Templar's training ground.
The knights, who had been training for a while, set an example in the appearance of the lord and party who arrived with Jonathan in the lead.
chuck.
"I greet my, Lord."
"I greet my, Lord."
Dmitry family.
In terms of the entire Cairo kingdom, it is only a small estate on the outskirts, but the status of the Dmitry family within the territory is great.
In particular, the treatment received by the Knights of Dmitry is the highest in the area.
Romero's respect for Baron was evident just by looking at the knights who formed the ranks in perfect harmony.
Commander of the Knights Jonathan.
he came forward and said
"From now on, we are going to conduct a swordsmanship battle with Master Roman. I hope you will come forward and help Master Roman "
" __ "
There was no hope.
Jonathan's words were so sudden, the knights glanced at each other with puzzled expressions.
It was natural.
Opponent is Roman Dmitry.
Even if you win Master Roman may will become angry from it , and if you lose, you have to worry about being expelled from the Knights Templar.
Apart from there respect for Baron Romero, they didn't want to be a puppet at his son's banter.
"If there is no hope, I will choose the opponent."
Jonathan's eyes scanned the knights.
The Dmitry Knights consist of 15 people, excluding the leader.
Actually, it's a Knights Templar, but only two people, including Jonathan, actually received the knighthood.
The remaining 14 figures were, on paper, commoners. Of course, they hoped for a knighthood, but their skills were still lacking in many areas.
The problem was now.
If it was Roman, it would be okay to call anyone, but Roman, who had changed, could not understand the limit.
'I can't see the Knights of Dmitry being attacked by the master. Therefore, the master's opponent must be a strong person who can completely subdue the master. Only then will we be able to confirm the true skill of Master Roman, who said that he saved the prestige of the Knights and defeated the Blood Fang.'
In fact, I wanted to go out and see it in person.
However, the knight commander was not in a position to draw a sword recklessly, and he had no choice but to swallow his regret.
made a decision
From the moment when Baron Romero's proposal was accepted, Roman's opponent was decided.
"Chris, forward."
" Yes?"
A man standing in the group replied
The blond handsome man distorted his expression at Jonathan's call.
Chris.
He doubted his ears.
It's not like any other general knight, but calling him the deputy commander of the Dmitry Knights.
"I don't think it's something I'm going to do."
Protesting word came out form his mouth.
Normally, he would have obeyed unconditionally, but this time, he could not accept the order.
The reason was simple.
The opponent is Roman.
Even Chris, who truly loved Dmitry's people, was terrified of Roman, Dmitry's nerd.
'Even if it wasn't just the lord's child.'
Before.
Chris had one incident involving Roman.
A violent incident broke out in the nightlife, and the protagonist of the incident was Roman Dmitry.
Roman was making a fuss with his drunken appearance, and Dmitry's eldest name meant that no one could touch him.
When people are rolling their feet. Chris, who was on patrol with the guards, found the scene. He needed to solve the problem of the territory, and while he was courting Roman with a respectful attitude, he suddenly got a hot shock from his cheek.
match!
hit in the cheek
Seeing Roman screaming at a whale whale asking where he should touch his body, he genuinely had the urge to kill.
but endured.
Roman Dmitry.
He's a motherfucker, but a man with the last name of Dmitry.
Chris showed the utmost patience and passed the case safely, but from then on, he hated Roman Dmitry enough to get goosebumps.
And even Captain Jonathan didn't know about it.
Naturally, he thought he would be excluded from the competition, but inevitably, when Captain Jonathan chose him, a voice of protest came out.
Jonathan said
"Master Roman is strong enough to defeat Blood Fang alone. In order to compete on an equal footing, a competent person must come forward, and the person who can represent the Knights of Dmitry is Chris you."
"This Blood Fang incident ."
Chris.
Jonathan's expression hardened.
Complaints mean that they will not be accepted.
Chris bowed his head.
'Damn it.'
Okay.
this case.
Roman's deeds are famous among knights.
There was debate as to whether Roman really possessed such great force as to have dealt with Blood Fang, but Chris adamantly said no.
Haven't you experienced it yourself?
Just two years ago, I was slapped in the face by Roman, and that was the strength of an ordinary person who had never trained with a sword.
win or lose?
I wasn't worried about that.
However, I wanted to do it properly if it was a double battle.
"There are conditions."
"Tell me."
"I was taught to play Dalian like the real thing. No matter who the opponent is, he has no intention of putting ejaculation in his hand in a sword-to-sword situation. If you allow this, I will accept the honor of dealing with Master Roman Dmitry."
glance.
The gaze towards Baron Romero.
As he nodded, Jonathan confirmed Roman's will.
By the way.
eating.
'Smile?'
Roman laughed.
tacit consent.
It was a reaction that properly touched Chris' heart.
Chris has a concept.
Roman is Dmitry's successor.
In front of the lord he served, he had no intention of destroying him horribly.
But.
In a single laugh, reason flew away.
'This bastard.'
blonde handsome man.
Contrary to his appearance that he could not even wield a sword properly, he was called Dmitry's fighting dog.
A man who sees the end once he sticks.
People were worried about Roman's well-being against a too powerful opponent.
above the training platform
Two men with wooden swords faced each other.
yet.
tuk.
start!
signal went down.
Chris, who had been waiting for the signal with his legs twitching, immediately slammed into the ground at Jonathan's signal.
tap.
'I'll show you the difference in level.'
It was great speed.
Chris closed the distance with Roman in an instant, and in the blink of an eye of the onlookers, he swung his sword towards Roman's forearm.
Fortunately, it was an attack that diddge a vital point.
Thinking that Roman would not be able to prevent such a sudden and quick attack, he chose a part that would not be a problem even if he was injured by rational judgment.
By the way.
widely!
' widely?!'
Repulsive force transmitted from the hand.
The eyes of Roman and Chris intertwined in the air.
At the sight of Roman, who does not waver even in the face of a surprise attack, Chris instantly got goosebumps.
sure.
hook!
quick recovery.
In the subsequent attack that cuts it horizontally, Roman calmly blocked the attack this time as well.
The defense of the moment was certainly not a coincidence.
As well as the reaction force transmitted through his hands, the defense's posture was quite stable.
'Look at this.'
It was unexpected.
I didn't know that Roman had such basic skills.
I thought that maybe it was Roman who actually subjugated Blood Fang.
If that were true, Roman would be as powerful as Jonathan, but now that he faced the sword, it didn't matter.
Match has already begun.
Chris felt that his temper would be relieved by defeating Roman.
tap.
Pak Pak Pak!
While taking an aggressive step, he continuously swiped down attacks from above. Those who watched the fast and powerful combo attack burst into exclamation, and Roman stepped back and urgently blocked the attack. It was a good enough defense. However, the moment Roman took the fifth step back, Chris' eyes lit up.
'Now.'
hook!
One blow.
attacked the gap.
I was sure that the attack would work this time, but the wooden sword slashed through Roman's hair in a matter of seconds.
palak.
hair blowing in the wind.
Below that, Roman's cool eyes could be seen.
I don't know why then.
Even though he couldn't properly grasp Roman's movements with the naked eye, he instinctively swung his sword to block it.
puck!
'how?!'
Right in front.
Roman's sword suddenly swung towards Chris's head. A powerful attack that would have ended the game as it was if it had not been blocked. Roman wasn't just good at defense. He had an excellent offensive basics, and as soon as the attack was blocked, he disappeared from Chris' view. side step. Out of sight like flowing water, he swung his wooden sword from bottom to top. Chris caught his breath at the anomalous attack.
"Ugh."
hook!
It was frustrating.
Is this Roman's skill?
I couldn't believe it even when I met him in person.
'It's like a real beggar.'
messed it up
I didn't want to lose.
It is unacceptable to be defeated by no one else but Dmitry's nerd in front of people's eyes.
I will wait for the time
Just as Roman tried to counterattack, he himself aimed at the opponent's gap.
That was then.
hook!
wide open chest.
Roman's actions were great.
The moment when you step into the thought that now is the right time.
heck.
' !'
Roman laughed.
I knew instinctively.
the fact that this is a trap.
It was a crisis.
Seeing Roman casually dodging his attack and immediately counterattacking, Chris exploded the power he had instinctively suppressed.
Quang!
Kurreung.
Explosions that take place inside.
It was the manifestation of the aura.
The standard to distinguish them from common people is the aura .
The power that makes humans superhuman.
As Chris showed his aura, Jonathan, who was watching, widened his eyes.
No!
It was dangerous.
Aura and wooden sword clash.
The result is obvious.
Not only will the wooden sword be shattered, but also, you don't know what kind of situation Roman will face in the aftermath of power.
The fact that it's not a true sword doesn't matter. It is the power of the aura that can cut through people with only a wooden sword.
My heart was pounding.
It was a mistake.
Had he known that Roman was the man who would put Chris in a corner, he should have given up his face and went on his own.
But then.
tap.
Roman leaped forward.
Even with a life-threatening blow in front of his eyes, he did not hesitate to move forward.
Just one step.
It did a miracle.
Roman's face was slightly cut and blood splattered, and he faced Chris's stained face with embarrassment and astonishment.
The fight is over.
The defenseless Chris.
Even with the sword removed, Chris would have accepted the result, but Roman did not let the situation pass.
'Those who show hostility will be dealt with with certainty.'
It is the rule of heaven.
Even if he didn't kill him, he had to pay the price for winning the victory by risking his life.
Sure!
Quick!
"Cuckoo?!"
A wooden sword pierced his face.
Chris, who was hit with the orthodox blow, rose to his feet, and a few teeth were scattere all over the training arena ground, along with thick blood.
People say Chris, who is a disciple of Jonathan, a three-star knight, and who developed a two-star aura at a young age, is Dmitry's greatest genius.
He was later evaluated as a talent that would go beyond Dmitry and become famous in the Kingdom of Cairo, and in Dmitry there was no match other then Jonathan.
he like that
went straight back
The released pupil proved that he had lost consciousness.
dump!
Chris fell on ground.
And after that.
" What is this?"
Jonathan's expression was stained with astonishment.
