Chapter 85

3 seconds

Reeshich thought that three seconds would be enough to knock Ian out.

Look at that pathetic parasite.

A punch to the jaw, one to the throat, and one to that ugly forehead.

With that thought, he adjusted his posture.

A magician, huh.

Reeshich had already grasped some information about Ian being a mage. It didnt make sense why a mage would wield a sword, but perhaps it was just a deception.

Reeshich scrutinized Ians mouth and feet closely.

His mouth for casting spells, the feet for movement.

Just approaching before he could cast a spell would be enough to win.

Well, even if he casts a spell

Snick.

Just then, as Reeshich was about to adjust his posture, Ian disappeared before his eyes.

Faaah!

Ian disappeared before his eyes.

?!

What?

There was definitely no movement of the legs?

As Reeshich turned his head in confusion.

Grin

It caught Reeshichs eye.

Ian, with a smirk on his face as devilish as ever.

And at the same time, his wooden silvery sword gleaming as it swung down.

Reeshich felt a sense of unease.

No. Wait. Why is the wooden sword silver?

And how can a mage wield a sword so fast?

Can he block this?

Such thoughts didnt last long.

Pueeeeek!

Onlookers briefly doubted their own ears. Does a clash of a sword against an iron helmet make such a sound?

Anyway, one thing was certain.

The center of the helmet dented.

Fwushushushushu!

Blood spurted from Reeshichs nostrils.

Geh-hack!

With a strange groan, Reeshichs eyes, gathered in the center, suddenly stiffened and then he collapsed.

Thud!

A heavy collision echoed through the ground.

Next to Herman Pierce.

Count Limmkshs eyes trembled.

Did I see something wrong?

Literally, it happened in the blink of an eye.

He blinked once and when he opened his eyes, the knight of the family, Reeshich, was being crushed by Ians blow.

The sight of his helmet collapsing and protruding on both sides was chilling.

Its a win for Ian Blackangers!

The referee shouted.

Servants rushed to move the fallen Reeshich.

They would probably get healing immediately, but

That useless fool!

Suddenly, flames erupted.

Herman Pierce had just declared confidently that he would defeat Ian. What kind of disgrace was this, with the most skilled knight of the family?

Well, if its Vance and Hannelsichi, theyll somehow manage to win.

Count Limmksh was just an ordinary person without any expertise in fighting or combat. He couldnt objectively assess Ians strength.

The author must have used some cunning trick.

He attacked straight away without even a greeting. It means hes a dishonorable scoundrel.

Hes just blinded by victory, tsk tsk.

As the surrounding nobles checked Count Limmkshs expression and tried to appease him.

Herman Pierce, sitting on a throne, blinked silently.

Anyway, since this [Leap] was going to be used as a basic form of movement, he judged that gaining practical experience in combat would be better.

Moreover, by showing it now, he could complicate the thoughts of mid-boss Herman Pierce.

No. He was a suspicious guy, so he would definitely do that.

Yeah. I weakened it a bit.

Nyah, weakened? That was incredible.

Suddenly, Daniya put on a serious expression.

I want to try too.

Shasha!

Suddenly, she moved sideways like a crab.

Pff!

Why are you laughing?

Hahaha! Did I move like that?

Ugh!

Blushing furiously, Daniya inflated her cheeks with air.

Anyway, you were amazing, you idiot!

After sticking him with a poke, she huffed and left.

No, it seemed like she floated away.

Why are you coming back?

Hmph!

Then she placed something on Ians head, grumbling, before returning to the spectators seats.

It was a magical item with healing effects, called Snowflake Flower.

The second match was easily handled, with just a sword and enhanced body strength being sufficient to deal with the opponent.

The result was a simple victory.

Then came the official tournament rounds.

I will avenge Reeshich, the youngest of our three brothers!

Coincidentally, he encountered another one of the remaining villain knights.

At this rate, would he end up meeting all the villain knights and ultimately face the low kick knight in the semi-finals?

Anyway.

Ian responded seriously.

Oh Did the youngest one die?

Hes not dead!

But why are you calling me an enemy? Anyway, its a relief that you can take that blow and be okay.

Well, they say hell just need about a month to recover But whats fortunate about it? Its not fortunate at all! Werent you the one who did that?

Well, in a tournament, you can get hurt, right? And besides, wearing heavy armor to fight with a wooden sword in the first place makes it harder, you know.

What?

Anyway, for a month it will be two brothers instead of three.

You!

His tone was so self-righteous.

Ian deliberately teased him.

Originally, the goal wasnt to punish these guys but to perform well in the tournament and appeal to Yerina.

If there was an easy way to win, then it was better to take it.

Reeshich is our brother even if something goes wrong

While he kept blabbering, Ian gradually closed the distance.

Even though he seemed to be wary of the sword flying from the side.

Pah!

Ian dove straight into the center of the guy.

You, b*stard!

As the guy raised his sword above his head to block the impending blow.

Huh?

Bwaaaaack!

Ians reinforced fist struck him squarely on the jaw.

Whirl!

He spun around like a cartoon character and crashed to the ground.

Ohhhhh!

The match is over with just one hit!

Ian! Ian!

Cheers filled the training ground.

The number of people calling out his name instead of referring to him as the princesss man began to increase.
