Ira was looking at Sin's departing figure. She doesn't know what to say or how to react.
Mira came in front of her and asked her if she was alright.
Ira replied she was okay. However, she is still frustrated because this win is much worse than the biggest defeat in her life.
It was as if he did not lose but let her win the match.
Ira's mother whose formal name is Vitra Tazzel came in front of her and asked why she was confused to defend when he was attacking.
Ira explained she was seeing several spears when he was attacking. And she realized she is seeing a mirage however even if she knows that she couldn't defend herself.
She also said that it wasn't she who was dodging his attack. He was missing intentionally to hit her.
The entire time he was just playing with her. She also mentioned that even if she uses magic it would still be hard to defeat him. Because she felt like even Sin was holding back his true strength.
Hearing her everyone was confused about Sin's capabilities. Was he truly a level 1 boy?
Madam Vitra told Madam Rubi that,
"Is he really started to train for a week or less? I am not feeling like it is the case. Because his movement was so confident that, it was as if he was doing that for more than a decade."
She was talking about his footwork and dodging ability.
"I can assure you that he was doing that for less than a week. But you are right, it felt like he is an expert on this kind of footwork there was no mistake on his steps."
: Madam Rubi replied to her.
"That explained that he is a true prodigy."
Ira asked why he was hiding his true ability all these years, it's not like he is a coward. Madam replied he is just a lazy guy that's all. Maybe he was bored of his laziness and wanted to do something new.
However, in the end, she wasn't convinced of her own answer. She felt like something was wrong with that boy. But it is probably the distance they made between them that left her unknown of his behavior.
On the other hand, most of the onlookers thought that Sin just got too afraid to face her full power, he will be lost anyway which is why he ran away by giving up the match.
At afternoon. It was time for Vitra and her daughters to return to their home Ira told them that,
"I will stay here for a few days."
Everyone was surprised to hear her. Because she doesn't stay here that much, she thinks that staying here is boring for her. But this is the first time she said that by herself. So, it was surprising to everyone.
On the other hand, Mira understood that she did it because of Sin. He piqued her interest.
Mira wanted to say something regarding that, but she refrained herself to not to say it. Because she probably doesn't know that the marrying challenge was a false rumor.
She wanted to know very much who created this rumor. Well, it doesn't matter, it is good that something remains unknown and rumor. That's how the game started to become interesting.
When they left Rubi looked at Ira with a satisfied look. She told Ira that you have grown really well, you are the future of the Tazzel bloodline. Ira Tazzel smiled and thanked her.
Then she asked her if Sin was in his room. Rubi looked at one of her maids. She was giving the signal that he was in the backyard doing Spear training.
Then she told her to go there and she will find him. She thanked her and left her guest room.
She has a smile on her lips. Though not everything went all according to her plan, it worked anyway.
Well, she was the one who spread the rumor that Sin challenged her to duel for marriage. If Sin wins she has to marry her.
It was not a mother's mischievous move. It was a heavy political movement from her side.
She was aware of the result of doing something like that which has a big side effect. And she was doing that for that side effect.
She expected to lose Sin miserably. However, he put up a decent fight so she was double happy.
Now then, she will look forward to catching the rats which were hiding in the shadow.
On the other side, Ira found Sin who was swinging his spear in the backyard.
"Do you do that every day?"
She asked him. He looked at her. It was an uninterest gaze.
"Yes, I do that recently."
He replied to her.
"What change your mind anyway? I heard that you were the laziest person in this world."
She asked him.
"Do I look like that to you?"
He asked her.
"No."
She has seen him 2 years later. So, she wasn't sure about the rumor.
"Then why do you guys keep saying that?"
He showed an annoyed face. Though it would have looked like that, he was pretending.
"You are still rude. But you became more interesting than before."
Ira told him.
"I do not know how to react."
He said that. He was not sure if it was bad-mouthing or a compliment. She was smiling at him.
Ignoring her smile he started to swing the spear again to increase the affinity.
She asked him if he liked the spear. He replied that it suits him the most that's why he chose that.
Then she repeated the same story about their grandfather who used to use a spear.
He didn't intervene in her explanation of history. Because it will cause more questions coming.
However, he didn't know how much she could talk.
He finished his Spear training for today and started to go to his room. She was still following her.
When they were in front of his room, she told him,
"I would like to face you again."
Sin looked at him interestingly this time to see her battle sprite. He saw in her eyes that he was not convinced of her victory.
"Well, I am not strong enough to face you again."
He replied to her.
"I don't care what your intention is of fighting me. But I want a fair rematch."
Hearing her Sin stab his two index and middle finger at her forehead. She again saw several hands coming toward her. She tried to move one side. However, she missed the actual one and got pocked by two fingers on her forehead like what Itachi does to Sasuke.
