Chapter 408 - Bear-san, Fights Pseudo Bear (2/2)

I dodged at the last second before I get hit in the stomach. Then, I stepped back to escape.

[Hey, isn’t kicking a foul!] Yuna

I shouted at Fake-me. Of course, I got no response. So, I changed who I complained to.

[Rojina-san, Guildmaster. Why can’t I use kick but they can?] Yuna

[Even if you ask me that.] Guildmaster

[If it’s a humanoid, then it will kick, I see.] Rojina

[Isn’t it unfair that it’s fine if it’s them but not me?] Yuna

[I’m not saying it’s no good. I just don’t know. It’s supposed to be a test for the weapons after all.] Guildmaster

I know it is to test the weapons. Still, I think it’s unfair that my copy can use the kick and I can’t. Or is it okay for me to use it all this time? But I don’t want it to end the moment I use it. It’s not fair.

But is it too much to ask for a handicap against a copy of yourself?

If I were to use magic, it would be beyond unfair, it would be a foul. But fortunately, I have not used any magic so far.

As I’m thinking about what to do, Fake-me raised its right arm. Then it swung its arm down.

I quickly dodged to the right. But it threw a knife at me.

[Cho!] Yuna

When I tried to complain, I saw a new knife in Fake-me’s right hand.

Isn’t that a foul play?

Fake-me threw a bunch of knives left and right. While throwing knives is not cowardly, the fact that they regenerate is cheating. I only got two. And if I threw them, that would be the end it.

The more distance I make between us, the more disadvantageous it becomes for me who have only two knives. So I’ve been trying to dodge the knives while closing the distance between me and Fake-me.

Then we exchanged a few close-range blows.

I blocked, parried, and slashed the knives. Sometimes, I stabbed it. Fighting against myself is trickier than I thought it would be. It feels as if my movements are being read and even when I think I’ve landed a hit, It gets blocked.

Fake-me swung down its knife. I caught its arm with my right arm before it can fully be swung down. I got an opening on its torso. So I thrust the bear knife in my other hand. But Fake-me dodged even that.

On the contrary, Fake-me slashed at me with the knife in its left hand. This time, it was me who dodged it.

Then we distanced ourselves from each other.

[Fu ~] Yuna

I exhaled quietly. Fake-me is expressionless. Could it be that it has unlimited energy? That’s right. It’s moving with magic power, right? I’m not sure if that means It’ll keep moving until its magic power runs out.

I looked at Fake-me.

Yeah, I got the gist of it.

I didn’t know fighting myself could be so frustrating.

After the fight, I found out that Fake-me copied my power from the three trials. It seems that it can’t show more power than that. Still, it was enough of a threat.

But I’m done playing around. I strengthened my body and poured as much magic power as I can into my Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear Knives.

I put all my strength into my legs. Then, with the fastest movement in these four trials, I quickly closed the gap between me and Fake-me. Fake-me timed it just right and tried to swing its knife down. I caught it with my Hugging Bear Knife and I swung my Swaying Bear Knife sideways. Fake-me tried to catch it with its own knife, but its knife got cut. Originally it’s just soil hardened by magic power. So if I slash it with my Swaying Bear Knife that has more magic power than that, my knife will win.

Then, moving faster than Fake-me, I slashed Fake-me’s chubby belly.

It doesn’t feel so good to slash something that looks exactly like you.

Fake-me was slashed with my knife and then it crumbled.

Author’s Note:

End of the fourth battle.

Fake-Yuna has been copied based on the last three fights by the magic circle.

It looks like the trials will end next time.
