My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 3. Misunderstanding that gets worse (10)

A duel in the outskirts of Aus City, close to the walls.

It was a circular stadium reminiscent of the Colosseum. It was huge enough to accommodate a large number of people.

In the center was a large square footstool. It seemed to be the place where the fighters were dueling.

“Prause, are you okay?”

Just before going up to the arena, Tori talked to me. Urca was looking down at me from the top of the arena.

Perhaps he had already opened his handprint, his pupils were torn vertically.

Looking at that, I calmly opened my mouth.

“Don’t worry.”

“You are confident. Even though the opponent is S-class, he doesn’t show any shrinkage.”

What are you talking about? Can’t you see I’m scared? Are your legs shaking?

“Since we made a contract with the fire spirit, it will be quite tricky.”

‘That’s right. This is not too difficult.’

“Did you forget who I signed with?”

Someone stop my arrogant snout.

“…… hahahaha, that’s right You made a contract with the Spirit King. Is that why you are so confident?”

This gave me a justification for being able to use wind magic.

No matter what skill I use, they won’t notice that my sword is a ‘unique ability’.

“Still, you won’t be able to defeat Urca with the power of the Spirit King.”

“…… The words are strange. Do you want me to win or lose?”

“What?”

“Your request is definitely to subdue Urca. Are you referring to winning or losing after entrusting such a request?”

“Ha, but… ….”

“All you have to do is watch in silence. It’s not about disturbing the atmosphere with unnecessary noise.”

“Okay. Don’t do that.”

The reason why he showed me his agitation must be because of Urca’s unexpected proposal.

The right to indulge yourself.

When he heard that, the face of the Duke of Tori had a seizure.

I know. Why did he react like that?

Duke Tori and Urca had a tragic relationship that had to be separated due to the difference between being a human and a beast.

To be precise, the relationship between the two broke down because Tori chose the reality of aristocratic image and politics, but I couldn’t just blame Tori for that.

At that time, that was the only way to protect Urca.

In the end, he married another woman, and the relationship ended, but he still had feelings for Urca.

That’s probably why I suggested that you subdue Urca so she can live.

“Urca, do you remember what you said yesterday?”

“Are you saying you have the right to do with me?”

“Yes.”

“Of course I remember. But that’s it. This is a fair match, but isn’t it a bit strange that only this side has a penalty?”

Are you asking for a wish yourself?

“…… What do you want?”

“If I win, you, come under me.”

Below me. Are you going to make a resistance?

Seeing that I was with Iris and Maria, he seemed to have thought that he had no prejudice against other races.

“Can I ask why?”

“I liked you.”

I feel a strange obsession in his sparkling eyes.

Only Duke Tori would look like that. Why are you shoveling in an awkward place?

“Good. Accept it.”

“Come up. I will do it right.”

I stepped on the stairs and looked around as I climbed to the top of the arena.

In the bleachers were our party and the duke’s servants and other knights.

Stepping on the floor of the arena.

“The duel rules are simple. Do not create obstacles that are inconvenient for future life. And don’t kill me.”

Aside from that, I can do anything.

It was a simple yet bloody rule.

Urca stretches and relaxes her body flexibly. If nothing else, breaking a leg was an art.

“Aren’t you stretching? Are you hurt then?”

“Am I able to afford to worry about the other person?”

“I don’t want to hear that my body hasn’t worked out for nothing.”

I snorted and silently drew my sword.

[Equipped with 「Unshakable Vengeance」.]

[You can temporarily use the skill 「Ghost」.]

[Equipped with 「Wind Sword – Aura」.

[You can use wind-type magic below tier 8.]

[Durability does not exist. It is an indestructible item.]

“Twin swords? Just because there are many swords doesn’t mean they are all good.”

I wonder if the person who owns so many daggers makes me question where they are stored.

“Don’t worry.”

‘Who do you think is possessed by my body? It was Mo Sol who died without ever hugging a woman, but if she only looked at the sword for her entire life, she would say she lived.’

I’m sure he’d be good at handling dual swords.

[Didn’t you think of being rude?]

“It can’t be.”

You have a very good sense.

“Tell me when you are ready. I’ll wait for you.”

Throwing and catching the dagger, he said. Pretend to be relaxed.

“「Ghost」.”

[Activates the skill 「Ghost」.]

“Pasma, how are you feeling?”

“Not bad.”

“Then I will go quickly.”

I had no intention of fighting Urca for a long time.

Aside from her magical powers, it was a group of people who hadn’t been able to take all of her sword attacks with brute force. She didn’t even have the confidence to respond to every nimble movement.

So there was only one choice I had to make.

One hit kill.

“Illusion sword method.”

Phasma took her stance. Power her legs with full force and power her aura.

This was an action in preparation for being pushed away while using the skill.

“Ha! Do you think I’ll give you time to use technology?!”

As she throws the dagger with the embers on it, it kicks her in the ground. Muttered as he watched her rapidly closing the distance with her sword.

“High-speed movement.”

Phasma moved my body and stopped where she was a moment ago.

The thrown sword languishes into the ground and sparks a fire.

“That technology…… ! It seems much faster than yesterday?”

Of course,

I used it then, and now Phasma, who has all the senses, is using it.

That’s not what you have to worry about.

“Illusion Storm””

The sword was swung in the air.

* * *

“Whoa… …. It feels like this. Got it?”

[What the hell are you……. Can this really be called a welcome sword?]

“I can.”

This is Tina’s combination of Phasma’s Illusion Sword and Ariel’s Wind Magic.

I glanced back at the party.

In the background, Ariel and Thelma… And Dex, who had secretly followed him, opened his mouth wide.

Apart from other people, I didn’t expect Ariel to react like that.

“What is this… …. What did you do?”

She asked what I had done. I looked in the direction Ariel was pointing.

There was a canyon that was cut out round.

The sight of a mountain disappearing was beyond the scope of human beings.

“It’s a simple story. I loaded my magic. That’s all.”

I said while shaking my aura moderately.

Just because my body is weak doesn’t mean I don’t have mana. If you have mana, you can use the artefact’s skills as much as you like.

That’s why it’s a item that can only be obtained in the second half.

“It’s not such a simple story. Prause you… What the hell is it?”

“It was loaded with magical power.”

“Did I ask that? No matter how strong that weapon is, it cannot be used above the 8th tier. You have to be at least level 9 to use a terrain transformation class skill.”

You’re talking about the sword for nothing.

The fortunate thing is that all the people who will listen to the information are dumbfounded.

“I can’t believe it… …. Is this the real Prause?”

“This is unexpected for me too… ….”

Thelma and Dex murmur and look at the changed natural scenery.

* * *

The feeling of slowly cutting through the air is transmitted to your fingertips.

Ah, not bad.

Koo-kwa-kwa-kwaa!!

The explosion, which started from the floor of the arena, continued to one side of the arena, where there were no spectators.

Citizens’ screams can be heard through the cracks in the collapsed building.

“I’m glad you can control your strength properly.”

“Yes. One side of the city would have been completely destroyed if I had used the force as I did in the mountains.”

It was only me and Phasma who could talk normally in this place.

I glanced around and found that Urca, who was standing facing me, Tori, who was watching from the corner of the arena, and those sitting in the bleachers, were unable to open their mouths.

As the illusionary storm passed, Urca saw the ruins and gnashed her teeth.

“What are you, what the hell… ….”

“It is the sincerity you wished for. I knew that if I hit this, I would die, so I purposely wrote it the other way.”

Phasma distorts my face. Intentionally raising the corners of his mouth, he provoked with a grin.

It wasn’t Urca who would just get over it.

“This bastard… ….”

She drew her dagger. I pointed at Urca with the tip of my sword.

“I’ll get it right next time. Give up the duel now. Otherwise, you will die.”

This is exactly what I wanted!

It was a psychological warfare.

It was the first thing I wrote to show the absolute gap that I couldn’t win like Incuro last time.

“Ha! Interesting, this!”

But it seemed that only the ignorant Incuro could communicate. sh*t.

I tried to go easy, but it seemed to only stimulate her temper.

“I really meant to kill you, right? Then, even if this side tries to kill you, will you have nothing to say?”

“Do you think you can kill me?”

At my arrogant tone, veins form at her temples. Opening her eyes, she glared at her with murderous intent.

“Okay, let’s try to see who dies!”

Kick the ground. Where she was, her cement floor cracked and fragments of her sprang up.

She approaches her and, without hesitation, swings her dagger at her neck.

Kang!

As the dagger collided with the spirit of revenge, an intense fire rose up.

She immediately put several of her daggers hidden in her thighs between her fingers and plunged them into her floor.

The daggers stuck in the ground made a cracking sound and lit a fire.

With a gurgling sound, the surrounding temperature rises rapidly.

“I will burn it as it is!”

Chiik!

The hot flames seem to burn the skin. The rapidly sublimating ice protects the body, but it doesn’t seem like it can last long.

“Somehow, fire doesn’t work on me.”

In the meantime, she sighed inwardly as she saw Phasma provoking her once more. Do you know how I feel right now, do you?

“I prepared for the fire attribute, is this it!”

He gave me strength as if he was trying to stab me with a dagger. As expected, he began to be pushed back little by little, as if he could not compete with his strength.

“Huh!”

Just before the sword that blocked her dagger was pushed back, she swung another aura.

Booung-!

Unfortunately, she escaped my sword. She pulls back and keeps her distance. I walked away coughing.

“If this is all, it is disappointing. It’s not like I’ve become an S-class like this—”

Pair!

She clapped her hands.

“Come, Ignis.”

The moment she mentioned her elemental’s name, fire erupted from her skin. At the same time, Urca’s hair was dyed red.

“Did you think you could beat me with just that much?”

It touches the flames on its skin and creates a sword formed from the flames.

“「Chlorophyll Dance」.”

“Nanmura… …. I also wanted to try this in practice. Good for you.”

Phasma said as she channeled her aura. Grasping her vengeance with both of her hands, she braces herself.

“”Welcome to dance””

The two kicked off their seats almost at the same time, and Phasma and Urca collided in fierce flames.
