Becoming a Witch in Another World
Chapter 85: The Sword Duel
The next morning on one of the islands on the first floor of Arcana, Richard and I faced each other with an ordinary sword in both of our hands.
"Thank you Aksa for listening to my request, I want to grow stronger by fighting people stronger than me."
"I'm not that strong, but it's fine to do a match practice like this."
We both made the horses before we stepped forward, Richard's sword ability was at the top level I had to bring out my ability if I didn't want to let him down.
I swung my sword from above while Richard brushed it to the side, as he replied I turned my sword to hold it before turning back. A fight like this reminded me of my past when I was at the dojo, back then I was just a kid learning to swing a sword after losing his house.
When I was on the street a little girl with black hair took me to her house, I met her father who was a swordsman.
"I came home, Dad, I brought someone here."
"someone? Could he be your future husband, I won't accept it, I won't give my daughter to you."
"I was a little girl."
The man lunged towards me at high speed before he could catch me, a bamboo sword slammed into his shoulder until it fell down.
"As usual Ayumi did not hold back on her father."
To me a little girl beats an adult something incredible.
"Don't worry if this guy bothers you, I'll beat him up for you."
"I'm your father, don't attack your father with kendo."
"I want to be like that, please teach me to sword?"
"Dad?"
The man sat down while rubbing his chin.
"I don't care, but you might have to ask your parents' permission first."
"They are no more."
"Your house?"
"I don't have a home" I said.
The man seemed to cry and embrace me in his arms.
"From now on stay here, you can be Ayumi's sister."
"I don't want to, I'll marry him" Ayumi cut.
"I won't let it."
One day while coming home from a match the car we were driving fell into the abyss when I realized I had been in that white room where Goddess Nermala was waiting for me there.
"Am I dead?"
"To be honest you were alive, before you fell I moved you here."
"Why?"
"I want to grant your request, not that you want to go somewhere nice."
"As for that, I already have my place."
"I have to say it but your family is now both dead."
"Impossible? Though..."
"You know how else Aksa, you accidentally chose a dangerous route to an accident."
I just kept quiet for a while, then continued.
"Is that so?
"Right, I could have reincarnated you just, I'd rather you move you so you wouldn't have to be a baby when I sent you to another world."
"Am I going to be given a job or something?"
"Actually if for you I let you choose, want to live in peace or whatever I don't matter."
"What kind of world am I going to live in?"
"The world where swords and magic are, a beautiful fantasy world.if there is a request just say it, I will grant it."
"Then, then..."
Trangs... Trang.
Our two swords clashing together produced a deafening sound, in the last attack both of our swords were smashed to pieces.
"You continuing?" manyus.
"Of course, with empty hands."
He's too excited about something like this, now it's just meaningless.
Richard and I hit each other in the face and we were both thrown at the same time, I think we can take it as a draw.
