The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

{Friends and Fiances and Unexpected Matches}

‘Dad? Mom? And even Lilia!’

The people sitting not far from Theodore were his own family.

And Ashley was sitting next to Lilia.

I saw the Duke and Duchess of Arsein and her sister Lilia, and I could see that Lilia’s eyes kept turning to Theodore, who was sitting at a distance beside her.

“Yuria! Be sure to win!”

I heard the voice of Duke Arsane all the way here.

The sound was transmitted directly to Yuria by carrying the energy.

‘I never thought His Majesty would allow my father, mother, and even Lilia to come again.’

Since there were many diplomatic problems even for a brief visit, it was not easy for a duke to move.

But if you think about it, you have to pay attention to Theodore Skylord because he is the chosen one, and the Britannian Imperial Family, who hoped to create a show that the Britannian Imperial Family and Theodore are not hostile in this tournament, barely received a visit from the Duke of Arsene. There was no reason to refuse.

It was clear that he easily accepted the request of the emperor of the Arkhan Empire.

‘But you didn’t tell me.’

I was a bit grumpy with Theodore and Ashley for keeping this a secret.

However, given Theodore’s personality, it was unlikely that he would deliberately hide this, so it must not have been something he made up.

Perhaps one of Ashley’s father, Duke Arsane, was hiding it to surprise him.

“I never thought Duke Arsane and his wife from the Arkan Empire would come to cheer us on.”

My opponent, David Sedlair, was also amazed at that part.

And the moderator was now continuing the introduction of David.

“Here, student David Sedlair is the head of Minst Academy’s 3rd year swordsmanship department and is from the Count Sedlair family. As it is a swordsman’s match, I look forward to a good match between the two students’ swords.”

Since the Count Sedleaire family itself was a family without any special characteristics, there was no special introduction unlike Cynthia’s time.

“I look forward to a good match.”

“This side expects a good match too!”

Before the start of the confrontation, after exchanging greetings, YuRia and David pulled out their swords and took their own poses.

“Then let’s start the match between the two of you!”

With the announcer’s announcement that the match was starting, David was the first to move.

“aaa!”

David’s sword-wielding attack contained ferocious momentum.

However, Yuria understood at least that momentum was not important.

‘The real thing is different.’

The moment David wielded his sword was about to attack Yuria in the form of a downward strike, his sword skillfully twisted and tried to drop Yuria’s sword from her hand.

It is a sword method that focuses on the change of attack, and it is a method that is so difficult that you do not even know what you have suffered by using the ever-changing fighting method to show various changes.

Rather than directly colliding with Yuria, who was aware of Yuria’s anti-tank technique that deflected Cynthia’s attack, she chose to attack in a way that detached her sword from Yuria’s hand.

It was clear that the other side also obtained information about Yuria to some extent.

‘Not like that!’

Anticipating that her opponent would use this move, Yuria quickly kicked her to the floor and slipped behind her. Thanks to that, David’s sword cut through the air, but from the beginning, Yuria was preparing to fall behind her.

She was a woman, and although she is said to have excellent abilities as a swordsman, she had physical limitations unique to her woman.

Right now, Yuria didn’t look strong even from the outside.

She was tall and slender, and looked moderately healthy as much as she was trained, but she had a well-groomed body line and a plump and attractive chest and buttocks. With her beauty reaching the peak of her beauty, she looked like a woman who had gotten in shape through exercise.

From the beginning, it wasn’t Yuria’s type to fight head-to-head with her own strength.

Because her sword was basically pursuing a fast and accurate swordsmanship.

Bantangi was just a defensive weapon that filled up what she lacked, and that wasn’t absolute either.

‘Opportunity!’

So, Yuria fell behind her and thrust her sword into David’s before he could even prepare.

Ae-Aeng Chae-

Focusing her ki on the tip of her sword and attacking in a thrusting stance, Yuria quickly fell back as soon as she struck her attack.

Unlike the normal podium, the stage for the match was quite wide, so it was possible to hit and run based on mobility because the range of movement was wide.

“Kuk!”

David fell asleep as he grasped Yuria’s way.

“You really have the ability to beat Owen Lawrence!”

In admiration, he straightened his posture again.

It was clear that he was going to seize her chance by targeting the moment Yuria attacked.

‘They’re trying to defend against stabbing attacks.’

Since it was an attack that was strengthened by loading her sword with energy, her thrusting would not be easily defended.

A stabbing attack with a sword may seem less stylish than a powerful slash, but it was a fairly powerful attack and Theodore acknowledged it.

[It’s a stab attack. It’s nice to have a practical side. This method is not bad either.]

I didn’t mean to disparage cutting.

Whether it was just cutting or stabbing, if it suited you, you could use it appropriately.

I didn’t have to cover that up in order to be strong.

And this wasn’t just fighting with pure swordsmanship, it was also freedom to use qi.

‘I don’t have to touch it directly.’

Spreading her distance, Yuria aimed her sword in a straight line with her left arm extended forward and her right elbow extended back.

She had a sharp knife blade close by her beautiful face.

“Haap!”

And the moment Yuria threw her sword forward with great energy, a sharp qi shot out from the tip of her sword forward like an arrow.

“What?!”

David hurriedly moved her sword to parry her attack while being surprised by Yuria’s unexpected attack method.

Of course, her pure power itself was greatly reduced as she flew from a distance rather than a direct sword attack.

But if you can’t defend properly, you’ll be seriously hurt.

It was the same whether they were stabbed with a sharp sword or with a sword loaded with energy.

And “Weak” Means that it is a weak attack at the level of warriors who can handle qi, but it has the power to penetrate even rocks.

Of course, it could penetrate and injure people.

And the most important thing was that David would not be able to properly display his swordsmanship in this situation.

Because his ever-changing swordsmanship was possible only when he was at close range.

“Yes! Student Yuria’s attack! Surprisingly, he put his energy into his sword and shot it like an arrow! I am amazed to see a student show such skill!”

The crowd cheered.

They seemed to think that this confrontation was going to be more fun than they thought.

And at the same time, they don’t want David to fall in vain, and he was looking forward to how he will overcome this situation.

“Sheesh! I can’t!”

After muttering that, I saw David change his posture and come running.

‘This isn’t an ever-changing swordsmanship.’

Yuria realized what he was trying to do.

The method was very simple.

“Ahh!”

Based on muscle strength, he was determined to break Yuria with force by swinging a reinforced sword.

‘Simple but classic.’

Yuria felt that this moment was the turning point in her game.

She was watching and cheering her family as well as other people.

… Sadly, in Lilia’s case, she only looked at Theodore with a sorrowful gaze and seemed uninterested in her match, but anyway, she loved her sister Lilia very much, so she hoped that she would cheer her up a little on the inside.

‘I will definitely win.’

She wants to win, but YuRia calmly waited for an opportunity so as not to make her mistake by focusing only on victory.

And before David unleashes her ever-changing swordsmanship, she too decided to target her unexpected attack.

‘First of all, I’m going to spill it while blocking it as much as possible.’

David would of course think he would avoid it, but Yuria broke his expectations and crossed swords head-on.

Kooung!

Surrounding her ki, Yuria, who managed to reverse her shock with the power of her half-tank ki, noticed that her number had been eaten.

If David had attacked with an ever-changing swordsmanship, she wouldn’t have had much meaning in her half-tank.

But David thinks that Yuria will avoid it and she attacks, and of course she is a fake attack, so she is prepared to switch to an ever-changing swordsmanship.

As a result, as the swords collided with each other, David, who was properly hit by the half-tank period, temporarily widened the gap, and in that situation, Yuria again attacked David unexpectedly.

It was her body that turned like a windmill.

As a result, her long hair hit David’s face, and her sword was placed right in front of David’s neck.

“Kuk!”

With a sword pointed at his throat, David closed his eyes for a moment in pain, then opened them, confirming his defeat.

“I lost. I can’t believe I, who uses a kaleidoscope of swordsmanship, was subjected to an irregular attack.”

David looked very disappointed as if he felt that he had been pushed aside from his main skill. However, he calmly admitted his defeat.

“It was a good fight.”

Yuria greeted him politely.

“Yes, this match is YuRia’s victory!”

The announcer’s declaration of victory was delivered to the audience, and cheers erupted from the audience, signifying that they had seen a proper match this time.

And as Yuria drew her sword, her eyes turned to Theodore, Yuria, and her own family.
