Chapter 90 Eh, a surprise move/hidden hand?
βListen. Never mess with that man in the future.β π§π³πππ€β―π£π»π°Ρ΅β―l.cπ¨π
Right now, as if having forgotten the humiliation he received by prostrating himself about an hour ago, the Kisenshou titleholder, Ernte was in one of the rooms of the γMix Householdγβs villa in the suburbs of the Royal Capital speaking to the pair of sisters in front of him.
The main recipient of those words, the elder sister Dee Mix, trembled, and the little sister, Jay Mix answered with a surprised eyebrow raised.
βWhyβs that, Master? That man, heβs a fool who loses himself to anger and shows his hand. I donβt think heβs a threat.β
βImbecile. Do you think that was all of that manβs hidden hand?β
ββ¦β¦But.β
βThink carefully. About when Dee caught that Silvia completely off guard.β
In response to Ernteβs words, Jay remained silent.
After calming down and thinking back on it she recalled, that man named Second was the most composed one at the table, and he used a plate to parry an attack that far from targeting himself was aimed at someone by his side without breaking a sweat. This was a matter completely different from just a simple βfast responseβ.
βDee. Jay. All you should think about is the Kisenshou match. You must not think about ways to retaliate.β
βBut, I canβt just simply back down like this! β
Jay pushed on with her anger, refusing to back down. This was the first time in her life having to prostrate herself. This was arguably the biggest humiliation she received in her short life. It was the same for Dee, aside from making a blunder as the older sister, she was humiliated by that selfish sense of victimhood of which she thought she held no responsibility, which in turn further aggravated her heart.
ββ¦β¦That woman in black and that mysterious spirit. Even now I canβt get a grasp on them. And that man changed his appearance in an instant. I have no idea what sort of skill is or how effective it is. Still, do you think you can win? β
βIn that case, letβs attack under the cover of darkness. With the three of us, I donβt think we can lose.β
βYou donβt get it. Jay, throw away the idea that youβre above him. Always think like a challenger. Pride and carelessness will only get in your way. Knowing how to continuously and strictly controlling yourself is the way of the Kisenshou.β
After finishing his unilateral sermon, Ernte stood up. And then, before leaving, he left them with a single statement.
βThe woman named Silvia has a very slow reaction time. If you face her, crush her in a quick battle.β
This was information he got in exchange for prostrating. Both Dee and Jay replied with a βYes! β, filled with respect.
Nodding in satisfaction, Ernte turned around and left.
β¦β¦The sisters had no way of knowing that there was a severely distorted smile on his face.

The day after shopping trip.
I called Silvia and Eko out to the garden early in the morning. Yes, this is the start of the interpersonal battle training.
βFor now, letβs start with one fight against me. From there, Iβll decide on future plans.β
βUmu. Iβll be in your care.β
βRoger! β
For this, weβll use the βDuel Systemβ instead of the βGame Crownβ. For a duel, one side has to apply and the opponent has to accept it, then it becomes approved. Weβll use the same duel settings as in the Title Matches, when only 1 hp remains, youβll be stunned after receiving a fatal injury.
βLetβs start with you, Silvia.β
ββ¦β¦Umu.β
She seems to be a little nervous.
I couldnβt help but laugh after seeing her saying βRelax, relaxβ, to herself. Saying βAhh, thatβs rightβ, Silvia gave a troubled laugh, then she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slapped her cheeks with both hands while saying βOkay, come! β, bow in hand. This is bad, she doesnβt understand anything.
Well, fineβ¦β¦Shall I?

Second-donoβs gentle expression.
With that thought in my mind, I assumed a battle stance.
But the next momentββSecond-donoβs expression immediately turned into a cold one.
β¦β¦And not even a second after that.
βββEh!! β
Before I knew, an arrow was flying just a few centimeters from my face.
When did he shoot? Whatβs this?γγSoldier Archeryγ?γγRook Archeryγ? I donβt understand.
However, only this I understood. I canβt allow it to hitββMy instincts made that decision. I reflexively bent down, avoiding it at the last moment.
βGuehh.β
The next moment, a tremendous impact reached my head.
Didnβt I avoid it already? No, itβs a follow-up.
βEeeh, aguh, ugahhh.β
A second, a third, a fourthβ¦β¦ I couldnβt avoid them and I kept receiving arrows one after the other. Each one of them was a direct hit to the head, almost as if they were drawn to it.
My brain was shaken. Itβs less painful than I expected. However, I fail to catch the figure of Second-dono.
And then, without being able to do anything in return, I lost consciousness.
βHuhβ¦β¦!? β
Waking up, I understood. This was my loss. And perfectly so.
βI more or less understand.β
Next to me, who was laying on the grown, was Second-donoββMy beloved oneββsaying so with his usual expression, but this was the first time that I saw him and thought βscaryβ.
He could easily kill me whenever he wanted to. Just the same as twisting a babyβs hand.
β¦β¦But I wonder why? At the same time as that fear, I felt a mysterious excitement.
Everything in is his hand. The tremendous pleasure of not resisting this fear, and instead, thrusting myself to it.
I want you to tell me more. I want you to love me more. I canβt contain these emotions from boiling forth. With this strange sense of elation deep inside me, I saw off Second-donoβs back.
And now, the duel against Eko began.
It was similar to mine.
Eko firmly held her shield up in a guarding stance, while Second-dono seemed the same as if he were out for a walk, still, he surely closed their distance.
βKYAAAA! β
One, two, three attacks. More and more attacks kept coming at her.
Even though Eko desperately tried to resist, all of her attacks were answered with parries using γSilver Shieldmanshipγ, and eventually, the damage accumulated on her.
No less than 30 seconds had passed before Eko fainted, making this also Second-donoβs win.
β¦β¦It was too one-sided.
But even then, I thought that she would at least get one hit in. There should indeed be some difference in the status, but the conditions should be the same for both. And speaking of γShieldmanshipγ, Eko should have an advantage in it.
However, she was unable to do anything.
Whatβs different? Whatβs the distinction? The difference between us and Second-dono is too large to comprehend.
βIβll tell you about the plans after eating breakfast.β
Can this gap be filled in the future? If so, what kind of plans, what kind of training will be able to accomplish that?
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦Umu! β
I can help but be interested.
And deep in my heart, I felt like something starting to burn up.
οΌγοΌγοΌ
Pre-match problems.
β¦β¦This is the conclusion Iβve drawn.
Neither Silvia nor Eko had the spirit of winning, I couldnβt feel it from them.
Are they afraid of death? Or pain? Or do they just not want to fight? I donβt understand.
Actually, do they really want to win the Title in the first place?
If theyβre doing this half-heartedly, they should stop. The battle against these two was so terrible I had to reconsider.
βAt this rate, let alone the Title, youβll lose the first match.β
Since there was no point in hiding it, I told them this straight.
The two of them nodded with an expression of βI knew itβ, and then slowly opened their mouths.
βMine and Ekoβs feelings are already settled.β
βI, want to fight. In the Title match. I want to make everyone in the village, happy.β
βUmu, I want to participate too. In particular, I canβt afford to lose to that Dee Mix.β
Unexpectedly, their determination was quite firm.
I seeβ¦β¦Well, letβs tell them the plans.
βFor the remaining time, Iβll have you learn as many βsurprise strategiesβ as possible. The fundamentals? The common practices? Fuck them. Okay? You girls are weak. And since youβre helplessly weakβ¦β¦This will be a bet, become an explosive contestant, make some noise, give it your all.β
The original plan was to teach them thoroughly from the fundamentals. The precise changes in battle that exist in each skill, the βFundamentalsβ, how to effectively connect each skill, the βMovesβ, and the decisive factor in the final stage of the game, the βCheck Mateβ. I wanted them to memorize all the PVP knowledge I have, engrave them into their bodies, and train in a way so that they move without being conscious of it.
But. With the current situation, these two will certainly lose their first match if I teach them starting from the basics since weβve only got three weeks. Thereβs also the next season for them, which I personally donβt mind, but Iβm not sure these two will agree to that.
That being the case. Iβve got no choice but to use the βSaddle hand/γγ‘ζβ surprise tactic.
Strictly speaking, this is a PvP surprise attack method in which the attacked side is at an advantage if not dealt with firmly.
But from my experience so far, Iβm expecting that nobody in this world would be able to perfectly deal with a surprise attack the first time they see it. The reason behind this is because I donβt believe the people in this world know the exact response to this kind of surprise strategy at all.
And with this hidden ace called surprise attack, thereβs the possibility that they can even one-shot the enemy.
At least so long as the opponent hasnβt enough accumulated experience. Falling into an unexpected and terrifying situation, their mind would be in a huge turmoil, and the impatience will make it so that they receive that attack. You only need to disturb their pace, but once thatβs done, you can control the flow. This is the main aim.
I feel a bit bad for the other contestants for using this, but Iβd like for them to try again next season after learning from this.
βA surprise attack strategy? Fumu, exactly what I wanted.β
βSurpriγΌse, supriseγΌ! β
Both Silvia and Eko seem to be on board.
Nice.
βLetβs start the special training.β
οΌγοΌγοΌ
A man entered the Royal Capital, Vinceton.
He came twice a year. And in this season, this man never failed to visit the city.
The manβs name was Rothman.
He was in his mid-forties. A middle-aged man with short black hair, slightly receding hairline, a medium physique, slightly wrinkled eyes, and an unpleasant sharp gaze.
Everyone called him βIssenzaβ.
βIβve been waiting for you, Rothman Issenza.β
The one greeting him was a large man with a height of two meters.
βOhh, Gram-kun, itβs been a while. Did you quit using that big sword? β
βYeah. It had its flaws.β
The knight Gram belonged to the Second Knight Order. He took responsibility for the previous civil war and left the position of vice-captain; he now served as a rank-and-file soldier doing free labor for the Kingdom of Castall. The reason why his punishment was this light was because of his virtues. ππ§β―πππππ»πΡ΅π¦π.com
Also, he was one of the participants of the Issenza match this winter.
βI see. And I wonder where you found that wisdom.β
βFrom one interesting guy.β
βOh, my, my, I canβt waitβ¦β¦β
Even Gram with his large body was scared seeing that slight smile in Rothmanβs face.
Rothman had been holding the title of Issenza for more than 20 years now. Everyone was aware of his ability. And Gram, who used to cross swords with him in the past knew this more than anyone.
βI wonder if itβs going to be boring this season?β
He had the face of looking very much forward to this.
However, Gram also seemed to look forward to it. The reason was, it was hard for him to imagine what kind of deadly fight would that man have against this Rothman Issenza.
βIt might be difficult this season.β
Rothman laughed inside while Gram muttered to himself.
