62 – Scene 062# Love and Hate

“Huh!”
It was Blanche who blocked Wendy’s small fist.
“Don’t be afraid. Even if Miss Wendy hits me with all her might, I don’t get hurt.”
“Nyeet!”
Wendy gives a strong answer.
The place where they are is the dojang prepared on the grounds of the Ruelberta Mansion.
The place where Wendy and Blanche took martial arts classes was quite large for two people to use.
The fact that such a facility could be placed on a large mansion site made one realize how enormous Ruelberta’s wealth was.
Blanche, who was blocking Wendy’s fists one by one, opened her mouth.
“Your fists are quite hot. It seems that the results of building up my stamina are coming out.”
“I-Really?”
“Yes. It’s still too early to deal with brown bears.”
“Yes…… Yes??”
“Don’t worry. If you follow my map carefully, Miss Wendy should be able to defeat a red bear with ease.”
“Eh!? I-I have to fight that red bear?!?”
Back in her hometown, Wendy had also heard of the notoriety of red bears.
A ferocious demon who lives in the deep forest.
It is said to be 3-5 m tall and weigh more than 500 kg.
Even among the villagers, there were even people who went into the woods and were eaten by a red bear, making them unwelcome guests.
But do you mean to deal with such a monster?
Blanche nodded at Wendy, who looked pale.
“He’s big, but he’s an opponent worth fighting at least once. It will definitely be a good experience for Miss Wendy.”
“I, it is impossible to deal with such a monster with my own power… !”
“Fighting is not about force.”
“If you get bitten, you will die…” !”
“If you get bitten lightly, you won’t die.”
“Nyeet?!”
Blanche said while holding Wendy’s shoulders gently.
“As expected, Miss Wendy is too timid. Even if you face a red bear, you can survive if you are not afraid.”
“Bo, isn’t it normal to be scared… ?”
“Ms. Wendy is underestimating her abilities too much.”
“Ugh… . I would hate to be underestimated in front of such a monster… .”
“Whoops… .”
“… ?”

Due to the huge height difference between the two, Wendy had to look up at Blanche.
I could see Blanche, who had always maintained a blunt attitude, desperately holding back a laugh.
But after a while, Blanche returned to her usual expression.
“… Sorry. I couldn’t help but look ugly… .”
“Master Blanche, why aren’t you smiling… ?”
“Yes… ?”
When Blanche tilted her head, Wendy responded hurriedly.
“Ah… ! That, that’s it… . Yes, Master is pretty. Ooh, I think you look prettier when you smile… . It’s just my opinion anyway… .”
“… i’m pretty… Do you?”
“Yeah! I haven’t heard anything like that… ?”
“Um… . I’m sure Lady Bella said that too… .”
Blanche put her hand to her face.
weird looks… thought it was not
Bella always told Blanche that her pretty looks were a waste, but she knew that those words only stemmed from her good heart.
On days when they went out with Bella, there were many people who glanced at them.
And in many cases, it was directed at Bella, and most of them were in a hurry to look away as soon as they met Blanche’s eyes.
As those experiences piled up one by one, Blanche thought.
He probably avoided seeing her face.
“Ms. Wendy is… so kind.”
“Yeah… ?”
Blanche smiled softly and stroked Wendy’s hair.
“Thank you for your words… .”
Blanche was not as pretty as Bella.
She wasn’t as cute as Wendy.
Aegyo and charm were things that Blanche did not have.
If I had to pick one thing I was more confident than Bella or Wendy, it would be my body with excellent motor skills.
Her trained body boasted a balanced beauty without any superfluities like a statue.
It was also the only pride for Blanche.
And there was one man who recognized the value of her body.
-You are worthy of one body, so pay back with your body.
Thinking back then, Blanche couldn’t stand it because her stomach was itching for no reason.
In the end, it was a misunderstanding, but after hearing the Count’s words and thinking of vulgar things, she felt like going into a mouse hole.
‘Kuh… . He’s like an unscrupulous man… .’
Blanche was prepared to endure any insult.
He was confident that he would not be broken even if he received all sorts of humiliation from the Count.
And she even thought of repaying the man for the disgrace she had received.
But Tristan didn’t.
He didn’t play dirty tricks, he didn’t even avenge the deep wounds she had caused.
That was never the case.
Blanche naturally had no choice but to come up with one possibility.
‘perhaps… . If Tristan really changed… ?’
I don’t know what the trigger was.
However, the atmosphere around him had changed recently.
Bella, served by Blanche, has changed to the point where she goes to school to meet Tristan, whom Blanche hates so much.
And the girl in front of me also became more talkative and even made a lovely expression compared to when I first saw him.
Even the oblivious Blanche could tell.
That wasn’t the face of a person who serves trashy men.
It was a face that realized happiness.
And isn’t this all because Tristan has changed?
The thought crossed her mind, but Blanche shook her head.
The opponent is Tristan Ruelberta, who is considered a genius of evil.
In addition, Tristan killed Blanche once.

Didn’t I make a promise while sinking in the cold sea after being shot?
I will never forgive Tristan.
I will definitely kill him with her hands.
But… . Blanche knew that whenever she met Tristan, her heart was shaken.
Blanche could only sigh inwardly.
If he was as unscrupulous as she thought… .
If that was the case, I wouldn’t have been able to fully forgive that man… .
Then, Wendy’s cautious voice was heard.
“Master… ? be all right… ?”
“ah… . Sorry. My head hurts for a while.”
“Then oh, why don’t we stop here for today… ? I think you’d better go in early and rest… .”
Wendy asked anxiously.
As if to reassure her, Blanche patted her cheek with both palms to cheer her up.

Doing so seemed to bring me back to my senses.
“I am fine. We still have time, so let’s sparring.”
“Hick?! Great, Dalian… ?”
Wendy asked, trembling with fear, if she had recalled bad memories.
Blanche scratched her head and apologized.
“Ah, I’m sorry I couldn’t control my strength last time… . Don’t worry, I’ll definitely control my strength today.”
“Whoa… . Master Blanche is too strong… .”
“Ms. Wendy can become like me if she works hard.”
“swarm… . It’s a crowd… . Master is no longer at the human level… .”
Ignoring Wendy’s crying voice, Blanche warmed up.
“Attack me with everything you have learned so far.”
“Yeah… .”
“Don’t think halfway attacks will work. Attack as if you were dealing with a red bear.”
“Boo, the red bear? That, but… .”
“Don’t worry. Miss Wendy.”
Blanche’s eyes flashed as she took a stance.
“I’m much stronger than Red Bear.”

While Wendy is training with Blanche.
I was also doing intense training in the study.
“Whoa… .”
In a library full of books, you might want to do some kind of training, but this training could be done with just books.
“Whoa… .”
I was squatting with a book in my hand.
However, these were not ordinary books.
Not long ago, I decided to apply magic to change the trajectory of bullets a bit more.
Using the magic of the moon, I absorbed the mana around me and infused it into the book.
And, like changing the trajectory of a bullet, all the directions of the books were directed toward the ground.
Then the books suddenly became heavy.
“Whoa… .”
It was as if gravity had multiplied.
I used the books as dumbbells and squatted.
The more I let go of my mana, the heavier the books became, and my hands supporting them trembled.
My body was soon wet with sweat.
The floor was wet with sweat, but I didn’t care.
After the squat, I exercised by making dumbbells or barbells out of books through magic manipulation.
In fact, controlling mana with moon magic was much more tiring than exercising.
It was so hard that I couldn’t do it with my mind to exercise by making weights while holding books like dumbbells.
But I did it over and over again.
Even when the limit came, I tried not to use ‘patience’ if possible.
In order to become truly strong, I had to swallow my limitations rather than ‘endure’ them.
I repeated lifting and dropping the books as I swallowed and swallowed the limit.
After repeating this to some extent and getting numb in my arms, I put down the book in my hand to take a break.
“Whoa… … Well?”
I sighed and looked out the window and found something.
Horsemen from afar were approaching the mansion.
As they got closer I could see the flag the leader was holding.
There was a familiar gray lion pattern drawn on it.
finally… . do you meet
I hurriedly prepared to leave, wiping my sweat with a towel.
smart!
Then, with an urgent knocking sound, the attendant told me what I already knew.
“Count. Those who were dispatched have returned.”
