The Marquis Is a Master of Martial Arts

[Attribute: Berserker, Strength lv1]

[Likeability: -20 (Unlike) ]

The main character in the novel, who later becomes the main character’s trusty ally, was standing in front of me.

But he seems to be more likable than yesterday.

“Greetings, Marquis. My name is Cryde, a novice knight.”

“Yes. Cryde.”

“It’s an honor to call you by name. Your Excellency!”

Clyde was looking at the Marquis like a fan watching an idol.

“You have work to do.”

“whatever!”

“You can have a confrontation with Yuren here.”

“Yes? With the Archduke? Ah! I’m sorry. To dare to ask the Marquis…”

“hahahaha, it’s okay. You deserve to hear it wrong. You heard it right. You just have to fight this girl once.”

The Marquis beckoned and called me closer.

“I’ll explain the rules from now on.”

“You’re serious.”

“Your Ren’s victory condition is to pierce Cryde’s sword and match his memorized spells with his body, while Cryde’s victory condition is to avoid or block Yuren’s memorized spells. It’s simple, isn’t it?”

As the Marquis said, it is a simple and easy-to-judge rule. But the Marquis and Cryde obviously thought I would lose, and they weren’t thinking about the problem of the dagger fitting their bodies.

If they get hit, they’ll come back, but you ignore them too much.

“You don’t need to prepare for both, right?”

“Of course. Sir, may I draw my sword?

“okay.”

After hearing the Marquis’ words, Clyde pulled out the training sword from his waist.

“I’m ready too.”

I took out the three daggers I brought.

“Do you mind not bringing more daggers?”

“Enough.”

“Then begin!.”

Cryde and I stood facing each other, widening our distance.

“Cryde!”

“I won’t let Cryde lose!”

“If I lose, there is no food today. Cryde!”

“If you lose, it’s 100 rounds of the gymnasium!”

“Cheer up, Cryde!”

As if the story of what kind of confrontation had already spread, the audience was cheering enthusiastically. Crydeman, of course.

“Cheer up, Archduke!”

uh? I thought my ears were wrong. Amidst the cheers of Cryde, I heard a small but female voice cheering me on.

I feel like I’m about to cry I don’t know who it is, but thank you very much.

“Princess, I am ready.”

Cryde held the sword in both hands and glared at me with burning eyes.

“Ah, then I’ll go.”

“yes!”

When I put my energy into the dagger and tried to throw it at him, I got a target on him, just like Volak.

It is also visible to humans. Not only the known parts such as the head, heart, and pith, but a lot of places were visible.

Could these be fatal blood vessels? I don’t intend to kill it, so I can’t throw it there.

Since there are three daggers, I decided to start lightly.

wow!

Just like the one I threw at Volach, I loaded only my inner energy and threw it in front of Cryde.

“Ha!”

Cryde screamed and quickly struck the training sword.

bang!

There was a loud sound that I didn’t think it was a training sword and a dagger colliding.

“Big.”

Cryde was pushed back a step by the force of the dagger, his arms trembling slightly.

“How on earth is this power!”

Cryde looked at me in disbelief, apparently quite surprised.

The Marquis went one step further and picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground and was staring at it. It seemed like he was trying to find out what kind of device the dagger had.

He put his strength into the dagger and spoke to Cryde, who was still dazed.

“Is your body relaxed?

“yes?”

wow ah

Just by putting my strength into the dagger, a weak wind was created around me.

Burr.

The dagger he was holding shook like crazy.

[Use direct.]

Sicheondangga – Let’s use the direct shooting skill in memorization. The dagger spun as if it could pierce space and flew towards Cryde.

Siang!

The sound of cracking air was heard in his ears.

Even though he’s a leading actor, he won’t die.

“aaa!”

Blue light emanated from Cryde’s body and sword. It seems that he sensed the power of the dagger and instinctively opened his aura.

Quaang!

Took.

Cryde’s training sword broke in half and landed on the gymnasium. His blue aura had already been extinguished by the power of the dagger, and blood was flowing from his grip.

“Ahh…”

Cryde was staring at the broken sword embedded in the floor.

“Yuren.”

The face of the Marquis, which had been playful until earlier, had become so serious that it was difficult to talk to him.

“I need to talk to you.”

“The bet is not over yet.”

“what are you talking about!”

“I still have one dagger left.”

“Yuren!”

My dagger broke his training sword, but it ended there. I couldn’t reach Cryde’s body.

“Cryde.”

“yes yes.”

Leaving the Marquis behind, I called for the devastated Cryde.

“Are you going to end it like this?”

“…”

“You must want to become a knight, but will the person who will become a knight accept such an ambiguous result?”

“no.”

“Whether it’s defeat or victory, it’s an honor to have a clear end.”

“ah!”

The Marquis, who had reached out to stop me, perhaps admiring my words, lowered his hand again and stepped back.

“May I bring the sword?”

“Of course.”

Cryde brought a new sword from the arsenal.

“I’m ready.”

After he finished speaking, a stronger light than before exploded from Cryde’s body.

A weak red color was circling in his eyes. Attribute Berserker seemed to be lending his strength to Cryde.

“Come!”

Clyde seemed to have finished his preparations, and had the face of a man who was prepared to die.

ugh

I didn’t say a word, and after injecting my strength into the dagger, I used the newly opened skill in Sichuan Tangga – Memorization.

[Uses a curved line.]

Bet with Marquis (3)

ugh

I could feel the spirit and confidence to throw as much as I could from Cryde’s body, and red flames were burning in his eyes.

It seemed that Berserker, a characteristic that had not yet been revealed, was lending some strength.

“Good.”

It is an opponent that is not lacking to test new skills.

I relaxed the last remaining dagger and threw it lightly.

Shuuk!

The third dagger flew slower and weaker than the dagger that was thrown with only internal energy.

‘Are you kidding me right now!’

‘What is this flimsy sword after talking about honor?’

‘I mean, do it properly!’

Cryde was asking me with his eyes.

Buaang!

He struck down the dagger flying at him with the destructive power of the Berserker. It felt like the air was splitting.

Shuang

But the dagger escaped his path as if it were alive.

Like a fluttering butterfly, like a falling leaf.

The dagger seemed to be caught, but without being caught, it dug into Cryde’s bosom.

“what!”

Cryde hurriedly swung his sword horizontally, but as if he knew the dagger, he dodged even that.

f*ck!

“Cuck!”

The dagger glided and hit Cryde’s chest with the handle before falling to the ground.

“Big.”

It felt like a dagger had hit his chest lightly, but Cryde was in quite a bit of pain. It felt like I was sitting on the ground, clutching my chest, unable to breathe.

He adjusted it, but it seemed that the inner energy contained in the dagger had given him a strong shock.

“Hey! Cryde what are you doing!”

“Are you looking at me as a young master?”

“Cryde! If you’re going to do that, get out!”

The audience, who were watching from afar, thought that Cryde had looked after me. In their eyes, it would have looked as if Cryde didn’t hit the rustling dagger on purpose.

“Yuren, what have you been learning?”

Unlike the audience, the Marquis, who was watching closely, grasped the exact situation. Seriousness descended on the face that continued to look playful today.

“I don’t think there’s anything to be said simply here.”

“Then when will you speak?”

“I’ll come right over tomorrow.

“Yes. You won the bet. Let’s all talk tomorrow.”

“yes.”

The Marquis, who expected to be soggy this time, immediately acknowledged it and left the gymnasium.

“Okay…”

I approached the still-suffering Cryde and absorbed the power that was causing him pain.

“Did the Archduke do something? The pain disappeared and something warm…”

I smiled silently.

“thank you.”

“no.”

“excuse me…”

Cryde hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.

“I’m sorry. At first, when the dagger flew slowly, I thought the Archduke was ignoring me. But it wasn’t at all.

I honestly don’t know how many compliments I get.

“There’s no way you could have learned such a skill in a month, so as expected, you’ve been hiding your skills until now.”

“huh?”

What is this guy talking about?

“Are some secret forces targeting the Marquis? Is that why you’ve been hiding your powers until now?”

“Yes?”

right. Hey, I liked conspiracy theories.

“Somehow, I thought it was strange that all the children of the Rox family were human middle dragons, but only the Archduke was left out. It was a great sacrifice!”

I was still making my own story by myself.

“And finally, you’ve become strong enough to face those forces, and you’ve revealed your skills.”

“ha…”

Listening to this guy, I suddenly got tired. Plus, suddenly pretending to be friendly like this, it felt weird.

no way.

[Activates Creator’s Eye.]

Just in case, I opened the Creator’s eyes again.

[Name: Cryde]

[Attribute: Berserker, Strength lv1]

[Likeability: 26 (Like) ]

Huh, in an instant, the affinity level rose to over 40. Look at the simple thing in case someone isn’t a Berserker.

After competing once, helping with the sick, and letting go of the misunderstanding, the likability went up.

“If you need me to fight the secret organization in the future, please call me as much as you want! I will fight to the death.”

Of course there are secret societies, but that doesn’t matter now.

Anyway, it was a good thing. Later, he became close with Berserker Creed, who single-handedly wiped out the Knights.

I didn’t say anything about the fact that he was mistaken because I thought that if I let him go, his likeability would continue to rise.

Cryde’s delusions continued until I returned to the mansion. He could still hear his voice behind him.

“I’ll spread the word! The Grand Duke wasn’t an idiot! Just trust me!”

“Thank you for your effort.”

“Ah, thank you.”

Arin didn’t say anything, but after entering my room, he opened his mouth.

“At the end it was the first time I saw it.”

“Oh, yes, it’s a new technology. How was it?”

Arin didn’t answer easily and closed his eyes for a moment to think.

“I saw it and thought of virtual sparring in my head.”
