Everyone Said They Were My Lover in a Dream - Everyone Said They Were My Lover in a Dream chapter 9

Swordsmanship Class (2)

“Bisus Granquinal, come forward.”

At the professor’s call, Bisus had no choice but to step forward.

The position that the protagonist was originally supposed to take.

Bisus looked back at Jenis, who had been the protagonist of Eclipse, but he only cheered Bisus on, saying, “Fighting!”

I don’t know.

Just go out there, lose, and come back, that’s all.

Bisus, the eldest son of the prestigious Shraigue family, a renowned swordsmanship clan.

He was still far from gaining true power, and he was not a match for Naverda.

The fact that the protagonist defeated Naver was an inexplicable anomaly, making it an episode that gained popularity in the early stages of the novel.

Even if he loses here, it’s not that big of a deal.

From the start, I was in a position of not knowing much about swordsmanship, and Shraige is already a completed inspector.

It’s okay to lose once if it means getting Sofia’s attention.

“Both students, take hold of the practice swords and assume your positions.”

But does it hurt?

I don’t like being in pain.

Isn’t it a problem that the professor allows a newbie like me to spar with such a skilled person?

Even if I’m a freshman, there’s an obvious difference. What if something happens during this match?

In the end, Vissus, who had given up on everything, grasped the sword placed in front of him.

“Huh?”

And in that moment, Vissus’s body felt lighter, and a sense of omnipotence filled him.

This feeling… like in a dream…!

Vissus felt familiarity.

The power he felt in his dream last night.

He realized that the power he had used to slaughter demons and fly around was within him.

It wasn’t at the same level as creating a sword aura and releasing sword energy, but about half of it was within himself.

“Get ready!”

The professor raised his hand.

Naber took hold of the sword and assumed his stance, but Vissus just stood there absentmindedly.

This won’t work.

Genis knew Vissus’s abilities.

He was a precious friend to Jenice, who wanted to be good at swordsmanship but had no talent whatsoever.

Because he was a friend who had asked Jenice to teach him swordsmanship, Jenice hoped that Biserus would become better at it.

So when she encountered him in the swordsmanship class, she was also glad, thinking that she would teach him swordsmanship.

But of all things, it was a duel with Shralig.

All Jenice could hope for was that her friend would not be defeated in this duel.

“Now can you see the skills of men of high status?”

“Just by looking, he’s a weakling who doesn’t know how to hold a sword.”

“That’s Shralig. There’s no way he can win.”

“I didn’t like the fact that he was enchanted by the Holy Maiden and the Princess, but I guess I can see him in a pathetic state.”

“And his status is so low.”

Jenice heard the voices of male students who were jealous of her friend.

Men’s jealousy is despicable.

Stay strong, Biserus.

Kwoong

Biserus unsheathed his sword.

That…!

“Oh. So you’re still willing to give it a try.”

“Are you going to show off in front of the girls? You may just be a delicate candy with an empty core.”

“Shralig! Teach that parasite a lesson!”

No, it’s not just about showing off.

Jenith was taken aback by Virthus’ stance.

A stance that could only be taken by someone who has swung their sword tens of thousands of times!

At least a level higher than Shralig!

What happened, Virthus?

“Begin!”

As the duel began, Navar charged towards Virthus.

Navar swiftly attacked, swinging his sword.

If it were the usual Virthus, he wouldn’t have even reacted and would have been pushed back.

But…

Clang!

Virthus easily deflected the attack.

“This is unbelievable!”

“Shralig’s attack?”

And the students who witnessed this scene were astonished.

“I-It must be luck!”

“Yeah, it’s just a coincidence!”

No, it’s not a coincidence.

As a top-tier sword expert, Jenith could tell.

Virthus effortlessly deflected Shralig’s attack.

If Virthus had wanted to, he could have easily sent Shralig’s sword flying with a single strike and claimed victory.

What just happened was more of a leniency than a stroke of luck.

Chapter 2

The clash of swords began between Secretarys and Schreig.

Baldric, who was watching the scene up close, was amazed.

Is this really the level of academy freshmen?

Even among the Schreig family, he was considered the most talented this year.

But to be overshadowed by this genius!

Secretarys Grandguignol!

Even I can’t fully grasp the intricacies of his swordsmanship.

His physical abilities may not be exceptional, but his swordsmanship far surpasses that of a student!

Perhaps he is beyond my expectations!

However, despite having plenty of opportunities to win, he continues without finishing the match.

Does he want to hide his skills?

But it feels like he is becoming more accustomed to real combat.

What is this guy!

From Noble mtl dot com

Naber Schreig was taken aback.

At first, he intended to condemn him.

How dare he lose and gain the attention of the beautiful saint.

The saint is a pure person.

She is someone who does not keep any man by her side to worship the gods.

The reason you paid attention to that insignificant guy is probably because he did something strange!

As a knight of justice, he planned to condemn the villain and dedicate his victory to the saint.

He thought he could easily win when the opponent stood there dumbfounded with a sword in hand.

But instead, he was pushed back!

There was no sign of a path to victory.

It felt like he was facing his father.

Even though the opponent was smaller in stature, Naver felt like he was facing a mountain.

Chaeng!

As Naver’s strength waned in the face of dozens of exchanges, his sword flew behind him and stuck.

Did I… lose?

Thud.

Naver remained seated in his spot.

“The winner! Secretary Granqui!”

Baldric raised his hand high, declaring Granqui’s victory.

Granqui reached out his hand to Naver.

“What?”

Naver was bewildered.

I called him here with the intention of humiliating him… and yet, he respects me?

Extending a hand to a fallen opponent in a duel is an act of utmost respect.

Although the opponent and I have equal abilities, it was an action akin to saying I only won by luck.

Considering that most knights not only defeat their opponents in a duel but also mock them, it was shocking to Navarre.

Navarre couldn’t imagine that his opponent, who didn’t seem to know the rules of the duel, would behave like a sport he had seen in his previous life.

Meanwhile, Vercus was in a state of confusion.

What happened?

Why am I here?

“Congratulations, Vercus!”

“Your swordsmanship was amazing, Vercus!”

“Hey, Vercus! When did you become so strong?”

Returning to his seat, Artoria, Sophia, and Genesis greeted him, but he couldn’t regain his composure.

“Of course, it’s Vercus! Your swordsmanship was so cool!”

“Hmph. It’s only natural. Vercus was already a strong person who could defeat the Demon King with me, so this is nothing special!”

A strong person who could defeat the Demon King?

Vercus realized that the swordsmanship he used was similar to the one his body had used in his dreams.

Did I… gain the power from my dreams?

To have defeated Navarre with this weak body…

It wouldn’t make sense otherwise.

Why?

He was still confused.

But the reason doesn’t matter much.

The fact that I gained power is what’s important.

Viscus recalled the magnificent sight he had seen in his dream.

It’s like they’re saying I can achieve something like that if I grow too.

This…do you like it?

* * *

“I’ll go in now! See you tomorrow!”

“I’ll go too. Have a good night, Viscus.”

After finishing all the classes, Artoria and Sophia, who had eaten together until evening, left.

“Ugh, it was a tiring day.”

Genis yawned while looking at Viscus.

“That’s right.”

Viscus was even more tired because of Artoria and Sophia, who constantly clashed in front of him, despite the new power he had acquired and the headaches from sparring.

It’s nice that they both like me, but isn’t their jealousy too much?

If I mess up, my body might split in two.

“So, Viscus. Where did you learn that swordsmanship? Why did you become so strong!”

“As I said earlier, I don’t know either. It just happened unconsciously.”

“If it just happens, then why can’t I do it!”

“You’re strong too. What are you talking about.”

Genis, who was staggering, lost his balance and stumbled over a stone on the roadside.

Normally, Viscus wouldn’t react, but his supernaturally transformed body moved forward and caught Genis before he fell.

Thud

But one hand ended up supporting Janice’s chest.

Boing

Janice’s face turned bright red.

“I, I’m sorry! I accidentally grabbed your chest.”

Bisus, who knows Janice’s true identity, momentarily panicked and let go of her hand.

“T-Thank you, but touching a man’s chest feels weird! Ahahahaha… I’m not into guys, you know.”

Janice laughed awkwardly.

Bisus could only be flustered.

Because Janice, the protagonist of the novel [Eclipse], is not the center of a harem novel focused on a male protagonist.

It’s a yuri novel with a cross-dressing woman as the protagonist.
