Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

4 – 4. First sparring (2)

Blue flames wrapped around the two knights.

The princesses looked at the flame closely.

The amount of mana is clearly different just by looking at it.

Soon they shook their heads as if they had no choice.

“Is it still here? “It’s a pity, that commoner knight-.”

Lydia said, crushing the bag of candy.

As if agreeing with those words, Leah also puts down her quill.

“No matter how good your swordsmanship is, it’s difficult if you don’t have enough mana.”

Leah draped both arms on the table.

Then, I placed my face on my palm and watched the two knights.

but… .

Second, Princess Irina was different.

“Fighting isn’t just about mana.”

She said calmly, looking at the light blue mana of the veil.

“Because he’s different.”

Lydia, who was annoyed by Irina’s words, smiled.

And he was alone with his arms crossed and laughing at her.

“Why do you feel a sense of kinship just because you share commoner blood?”

“If you don’t believe me, make a bet.”

Lydia took a bite of the candy she was holding.

“My baby-? “It’s obvious, Richard.”

The second princess smiled at Lydia’s calm appearance.

“Then you bet on Richard.”

And he spoke kindly with his eyes half closed.

“I’ll bet on Veil.”

Lydia, who was uncomfortable with that smile, spit out the chewed candy.

Then he asked, rubbing his lips with the tissue the escort driver gave him.

“Okay, I’ll bet you 500 gold.”

The price of one carriage.

Lydia shook her head in approval.

Then he turns his head and asks 1st Princess Leah.

“Aren’t you going to walk there?”

At that question, Leah smiled leisurely.

She had already put down her quill a long time ago.

“Yeah, I don’t make deals that I’m not sure about.”

Lydia tilted her head at her words.

“So, that kid you’ve never even heard of could win?”

Leah shrugged her shoulders as if she was enjoying the sparring.

And then he held the paper on the table in his fingers.

“I don’t know.”

Irina glances away and looks at Leah’s documents.

On that piece of paper was written a list of candidate articles.

and… Leah has not yet written anyone’s name in the first nomination box.

“——.”

I stared at Richard.

He took a deep breath and pointed his sword at me.

And the moment I bent my knees.

It leapt at me with such force that it broke the marble floor.

Kaaang￣￣￣!!

Thanks to my immediate response, I was able to accept it.

However, one ignorant series of slashes after another.

As I tried to catch them one by one, my wrist started to hurt as if I was hitting a piece of metal.

‘Ignorant guy… , wasn’t strength a trade at this time too?’

I can feel the fishy taste of blood in my throat.

Is it because of that fishy taste?

At this point, I thought about abstaining.

This level of performance is enough to allow him to remain in the capital.

but… .

The guy threw a sharp attack without hesitation in order to defeat his opponent.

If other classmates were to use this technique from him, they would be crippled and end up rolling around in the gutter.

so.

I’m going to correct his habits today.

The moment I made my decision, Richard rushed towards me, cutting through the air.

When he raised his sword into the air.

The sunlight was blocked, casting thick darkness over me.

The faces of everyone watching that huge shadow become serious.

Because I believed that the moment I allowed that blow, I would die.

However, the darker the darkness, the more my eyes sparkled.

The timing for me to completely subdue him… .

Because right now.

All the nerves between my eyebrows protrude.

I focused all my concentration on the sword to the point that my pupils got smaller.

That moment.

My weak blue mana turned golden.

A technique that amplifies power by mixing mana with vitality.

‘Sword Auror.’

The great sword was raised with a golden air current.

And then I boldly collided with the sword of the guy who was striking me.

「￣￣￣!!」

‘It rotates like this!’

The loud sound of a blade sliding.

Richard’s sword twists along with the sound.

“Huh… !”

Soon he lost his balance and stumbled.

And I spun around and slashed the guy’s side.

Red blood splatters on Richard’s white uniform.

“What kind of technology is this… .”

The guy fell to his knees, clutching his side.

And then he looks down at the fresh blood on his hands.

“The blood… .”

Richard’s pupils fluttered as if he were seeing blood for the first time.

It has to be that way.

In sparring, an injury serious enough to cut one’s body means defeat.

It’s a perfect loss.

“my… “I lost?”

The Stonefield family produced sword masters in every generation.

Historically, there has not been a single named sparring loser from that family.

That’s why he chose Cain so that he would never lose.

That plan was foiled.

‘You probably didn’t get caught, right?’

I sheathed my sword as I watched him tremble.

I wanted to somehow prevent the color of mana from changing.

However, because it was still unstable, the mana very subtly turned golden for a moment.

In fact, it is difficult for even veteran knights to attain this level.

If the royal family had recognized him, they would have sent love calls like crazy to recruit him.

As I do not want to be the princess’s guard, the worst situation will unfold.

I turned my head with a worried heart.

However, at that moment.

The cheers of my classmates were so loud that I even forgot about my worries.

「Waaah–!!」

Is this because it is the first time that a commoner knight has defeated a noble knight in Dalian?

All my classmates kept shouting my name.

“veil-! veil-!”

The sound was so loud that the floor of the villa shook.

However, no imperial guard was able to keep the cadets quiet.

They are just amazed and impressed by the technology I showed them.

Especially the princesses.

They all looked dumbfounded, as if they were surprised by the results.

Oh, except for one person.

“this… “What happened?”

Lydia’s arm, which was resting her chin, trembled.

The corners of my eyes fluttered as if I was startled by a sight I had never seen before.

Leah’s arm suddenly goes up to her shoulder.

“I told you. “It was unclear.”

Lydia was so excited that the earrings she was wearing were shaking.

I was angry that only I knew information that I didn’t know about.

“Are you planning this all together? “You used a technique comparable to that of a sword master!”

In particular, I couldn’t accept that even Irina knew.

However, the second princess did not pay attention to her younger brother’s struggles.

He just looks down at her arrogantly and says.

“I told you, he’s different.”

“How do you know that?”

Soon Irina turned her head towards me.

I felt her gaze and immediately made eye contact.

“I’ve been watching that article for quite some time.”

Everyone is smiling at me, but she is still expressionless.

I felt burdened by that gaze and cleared my throat lightly.

And when I looked at her again… .

“veil-!!”

Irina’s suddenly changed urgent expression.

A sad voice that called me in my dreams.

My eyes sparkled at the change in her previously cold personality.

Feeling the coolness on the back of my neck, I quickly turn my head.

It’s Richard.

He was rushing at me without hesitation,

The closer you get, the more intense the heat becomes, making it difficult to breathe.

Before he knew it, his mana, which had been blue, changed to scarlet.

“It’s not over yet… .”

Mana overflow.

A phenomenon that occurs when a large amount of mana released cannot be controlled.

Emotions become intense, and in severe cases, life force is consumed instead of mana.

The guy’s black head has completely turned.

Criticism from father and family members pours in.

And the eternal stigma of being a loser.

Unable to accept the result, he swung his sword with a bloody face.

Seeing this, Balderian, who had been silent until now, stood up and his classmates also screamed.

Raise your sword.

Fortunately, thanks to Irina’s information, I was able to secure time to raise my sword.

From noble mtl dot com

Kigi geek￣￣￣!!

A creepy friction sound occurs from the clashing swords.

Richard pushed his sword harder than ever.

“I should never lose. And that too for commoners… !”

A voice steeped in madness, as if it had lost its reason.

Thanks to this, countless gaps were created.

“That damn commoner. “I’m sick of it now.”

I let go of one hand as if to show off.

Then the swords were quickly tilted towards the neck.

However, this is by design.

I grabbed the blade of the guy with my free hand.

He twisted his body and snatched the sword.

Wrestling.

Melee techniques used by knights in actual battlefields.

When nobles overwhelm their opponents with the mana they have developed to the fullest.

We compete based on the experience we have gained in the harsh field.

“!!!”

He dropped the great sword he had taken from him to the floor.

Everyone in the palace looked mesmerized by the loud noise.

Because that ‘Richard’ was easily subdued.

“aaah!!”

He falls to the floor and screams like a monster.

“You look funny, noble master.”

I silently rolled up my sleeves.

And then I calmly approached him.

If you keep burning your mana like this, you will eventually lose your vitality.

Poop—!!

I punched his loud face with my fist.

Just like the commoner knights he’s been tormenting like punching bags.

“Are you also ignoring me on the topic of commoners…? !”

Okay, keep talking.

Keep beating him until he comes to his senses.

Before he knew it, his beautifully straight hair had become completely tangled.

While grabbing the hair, I continued to pound my fist with my other hand.

“It’s a bit harsh… ? “Shouldn’t someone stop him?”

People around me are starting to hear my classmates wondering if it’s a bit harsh.

But, I didn’t pay any attention to what they said.

Because they haven’t made any apology to the commoners they’ve attacked.

I looked at the noblemen with Richard’s blood on my face.

No longer could they ignore me.

They just avoid my gaze as if they are afraid.

“Okay…”

Richard’s moans are heard from the floor.

I tried to impress upon him the fear of death, but soon stopped.

“Bale, that’s enough.”

Because Balderian walked from afar.

Only after hearing his voice was I able to look around.

Richard’s mana, which was running rampant, has long since died down.

Only then did I let go of his hair.

“I’m sorry, General. “You dared to cause trouble in the sacred sparring.”

I calmly bowed my head and apologized to him.

After all, I have no regrets about sparring like this, and I have no pride to build up.

His footsteps are getting closer.

Soon, his military boots draped under my bowed head.

“I will accept any punishment.”

Since he doesn’t have a strong supporter or a proper family, he will definitely be severely punished.

If you’re not careful, you might be kicked out to the outskirts.

However, compared to the imperial faction fights we have experienced so far… .

Life in the periphery may fly.

“punishment? “What does that mean?”

While I was humbly waiting, I heard something unexpected.

I slowly raised my head at the sound of his bright voice.

“How can calming down a colleague whose mana is running wild be grounds for punishment?”

Balderian’s eyes were as solemn as usual.

However, for some reason, the corners of his mouth seemed to rise subtly.
