I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 19's

I said that I wouldn't fight against him but look where I am now, I am now in the middle of a fighting arena holding a sword that I do not know what to do when now I have faced this brat, Nicholas.

I had warned him many times and said that I would not accept the challenge from him but this brash kid would not even cancel the challenge. He was even mocking things that made no sense and that I could not understand, I also couldn't possibly reject it because if it was me doing then it would make the self-esteem that Leathina had painstakingly maintained all this time shattered, although Leathina is gone and I am occupying her body now but I also have to appreciate her efforts to maintain her pride. There had been many wounds and pain that Leathina felt just to not be humbled by others, Leathina tried ten times harder than everyone else because everyone looked down on Leathina simply because Leathina was born a mixed blood or half noble her mother was a commoner plus her father who did not care about her so however I also have to keep what Leathina protects and maintains the most during this time.

But I did not expect that many people would come to watch my fight with Nicholas, even the very busy Duke Leonard was on the sidelines to watch, right next to her were Duchess Nice and Nora. While across the arena there are also some people watching, maybe they are the soldiers trained directly by Duke Leonard, he said, Anne also turned out to come to watch me she was standing next to the arena and kept glaring at me from earlier, probably because she was worried about me. When I was helping me get dressed, she always asked me if I was okay or not. I'm getting nervous when I'm seen by a lot of people like this

“Nicholas why are there so many people coming?”

“I announced our duel on them.”

“You announced it without my consent?”

“I knowingly, they came to supervise the fight so that no one would take sides later and they also must have immediately known if you cheated in the fight later.”

Uh what the fuck is he, though evil even though Leathina never cheated and always honest every fight.

“Both because the challenger and the receiving party are already in the middle of the arena to duel, the fight will be carried out until one of you admits defeat, he said, it is not permissible to kill the opponent or deliberately target the vital organs of the opponent to damage and paralyze, with this the fight begins!”

A soldier then spoke up and told the rules in the fight that Leathina and Nicholas would be fighting. After informing the rules, the soldier then ordered to start fighting signs that both sides were allowed to attack each other.

It is seen that Nicholas has mounted his horses steadily and positioned his sword in a state ready to attack or attack. While Leathina was still standing in place and wiggling her sword to the right and to the left to adjust the weight of the sword with her later movements.

This duel has already begun apparently, what should I do with this sword.well I will try it out hopefully the original Leathina memory suddenly appears when the fight is done.

“Because you did not attack me then I will attack you first Leathina.” Nicholas walked forward to Leathina to attack her first and with all his might he swung his sword towards Leathina.

Oh Nichola has come to attack me first what kind of movement should I do to avoid his attack, what sword should I aim like this.

Leathina immediately raised her sword to counter the attack from Nocholas who was getting closer to her.

“Srekkk.”

“Aaah!” Leathina screams as she is attacked by Nicholas.

Nicholas' sword managed to hit Leathina's right arm to tear even translucent clothes tore Leathina's skin, immediately the clothes in Leathina changed color to red, blood continued to flow and wet the entire garment from the shoulder to the palm of the hand. Leathina who felt something flowing out of her body turned towards her now torn shoulder showing off the scarring wound, Leathina then slowly fell down in shock looking at her arm.

“STUPID!”

“Brukk.”

“Leathina!!, kaka Lea!!”  Duke Leonard as well Nora almost yelled out simultaneously calling Leathina.

Nicholas who saw Leathina's arm immediately released his sword and ran towards Leathina and tried to catch her because it would fall backwards but Leathina had already fallen before being caught by Nicholas.

“Uh Nicholas, you won the match.” Leathina immediately spoke as she saw Nicholas running towards her.

Ah I was hit by a severe attack from Nicholas, in the end I could not tell anything about Leathina's sword technique and I had also destroyed and made a bad impression on Leathina. I'm really stupid.

“Why didn't you dodge my attack, did you deliberately succumb? I will not accept such cowardice, however, if I had attacked your vital point you could have died! You fool Leathina, you are so stupid I will not fight with you again!” Nicholas instead snapped and spewed his anger at Leathina, because Leathina did not avoid or deny her attack and instead allowed herself to be attacked.

“Srekkk.”

Nicholas tore off his clothes and immediately tied Leathina's arm trying to stop the blood still continuing to flow from Leathina's right arm.

“MINGGIR!!”

A tall man, though, the stern and handsome face suddenly pushed Nicholas backwards and immediately lifted and carried Leathina's body and immediately led her to a treatment room that is usually used to treat and care for soldiers if injured during training.

Seeing Leathina being taken to the treatment room, Duke Leonard, Nora and Anne ran behind the man, on Duke Leonard's face, and on his back, Nora and Anne were all worried on their faces.

Everyone who witnessed the incident was very surprised to see the incident that just happened, they felt astonished to see the unexpected incident because Leathina had been famous as a tough woman and even became the Queen of the arena for always winning the fight.

...

...

Seeing Leathina being carried away with a lot of blood still flowing from her arms made Nicholas shocked, Nicholas was unable to move and just remained seated in the temple his eyes were following the crowd that took Leathina away.

“Nicholas, are you okay?” Seeing the state of his son who looks very surprised, Nice immediately approached him and checked the state of the child.

“Uh Mother? I didn't mean to hurt him.”

“Yes I know Nicholas, you didn't mean to hurt him. You're a good boy.”

Nice tried to calm his son Nicholas who was still in shock, he then helped Nicholas to stand up and led him to leave the fighting arena that had a red stain on it because of Leathina's blood drops.
