“Good job, kids.”

Asbel offers words of comfort to Sarah, Kadira, and Lina as they come down after finishing their training.

But those who came down were so shocked at not winning that they couldn’t answer her words.

“Answer the Princess’s call.”

“Now is the time to comfort Lavez.”

“Okay, I understand. It was a fight I was destined to lose.”

“…Just stay quiet for now, Lavez.”

“Okay.”

Labes followed Asbel’s orders and stood behind her.

“I really couldn’t last even a minute…”

“This is the difference between the 10 warriors and us?”

“I still thought I might win.”

Asbel began to notice that even Lina, who had the strongest mental strength, was exhausted.

Now that everyone except Logs has finished sparring.

No one has ever beaten Ruggs.

In the first place, no one thought they could beat him.

I can only hope that maybe?

And Asbel couldn’t easily speak to them after their hopes were dashed.

As the atmosphere became increasingly worse, it was not Asbel but Ad who spoke first.

“This match was not a match to win, but a match to grow.”

Asbel was impressed by Ade’s words.

‘A place where you couldn’t find even a single bit of delicacy…’

I’ve grown up!

Then I guess I can leave this to Adhan…

“Ah, of course I don’t know if there was any growth for you guys who couldn’t even last a minute. But still.”

“Shut up Ruggy!!”

widely!

Rugis ran straight towards Ad and aimed his sword.

“What, what are you doing!”

“It is the princess’s order. Stay quiet.”

Asbel exhaled and looked back at the three people who were lying dead in the grass. He hoped they hadn’t heard what Ade had said.

But Ad’s voice was too loud.

The three people who heard his words sat down on the floor with even more miserable expressions on their faces.

“Ugh! Where did you go!”

“What the heck…!”

“Shut up.”

Asbel approached them urgently and opened his mouth.

“Well, I don’t think any of us will win. Should we have a consolation party?”

Sarah responded to Asbel’s words of comfort.

“There are logs…”

“Seo, you can’t possibly win? Even if you’re a logger… you can’t possibly win, right?”

“…right? He can’t do it either?”

Sarah reacted to those words.

“Of course!”

“Yeah, he can’t even last 10 seconds, so who would he be kidding?”

Asbel inwardly apologized to Logs and thought it was fortunate that Sarah was simple-minded.

The remaining ones are Lina and Kadira.

Kadira says that if you give her something delicious, she’ll be easily solved, and Lina…

Asbel turned his gaze to Lina.

Lina was taking a deep breath with a firm expression. With that kind of expression, it would be okay not to try to comfort her.

Someone tapped Asbel on the shoulder, who felt relieved at their appearance.

“Surprise.”

When he looked back, he saw the angry face of Adrian looking down at him.

“When you see the princess, smile, aren’t you scared?”

Ad glared at Raves. But Ad forced a smile, knowing that he could not beat him when it came to matters related to the princess.

“Laves Lee, it’s okay to stop now.”

“Okay.”

Laves put the sword he had been aiming at Adrian back into its scabbard.

“Ha…”

“Oh, sorry.”

“Tsk, it’s okay.”

Adeun opened her mouth, caressing her neck.

“Ashbel, do you think you’ll lose to a loser?”

“Huh?”

Asbel was taken aback by his sudden question. But Adrian paid no attention and continued speaking.

“I think that guy will create another anomaly.”

Sarah looked disgusted at those words.

“Ugh…Why are you suddenly taking Logs’ side?”

“I’m not saying this to be biased, I’m just saying the truth. He’s strong.”

Sarah now spoke with concern in her tone, responding to his serious words.

“…Is it okay if I bring him to the Asbel consolation party? He must have been quite shocked.”

“Huh? I was planning on taking you with me from the beginning?”

“Why? No, anyway, do you think Logs can win?”

“Yeah.”

“Then let’s make a bet. ”

At Sarah’s suggestion, Adrian smiled in amusement.

“Okay. I bet on winning.”

“I’m losing! Asbel, what about you?”

“I,I…that…”

“Your Highness, I know it’s rude, but let me tell you something. I also think he’ll win.”

“Oh my! Kids! These crazy guys!!”

The logs-less logs bet that started like that ended with a score of 4 to 6.

Sarah was surprised by the tighter result than expected, but she was smiling.

“The loser should grant the winner’s wish.”

“Good.”

“I’ll tell you in advance. If I win, I’ll make you dress up as a woman.”

“Ha! I’ll tell you in advance. If I win, you’ll lose a month of training.”

‘That doesn’t seem like a penalty…’

“Ugh!!”

‘…Sarah was that kind of person.’

Sarah and Ad are keeping each other in check with a fierce staring contest.

Someone approached them.

“Is this the last game already?”

She was Ella Stella of the Nine Warriors.

Sarah answered Ella’s questions calmly.

“Yes.”

“Oh my…I missed my senior’s sparring.”

“Huh? What did you just say…”

“No, it’s nothing. Then, since it’s the last game…is it the Logs Avance game?”

“Yes, I just started.”

“Just now? But why is he lying down?”

“Huh!? Already?”

Sarah and the kids looked at the stadium. And above the stadium.

There was a log lying there coldly.

“Get up you rascal!! My dignity depends on you!”

***

‘If it was going to be like this, I shouldn’t have planned the operation today…’

I didn’t have any hope before or after the duel. How could a group with three top students, known as the strongest first-year students in the academy, win against a group with only two students?

This wasn’t a fight in the first place. It was just a regular assault.

Rugis destroyed all the mana in my defenses, so I couldn’t properly support Yasha.

He didn’t fight with the sword and didn’t bring it, and his hands were like this, so there was nothing he could do.

Now all I can do is wait for Yasha to fall.

It’s not that I don’t want to win, though.

I don’t really like risking my life in a fight I can’t win.

bang!

“I promised to win with Logz.”

***

When Logs was fooling everyone by pretending to faint.

The battle between Yasha and Rugis continued.

“That’s pretty good.”

“Huh!”

bang!

“You have a very good teacher. Your fundamentals are very good.”

bang!

“The response speed is also very good.”

bang!

“I really like that it doesn’t even give you a chance to make mistakes.”

“Ugh…”

The attack speed of the Rugis was definitely slow. They only had attacks that were clearly visible.

However, Yasha could only block his attacks without being able to counterattack or dodge them.

bang!

Even though Yasha, who was confident in his physical strength and ability to endure pain, was able to just block the blow, it was not easy to endure the pain coming up from his hand.

Even if his attacks were blocked, they were not blocked. In the end, it was Yasha who suffered and lost stamina.

bang!

“If there’s one thing I regret, it’s that every time he attacks, his gaze is too honest.”

“Hoo…”

“It’s been over a minute. If you just fix that gaze, you’ll be a very good warrior.”

“Thank you…”

“Usually when you’re alone, you just give up…but why are you so desperate?”

“I promised to win with Logz. So I will win.”

“Oh…that’s how we were.”

Rugis muttered softly.

Pot!

He stood right in front of Yasha and asked quietly.

“Are you that man’s servant?”

Yasha frowned at the question.

“Why are you asking such a question?”

“That’s why most commoners follow nobles.”

“Logs isn’t that kind of person.”

“Really? Then break time is over.”

Rugis brought down his sword.

A tremendous sword energy met her spear.

Boom!

Yasha felt his sword energy change, which he had almost completely adapted to, and fell away from him in confusion.

“You’re the first person to adapt to my sword in just one part.”

“Because that’s my specialty.”

“Haha, that’s funny. Let me tell you something. I actually had high expectations for this guy. I have a good eye for it.”

“I see. I also think Logs is great…”

“But not anymore. You look more awesome now.”

“…”

Sarah frowned again and aimed her spear at him.

“That…would have been better if you hadn’t said it.”

Realizing that Yasha was angry, Ruggis smiled.

“I only listen to strong people.”

“I see. Then we can communicate well.”

Pot!

bang!

‘Oh… the style has changed.’

Rugis exclaimed in admiration at her fighting style, which seemed to have broken the seal.

Yasha continued to overwhelm him, ignoring the pain in his hands that he felt with each attack. For a very brief moment.

But that overwhelming moment was just a time to get to know Ruggis’s skills.

“Very good. Your gaze is no longer dishonest, and your reaction speed has doubled since then.”

“…”

Yasha pushed him away without answering. And then one word came to Yasha’s mind.

‘I win.’

bang!

“But.”

BANG!!

“The basic skills that were good before are gone.”

The image of a flying spear was reflected in Yasha’s eyes.

It was clearly a spear that was held tightly.

It fell out of her hands.

And the floor rolled.

“There is plenty of potential for growth. Keep working hard at the Academy in the future…!”

Phew!

“Can’t lose.”

“You even know how to use martial arts?”

“I promised. I will never lose.”

“Your fighting style is hot, but your love is also hot. I think that’s good too.”

Ugh.

Rugis struck Yasha’s neck, knocking her unconscious.

“Is this the end? The one I was expecting never woke up…”

“We will live up to your expectations!!”

Rugis quickly turned around at the sound of a man’s voice behind him.

There, Logs was running towards him, already a few centimeters away from him.

“I knew it from the beginning.”

Rugis quickly raised his sword without any change in expression. His right hand was injured, but it wasn’t like he had a sword in his left hand.

The only magic we’ve seen of his so far is defensive magic.

But that defense can be easily broken.

If you rush in without a plan, you will be disappointed, but if you have something to show, you will be excited.

However, Ruggs could tell that Logs had no plan as he blocked his attacks with a defensive line.

“When making a surprise attack, be quiet and do not use an attack twice that does not work on the opponent.”

“It’s not a surprise attack, so you don’t know if it will work or not!!”

[Skill) Defense Formation (Absolute Defense)]

Bam!

Rugis’ attack was blocked beautifully by the defense.

“Caught.”

Logs’ hand was placed on Ruggis’ shoulder.

“…”

Rugis dropped his sword and extended both hands towards Logs. Huh?

widely!

“As expected, I have an eye for it. It’s as strong as I expected!”

“Yes?”

Logs was surprised by those words.

“Ah! Damn it, I said it!!!”

Ella was frustrated by those words.
