READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 53: (1)
“Kuh… Very well.”
The expression in Kaes’s eyes changed as he turned his wrist around.
‘It’s like the gaze of a predator.’
Should he call it the gaze of a strong person? It was rare to see such a gaze even on the battlefield.
Perhaps Kaes was stronger than Kaiyan had thought.
“Well then, this time you can come at me first.”
Kaiyan looked at Kaes and tapped his sword as he had done before.
“Kekhee… It’s been a while since I’ve met an interesting opponent. Let’s go!”
This time, Kaes charged forward with a kick on the ground.
He seemed to have genuinely made up his mind, as he moved surprisingly fast.
“Haaah!”
A sharp diagonal slash was aimed at Kaiyan’s right side. However…
‘The right side is a feint, it’s the left!’
Kaiyan’s danger sense told him that the fact Kaes aimed for his right side was a lie.
Following his danger sense, Kaiyan stepped back, and the sword that Kaes had aimed for his right side suddenly moved to the left, transforming into a sharp thrust.
‘It’s difficult to properly discern the direction of the sword even though I can see it with my eyes.’
It may be inferior to a knight’s swordsmanship, but compared to other mercenaries, it was a remarkably sharp attack. It reminded him of Uncle Jeff.
Since Kaiyan’s experience was lacking, relying solely on visual judgment put him at a disadvantage.
“Oh ho, I thought he was just an amateur… So you really have been on the battlefield. Impressive evasion.”
“I was surprised too. Your attack just now was quite sharp.”
“Kekhuhuhu, then let’s start again.”
With those words, Kaes swung his sword first. It meant that he wouldn’t let his guard down anymore.
Kaiyan looked at Kaes’s sword with narrowed eyes, ready to respond.
Shing!
‘Faster!’
Kaiyan calmly evaded each strike that came from all directions.
‘…This is fun.’
Indeed, sparring with a person was distinctly different from fighting monsters. Even a simple thrust contained tricks, so Kaiyan couldn’t let his guard down for a moment.
With every swing of the sword, he had to think about where Kaes was aiming and what move would give him an advantage.
‘Once again, the right side is a fake!’
In that regard, Kaiyan once again realized how incredible his danger sense was.
To have completely deciphered all the tricks Kaes had carefully planned!
If Kaes had known this fact, he would have been outraged, and there would have been no end to it.
Shing!
“Hmm?”
Kaes, who had been exchanging sword strikes, realized that something was amiss and quickly pulled his sword back.
It was a posture Kaiyan hadn’t seen before.
At the same time, Kaiyan felt a sense of danger.
‘…There’s nowhere to evade?’
In that case, the only option left was…
‘I’ll strike back! Penetrating Stab!’
One beat faster than when Kaes swung his sword, Kaiyan thrust his sword forward. At the same time, Kaes swung the sword he had pulled back.
Quang!
“Kugh!”
“Haa, hoo.”
The impact was like an explosion of magic.
Kaiyan was surprised once again by the fact that he had received such an impact purely with his own strength, without even using aura.
Well, he was a player, but Kaes wasn’t just an ordinary person!
“…Kaiyan.”
“Yes, Kaes.”
“I apologize, but… are you a monster?”
What was Kaes saying?
“…That’s the question I wanted to ask.”
“Haha, are you really 15 years old?”
“Yes.”
“It feels like I wasted my life. Especially that insane strength is beyond comprehension.”
Kaes looked a bit gloomy.
From his perspective, as someone who didn’t know about players, it must be perplexing.
Kaiyan, however, had no intention of stopping here. Even if it meant Kaes sacrificed more for his growth.
Crack.
Kaiyan firmly gripped his sword again and looked at Kaes.
“Well, Kaes, let’s continue…”
“No, the test is sufficient.”
“What?”
“You can wait outside for a moment.”
“No… I want to…”
No, what was this?
Kaiyan was starting to feel the heat in his body, and Kaes wanted to stop now.
“This is only a spar, not a real battle. This should be enough, so please leave.”
“…”
Although it felt a bit regrettable to end it like this, Kaes’s firm tone and expression made it seem like he had no intention of fighting anymore, no matter what Kaiyan did.
“…Understood. Thank you for the great spar.”
“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”
As Kaiyan received Kaes’s farewell and opened the door with weakened steps to go outside, an employee who had been waiting there sat down on a chair and asked him to wait for a moment before entering.
They probably wanted to check Kaes’s evaluation results.
“Hey! Kaiyan, how did the test go?”
As he walked towards the chair, someone placed their hand on his shoulder and pretended to know him.
“Oh, Mr. Bisel.”
Bisel, a mercenary overflowing with fighting spirit.
He wore a knowing expression and tapped his back.
“You took the test from Kaes, right? Ah, that guy should be more gentle. Cheer up, Kaiyan!”
His expression was too dark, making him wonder.
“Aren’t you still young? Even if you didn’t do well on this test, you can take it again next time!”
Bisel was trying to console him as if he had failed the test. There was no way that was the case.
“Mr. Bisel, it’s not…”
He opened his mouth to clarify the misunderstanding, but…
“Ah! I know everything, so it’s okay! But why did you choose the Blatan branch in the first place? It’s known for being tougher than anywhere else!”
“Yes, that’s true.”
He decided to wait for the employee to come out. Once he appeared, any misunderstandings would be resolved on their own.
“I should check my status window after a long time.”
Ignoring Bisel, who continued to chatter next to him, he summoned his status window.
