"Let's go!"

"Wow!"

At the same time as Mr. Mendes signaled, Jasper raised his wooden sword and rushed forward.

I took a half-step back with my right leg and stood in place with my stick, but he swung his wooden sword directly.

When Jasper was within my range, I stabbed him in the torso while turning my body to the left to avoid the wooden sword.

"One! Until then! ”

Jasper stopped moving, his back to me.

"I mean, it's too slow, too slow."

Although the body enhancement was canceled before the start of the match, my walking speed and sword speed were so slow that I thought I was being ridiculed.

Although I knew it would be a mistake to compare myself to Mr. Zeor, the excitement before the start vanished instantly.

"You two, back to the starting line"

Hearing Mr. Mendez's signal, Jasper turned around, held his torso with his right hand, and looked at me in disbelief.

"No, I can't believe it, where did you get your confidence?"

After watching my magic, I heard the sneers and laughter of the people who followed me to the training ground.

"Anyway, I came out with confidence, but I'm not cool"

Out of nowhere, a girl's voice came, and Jasper, who had returned to the starting line, turned red and trembled.

His physique looks more mobile than Miguel's, but he looks like a "comrade" who doesn't make much difference, including in character.

"Second round, begin!"

"Ahhhh Uriah! Tower! ”

I thought it was too late for the first blow, but the waving wooden sword made my blood rush over my head, and I didn't feel the slightest sharpness.

The wooden sword moved only half a step before slicing through the air and striking lightly to the head of the unbalanced Jasper.

"One! Until then! ”

Jasper stepped on the tartar, got down on one knee, gritted his teeth, and glared at me.

"Even if you stare at me like that, it's not my fault that you're weak."

"You two, back to the starting line"

Jasper guided me with a resentful gaze, and the moment he passed to my left, he slammed the wooden sword with his right hand in the opposite horizontal direction.

The cowardly attack that launched a surprise attack without waiting for the first signal was repelled by the prepared Heavenly Attribute Magic Shield with a thirsty sound.

In the guild's tavern, I allowed Ms. Layla to approach me, but in this case, I wouldn't let my guard down.

A cowardly surprise attack is also within the hypothetical range.

"No..."

"Until then! Victor, Hua Wuming. Jasper, you're a complete loser! ”

"No, because I only took two, and it was just a simple blow"

"You mean I have a pimple in my eye?"

Mr. Mendez's words were a little lower than before, and not only Jasper, but also the students who were watching held their breath and fell silent.

Professor Mendez reached out his right hand and took the wooden sword from Jasper's hand, then told him to put away his armor and return to his room.

"Hua Wuming, our students are too rude."

"No, it's not that serious, so don't worry."

"I'm sorry if I just made you a charm for the students, though. I don't know, why don't you try it out with me? ”

Professor Mendez smiled and spoke, but the look he looked at me was the look of a wild beast hunting its prey.

The excitement that had come over before meeting Jasper hit me violently, and I couldn't help but let go of my mouth.

"It's okay to be soft, but it's okay. Thank you so much. ”

Looking at me with a smile on his face, Professor Mendez smiled like a grinning warrior.

When they separated from the starting line and faced each other, all the voices in the arena disappeared, and everything fell silent.

There is no need to signal the start, the moment the eyes are exchanged, the game has already begun.

As usual, I took a half-step back with my right leg and held the stick, but Mr. Mendez held the wooden sword in his right hand and put it down.

"It looks like he's licking me, but I can't feel any gaps."

"She's on the same level as Zeor, even stronger, and definitely better than me."

"In that case, there's no need to use any clumsy means."

Exhale quietly and inhale slowly to suppress your distractions.

The moment I held my breath, I imagined myself turning into a spear, quickly closing the distance between me and Mr. Mendez.

The wooden sword collided with the stick, making a dry sound.

More than half of the reason why I was able to hit the wooden sword that jumped from the dead corner of my left eye was my intuition.

I was in a hurry to pull away, but Professor Mendez approached me so fast that I thought I was teleporting.

Dodging Quesa's slash, flipping the sweep backwards and jumping backwards, finally opening up some distance.

More precisely, Professor Mendez did not follow up, so I was allowed to keep my distance.

"That's good, at that age, a cat lover, and that action is more than I imagined."

The more Mendes laughed, the more pressure he felt.

It was so powerful that the hairs on my back stood on end, and my legs were shaking, but I gritted my teeth and smiled.

If you feel scared, your body will stiffen and you won't be able to move, and the situation will get worse.

I've learned this from being chased by goblins, attacking kobolds, and participating in the conquest of orcs and bronze wolves.

"Let's go"

As always, Mr. Mendez walked over with a wooden sword in his right hand and casually.

He endured his body and did not succumb to the pressure, and was about to rush forward, timing his steps.

When people of the same physique fight with swords and sticks, the distance between the sticks will be longer, but the distance between us and Mr. Mendez, although we use sticks, is shorter.

"Unless you dodge a strong blow from Professor Mendez and jump into your arms, you have no chance of winning."

As soon as Mr. Mendez intervened, I was ready to "fall behind", but what was released was a stabbing blow.

I immediately opened my body to dodge, but the tip of the wooden sword grazed the armor, and the smell of burning filled the air.

I launched a counterstab, but was easily repelled by the wooden sword that was pulled back.

The sweep was faster than I had time to hit back the stick, but I fell to the floor to dodge it as I swept past Mr. Mendes' shins.

As soon as I was dodged by taking a step back, I was hit one after another, but when I used my stick to block Mendes' backstab, I felt a shock in my stomach.

"Faurecia!"

As I rolled on the floor, I saw Professor Mendez stab my upside-down wooden sword and approach me from behind.

Seeing the empty back, I thought I had won, but it seemed like I had fallen into a trap.

"Sure enough, Mr. Mendez and Mr. Zeor are the same kind of people."

Even so, the moment I was hit, I jumped back on my own, and thanks to my armor, I didn't suffer unbearable damage.

"Thank you very much"

"Aren't you going to continue?"

"Yes, I have an appointment with Professor Lembolt today."

"It's a pity that I'm here most of the time, you can come to me at any time, I'll talk to the receptionist."

"Thank you.

When I shook hands with Mr. Mendez, the onlookers erupted in applause.

After bowing to the onlookers, I left the martial arts practice ground with Mr. Lembot.

Olivier and the others were about to follow, but Professor Mendez told them to wait.

He seems to be using this opportunity to instruct adventurers not to launch a duel against them.

According to Mr. Lembaud, every year, several students go to the guild training ground to register for competitions and are beaten and injured.

Even if he is the strongest in the school or in the same grade, his level is not the same as the adventurers in the crusade scene.

"Well, to be honest, I thought it would be very difficult with Hua Wuming's physique, but since I participated in the crusade against the bronze wolf, my level is naturally different."

"There used to be an adventurer in the village who trained me, but because I only saw him once, I don't know what his rank is."

"I'm a martial arts enthusiast, but I can see that the level of the competition with Mr. Mendes just now is quite high."

"My specialty is magic, but there's nothing to lose by learning martial arts."

"yes, I need you to explain the magic just now, let's get back to the research building."

"Yes, let's get started"

Back in the research building, he gave a demonstration of the flame gun, including the Wind Magic.

It seems that the idea of stacking hollow structure artifacts spurred Mr. Lemburg.

We talked until the evening, and this day I learned about temperature control and lightning magic.
