237 – Everyone has regrets

While they were looking at each other with expressionless expressions, it was Viola who raised an eyebrow first.

‘The more I think about it, the funnier it gets.’

There is a significant age difference between the child and the child standing against him. Because Plan was old enough to attend the academy and listen to lectures.

However, no matter how young he is, it is difficult to dismiss the words he spoke as ‘immature words from his past’. Flan will now have to take responsibility for his words.

“There are no excuses or excuses before a knight’s sword.”

Viola twirled her sword once.

“If she ever said something like that, she would regret it. No, to be exact, there won’t even be time to regret it.”

Since Viola was the most likely candidate for her hero, she could see that each word she said carried corresponding weight.

“Regret….”

Although the person involved, Plan, was calm.

“I have never regretted anything in my life.”

“Well, all humans live with regrets.”

Viola, who had been fiddling with her sword, soon tightened her grip on the handle of her sword to the point where it made a crunching sound.

Looking at Flan’s strangely calm appearance, I feel strange as we keep seeing each other.

Viola was not simply hot-tempered. She was proud of her own skills and had done a lot of training and meditation without breaking her composure.

But there is just one thing.

Flan’s eyes. It was quite annoying because it looked at Viola, the monk, as if she were just a speck of dust.

‘There’s no way my common sense was wrong.’

Yes, no matter how much you think about it, Viola’s common sense cannot be wrong. Common sense tells us, if the knowledge she had was false, how could she have gotten to this point?

‘But then….’

However, because of that knowledge, Viola felt even more uncomfortable. Another thing in Flan’s eyes right now is….

‘Eyes looking down.’

It was ridiculous, but it was clearly an eye looking down.

Like a predator looking at its prey.

Just as the strong look down on the weak.

Just as a wise man looks at an uncivilized person who has not yet gained insight.

Plan had Viola in those eyes.

Viola knew. A look like that cannot be caused by an illusion or misunderstanding. Those are the eyes you can only have if you truly feel that you are superior to the other person.

“Flan.”

Viola quietly chanted her partner’s name.

“You need to know who I am.”

“You are no different in the end.”

“Hmm?”

Because the answer was unexpected, Viola unconsciously twitched one of her eyebrows.

“At first, everyone thought I didn’t understand the other person. “In reality, it’s not like that at all.”

“….”

“Viola, I already know you for sure.”

Viola’s composure, which could be compared to a quiet lake, slowly began to ripple.

Flan wasn’t saying anything threatening, but his every word was like a huge rock that could overturn the entire lake.

Plan continued speaking calmly.

“I know you can’t defeat me.”

His gaze briefly glanced at Viola’s wrist.

“Even if a surprise attack was planned.”

Viola looked a little surprised.

‘Read your wrist movements?’

In fact, even reading the movements was quite absurd. This is because Viola was maintaining an almost immobile posture.

So, in other words, Plan saw minute movements that could not be observed with the ordinary naked eye.

Viola thought for a moment about how to react. She swallowed dry saliva, pondered, and finally parted her lips, but Flan’s next words were faster.

“Let’s begin. “I’m getting tired of the conversation.”

Viola finally laughed out loud.

‘The mindset is already that of a hero.’

In fact, we need to be more careful.

It is true that not all those who walk like kings become kings, but it is also true that they are given the opportunity to become kings at least once.

As we play against Plan, what kind of style should we take in the game? Viola had been very worried about him.

And now that we’ve talked to each other a lot, Viola seemed to know very well what to do in this game.

‘There is nothing we can do even if people say we have exceeded the limit. ‘Flan must die here.’

A transparent aura began to rise from Viola like a haze. As her pure white hair floated into the air and fluttered, it seemed as if a page of countless sheet music was being turned.

The treble clef engraved on the viola’s retina had a golden brightness.

“Yes. Let’s begin. “The game will be even more boring.”

With that, Viola regained her composure.

As Flan began to raise his mana, an unusual air current began to swirl inside the stadium.

Even though the audience was full and there was not a single empty seat, silence fell. If someone was breathing heavily, it seemed like everyone here could hear it.

In the midst of her tightly pulled thread-like tension, it was Viola who stepped forward, confidently breaking it.

Whoop!

Viola stabbed her sword without any preparation.

It was okay to at least say what she would do before attacking her first, but Viola targeted Flan’s vital point without saying anything.

She truly intended to kill Flan on this spot.

“Oh!”

“Uh… !”

A beat later, an exclamation erupts from the audience.

Although they could not follow or observe with the naked eye how Viola’s sword moved, everyone had a vague idea that Viola had made a very threatening attack.

And everyone also understood that the attack contained her enormous power and tremendous ominousness.

Pak!

But what followed was a dull sound. Suddenly, a stream of mana rose from the ground and hit Viola’s wrist.

Huuuk!

The five sword trajectories stretched out in a straight line, like a staff line drawn on a piece of music called the air, but because they hit the wrist, they all became blind attacks.

Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!

Five lines were drawn on the ground on the other side of the missed attack. It looked like the claws of a wild beast, and it also looked like sheet music.

Now Viola has just attacked once.

“… !”

But the people in the stadium felt thrilled.

I couldn’t understand the details as invisible attacks were being exchanged, but the fact that ‘attacks of a level I couldn’t dare to understand’ were coming and going was enough reason to be amazed.

“….”

The representatives of the Faculty of Magic also kept silent with serious expressions.

They also faced guard knights and capital knights. I even felt proud of myself because I achieved great results, such as a win or a draw….

‘It’s different.’

‘They say this is real.’

‘It’s hard to even understand.’

As soon as the game starts, thoughts like this fill my head. There was no time to think about why. My body realized that this was an instinctive alarm.

At some point, the thoughts that were bouncing around in confusion merged into one. With a very strong heart.

‘I want to see and learn more in detail!’

And the moment the representatives of the Faculty of Magic thought so, their wish came true. Viola, who unfortunately failed in the first attack, immediately started the next attack.

Huuung!

Let’s go!

It only felt like Viola’s shoulder moved slightly, but the sound of Plan’s shield and the sword hitting each other rang out almost simultaneously.

Each time the sword is swung, a blow with five times the range and power is delivered.

Those watching were amazed by that alone and had to vomit, but Plan calmly continued his defense and said.

“Viola.”

Viola’s gaze turned to Flan.

“If this is your best, your end will be pretty ugly.”

Viola’s expression became more stern.

My heart was not shaken by Flan’s remarks flowing through my eardrums. But what really bothers me is….

Huh!

It was Flan’s magic that blocked Viola’s attack so easily. The mana current was controlling many things in an invisible area, so it was like a “Space” In itself.

Swordsmanship and magic.

Although the fields are different, wouldn’t you see some similarities when you reach a high level?

Therefore, it was clearly visible to Viola. Plan’s calm breathing, composure in using his power, and calculation ability to judge the situation very quickly.

‘You…’ . What….’

A question mark began to settle in Viola’s mind.
