191 CHAPTER XIII Knights Strongest Final Game 2 (2/2)

My strength is weak, so if I'm on the receiving end, I'll lose immediately.

I should use my speed to attack from me.

While avoiding Mr. Bernold's assault, I attack from right beside him.

It was easily defended, but I attacked more and more without stopping.

I shouldn't be in a hurry, but ...... if this is the case, it will be the same as usual.

Mr. Bernhardt is calmly continuing to defend himself, looking for an opening to show me one day.

At this distance, I'll be beaten one day.

But when I try to keep my distance, it's an opening: .......

Well, I knew this was coming.

I've been thinking about how to deal with it. It's not quite perfect, and I'm not sure it will work.

But I'd have to take a gamble or two rather than wait to lose anyway ...... or .

I jumped as hard as I could towards the back, pretending to go around my back.

I let fly a poisonous slash at Bernold-san, who was momentarily delayed in his reaction.

If this one rubs a little, I'll win.

But that wasn't going to happen, and Mr. Bernolt came toward me while avoiding the slash.

Now, here's the battle.

I'm going to keep firing as many slashes as I can at Mr. Bernolt.

Even so, Mr. Bernolt dodges them all while running in a zig-zag fashion.

Compared to Hermann's special effects, my slashes have a shorter range and shorter distance to fly.

That's why they'll never hit an opponent at Ms. Bernolt's level unless I'm caught off guard.

Yes ...... I know that.

Hmmm. All that's left is to pray that I'll succeed.

I stopped my slash and went to charge at Mr. Bernolt who was coming towards me.

SIDE: Leons.

The skill of penetration looks ...... easy, but in reality it's not.

You need to not refuse to let a foreign object enter your body, and this is extremely difficult.

For example, if a sword is about to be thrust into the chest, a person would normally try to avoid it and would naturally tense up in order to resist.

This skill does not allow that. If the person refuses to allow even a small amount of the foreign object to enter their body, the skill will fail.

It is a skill that will fail if you tense up even slightly while being cut.

Normally, you should spend a long time getting used to it.

But Alma and Hermann had only learned it a couple of days ago.

The success rate should still be low.

As I thought about what Alma was about to do now, I couldn't help but think about how hard it would be.

Now, how far can Alma go?

SIDE: Alma

This skill is most effective when you are mindless .

When the sword flies, I just think about it passing through me mindlessly .

As I charged, I slipped past Mr. Bernhardt, who swung his sword down as if waiting for me, twisted my body and sent a slash at Mr. Bernhardt's back.

At this, Mr. Bernhardt no longer has the luxury he had earlier, and he dodges the slash as he rolls away.

Chance!

Just as I was thinking this, Mr. Bernolt threw his sword at my eyes.

Don't get lost . Just blinking is probably not good enough.

It's okay. I can do it.

Instead of being afraid, I charged at the sword.

Mr. Bernhardt looked unusually surprised, as if he thought I would avoid him.

But I didn't care and slashed at Mr. Bernold as I felt the sword slip through my head.

Mr. Bernoldt avoided it, but he was a little too late and the tip of his sword touched his right arm slightly.

Normally, it would be a harmless cut, but with ...... this sword, it was fatal.

Mr. Bernhardt was poisoned and collapsed.

I'm not quite there yet. If it had been a normal mock battle, I would have been the one to lose.

It was a victory completely aided by the performance of the sword.

I still have a long way to go.

Maybe you're right. But a win is a win. We don't want to cheat for our lives. You win with every technique you can muster.

I found Mr. Bernold, who should have collapsed, but he was awake.

It looks like he's on the mend.

”Mr. Bernold. ......

That sword that flew into your head, I never thought you'd succeed in slipping through the cracks. I think you're getting better.

Oh, thank you.

Okay. You beat me, so why don't you win?　Because if I lost to Alma, the winner, then I can make excuses too.

All right. I'm gonna win this thing.

Oh. Good luck!

Watching the back of Mr. Bernhardt, I promised myself that I would win.

Herman, I will never lose!
