"Master Elias, would you like to fight me next?"
Karl wants to fight me? That's surprising.
Unlike Wolff, Karl is a calm man.
ЭWhat do you mean, Karl? You're not an emotional man. You're not so frustrated by Wolff's defeat that you want to beat him in revenge, are you?Э
'Well, no way. I'm not capable of keeping quiet when my comrades have been beaten up. Besides, I am also a deputy knight commander. Master Elias, you seem to be a little quicker, but not as quick as this Karl. It seems that you were a good match for Wolff, who sells strength, but let me show you that there is always someone higher up, so that you don't make the mistake of thinking you are too quick."
"All right, Karl. Let's have a good match"
Not only Wolff, but you too, Karl. If Elias says it's fine, I have no right to stop you. But be careful, Karl. Master Elias is a strong man."
"Don't worry, Barnabas. I will win".
We have returned from the infirmary to the arena.
" What about weapons?"
"I'm going to use the same one as Karl."
Carl, what about your weapon?"
{I'll use a spear. Master Elias, you don't mean to say that this is your first time with a spear as well as with an axe?'"
"It is my first time."
'This Karl is a sucker for a good fight.'
The calm Karl's expression and tone of voice contain anger.
"The rules are the same as before. No magic or items. Both parties, are we understood?'
'Alright.'
"Yes, sir."
"Begin!"
'Go ahead and strike, Elias-sama. There is no one in the whole kingdom who can strike the knight's speedy Karl. You'll avoid all of them."
{Alright, Karl."
Karl is confident in his speed, or perhaps he is underestimating me, but he is relaxed.
I throw my fastest attack.
'System message": you have dealt 600 damage to Karl. Your attack power has increased by 300. Speed Thrust level increased by 10. Your spear proficiency has increased by 30.'"
I thought he was so confident that he would really avoid it, but my attack did strike.
"Ugh...... that's ridiculous......."
'Karl, you let your guard down. Because it was his first attack and because you were so careless, and he went easy on you. If that had been on a real fight, you would have lost your life."
"Ugh...... still ...... Can i avoid an attack from him this time?'
Karl comes up with a high speed attacks.
I evade them all.
'System message: "agility increased by 100. Side Avoidance level increased by 10. Your back-avoidance has increased by 5 ."
Fast. But if I calm down, I can avoid it without difficulty.
My status has also increased a lot.
"Ridiculous ...... my attacks don't cause a single damage ...... this has never happened ...... before."
Then I kept avoiding Karl's attacks.
My agility increased to 1000.
My Side Avoidance level increased to 80 and my Back Avoidance increased to 70.
'Hahahaha ...... why the attacks don't get through...... this isn't supposed to happen......."
'Karl, drop your assumptions. You didn't see the fight between me and Wolff. Don't be fooled by appearances."
"It can't be ...... it can't be ...... that way."
Karl is muttering to himself, as if he can't hear me.
'Karl, now it's my turn!"
I decide on my fastest poke-to-slash combo.
'System message" you have dealt 1000 damage to Karl. Attack power has been increased by 500. Your Dexterity has been increased by 200. Speed Thrust increased by 10 . Single Thrust increased 10 . Spear mastery increased by 19.
"Damn... haha!'
Karl fell to the ground.
"Victory!"
"I ...... lost ......?"
Karl awoke.
This is the infirmary.
"Karl, can you believe it? You lost to the young Master Elias."
'Yes. And I have a feeling I can't accept. I have come this far with the conviction that if I put in the hard work everyday, no one can beat me. I can't see that crumbling away. ......"
'Karl, I honestly respect your diligence. But it's also true that you can't say anything about your past hard work in front of the demon race. If you are weak, you will only lose. They won't wait for us if we say 'please wait for us because we've been working hard'."
"Master Elias, what should the weaker ones do t ......?"
"That's ......."
"Master Wolff, Master Karl, are you all right?"
I was about to open my mouth when the new recruits rushed into the infirmary.
"What the fuck are you guys ...... doing?"
"You ......."
'Ho-ho-ho, this is the infirmary. Quiet down, please."
"I'm sorry, Barnabas. But we're concerned about Wolf and Karl. ......"
"Mind your own business, you two. This Wolff is only as strong as he is strong."
"I'll be fine. Thank you, boys".
"Karl, you asked me a question earlier."
"Yes."
'You've got a good man here who looks up to your work. Together, you'll figure it out. You have Wolff and Barnabas. You can rely on them. It's good for you."
"It's the most difficult thing for me, because I'm so proud. But I have companions. Perhaps I have been working too much on my own."
"Elias is right. I always wished I could rely on you more. "
"Karl, you're too fucking serious. Relax. Ha-ha-ha!"
Wolff is bashing Karl's shoulder.
It might be the first time I've ever seen Karl smile.
'Well, then, Master Elias, shall we go home?"
'Yes, let's leave this place with these hot savages as soon as possible."
Sofia and Christophe seem to want to leave this place as soon as possible.
They've been by my side the whole time.
'Who are these savages? You sly blonde and your brainy maid!"
'That's right, Sophia, Christoph. Wolff aside, I am a gentlemen."
Karl:! Fuck you!'
They say the more you fight, the better you get along, and I'd be happy if this time everyone got along better.
I was about to leave, but someone stopped me.
'Hohoho, shall you fight me next? Elias-sama."
I never thought that Barnabas would challenge me to a fight.
"Master Elias, would you like to fight me next?"
Karl wants to fight me? That's surprising.
