74. Surprise Visit (3)

“Let’s start right away.”

The female knight was very angry and rolled up her sleeves.

As if he was trying to compete properly, he also undid one or two buttons on his shirt.

“No matter how hard you try, the results are obvious. “How can I defeat the imperial vice-captain?”

I tried to laugh slyly at her passionate appearance.

But Camilla pointed at my face with her finger.

“It’s not about winning from me. “I just want to promote friendship as seniors and juniors.”

‘What is friendship…? .’

It looks like Tau’s pride was hurt by the fact that they fought evenly for even a moment.

Whether it was then or now, the competitive spirit is still there.

“I understand. “Let’s do this instead.”

I pretended I couldn’t win and took off my outer clothes.

Then he threw it to Tau, who was sitting in the garden, and said.

“If I last 3 minutes in sparring, we’ll end up with a draw.”

Even if he is still a kid, his opponent is definitely a sword master.

As far as basic skills are concerned, it is already the strongest in the empire.

If you want to hide your skills, it’s best to set a time limit and just avoid it.

“You can show that much mercy, right?”

Camilla snorted at my sly smile.

“Ha, good. “It’s possible to organize that.”

Passionate eyes that tell you everything about me in 3 minutes.

I looked at those eyes with wonder and rolled up my sleeves.

“Thank you for your generous generosity.”

After that, we said nothing.

We just quietly faced each other in the garden.

“….”

I was definitely hiding my mana.

However, Camilla was gradually feeling her strong bones on the battlefield.

I am not particularly scared even when I face myself.

The relaxation that comes from that appearance.

The childlike smiles of the old knight commanders who taught him.

When she felt that smile from her successor, who was the same age as her, she frowned.

The vice-captain started rushing in to cut me off.

It was so fast that the soil in the garden exploded.

And her fist bursts through the dirt.

―――!!

Anyone who encounters that powerful fist is bound to close her eyes.

But, like her, I am also a person with thick bones in her battlefield.

I read the movements with my eyes straight open.

And then, he avoided her by bending his head.

However, you should not counterattack immediately after dodging.

She must have already prepared her counterattack.

“It wasn’t a parachute after all!”

When her fist missed, as expected, Camilla spun her body straight around.

Then, she aimed for my chin with her elbow.

A practical technique that can cause you to faint immediately if hit incorrectly.

Anticipating this, I caught the rushing elbow.

“… !!”

And then, he picked up her light body and threw it away.

Camilla floated into the air.

She twisted her body fluidly and landed on her floor.

“As expected, you are the vice-captain. “Maybe because you trained to the limit, your body is as light as dew.”

I nodded and raised her fist.

“Ji, how dare you insult your superior now…? ?”

“That can’t be right. “This is Changchan.”

Camilla pursed her lips.

And then, she began to huff and puff with an indignant expression.

‘I’m serious.’

When you become a Sword Master, all evil energy and waste products in your body are removed.

Thanks to this, my body becomes as light as dew.

This means that Camilla has trained herself well.

However, when the young female knight heard the praise, she became angry again.

Then she rushed at me, spewing out red mana.

“I will educate you on the crime of insulting your superior!”

A swordsman leaping into the air.

She drove her heel down toward the top of my head.

A speed so dizzying that it cuts through the air.

I also concentrated my blue mana on her legs to counter her attacks.

And, I managed to avoid her attack.

Kwaaang!!

A strong hole was created in the garden as if a meteorite had fallen.

In the past, I would have been furious, but it didn’t matter now that I had a territory west of the capital.

He skillfully accepted all the tricks of the young swordsman who rushed at him like fire.

“As expected, you are amazing, you have incredible momentum!!”

“Shut up!”

A female knight who gets annoyed even though she clearly only praises him.

She thrust her fist at me without hesitation with a shameful expression.

“I will definitely reveal your identity!”

Started to actively use mana.

Seeing that, I also engaged in sparring with a serious expression.

Camilla’s specialty is mana shockwave.

When she swings her fist or weapon, she uses a technique that fires her mana like a cannonball.

Therefore, she must concentrate mana in her body according to her trajectory in advance.

“Try to stop this too!”

Camilla throws her fist, engulfed in a red shock wave.

Before her fist even touched me, intense red mana surged out and flew right in front of my nose.

However, I also predicted the trajectory in advance.

She put both her hands together and caught the red mana that surged.

And then, he made it go to her side and miss.

―――!!

The stray red mana flew into the forest and exploded.

The destructive power was so great that clouds of dust rose up.

“Isn’t this too much for sparring…? ?”

When I asked Camilla she snorted.

Then, red mana flashed like lightning from the corner of her eyes and spoke.

“You all expected this attack anyway, right?”

Camilla has already figured out that I am her equal.

When you realize that your opponent is not formidable, you naturally become scared or nervous.

Rather, he seems happy to have met his match.

“So, if you want to end it quickly, you had better be sincere.”

The female knight’s scarlet eyes burn like flames.

She raised the blade of her hand with that deadly spirit in it.

And, as a sword master, I ended up using a technique that I only use when fighting sincerely.

And that too for a defense engineer.

Wave the blade of your hand from bottom to top.

Then, it turned into a huge sword and rushed at me.

Shock waves flying with a loud roar.

I twisted my body as best as I could to avoid it, but it was so fierce that it cut my hair.

―――.

The shock wave that was barely avoided soared toward the sky.

And, even the thick clouds were separated.

“Guh, the clouds…” !!”

Tau, who was watching the sparring on the floor, looked up blankly at the cracked cloud.

“I can’t believe I sparred with a woman like that…” .”

After confirming the Sword Master’s true skills, he swallowed deeply.

However, he witnessed something even more surprising than Camilla’s skills.

“Vice-captain Camilla. “You crossed the line this time.”

Because I, who had been so relaxed until now, made a cruel expression for the first time.

“I can’t believe you used that kind of technique in Dalian. “You have no sense of responsibility for your power.”

Camilla took a deep breath.

Then, she pursed her lips and confidently shouted to me.

“You first played a trick on your superiors by hiding your skills!”

I looked straight down at the excited female knight.

And he responded with stern eyes.

“Even so, what would you do if you were hit by a passing citizen?”

I pointed to her attack, which flew over the garden and into the sky with her finger.

“This is downtown Northon, not a battlefield.”

Camilla cleared her throat.

Then, biting her lip, she muttered.

“Then don’t hide your skills any longer. It means fighting proudly… !”

I briefly turned my head and looked at Tau’s location.

Fortunately, they were able to evacuate beyond the fence.

“Good. I will deal with you properly. Instead….”

Then I spoke to the young swordsman with a cold expression.

“If you want to live, you will have to keep everything you saw today a secret.”

Camilla swallowed deeply.

And, looking at me, the atmosphere had changed, and she nodded.

“Yes, I promise on the honor of my family.”

The vice-captain took a fighting stance again.

Afterwards, I waited reverently, arranging my red mana, to see my sincerity.

However, she soon lost her calm.

“… !!”

A defense engineer in front of you.

From there, a golden aura that was several dimensions ahead of him emanated.

The former imperial knight commander who taught him.

The aura of a mature sword master that could only be felt from him.

“Yes… There’s no way the No. 1 Appointee was hiding in Subangsa Temple for no reason!”

When she saw that auror, the corners of her mouth twitched.

Because finally, a person worthy of her appeared before her eyes.

Camilla, entranced by her golden color, stared blankly at her fist rising towards her.

Then she soon came to her senses and raised both her arms to guard.

“Wow… !”

An intense shock that makes your whole body tingle.

However, Camilla raised the corners of her mouth as if she was happy.

“Let’s see how long you can laugh.”

I spoke to her firmly.

And she filled her arms with golden mana and threw them out with all her might.

A fist rushing in with a brilliant afterimage.

Camilla avoided it several times with her superhuman-like reflexes.

But eventually she began to allow effective strikes.

If you hit her left cheek, you hit her right chin.

Blocking her right jaw hit her solar plexus.

“Ha….”

Camilla stumbles and retreats.

She endured the shock by closing her eyes tightly.

I boldly charged at the young swordsman.

And then, I raised my golden fist to prevent anyone from revealing anything about me.

Camilla pursed her lips and took my fist.

He held on to the point where the nerve between his eyebrows protruded, and he barely received my mana.

From Noble mtl dot com

―――.

I easily dodged the reflected red mana by bending my neck.

But, instead of avoiding it….

Quarrr!!

A bloody sound of something collapsing began to be heard from behind.

I quickly turned my head.

“No way…” !”

And then I saw the office where the exterior wall had completely collapsed and the inside was completely exposed.

One corner of the office was completely blown away.

When I saw that, I cried out loud.

Because there….

“My safe… !!”

Because it contained the territory permit received from Leah and 10,000 gold.

“Huh?”

Camilla was angry at me for being relaxed about any attacks until now.

She looked blankly at me as I hurriedly headed to the office.

“Damn it!”

I went up to the second floor and frantically dug for the location of the safe.

But, there was only a pile of ashes left there….

Gold and estate deeds have completely disappeared.

“What, what…?” ? “Did you even have a lump sum of money?”

Camilla hurriedly came to my side.

“My retirement funds….”

When the young swordsman saw my empty face, he realized the seriousness of the situation.

Then he erased the madness from his eyes and looked down at me carefully.

“Oh, tell me how much it is. “I will compensate you.”

When I didn’t answer anything, Camilla cleared her voice like a girl.

And, she took pains to speak with the dignity of a superior.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, yes. “How much money is there in the safe of a mere defense engineer?”

I looked at her with her murky black eyes.

Then, Camilla, embarrassed, nodded her head with a hesitant expression.

“Don’t worry, just be honest.”

I raised the corner of my mouth at her threat.

And, he spoke confidently.

“This is 10,000 gold and a territory permit given by His Majesty the Emperor.”

Camilla was listening to me calmly.

The scarlet eyes flashed like a cat, not a beast.

“Uh… ?”

10,000 Gold.

No matter how much you are the imperial vice-captain, this is two years worth of salary.

Territory permit.

As I said, only ‘His Majesty the Emperor’ can issue it.

And, he is in a coma right now.

If you die….

You will never be able to get a reissue.

Camilla, who knew this, looked dumbfounded.

“Thank you so much for saying that you will pay me back.”

I approached the young swordsman closely.

Then he looked down at her cold eyes and said.

“You are the second-in-command of the highest order of knights in the empire, so you will never change your mind, right?”

She looked up at me blankly with trembling eyes.

“Uh… ?”

Camilla felt no fear from any enemy she had ever faced.

When she faced those dark eyes full of venom, she felt an instinctive fear.

“I also accept checks, so I would appreciate it if you could pay me back right away.”

I immediately took out my checkbook.

Then he smiled brightly and handed it to the young female knight.
