chapter 14
Numbers to Win
Except for Leo himself, everyone was astonished.
Perhaps if Felice had been here, even her, who usually doesn’t show her emotions, would have opened her mouth.
That much, Leo’s duel application was shocking.
Especially for those who know Leo’s real talent.
After the conversation with Louis Wallenstein was over, Leo and the party started walking again.
Next to Leo, the saint chattered.
“I was really touched, Leo! You are doing this for me!”
Leo Epsylt puts on an arrogant smile.
“I didn’t like the fact that such a mean person installed it from before. Please take this opportunity to trample on me properly so that I can’t even hold my head up outside the academy!”
“Heh, that sounds obvious.”
Looking at the two of them talking nonsense like that.
Elin Nidia looked at them with pitiful eyes.
‘It’s true that a candidate for a hero and a person called a saint are like this, as expected, humans are inferior.’
That’s what I think.
However, right now I had to find a way to rectify the situation.
By any chance, the hero must not be defeated and his heart broken here.
The hero must grow and become stronger.
You must increase the strength of the warrior and be able to handle it well.
Yes, not for humans, but for elves.
In particular, it was unusual to see through the eyes of the black elf that Leo was wearing.
The side that Leo is holding will help him grow.
If Leo loses here and things go bad…
For a moment, Elin thought of Louis Wallenstein’s face.
she shakes her head
He must have decided to throw away all his personal feelings.
He only thinks of the same elves.
Promise again, she opened her mouth to Leo.
“Leo, if things go wrong by any chance… ”
Leo, who understood what she meant, frowned.
“I can’t lose to a guy like that, can I?”
Then, as Elin was about to say what the last defeat was, Elin barely endured it.
In the eyes of anyone, Leo is weaker than Louis.
A fact that everyone knows except for that saint.
Of course, in terms of the amount of mana and strength, Leo is far superior.
There, he can use his holy power without being a priest of the Order.
However, they were not acquired by Leo’s efforts, but merely his talents.
Because he doesn’t even know how to properly wield the power he has naturally gained.
With the current Leo, you can never defeat Louis.
While she is contemplating what the hell to do.
Leo opened his mouth again.
“Well, Elin. Last time he beat me in a mean way, you might be worried about that.”
Of course, Dalian at the time was fair no matter how you look at it.
Leo continues to speak boldly.
“He ran away from me the whole time in Dalian, but he was lucky enough to win, didn’t he?”
Elin remembered the battle at the time.
Leo’s ignorant mana and ignorant attack, Louis avoided it too easily.
The fact that he hit Leo while avoiding his attack is now saying that Leo is running away.
“If he had fought fair and fair without running away, I would have won. Even if you get hit by one of my attacks, he won’t be able to withstand it.”
It wasn’t wrong.
If it was an attack made with Leo’s relentless mana, Louis couldn’t stand it if he hit it authentically.
The problem is, Louis will never get hit with such a simple attack.
Could it be that he really applied for a duel with Louis based on that logic?
At Leo’s stupidity, Elin was now afraid.
he murmurs
“You just have to make it unavoidable… ”
The tone was a little creepy.
Meanwhile, Leo asks as if he’s just noticed.
“what? Come to think of it, where did Veronica go?”
It’s a thief bitch, but it’s usually quiet.
It was said that Veronica’s voice could not be heard for some reason, but she was gone.
“By the way, there are no wizards. Where did you go?”
“Well… ”
It was something not everyone knew.
When the hell did it disappear?
Well, the original wizards were all kind of geeky.
It was Leo who didn’t care much.
“Rather than that, are you going to eat now?”
the saintess asks
Leo nodded.
Veronica, well, she’ll eat it herself.
He looked at Aine for a moment.
She hasn’t said anything since before.
In the past, when we first met, I was annoyed because he had an unnecessarily lively personality.
Now, I like it because it seems like a commoner knows the subject and has calmed down.
I didn’t like being sick like that lowly bitch.
Still, as a member of the same party, as a candidate for the hero, he should be generous.
He went to the restaurant with his friends.
—
All meals are over.
Leo quickly returned to his room in the dormitory.
Today, he skipped lunch and a few afternoon classes to find out about Louis.
In fact, I had no intention of applying for a duel from the beginning.
As usual, it was planned to be handled by the power of the family.
He was also embarrassed by the sudden intervention of the princess.
Why the hell did the princess process his application for deportation?
I couldn’t understand it, but even if she was a princess anyway, she was a cadet of the academy.
Leo found the professor he used to use.
I was going to ask him what was going on and tell him to hurry up and get the party eviction application done properly.
Strangely, the professor turned around and said that this time it seemed impossible.
He didn’t even say why.
‘Damn you, how much money did we get from our family!’
Anyway, oddly enough, the professor was stubborn.
Leo immediately remembered the academy president he had met in the morning at that strange reaction.
‘Hey, there’s no way a person who can barely care for a person as high as a president each for a guy like Louis.’
He was the one who shed some thought.
In any case, the professor became unavailable.
When I returned to the classroom, this time the students were talking about Louis and the Princess while having lunch together.
Their relationship becomes increasingly questionable.
Importantly, it is now difficult to shake the stomach and cancel his application.
You have to get Louie to cancel it yourself.
He remembered the Academy duel.
The occasional duel was one of the Academy’s spectacles.
It was a good idea, he decided, as it could even humiliate him as an added bonus.
I didn’t say anything there, but it was Leo who had been grinding his teeth since the last defeat.
I was going to fight again soon, but it was better.
Unlike the last battle, which happened suddenly, there is time to prepare for a duel.
After finishing his calculations, he called for Louis after all of his classes were over.
When I talked to him, I lost my composure and started screaming, but he could not stand it and raised his voice.
Using the words he had said to the saint, the conditions of the duel were harsher than originally planned.
Of course you have to be patient with it, but it doesn’t matter.
‘Cause there’s nothing to lose anyway
Stupid Louis snapped his bait.
“Fufufu, you idiot… ”
He must have been vigilant with his last victory.
Leo smiled and sat down on the chair.
Although he was defeated, he actually surpassed Louis in mana, stamina, and strength.
So it was Leo who really believed that he was stronger than Louis.
That’s why he lost to Louis.
‘Even if he didn’t fight and run away cowardly… If you get one hit anyway, you’re done.’
Leo, who says that running away rather than avoiding it is cowardly.
He did not intend to train hard to defeat Louis.
You don’t have to try to hit the attack yourself.

Just make sure he can’t dodge his attacks.
Leo took out a piece of paper and a quill and began to write a letter.
It was a letter to his family, the Duke of Epsilt.
A letter with requirements to defeat Louis.
On the day of the duel, it will give him a sense of despair he has never tasted before.
Thinking of that day, Leo Epsilt smiled meanly.
—
Having finished speaking, Leo Epsilt and his companions left.
Aine seemed to be looking at me, but I ignored it.
I narrowed my eyes and watched as they moved away from behind.
Leo Epsilt, what the hell do you mean…
We must find out his plan before the duel.
If you do that, you can easily defeat Leo Epsilt.
I remembered the cheap sword I was carrying.
Although I was poor, I still received quite a bit of support as a countess.
Most of the money was spent in the process of acquiring the secret items or hidden items.
Of course, thanks to that, I was able to become this strong, so I have no complaints.
Anyway, the cheap sword I bought to save money got worse after the last fight with the gargoyles.
I smiled broadly as I remembered the treasured sword of the Epsilt family that I would soon get.
“Hi-Hi… ”
So I went back and laughed alone.
“Hey, Louis Wallenstein.”
someone grabbed my arm
Frowning at the familiar voice, it was Veronica Eltwin.
“Follow.”
Without waiting for my reply, she started dragging me away.
