I was planning to be a spectator. But, since I also wanted to get the reward, I was forced to interrupt Princess Liettha's fight.
That girl is great! She can use two magic at the same time, the magic she mastered and the magic that came from that special Grimoire. Coupled with the control of her magic energy that was slightly centered in the legs to walk on water. Multi-tasking, there was no way an ordinary person could do it.
*Splash!
The zombie shark swung its tail fin to create a huge wave. Princess Liettha used water magic with the same power to break the wave.
*Boom!
The violet-haired girl shot out at high speed. It was not normal speed.
"Ah, speed acceleration magic?"
Princess Liettha was already preparing to slash at the fish. Her sword had been infused with blue magic energy.
*Slash!
A long diagonal slash almost split the zombie shark. However, the creature quickly recovered its body. The monster's regeneration was absurd!
Princess Liettha didn't stop attacking. She increased the speed at which she swung her sword.
Well, there was a trick to counter the regeneration ability. It was to attack quickly until the regeneration ability couldn't keep up. But, Princess Liettha's slash wasn't fast enough. All her attacks were in vain!
She also took out some elemental magic from her Grimoire.
"Ah, it's just a Grimoire that contains weak spells, 1st, and 2nd tier. If I had it, I would have thrown it away!"
Furthermore, this location had been noticed by the knights who began to arrive. They were surprised to see Princess Liettha fighting.
"Cursed creature!" Princess Liettha shouted at the zombie shark.
The violet-haired girl attacked the shark with many fireballs. Of course, it didn't cause any damage to the monster.
Princess Liettha was a bit frustrated, I guess. She couldn't hurt that annoying monster.
"Princess Liettha!" The knights were trying to call out to her. Well, she ignored them.
The zombie shark next dived underwater. Well, it was tired of defending, there were times when it attacked.
Princess Liettha thought that the fish had escaped because the water had become very calm, the turbulence and ripples of the water were gone.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
*Boom!
The water beneath Princess Liettha churned and created a giant water geyser that pushed her high into the sky.
The knights tried to catch her as she was about to fall on the plains. Well, they managed to prevent Princess Liettha's injury.
However, the princess was visibly upset.
"Are you hurt, Your Highness?"
"Shut up and help me defeat that thing!" Ah, she's so fierce.
The knights then prepared themselves to join the fight. They waited for the shark to surface again.
The river water was still black and foul-smelling. The monster should not have escaped yet.
"Hmm... maybe I can join?!" I used Clay Weapon to form a full armor that covered my entire body.
The zombie shark appeared again. The knights quickly surrounded the fish from various directions and used chain magic to capture it to prevent it from escaping.
"Huh, thank you. The one who will get the prize is me!"
I appeared conspicuously before the people.
"Who are you? Hey, don't do whatever you want! Follow the formation ...."
*Slash!
I slashed the troublesome fish into two pieces. Well, it regenerated instantly, but I didn't let it.
*Slash! *Slash! *Slash!
The movement of my sword grew faster until the human eye couldn't see the movement. The turbulence and ripples of the water grew larger. The creature's regeneration ability couldn't keep up with successive attacks at this speed.
"Well, it's done! Fire sword!" I added fire elemental magic to my sword and...
*Boom!
The monster exploded with body parts thrown in all directions. Princess Liettha couldn't believe what she was seeing. She approached me.
"Who are you? Are you one of the knights? Why hide your power? With that power, you can get a higher rank and your life might be better--"
"I don't care, Your Highness! Reward me!" I slightly changed my voice to avoid being noticed by Princess Liettha.
Well, I guess it's too much. She doesn't care about someone like me. How could she possibly recognize my voice?
Isn't she worried about her colleague who was left alone? I'm an unconsidered character.

"Where did you get the money? This is very suspicious!" Amara narrowed her eyes at me.
I enjoyed my day off by taking Amara for a walk and promising to buy her something.
"Don't you trust your brother, Amara? I tried so hard to get it, you know?"
"It's not that! It's just that ...."
"I desperately earned that money to be able to treat my beautiful sister ...."
"Alright, alright. I-I believe you." Amara looked away shyly.
"So, what do you want to buy?"
"Probably buy a sword."
"A sword? What for? We get free swords from the academy."
"Have you forgotten, my brother? Next week is the exam and the swords from the academy break easily, the quality is poor. I want to have my sword!"
Exams? Huh, that's troublesome. According to what I know. The academy students would probably be sent to a dungeon and told to... Well, maybe collect monster materials, kill monsters, or survive a certain amount of time in the dungeon.
"Yes. Then... do you have any good blacksmithing suggestions?" I asked.
Amara paused to think. She had an idea. "Maybe there is?"
My sister immediately pulled my hand to head somewhere in the bustling capital. We stopped at a weapon shop.
"Ma's blacksmith? Are you sure about this place, little sister?" I was a little doubtful because the weapon shop was in a quiet alley.
"Don't just judge! It's said that Ma is a great blacksmith! He's made many great weapons!"
"That's just a rumor. Where did you hear that?"
"From professor Rafta. When I broke my sword into two pieces. He suggested going here. He said Ma's blacksmith was his regular for buying equipment."
"I suggest not trusting that narcissistic guy."
"Why?"
"I don't like him."
Amara laughed, "huh, silly excuse!"
"I warned you, little sister."
We entered the simple shop, and what greeted us were various types of weapons.
"Welcome." The shopkeeper said kindly.
Ma was a small, black-haired man with a bushy beard. In some fantasy stories, the blacksmith profession was always practiced by Dwarves.
"I want to buy a sword. Are there any powerful swords here?" Amara asked.
"There is an adamantine sword. Do you want it?"
"Rie, do you have enough money?"
"Can we provide the materials for the sword we want?" I asked.
A sword made of adamantine was not enough for Amara.
"But, it will cost more."
"No problem."
