Chapter 32 - Villager of the Magic Academy Part 5

“That’s ri-!”

The big carriage was sent flying for a full meter.

And the meatball was sent flying for two meters before the momentum was lost and he stopped.

“Hiyaah! Hiyaah! Hiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!”

The position in which one sleeps.

The great nobleman who raised his upper body, had his forehead swollen and purpled due to my blow.

Most likely, his skull was also cracked.

“Y, y, you! To me! Me! To a great nobleman! What! What are you doing!”

While scratching my cheeks, I said.

“I hit you. That’s all.”

Forgetting the pain, the great nobleman made a blank expression.

“You hit me, even if I get it opened and healed…”

Before I noticed it, I was surrounded by the knights and underlings guarding the procession.

Their numbers were around 50.

“-War Saint activate”

For an instant, I used a force that shouldn’t exist in this world.

At the same time I said those words, the horses seemed to understand the situation.

As proof, with a quiet neigh of fear, ignoring the orders of the knights who were still mounted, the horses scattered in all directions.

“Hey, Knights! Wh-where are you going! You can’t even control a horse!”

Frankly, that was an unreasonable request.

If I was one of the horses, I’d definitely run, after all.

Then, a dark skinned macho man arrived before the great nobleman, seemingly protecting him.

Thereupon, the great nobleman put on an expression of relief.

“Fufu~! I almost got tired of waiting for you, the strongest martial artist, a B-rank fighter, and ranked highly in the rankings, the high level adventurer: Merassa! Capture this violent man immediately!”

The macho nodded at the great nobleman’s explanation.

“…”

And then turned to me and silently took his stance.

“From the stance, kickboxing. No, is it closer to Muay Thai? Well, since you’ve taken your stance, it’s fine if I start, right?”

Hearing my words, the one to answer was not the macho man, but the great nobleman.

“Kickboxing? Muay Thai? What is all that…?”

“You won’t even understand the premise, so I won’t explain.”

“Fufu… Well, that’s fine. Do you know this guy’s nickname?”

“Nickname?”

Smiling, the great nobleman said.

“People call him, the absolute territory of fresh blood.”

“…?”

“The distance he can reach with his hands and legs, about two meters around his body, is called his absolute territory.”

“In other words, as soon as I enter that region…?”

Nodding, the great nobleman said.

“Everything is covered in blood.”

“I see, a master of counterattacks, so it’s wherever his hands and feet can reach, right?”

For a while now, Messara and I were closing in on the distance between us.

And now, the distance between us was about 10 meters.

I laughed invincibly, and putting my knee to the ground, took the position for a crouching start.

With that, the expressionless Meressa started smiling.

Then, the great nobleman’s laugh echoed throughout the region.

“Fuahwa? Coming at Meressa right from the front? It seems like you don’t know of the fear of martial artists. Well then, the moment you reach his absolute territory, you’ll face the exceptional counter, you know?”

The great nobleman laughed and sent a glance to Meressa, and Meressa also smiled and nodded.

Apparently, my actions were taken to be reckless.

And, I raised my head in surprise.

No, in reality I am surprised.

So that’s it. As expected of a B-rank adventurer, he was truly weak.

“I don’t know about the difference in my ability and his, but you’re twenty years too early to try and counter me.”

As I talked to myself, I started with a dash.

I’ll hold myself back and not break through the sound barrier. In other words, I won’t use my other body reinforcement techniques.

I closed the distance in an instant, and easily let out a sigh.

“Heh…”

I take it back.

B-rank is not something I can ignore that easily.

Even though I didn’t use Body Strengthening, my speed was around the same level as a Bullet train.

This guy responded as predicted.

And so, Meressa’s right strike raced towards me.

If I followed the movement, it’d probably hit me square in the face.

“However, most unfortunately.”

Just before it hit me, I moved thirty degrees towards the right.

I took a > shaped trajectory.

And then I passed by Meressa, and stood behind him.

“Alright, then!”

While letting out a loud voice, I jumped up and gave a spinning kick.

*Thwack*

The blow with adjusted strength, cleanly hit the back of his head, and Meressa’s eyes turned white as he lost consciousness on the spot.

Along with a heavy thud sound, he fell to the ground.

A moment of silence.

The great nobleman who couldn’t seem to understand the situation, stayed silent for ten seconds, before finally understanding the situation and letting out his voice.

“Awa… Awawa…”

I turned to the scared great nobleman and winked at him.

“So what will you do?”

“Fa… Fa…”

With a big smile, well, with a boundlessly huge smile, I approached the great nobleman.

The great nobleman loosened his hips and started trembling on the spot.

Then, I heard an unsettling sound.

A stain spread across the ground.

Even so, I didn’t break my smile in front of the pale-faced great nobleman.

“So, you see, this person might have a sex slave’s mark on her…”

I pointed to Lilith, and sighed.

Hearing my words, the great nobleman mustered his strength while trembling and said.

“Hiyaah… Hiyaah…”

“However, she’s not an object. Rather, she’s one of the few people I treasure in this world. I can bear with insults, but sexual outrages. Regardless of whether others allow it, I won’t.”

I take out my right hand, and push it to the tip of the nobleman’s nose.

“Don’t touch her again, you pig!”

Finger flick.

However, that speed wasn’t normal.

A squeaky sound permeated through the air.

At the same time, his nasal bones were crushed.

His nose bled like a muddy river.

“Abyaa~… Abyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!”

Disregarding that awful screaming I couldn’t bear to hear, I stood up.

And pulling Lilith along by her hand, I walk down the road.

The great nobleman’s soldiers, the infantrymen block my path.

Their number exceeds 100.

Among them, the two unlucky ones directly in path, I took care of them with finger flicks to their chins.

Think of it as a world-class boxer landing a clean hit on their chins.

I released the light attacks at an unmatchable speed, the two soldiers who had their brains shaken up, fell to the ground like puppets with their strings cut off.

Right now, the feeling running through the conscious soldiers was hair-raising fear.

“—Move it.”

My words fell like a holy tomb, and in front of me, a path was opened just like Moses splitting the red sea.

“Y-y-you, what are you?”

From behind me, I heard the nasal voice of the nobleman who had had too much of a nosebleed.

“Hmm? Me?”

And, while looking back I said.

“I’m the world’s strongest villager.”
