My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 11. Candidate for the Next Emperor (8)

To blame!

“!”

Kang! Pacan!

The wind blows in just as Tina is about to hit the ground.

She was blocking all the attacks coming towards her with her sword, but considering Tina’s hand was shaking, the more she continued this confrontation, the more Tina was at a disadvantage.

Kang! Kang!

Tina catches her breath as she blows away the long winds that continue to fly without a break.

“After… ….”

The sword energy carried on the blade of the aura becomes more and more clear.

Although she was infinitely inferior to Phasma’s, considering that she was 13 years old, she could be said to have very good growth potential.

And the knights who saw it started buzzing about the birth of the seventh sword master.

“To be a sword master at such a young age. That’s great.”

“Huh!”

A faster pace than just a moment ago.

It was a movement that I couldn’t follow with my eyes, but Ella reacted properly.

He clenched his fist as he saw Tina closing in on her in an instant. Knuckles were already in her hand.

“「Nakyeong」.”

“「Sonic Punch」.”

Pacan!

Reflects Tina’s sword as she slashes down.

“…… !”

Perhaps it was an unexpected shock, Tina almost let go of her sword. Tina barely holds on to the handle of her sword as it tries to slip out of her grip.

But Ella wasn’t going to miss that opportunity. She throws her fist out once more.

“「Sonic Punch」!”

The moment Ella’s knuckles were about to touch Tina’s body. Tina’s sword swung toward her floor. The sword flies and hits the ground.

Pak!

As the ground Ella stands on explodes, her center of gravity collapses and her fist cuts through the air.

“!”

Tina, aiming for her momentary gap, swung her sword at Ella while spinning in the air.

Ella ducked her body and dodged her sword before she took a stance.

Tina, who came down to her land, also straightened her sword and dashed at her.

Once within range of the sword strike, she swings her sword without hesitation. It was a speed that a normal person would never be able to react to.

However, Ella was an S-class adventurer who was called the second strongest person next to the hero in the game.

Kang!

After blocking her sword with her knuckles, she swings her fist. Tina slashes her knuckles and she blocks her fists from coming at her.

Kang! Kang! Kang!

Two people stick together and don’t think about falling apart.

Tina and Ella are both constantly attacking and attacking continuously.

That was the moment.

Ka—Ah!

Tina deflects Ella’s fist completely, tightening her grip. Ella also powers her fist.

“「Destruction Strike」!”

“Crushing Blow!”

Pacan!

The moment Tina’s sword and Ella’s knuckles touched, the ground they were standing on exploded with an intense crackling sound in the air.

The two people, who took a step back from each other due to the intense shock, try to attack again.

“Welcome to Chung Island.”

“「Facheon Hogyeok」.”

Tina’s sword and Ella’s knuckles meet once again.

Chang!

From noble mtl dot com

When the two weapons touch, the two are pushed back once more.

“As expected, S-class seems to be different.”

Muttering, Tina changed the way she gripped her sword. Seeing that, Ella began to gather her wind into her own fist. She seemed to be dragged by the atmosphere.

“You may not be able to control your strength. So please block it properly.”

“The same goes for me.”

As the spirit of the two burst out, the floor of the arena began to shake.

“Go.”

Ella runs towards Tina. Tina said softly, holding her stance.

“「Welcome to the Island」.”

“「Fist of Extinction」!”

The moment Tina’s sword skill and Ella’s wind energy met, a huge explosion occurred.

Koo-kwa-kwa-kwang!

“Wow! What?!”

The battlefield explodes like an explosion. A huge cloud of dust rises and swallows the surroundings.

If Ariel hadn’t stopped her, she would have had to cover herself with all sorts of dust.

“How did the game go?!”

Cry of a certain knight.

Everyone is anxious and hopes that the dust will settle quickly.

The silhouettes of two people can be seen through the dust that gradually disperses.

I was just trying to be relieved when I saw both of them standing there.

“Master, Tina’s wrist is strange.”

“What?”

Looking closely at Iris’ words, Tina was holding her wrist in the dust, her sword dropped.

When I glanced at her the other side, Ella was holding onto her shoulders, catching her breath.

The dust has completely settled, and I look alternately at the two men standing on top of the arena.

The two men, who have been battered by the dust, stare at each other and then rearrange themselves.

“This much already. I am really afraid of the future.”

“As expected, S rank is strong.”

Tina picks up her sword from the ground with her left hand. Apparently, her right wrist was broken.

“But…… Not as absolute as the Master.”

Seeing Tina in her attacking stance, Ella removed her hand from her right shoulder blade.

As soon as she let go of her hand, the blood loss increased noticeably. She looked like a pretty big cut.

“Yes. Let’s keep going.”

“Stop!”

Just before Tina kicked the ground, I shouted.

Tina and Ella flinch at the same time and tighten their bodies.

“Why, why is that, Master?”

“Stop it.”

“Yes?”

Tina gave a bewildered sound at my words, and then she continued her words as if to explain.

“Master, I haven’t lost yet.”

She appeals to me with her face.

Her pride seemed to be hurt. It was fresh for her to rebel for the first time, but honestly, I was a little scared when she glared at me and gnashed her teeth.

“I know.”

“I am a disciple of Prause. It’s true that S rank is strong, but not to the point of losing. And even if I have to lose to someone, it must be the teacher.”

“I know you didn’t lose. It’s just that I don’t want to see my pupil get seriously hurt.”

If you look at the current situation, you can’t say that you’ve been pushed back by the S-class because you’re giving and receiving one blow at a time, but it didn’t seem like there was anything good to continue sparring like this.

Ella was much stronger than I expected.

Even though she was Ella, she thought that she would be no match for Tina, but she far exceeded expectations.

Is there a variable I don’t know about? Or is it just because Tina doesn’t use her aura well?

We’ll have to find out what the reason was later, but as a result, Tina was fatally injured by Ella.

“…… Are you seriously hurt? I am? Master, do you think I will lose?”

Suddenly, Tina came down from the arena and stood in front of me. There was anger in the black eyes looking up at me.

“I… Are you not trustworthy?”

“No, I don’t mean that. It means don’t overdo it.”

“A crowd. Swarm… ….”

Tina muttered something, was silent for a moment, then opened her mouth.

“…… Teacher.”

“What is it?”

“This sparring must be won, right?”

“Yes.”

“You trusted me and sent me to Dalian first?”

I couldn’t figure out what the hell the question was for.

But there is no shaking in the eyes. No matter what I said, I could see his will to do what he wanted to do.

“… Okay.”

“Then trust me and wait. Ella Todia and Glair Todia, I will defeat them all. When I’m done with it, the teacher can stroke my hair and praise me as always. Because I can do that.”

“… ….”

I also want to let it go wild.

Having the experience of being cornered will be of great help when defeating the army commander or the demon king later.

But even as a hero, he was not invincible.

I didn’t want to overuse it in a situation where one wrist was wobbly.

Besides, he’s still thirteen.

I’m thirteen, so if you break your wrist, just cry. Don’t hold back

“You did your part well enough. I beat Acher and cut Ella’s stamina a lot. Now you can leave it to Iris or Maria.”

In addition to Ella’s serious injury, there was no way she would lose to Mariani, who is currently the top competitor of Glare.

“…… I don’t want to go through any further gaps.”

Tina speaks as if talking to herself.

“What?”

“I want to surpass my mentor.”

Tina’s words gave me the illusion that the atmosphere around her had changed.

“Me… jump over?”

“And I don’t want to give up the praise I receive from my teacher to the other kids.”

Looking to her side, Iris and Maria were watching Tina. It feels quite different from the expression she usually looks at Tina.

“So please don’t stop me. I will do it to the end.”

I saw her stubborn Tina, then I saw Ella holding her wounds on top of her arena.

“Ella.”

“Yes, Mr. Prause.”

“Are you going to keep fighting?”

“…… It should be. From our family’s point of view, we cannot give up our royal connections.”

Ella said with an effortful smile. She was currently bleeding and her breathing was very irregular. Even though she looks like she’s going to collapse any moment, she stands firm.

“You’re going to fight like that?”

“I can’t help it. If I don’t faint like Acher’s brother, I’ll have to keep fighting.”

I can’t see the figure of her own father resting on the other side of her.

At Ella’s words, Tina turned around to go upstairs again.

“Watch it. I will definitely come and win.”

But before she could jump, I grabbed her arm.

“Eh?”

Just like that, reporter Tina came into my arms with her embarrassed face.

“Teacher?”

Looks up at me with a bewildered face. The wide-eyed eyes seemed to indicate how flustered he was.

“…… I’m not going to let you fight until you faint.”

Neither of them are fatally injured, and considering Tina’s feelings, I know it’s not a good idea to stop the sparring.

But there were other warriors waiting behind, so there was no reason to abuse Tina alone.

“Master! Because I can still do it?”

“Rest, Tina.”

When I speak stubbornly, she puts her mouth on her lips, then drops her head and puts her head on my chest.

“…… All right.”

I looked at Ella after gently stroking Tina’s hair, which she reluctantly gave up in the end.

She was looking at Tina with a look of envy.

“Ella, stop the bleeding if you are going to keep fighting. You may collapse from anemia.”

“…… Yes.”

“Get the potion and give it to Ella.”

I was dumbfounded when I heard Glare talking to the knight holding the potion.

No, I told you to stop bleeding. Who said to eat potions?

“Glare, what do you mean by potion? If you drink the potion, there will be no point in fighting, right?”

Potions are not powerful enough to heal all wounds at once, but they can significantly restore lost physical strength and physical injuries.

So what is the meaning of having a grand battle? Only the losing side continues to be at a disadvantage.

“If you want to heal Ella, give up sparring.”

“What…… ?”

With her daughter’s stupid attributes, he can’t stand watching Ella get hurt.

That was what I was aiming for.

“I will only allow you to wear a bandage. If you make me drink the potion, I’ll know you’re giving up sparring.”

I took a potion from the bag I was carrying and handed it to Tina.

It was good to bring it just in case you didn’t know. She entrusts me with the sword and drinks her potion.

“What are you going to do?”

I was watching Tina’s wrist and saw Glare. He was biting her lower lip. He had a troubled look.

“Ella, how about giving up Dalian? Her dad will take care of everything.”

“… Dad, Prause’s students are all on the same level as me. If I don’t beat at least two of them, there is no chance.”

“As Ella said, Iris, who will be up next, is a swordsman of the same level as Tina. Maria, who will go up next, is a sorceress who has broken through to the 7th tier.”

“What… ….”

“Seventh Rank.”

Among the knights, the murmur intensifies.

I was surprised to see that a 7th tier wizard appeared following the sword master.

“Hey, isn’t the Magic Guild Master the 8th tier?”

“Ah, it must be good. How can a 13-year-old break through the 7th rank?”

From noble mtl dot com

If you hear that you are close to the 8th rank, you will be very upset.

“You just have to see for yourself whether it is a ball or not. Of course, if Glair gives up Dalian here, we won’t be able to show it.”

“Do you think I will give up?”

“If you don’t give up, Ella will collapse one hundred percent. I promise.”

“Keuugh.”

At the point when Acher couldn’t help but hit Tina, the outcome of this sparring was decided.

The best condition for them to win was to continue the one-on-one situation.

“What are you going to do? Are you going to increase the number of victims and end it here? Or are you going to give up Dalian?”

In fact, this was an option that Glair would never have offered if he hadn’t had the daughter fool attribute.

Since Ella was infected with Magi, he was such a fool as to break Ella’s heart every time she saw her hurt and struggling.

So with a high probability he will choose the latter.

“I—”

After thinking for a while, Glair opened her mouth.
