[With that cheap weapon you wonât be able to get even half of your true ability right?]
[Do not bother. I donât want your help ââ and less from the Regalia]
This guy is a member of the Regalia family?
So thatâs Aria hate him so much.
Because this guy is from the family that (maybe) destroyed hers.
Despite that, why doesnât this guy get it?
âŚâŚ. Is he an idiot?
[Certainly our families had their differences. But, my heart ached knowing that your family was destroyed]
[âŚâŚâŚ]
[Thatâs why I want to be of help to you, even a little bit]
Obviously Aria didnât like this.
But, her opponent had no intention of backing down.
If at least his words had some sincerity, it would have touched Ariaâs heart a bit.
However, he has that superior attitude.
He had this arrogance that there is no way he wonât accept my help with how worried I am.
Itâs starting to piss me off.
I may be a stranger, but I decided to interrupt the two of them.
[Hey, enough already. Canât you see Aria doesnât like it?]
[A commoner like you should just keep quiet. Also, donât call her by her name]
Can I hit him⌠..?
My anger was still intact.
[So, letâs solve it with a duel]
[What?]
[I donât think a nobleman is afraid to confront a commoner, right?]
*
I was in front of Lyos.
[Youâre an Idiot. I canât believe you challenged me to a duel, you must learn to know your place]
[⌠..Is it really okay?]
[Yes donât worry]
Aria asked me with concern, but I nodded confidently.
âŚâŚ .Iâm really a bit worried though.
Even though my physical capabilities has increased, the opponent is a noble and a student of the knight academy.
Not only is he a nasty guy, he must also have skill.
Can I win against him like I am now?
However, a promise was made that whoever lost would never get close to Aria again.
So I canât afford to lose.
âGoodness gracious. In this situation it would be better to say it as a man âwhoever wins will marry herâ.
Shut up.
You know what could happen if I lose, right?
Also, it is necessary to agree with the person himself.
ăYou must say it in a convinced wayâ I will definitely win â, and when you really win, you can get any woman! It is safe! First wife obtained! ă
Yes, yes, whatever you say.
I am amazed as always by this perverted sword. I decided to get into position.
Itâs the stance Aria taught me.
According to what she told me, Lyosâ skills is genuine.
He learned from excellent instructors at an early age, he also has a history of being in competitions in various places, and he has a lot of experience in interpersonal fights.
Also, it appears that he has defeated various B-Rank monsters.
Luckily, his current gear appears to be just a sword and some accessories, but they were what the prestigious nobles wore.
At first glance they may seem like common accessories, but there are some that have special effects to increase physical or magical abilities.
[This sword is second grade for practices, but has a mithril alloy. Itâs better than that second-hand sword you have]
ăWho are you calling secondhand !? Hey, stab him from the butt! ă
Itâs fine by me, but youâll get dirty.
ăAhh, thats true. Iâd rather not get dirty ă
Other than that, will I really be able to win according to what you said?
ăâTrust meâă
After all, I couldnât go back.
I was already prepared
[Come whenever you want]
Lyos didnât seem to have much of a mood in sight.
Besides, it would be a miserable thing to get serious against a commoner, and Iâll take it easy to show Aria how cool I am, she surely thinks so.
But thatâs an opportunity.
I stomped on the ground.
I closed the distance in an instant, and made an attack to his flabk.
Although he was somewhat surprised by the speed, Lyos opened his mouth still having that calm expression.
[Hee~, not bad. But that level is nothing at all]
My sword was stopped by his.
At that moment, a clear metallic sound rang out.
[What!]
Lyos rolled his eyes.
What his eyes followed, was the tip of his sword.
It spun in the air and hit the ground.
[I-impossible âŚâŚ]
The sword that remained in his hand was a blade that was cut cleanly in the middle.
The tip was stuck in the ground.
Whoops.
To think that it could really be cut.
ăI told you, that sword level is like cutting a paperă
Certainly the sharpness of the was divine blade Venus is impressive.
But, he did not expect that he could cut a mithril sword.
âŚâŚ ..Although the feeling I donât think is that of cutting a paper.
Lyosâs hands and lips were shaking as he stared at the severed part of the sword in a way hard to believe.
[T-This is⌠..impossible⌠..]
I put the tip of my sword right in front of his nose.
[This is over]
[âŚâŚ Huh!]
I donât think he can fight with a broken sword.
And it seems that he has no replacement.
[You will have to fulfill your promise]
[Kuh⌠.. bloody commoner âŚâŚ]
Lyos distorted his beautiful face, and stared at me.
[Donât be a sore loser, Lyos. You were defeated]
[AriaâŚ..]
Gritting his teeth in frustration, Lyos this time looked at Aria.
However, as if he had thought of something, he made a smug smile.
[You will definitely regret this silly decision]
Saying that, Lyos left.
âŚâŚ. Rather than accepting defeat, it was a somewhat sinister sentence.
