Chapter 420
Not only he changed the rules without permission, Georg had lost the match so easily .
The impression given to Jin could not be worse . And perhaps the audience would be dissatisfied as well .
The only positive thing out of this seemed to be that probably there were no spectators who blamed the rule change because Jin won the match . However, as the Empress who was trying to recruit Jin to work for this kingdom, I wanted to cry .

“Okay! Final battle! It’s a hand-to-hand combat showdown!”
It was obvious that the victor would be Jin and Reiko . But since the regulations dictated that the match had to continue until the very end, while glaring at Jin with animosity, Marcus readied his remaining combat Golems .
This time, it was the Golem that partic.i.p.ated in the Heavy Throw .
Although he wore no armors and was unarmed, the Golem had a good physique . He might be over 2 meters tall, and weighed about 400 kilograms . His thigh seemed to be as big around as Reiko’s waistline .
Nevertheless, the audience was no longer skeptical of Reiko’s victory, since they had witnessed her display of abilities from earlier matches .
“Begin!”
The Golem roared while throwing a fist aimed at Reiko . If he could land a punch, it would be like the shattering blow of an ordinary Automata . Reiko jumped a little and dodged it .
The Golem aimed at the timing when Reiko landed, and launched a kick .
It seemed the kick would hit … but Reiko ducked and evaded it completely . The ribbon on her head fluttered with the shock wave from the powerful kick .
Reiko seemed to be testing something while dodging the attacks .
“I’ll move my body the way I desire . The air movement that hits my cheeks and fluttered my hair . That air movement gives me clues . And the vibration that travels through the ground will also indicate his movements . ”
Reiko’s “Tactile Sense” had significantly improved her ability to detect her opponent in close proximity . She continued to evade the Golem’s attacks . He was the perfect opponent to put Tactile Sense to the test .
“But I have to end this soon, don’t I?”
While dodging the Golem’s fist, Reiko stepped forward . She landed a counter punch near his solar plexus . It was probably her best effort to land a punch that high, since their difference in heights was significant .
But since he was a Golem, the solar plexus was not a vital point .
Although he could probably withstand the punch, Reiko’s power was enough to blow away the Golem that was more than 10 times heavier in bodyweight .
The Golem was blown about 5 meters away . He did not get up . Apparently, the Magi Device inside was damaged .
“O-one punch … . ”
“It’s amazing … . ”
Just like earlier, the audience exploded in a screaming cheer when Reiko courteously bowed .
A complete victory . It was also the first great accomplishment in the long history of Gonkurrenz .
“Way to go, Jin! It’s amazing . ”
“Um, you’d be a menace if we weren’t friends . ”
Knowing Jin’s personality, Prince Ernest and Princess Lieschen had a laid-back conversation with him .
“Jin, congratulations! Reiko is amazing!”
Reinhardt was also wild with joy over their victory and highly praised them .
“Ladies and gentlemen! The results are as witnessed! The winner of the Gonkurrenz is Jin Nidou! And his Automata, Reiko!”
The cheers of the audience in the venue grew louder .
Jin stroked Reiko’s head that had just regrouped .
“Reiko, great job . It was amazing . ”
“It’s all thanks to you, father . I didn’t think “Tactile Sense” would be that useful . I can detect the movements of my opponent by the air movements and vibrations . Subtle power adjustment was also at my disposal . ”
“Ah, I see, I see . ”
Jin broadly smiled upon hearing her comment . Reiko did not expect Jin to be that affected by how Tactile Sense was useful to win that last match .
Reinhardt asked about it afterward and decided to install a Tactile Sense sensor in Schwarz Ritter as well . But that would be a future project .
“Lord Jin, what about the simulated battle with a giant golem as a special attraction?”
Upon hearing the inquiry, the audience roared,
“Yeah!”
“Please give it a try!”
The audience continued to cheer . Jin did not see any problems in particular, so he agreed .
“Understood . … Lord Marcus, would you please ready the giant Golem?”
With a hateful expression, Marcus stammered,
“I don’t mind . But Goliath isn’t good at pulling his punches . I won’t take responsibility if something happened . ”
Finally, the battle between Reiko and Goliath started .
“Okay, begin!”
On the referee’s mark, Reiko and Goliath’s one-to-one battle had finally begun spectacularly .
“Here I go …!”
Reiko had a quiet anger .
The reason being, her father was being looked down upon .
She was displeased when the Magicraft Meister Jin was lumped together with ordinary Magi Craftsmen . On top of that, they were making sweeping statements about him .
I will crush this Golem completely, and make them acknowledge Jin . Reiko was thinking along that line .
She also thought that it would be necessary to clearly show her ability on that occasion to eliminate interference and hara.s.sment against Jin .
However, Jin despised unnecessary acts of destruction . He also did not like to stand out in the crowd . Reiko understood Jin’s character very well .
Reiko ultimately decided to take action as directed by Jin, “to overwhelm and defeat without a flashy destruction . ”
