Addict’s Recovery Journal

5 # Duel

1.

Dragon power April 20, 982.

It was the 15th birthday of the Grand Duke’s bastard, Aiden Stroke, and it was a day of fighting against an unnamed reputation and duel.

Although it was the Stroke family that sent out invitations to announce the rebirth of their child, the nobles who knew the story of the boy and the man who knew the truth would ridicule them.

“That little pig, who didn’t want to be dragged to the front, sent the Grand Duke to feed himself. I heard you promised to prove your ability to fight against Knights. It’s ridiculous how you act. ”

“I heard you had your first sword three months ago. Until then, I don’t know what kind of man dares to fight for his life after drinking and gambling. ”

“Don’t you know? That son of a bitch owned a thousand-year-old prosecutor, Regenshaw, who could have acquired an armor in just three months! ”

“Count Telvani, you’ve got to be kidding me. Haha!”

Some of the invited nobles exchanged farms to mock Aiden. Other nobles who are waiting quietly in the corner for the start of the duel are not only responding, but also empathizing with the atmosphere passively.

However, there were those who swallowed up the branch by seeing those who gossiped in that way.

“That · · · ·! ”

“Hang in there, Jimmy. No matter what we say, we’ll only get screwed. ”

It was the apprentice knights who kept watching Aiden vomiting blood at the training ground, sharing a sword with him who had regenerated, or receiving an apology stamped on by a family seal, who were filled with awe.

It is unofficial, however, that Aiden has won successive victories against them. The repercussions of this were also extremely minor. Ritten’s explicit restraint of his brother’s reputation was one of the reasons the rumors didn’t spread, but he often wondered whether someone overheard the rumor or used a cowardly number.

If there are exceptions, they have seen it firsthand. The wife of the ducal family of Eutland, who is now in the prime seat of the training ground.

“Aiden can win, right? ”

”Were you worried about your fiancée long before the duel? Tsk, tsk, it’s no use raising a daughter. “

Though the expression seemed daunting, there was a gladness in Elvio’s expression. He was just waiting for his granddaughter to give him a grandchild in front of him, taking the child’s child as soon as possible.

Chesha, who knows his father’s insides, looks bitter and looks into the arena where the duel will unfold soon.

About three weeks ago, she succeeded in using the right order for the first time in her life. The elixir that Aiden gave me was genuine.

Of course, the potency of yin and yang was always temporary. However, Aiden, who had given her this drug, knew how to completely resolve the impairment in horsepower, which caused Chesha to feel even more thirsty.

She boards and rolls her feet together, waiting for a reunion with Aiden.

And on the one hand, such attitudes were rarely understood.

‘· · · It’s never like him as a rational person. As a savior who has given me clues to solve my disabilities and as a childhood friend, I am doing you a favor! ’

After receiving pressure from her father on spirituality, she was strongly opposed to being a man and woman.

However, when I thought about my childhood friend who gave me hope to dream of the wizard again, I couldn’t help but feel warm in my heart.

”· · Cheer up. “

She quietly cheers for Aiden, who will be in the waiting room.

2.

About 10 minutes before entering the training ground, Linia came in to check on her condition in the waiting room.

”Young master, you have a visitor. “

”What? Who are you at this hour? “

”His Highness, Grand Duke of Poden Stroke and Lord Ebel Stroke. “

No, what about Poden, Evel?

The continent of the great-grandmother of Aiden?

Why is he looking for me all of a sudden?

Suddenly, I was irritated.

”There are none of you here. Why are you interrupting me right before the duel? “

”Fig, Young Master. There are two of you right outside the door. Please refrain from using harsh language. “

”You don’t have to stop me now that you’ve heard the whole story, miss. “

A strange voice came out of nowhere.

Two men enter the waiting room. One was my father, Poden Stroke, and the other was a muscular old man with gray hair.

That would make him Ebel Stroke of the Sword.

A member of dozens of continents, he is known for his fame and favorable disposition as a knight in the North. However, the value of the name is not a colorful figure in the original.

Evel kicks her tongue at me.

”Apparently I’m trying to make amends and repent of my mistakes. I see your fucking temper is intact. “

”Uncle.“

Seeing Poden staring at him in scorn, Ebel shuts up. Then he looks up and down at me, clearing his throat.

”Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh, but I guess he did try to get rid of all the fluffy weight. I’ll admit it. “

”I’m busy right now. Can’t you just tell me what you came here for? “

Honestly, I don’t like this old man very much.

I know he can exert immense influence on the Knights of the North, but I still don’t want to do him any favors.

Nevertheless, Ebel used to use a unique, old-fashioned character in an original novel to feed readers sweet potatoes. The protagonist Epio’s party has caused damage to the Ridley and Stroke families and has not helped them to confront the two final bosses, the Schneifelt family.

Abel told me.

”Hmm, I’m just here to warn you. “

”Warning?“

“The reputation of Julio Bass, who fought you, was something I taught myself for half a year. He had excellent qualities. I hear you’ve made quite an advance against the apprentices, but Julio’s not like those guys. ”

“So you want me to surrender? It’s not very funny if you’re joking. ”

“No. You can’t win anyway. You have to struggle. Depending on how long you hold out, I can make you a special disciple of this body. ”

To stand up to Julio?

Make him a handyman?

As soon as I heard that, I realized why Poden came to the waiting room with Ebel.

· · · Grand Duke Charge. If I lose this duel, will you send me to the Riferta border? ”

Then Poden looks at me silently.

Something positive caused me to laugh in vain.

“Is that so · ·”

The Riferta border is the border between Supiol and the neighbor. What’s important here is that Evel Stroke is serving there.

The Grand Duke had already realized that the relationship between the successor Ritten and the next Eiden was not good. The trip to Supiol in Iden was probably intended to separate the two of them before there was a great conflict between the brothers.

However, I resuscitated abruptly and began to master swordsmanship at a terrifying speed. It just appeared as a bad wood to send to the army without thinking.

The Grand Duke thought about it, but eventually he came up with a countermeasure. It is to hand Aiden over to the border of Riferta, where Ebel is instead of the Supiol.

It was a stunning move to keep me away from Liton, but also to train me to use my sword under a great master.

Maybe today’s duel is about making excuses.

I thought it was strange that that stubborn old man had been invited here by a kid like Ritten, but it turned out that Poden had used his hands behind his back. It seems that Julio has long known that he is strong as an elite knight.

That Ritten guy, he seems to have been working hard on his own, but what would he look like if he knew he was playing on the palm of my father’s hand?

The black Duke inside said to me,

“Aiden. It’s not a bad condition for you to be a disciple of your great-grandfather. So why don’t you leave the mansion and come back in a few years? I promise you that I will use you in the family after this matter is resolved. ”

“Nobility’s oath is heavy, Grand Duke. As promised, if you win today’s battle against the Flat Knights, you won’t have to go to the front lines, right? ”

“ · · ·! ”

Poden was shocked to learn that one day he had returned what he had said.

The situation has become complicated in many ways, but the conclusion is simple. It just means that if I beat Julio, I can live my life.

Evel smiles as if it’s funny.

“Julio has already reached the same level as an elite knight. Do you really think you can win a duel with your skills? ”

“I don’t know until I try. ”

“I’ve heard you’ve accomplished quite a bit in just four months. That’s why you’re so confident. But there are a lot of geniuses on this continent, kid. ”

I feel like I’m about to tell a frog-like story in a well, but I know my limits and the reality of this worldview better than you.

I proposed to him.

“Then, will you wager the victory of the duel? ”

“That’s interesting. What’s the prize? ”

“Let’s not wager material rewards because I don’t have anything, but let’s say the loser listens to the winner’s demands. ”

“Hot, if you are defeated in the duel and return to Riferta, you will have to follow my orders to die. In fact, you have nothing to lose. ”

“So you’re afraid I’ll win? ”

With a slight touch of pride, Ebel’s expression hardens. A provocation that cannot be given away by his honorable nature.

As expected, Ebel bit the rice cakes.

“· · · Good. Then let’s make that bet. ”

“Don’t say anything else later. ”

I laughed myself to death.

You’ve got a catch.

3.

The first arena of the Stroke Manor.

At the scheduled time of the duel, Aiden Stroke appeared there.

On the outskirts of the training ground, the nobles who came from all over the world received an invitation from Ritten, and they were surprised to see rumors and other bastards.

“That’s Aiden Stroke? ”

“You said the pig would roll if it was kicked. Too much exaggeration. ”

It was Ok’s teat that his flesh was plumped up, but it appeared to be a nobleman born of nobility.

The referee declared while the eldest was getting disorderly.

“From now on, I will start the duel between Baron Jude’s third son Julio and the next son of the Stroke’s Eiden. ”

The noisy nobles shut their mouths and gazed at the stage with eager eyes. I wonder how bad that bastard looks, with such expectations.

4.

When I see the nobles staring at me this way, my eyes frown.

Seeing those eyes that I’m expecting to burst in some way, it feels like I’ve come to the execution of some villain. Well, it’s not wrong to think about what Aiden has done.

Julio told me.

“Duel rules established by the Fighting Church allow players to concede to an official non-official official official official official. For the next five seconds after the duel, I will only perform a defensive check. ”

“We know that the rules of conceding athletes are almost a private rule in the church. Why are you trying to save my life after all this time? ”

“No, I’m just trying to tell you the difference between Confucius and me. ”

Gooooo!

Soon, the intangible energy emanating from Julio’s body wrapped around him. Seeing this, I hardened my face. That was the armor, the deepening container of breath. An invincible shield that cannot be destroyed by a Furious opponent at all costs.

But from the moment I saw his level, I expected this.

Julio told me.

“Come.”

“You may regret it. ”

Immediately after protesting with a smile, the referee declared the start of the duel. I dash headlong into Julio.

The battle is about to unfold, and victory and defeat is at hand.

Repeat Alsigma’s breathing to maximize vibration. And he focused all his strength on the point of his left hand.

Alchigma Ryu’s first feast.

Vailshaker.

Pa-bak!

Suddenly, Julio’s relaxed expression quickly cracked. At the same time, his armor, as solid as an iron wall, is also shattered from the inside. It is never broken in front of you. The ‘connection’ itself, which forms a shield called armor, has collapsed.

“Cough!”

The next moment, he spewed black blood into the air.

End
