My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 3. Misunderstanding that gets worse (11)

Kang! Kang!

A blow. Apart.

Every time the aura and sparks collided, the sparks flew in all directions.

Boom!

Evasion.

Urca’s sword cuts through the air. The tempo of the wild dance is off, and at the same time the sword’s trajectory is disturbed.

Phasma caught up behind her and swung her sword at her throat.

Boom!

She manages to dodge her as she lowers her head. She faces Phasma once more.

As if aiming for a counter, he dug deep into Phasma’s arms. But this time, her blow did not reach my body.

Kang!

However, the attacks that Phasma wielded consisted of attacks that would inevitably result in fatal injuries if Urca did not block them.

Boom!

Urca’s sword, which he swung in line with the sword’s trajectory, cut through the air again. On the other hand, Phasma’s sword dug right into her side.

Kang!

However, the speed was higher than that one. Protect your body with agile speed.

“What kind of swordsmanship is this…… !”

Urca grumbled as she wielded her sword.

She gnawed her teeth at the phantasmagoric continuation of her toes, which penetrated Urca’s gaps as if spinning, turning her toes.

“On the other hand, your swordsmanship is too easy to understand.”

Phasma swings her sword, aiming for Urca’s leg.

Kang!

Urca defends again this time.

Apart from Phasma’s words, I was admiring Urca’s movements.

Despite constantly misperceiving the trajectory of Phasma’s attacks, Urca was parrying all of his blows.

I knew from before how great her agility and dynamic vision were, but when I experienced it, I felt that I was not an S-class for nothing.

Kang! Booung! Kang! Kang!

The swords collided with each other with countless consecutive attacks, but they couldn’t deliver proper blows to each other.

If this body were Phasma’s original body, she would have handled the situation more easily than she does now.

“Kuu! “Wall of Fire!”

Fire rose violently from the floor.

“High-speed movement.”

I grabbed her completely from behind and stabbed her in the lower back.

Kang!

“…… !”

At that moment, her hair turned to fire, blocking her stab. Urca stared at me with her squint.

“…… That’s great. A speed I can barely follow with my eyes. There’s nothing strange about becoming S-class right now. Are you still weak?”

I jumped backwards and distanced myself from Urca.

I have nothing to say because I was stabbed.

I’m running out of breath.

There was no place where the forearms and shoulders weren’t pulled. Her muscles feel like they’re about to burst. Hands tremble slightly.

As expected, we went into a long-term battle, and we were the ones who lost our stamina first.

Even though Phasma’s swordsmanship was excellent, in the end, I was maximally efficient in my body, which was not trained, so as time passed, I was at a disadvantage.

“Can’t you see that wall is broken?”

“Didn’t you guess?”

“Then you would be one hundred percent dead.”

“…… I can’t deny it.”

She readily admitted. Although I was very displeased with her shrugged attitude.

“I’ll admit that you are on a higher level than me. But in the game, the story is different. Because you didn’t hit me anyway. Surely you won’t make excuses for losing with that?”

“That can’t be. I don’t act nasty like that.”

That’s what I said, but to be honest, everything would have been fine if I had just hit the welcome storm and finished it.

There wouldn’t have been a need to accumulate fatigue in the body like this.

“Don’t you think you enjoyed it too much? Phasma.”

“That woman responded well.”

That was not wrong.

It seems that I have definitely realized the S-class in this moment.

Because during Incuro, there was always a feeling of being overtaken.

“The last sum is everything. My arms can’t stand it any longer.”

“I see. Then I’ll have no choice but to cut through the flames of that woman.”

Mana began to be sucked into his vengeful spirit. Aura density increases.

“…… Is this the final blow?”

Watching the color of the aura getting darker, Urca took a posture.

Then she is engulfed in flames from Urca’s shoulder to her arm. It was the half-god manifestation of Ignis.

A moan escapes from the audience at the heat rising to the sky. Even though it was a considerable distance away, the heat seemed to be felt even there.

Of course, being close to me was about to die.

I don’t know how to use mana, but if it wasn’t for Frost’s hobby, my skin would have melted from the heat.

“This won’t stop.”

“Go.”

Phasma and Urca run towards each other.

The two met in the center in less than a second and swung their swords without hesitation.

* * *

The moment the two swords collided, flames shot up into the sky creating a tornado.

The tornado, which lasted for several seconds, gradually weakened as time passed.

“Who won?!”

Dex’s cry from the bleachers.

No one could have predicted the outcome. Until you see it with your own eyes.

A few seconds of silence.

Prause stood proudly in the place where the flames that scorched the arena had completely extinguished.

As she silently inserted her sword, she looked at the sprawling Urca. She lay on the floor of the arena, bleeding her blood.

From her shoulder to her side, her body was etched with the perfect blow.

“Prause won!”

Hooray for Tina,

“As expected, Mr. Prause!”

Iris clenched her fists,

“Awesome… ….”

Maria quietly claps.

“I beat the S rank. Really. This is money-making information!”

Dex took his paper from his bosom and wrote feverishly.

Thelma didn’t say anything, and Ariel watched with interest.

‘No matter how much Phasma power they have, S-class adventurers are comparable to heroes. You can never win with the body of an ordinary ordinary person. Perhaps, it was because of her seemingly limitless amount of mana that was able to defeat her. Including my weapon.’

Ariel looked at Prause as she slowly walked towards the fallen Urca and analyzed it.

“He really surprises me every time. The Prause. That’s why it’s fun.”

She smiled and muttered while looking at Prause.

Meanwhile, the knights on the other side couldn’t keep their mouths shut as they watched the two fight.

“That’s what happens when S-classes stick together…… ?”

One knight opened his mouth in admiration. Then, the knights who were engrossed next to them began to speak one by one.

“Apart from Urca, who the hell is that person? Are you seeing this for the first time?”

“I am also curious about that. Competing dozens of matches with Urca, who has tremendous movement, and is not pushed back in mana.”

“But how did you break the walls of the arena? The walls of the arena are covered with special protection magic, so even the sword master has a hard time cutting them.”

A knight pointed to a wall collapsed by a phantom storm.

“Ah, I guess it wasn’t that much.”

“Isn’t it?”

“Even so…… Is there anyone who can break that?”

“…… Maybe there isn’t Because it never happened before.”

“Oh, so does anyone know who he is?”

“I heard that the name is still unknown? I am not an adventurer or a knight.”

“What? Even though you have that much power, your name is not known? Does that make sense?”

“But at this level…… Isn’t that person stronger than some S class?”

“Then what is the rank? SS class?”

“Well… ….”

“Is this how we organize the ranks of S-class adventurers? Kya I want to see you again, really.”

The knights were silent for a moment as if feeling the lingering remnants of the battle.

And now, the conversation and admiration of the knights will become an opportunity for Prause to make a name for himself in the future.

* * *

“Are you okay?”

Cool!

Urca spat blood from her mouth. She exhales heavily and rolls her glazed eyes to look at me.

“Okay, I’ll be fine…… ?”

“Urca!!”

Duke Tori hurries up to the arena. In his hand was the finest potion.

He hugged her bleeding and immediately put her potion in her mouth.

“Drink, hurry up. Then I will die.”

Drink well, gulp. With about 1/3 left, he put down the potion and started ripping Urca’s clothes.

It was to pour the potion on the wound.

Seeing her body with huge cuts, he looked at me while biting her lower lip.

“I have to go this far—”

“I was strong enough to do this.”

Cutting his words, he said firmly.

In the first place, the request to beat the S class was supposed to be taken by the warriors, not me.

It wasn’t the kind of existence that a clumsy human like me could deal with. However, because the timing was too early, I had no choice but to step out.

In the game, in the year 996 of the Imperial Era, Urca arbitrarily cuts ties with Aus and is about to leave to kill the emperor.

However, I completed the request six years earlier.

Perhaps the reason for this was that I was called a sword master by adventurers.

Even after hearing the title of the sixth Sword Master, there was no way Duke Tori would stay still.

In the game, rumors don’t spread no matter how strong they are, and things go as planned, but in reality, all causes and effects were variables.

That’s why I tried to keep my name as low as possible.

As long as you beat the S-class Urca, that wish won’t come true anymore.

“Give me some potions.”

“Here it is.”

Duke Tori rummaged through her pockets and handed me a potion. It was the same potion she used on her.

He slowly pours the potion on Urca’s wound.

As this is the finest potion, there will be no scars left.

I also drank the potion and relieved the pain in my whole body caused by burns. My muscle pain also felt better.

“Whoa… ….”

Urca, who had already regained his strength, stood up.

Freed from Duke Tori’s arms, she sits on the floor of her arena and looks up at me.

“Is Urca okay?”

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

I said without even looking at Duke Tori. It was just staring at me. Burdensome.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Do you still have mana left?”

I tilted my head at her words.

Is that so? You should be able to feel mana.

“I see. You…… You played with me from the beginning.”

…… Huh? Why is the interpretation like that?

I… No, Phasma did her best?

“If I had added more mana to the sword, my sword wouldn’t have lasted. He couldn’t even respond to that swordsmanship that seemed to see visions.”

Is that so? Has she barely used up her mana?

“It was my rout. hahahaha, that’s why…… I won’t be able to achieve my goals in my life.”

She crouched down in front of her, analyzing her couplets by herself and passing down her verdict.

Dalian is sparring, breaking her will is one thing.

“Isn’t it obvious? Did you think you could be anything if you were an S-class adventurer?”

“…… What? What did you say now?”

“It means don’t waste your life on useless thoughts.”

Duke Tori is taken aback by my words.

He didn’t explain why I had to subdue Urca. And yet, I know the reason, so I can’t help but be surprised.

“If it was something you had to shoulder alone, no one would suffer. The goal you think is useless. Throw it away.”

That’s how we respond when the four corps commanders attack.

“Yeah, what do you know to say such a thing?!”

“It means to live and see the sight of all other races being freed from slavery one day and living on an equal footing with humans.”

“!”

“…… Good job.”

I got up from my seat. He hurriedly stood up after me and grabbed my arm.

“Now wait a minute! Prause… What the hell are you…….”

“What is it?”

“…… No.”

She shook her head vigorously.

“More than that, Prause, you earned the right to do as you please with me. I will follow your advice from now on. Whatever.”

“Then stay in Aus territory and defend this city. So that the place where you live is not destroyed by demons.”

“I am still doing that.”

“Okay then.”

I heard you’re doing well. What would you be complaining about?

I removed Urca’s hand from my arm and turned around.

Let’s get some rest now.
