Count Scribe's Tutor

The life the Grand Master decides and breathes.

How would you feel if you received it head-on?

Definitely not in a pleasant mood. I used to be careless in a friendly duel with the noble disciples in the past, but I fell unconscious without one exception.

It was the same on the battlefield. When I wrote to the enemy's sorcerer, it was a fleeting moment, but my body was stiff. And this split the winnings and losses. The Grand Master's life was so terrifying.

‘But · · · · · · ·. ’

The young man in front of him was different. I didn't feel stiff or pale. All I have to do is stand there and face the Duke.

At that moment, the Duke of Setier realized:

How the young man stood still.

‘That's right. You're giving up your life. ’

So, of course, you don't have to be affected.

It is unusual. The duc's mouth slithers.

‘If so · · · · · · · · ·. ’

What if we could live a more intense life, inevitably?

The Duke began to pour out an unprecedented amount of life.

However, Ferda's condition remained unchanged.

The duc's eyes glint with strong interest. None of the people I've encountered have ever had this reaction.

“Duke. ”

Then, Ferda opens her mouth.

Zachman's eyes then look at the Duke's face.

“I want to make a deal, too. ”

“Condition?”

“Yes, it's not fun to just fight. ”

Is that what you're interested in?

The Duke has taken a life that he used to spill. Then I stared at him as if to tell me something. Ferda smiled and replied.

“Why don't you grant the winner a wish? ”

It's called making a bet.

However, the duc showed an egg.

“Well, I'm sorry, but it's going to be difficult. ”

The duc shakes his head with a dark face.

Then he suddenly pointed to Ferda and himself alternately.

“It's unfair to think about each other's identities. Isn't that right?"

Duke Setier is the most powerful man in the upper right-hand kingdom, except for the royal family. He was also a man who received the respect of many knights of the realm.

Ferda, on the other hand, is nothing. Neither noble nor wealthy nor powerful. He didn't come from a knight, so he couldn't have been honored.

But they're willing to bet on each other's wishes?

It was unfair, but too unfair. So the duc coldly refused.

But Ferda's smile did not go away. He still opens his mouth with a smiling face.

“Then I'll start with my wish. ”

“· · · · · · Are you listening to me? ”

The duc looks baffled in his audacity.

But Ferda spoke without hesitation.

“I'm going to ask the Duke a favor. ”

“So I still accept the offer. ”

“My request is not political, it's not solicitation, it's not assassination. In a way, it's a favor for this kingdom. ”

In response, the duc shuts up.

I think I'm interested in your low sparkling eyes. Facing this, Ferda sets fire to the Duke's interest.

“And that's something only you can do. ”

When he finished, the duc touched his chin.

However, the concern was not long. The duc smiles as if it's funny.

“That makes me suddenly curious. ”

I don't know what the exact details of the request are. But it didn't seem like too much to ask. The duc asked while drawing a hose on his mouth.

“You're not gonna tell me what to do? ”

“Yes, you wouldn't believe me if I told you now. ”

I knew it. The duc nods as if he knows.

Then the strange expectations were spoken with a young face.

“Good. If I win, then." ”

“I don't care if it's about the lord. ”

The duc's face brightens.

Seeing his bright face, he had a wish in mind. But Ferda soon said, the Duke's face darkened in a flash.

“If you ask for a duel, there are fewer than 10 times. ”

“No, I don't think so! ”

The duc's composure is broken.

Ferda sighs in relief as she looks at him on the road.

When I saw the brightly bitten Duke's face, I suddenly remembered what Yoo Baek Hyun said.

If you've read my passage thoroughly, Duke Setier is a madman in battle. Therefore, it is best to place a limit on the number of matches when placing bets with him or asking each other. Otherwise, you'll get tired just like me.

In the 8th round, Yoo Baek Hyun made several mistakes.

When he made a deal with the Duke of Setier to gain power in the kingdom, he did not put a limit on the number of times he asked for it. As a result, Yoo Baek Hyun clashed his sword with the Duke of Setier a day away.

‘That was a close call. ’

It was time to sweep Ferda's surprised heart away.

Duke Setier sighs deeply. Blaming himself for not telling me what he wished for sooner. Ferda, who was watching this, once again spoke to me.

“What would you do? ”

“Nine times. ”

The duc spread all fingers except his left thumb.

Then he smiled confidently.

“Be prepared to challenge me nine times. ”

Ferda smiled, too, in response.

After accepting the offer, there was no need for a conversation between the two.

The duc picks up the sword of the moonlight from the training ground. A well-forged sword at a glance. Facing this, Ferda draws the Arcane's bannerman.

Whoo-hoo!

A dazzling Mana is wrapped in the Duke's sword. The Grand Master boasts of light. Ferda has also produced a seemingly similar error. After finishing preparing for battle, the gaze of the two men got tangled in the air.

This time it was different from the banquet hall. No one gave in to the preliminaries.

Instead, no one hit the ground first.

A straight shot.

Kuaaaaang!

With a loud explosion, dirt splashes from the floor of the arena. Suddenly, the vision was blurred, but it was completely unobstructed for both of them.

Boom! Kuaang!

A chain explosion in which a Mana with a different temperament collides.

Every time the sword hits, my hands are numb. However, the smile did not leave their mouths. It was only because of the tension that only the enemy could feel. Then suddenly there was a voice.

[Oh, what? What are you fighting for?]

It was Frank, the sword in the Arcane's scepter.

Frank exclaims in a excited voice.

[With a fight like this, I can lend you my true power!]

Real power?

When I was surprised by the sudden sound, there was a slight sense of weight in the arcane's rhetoric. And in one subsequent collision, Ferda realized what had changed.

‘Vibration. ’

The tremors caused by the collision have vanished everywhere.

It may seem trivial at some point, but it was a lot more than I thought. We can save time for the afterstorms. With this, Ferda was able to create a gap in her resistance.

[I'll absorb all the Mana explosions, so don't worry and fight!]

Ferda grins as she hears Frank say.

Then he starts pressuring the duc slowly, but clearly. And did he notice this kind of change? The duc bursts into a cheerful smile.

“Hahaha! You're finally relaxed! ”

Without knowing Frank's existence, it was natural to be so mistaken.

The duc then swung his sword hard and pushed Ferda away. At the same time, you step back and pick up your pre-prepared shield. It's a small triangle shield that barely covers your face.

“I'm really going, too. ”

I'm afraid that's over.

The odds of Duke Setyr's power have changed.

A much more blatant life than the one you just spilled. I just had a change in energy, but the place also felt strange.

I feel like I'm on the battlefield.

Ferda raises the tension of the whole body extremely high. It's because I thought something strange would happen. Soon after, the duc held up his triangle shield and fixed the sword at an angle.

Then he declared with certainty.

“A sword I've dedicated my entire life to. ”

Signal the terrifying power.

In the blink of an eye, the distance narrows.

“Take a look. ”

Even if I whispered in my ear, I was incredibly close.

Immediately, the Grand Master and Duke of Setier's unique sword unfolded.

Huff! Huff! Kaga Gaga!

A sword in perfect harmony with its shield. Ferda became increasingly obsessed with the clamor that followed.

Then, for a moment, Ferda's reflexes disappeared.

The duc's eyes flashed fiercely as he felt it.

‘Same as before. ’

The duc quickly remembered the duel at the banquet hall and took up defensive positions. If you feel a march or a march, you can fight back at any time.

‘I won't let my guard down this time. ’

The Duke's face is filled with resolutions.

But unlike before, Ferda did not carry out a surprise attack. Instead, I pushed the ground as far away as I could.

It wasn't just backing away. I literally didn't look back. Distance too far to catch up. The duc, who realized it later, cried out as if it was a madness.

“No, why are you suddenly running away? Get my sword! ”

“Am I crazy? How do you deal with that? ”

Ferda insists on a bold tone.

That sword was a sand dune. The more you struggle to get rid of it, the more you can't escape. However, closing the gap to counter, the shield doesn't make it easy.

So you use the Hyde Walkers to escape.

‘First we have to do something about that shield. ’

There was a way to think about it. Then the duc shouts again.

“Don't you think you're a coward?! ”

“If you win, that's it. I'm an assassin.”

The duc looks stunned as if he had lost his words.

But for a moment, something swiftly flew towards him.

Boom!

You block it with a shield, but the left hand remains devastated.

What the hell did you throw? Did he throw a weapon? I looked away thinking that.

However, the object that fell from the shield was more common than I expected.

“· · · · · · · Stones? ”

Half-broken rock.

How could you throw something so shocking? When the duc is in a state of panic, the rocks attack in succession.

Boom, boom, boom! Kuang!

Of course, none of them were hit. He took them all out with his shield. However, the shield cracked as the impact builds up. Then the duc realized what Ferda was up to.

Pa!

The duc is swarming with dirt.

The stone was not stopped. The shield appears to be broken, so you dodge it or thrust it away with your sword.

Meanwhile, as the streets narrowed, did he panic?

Unlike the first time, some rocks are stuck to the ground without ever touching the duc. Seeing the distance getting narrower, the duc prepares to attack.

At that moment.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Ferda turns. Then rushed to the duc at a rapid pace.

Narrowed down in no time.

About five steps away, Ferda throws the last of the stones.

Whoo-hoo!

Too close to avoid.

Then the duc raises his shield. I assumed the distance wouldn't be so strong. But this was the duc's idea.

Quadruck!

“Huff!”

The shield shatters with a single scream.

Unlike his predictions, power was the same as when he threw it from afar. Meanwhile, there is a gap, and Ferda does not miss it.

The fierce stabbing scepter.

The duc managed to draw Ferda's attack with his sword close to his face.

Kaga Gaga!

However, Ferda did not even close the streets. Perfect interval to use a scepter, but too close to wield a longsword.

Using this, Ferda begins to spread her blindness.

Kang! Kang Kang!

The scabbard and longsword collide relentlessly.

Looks like a match at first glance, but Ferda had the advantage. It was because of the short interval. Whether the duc was aware of this, he only took a peek at the opportunity to spread the distance.

But that's when.

Suddenly, Ferda's existence faded. Obviously, even though it was right in front of me, it started to fade away. Soon, even the blade's trajectory became blurred, and the duc opened his eyes as if he had realized something.

‘This! ’

The mysterious cover-up we showed you earlier.

A trick to use it again. The duc bites his lip tightly. Then, instead of opening up the distance, I put my whole body to rest. The Longsword is then held as close to the body as possible to defend itself.

But this was also the duc's practice.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Ferda's movements have not disappeared. It's just faded.

With his attacks on his arms and legs, the duc loosens his defenses later. Then, when I changed the sword to get rid of the sword.

Knng!

Suddenly, the left hand grabs the duc's collar.

Face-to-face with the peacock with his eyes wide open.

Ferda pushes him with all her might. The duc is somewhat pushed back due to his weight. But at that moment, regardless of his will, he leaned back on his own.

“What, what?! ”

The moment I stepped back, the starry ground disappeared.

I didn't use magic. Why did the ground suddenly go out? When I turned my gaze in embarrassment, I saw something in his vision.

A recessed hole right behind your heel.

Earlier, I was a hole made by a stone that missed the duc.

‘No way! ’

You predicted this would happen and made a hole?

It wasn't too much of a guess. Given that he was an assassin and the accuracy of the stone at the beginning, it was a reasonable guess.

The duc's face twists in horror. The unbelieving eyes turned to Ferda. Then, a penitent smile appeared on his lips.

It's as if the duc's words are the right answer.

Kuang!

The unbalanced Duke falls behind.

The razor-sharp scepter then slashes the duc's cheek. Then a rough, stuffy scaffold on the floor. Ferda grins, facing the duc's dazzling eyes.

“I won, Mr. President. ”

With a word of victory.

The intestine suddenly became silent.
