Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 63.1

Only myself, Count Rudelagan, and Diana had come to the private training room.

As expected from a martial family, the private room was well-equipped, with walls and magical stones for defense that seemed sturdier than those in the academy.

“You’re really going to take it easy, right… Count?”

“Ha ha ha! Absolutely!”

No, no, no! This definitely doesn’t feel like taking it easy!

“Now, choose whatever weapon you like!”

Various wooden weapons were lined up. However, there was no wooden scythe.

I should have made a wooden scythe for situations like this.

Since it didn’t seem to matter which weapon I chose, I picked a wooden longsword for safety.

“Is that all right?”

“Yes!”

“Very well. Then――――let’s begin!”

Just by taking his stance, a formidable aura burst forth, making his clothes flutter.

Then, for an instant, the Count’s body wavered, and he closed the distance between us in an instant to strike.

Despite his massive size, he moved with incredible speed… but! In terms of speed, I should be able to hold my ground against anyone less than a master assassin!

I tried to block his large sweeping horizontal strike with the wooden sword.

Just before my wooden sword and the Count’s wooden greatsword clashed, the presence of his attack conveyed how strong it was.

Ah… without a scythe, this opponent would be overwhelming.

As expected, my defense was futile, and I was blasted into the training room wall by the Count’s relentless attack.

“Hmm? You. Did you really save Diana? Is that all you can do?”

“No… This is too strong…”

“…Oh. You’re still in good shape after taking that.”

I’m not in good shape! My arms are completely numb!

I felt the danger just before the attack hit, and by pulling back my weapon and deflecting the attack, I was blown away with minimal damage.

It’s the same tactic I used when fighting the former subordinate of Count Kuzelia.

“Ha… Count.”

“Yes?”

“May I use real weapons just for me? Of course――――I will hold back.”

“Hehe. You have the nerve to ask. Fine.”

Alright.

If I lose here, there’s no point in coming all the way. What I’m about to do requires Count Rudelagan’s assistance. Without it, I can’t accomplish my goal.

I took out the Black Days.

“…I see. So this is your true form.”

“Yes. I apologize for not preparing wooden weapons. I will make sure to prepare them next time.”

“Interesting! Come at me!”

“Very well!”

There’s no room for a half-hearted fight. I can tell that the opponent is much stronger.

He is the strongest opponent I’ve faced so far.

The knight commander I met in the royal capital seemed strong, and the Imperial Knight also appeared strong, but he is stronger than them. In fact, I would believe he’s the strongest man in the kingdom!
