18 – What are you doing? Without moving quickly

I looked at the woman in front of me.

She was a very attractive woman with long red hair.

Of course, if it was her hand that was aimed at me, not the sword.

At her lady’s provocation, Aline tried to draw her sword, but I raised her hand to stop her.

Anyway, it was because she, like Finn, felt like a victim who had been wronged by me.

“What is your name?”

“Zeria.”

“Why did you come here?”

“Don’t you remember who I am?”

“Yes. I have a really bad memory these days.”

In an instant, small wrinkles appeared on her forehead.

Anyway, he seemed quite angry.

But actually I didn’t know who she was because I didn’t know what she was before the novel.

Zeria kept staring at me in the eye, then she slowly opened her mouth.

“You are the daughter of the Douglas dojo owner who came to visit to learn swordsmanship.”

‘Douglas Dojo.’

It was the name of the dojo she had never heard of, but from what she said, it seemed that Rail was originally trying to learn the sword.

“In sparring, where only swords were used to fight, he used magic to put me to shame.”

It seems that the wretch Rail secretly used her magic during her sparring, leaving her with her shame.

“So you came here at this hour to have a sparring match with me?”

“Yes. It doesn’t matter if you use magic. Instead, the loser will grant the winner one wish.”

“It’s a wish….”

I thought for a while.

The time has already passed dawn and everyone is asleep.

Besides, I was in a state where my mental and physical strength had deteriorated a lot because I was exercising at a higher intensity than usual.

While contemplating whether to sparr with her, a good idea came to my mind.

I accepted her offer with a meaningful smile.

“I got it.”

“… Thank you for accepting my sudden request.”

She looked a little taken aback, as if she thought I wouldn’t accept the offer easily.

Then we gathered in the middle of the garden and faced each other.

The referee explained that Fenia and Allin saw it and that in dangerous situations, the two stop sparring.

“Start.”

With the voice announcing the start of Aline, our sparring began.

Zeria was the first to strike first.

Taat-

As she kicked her foot, her pebbles around her sprang into the air.

And before all the pebbles hit the ground, her sword flew at my neck.

It’s fast.

It was an unbelievable speed for a woman his age.

However, it was not so fast as to be invisible.

Already sparring with Fenia and Allin, I was able to see a certain amount of fast movement.

Chang-!

The transparent bullet I made twisted the trajectory of her sword.

I narrowly avoided her sword by a single piece of paper.

Suwoong – Zeria, who cut through the air, thought I couldn’t block her attack, so I saw her eyes shake slightly.

But she soon regained her composure and used the thrust of the blade to cut through the air to deliver her second sword strike.

Chang-!

But this time, too, my prepared bullet did not touch my body with her sword.

On the contrary, because of the blue bullets that were more powerful than before, she was pushed back a bit along with the sword.

She looked at me with widened eyes, as if she hadn’t expected that she would be pushed back.

“I thought only my face changed, but my skills have also improved a lot.”

Zeria changed her stance and took her defensive stance.

And with one focused eye on her, I was staring at every movement.

I think it’s my turn to attack this time.

I raised my magic.

Three compressed bullets were created in front of me.

The maximum number of bullets I could make at the same time with my current skill was three.

I raised my magic once more.

Then, blue mana rose from his empty left hand like a haze.

And naturally, it starts to seep into the translucent bullet.

Aim for the enhanced blue bullet Zeria.

Bang-! Three of her bullets flew towards her with the sound of her gun firing.

Kwaguagua-! Her silvery sword succeeded in deflecting the bullets so that they could not land on the owner’s body.

Seeing her sword that did not break even after being hit five times and her ability to block bullets that were invisible to the naked eye, she knew that her skills were not ordinary.

After blocking my attack, she raised the corner of her mouth happily.

But she couldn’t keep laughing.

Because she did not intend to subdue her with her bullets from the beginning.

I made her body light with lightweight magic and looked at the defenseless Zeria.

It’s a bit far away, but in the current state, I could reach her in an instant.

I didn’t make the whole body light as before.

Only the legs were left intact.

No. Rather, it made the legs a little heavy with a little gravity magic.

Even though I have higher strength than Fenia, the reason why I couldn’t achieve that level of speed. It was because it made the legs that should have been strengthened lighter.

Thump!

I kicked my foot.

Then the pebbles around them jumped into the air.

The moment the pebbles bounced, I was already in front of her.

“Crazy!”

Zeria immediately raised the sword at my unexpected speed.

‘It’s late.’

But I’ve already subdued her left arm with my hand. The other hand was holding her by the collar.

Everyone could see that she had been completely subdued by me.

“Stop.”

Alin also stopped our sparring, probably realizing that the game was over.

Aline didn’t answer who won.

Because even a child could already tell who was the winner and who was the loser.

I let go of her hand that was holding her as her battle was over.

Then I saw her figure up close.

A hand taller than me, and slightly torn cat eyes.

She was a woman whose red-hot red hair looked attractive.

She glared at me, pressing her teeth against her lips as if resentful of losing me.

But the loser couldn’t say a word.

She could do nothing but stare at me with her sharp eyes.

I opened her mouth without avoiding her eyes.

“As promised, you should grant me a wish, right?”

“As long as it doesn’t harm civilians.”

Fishik.

I raised the corner of my mouth.

Then he met her eyes and slowly opened her mouth.

“Come back to the mansion tomorrow at lunchtime.”

“… What?”

She asked back at my unexpected answer, but I didn’t say anything more.

It was because I was already mentally and physically tired and wanted to lie down in bed as soon as possible.

‘Well, it’s a promise he made, so he’ll come.’

So I left Zeria behind her and entered her mansion.

*

The next day.

As usual, I climbed the mountain with Aline.

But the intensity was different from usual.

Climbing, which has now become a walk in the neighborhood, did not feel like physical training anymore.

That said, I didn’t climb the mountain twice like yesterday.

Of course, it will help with training, but climbing a mountain twice will take up too much time.

So what I thought was to make Aline and I’s bodies heavier with gravity magic.

And the effect was greater than I thought.

“Heo Eok, Hee Eok, Heo Eok.”

It hasn’t been long since I climbed the mountain, but I’m already breathing heavily.

“Ha ha.”

Perhaps it was the same for Aline that was struggling, but her breathing was getting short of breath.

“Master is a genius. I never thought there would be such a good way.”

And Aline seemed to like the increased intensity of training, and she smiled as sweat broke out on her brow.

It felt like watching old men at the gym feeling pain as a stimulus.

So, with a body that was heavier than usual, I finished the mountain climbing with great difficulty.

I was drinking the cold water prepared by Luna, but Aline also asked me for a drink as if she was thirsty from sweating.

I burst out laughing when I saw her sweaty face for the first time.

As Aline and I were drinking water and taking a break, we heard footsteps approaching us.

Usually, Fenia would be approaching us, but unlike Fenia’s light footsteps, I heard heavy footsteps.

When she turned her head around, instead of the white-haired Fenia, there was a red-haired Zeria standing there.

I greeted Zeria lightly as she arrived as promised.

“Are you here?”

“So why did you bring me here?”

“For now, just wait a bit.”

I still haven’t explained her reason for asking her to visit her today.

As I was cooling off in the cool breeze, I heard light footsteps as usual.

“Why are you so sweaty again today?”

“When I was climbing, I used gravity magic to make my body heavy.”

“You climbed the mountain with a heavy body?”

“Yes. Aline likes her too.”

At my words, Fenia turned her head towards Aline, clicked her tongue and shook her head.

The response was that they didn’t understand our way of thinking.

Then Fenia’s gaze turns from Alyn to Zeria standing next to me.

“But why is he here?”

“I called.”

“Why?”

“For the time being, I’m going to have my opponent fight.”

Penia responded with “Hmm.” I looked at me and Zeria alternately with a sound.

It seemed like he was reminiscing about the sparring that happened yesterday.

And after finishing her thoughts, Fenia slowly opened her mouth.

“I think it will be fine. It seems that the girl’s skills aren’t too bad either.”

“Sure. I’m glad. First of all, Master, I think I’m about to collapse, so give me the potion quickly.”

“Tsk.”

Fenia kicked her tongue and immediately threw the prepared potion at me.

After confirming that the empty mana had returned, I immediately stood up.

And then, looking at Zeria, who was staring blankly at me, I said.

“What are you doing? You don’t get up quickly.”
