Acquired the EX-class attribute ‘Transcendence Copy’

46 – Temptation

A pendant with an amber jewel sways. It is a valuable item with a value of at least C grade. I couldn’t know the ability because I hadn’t been properly appraised yet, but it was clear that it was an unusual item.

“hahahaha! It looks heavy!?”

Colin attacks with a tear-jerking smile.

Arsha focused on chewing on her lips. Her head cools and her reason returns.

It’s strange when you think about it. My condition, which had been fine before, suddenly became strange.

‘Just before the duel, he put his hand on my shoulder….’

At first, she thought that she was just a gruff and unlucky senior’s flirtatiousness. However, when she looked at it from a different angle, she felt like the cause of the phenomena that were happening to her.

Chang! Visor! Visor! Visor!

Every time the swords collided, the pain in her hand that held the sword intensified. Arsha poured a small amount of mana into her pendant. Then, a small tremor was felt in her pendant.

[A Knight’s Promise (Class B): A pendant containing the spirit of a knight as clear as glass and unshakable as steel. The rugged design shows the producer’s intention to include practicality rather than splendor. Slightly increases strength and mental strength when worn, and increases the amount of physical recovery in proportion to the amount of lost physical strength.

Strength +5 Spirit +5

Health recovery +1% per missing health]

In an instant, the mind becomes clear. And even stronger power goes into the hand holding the sword.

‘Bird, isn’t it a more amazing item than I thought!?’

The heavy weight on her shoulders disappeared. The additional mental power granted by the pendant overcame the status ailment.

“Whoops! How long can you last like that…”

Tattat!

Arsha burrows into Colin’s bosom like an awl.

In her sudden maneuver, the tip of her Colin’s sword lost its way. She thought she had sealed Arsha’s swordsmanship with her overwhelming combo, but Arsha destroyed Colin’s swordsmanship with her feather-light movements.

‘Overpowered!’

With a flash of light, she stretches out her foot in front of her. The majestic power of her sword brought a feeling of exhilaration she had never felt before. A long sword that passed Colin’s dazzling rapier.

Its final destination was the nape of Colin’s neck. To be exact, about 1cm in front of the nape of his neck.

“The duel is over.”

Professor James announced the end of the duel. Even without mentioning who was the winner and who was the loser, every student who saw the duel could easily guess the outcome.

“As expected, Miss Swordhorn! You won nicely!”

“Could it be that the slowdown was due to teabagging?”

“Hey! I believed in you!”

From noble mtl dot com

The first year students enthusiastically shouted Arsha’s name. A first-year ace who deftly defeats an unlucky third-year senior.

It was a very nice picture.

On the other hand, about half of the 3rd graders looked like they were chewing sh*t, and the other half laughed like they were having fun.

“Colin Sauss. You are weak.”

“Isn’t that first year strong?”

“Aside from Sarah Leoris, another top 10 candidate…. How will the student council react?”

Colin Zauss shivering in her body, unable to believe in her own defeat.

Arsha looked at Colin with her eyes of contempt, then moved on with her steps. The place she was heading was towards the audience.

“hahahaha. Well done. Ms. Arsha.”

A boy who shines in the midst of such a large crowd.

Arsha arrived in front of a boy with blond hair and ruby-red eyes that couldn’t be compared to Colin Jauss.

“Thank you.”

After giving thanks in front of a huge crowd, Arsha turned around with a face stained red like a tomato. What is so embarrassing about Arsha, who disappears from the duel square with footsteps like the wind.

Students who saw this started to mutter.

“What do you mean thank you?”

“Is that her? John Baker.”

“I think I told Miss Swordhorn that she was pretty. Could it be that the two of you are like that?”

“John Baker, didn’t you say you were a commoner?”

“I’m a commoner, but I can chew on that look! Swordhorn sheep. You were an idiot.”

“Wow! I was aiming….!”

Originally, groundless rumors start with very small misunderstandings. Sierra, who witnessed the fabrication spread in an instant, looked around with a troubled expression.

“John. People are saying strange things, shouldn’t I explain it? Ms. Swordhorn might be in trouble….”

“Ah! Miss Sierra. It’s already gone! It’s impossible to stop rumors from spreading like this. Originally, word of mouth is the scariest law~!”

Ellie chuckled at how funny it was.

The duel between Arsha Swordhorn and Colin Jauss.

It spawned rumors that were just as buzzy as the ‘entrance ceremony duel’.

—

“Eugh… ! I’m losing… ! Nonsense… !”

Colin Zauss, distorting her face like her goblin, barely made it to her dormitory. His fist knocks on the wall of the dorm room.

Boom!

“Damn it! Bracelet of slowness… ! Why didn’t you listen to me all of a sudden!?”

Bracelet of Slowness.

That was a Class D accessory owned by Colin Jauss. The effect is to slow down the target’s agility and reduce their stamina.

It has the disadvantage of requiring physical contact once to designate a target, but since the debuff effect is very effective against melee opponents, it was a spleen number that Colin believed. Colin, who actually used this accessory, had never lost a duel.

This is the end. I was defeated by something like a 1st year. No matter how famous the rookie is, the label that he has tarnished the honor of the 3rd year will follow him all the time. Maybe even after graduation.

In an aristocratic society where reputation is important, this is fatal. Moreover, the process of requesting a duel was a bit unsightly. If he had won, all those petty processes would have been covered. So he had to win.

“Ahahahaha. You look troubled.”

The soft voice is on my nerves. Colin turned her head in the direction of the voice, furious.

There, a snake-shaped male student with a bloodless face was looking at him. He is a student who makes you think that if a poisonous snake transforms into a person, he won’t be like that.

“Who is it!? Are you in the first year!?”

Did you come to mock yourself?

Colleen put her hand on her waist with her nervous expression on her face. If the opportunity arises, he is ready to exercise his skills. It is against the rules to use a weapon outside of a duel or sparring. Failure to do so may result in penalty points or expulsion. But now Colin couldn’t see anything.

“I am not here to fight. I just came to make a suggestion to you.”

The male student in the shape of a snake ran his lower lip with his tongue and continued.

“Since you were treated well, shouldn’t you take revenge?”

“Bo, Revenge… ?”

“Yes. Oh, I should introduce myself first. I am Geo Strandal. I am a first year spearmanship student.”

“Come on! Eat!”

Arsha held out a plate with a confident expression.

She held out a plate of delicious pasta on her plate. First off, looks pass.

“You improved in one day!?”

“Hmmm! Cooking is nothing compared to swordsmanship.”

“Is that so? By the way, that side dish in my hand…”

“This, this was just an injury during sparring!”

Arsha made that excuse as she hurriedly hid her hands behind her body. Swordsmanship and sparring are usually conducted with wooden swords. And, how many times can you injure your fingers during sparring?

“It’s cute.”

‘Is that so?’

“Ears, how cute! Are you talking to me!? Do not be ridiculous! Who likes soft compliments like that!”

Her thoughts and words jumped out in reverse. Anyway, Arsha reacted like a live fish to the unintentional compliment.

Arsha is weak to her praise. In particular, she is very weak in compliments other than the swordsmanship part. Even when attacking Arsha in the original game, she should make good use of this part.

“This pasta…. It is subtle.”

“Mi, Subtle?”

“It’s not tasteless, but it’s not delicious either…. It’s a very subtle feeling.”

It gives off the feeling that it was made according to the manual. Compared to the egg sandwich you made for me yesterday, it’s an angel. Is this the power of love?

“Ugh…. So you’re saying it’s subtle? I haven’t shown my real skills yet.”

Honestly, I look forward to Arsha’s hearty dishes. The fact that her skills soared in just one day means that the prospects are bright.

“Ah, by the way, I’m going to go out after class today. Do you have time?”

“Are you going out?”

“Yes. This pendant you gave me. I want to appraise it.”

Item Appraisal.

In order to confirm the value of an item, a process called appraisal is necessary. This is an unnecessary process for me, who has memorized almost all the items in the legend route, but it is an essential process for those who live in this world.

Appraisal is done through a professional appraiser. Appraisers also have their own fields and skills. Of course, only high-level appraisers can appraise high-rank items. This is also one of the reasons for increasing the price of the item. Appraisal of high-rank items costs a lot of money.

“If you really want to go for appraisal, you can go alone..”

Oh no.

The other person is such a good date chance, I don’t have to kick it.

As expected, I still have a long way to go as a harem master.

“Do you hate poetry?”

Arsha looks at me with an uneasy expression.

I was full of desire to tease you, but I shook my head and answered, because it would be a pity if I got angry.

“Okay. Ask me out on a date, I accept.”

“Dah, it’s not a date, you idiot! Even in that duel, he made strange noises! You just had to tell me to use accessories!”

Seeing Arsha shaking her head while smoking steam at the top of her head makes her heart tickle. It doesn’t seem like it will take long for her to acquire her “Speciality” Of Arsha.
