Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 29: The Sparring

I followed Eden and the other knights to a field near the mansion. the field was completely grassless and surrounded by tall walls and many wooden dolls dressed in armor.

it looks like the doll is a target that is used for training.There is a building like a military barracks where various kinds of training equipment are stored in it. When I enter it there are many types of weapons, there are many types of weapons, such as, both from metal and wood.

the equipment used to practice is equipment made of wood. Even so, the wood used is hard and dense wood, which is solid, the weight is also not inferior to real weapons made of metal.

all I chose were two longswords that weighed about one and a half kilograms and were about 90 centimeters long. actually I can use various types of weapons because the title «Weapon Goddess» can increase compatibility with various weapons while making it easier to learn skills and strengthen skills using weapons.

Eden:"are you sure you want to choose the two swords, miss?".

Filia:"yes, I'm sure".

after choosing weapons, the knights regrouped in the field and practiced swinging swords or attacking wooden puppets in armor. While practicing, Eden also gave some direction to the other knights.

about fifteen minutes later, the portion of the exercise changed to sparring one versus one. I so remember the PVP in the game. I often do PVP with many players from different countries, he said, PVP aims to measure our ability when dueling with other players.

I wanted to give it a try, but I was afraid that the knights would not be serious when facing me. So it might be better if I took Eden and asked her to be serious.

Filia:"Eden.I want to try to fight with you".

Eden:"are you sure miss?"

Philia:"yeah!"

I saw the face of Eden who seemed hesitant and seemed to not believe me. Okay I was small and looked weak, but I was strong enough to at least make you cry.

Eden:"what if the lady fought one of them first?".

Eden pointed to a group of knights who were practicing using wooden swords and beating up wooden puppets.

Filia:"well.no problem"

after I agreed to Eden's proposal, he called a knight.The knight was tall with dark brown hair cut neatly and there were some scars on his face, but even so he still looked quite handsome, and it was precisely the scar that added a cool impression on his face.

Eden:"George.you will accompany the princess to practice the sword"

George:"good commander"

the other knights began to rest near the wall and noticed me and the knight called George standing face to face in the middle of the field and preparing to do a sparring.

Eden was also there as the match referee.

Philia:"please help her and do not hold back"

George: "it's an honor for me to practice swordplay with the princess"

Filia: "because you underestimated me, I will show you my abilities".

after a few polite words I immediately put up the horses with one wooden sword in my hand, while another sword I put it on the ground. I held the longsword using two hands horizontally in front of my chest.

George also set up standard horses with a two-handed sword.he held the sword with two hands and pointed it at me.

Eden:"Start!"

I immediately darted forward quickly and directly swung the sword horizontally with great force.

despite the shock, George was able to fend off my first attack even though he was thrown to the side for more than a meter and hit the ground hard.the sword he was holding was also broken in two.

I darted straight back towards him with the tip of my right foot as a pedestal to change course.Say I got to where I was in less than a second and pointed the tip of my sword straight down his throat.

Filia:"how?.did you give up?"

gulp....

there was a gulping sound from the knights around.I also noticed the bulge in George's throat that went up and down without speaking.His eyes showed a surprised expression and seemed to not understand what had just happened.

George:"s, I'm giving up".

Eden:"the game is over!"

after a moment of silence, Eden announced the results of my battle practice. Because George had given up, I also lowered the wooden sword back.

Philia:"the next time, no matter how weak your enemies may be, never underestimate them and lower your guard!".

George stood up and patted the ground that was on his body.it seemed like his hand had been injured after the hard impact earlier.he saluted me earnestly.

George:"I'll remember the princess's advice"

because it would be bad if he got hurt, then I gave him a recovery medicine that would treat his injury.

Eden:"I don't remember that Miss can practice sword fighting"

Philia:"maybe you forgot it"

I didn't want to explain more to Eden, so I just said that. Believe it or not, it's up to you.

as I expected, Eden did not take issue with it and just nodded despite her somewhat strange expression.

I saw the palm of my hand that I used to hold the sword earlier.when playing Alterion, many ordinary people turned into martial artists or powerful swordsmen. in Alterion players will learn fighting techniques and use various weapons.the effect is not inferior to when we practice martial arts in the real world, it's just that if you want to become a martial artist in the real world, you still have to retrain that technique with a real body.

while in the game you can only practice using a virtual body and it will be easier to move. the purpose of retraining in the real world is to make the body real so that it can follow the movements that are in our minds.in short, it is to synchronize between mind and body.

although the mind is able to predict movement and is also able to think of the right actions to withstand or counterattack, but if the body is unable to follow it, then all of it will remain in vain.

and right now it seems like my body is not used to this kind of movement.I still have to do a lot of training so that this body can follow my mind while in battle.

I raised my head and saw many other knights who were resting around the training ground while giving praise towards me.

Philia: "all of you go forward together!. This is the commandment"

I shouted those words and instantly made the place quiet.after that the faces were replaced with uncertain expressions.

"sorry.it's not my intention to be disrespectful, but even though princess is strong aren't you underestimating us too much".

there was a knight who said that. from the beginning of training I had already noticed the knight who always looked at me with disdain.he was a man of about thirty years old with a sharp chin and a thin mustache. the first time I wanted to join the training, he looked at me with a disgusting cynical smile.

although the other knights did not voice their opinions, they also nodded at the person's words.

Philia:"what's your name?"

"my name is Mull"

Filia:"it seems that you knights are still too proud of your abilities!"

I said like that while glancing at Eden.It seems Eden understood my point, she nodded her approval sign.

Eden:"you will fight the princess at the same time".

"commander.are you serious?".

"don't joke around"

Eden:"Enough!. This is a command!".

Eden raised his tone until the knights fell silent and began to pick up their wooden weapons.

Mull:"we will grant leniency to the princess"

there were about over a hundred knights practicing at the moment. Mull led about twenty people to advance together.It seems that the lightening he meant was, they would advance by the number of about twenty people first. Actually I want all the knights to advance together.

I walked over to pick up another wooden sword I had placed on the ground during the fight against George at the beginning.I held two swords in both hands and walked towards the crowd.

Mull:"hehehe..don't blame us if the princess is hurt".

Filia: "let's see what you're proud of".

Mull:"attack!!"

Mull immediately took the lead to carry out the attack with a cynical smile on his face.His face really disgusted me.

Filia:" «Martial Arts: Double Sword Dance»"

my original purpose of borrowing the two wooden swords earlier was to try out this skill.it was one of the skills I liked.

I immediately entered and charged towards the group of knights heading towards me. I dodged their attacks and weaved amidst the crowd.although the longsword was a bit difficult to use under these circumstances, but I could easily find an opening to swing the sword into the blind spots of the knights.

I hit one of the blind spots of a knight and he was thrown to the ground.I jumped up and repelled the attacks of many knights who pointed his wooden sword at me. I acknowledge that their cooperation is quite good, even under these conditions, they can still carry out coordinated attacks without chaos.

I continued dancing amidst so many attacks and also quickly launched a counterattack on the knights.they began to be thrown and fell to the ground one by one with groans of pain.

all that process only lasted for about two minutes and all those knights fell on the ground could not continue the fight anymore.I deliberately left one person still standing, he was Mull.

how could I let go so easily. I walked slowly with the knights who were falling around my feet. Right now that disgusting cynical smile had been replaced with a terrified expression. cold sweat continued to flow on his face.

Philia:"how?. Am I still underestimating you?"

I continued walking slowly towards him with a smile.As I stepped forward, Mull stepped back.

Mull:"p, princess, I was wrong"

Filia:"Forward!"

Mull:"s, I.."

Filia:"Forward!!"

perhaps due to my coercion, he began to tighten his grip onto the wooden sword then shouted and directly charged towards me with all his strength.

he swung the sword vertically down with great force.

Eden:"STOP!!"

Philia:"heh. too slow"

I advanced quickly then launched an attack towards his wide-open stomach without any defense.

SHIT!!!...

a loud clash rang out and Mull was thrown far enough away and then hit the wooden doll hard.

I praised him for still being conscious after the impact.even he still held the wooden sword in his hand.The difference was, right now his face was full of fear more than before.

I approached him and pointed the tip of the sword down his throat like I had beaten George in the beginning.

Filia: "with this kind of weak ability you dare to boast in front of me. I don't need anyone like you, you can leave here. From now on, you're no longer a knight of the Rosefield family".

after saying that, I turned around and left, but after a few steps, Mull stood up and launched an attack towards me. This time I felt a strong killing intent from him, but after a few steps, Mull stood up and launched an attack towards me, this attack was really meant to kill me.

I immediately turned around and swung the wooden sword that was in my right hand to welcome Mull's attack. Mull was not thrown like before, but the wooden sword he was holding was already broken in two. It was not like it was broken due to a hard impact, but it was broken like it was cut using a very sharp sword. the pieces are neat and clean.

I immediately saw the fallen Mull sitting on the ground in fear.

Filia:"take him away from here"

without saying much, the knights who did not fight with me directly dragged him away violently.

huh...

I let out a long sigh.it was truly an unexpected occurrence.I saw the knights I had defeated earlier, they were helped by other knights to stand up and bow towards me.

Philia:"give all these medicines to those who are wounded".

I handed the low-quality healing potion to the injured knights.although it was low-level, it was already more than enough to heal them.

they immediately bowed again and thanked me. I couldn't possibly ignore them after showing such a cruel act. right?!. if you only show violence and don't show gentleness in front of your subordinates, they will be afraid of you and it will be difficult to gain their trust someday.This is the definition of giving a stick and a carrot.

Eden immediately approached me and asked with concern.

Eden:"are you okay, miss. I'm very sorry for being late to react and not being able to protect the lady"

I stopped Eden from kneeling before me.

Filia: "it's not your fault I'll clean up first. You can continue your next activities".

I immediately left and left the place. It seems like it's time for breakfast. breakfast time here is rather noon, because some noble princesses will wake up late. After all they are noble children, after all, so no need to worry.
