After suffering three straight losses to Fana, the other side began to complain, claiming that we must have been cheating somehow. The duel was then temporarily halted and the Brazel family conducted an inspection. But since we are not doing any cheating, no matter how much they investigate, there is no way they can find anything.
“G-Galia-sama, I looked into it but I couldn’t find anything suspicious……”
“What!? That can’t be! There must be something! Otherwise, how could our elite be helpless against such a little girl!?”
“T-that….…”
The vassal turned pale when Galia yelled at him. He has done nothing wrong, but it’s a pity that he got such a superior.
“I-if there’s one thing that I’ve noticed….. it is the sword she is using. Uhm….. it was probably a sword made of mithril, but it seemed to be made using a method I had never seen before. Furthermore, it has been imbued with a number of powerful magic spells…… uh-!”
“What!? You should have told me that sooner! That girl’s uncanny strength must have come from the power of her sword!”
“B-but, as for the weapons, we made an agreement in advance that we could use any kind of weapon……”
“Kuu-……That’s true. So, these guys set a trap there…… Tch! How cowardly!”
Galia contorts his face in disgust. It was the guild leader who refuted.
“What are you talking about? The conditions are the same to you, right? Besides, wasn’t it you who was most keen to make that arrangement?”
“S-shut up! ……Be cocky while you can! My wife and I are still here!”
And so, the duel resumes.
“Leave it to me. I’m going to crush that little girl.”
“Yes. Don’t lose.”
Meliena stepped forward, and just as Fana was about to comply, the guild leader stops her.
“Wait, Fana.”
“?”
“Switch player”
“……I can still fight.”
“I can see that. It’s just that, if it goes on like this, it appears that you will end up defeating them all. You’ve already taken out three of them, so you should be satisfied, right? Let me fight a little bit.”
“Can you win?”
“Hey, hey. Come on, who do you think I am?”
Apparently, the guild leader will fight on behalf of Fana.
“At this rate, we may not have a chance to take part.”
“Yeah.”
While Gain and Emily chuckled, the Guild Leader and Meliena faced each other in the center of the training ground.
“Former S-Rank Adventurer, Ark the ‘Divine Spear’…… I’ve heard some rumors about you.”
“Is that so? Well, you’re famous in your own way too, Meliena the ‘Extreme Ice’. I bet this is going to be a lot of fun.”
“……You’ve been out of active duty for a long time now, right? Hmmm…, I wonder how long an old man on the verge of being senile can last in a fight.”
“On the other hand, if you lose to an old man like me, it will only tarnish the name of the Brazel family even more, right?”
The guild leader retorts calmly to Meliena, who looks down on him.
“….…”
Meliena’s brow furrows and the corners of her mouth contorted. A beautiful woman is ruined.
『Nevertheless, she’s a woman with a bad personality.』
(Yeah. I’m actually glad that I was abandoned.)
As soon as the battle began, Meliena was the first to make a move. From the very beginning, she unleashed a powerful magic spell.
“Freeze up! Permafrost!”
In an instant, a terrific blizzard broke out and attacked the guild leader.
『That was not fair. It seems that she had prepared the spell in advance and prepared it to be unleashed as soon as the battle began. Well, her technique in concealing her magical power so that no one would notice was quite good though. 』
Since she is a pure magician, she probably thought that she wouldn’t be able to win for sure if she hadn’t done that. She told her opponent that it was unfair, but then she used a technique that was almost illegal. Well, I don’t think that it’s out of her bad personality.
“Ahahaha! If a former S-rank adventurer and guild leader loses, the adventurer guild’s reputation will be tarnished!”
Confident of victory, Meliena let out a roar of laughter.
“Alright. Let’s see, I can’t wait to know what kind of expression you have on your face when you freeze up.”
However, the next moment, a voice coming from behind her made her face contort in an instant.
“You thought that would be enough to get rid of a senile old man?”
“Wha-!?”
