Chapter Forty-Eight: Strength Supreme

"Miss Jane......"

A night of tossing and turning, a night of racking brains, a night of regret, a night of ...... In short, Abner, who had suffered a moral test last night, was as tormented the night before as he had been in a crisis of fate. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

was carried by a girl for himself, if he can sleep peacefully without pressure, it can only mean that the worldview, outlook on life, values, and morality cultivated by the twelve years of education he received in his previous life have been fed to the dog.

So, when he met Jane and Paris the next morning at the stationary gym, he was in a state of limbo, languishing, and weak...... It looks very bad.

Even so, when he saw Jane for the first time, he was still a little ashamed and ...... Accidentally.

As is customary, shouldn't Paris be the only one here, while Jane goes about her own business?

Jane's mentor is Gustav, the schoolmaster, a master swordsman. Even if Jane's regular teacher is someone else, the principal can give her some basic guidance.

Moreover, it was precisely because Jane's teacher was someone else, so she needed to maintain respect for this mentor even more - it was not a proper thing to let a master-level powerhouse guide another master's disciple. If this disciple still doesn't care in front of this master and acts freely......

Abner felt that if Jane dared to do this, even if her father was a royal duke and a former minister, she would not want His Excellency the Headmaster to not wear small shoes for her in the various tasks of the academy.

"I asked my mentor for leave. This time, I came here to find you. ”

Seeing the confusion on his face, Jane, who was the same as usual, explained.

Got something to find yourself?

Something related to myself lately......

"It was yesterday...... Things?" Because Paris was nearby, Abner didn't mention the details of the matter, but only said vaguely.

"Hmm. Jane nodded, "I told Paris last night - I didn't want to know something about it yesterday afternoon, so I kicked you and him away, sorry." ”

“?”

Don't you want to know? Don't you want Paris to know?

Abner was amazed—why didn't he have himself? Was it because he was going to be tested by Lord Katrin?and, what did he not want Heyman to know?

With his mind racing, Abner asked the question he wanted to ask:

"Is it something to do with the 'First Rule'?"

“...... Let's take it a long way. Jane's expression was a little strange, "Let's go in first." ”

......

Because of Jane and Paris, the gym was almost a daily morning session for Abner and them, so the three of them could talk about things without fear of being discovered.

As for whether anyone will use magic or other means to spy on it...... It's just a bunch of kids, so what big things can they discuss? It's not a big deal to be watched.

"What shall I say...... Well, let's take the 'first principle' you just mentioned - Abner, do you know what the first principle is among the nobles?"

After sitting down, Jane smiled and spoke first, asking Abner.

"I don't know. He replied honestly.

"Then you have to hear clearly, this is a rule that will last you a lifetime!" A little memory appeared in the chestnut eyes, and Jane whispered, "This is also common to nobles, kingdoms, humans, and even entire continents...... It's just-

Strength comes first. ”

“......”

In this pretend, rotten, depraved, backward ...... In the world, there is such a universal truth.

Strength comes first.

A big fist is the master, the law of the jungle eats the strong, and the truth is only within the range of the cannon...... In the previous life, the people of Blue Star used various ways to interpret the thoughts that were no different from their compatriots in the other world.

Since it is the supremacy of strength, Jane is a fifth-level knight, and Claris is a fifth-level magician, even if there is a difference in lethality because of the profession, there is no absolute difference in strength between the two. Combined with yesterday evening's conversation between Claris and Jane, and and herself......

"So...... Is Her Highness Clariss going to duel with you, Miss Jane?"

Abner gave the answer he had come up with.

"Yes. With a slight bow, Jane's originally gentle expression became more serious, and at the same time there was a subtle helplessness: "Through a duel, decide how to deal with this matter - if I win, then Claris will not be entangled in this matter, and if I lose...... I'm probably going to hurt you!"

"No, Miss Jane, don't say that—if you really want to say it, I should be a burden to you. If I hadn't asked you to borrow a book, it wouldn't be the way it is now. ”

Abner did not mention, and although Hayman was not without responsibility, in this case, it was he who made the mistake first. If he hadn't been vain at that time and had agreed to Heyman's request, but had righteously rejected Heyman, then even if Heyman wanted to borrow the book, it would not have been successful, let alone what had happened.

Moreover, when I mentioned's words, I always had a despicable feeling of pushing the responsibility on others, which is not at all in line with Abner's character and painting style!

It is your own responsibility, you must be brave to take it, don't be cowardly, just do it!

——Actually, I like to pretend to be B in front of girls——

"No, I still have some responsibility for this situation. Jane smiled and lightly denied his words, "The main reason why Claris pressed so this matter is because she doesn't have a good relationship with me. Otherwise, even if someone sees such a thing, most people will pretend not to see it. ”

"Moreover, this duel, Clarisse will not necessarily invite me alone. ”

"Do you want to add yourself?"

Paris, who had not spoken, suddenly felt a little uneasy and cramped.

"Actually...... Something like this, this is the second time it's happened. ”

After considering her tone for a while, Jane put away her smile and said with a slight seriousness.

"The previous time, it was because of Paris—it was similar to this time, but that time because of the relationship between the teacher and the sister, the duel was removed before it could be initiated.

In that duel, Claris not only fought a duel with me, but Paris had an absolute duel with another person. ”

- So, this time she will also ask herself to duel with the others?

"So...... Will Her Highness Clares also ask me and Heyman to join the duel this time?"

Hardship, pain, fear, reluctance...... Under the combination of various emotions, Abner said in a dry voice.

Although a duel will not necessarily kill a person, he is just a duck who does not even have an official rank, and if he really wants to go to the stage to duel, he will definitely be 100% killed!

Of course, if he died, he might not have it, but if he had one or two limbs cut off, and 206 bones were loosened or something, in Abner's opinion, His Highness definitely thought that there could be!

"-san, probably not. Jane shook her head slightly, "Claris is targeting me and the people around me, and besides, she's afraid she'll think I'm lending you the book." So, in this duel, you and Paris might both be put on the duelist's list by her. ”

“......”

Mother Blue Star, I miss you, I really miss you!

"Hey, look like a man! I'm not afraid of a girl, what are you doing as a man making this look?!

Seeing that Abner looked like he wanted to cry without tears, lifeless, as if he had been scared to pee, Paris, who had not spoken, shouted angrily.

"I'm just a man who hasn't even reached the first level, but you're a girl who has reached the third level, what are you not afraid of for me?"

Abner, who had been enlightened by hearing the bad news that it could not have been worse, asked lightly.

"......" Paris paused, then her eyes widened, and she asked with a bit of authority:

"So you're going to be a runaway coward?!"

"No, it won't. Abner shook his head.

Paris's face looked a little better: "Then why are you afraid?"

"Then why can't I be afraid?"

"......" was completely entangled by Abner's strange logic - Paris really couldn't understand that a person who insisted on going to the dueling arena when he was very scared should he beg for mercy in the dueling arena.

With that in mind, she turned her suspicious gaze to Abner.

"Fear is my instinctive reaction - it's normal for ordinary people to be afraid when facing opponents who are stronger than themselves, right? So there's nothing strange about that, but it's my mind and brain that don't run away, so I try to overcome my fear before a duel so that I can face my opponent to the best of my ability. ”

Seeing her eyes, Abner could guess what she was thinking, and he explained—and he did—and that's exactly what he did.

——After all, I still like to pretend to be B in front of girls——

"Hehe......" Jane, who had watched the conversation between the two throughout the whole process, chuckled, and her voice was as light and pleasant as a silver bell.

"Well, you don't have to worry too much, Abner. After laughing, she comforted, "This time I will ask Sister Catelyn to be my notary, and she knows about you, and Claris's main target is also me, so if she fights for it, you may not have to participate in the duel - of course, if I can, I will let my sister cancel the duel as much as possible." ”

It's really Miss Jane, and it's so good to yourself......!

As soon as the flame of agitation was generated, it was extinguished by cold water called sanity.

He still clearly remembered what the Duke of Illya had said when he met the Duke of Illia in the hall of the villa in Foster District the afternoon before yesterday - Catlyn would not be in the royal capital for some time.

Although it is not clear how long she is talking about 'this period of time', there is no doubt that the other party will not deliberately make up a lie in order to deceive herself......

No, no, Miss Jane is the sister of Lord Katrin, and maybe she's the latest news here!

After forcibly hypnotizing himself, Abner stabilized himself and said to Jane: "I don't know if it's true, but I think it's better to tell Miss Jane the news—the day before yesterday, Duke Elia of the Ellis family invited me and Heyman to her villa in Foster, where she told me that Her Excellency Catelyn would not be in the royal capital for some time...... And, yesterday, I met Lord Catelyn there, a lady with the same long purple hair and amber eyes as you. ”

“......”

PS: Abner won't run away from a duel, but he won't turn into a mid-level knight in a few months, and then win with difficulty.
