Episode 71: Serious and Hardworking at Heart

“All right. I’m the strongest here. If you wish, I’ll entertain you. I don’t care for starting signals, so feel free to attack whenever you want.”

“You’re kidding me, you amateur! Getting cocky just because you’re a woman!”

Seeing this self-proclaimed dojo raider, I think to myself, “I’ve come across something interesting.”

It’s regrettable for him, but he’s just the right opponent for me to vent my frustrations.

Moreover, I won’t tolerate anyone looking down on me just because I’m a woman.

“I’ll make you regret mocking me!”

With that, he draws a short sword from his waist and charges at me, and I meet his attack with a wooden sword.

“Hmm, your skill and approach with the sword are surprisingly straightforward and solid, contrary to your words… It’s clear you’ve put in dedicated training. So, is your attitude intentionally misleading?”

“Shut up! There’s no way that’s true! I just want to crush idiots who think they’re strong!”

“Yet your swordplay is too straightforward. Indeed, compared to most dojo instructors, I think you’re stronger, but that’s about it.”

“Arghhh!”

His movements are textbook-perfect, faithful to the basics. He must be fundamentally serious and hardworking.

To conceal that, he deliberately acts in such a way, distracting his opponent and taking advantage of their confusion to win. That must be his strategy.

Therefore, because his swordplay is easy to read, I strike his hand and knock his sword away.

“Is this the end?”

“No, not yet!”

As he cradles his right hand and kneels, I provoke him. He glares at me sharply, and this time, he uses all his physical strength and skills in weapons and magic without holding back, but I continue to dismantle his attacks one by one.

“Sis! Take care!”

After that, for some reason, that fool started calling me “sis” and formally became a student of our house as a knight candidate.

That’s fine, but I wish he wouldn’t follow me everywhere I go, though I’m glad he likes me.

With the new student seeing me off, I head towards the academy.

There, I notice a nobleman bothering a slave maid who serves another nobleman.

Seeing clearly that the woman is uncomfortable, I decide to intervene, but just as I move to help, Kaiser, the master of that slave maid, acts faster than me to protect the woman.
