“Shouldn’t you come back after changing clothes?”
As soon as I asked, Yuika lunged in again, thrusting with her right sword.
“I don’t want to go back to the dormitory because Noel will be angry.”
I dodged her thrust, but Yuika spun to the side and slashed at me with her left sword.
“What did you do?”
While asking, I ducked to avoid her attack and kicked off the water surface to sweep her legs.
“I touched her breasts.”
“Details please.”
As her legs were swept, Yuika lost her balance but pushed off the ground with her hands and jumped up.
She landed at a distance from me.
“It’s just… there was something big right in front of me, so I touched it.”
Hmm….
“By the way, I saw your underwear.”
“Those are training panties.”
So, they’re the same thing after all.
“Why can’t you two shut up and just fight? Besides, your conversation is extremely vulgar.”
“Rather, Yuika, you should apologize to Noel.”
I think I should apologize too.
“Noel gets scary when she’s angry…”
Well, since Noel is usually always smiling, it’s frightening when she gets angry.
“You should ask Ilmera to mediate.”
While saying this, I lunged in this time and threw a kick somewhat held back.
“Ilmera is sleeping.”
Yuika evades by jumping and thrusts her sword at my face.
“You should wake her up.”
As I say this while dodging the sword, I grab her arm and throw her over my shoulder.
“Ugh… Once Ilmera sleeps, she doesn’t wake up until morning.”
Yuika lands on her feet and puts some distance between us.
“Hmm, then you’ll have to kneel and beg, won’t you?”
“That’s the only option… I see. Tsukasa, you’re strong. Every move I make is obvious to you.”
“Well, your intentions are too predictable. And I’m observing too much.”
I can read it from your eye movements.
“Eyes… I see.”
I don’t know what Yuika comprehended, but she closed her eyes.
“What an idiot. There’s an idiot here.”
“No, that’s definitely Clairvoyance over there.”
They’re getting excited over there.
“Is it okay to go?”
“You should come. I’ll show you my full potential.”
With that, I used space magic to retrieve my wallet and threw it to the right.
As soon as the wallet hit the ground, I lunged from the left without making a sound.
However, Yuika didn’t react to the wallet at all.
“I fell for it… this is the half-closed eye strategy.”
Yuika opens her eyes and slashes at me.
Apparently, she hadn’t completely closed her eyes.
“Shit!”
Thinking I couldn’t dodge, I infused magic in my left arm to defend.
Yuika’s sword hit my left arm and cut deep into it.
“Ouch… But it doesn’t hurt that much.”
Yuika’s sword is embedded in my left arm and stopped against the bone.
However, no blood is flowing out at all.
“Ugh, it won’t cut through… this is an extraordinary amount of magic.”
“Hey, why isn’t the blood coming out?”
This wound should definitely bleed, but there’s none at all.
“Here, in such a place. Once combat inability occurs, you’ll be sent to the spectator area, but until then, there’s no special damage and pain is somewhat reduced.”
“Hmm… Yuika, brace your stomach.”
“Huh?”
I slapped her with the palm of my hand to her solar plexus.
ThenYuika flies several meters away and lands. She crouches down, holding her abdomen.
“Hmm… This feels weird…”
After pulling out the sword that remained in my left arm, the wound immediately starts to close without leaving any blood.
“Scary! What is this!?”
“Damage accumulation. That’s how it goes. Once you’re counted down to combat inability, it’s over.”
Frank is teaching me.
“Hmm… Can you stand up, Yuika?”
Yuika is still crouched down.
“No… way…”
As Yuika says that, her figure disappears.
“Ah, Yuika has become combat incapable.”
“Yeah, that’s how it goes.”
Cedric points at the spectator area where Yuika is seated.
“Hmm…”
Yuika immediately stands up, steps down from the spectator area, and comes over to us.
“Mu… You’re strong..”
After Yuika came up to me and looked up,
“You should improve on the fact that your attacks stop. A type that confuses with speed will be in trouble if it stops.”
Normally, with that move, the arm would fly. After that, they’d sever the neck with the other sword.
I don’t want my head to fly…
“Scary…”
“Who’s even saying that? Frank, you should do it next. I just found out, but even if the pain is reduced, the agony of not being able to breathe is unchanged. I thought I was going to die…”
The solar plexus, huh…
“There’s no way we’d want to do something like that after watching your fights, both of you.”
“The two of you are calm but doing horrible things, huh. But the strategies on both sides were pretty poor, though.”
Shut up…
“My half-closed eye strategy was a success… ah…”
Yuika notices something and looks at the entrance of the practice field.
And there stands Noel, smiling.
“Ah… Go see her over there.”
“I think Noel will forgive you if you apologize sincerely.”
“Show what the Japanese way of apologizing is.”
After we say that, Yuika goes to Noel and performs a beautiful prostration.
“Shall we return?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay then…”
As we try to make ourselves as inconspicuous as possible and slip past Yuika, who’s desperately making excuses, we return to the dormitory.
After parting ways with Frank and Cedric, I return to my room.
“Sort of tired, let’s try drinking something.”
I take out a potion bought for 1000 mana from space magic and try it.
“Yeah… it’s bitter…”
It has a medicine-like taste…
Maybe it’s better to get what Sharl gave me…
After putting the empty bottle on the desk, I leave the room and go down to the first floor.
When I peek into the living room, Mother is watching TV alone.
“Ah, welcome back. Dinner will be ready in a bit.”
“Yeah. Mother, can I talk to you for a second?”
“What is it?”
Mother turns toward me.
“Earlier, I fought with one of Akaba’s children in the practice field.”
“Are you saying you fought with Yuika? It’s not good to fight with girls too much. Women tend to unite in such cases you know?”
It was just a challenge…
Well, I’ll be careful.
“Then, even though Yuika cut my arm during the fight, I managed to stop it with reinforcement magic. At that time, I noticed something: in the practice field, if your arm is cut, can’t you take off the bracelet?”
After hearing this, Mother turns off the TV.
“That’s impossible. Principal says that the bracelet is integrated with your arm. So, I think you can’t take it off even if you cut it. It should revert to its original state.”
Oh…that’s a no…
“Then, impossible?”
“You have to learn to remove the curse patiently. Of course, the Lafolge family is working on it too…”
We hope they work hard.
“Understood~ Ah, Mother~ I want you to buy something for me…”
“What is it?”
“A trident called Trident.”
“No way.”
Of course….
