist inside the colloseum, a large number of spectators had already filled the stands surrounding the battle arena. And the crowd was already looking impatient for the opening battle.
[OK LET'S OPEN THE SUMMER MATCH OF THE MINERVA GRANICUS CUP! FIRST MATCH FROM ON THE WEST SIDE TWO FREELANCE NOVICE KNIGHTS OF 'GRANICUS FORTES' THAT KNOWN AS THE NUMBER ONE GROUP IN THE REGION!]
In the stands Shirou, Chisame, Chachamaru, Natsumi and Akira looked at Negi and Kotarou who had just arrived at the arena. Shirou, Chisame and Chachamaru didn't look worried because the three of them knew how strong Negi and Kotarou were.
But not with Natsumi and Akira, both of them are currently worried about Negi and Kotarou because both of them will do something dangerous.
"Would Kotarou-kun and Negi-Sensei be okay fighting in a martial tournament like this?" Asked Natsumi with a worried look on her face.
"Yeah, I heard from some people outside the fighting arena, this martial arts tournament is very dangerous," Akira said with the same facial expression as Natsumi.
"Don't worry because they are both strong enough to be able to take on most of the fighters in this tournament," Shirou said with a smile. "After all, this tournament is something good for the two of them can to having more fighting experience."
"There's a lot of audience in this place, huh," Negi said, who feeling a little tense because it was his first time being in such a huge arena.
"You could say this place is the number one source of entertainment, that's why the number of spectators is also a lot," Kotarou said who was happy that he could fight again.

[HERE OUR FIGHTER ON THE EAST SIDE, THE VETERAN KNIGHTS OF HECATES ARGYRE THE LION MAN LAO BIRON'S, AND THE FOREST FAIRY FROM CERBERUS LAN FAO!]
On the opposite side of the side from which Negi and Kotarou came, a lionman and a mini forest fairy appeared who seemed to be ready to fight against Negi and Kotarou.
"We both seem have to face a newbie, Lan," Lao Biron the lionman said. "How about we teach them a lesson they'll never forget!"
"Okay! teaching the new bie a lesson is what I really like!" Lan the forest fairy said. "And I will really enjoy it Lao! Enjoy it very much!"
"Forest fairy, this is the first time I've seen the fairy race with my own eyes," Negi said. "On Earth the fairy race has become extinct, due to the destruction of nature by humans. To think that in Mundus Magicus the fairy race still exists. Did she play the role of mage and the lionman had the role of the Ministra Magi?"
"I guess so," Kotarou said who was on standby without showing the slightest bit of carelessness. "We mustn't let our guard down against those two Negi, because I can sense that the lion-man and the forest fairy are very experienced in fighting! If we both let our guard down and show a gap in our defenses, we might lose in an instant!"
[THE RULES AS YOU ALL KNOW! THE FINAL RESULT IS DETERMINED IF A FIGHTER GIVES UP OR ANY FIGHTER WHO CANNOT FIGHT AGAIN! THE USE OF WEAPONS AND MAGIC WILL BE UNLIMITED! KILLING IS PROHIBITED IN THIS TOURNAMENT! AND IF ANY PARTICIPANT VIOLATES THE RULES THAT PARTICIPANT WILL BE DISAPPOINTED AND GET PUNISHED!]

Natsumi PoV
Right now I'm really worried about Kotarou-kun! Because he is eager to fight in a martial arts tournament that is far more dangerous than Mahora Budokai! So was Negi-Sensei! I'm worried about him too! They're both still kids! But why are they both so eager to join the martial arts tournament! They even went so far as to change their appearance into a fifteen year old teenagers!
Akira PoV
Sigh why is Negi-Sensei and Kotarou-kun so eager to enter the martial arts tournament. They could both lose their lives if they weren't careful! I don't understand why Alexander-kun didn't even forbid the two of them from participating in that martial arts tournament! And instead he said that the martial arts tournament was a good moment to increase Negi-Sensei fighting experience, is he out of his mind!?
Chisame Pov
Martial Art tournament huh? In Mahora Budokai the two boys show extraordinary fighting abilities. So I guess the martial Art tournament they're currently participating in won't be that difficult for the two of them to conquer. Especially with the crazy training the two of them had in the winter dome. Those two are already like a monsters compared to me who only had standard fighting abilities!
Chachamaru PoV
The analysis I did of the enemies Negi-Sensei had to deal with showed that both of them were quite strong. But when compared to Negi-Sensei and Kotarou, the difference in strength is quite large. I don't need to worry about Negi-Sensei. I'd better continue my personal mission of shooting as many photos of Shirou-sama as possible.
Shirou PoV
This martial arts tournament is really good thing to add to Negi and Kotarou's experience. But unfortunately their enemy is too weak, I hope at least the forest fairy and lionman can show something interesting to cheer up Negi and Kotarou.

[INCIPITE!]
After the referee of the match declared that the match had started. The lion-man named Lao Biron immediately rushed towards Kotarou and hit him with such high speed that Kotarou had to be in a defensive position.
Besides that he also threw seeds at Kotarou's feet, a strange act that made Kotarou feel confused.
"Pipiruna Papiruna Parianna Pullulantes Pulli Vincullum Facti Inimicum Captent!" Forest Fairy Lan Mao cast a spell right after Lao Biron dropped the seed on the ground. And in an instant the seed grew into a vine that bound Kotarou's body, rendering him unable to move.
"What! Why is my body suddenly tied up with vines like this!?" Shouted a confused Kotarou. "What kind of tactics are those two using!"
"Septem Et Miss Ginta, Spiritus Lucis, Coeun," Negi who was chanting a spell was taken aback by what had just happened in front of his eyes. He had no idea that Kotarou, who looked so wary, could be caught off guard like that.
Kotarou received a heavy blow from Lao Biron right in the stomach which made Kotarou vomit a little blood and the food he had eaten earlier and Kotarou couldn't dodge at all because his body was bound by the vines.
And at the same time Negi finished casting his spell and shot a hundred arrows of light elemental magic at Lao Biron.
But Lao Biron didn't look panicked at all, he easily dodged all the light arrows that were aiming at him by doing somersaults and acrobatics.
And finally he stopped a bunch of arrows of light by using a technique that is only owned by the humanoid lion race, namely 'Lion's Roar!'
