predator.
I once went hunting bears.
At that time, I met a hungry bear and almost died. If the knight wasn’t with him just in time, he would have died.
Memories of that time still linger.
some kind of imprint. The feeling of that time that settled like a trauma has now come back.
‘why.’
The look of the bear I saw then, the momentum.
Can you feel it from Raymond?
afraid.
The hand he hid behind his back trembled tremendously, and his throat was dry to the point of tingling.
“Hoo-wook… Whoop… .”
He was beating so fast that he was worried that his heart might explode, and the closer he got to Raymond, the more difficult it was to breathe.
‘Is Raymond right… .’
It seemed that he was not the Raymond he knew.
The Raymond he knew was never like this.
‘This is impossible.’

Kaham Ruhaman never missed a banquet held at the Millennium Count’s house.
Therefore, it can be said that he knows something about Raymond.
I’m so timid that I can’t express my opinion.
Despite being a master of magic, he can’t handle even one magic properly.
He was a guy who had everything bad.
The guy who did that now comes and shows that kind of momentum?
‘I must have used magic.’
It didn’t make sense unless you used magic.
yes.
that’s raymond
There’s no way I can show myself like that without throwing away my nonsense.
‘You mustn’t be swayed. If you are swung around, you lose.’
The gap between before and after was so great that Kaham could not face the reality.
denied what he saw.
that it is impossible
‘Am I to blame? no. I didn’t do anything wrong. I just told the truth.’
Was there too much confusion?

Kaham spat out.
“Then would you like to fight with me?”
I swallowed dry saliva and looked at Raymond.
What if you refuse
not. Raymond won’t refuse.
If Raymond accepts the sparring, he just needs to deal with Raymond properly.
Through sparring, Raymond will prove incompetent.
Then you can prove that you are not wrong.
‘You can fool the eyes of others, but you can’t fool your own eyes.’
Magic is a power close to omnipotence.
So something like that would be possible.
However, no matter how much force can be expressed with magic, it cannot support that skill.
Even if he used magic, it didn’t matter.
Raymond is weak…
He had only been in 1st circle before turning 17, so there was no way he would lose to Raymond.
‘There’s no way Raymond could refuse this.’
Raymond cares about how people look.
Otherwise, there was no way he would have reacted to what he had said by emitting momentum.
So I will accept the sparring he requested.
‘I’ll be able to relieve the stress that’s accumulated over the years.’
that cheeky attitude.
I will crush that attitude in front of people.

Kaham had already let his imagination run wild.
Through sparring, he imagined what kind of disgrace he would give to Raymond and how he would win.
When I think about that, I smile on my own.
Having regained his confidence, Kaham stared at Raymond and said.
“What would you like to do?”
***
‘Dalian.’
I was worried for a while about the sudden application for Dalian.
What can be gained through Dalian in the current situation?
I looked around.
The nobles looked this way with expectant eyes.
“Did you say Dalian now?”
“uh. Kaham applied for sparring with Raymond.”
“Isn’t this win-lose? Kaham is a skilled swordsman. But Raymond is still a 1st class mage.”
They were whispering among themselves and already deciding whether to win or lose.
They were talking about the majority of Qaham’s victory.
Even though I had the energy of Earl Warrug.
‘Is that how bad the perception is?’
The more I dug, the more I could see how much Raymond had been shoveling in vain.
Thanks to that, I’m struggling even more.
If only I could see them face to face, I want to hit them even once.
‘It’s not bad though.’
Sparring doesn’t give me a disadvantage.
I don’t know if I’m stronger than the youngest knight, because otherwise I’m unlikely to lose.
More than that, I don’t know.
‘It’s a place where nobles gather.’
The banquet held at the magic house is special.
That’s why many aristocrats participate.
Among them, there were many who would become famous in the future.
‘There’s nothing wrong with showing them a good side in advance.’
These are the people you should meet at least once.
It was like a kind of opportunity to inform them of the existence of the country.
“I accept it.”
One sparring would be fine.
It was just a sparring, but Kaham’s face brightened as he carefully looked at me.
Am I really happy that I accepted Dalian?
‘Am I a pervert?’
It could be someone who likes to fit in.
That’s why he likes sparring so much.
Well, that has nothing to do with me.
It’s been a while since I’ve grabbed a wooden sword.
***
All the nobles in the banquet hall gathered into the banquet hall.
There is only one reason why they gathered.
Only Raymond Millennium and Kaham Ruha are sparring!
It was a big match in a different sense.
Raymond, who was born as the son of Count Millennium and was only in the 1st circle.

Kaham of Viscount Ruharman, who is famous for swordsmanship after Count Warrug.
The nobles who heard the sparring between the two already predicted who would win.
Only Kaham Ruha will win.
Nevertheless, the reason why people gathered is because it becomes a spectacle.
Think about it.
Where else would you see a count’s son beaten up?
It can be said that it is a rare sight, and it was natural for onlookers to gather.
‘But it annoys me when nobody thinks I’m going to win.’
I’m openly ignored, but who would like it?
I am absolutely not.
“Please be careful.”
As I was about to go up to the arena, Selina came up to me and told me.
Please be careful.
It can be accepted in two ways.
The first is to tell me to be careful not to get hurt.
The second is to tell them to do it moderately in terms of knocking down the opponent.
It will be the second time she tells me.
Even if you don’t say so, I’m thinking of doing it in moderation.
“ha ha ha. I’ll treat you appropriately, Lady Selina, you don’t have to worry too much.”
Unlike me, however, Kaham seemed to be the first to understand, and sneaked up to talk to Selina.
Selina quietly bowed her head toward him and left.
“You are still very shy.”
I don’t think so.
“Come on up.”

Kaham, who climbed the arena before me, looked down at me and said.
It was so arrogant to shake hands.
First of all, let’s break that wrist.
just enough to recover.
“It really does.”
“But isn’t the result too obvious?”
“a. It’s still fun.”
People’s voices are heard.
Now I don’t even think about gossip, I speak openly.
I’m looking forward to the face that will change after a while.
Ignoring them and standing in the arena, the knights approached.
“Please leave the real sword to me.”
Without saying anything, I unleashed the real sword and handed it to him.
I know that I can’t use a real sword that can cause death because it’s Dalian.
Still, I wanted to try using a real sword.
I can’t help it.
I put my regret behind me and grabbed the wooden sword the knight gave me.
‘It’s heavier than before.’
This one seems to taste good.
I clenched my wooden sword tightly and looked at Kaham.
He wields a wooden sword and checks his body condition.
Then he nods his head and smiles.
Are you so confident?
“Are you ready?”

Kaham looked at me with a relaxed face.
His appearance is so bright that you can feel the difference between him and the one he just ate up in fear.
It had to be, because I wasn’t ‘playing’ Earl Warrug.
The momentum that was pressing him disappeared, and he was able to face me with his swordsmanship.
“But are you okay? No matter what, he’s a 1st circle mage. It seems to be against me. If you’re scared, you can stop right now. Don’t be embarrassed for nothing.”
Are you trying to put me down by even emphasizing the word circle 1?
I had no intention of matching his words.
“It makes me proud to say this, but you won’t be able to handle Ruharman’s swordsmanship.”
I let his words flow over my ears.
“I will give you a player.”
He snaps his wooden sword and says.
[The ‘nameless god’ watches you with twinkling eyes.]
give up the player
I had no intention of rejecting it.
I couldn’t even hear his voice in the first place.
“after… .”
A strange excitement enveloped my body. I ‘played’ the main character.
The heat in his head subsided, and his heartbeat slowed.
“… .”
The voices of the onlookers surrounding the arena become quiet.
good.
If it was noisy, it would have been annoying.
I looked ahead.
Still, is it that he is the son of Viscount Ruharman?
The shape of the sword was quite good.
Moderately block attacks, moderately capable of attacking.
Just by looking at that posture, you can tell how hard he worked.
It’s fair to say, but there are probably not many people his age who can receive his sword.
‘but yet… .’
Not better than Selina.
Unknowingly, I started to compare him and Selina.
Of course, Selina is better.
‘then… .’
The hand holding the handle was full of strength.
And give strength to your toes.

My sword swung lightly.
“Huh… !”
However, the results were not light.

Kaham’s eyes that blocked my sword widened in disbelief.
I turned around, ignoring those eyes.
I turned the handle and gripped the sword in reverse, aiming for the side.

Kaham manages to block the attack. Then, using the recoil, it spun around and aimed at my head.

He pulled back and unceremoniously struck the sword.
‘This can’t be!’
Gritting his teeth, Kaham swung his wooden sword.
Huung.
It seemed to contain all its power, and it passed over my shoulder with a heavy sound.
Dodging the wooden sword, he burrowed into Kaham’s arms.

Kaham groaned and tried to fall.
Tup.
I reached out and grabbed it. Even though Kaham is in pain, he glares at me.
I still haven’t fully grasped the situation.
He released his hand from his collar and swung the wooden sword.
puck, puck. Puck puck puck.
My wooden sword cut through his entire body.
“Ugh, aaa!”
He screams and swings his wooden sword into the air.
puck!
He hit his hand with the side of the wooden sword to make it fall, then kicked the wooden sword off the ground and grabbed it.
“Ugh, ugh.”
He hesitates and steps back.
I thought I hit you a lot.
Is toughness good?
Throw the wooden sword back at him. As he reflexively grabbed the wooden sword, he took a step forward and swung the wooden sword.
F*ck!
cheerful sound. Holding the wooden sword, Kaham’s body collapses unscathed.
I wiped the sweat dripping down my chin with my sleeve.
I raised my head and looked around.
