Chapter 7 - [3.1] Quick Fight

Ms. Moonlight and Historia talk for a while. Once Historia was gone as she went to train by herself, Ms. Moonlight looked at Noel before saying "How are you doing? Are you ready" What? Why would she ask him that or maybe she just greeted him?

"I'm pretty good, not much going on except… after school that is" He answered no one could deny that he was feeling good.

"Good good" and she just walked away, what a strange woman. But of course, she still needed to do her duty as a teacher.

A boy approaches Noel who seems to be the young master's subordinates. "Spar with me" he straight up just declared in an arrogant voice. And then he goes closer to him "Forget about Historia" 

'What is he- oh never mind he thought I was hitting on Historia'. Maybe I should be doing that, hehe' Even a person who has never been in a relationship could tell that he and Historia do seem to be close. "Alright, so we're doing it right here? If you don't mind what's your name? By the way, I'm Noel Von Degurashafte" 

"Von? Ah, you're a noble too??!. I'm Ethan Von Beserk" he answers. Because he didn't know where the deguarashacte belonged in the empire, he didn't want to study about the noble and would prefer fighting. 

"Beserk in a family from the 50th strongest family in the human empire?" Noel asked in surprise, he knew what the Beserk family were like.

"Yep," he proudly exclaimed of his family. Every noble has much pride when it comes to their family. Well except Noel that is he isn't from this world to begin with and just borrowed this body.

The Berserk came around 200 years ago it was first known as 'The Dishonour Demon' because of their demon-like nature, they were often attacking the human empire like the demons. Something happened 80 years ago, it was their 120 patriarch who decided to join the human empire under the new family name 'Beserk' and they were granted the name 'Von' after contributing to the far after joining.

They were among the top 10 but over the years the family hasn't been able to produce a successful heir to take their ancestor's position. Currently the strength of the family isn't the same as they were "The Dishonour Demon" many of their family history and treasure are missing or destroyed.

Even if they weren't in the top 10, they are still within the top 100 meaning that their resources are not limited. However, the heir to the throne is still naive. They are serving the family above them without much thought and think that 'I have made a connection with a stronger one'.

Light family is amount of the top 20 but he doesn't want to make a connection with Historia, and he got a valid reason why he doesn't want to do. She was known as 'the one who left nothing' and this phrase means literally. When she doesn't with her prey she brings disaster to the prey until they are gone.

"Alright then"  Noel and Ethan grabbed their sword, they both used swords, however. Noel uses a longer one while Ethan uses a medium-sized sword. They then go into a position.

Long swords have an advantage but mobility slows it down.

While they were doing that, a student was looking at them so he went up "Can I be a match starter?" Noel and Ethan nodded. "5, 4, 3, 2…"  The air in their system rises as they wait for the last two calls. "1, Go!"

Ethan ran toward as he prepared to swing straight forward but Noel was going to swing across horizontally so in response. Ethan stopped, swinging sword to block the incoming his sword from his left.  

Ethan pushes Noel's sword away using his own before running using his hand trying to land a punch. Because Noel was using the long sword he wasn't able to block it, if he let go then he would be doomed.

"Urgh!" the blow landed on his stomach however Noel then kicked his leg resulting in Ethan falling down and Noel's sword over Ethan's head. "I won" Noel exclaims.

This fight was fast because they were using sharp but not real swords to identify this training as real as possible and if there was an injury you would go to the healer to heal you up. Also, killing is prohibited.
