Succeeding as a Knight in a Gender-Reversal Game

Chapter 16

16 – Practical Test (3)

-Kagagagagagak!!

Even though the wood is a bit hard, Eleanor and my wooden sword are intertwined as if they were hard steel clashing.

Seeing how he tried to push my sword away without any special skills or anything, I guess he thought I would be weak because I was a man.

What is the height difference between me and Eleanor? No matter how much difference there is between men and women in this world, it is still too much.

But it is also understandable. If her status window could be displayed, her strength level would probably be over 40.

I’ve never experienced being pushed around by men or even quite a few women.

As proof, the weight of the wooden sword being pushed up from below me is not light at all.

But

-Giggles… !

“……!”

“If you didn’t know, you would have to pay, right?”

Not long ago, my strength level reached 50.

This level of strength is similar to Eleanor’s when she completed the academy.

If it were a competition of strength, I would have an advantage, and there is no way I would be at a disadvantage.

Let my heavy sword crush Eleanor.

-Percussion!!

She quickly retrieved her wooden sword and tried to protect herself with her shield.

-Tooooong!!!

Eleanor, who defended herself from my subsequent thrusts, was pushed back three steps further than where she originally retreated.

I did not miss this opportunity to further mess up the center of her slightly disheveled body.

-Kwaaang!!

“Haaab-!!”

“!!”

Quickly, he pushes her left shoulder hard towards her shield.

Perhaps she didn’t expect that I would come in with an advantageous reach, but while I lowered my posture, her defenseless torso left her defenseless, exposing her weakness.

-Phew!!

“…!!!”

“Normally this would make me faint…” !”

My wooden sword successfully stuck into her abdomen.

This is an attack that would have made anyone who dealt with me for the first time cry out in pain and gasp.

But she

“…Continue.”

“I’m going crazy, really… ha ha ha… “

It doesn’t even show that it hurts, just a slight frown.

It’s just holding on like Mount Tai.

“Even if you are insensitive, you have to be insensitive in moderation…” Ha… “

This is probably the effect of ‘insensitivity’ among Eleanor’s talents.

Although it is a negative talent, it also has advantages in battle, like a double-edged sword.

My guess is that even if you take damage during battle, your combat performance does not decrease, or something like that.

When people suffer physical damage, they feel pain and their exercise performance declines. And this also applied to most of the characters in the Carnian Chronicles.

However, in the case of Eleanor, she was able to continue to fight at her best ability regardless of such things, and this became a huge hit in PVP content.

Even in the PVP strategy I posted, Eleanor was emphasized as a human rights character who must be included in the party. She even said that if she doesn’t have it, it’s better to just assume that this content doesn’t exist.

If you twist it… You know?

I, who said this, ended up twisting and hanging the ceiling.

And now that I am faced with that awkward situation again, I calmly look at Eleanor’s posture once again.

Her glacier-like eyes are still firmly and unwaveringly capturing my movements.

No, rather, the guard against me has become even stronger.

Unlike before, when he tried to cut me despite using a shield, now he has his shield and sword firmly attached to his body and is taking full advantage of the weapons.

Luckily, I was caught off guard and tried to take advantage of the opportunity to finish quickly… Whoa…

-Kagagak!! Kagak!!

We split our sword strikes once again, but like before, there is no opportunity to create an opening.

A perfect combination of light stabbing and defense using a shield.

Every time I see an incoming shield attempt to hit me, I feel like I am dealing with a dual-wielding weapon.

It feels like dealing with a sharp snake and a thick bull at the same time.

-Quaaang! Kaaang!!

Diagonally cutting or stabbing aimed at one point has no effect on Eleanor’s strong defense.

Should I say it feels like cutting down a thick tree with a wooden sword?

Like a tree with deep roots, Eleanor blocks my sword with her shield without taking a single step back.

-Shoooook!!

“Inhale!!”

With stabs interspersed.

If I had been able to use mana, I would have been able to attack in more diverse ways, but then Eleanor would have defended herself in more diverse ways. These are skills trained at a workhouse and honed on the battlefield.

I don’t think it will be a battle that will end easily, pushing myself with strictly practical, disciplined and stable movements.

Something to do…

“…It’s no use. I admit that their side clearly has the upper hand in terms of power. But as time passes, my side will benefit.”

-Shoooook!!

What she said calmly as she stabbed the wooden sword towards my thigh was right.

As time goes by, no matter how much strength and stamina I have, the greater the movement, the greater the chance of getting tired first.

Oh… How can there be no way?

I want to tap my head and squeeze out my thoughts…

… For a moment.

Knock…?

“…Knock.”

“…Huh?”

-Kwaaang!!!

I stabbed the tip of her sword into one point of Eleanor’s sturdy shield with all my might.

“…There is no use in trying harder. Just defend with a shield… “

“Then!”

Once again.

-Kwaaa!!

“Huh?! “What!”

Her moments, her Bible verses that pop into my head, and her ways of dealing with her

“It will open!!”

It was a really stupid thing that could only be done now.

* * *

“Knock! Then it will open!!”

‘What kind of nonsense are you talking about?’ .Keuheuk!’

Eleanor, who was using her shield to block John’s heavy sword strikes, was dumbfounded by his absurd words, but she could never relax her nerves.

Strong strength that makes it hard to believe that he is a man. And even physical strength.

The wooden sword, which has the destructive power of famous senior knights, continues to hit her wooden shield like a sledgehammer.

‘Up until now, I was trying to cut him somehow, but now he’s trying to stab me…’ !’

Unlike a sword that uses a shield, you are willing to give up the advantage of a sword that allows you to attack more freely. I don’t quite understand, but…

It doesn’t matter.

An opponent without a shield anyway. The advantage is yours.

All you have to do is look for an opportunity to hit back at the opponent who is excited and yells strange things and throws his sword at you.

The single shot of the wooden sword, which is unmanly and like a bull, is a bit heavy, but as long as you can keep blocking it with the shield, the limit will come one day.

‘As expected, men are stupid.’

No matter how strong you are, or even if your physical condition is better than yours, a man cannot do this.

So, my stupid father must have abandoned his talent and left for a few pennies.

-Quaaang!!

Eleanor observes the behavior of the foolish man who keeps stabbing the same spot.

‘…What kind of eyes… ‘

She faced the gaze of a red burning flame as if it would devour everything.

‘That could never come from a crazy person.’

Unlike simple mindless attacks, his eyes are red and hot.

To the extent that it can be felt even in this colorless and lukewarm world.

All men must be stupid.

He must be as stupid as the man who abandoned him.

Those eyes that rush to bite you can never come from a stupid person… !

“Haaa-!!”

“Knock!!”

-Quaaang!! Kwahiah Ahhhhh

As Yohan’s wooden sword gains more and more weight, the roar it makes becomes louder.

The sound of the shield clashing against him, and Eleanor’s voice crying that she would not be defeated.

“I will never fall!!”

In front of the father who abandoned you, until you say you were wrong.

Eleanor’s wooden sword, which she had sworn to, is aimed at John’s thigh.

-Peek!!

Eleanor’s wooden sword moves out of the way after inflicting a certain amount of damage, although it did not go in properly.

‘That’s it…’ !’

After quickly stabbing and retrieving the wooden sword with her own body, Eleanor was contemplating the next attack while rejoicing at his effective strike.

-Kikigi Geek…

‘Uh… Wait, the sound coming from the shield… ?’

It was only then that I noticed that the sound her shield was making was not normal.

‘Wait a minute, this shield is definitely made of wood…’ !’

Normally, she would be able to block the opponent’s iron sword that does not contain mana with the shield she used, but what she is holding now is a simple wooden shield.

From noble mtl dot com

And that shield continued to receive attacks from an incredibly strong opponent, concentrated in the same area.

“Now, wait!!”

“Knock!!”

She realized that it was not her partner who was excited, but herself.

She tried to hastily adjust her shield, but she paid no heed to her situation and the tip of John’s sword flew in the same direction.

It was her knightly virtue that her body was faster than words or even her thoughts, so Eleanor tried to block his thrusts by raising her shield with her accustomed movements.

-Kwazijik!!

“Ugh?!!”

“Then it will open ah!!”

Her left arm felt lighter and she looked blankly at the shattering wooden shield.

In her actual battle, she took thorough care to prevent her shield from being broken, and since she had also learned how to defend using mana, she did not care about the destruction of her weapon…

‘Such an idiot… !’

Even though she blames herself for being stupid,

Regret is late, but the price is quick.

-Kagagagagagak!!!

“Ugh-!”

“Haaa!!”

She hastily defends herself with her own sword, but her body, accustomed to her shield, reacts a beat late to John’s sword.

So the sword becomes entangled like a snake once again, and Eleanor loses control of her sword due to the struggle of her strength.

-Taaagh!!!

“Kuhhh?!!”

I could only watch as her wooden sword left her own hand and flew through the air.

-Suuugh…
