20-1. To know love.

[Match! Let’s start!!]

The horn sounded, announcing the start of the battle. I ran right into Wolffang towards Mardol.

Through the Sky is a powerful technique. It is disadvantageous if it is reflected. Cut through the wind, kicked off the ground, and ran.

I immediately tried to push the sword through the gap in the armor. That would be the weak point when facing full plate armor.

Chang-G-Rang.

“Good judgment.”

“..You’re blocking it as well.”

However, the steel flash could not be connected and was blocked by the glass wall. The alter egos created by the white crystals that pop out right after that. Wearing a transparent knight’s helmet, he looked more like Mardol than me.

“Keugh..!”

One alter ego copied the sword path I swung just before, and the other one drove me away with its left-right reversal.

Chaeeng-! Visor! Under her, her metallic tones resonated, and like her escort, an illusion made of glass guarded Mardol. It was also difficult to defend against sudden attacks.

‘This is a scam.’

The feeling of dealing with myself. With the frightening sense of danger, I widened the distance behind me. I had to think of a strategy first. How do I break the magic of that Mirror Mirage….

“..What are you doing?”

It was then. I could hear the unique tone from the glass helmet, and the heavily armored knight in front of me charged at me.

Same Wolf Fang. If you get hit, this happens. The distance that used to be far narrows in an instant. They got so close that their pitches collided with each other.

“Mr. Mardol. You don’t seem to want to leave me alone.”

“Right. Because it is special.”

The princess swung her sword. I blocked the glass sword with steel. A battle of strength and power. No matter how strong Mardol was, it was different this time.

“.. Huh? Why aren’t you pushed?”

“This much.. I can endure it now..!”

I’m barely holding on. The trembling blade. Perhaps he intended to make me let go of the sword.

Now I have my will, so I won’t lose in strength. Pressing hard on her ground, she was letting go of her weight. Ku Geuk. There was a crack and the floor of the arena cracked.

「Howling Wind.」

In that moment, her golden wolf eyes lit up. Giving up the balance that seemed unlikely to win, and going into the attack right away. Certainly, unlike Kainel, he seemed to have a lot of combat experience.

Aww!

The wolf’s howl came loudly right in front of me. Howling that hits your ears. In an instant, the balance of the body collapsed. Perhaps because it was an original skill, it was stronger than Leon’s.

“I was careless. Licht.”

With a huge stagger, Mardol swung his sword at me, not missing the opening.

A shiny sword spun by a sword that seems to be made from the same material as the armor. It diffused the light and was aiming for every gap. How the hell did he figure out the loophole in this short moment?

“Ha ha..”

I laughed out loud. Maybe it’s because she’s the daughter of Emperor Locke. It was strong. If I hadn’t been possessed by this world, perhaps this person would not have sat in the seat of the strongest?

“…”

But now I had to jump over that person. You have to catch the demon lords, but you can’t be pushed behind by the main character.

“Drake Ryu 2 meals. A reverse stab.”

If you want to beat me, come after 15 years. There is a saying that the best defense is offense. Conversely, I aimed for a gap in the opponent’s attack and stabbed my sword.

A skill that targets the weak point from the start and penetrates even the dragon’s scales. Each sword was offset, sparks flew, and each other’s experiences and efforts collided.

“..Ugh.”

It was Mardol who withdrew this time. From the beginning, Reverse Thrust specializes in linking swords with a series attack. It will be daunting the first time you encounter it.

“I even mixed in the shadow slash, but that’s too bad.”

“In the first place, you should definitely aim for something.”

Mardol continues to speak regretfully. I intentionally hurt the land of shadows so that I could not stop it, but as the saying goes, the best defense is an attack.

‘I know better than her about the weakness of Shadow Slash.’

If you hit back with such a strong attack, you’ll be helpless. I would have been beaten if I had only focused on defense.

It is a weak technique from the start. That’s why I only used the room that was mostly mixed with empty space.

It’s not for nothing that players say that if you don’t learn the 4th meal, you’re trash.

In the case of Mardol, it’s probably because he’s trying to overcome it with his unique tremendous strength, but that alone isn’t enough.

“Like this.”

That’s how I organized my thoughts. I stepped on the ground hard and made the blood flowing through my body tighten. Wind pressure gathering with the right hand.

“..As expected, that’s how it is.”

Mardol, wearing a glass helmet, was copying my tone and chanting lowly.

***

That time. In the stands, four figures were sitting huddled together.

“Hey, Kai.”

“Why, Ariel?”

“That… Who do you think will win?”

The red-haired wizard watched the progress of the fight and asked the warrior next to him, and Kainel smiled shyly and opened his mouth.

“Maybe Licht will win.”

“Why..? Not Mardol? Mardol is also very strong…”

“You know when you fight. The scary thing about that guy always comes from the unexpected.”

A couple of warriors who were each defeated by the two who entered the finals. We evaluated each other differently because we knew from fighting against strength.

“Right! Brother Cainel. Do you know anything?”

“Nex, no matter what, our Mardol will win.”

Seniors in the second year who know Fine Grancia, the true identity behind the glass armor, have similar opinions.

In the case of Nex, I knew the skill of a unique junior wearing a black knight helmet because I had personally accompanied him.

“You really think so? Char?”

“..Yes, because he is stronger than anyone else.”

A saintess who carries her divine power in her fist.

Chartines was only cheering for her little brother she knew in her glass armor. Because she couldn’t let Fine’s efforts she’d seen since childhood go to waste.

“It’s empty. Do I have to use such a big skill..?”

It was then. Cainell watched the match and spoke displeasedly. A skill that will be reflected as Mirror Mirage anyway.

The hero questioned, ‘Why does Richt use such a large preparation movement?’

I should have said before that Drake’s weakness is that he needs to move in advance. It didn’t fit his thorough personality. He was inconsistent

“Looks like you’re after something. Our junior Licht!”

“Yes? Nex bro. What does that mean….”

I tilted my head at the sound of the purple-haired man next to me. Wouldn’t it be reflected and blocked?

I’ve had the experience of watching Ariel play, and I’ve already done that at the beginning.

Too go go go go!!

Licht’s air slashes were fired, and sure enough, Mardol built a glass wall and struck back with several times the power. Winds colliding with each other.

“Look at that.”

From the chaos, a man wearing a black knight helmet appeared. Seeing Licht appear through the dust, Nex smiled like a fox.

“Am I right? To be honest, even among our sophomores, I don’t know of anyone who is stronger than junior Licht.”

It seems that the technique was written with the assumption that it would be blocked from the beginning.

“Oh, no way…”

Did you turn the weakness of large movements into a strength? Seeing that, Kainel deserves to beat me. She did and drew an arc around her mouth.

Drake’s weak point is that it requires a preliminary action. There are many gaps because there is no mana management, and as Kainel told me, the burden on the body goes a lot.

‘Technology that has both advantages and disadvantages. Whatever it is, though.’

I immediately rushed forward after using the air strike. The technology called Mirror Mirage has similar weaknesses.

As a result of continuing to rush and grasp, it is slightly slower than the original. I swung my sword to break all the alter egos that were using emptiness at me.

From the beginning, empty space is a slow technique, so if you imitate it, the gap will increase even more. It split, cut, and jumped the wind blowing from the other side.

Dust scattering from an offset storm obscured Mardol’s vision. An opportunity not to be missed.

“.. Huh? How?”

“It’s a combination of a savage stab and an empty slash. It’s a skill you don’t have.”

At some point, I came close to her, and swung her sword again. A series of attacks carrying the wind that followed. It made up for its weakness with the 2-type reverse thrust, whose strength is speed.

The Drake style of swordsmanship is such an imperfect technique that complements each other. It is a human effort created by Master alone in the first place.

But paradoxically, because of that, he can be stronger than anyone else. Even when he grabbed the Magic Hat, he used Demon King’s Slaughter, a combination of all his skills.

If I cut it like this, it’s probably my victory. He was intuitively feeling the mana reserve gradually being cut off. Unable to keep up with the momentarily amplified speed, Mardol is pushed back.

“..As expected, it’s strong.”

Caught on the defensive, she opened her mouth. The twinkling golden eyes gleamed with fierce fighting spirit, and it was a look that would not tolerate her defeat.

「Glass Knight.」

It was then. Suddenly, a shadow fell over my vision, and a huge sword descended from the sky and tried to crush me.

“What..?”

As a judgment based on the combat experience accumulated so far, I used the wing shedding to shed the suddenly protruding greatsword. Looking at it again, something appeared behind Mardol’s back.

[A huge glass knight came out from behind the Mardol students! It looks like a giant! How will the Licht student get through this situation!]

A gigantic knight with only the upper half of his body. It was following her actions like a puppet show. How did you do that is it magic

It glittered as if it were made of glass, and had a majestic appearance that made it look like a large spirit. Was there a skill like that in the knight class?

“Licht, if it were you… You would be able to fight with all your heart.”

I retreated back again. If confronted head-on, it will be crushed by force. I lowered my iron sword for a moment and caught my breath.

A skill like that would get caught up if there were comrades around, just like mine.

‘I wonder if I couldn’t use that when fighting Magic Hat.’

I was in awe. A skilled person who twists the concept of steel and molds glass of that size. There was definitely evidence that he was the main character.

“Same thing. Mardol.”

To be honest, I was happy. As a player who likes games, is there anything more enjoyable than this? The desire to compete ran through her body, making her blood boil.

“I believe in love.”

It rained. The shower chased me, and a cobalt-colored sword fell from the sky and lodged in my forefoot. She judged that she would not be able to defeat her with the iron sword she used before.

“..I will do my best.”

The difference between a guard dog and a wolf is knowing love.

I have to prove that I am a wolf, not a puppy.

To be precise, I had to use the sword I forged based on my convictions to shatter the glass knight’s armor.
