The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me

Ting!

The clear and unstable sound of iron resonating in the head makes the eardrums tremble.

I hit the blade of Elbert, who could barely react, to protect my neck, which would have fallen off if I was late.

“Hmm… the reaction speed isn’t bad, and the power of the kingdom’s strongest knight is not too threatening.”

The male protagonist, with his eyes slightly narrowed as if by surprise, spit out those words, leisurely looked around his sword, and then exclaimed in admiration.

“Even a counterattack…”

When I looked closely at Elbert’s blade, there was a slight crack in one part of the blade.

To be honest, I was fortunate enough to be able to do this.

He drank the potion Eleana gave him before and his speed-related stats increased, so he was able to barely react to the blade that digs into the gap.

Moreover, the sense of instantaneous power that is exerted to the extreme in a crisis situation flows slowly, and the trajectory of the blade that can be captured like a slow motion can be predicted to some extent.

I never learned swordsmanship, but I was swinging my sword using the maximum amount of motor I could exert, but it seemed like I was caught by accident and got caught and defended and counterattacked at the same time.

In other words, there is no packaging that says you can do it if you ask them to do this again, and there is a high possibility of failure…

“I have cut down many people while protecting the royal family, but this is the first time I’ve never seen a person with outstanding skills unlike this naive and ephemeral appearance.”

Elbert’s inner self had already been imprinted as a strong force, and it seemed that something had gotten worse.

“Whether you win or lose will be decided by whether your opponent’s weapon is destroyed or their neck falls off, so let’s go again.”

He spit out dangerous words casually, then leapt once again at a tremendous speed and unleashed his sword at me.

Ting! Ting!

As he received swords in succession, flames swirled between the swords for a moment, and fatigue builds up in the hands from the increasingly heavy blows.

If I had received a potion about magical power rather than speed from Eleanor, I would have died earlier on this spot.

Calm down… Concentrate… You can’t win if you keep defending, so you have to be patient and wait for the opportunity to come.

Now-!

Pak!

He used a high level of concentration to cut off Elbert’s sword and insert the sword into the gap he could find.

“It’s dangerous… you’re the only one who’s been able to touch me lately.”

However, the armor that shined brilliantly in the light of the sun was as strong as it appeared to be, so it could not deliver an offensive blow.

I couldn’t predict how harsh the test would be when I saw the expression on my face that was getting more and more serious and harsh as I gave and received money.

“Because it’s an ordinary blade, not the great sword I usually use, the speed would have definitely increased, but to deal with it so well. Originally, I was going to finish the test at this level, but I couldn’t stand it because the blood was drawn up.”

swish!

“Ugh?!”

I didn’t like the attitude of evaluating others in a good way.

“Yeah, that’s right… I’m serious, but I’m talking too much. It’s not polite, then… I’ll go again!”

At the end, he exhales in a harsh tone and leaps off the ground until the floor fails.

I feel it again now, but unlike the appearance of wearing heavy, hard and heavy armor, it was boasting of the worst attack difficulty ever because of its agile movement.

Its attack power and speed are as destructive as they are, but even the defense is so strong that it felt like throwing a fist against an iron wall.

Ting!!!

A vibration that was unimaginable until now was transmitted to my wrist, and if I had lost my concentration even a little, I would have missed the sword right away.

“Ugh… I just poured all of my stuff into it and it did a good job, but…”

After checking my current status, Elbert was half-confirmed of victory.

That said, the fatigue was so high that I couldn’t feel my hand from the last blow, and there was no way I could take any more hits, so I finally lowered the blade.

“The next two hap… No, it will end in unity.”

Then again, like a nobleman, he takes an old-fashioned and menacing stance and prepares to run towards me.

“The game has been won.”

To be honest, what Elbert said is right… Victory or defeat has already been decided…

“Surely it is.”

The moment Elbert listened to me and was about to bend his knees with a faint expression on his face…

Damn it!

“Yes?!”

“With my victory.”

I’m sure of victory and smile softly.

I.. huh…!! Damn it!!

The blade of Elbert’s sword gradually cracks and the bacterium grows bigger as time goes by, eventually…

Quajiic!!

The iron blade became powder and lost its shape as a sword.

“……”

He was mesmerized while looking at his weapon, which had been suddenly destroyed.

In the end, I did it, and I succeeded in a possibility that might have been just a delusion.

“The weapon was weak compared to the user’s strength, so I couldn’t stand it in the end.”

At those words, Elbert pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes and realized what had happened to him.

“no way…!!”

The reason I won this match, the reason I was able to destroy the opponent’s weapon without a proper attack.

The very moment I was lucky enough to fight back in the first round, I saw a possibility.

A plan to win the first sum that was the only way to reveal a weakness on a day that seemed to have no cracks in the cracks of the sword, which appeared to be minutely formed, flashed through my mind.

Attack using recoil.

If I hit the wall with my fist, the wall will be impacted, but the impact will come to my hand as well.

The plan was to use that to attack the sword, not the Elbert, and to weaken the blade of the sword by delivering an impact to the cracked part as much as the force applied to me.

If you keep hitting only the cracked part and continue to apply physical force, the crack engraved on the sword will grow and be destroyed sooner or later.

So, as I concentrated on defense as much as possible and defended by cutting out only the cracks created by the first sum, as I expected, the durability of the sword gradually weakened.

The day when I was absorbing as much shock as Elbert, who used the sword, inflicted damage on me, it was destroyed faster than I thought.

Ting!!!

The last one exchanged, with the blow that contained all of Elbert’s power, the sword could no longer be called a sword.

It could also be seen as the result of Elbert, who was attacking with only one thought of cutting his opponent, because he went crazy with his sword and didn’t care.

“I said before? Destroying the opponent’s weapon or dropping the opponent’s neck is a condition of victory, and what you’re holding now doesn’t seem like a weapon anymore?”

Recalling the victory conditions he clearly stated earlier, he speaks in a pleasant tone mixed with a little provocation.

“……”

After that, Elbet remained silent for a while, but soon smiled with an expression of reassurance, and after a while, he started laughing out loud.

“Hahahaha!! Did I completely forsake?! I’ll admit it, Harold, you didn’t even pass the test, you beat me, the strongest knight in the kingdom, in a sword fight.”

In an instant, the hostility dissipated, and the sword that was left with only the hilt was thrown away, and he walked over to me and placed his hand on my shoulder.

“Are you just an adventurer? Well, you’re actually the Sword Master’s apprentice or something like that?”

It sounds like a compliment, but on the contrary, it upsets me.

“Mr. Elbet? Actually, I never learned that swordsmanship.”

At that, he tilted his head with a face full of doubt.

After confirming his expression that he couldn’t understand, he sent magical energy to his fingertips to form small crystals, and Elbert, who witnessed it, was astonished.

“At first, I’m a wizard…. I was a little embarrassed when Mr. Elbert suggested that we fight with a sword, but I was lucky nonetheless.”

Then, in shock, he opened his mouth wide and covered his exposed mouth with his palm, unable to contain his shock.

“Really?! When I first saw him, he was wearing a sword on his waist dance, so of course I thought he was a swordsman…”

Well, it seemed that his lack of insight was still there.

“At first, this is for self-defense, the magic that I can use consumes a lot of mana, so I always wear a sword, but my main job is a wizard.”

It was so shocking that his smile turned into an impression, causing him to frown, and Elbert was in pain as he pressed down on the bridge of his nose.

“I hope… I’ll lose to a wizard with a sword…”

He murmured a small talk to himself, put his thumb and index finger on the tip of his chin, and fell into thought, then grabbed my shoulders with a determined expression.

“Aren’t you serious about joining the Knights Templar? He’s a swordsman who surpasses me, but even his main job is magic…. He’s an incredible talent.”

There was earnestness on his serious face, asking him to come to his side, but I couldn’t afford to enter the Knights Templar.

“I’m sorry, but I want to continue my journey with Erina. It may be too arrogant not to listen to this offer, but I politely decline.”

When I turned down the offer, it looked like it was regretful, but it revives again and smiles as if it went well.

“I’d rather have this one! If it’s you, you can leave Erina in peace.”

However, there have been some harsh words.

In the first place, they say things that are difficult to understand, such as judging whether Erina is a good fit for the reason for this match in the first place, and letting Erina be entrusted to her when it is over.

“ha ha ha…”

It worries me for nothing, but I believe that it doesn’t mean much, and I shake off my worries with a smile that might be a little awkward.

◆◆◆

“But what do you think is the secret to its strength?”

After the match, while walking down the hallway together, he asks such a question at once.

“yes?”

“What is the cause of your strength? How the hell did you get to that point, the reason you were able to defeat a swordsman despite being a wizard.”

From a while ago, ‘A wizard defeats a swordsman with a sword.’ I had an unfathomable interest in the sentence.

It may seem silly, but… just in case, I asked the reverse question.

“Hey… I dare ask, but it would be great for a wizard to defeat a swordsman in a swordsmanship match, right?”

He opened his eyes and took a deep breath as if he was asking what he was going to ask.

“What do I have to explain? Of course, but if we were to use an analogy, it would be like a person who has devoted his life to mathematics and a person who has only been writing. If he loses in a calculation contest, who will be able to properly take care of his reason?”

To interpret from my situation, science and liberal arts had a calculus match, but do you feel like the liberal arts department got a better score?

As expected, I wonder if they both have the same specialties, one of them is in a different field, and he lost the match he thought was advantageous, so the sense of defeat and humiliation he felt from him would be enormous.

Still, Elbert seemed to focus on who I was, rather than whether he was defeated or his own generosity.

“And no matter how you look, you look like a swordsman, because if you have a sword on your waist dance without a catalyst, you will be mistaken for a swordsman when you first see it.”

Come to think of it, so far, other adventurers have had a figure that fits the general image of a wizard.

Unlike me, he wears a spell book, not a sword, on his waist, wears a pointed hat, and usually carries a wooden staff.

In fact, even in the game, the role of a wizard is never the same equipment as me…

It’s also true that I use a sword because of the high speed I fly, and I can cast magic on the spot with my hands.

“Harold, are you… are you without a voice?”

Moo Young Chang

I’m asking if I can literally cast magic without a chorale.

“Usually, I just say the name of a skill that uses magic and cast it, but what’s wrong?”

In the game, when a character casts a spell, like me, he only speaks the name of the skill, and he doesn’t shout out the lines that shrink in the flesh that you see in fantasy media.

But, hearing my words, Elbert made his eyes more interesting and smiled bitterly with various emotions.

“That’s great! Somehow, he took out magic crystals without a catalyst. Showing magic crystals is a bit of a skill that any wizard can do without a chant, so if there’s a chance later, why don’t you try your skills?”

As if he wasn’t really happy, he also showed a little bit of fear.

“Is it possible that the silent chant is so rare?!”

Usually, when the main character encounters a fantasy with an overly strong setting, the skillless chanting is described as a skill that only very few talented people can have.

For some reason, my heart swelled at the fact that I could be more special than anyone else, but the answer I got back was a bit bland.

“It’s definitely precious, but if you look for it again, how much can you see? Nine out of ten wizards, unlike you, don’t have the talent for chanting.”

It’s special, but at that level that you can’t just be treated like a diamond?

I had high expectations, so disappointment shrugged my shoulders, but I should still be happy just to have my own talent.

“Still, seeing you like that, I think Erina is also very lucky.”

With words that seemed reassuring, he smiled once again, and doubts began to arise.

It seems like I’ve just been walking down the endless hallway since before.

“Hey Mr. Elbert? Where are we going now?”

In the end, he couldn’t stand his boredom and asked him a question, and an immediate answer came.

“Erina’s room, and I’m here now.”

Standing in front of a luxurious door while stopping, Elbert gently knocked on the door and was polite to the person inside.

“yes~”

Erina’s droopy voice could be heard faintly from inside the room, as if a comfortable partner had arrived.

“It’s Erina, Elbert.”

“Oppa? It’s okay to come in, I’m done talking with my mother.”

Then he grabs the handle of the doorknob and tries to open the door, and suddenly he winks an evil smile.

“By the way, is there Harold beside you?”

“Yeah? ….. Wait what?!”

At that moment, a loud noise was heard in the room, causing something to be disturbed, and then Erina’s urgent voice jumped out.

“There’s Harold?! Then don’t come in!!”

The sound of something bolder and more daring along with the pretense of someone jumping in a hurry makes me even break out in a cold sweat.

“Do you open the door?”

With a grumpy face, he boldly opens the door.

“no….!!”

The door opened and I saw Erina and I clearly heard what came into my sight…

“Hey… Harold?! Don’t look at me now!!”

A gorgeous, red-tinted elegant dress that matches her figure, her well-arranged and elegantly decorated hair rather than loosely tied for the convenience of her activities, and her eyes shining exceptionally bright like ruby.

“Ugh… don’t look…”

She looks noble like a beautiful princess that can only be drawn in a fairy tale, and unlike her attire, she shyly blushes and tries to avoid gaze, drawing out the beauty of cuteness.

“Harold…?”

A colleague who has changed so heterogeneously like a beautiful butterfly, out of an ugly looking chrysalis.

“I’ll be brave to ask you what I’ve been caught up to… How about…?”

Erina Robbias

“Do you like it…?”

It gave me a new look, who had remained just an adventurer image.
