If it is an ordinary person, in the face of this situation, seeing the ridicule, ridicule, and belittling eyes of everyone around him, he may not be able to bear the special treatment for a long time.
With Sato Kazuma's temperament, he will definitely spray back unceremoniously.
That man, even the royal family didn't have the slightest awe in front of him.
The female guard Claire on the stage thought so.
After all, he had spent two days with Sato and the truth, so he knew very well the temper of that vile man.
I really don't want to bear any grievances, and I will definitely find a chance to get revenge.
But looking at Zhou Fangwu's face, the female guard Claire is ready to excuse Sato Kazuma.
But what she never expected was that the man who couldn't bear to be wronged didn't do anything disrespectful, nor did he yell at himself.
Instead, he said very crisply and sincerely: "Yes, I'm really sorry that I didn't play a role on the battlefield."
"…Eh?"
The adventurer Dikel, who wanted to find fault, was speechless after hearing this sentence.
He really underestimated this man.
The people present, whether they were members of the knight order or senior adventurers, they were all bloody.
I can't say that I can't accept others looking down on me, but I will never allow others to belittle me, and even wantonly ridicule in front of so many people.
However.
He thought that Sato Kazuma would yell and jump up and down like a clown to call for grievances for himself, but he didn't expect this [ghost animal man] to admit his weakness so simply and neatly.
Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to expose Sato Kazuma, so as to win the favor of [Hero Zhou Fangwu] and the royal family, and at the same time express myself.
He even had a script in mind.
But I didn't expect it to be resolved so easily.
Although he achieved his goal of belittling Kazuma Sato, admitting and apologizing so bluntly did not highlight his role, let alone express himself.
no!
It can't just end like this!
As soon as Dikel rolled his eyes, he came up with a plan and said loudly on purpose: "Then if this is the case, please leave here!"
"What's the reason?"
"Huh? Reason?!"
Dicker felt amused when he heard Sato Kazuma's words. He looked down at the short man in front of him with disdain, and said the aspirations of everyone present.
"All of us, all of us here are people who have made contributions on the battlefield. Useless waste like you can't be compared with us at all!"
He was right.
In terms of merit alone, it is true.
Just take the rest of the squad.
Huihui and Yoyo's more than a dozen powerful [Explosion Magic] directly dispersed the entire Demon King's army, which was the first victory in this war;
Zhou Fangwu single-handedly charged into the toughest defensive place inside the Demon King's Army, and killed the commander of the Demon King's Army with one blow;
Darkness did not kill the enemy but carried countless magic spells for many knights and adventurers;
Not to mention Akuya, not to mention the healing of countless injured people, if it weren't for her presence, the people who might have died would never be able to be resurrected.
For this battle alone, [Hero] deserved his name.
Except for one person.
A waste material who did nothing on the battlefield and was beaten to death by a group of low-level monster kobolds at the beginning of the war.
— Sato Kazuma!
From this point of view, he is indeed not qualified to be here.
Even people with slightly inferior achievements have killed hundreds of monsters on the battlefield!
Because, the people here can be said to be the elite of the human race, the strongest group of people in the human race!
But now there is a person who has done nothing and has not contributed, but he will receive the reward with them.
In this case, how could they have no opinion?
"Really, do you think so? But I see it differently."
"Oh? Do you want to defend yourself? Well, I'll give you this chance. "
The adventurer Dickel was overjoyed.
He just wanted to have this kind of expansion.
The more Kazuma Sato justified himself, the more he was able to highlight his presence at the same time.
Next, as long as this [ghost animal boy] is left speechless, it is not impossible to ask to join the [hero] team at that time, right?
It is understandable that he has such fantasies.
The excellent performance of Zhou Fangwu and others on the battlefield has perfectly declared the strength of the [Hero], and at the same time, they have also gained the admiration and admiration of countless people.
In this case, if you join the [Hero] team.
That is not only to gain a lot of fame in an instant, but also a recognition of one's own strength.
Adventurer Dickel quietly looked around.
He saw that many people were moved, probably some smart people guessed his purpose at this time.
But unfortunately, you are one step behind me.
There is no chance!
He looked at the other members of the [Hero] team even more eagerly!
'I want to take this opportunity to be famous. '
Zhou Fangwu could guess it after a little thought.
Maybe he wanted to step on the members of the [Hero] team?
possible.
After all, the fastest way to become famous is to step on those celebrities who have been famous for a long time, not to mention the current [Hero] team is famous, and it is the most famous existence in the kingdom.
But that won't get you there.
"I have a very clear understanding of my own strength." [Sato Kazuma] looked at the crowd without concealing it, but admitted it openly, "Yes, I am weak, to be precise I was probably the weakest guy in the room."
This is not demeaning.
Judging by the real Sato and Makoto's strength, he may indeed be the weakest one among all the people present.
Even Princess Alice is better than him.
Do you really think that Her Royal Highness Princess of [the royal family that has always been combined with excellent people] is a weak chicken?
To say that Princess Alice is weak is only relatively speaking.
At least the current Her Royal Highness the Princess is much stronger than Kazuma Sato in terms of strength on paper alone.
Hearing that Sato Kazuma admitted that he was weak, the others did not speak, because they all knew clearly that this man would definitely have another sentence.
"Yes! I am weak, very weak."
[Sato Kazuma] Repeat again and make clear your own weakness.
But then he said aloud:
"But! I don't think it's wrong to be weak!
Even if I'm extremely weak, even if I can't destroy as many monsters as others! Even so, I still have a heart that wants to defend my home and country!
In order to prevent ordinary people from being poisoned by the Demon King's army, even if I am so weak and can only eliminate a dozen kobolds, I must resolutely choose to go to the battlefield! "
Change your mind in an instant!
From a shameless thief who wanted to share the victory with others at the beginning, he has now become a hero who wants to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy even if his strength is weak!
In just three sentences, everyone in the venue applauded for him.
clap clap clap -
There was thunderous applause.
What a great way to say it!
Indeed, as Sato Kazuma said.
When the Demon King's army invaded the capital, the broadcast clearly stated that high-level adventurers were required to participate in the battle, and did not force other adventurers to join in.
But even so.
At the moment of crisis in the kingdom, Sato Kazuma still came, even though his strength was weak, but he still came without hesitation.
Even if he didn't make any contribution, this determination deserves their respect.
At this moment, many people also whispered good things for Sato Kazuma.
"Yeah, I didn't expect him to think so. He deserves to be a member of the hero team."
"admirable."
"That's right. No matter who is weak, he becomes strong. Even if he is weak now, I think he will become strong in the future."
"That's right, what's wrong with the low-level adventurers? No other high-level adventurers have his determination, and I know there are several who didn't come!"
Zhou Fangwu's speech won everyone's favor.
Especially the knights.
Even the leader of the Knights who had disliked him before looked at him with a strange look, especially apologetic.
He looks down on weak people, but that's based on the fact that they only speak big words.
Even Sato Kazuma is a big talker, but it is much better than those who just talk but don't do it!
"You, you bastard..."
The adventurer Dicker did not expect that this [ghost man] with the worst reputation among adventurers would actually give such a passionate and passionate speech.
This is completely different from the information he got before!
In fact, his intelligence was correct.
It's just that by mistake, Sato Kazuma was Zhou Fangwu in his heart, and the crisis was resolved by chance.
However, Zhou Fangwu is not going to end it like this.
Just right.
At this time, he occupied Sato Kazuma's body.
Taking this opportunity, he wants to tell others that even the weakest one in the [Hero] team is not something others can offend!
Even if it is false, as long as it is done, others will have to admit it.
In just a few minutes, he had a plan.
【Sato Kazuma】Looking at some adventurer Dicker who couldn't get off the stage, he said, "Also, I don't quite agree with what this gentleman said just now."
"...What?" Adventurer Dickel froze for a moment.
[Sato Kazuma] said again:
"On the battlefield, it would be too inhumane to say that whoever wiped out the most demon king's army is the one who contributed the most.
Not only the knights and adventurers fighting on the battlefield, but also other people who support us behind the scenes, their contributions are absolutely indispensable. "
He spoke very earnestly and seriously.
Throughout history.
A war is not as simple as just fighting on the battlefield, there are still many things that need to be prepared and dispatched.
But his intention this time is not here.
The next sentence guided his purpose.
"You know, not everyone in this world is suitable for the battlefield, and some people have extraordinary talents in other areas."
"...Are you trying to say that you have other talents?!"
Adventurer Dicker almost laughed out loud.
Originally, he thought that he would end in failure by jumping out to find fault this time, but he didn't expect that the idiot [Sato Kazuma] would bring up this topic again now.
Not only him, even the others frowned subconsciously.
[Sato Kazuma] What you said just now has completely resolved this difficulty, but why did you deliberately bring it up again?
Although the others had doubts, they did not speak out, but chose to wait and see what happened.
"exactly."
[Sato Kazuma] did not deny it, he slowly said: "My ability is not outstanding on the battlefield, even much weaker than others, but if it is a one-on-one, 1V1, I have the confidence to win Most of the people present."
What he said was so ordinary, as if what he said was the truth.
Said such rampant words in a very flat tone.
"Hahaha—! Hey, hey, is it true?!"
Adventurer Dickel couldn't help laughing.
But the undisguised mockery and contempt in his laughter all showed that he didn't believe what [Sato Kazuma] said at all.
The guy who was beaten to death by a group of kobolds actually said that he could beat himself in a duel?
It's nonsense!
Sure enough, his essence is a guy who likes to talk big!
His judgment was not wrong!
"Ah, if it's you, I can beat you with one hand." [Sato Kazuma] said this again.
Madness!
Incomparably arrogant!
In fact, it can't be simply called arrogance, but also self-confidence.
But the difference between arrogance and self-confidence is whether there is a relationship between strength or not.
Having strength is self-confidence, not strength is arrogance!
And Sato Kazuma...sorry, the famous scenes on the battlefield are still vivid in my memory, they don't believe that Sato Kazuma is capable at all.
I had a little liking for him just now, and then I hated him all of a sudden.
"If you don't believe me, then try it." [Sato Kazuma] invited the man in front of him to a duel, "You and me, 1V1, let's see if I can beat you—with just one hand .”
"Ridiculous! It's up to you!"
Adventurer Dickel dismissed this.
He is an S-rank adventurer, the strongest part of the entire kingdom.
Although it is not in the forefront, at least it is famous.
With a guy like Kazuma Sato, even a member of the Hero Squad would never be able to defeat him head-on.
"Hey, let's talk about my occupation first. I'm an [adventurer], just the lowest [adventurer], and I'm a professional [thief]. Even so, don't you dare to fight me? "
"You bastard—"
Adventurers are a group of people driven by passion.
Once being looked down upon or belittled by others, he will definitely get angry to the point of madness.
[Sato Kazuma] Naturally, this kind of provocation succeeded easily.
"Okay, since you're looking for death, then I'll tell you How big is the gap between you and me!"
"No, no, I should tell you how big the gap is between you and me."
[Sato Kazuma]'s words made him even more angry.
Looking at the stage, the female guard Claire and Princess Alice did not stop the farce that happened just now.
And now, it's their turn.
"His Royal Highness, just to add to the fun before the meal, can you agree to the duel between me and this adventurer?"
"...I agreed, but no matter which one of you wins, your contribution to the battlefield will be irreversible. Similarly, the rewards will never be lost. ——That's what Her Royal Highness said."
The female guard, Claire, conveyed the words of Her Highness the Princess.
"Well, let's get started."
[Sato Kazuma]'s smile became very nasty.
