Episode 549 Saving the Earl (7)
Then, Ray asks, “Is that me?” I looked at her with that expression.
“I heard from Brother Gide that the son’s family is famous for swordsmanship in Celia. I would like to see it once.”
At Sylveria’s bold words, Ray was troubled.
To be honest, I don’t have the confidence to control my strength.
She is at most a beginner mana user.
For Ray, a swordsman at the level of Sylveria is said to be capable of easily subduing it with brute strength without using mana.
She was thinking about her own safety, but Sylveria thought of it a little differently.
‘If you’re confident in your swordsmanship, you won’t worry. After all, the sword worn around the waist was for decoration.’
When he had a bloody battle with the goblins.
Looking at the corpses of monsters scattered around, I felt ashamed of myself for thinking that he might have done it even for a moment.
It’s even more frustrating because I feel like I’ve been duped for some reason.
She gave strength to her words.
“It’s okay if you don’t have confidence. It’s a rare opportunity, so I just wanted to take it lightly.”
The atmosphere around her froze at her slightly aggressive words.
Is it unfamiliar to see her, who has never lost her manners?
The soldiers also silently watched the two of them.
An escort knight approached him to lighten the mood.
“It seems that the lady is very hot today. Isn’t this enough for sparring?”
“…Pelos.”
She was about to say something to the escort driver, but she shook her head.
“No. All right.”
She herself felt that her head was overheating, strangely more than usual.
I wonder if the fact that I’ve always been anxious that strangers might ruin my family these days has played a big role.
Sylveria kept the sword in the scabbard.
My excitement is broken, so I want to turn around.
A voice came from behind.
“great. I’ll accept it. I don’t like hurting people, but if I control my strength, it will work somehow.”
At those words, the left became even more chilly.
Sylveria’s level was never low compared to her age.
No, on the contrary, his swordsmanship was more mature than his peers, so he could have grown significantly if one or two more years passed.
However, at first glance, his sparring words seemed to ignore Sylveria.
His light words and actions were offensive to the soldiers who had been training together with her.
Silveria smiled with a sincere smile at those words.
“Ho-ho-ho. Do you think you are confident?”
He said that, but he looked angry.
The escort knight, called Pelos, sighed as the situation became more and more embarrassing.
“Is it really okay to do it? Even though she looks like that, she is a skilled mana user.”
“are you okay. I will do it lightly.”
“Okay.”
Pelos stood in the middle of the gymnasium to prepare for any unexpected situation.
There’s no way Sylveria would do that, but she might wield her sword out of emotion.
Under the focus of the soldiers’ attention.
As the two stood on one side of the arena, Pelos looked at them in turn.
“I’m talking about old age, but take it lightly.”
“I know.”
Hearing Sylveria’s answer, he stepped back as if he was relieved.
As he moved away, Silveria quietly drew her sword.
Ray tilted his head at the sight of him pulling out his sword in advance, as if he wasn’t using the swordsmanship he just showed.
“Is it a little different from before?”
“There is no need to use foot swordsmanship for beginners.”
Even Zeke, who has already become a perfect master, constantly tries hard not to lose a player when competing lightly with him.
However, now that I have reached the beginner level of mana user, I laughed for some reason as I ignored my opponent so much.
Sylveria hardened her expression at his laughter.
‘…Smile?’
The thought of being ignored put strength into the hand holding the natural sword bottle.
she said coldly.
“Then let’s begin.”
“You can come when it is convenient for you.”
“…Are you going to give up the players?”
“It’s just light sparring.”
At his words, she gave up her desire to be moderate.
Li Zi is looking down on Dalian.
I’ll do it lightly.
How could you treat Dalian with that kind of mindset?
‘I’ll have to show myself and make sure I don’t carry my face up again.’
Having made up her mind, Sylveria aimed her sword.
As mana flows through the whole body, the momentum becomes sharper.
like a single sword.
The soldiers couldn’t help but be astonished at the sight of her spitting out anticipation.
“I didn’t expect you to activate mana already.”
“You have grown more than before.”
On the other hand, Ray standing cross-legged on the other side was so ordinary that no one could find any trace of his mastery of swordsmanship.
“…there’s nothing to see.”
“That way, the decision will be made in an instant.”
Even Pelos thought differently.
He didn’t feel any signs of mana.
It was a disprove that he had not reached a mana user.
‘This sparring is the victory of the young lady.’
Silveria, frowning at the sight of him standing still without pulling out his sword, threw the sword.
“ha!”
The trail of the extended sword reached Ray with a spirited spirit.
Of course, since it was in the form of sparring, she intended to stop right before it touched her body, but the result came out differently than she thought.
Kaaaang-!
Rey, who had seized her sword, lightly parried her sword.
The shock that tingled her hands made Sylveria almost lose her sword for an instant.
‘This is…’
His sword, pulled out of the scabbard, sprayed the son-in-law full of magic.
A horrifying scam.
My whole body trembled just by looking at it.
Embarrassed for a while.
After coming to her senses, she threw her sword again.
A sword that draws an honest straight line.
Although there was no flamboyance, if you try to lightly block it like you did just now, your center will shake.
Ray honestly raised his sword.
At that, Silveria immediately saw an opportunity to shed her sword.
Looking for a gap, she panicked again.
‘Isn’t there a gap in the rain?’
Unlike the moment before, when he was standing awkwardly, his posture was refined to the point where there was no fault.
Even so, Ray was now imitating Zeke’s swordsmanship and using it.
He didn’t have a proper swordsmanship, so he stole the swordsman’s swordsmanship that came to his mind.
Since he was dealing with a swordsmanship secret handed down from generation to generation in the prestigious Trey duke family, there was no way that Sylveria, who had reached a mere mana user, could handle it.
As he was at a loss, not knowing what to do, Ray immediately threw his sword.
She raised her sword urgently.
Kwaaaang-!
After taking three or four steps back, Sylveria, who managed to relieve her strength, did not take her eyes off Ray.
“If the player is taken away, there will be no porridge or rice.”
On the other hand, Ray leisurely drove her into a corner.
“Aww!”
Driven into a corner, Sylveria eventually put mana on her sword.
Whoa-!
A sword aura rises with a resonant sound.
Ray’s black sword, which spewed goosebumps enough to give goosebumps, would be cut off at any moment.
“I’m done with being proud!”
Silveria, overheated by sparring, swung her sword without thinking.
The Sylvester family’s swordsmanship, made for use on the battlefield, lacks the mercy they have to bring out in sparring.
Even Pelos, who tried to stop the sparring due to the speed of the blades of a comb, was a step too late.
“No, lady!”
A sword full of mana came down to Ray’s head.
At that time, even the girl who threw the sword felt sorry for her.
Ray slowly extended his sword.
Let his slow-moving sword touch the approaching one.
Pasasasak-!
Unable to withstand the aftermath of the mana, her sword broke into pieces.
Sylveria’s eyes were colored with astonishment.
The Count’s swordsmanship.
own sword.
With one light stroke of his sword, it was broken helplessly.
As a result that no one expected, the gymnasium was enveloped in silence.
Pelos couldn’t understand the movement just now.
Sword and sword met.
One was a sword aura and the other was just an ordinary sword.
Even so, the one who collided and lost was Sylveria.
Even if a miracle had occurred, the results did not make sense to the extent that it was difficult to understand.
Silveria, whose beloved sword had been shattered, shook her hands.
‘I wasn’t even an opponent.’
I knew it only after I faced the sword.
He was a huge mountain.
His hands tingled as if they were about to explode at the touch of a hand that blocked his sword.
There is nothing meaningless in a single light movement, and when the swords collide, you feel a wall you cannot jump over, so you realize that you are not really your opponent.
He was proud of himself as a genius when it comes to swordsmanship.
The speed at which he absorbed learning from a young age was at a level far beyond that of his peers, so he thought he had no opponents anymore.
But there was another sky above the sky.
When he recalled the self-confident image he had just had in front of him, his face flushed red with shame.
Ray, who put his sword in the scabbard, approached her.
“are you okay?”
Zeke’s swordsmanship was designed to withstand opponents of the same level.
Since he swung something like that against a beginner, of course there was no way the sword would be safe.
Ray was regretting that he had an accident even though he had done it himself.
I had no intention of breaking even the sword.
I was just thinking of pushing the sword away, but who would have known that it would break without force!
‘That makes it a bit stronger.’
He blamed the poor blacksmith.
Silveria, immersed in bewilderment, answered without thinking.
“Yes yes….”
“I failed a little in controlling my strength, but it is fortunate that there were no injuries.”
Are you saying that he adjusted his strength after showing the current clash?
Then, what would happen if they collided with each other with all their might?
Whether you know someone else’s inside or not.
Ray smiled awkwardly and continued.
“It’s good swordsmanship. It was a pleasant sparring.”
If I had heard it before sparring, I would have snorted, but not now.
Sylveria felt chills run down her spine.
His words and actions that seemed to ignore him.
All of the things I thought were bluffs would be true.
If he had a different mind, he wouldn’t even be able to stand still.
It was like putting my foot in the jaws of a tiger, so the chills came in an instant.
She bowed her head.
“That’s me… Thank you for competing.”
