"Then, let the mock battle begin! Thank each other!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even though this is a mock battle, it is the first battle in which I have not used my skills.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I feel my mouth strangely dry, perhaps from nervousness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My opponent is Mr. Karl, a young and promising young man of the Knights.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have no idea how he will fight, since I have never seen him before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Incidentally, my brother-in-law has forbidden me from using [Appraisal/Zen].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Therefore, you have to judge and fight only by the information you see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Karl uses a spear, a long spear in his right hand and a short spear in his left.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder if he has the skill of ......[two swords].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But the use of skills is forbidden in this battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is not only me, but also Karl, so it should not be a skill. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Regardless of my confusion, the Knight Commander gives the signal to start the battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Let the battle begin!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With a shout, Mr. Karl slowly closes the distance between us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mine, you seem to be at a loss, don't you? The battle has already begun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......Yes, indeed it is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There is no time to be confused.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you let your guard down, you will get hurt just like the caterpillar we fought before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Besides, I'm going to have a family now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't let this carelessness cause me to leave my family behind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I hold a dagger in each hand and face Mr. Karl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even if I don't use my skill, the feeling of using my skill is still in my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So, this two swords style is not a fake.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... perhaps that is what Mr. Karl is saying.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......I see, your posture ...... is beautifully done.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You mean you didn't copy my stance by any means?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With this remark, Mr. Karl started to charge forward with his long spear outstretched.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That was fast!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... but compared to your brother-in-law's step that I saw before!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

At this point, I anticipate Mr. Karl's movement and avoid him by stepping backward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then, step into the pocket and strike a blow!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In an instant, I make that decision and jump backward until the spear is just out of reach.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes! I dodged it!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A moment after I thought so and was about to jump in for a counterattack, the spear that I was supposed to have avoided reached out and ...... me!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Understanding the situation, I panicked and took evasive action, but ...... it was already too late. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The moment I tried to counterattack, Carl's long spear hit me in the side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Gah!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even though it was a wooden long spear, its power was immense.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I stagger and fall down involuntarily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If ...... this was serious, I would have died.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What the hell happened?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm pretty sure I dodged Carl's blow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

！！！！！

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was not in a good mood to think, Mr. Karl came charging in to stop me as I fell down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... This time, he swung his short spear at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"d*mn! I won't let you do it!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He endured the intense pain in his side and stacked the daggers in both hands in a cross formation to catch the blow of the spear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He then throws the dagger in his right hand toward Mr. Karl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He was probably not expecting to let go of his weapon, and he evades with a surprised expression on his face. ......, but his movement is larger because of his surprise, and a momentary gap is created.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't miss this opportunity!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I threw the dagger out of my right hand, clenched it tightly, and swung it with all my might at Mr. Karl's dove tail.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess he didn't expect me to hit him with my fist instead of using my remaining dagger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My fist hit Mr. Karl's dove tail with no miss.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is not the first time today that he has attacked me with his fist, even if he did not use his skill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He was a little unsteady, but I think I was able to do enough damage to make him look like a fool.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ggh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Karl's body bends over.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We need to get as far away from him as possible while we still can, and recover any damage ......!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Carl must have thought the same thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Like me, he steps back and away from me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"d*mn, I didn't expect them to throw down their weapons and come at us. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, we managed to get away with our devious plan, but the situation is definitely not favorable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't think we have a chance to win if we don't find out the identity of Mr. Karl's first blow, that elongated spear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What the hell was that?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm pretty sure I avoided it. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Did I mis-measure the distance by any chance?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... No, it's not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was just in time, but I surely avoided it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But then the tip of the spear extended.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... Okay, let's give it a try.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I put the dagger in my left hand at my waist, and become empty-handed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then I relaxed my body and assumed a natural posture.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Karl sees me and frowns for a moment, but soon his expression returns to normal and he starts to talk to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It doesn't look like you've given up ...... on the game, does it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, well, well, what do you think?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't worry, I'm just shaking things up so you can read my thoughts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

All I have to do now is to do my best to evade and learn the secret of Mr. Karl's attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have to anticipate his actions based on his breathing, muscle movements ...... and other things I've learned in training.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe because he doesn't understand the meaning of my actions, he is listening to me carefully.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He doesn't seem to jump in unintentionally.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Okay, so .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......What's going on? Mr. Karl, are you afraid of an unarmed me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I tried an ill-fitting provocation, but what do you think?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Blatant provocation. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I know that, but okay. I'll give you a ride!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hahaha ...... seems obvious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But it seems to have worked out in the end!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He smiled and began to lunge at me furiously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know what you're thinking, but let's end this!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Karl chose the same long spear strike as the first one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes! That's exactly what I've been waiting for.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A spear strike coming at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah, so far it's a perfectly normal attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There's nothing special about it. What is it? Something doesn't feel right about the muscles in your shoulder .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh? What is this strange discomfort, and not just in the shoulders?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This attack, unlike the last one, is not a counterattack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Instead of avoiding the attack at the very last moment, he takes a large back step.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then, while avoiding the spear, I concentrate on Mr. Karl's right shoulder, which I felt a strong discomfort.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then, Mr. Karl folds his shoulder joint inward and pushes it forward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He also takes a step forward with his right foot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So, this is what I felt the discomfort in the previous section.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He has been stepping forward with his left and right axis feet reversed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

By advancing your left and right axis foot one step and folding your shoulders inward, the spear is pushed forward and appears to be extended to your opponent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see, this is indeed a "technique.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Because I had been concentrating on evasion, I was able to avoid the attack perfectly this time with a little time to spare.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I glanced at Mr. Karl, he looked quite frustrated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It must have been a confidence shot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In fact, this attack had brought him one step closer to losing the game.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But once we figure out the trick, it's ours!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's start the counterattack from here!
