I Became a Gladiator in the World of Gender Reversal - Chapter 85



85 – Excommunication-4

“Here you are!”

“Ah…”

Oksana ran up and jumped onto the bed.

It was not a personal space, but a bed in a treatment room, but even considering that, it was an act of severe lack of caution.

“You came all the way here.”

Perhaps the fight with her was helpful, but strangely, today’s sword fight was easily ended.

Aside from the minor wounds that inevitably occur during sword fighting, she didn’t even have to lie here.

She knew she was here. They cheered me on so loudly that I could clearly see Oksana’s silver hair even in the vast Colosseum.

“I will remember what Evan did for Oksana for a long time.”

Alexandra followed Oksana like a shadow. It was a short meeting with her, but I couldn’t help but have good feelings for her.

“You know, it was so cool!”

“Yes…”

Oksana was delighted. I didn’t hate it when people enjoyed my sword fighting. No, thank you so much.

“And, um… Uh, I’m here to tell you something. Evan.”

Oksana, who blushed uncharacteristically for her, carefully took her hand in mine.

“Why is this…”

“You know. How do I become a gladiator?”

Her hair turned white. I looked at her with her quivering eyes.

“Um, uh… Well, Ms. Daisy for details. You’ll have to ask the man in charge of this place… Why?”

“The person I like is in the Colosseum!”

It’s dizzying. Because if I said something wrong here, I would get Alexandra’s stinging glare.

“Um, by any chance… I know it’s rude to say this, but do you like women?”

“No, it’s a man!”

I don’t know if I should call this shameless or straight.

Regardless of my complicated mind, she was looking at me with her bright eyes.

“So, um… What do you think?”

I couldn’t give you a definitive answer. That would be a lie

All I could say was one very conservative and safe word.

“Thank you.”

It was sincere.

From an objective point of view, even if I did my best, my sword fighting wasn’t that great.

If you were a northern warrior, you would have had quite a bit of experience fighting a woman stronger than me.

I tried to be as friendly as possible, but even then it wasn’t such a big deal.

To the customers and fans who came to see me from far away, I was only polite.

So, I had no choice but to be grateful. Because he was the one who did what I loved the most, saw me, whom I was most proud of, and said it was cool along with me.

“Are you serious?”

Startled, Oksana lifted my arm slightly and rubbed her face against it.

“Thank you…”

“By the way, isn’t that… Royalty? Is it okay to be a gladiator or something?”

“It’s a bit difficult, but it’s not impossible if you seriously want it.”

It was Alexandra who answered my words. She sweated, as if embarrassed by her Oksana’s behavior, but she didn’t seem to have any intention of holding back.

“Compared to the Empire, in the Northern Kingdom, the royal family considers it honorable to engage in ‘fighting’.”

“But…”

“Of course, if you intend to stay in the Empire rather than the Kingdom… You’ll need more procedures. But, if the Empire allows it, it’s not that difficult.”

Come to think of it, it’s hard to believe, but they said that even Logan had some royal blood.

Unless you are a person with the right of succession, it might not be strange for the royal family to stay in a foreign country.

“It’s going to be difficult right now. We also need to get Her Majesty’s permission, so we’ll have to wait at least a few years.”

“Ah…”

Oksana, who raised her head and faced me, said to me with a look of regret dripping from her face.

“So, today I came to say goodbye. Since we have no choice but to part right now…”

Certainly, except for today, Oksana and I met face to face for the whole day.

Of course, even though that day was a very dense one, it was not that we spent a lot of time together from an objective point of view.

However, she had a pitiful look on her face as if she were parting ways with her lover who had been with her for years.

“Until we meet again, can’t we just forget about it?”

“…Sure.”

“If you become a gladiator, do you have to fight with me?”

“It depends on the schedule… But, I think I can do sparring to my heart’s content.”

“That’s enough.”

She smiled brightly with a completely changed expression, as if her crying until just now was acting.

It’s not like acting, it just seemed like the type where emotions change quickly and that is revealed in the expression.

A person who cries because he is really depressed, and smiles brightly because he suddenly feels really good.

“Oksana, let’s go. Go before sunset, can’t we be on time?”

“…See you again!”

“I’ll be waiting for you.”

My fans were numerous, but she was the first to express her affection as violently as she did.

It wasn’t that I didn’t receive a letter or a present with a heart that cheered me on, but the fact that the person in front of me praised my sword fighting like this was a happiness that couldn’t be replaced with anything.

“How is it? Are you okay?”

“Yes. Completely successful! This is enough!”

Oksana also had a lot to prepare for.

She had to prepare her mind to be away from her family, and there was also a testimony from a ‘reliable source’ that she was too young to feel attractive as a woman.

A certain amount of time was inevitable.

“But, to become a gladiator… It might be a lot harder than it looks from the outside. Fighting Evan-sama won’t be easy either.”

“But, Evan-sama is cool!”

“Yes, yes.”

Alexandra shook her head, affirming her decision.

From noble mtl dot com

As soon as she heard Evan’s motivation that ‘the person she loved was in the Colosseum and became a gladiator’, Oksana chose to walk that path with the words ‘It’s so cool!’

“Still, you have to work hard. No matter what they say, basically you can stay in the empire thanks to the justification of studying abroad.”

“Yeah, don’t worry!”

“You’ll have to study hard. You can’t just fight as a gladiator and hang out. Every time I come to the empire, I’ll check it.”

“Okay!”

She hated studying more than she would die, but her attitude was confident, perhaps because she had a clear goal.

“But, can you do it? Evan, you seem to be kind to all the other girls, not just you.”

Evan’s fan service was kind compared to other gladiators.

As soon as the victory was confirmed, he ran to the fans, waved them, and responded with a smile even to loud or somewhat mischievous cheers.

“It’s okay. Evan-sama will surely like a strong woman, and in a few years I will be a young and charming princess with big breasts too!”

“Yes… Drink milk hard.”

“Yes!”

The princess and the sisters, coming out of the Colosseum, met a familiar woman walking around the hallway.

“…No way.”

“Shh. This meeting is still a secret.”

Iris quietly put her finger to her mouth, preventing Alexandra from panicking.

“No way… But, the princess.”

“Oh, if it’s that relationship, I’ve already sorted it out. It’s not completely over yet… But it will be soon.”

“Wow.”

Alexandra was familiar with the fact that her eyes were unusual.

But, that cold and sober Iris is so warm. No, she never imagined that she could have a smile full of passion.

“My sister is fighting too!”

“Oh, Oksana. That’s… The opponent is the princess-“

“That, that’s not possible. Daisy knows, but it’s a secret that I came here…”

“Ah.”

When Iris startled and restrained her Alexandra, she was able to realize her own mistake.

To a woman who wants to hide her identity, she will be more intimidated by someone calling herself the princess than someone calling her sister.

“But, they are people who like the same man. Since we are one family, sister!”

“…I see.”

Iris didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding her heart, even if she didn’t know who she was. Because instead of retorting Oksana’s words, she smiled warmly.

“I’ll be waiting. But, how many girls will be by his side when she returns?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Confident Oksana and elated Iris. Seeing the two exchange her glances as if they were good friends, Alexandra let out a deep sigh.

‘No, people who haven’t confessed to Evan yet are full of confidence…’

She’s Oksana, who could be considered to have confessed, albeit indirectly. Even so, I couldn’t understand why Iris was smiling so happily.

Well, it’s her life. Looking at Iris’ face full of happiness, she couldn’t bear to pour cold water on it.

“Definitely, Logger… No, I think breaking up with that man was a wise choice. In the future, Huang… I… I wish you luck on your path.”

“Thank you.”

After the short conversation, Iris went into the hospital room where the man was lying.

Oksana watched the scene until the end, then she grinned as if she were imagining his smile.

It was a sight that could be called beautiful if it was beautiful, created by one person’s sword fighting.
