Celise jumped over the wall.
At this news, Leo jumped up from his seat.
“Really?”
“Yes! It seemed that he had suddenly attained enlightenment.”
Duke Lyant nodded vigorously.
“Let’s go!”
Duke Ryant looks like a big and aggressive knight on the outside, but he knows the dignity and manners of a high-ranking aristocrat.
It was to the extent that he burst into the prince’s room at such a late hour, enough to know how excited he was.
“Yes! Yes!”
Leo also put on a robe and left the room to share Selize’s historic moment.
However, it didn’t go as fast as I thought.
The Duke of Lyant seemed to be frustrated, so he asked him.
“Go quickly! One hour is urgent, low!”
“I can’t run fast.”
“… … ?”
why do you see it like that
How can your body do something like this?
However, if you use mana to speed up this late at night, the wizards and knights of the castle who have been sleeping soundly will wake up in surprise.
“This is top speed.”
“… … .”
Leo shrugged.
* * *
‘Ahh.’
Celise felt like the world was brightening up.
When we were facing each other, the Master’s wall was at a loss as to how the heck to get over it.
However, looking back now, I wondered why I had such a hard time.
The way the sword should go. Where my mana went was naturally expressed through action.
– Ugh!
A clear blue light appeared on Celise’s blade.
sword steel.
It is a state that swordsmen cannot help but wish for, and the crystallization of destructive power.
Its power was such that it could cut through anything it touched, and even if it was a mage, there was no way other than avoiding it if it came close to melee.
Celise looked away.
-thud! thud!
The ice golems Leo created were looking at her with blizzard greatswords in their hands.
They’re in auto-battle mode, so they move even without Leo.
Celise has been beaten non-stop by these guys over the past few months.
It was impossible to break through the 12 ice golems with the best level of expert skills.
Bruised and treated with potions, then bruised and cured again.
The feeling of throbbing in every bone did not go away, but for now, they seemed to be easygoing.
– Sabak
Celise took a step.
He very lightly dug into the invisible space between the golems that filled the gymnasium.
-Suddenly!
– Suck!
The sword swung gently, and the golem’s legs and torso were sliced off.
There was hardly any cutting sound.
It was very hard because Leo had given it a separate magic, but Selize’s sword steel cut it like tofu.
-thud! thud!
The time it took for her to kill the 12 golems was fleeting.
“Whoa.”
I breathed in the cold air that they spewed out.
Celise gave a soft sword.
It was then that Leo and Duke Lyant arrived.
“Selise… .”
“Lowering?”
Celise’s eyes widened.
Leo clapped involuntarily.
“You did it!”
Selise stands between her own broken golems and them.
Blonde hair blends with the dreamy atmosphere and makes you feel like a goddess.
Celise laughed softly.
“Thanks to you for helping me a lot.”
“What. All your hard work paid off.”
After returning to the palace, several months flew by.
Leo, who had spent most of that time with Celise, knew how hard she was going through.
He hardly slept and was covered with scars every day.
Even so, he did not give up and clung to it tenaciously.
‘Honestly, I couldn’t have done that either.’
I was proud
“great job. Is there anything you want to do now? Or whatever you want to eat. just talk I will listen to you as well as congratulate you.”
Leo patted Celise on the shoulder and said.
To be honest, I thought I would listen to her even if she asked for a very expensive elixir.
That’s why today’s achievement was worth celebrating.
“then… .”
She looked at Leo for a moment, then opened her mouth.
“I want to have a formal sparring with my father.”
“… With Viscount Heindere?”
“Yes.”
She nodded her head with narrow eyes.
“Now that I have risen to the level of a master, it is time to decide with him.”
* * *
Sellies was not on good terms with her family, Viscount Heindere.
If she had held a sword even once when she was young, she would never have entered the palace as a maid.
Her talent was an awl in her pocket.
If given a chance even once, he would tear open his pockets and come out right away.
‘But I didn’t have that one chance.’
The Heindere family had a strong preference for remaining from the past.
In addition, the current family head was a person with such thoughts deeply engraved in his bones.
When Leo and Selize went to Rome Kingdom Academy together before, her father. I had met Viscount Heindere.
He was a man who looked like a human made of swords.
Even when I saw my real daughter, the coldness dripped down.
“A duel between Sir Selisse and Viscount Heindere… . I had no idea that such a big event would happen so suddenly.”
Drexla murmured.
Leo kicked and laughed and patted him on the side.
“Hey Lord Drexla. You were the first one to hold the sword to Sellise. But now the skill is reversed? How do you feel?”
“… Lowering. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. Why are you doing this to me?”
Drexla said in a timid tone.
“Oh, dear. Did I do too much?”
“no. To be honest, I also thought that a day like this would come one day, so I don’t feel very jealous.”
Drexla turned her gaze to the center of the gymnasium.
The place where they were was the 1st official gymnasium of the Royal Castle of Rome.
A gymnasium with stones laid flat and a place in the form of a place where spectators can watch around it.
Today was the day of the duel between Celise and Viscount Heindere.
Drexla smiled lightly.
“I expected that she would rise to the level of Master sooner than I did. I never thought it would be this fast.”
“what… Her talent is amazing.”
“Yes. I’m honestly proud. The first time I gave a sword to a girl who didn’t know anything, but suddenly she became a master. Wasn’t half of it raised by me?”
“what? hahahaha.”
Leo patted Drexla on the back.
“His personality is good. Don’t worry too much. It wouldn’t have been too far.”
“Yes. Of course, I will try harder and not fall behind her.”
Drexla clenched her fists.
“By the way, a lot of people came.”
“So what. It’s a rare event.”
The stadium’s spectators were full of people who came to watch the duel.
Most of them were nobles and knights.
All of them were looking at the center of the gymnasium with curious eyes.
That was natural.
“Where can I go to see a duel between sword masters? is not it?”
“That’s true, too, because it’s a duel that you officially held under your name.”
Today’s duel was held by Leo putting his name on it.
No matter how master he was, an ordinary knight could not easily challenge a nobleman like Viscount Heindere to a duel.
Wasn’t he even a great knight?
It was not only against etiquette, but rather insulting.
Even if it was a father-daughter relationship, it was the same.
So Leo actively used his power to grant her wish.
If the duel was held in the name of the prince, even if it was Viscount Heidere, he would not be able to ignore it.
Even Leo was just a prince.
Called the next-generation great wizard, he was building a reputation.
His request could not be ignored, so Viscount Heindere canceled all other plans and accepted the duel.
the center of the gymnasium.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Sellies and Viscount Heindere glared at each other.
As if proving that they were father-daughter, the color of their flowing blonde hair was similar.
It was Celise who spoke first.
“father. I have reached the level of Master.”
“… It seems so.”
Viscount Heindere only nodded his head slightly as if he was uncomfortable.
“I heard that Dave is still at the beginner level of expert.”
“… Don’t insult your brother.”
“Then father, don’t insult me either.”
Celise clenched her fists.
“My father should have given me a chance. It’s not just for my brother.”
“From generation to generation, only boys have held swords in our family.”
“Do you still not see that the tradition of not giving even the slightest chance is wrong?”
Viscount Heindere shook his head.
“We have very different ideas.”
“I think so, too.”
“Being a knight, you don’t have to talk about it.”
-Sereung
Viscount Heidere’s sword was drawn first.
Along with the flowing water, the air sank heavily.
master. And the momentum exuded by someone who had risen to master a long time ago was definitely different.
Celise looked at him quietly.
“My father told me before. The tradition of Viscount Heindere is that the strongest person becomes the head of the family, and the words of the head of the family are the law of the family.”
“Yes it was.”
-Seureung
Selize also drew out her sword in response.
– Ugh!
A blue river gushed from the blade of her sword.
The people who were watching around me whispered.
“Oh oh… . Have you really reached the level of a master?”
“Huh. How old are you… Besides, I heard that it hasn’t been a few years since I’ve held a sword.”
It’s only been 3 days since Celise reached the level of Master.
However, most of the nobles here have already heard the news.
I didn’t believe it at first.
She was rumored to be a genius knight of knowledge, but how could being a master be so easy to talk about?
But seeing it with my own eyes made me believe it.
Amidst the commotion around them, Celise said.
“I will take the position of the head of household.”
“Try it if you can.”
– Ugh!
Viscount Heindere’s sword also had the same sword steel.
The two stepped out at the same time.
The two of them, moving fast enough to create afterimages, collided in the middle of the arena.
– Kwaaang!
