"What......" Seeing Loggins once again knocked to the ground by himself, Helliga rolled his eyes helplessly. This guy's strength is probably equivalent to the level of Estelle before he turned positive, and he was already a master among his peers. It's a pity that after inheriting all the power of the dragonborn, even without considering all kinds of messy and strange abilities, just talking about the swordsmanship itself, Helliga has already reached a fairly high level. Although Tamriel's swordsman genre does not have a corresponding genre in Semuria, Loggins may have just suffered too much and didn't know enough about his opponent.

After all, he himself could easily be seen to be using court swordsmanship among the nobles of the empire.

Of course, complaining in his heart is complaining, and Heiliga didn't put these words on his lips. It's just an ordinary exchange, and you can't talk badly about each other.

"Whew...... Is Helliga a junior...... It's really a great swordsmanship. Loggins was knocked to the ground again and again, but he didn't have any sense of chagrin, but was amazed, "What kind of swordsmanship is this?" Never seen ...... It shouldn't be the Empire. ”

"The grasp of one-handed swordsmanship is very precise...... But the other hand didn't work much? The hidden boss, who is far stronger than Loggins, has always been used as a vase, but Freda, who is really powerful, saw something strange, "What's going on?" Is it deliberately left behind? ”

It's a pretty frightening reality. If it is said that Loggins, the best of his peers, can be beaten with just one hand, then what if both hands are involved in the fight?

"Nope. Let me answer Senior Roggins' question first...... This swordsmanship is a combination of techniques I learned from the masters I met along the way during my travels around the continent - although it was difficult in itself, but fortunately I was able to get the guidance of my father's best friend, the "Sword Maker of Light" and the "Sword Fairy...... In order to have this somewhat strange swordsmanship. "Heliga can't tell the truth, so he can only make up a few random reasons for the past.

"I remember that your family is also a nobleman, right? So young to be able to go out and travel, your father...... His Excellency the Viscount is really enlightened enough. And there are two teachers like that......" Rogins' tone was full of envy and appreciation, "hey, I took it...... Be completely convinced. ”

The actual battle brings more improvement than the practice behind closed doors, and a few good leaders can make the path of kendo go more smoothly. Loggins deeply understands this truth, so he didn't care too much about his defeat, but admitted that his opponent was better than him.

Seeing this scene, Allen's eyes seemed to become a little dazed, and he seemed to have a thoughtful feeling.

Helliga and Freda, the female president of the fencing club, glanced at each other and smiled imperceptibly. Obviously, this hidden master has already noticed some clues, and she is naturally happy to do it, sending an assist.

"Speaking of which...... I'm sorry, Alan. I didn't expect you to fall out with the club, so you stopped being a member. Heliga whispered to Allen, "This must be embarrassing to you, isn't it?" Should I give you some compensation? ”

"Ah......? Oh, no. Alan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly waved his hand and said, "There is nothing wrong with the seniors...... It's ...... myself."

"If you want me to say, you're fine." Loggins has recovered at this moment, "Didn't you just get a few taunts from Patrick in the game?" No matter what that guy says, he is also the eldest young master of the Hain family. There's nothing to be ashamed of if you can't compare to him. ”

"Hmm......" Rogins' words hit Allen's sore spot. The latter did not say a word.

"Is that really the case......" His words and Allen's reaction made Helliga completely understand the cause and effect of the matter, "That's why you're hiding from Patrick?" ”

"Although I thought about the possibility before." Freda shook her head, "But I didn't expect it...... Hey, not noticing the emotions of the team members is also a dereliction of duty......"

“…… I don't know what the hell you're struggling with, Alan. After a moment's thought, Rogins showed a serious expression: "But if you are affected by Patrick's words after losing to him...... You don't have to. As I said earlier, he is also a nobleman who has received all kinds of training since he was a child...... There is absolutely no shortage of guidance from famous teachers and experts from all walks of life. It's not so much that you're losing to him, it's about losing to him and all the resources that have sustained him to where he is today – even talent needs someone to guide him in order to be effective. ”

"Ah......h

"yes...... This guy is not wrong. The reason why he didn't care about the defeat just now was just because he knew that the opponent he was facing was honed little by little in real battles compared to himself who grew up in a greenhouse, and Helliga also had the guidance of two of the world's most famous martial artists - his defeat was a matter of course. His choice is to continue to work hard to make sure that he can get stronger little by little...... Instead of blaming yourself, you put extra pressure on yourself. ”

"Although, there are people in this world who have extraordinary talents...... Such an impassable mountain. Of course, he wasn't referring to himself who had been chosen by luck, but to a true genius like Levy, adding, "Compared to someone like that, there is indeed a deep sense of powerlessness...... But before you get to that point and meet an opponent like that, it doesn't seem like a good idea to put yourself in the position of a loser and vent your emotions wantonly, right? ”

"Hmm......" The pain and self-blame in Allen's eyes turned into deep thought.

He has an unspeakable inferiority complex not only because he lost to Patrick, who easily defeated him, but also because of his verbal mockery. It's because of the former childhood sweetheart who hasn't seen him for a long time, but reunited under the arrangement of coincidence and fate - Brecht.

The Brecht family is the barons of the Empire, but because the head of the house has a cheerful personality and does not care about small issues such as class differences, he has no problem with his daughter Brecht playing with the neighbor's civilian boy Allen. But later, for some reasons, the two had to separate, until they met again in this school, Alan was surprised to find that the ordinary little girl back then had now grown into a real lady - whether it was grades, upbringing, or strengths, including appearance - Allen was very surprised. However, at the same time, I was surprised, but I also felt a sense of alienation caused by the other party's over-excellence.

In addition, the class antagonism within the empire that he felt along the way when he grew up made his sense of alienation even worse. So when Brecht greeted him happily, for some reason he refused very coldly.

I don't deserve her - such thoughts have always haunted Allen.

From then until now.
