Chapter 40 Could it be that he’s a minor character?

Zeon finally appeared in front of me.

I waited too long for someone who decided have chosen me as an opponent in the mock duel.

Well I guess it’s because it took Zeon a long time to put on his armor.

He was wearing thick full body armor.

Because he was wearing a helmet the same way, I couldn’t see his face well.

『Hmm. It looks very heavy, will he be able to move with that? 』

As Venus said, Zeon’s movements were restricted.

Besides his fat body, the armor must be very heavy.

Even walking here seems quite difficult.

Inside his helmet, harsh breathing could be heard.

[A-Are both of you ready right?]

The instructor also had a “is this really okay?” Face.

The attention of the students draws closer to us.

It is apparently one duel at a time, and others will be able to see it.

Watching the fight should also be part of the training.

[… .Well, you’re already prepared right?]

[Prepared?]

[Exactly. For not obeying my orders]

Zeon said it with heavy breathings.

You don’t need to try so hard, so let’s start this match at once.

As the instructor saw that we were both in agreement, he said “Then let the mock duel begin.

For the moment, I pulled out Venus and positioned myself.

Zeon’s weapon is also a sword.

… ..How will he attack me?

Zeon waved the sword at that moment, although it was clearly out of tune.

As I was thinking about what he was doing, immediately afterwards, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly the blade reached towards me.

I jumped back and dodged it.

[Did the sword grow?]

『Hoo, it seems he have a very interesting sword. It probably has the special effect “expandable” 』

While I was impressed with what Venus was saying, Zeon’s sword just like a whip came again.

Zeon didn’t move from his place at all.

But, skillfully manipulating the handle of the sword, the expandable blade attacked me.

[Hahahaa! What do you think? It’s a very useful sword, isn’t it? This is a whip-sword and it moves freely at my will. Even if I don’t move]

『Ahh, even if you say that, it’s not something easy to handle. It takes time to master it 』

I see.

As expected of a senior grade student from the Knights school.

[And also my custom armor. Vertainly carries considerable weight, but it has enough defense to survive an attack even from a dragon’s claw. You won’t be able to scratch me with that mediocre sword of yours. That means I can attack you one-sidedly!]

『”Mediocre!? Hey Lucas! Smash that armor to pieces and show how amazing I am! 』

Being ridiculed by Zeon, Venus was outraged.

Even though she’s a divine sword, She’s indeed look like an ordinary sword.

[Yes Yes. I guess I’ll try]

[What!?]

I stomped on the ground, and approached Zeon at the same time.

Zeon took gasp as he probably wasn’t expecting my speed.

But, he has that confidence of his absolute defense… ..

[Pff, it’s useless—–]

Before hearing his words, I swung my sword and stepped out from behind Zeon.

[… ..Ha, as expected. It is impossible that with that sword you can’t—-]

CRACK!

[—– do something to this armor—– huh?]

Zeon doesn’t have a single scratch on his body.

It’s because I made sure to cut only the helmet.

Otherwise, it would the outcome would be ugly.

[W-What… ..?]

Zeon opens his eyes and shakes his lips.

[I-It’s impossible…. What did you do!? What kind of trick did you use !?]

[It was just a simple slash]

[That can not be! This helmet is a special order item that can even survives a dragon’s claw! It’s expensive luxury armor unattainable for a commoner like you!]

Even if you tell me that.

Also, I feel sorry for destroying such expensive armor, as long as the whole body is protected with armor, it is obvious that you must handle that armor first.

『Even if he says it can survive an attack from a dragon’s claw, It’s defense was a bit poor. Could he have been scammed by the blacksmith? But he says it was a special request, or is he referring to the point that the armor matches the size of his head and body? 』

Haha, he certainly wouldn’t fit into ordinary armor.

At Venus’s guess, I unexpectedly started laughing.

[What are you laughing about!?]

[Ah, sorry, sorry]

[Kuh… .you are the first to make fun of me up to this point! You’re just a commoner… ..that’s enough, I will no longer have mercy!]

Zeon began swinging the sword around.

The speed was increasing rapidly, to the point of being impossible to see.

I can only hear the sound of the wind being cut.

[Hahahaha! Now you won’t be able to get close to me!]

Zeon laughed triumphantly.

[Whats wrong? You can come closer! If you can!]

Zeon launched provocations.
