I Became a Gladiator in the World of Gender Reversal

93 – Qualification-6

In the first place, it wasn’t such a serious problem.

I never imagined that Dana would truly hate me.

Even if there was a misunderstanding or a small wound, we could talk at any time.

Because I was with her, I was able to sensitively accept even the slightest sign of her, and I could meet Dana anytime without having to make an appointment with her.

Misunderstandings piled up and they distanced themselves from each other, then they regretted it, shed tears in moderation and confirmed each other’s feelings, returning to each other after a long time.

Me and Dana were too close for things to work that way.

“Is that so…?”

“That’s it.”

“But…”

Dana, who had barely calmed down, was crying again.

“If you keep doing that, I have no choice but to use the last resort.”

“… Huh?”

“I’m going to cry too. Aigooooo… Our Dana even saved me and even split her time to watch my training, but I’m going crazy because I didn’t do anything for Dana!”

She laughed. Her breathing was still rough, but I could see the corners of her mouth pouting.

“That’s what I meant when I said I liked it. Sword fighting with you, rolling over… Uh, I look like a pervert when I say this…”

“I was like that too? I was like that too.”

“I see…”

If you love each other, it’s not a waste to spend time on each other.

“…Daisy, did you hear that? Because of these children, I turned down your confession.”

“I heard.”

Dana’s annual salary is not small, but she spends a lot of money as well.

Supporting the training and livelihood of novice gladiators, operating such a daycare center, etc.

With Selam’s man as her lover, she really had to give it her all if she started competing with other women.

“I’m sorry. You were so sincere… Because I didn’t know. No, even if I knew… Because I couldn’t give up on this.”

“It was worth it.”

It is not a personal luxury, it is for others.

Seeing the smiling faces of the children was definitely worthwhile.

“I have to do that too.”

“…Don’t you hate it?”

“In the first place, love doesn’t mean you can give up everything.”

Even if Dana became my lover, she didn’t want to take everything from her.

Because Dana herself was shining. She rejoices after winning her sword fight, and smiles happily as she cares for her little children.

Everything was beautiful, and I just wanted to look at the light from the side.

“I said… But I’m in a slump. The best gladiator, I might not be the shining me you used to see.”

“In the first place, I didn’t fall for you because you were a champion. I saw that and thought it was cool.”

“Such…”

“You worked hard, you were happy, and you were by my side when I needed you most. That’s enough.”

Carefully, he hugged her.

Dana’s breasts in her casual clothes showed off their soft texture beyond her clothes.

“If that’s the case, this is…”

“Don’t like it?”

“But…”

Dana was embarrassed but did not run away. If it was her strength in the first place, I would have had to do my best when she decided to push me away.

“…You’re stupid. Me, you do this to comfort me, but even in this situation, you’re thinking dirty thoughts.”

“Really? You think I’m just doing this to comfort you?”

Her hand, which held her inside her, came down cautiously. I can feel her tight thighs and her ass.

“Hey…”

“Did you really think you’d be the only one with dirty thoughts?”

Men in this world are extremely conservative when it comes to s*x.

Because they are using it as a commodity. Just like no one scatters expensive gold on the ground.

Just by shaking it in front of your eyes and seducing it, there are many women who pour in tons of money believing only in the possibility of getting the relationship.

However, I had a different idea.

“If this is the case… I’m not pretty…”

“It’s up to me. It’s not you, it’s not anyone else, it’s me.”

Looking up at me with a lot of disheveledness, Dana’s face, which was messed up with a sudden emotional change, was cute.

A little, to the point of sadistic pleasure.

“Dana who is not a champion, Dana who only receives, Dana who helps others. I like them all.”

If not as much as other men in this world, I was s*xually conservative in my own way.

Dirty work, only with people you like.

If I hadn’t had this thought, I would have been carrying women like crazy from the first day I entered Selam.

“…Ah?”

I felt like her heart would burst if I hugged her more deeply, so I let her go at this point.

“When it’s hard, you can tell me first.”

A woman who lives her own life. He is a person who has run endlessly for his own goal without leaning on anyone.

By itself, it is beautiful.

I was able to see the light that I would not have been able to see in my entire life if I had been stuck in Selam, and even if I had seen it, I could see the light that would have felt faint like the light seeping through an eyepatch.

“Let’s go back.”

“…Yes.”

Dana did not shake off my hand.

“Here is the bathroom… Let’s wash your face first. The kids will be worried.”

Her steps seemed oddly light.

“Wow, what’s that? She said that the baby suddenly came back to life… What happened?”

The gladiators gathered one by one in the arena were watching Evan and Dana’s sparring.

“It’s not a joke… It’s bloody?”

The two men and women were estimating each other’s movements as they roughly clashed their swords.

It was different from before. It was different from Dana, who struggled to climb the top of the Colosseum and just unconsciously swung her sword without her obsession with victory or fighting spirit.

Of course, even Dana in that state was strong enough to be dealt with when countless gladiators clung to her and destroyed her weakness, but Dana was one step stronger.

“That, wasn’t there an opportunity? What was the reason for missing one step?”

“With that stance… Evan should be able to just block it with his shield and bounce it back.

“Aha…”

Among the gladiators here, no one wanted to fight Dana in that state.

It might be a good experience once or twice, but before that, I felt like my heart would break.

“Come to think of it, Dana has been in a slump lately. Isn’t that girl always like that?”

“Well, it’s because it’s Dana.”

Dana is originally a perfect gladiator.

Strength, speed, skill, intelligence, stamina. The best gladiator who has no shortage in any field.

“By the way, that Evan. It holds up very well, doesn’t it?”

Dana is a perfect gladiator who is not stabbed by her weaknesses. It hasn’t changed, but she still lacks a little more than other best gladiators.

Evan is stronger. The power of his simple arm was ambiguous, but his weight-bearing punch itself was slightly better than Dana’s.

He was doing well against Dana, inducing a situation where they had to use the same power.

“Wow, that’s the final, right?”

“That’s the final.”

In the eyes of other gladiators, compared to Dana, Evan was a good enough gladiator to deal with.

Even so, there was no gladiator who could guarantee that he would easily win if he showed low-level movements in real combat.

Moreover, his movements were much more sophisticated than before. His lack of skill was not felt, and he grew stronger.

Just as if a ‘person stronger than the opponent’ knows which sword to use, he honestly continued the sword that was precise and powerful, knowing the trajectory and inevitably suffering losses even if he blocked or damaged.

“I said let’s beat Dana together, and then I came back with some kind of awakening. Aye, this year has been opened, it has been opened!”

“What, are you giving up?”

“It’s not about giving up, it’s about waiting for the right time. Hey, the two of you went out somewhere this afternoon and suddenly became close and came back, right?”

Fortunately, Evan and Dana were fully focused on each other. To the point where I couldn’t hear the whispers around me.

“…So?”

The gladiator who spoke out gave a sinister smile.

“I still don’t know? How did Evan get Dana to come to her senses?”

“…Wait, no way.”

“No matter what, after you have a baby, won’t you take a break for about a year? I’ll aim for that time.”

At the strategic judgment of the gladiator with a sinister smile, the other gladiators stuck out their tongues.

Those who haven’t given up yet watched their sparring, trying to somehow find weaknesses or habits. However, there was no harvest.

The fight is over. The winner was Dana, but just because she was her, that didn’t mean she was able to win with ease and safety.

“Ha, ha… Ha.”

“It’s fun.”

Dana and Evan sat down on the floor of the ring, looking at each other and laughing.

It was as if Evan had returned for the first time. When she just came into the Colosseum, she learned how to strike her sword at her.

However, she was no longer on top of him.

Right in front of your eyes. After she’s had a few victories in tournaments, she’ll have her sword fight with her.

“…Hope, I’ll do it.”

Dana carefully held out her hand, which was wet with her sweat. Evan gently embraced her hand.

A tingling sensation remained in the right hand that held the sword, but even between the sensations, the two could check each other’s temperature.

Putting it out of sight that the other gladiators were watching the scene with their hands closed over their mouths, they continued to touch each other’s hands.
