The Return of the Eternal Hero
Meaning of Name Leonhart - Chapter 16

Leonhart Defense Headquarters - March 8, 537

"I'll accept it, my lord"

With his heart and mind upheld Reina chose to avenge him, he did not want to regret for not avenging Javier with his own hands

"Well, since Reina accepted it, your fight has been decided, the fight will be after this and I will be the judge myself if I decide that Reina has lost, then Count Hewiis will be released"

Count Hewiis saw this as an opportunity which meant that if he might be able to make a fatal attack then there was a possibility that he would manage to win the fight and get out of Leonhart's place alive

Although it seems to provide a fair enough fight for both of them Alaric's intention is to avoid the possibility of Reina being killed even though Alaric actually can not see a future where Reina will lose

Reina's differences with Count Hewiis himself are enormous but still he will try to keep all his people in the best possible way that they are still alive

Because people who have risked their life and death like Count Hewiis could have done everything for their own lives

In his previous life as Leonhart's hero, he had met several times with such people who could even do what was important they survived

Therefore Alaric tried to completely avoid that bad possibility, for him the life of one of his subordinates was more valuable than the life of the entire kingdom

"Then for the three of you, hmmm...."

Alaric tried to think because he didn't like the situation

"Your number is too much and to determine how you pay our compensation will be too long... Then let's play coin toss"

They were all surprised to hear what Alaric suggested but afterwards they felt relieved because they thought Alaric would not kill them if the determination of the compensation was only based on throwing coins

But their understanding was different from what Alaric thought

"We're going to play coin toss and you're just guessing the front or the back, if the guess is right you're alive but if it's wrong you're going to die, that way we can reduce this rather large number of people"

They were all shocked and speechless because they knew that if they refused they would be killed because now their lives would be decided by a coin toss

"You choose one!"

Alaric stared at the very tip he had quite a chubby body and with brown hair, his entire body was currently sweating from an overwhelming fear

"B-Ba-Back, backside,... I'll pick the back"

Filled with nervousness and fear, he made his choice - all he could do was hope that his guess was right

"Alright if the back appears then you're alive but if the front appears then you're dead"

Alaric tossed the coin with the finger of his right hand and then he caught it with his right hand too, as he caught it on the back of Alaric's hand and turned his hand to open the coin

Alaric opened the coin in a position so that the person who guessed it could also see the results

"Ah..Too bad the front came up"

When he saw the result the man immediately broke into a cold sweat, he saw the future of his death was already very close

"No-No, Sir wait.. Let me live, say-"

The man's words came to a halt as his body had already been hollowed out after being exposed to the magic from Alaric

"Then you go on, pick one!"

The next person was the one who was right next to the person earlier, this person had a good body and besides that he also used good armor as well

"I chose the back"

For him this was a 50/50 choice and his life was determined by this choice, of course he felt nervous and scared but he tried hard to look calmer because of his pride as a soldier captain

"All right, your choice is the back, if you're right you're alive"

Alaric tossed the coin the same way and then he also caught the coin using his right hand where the back of his hand was on top just like before

'He was a man who looked like Edward, I don't know about his ability but his mentality is as high as Edward's if he sees how he can still control his nervousness and fear even though his life is in danger... It's a pity that people like this even become subordinates of Bargos'

Alaric again turned his hand to open the coin

"It's a pity that what appears is the front"

Knowing the result the captain of the soldier was only able to surrender he did not try to defend his life because it had been shown by people before

He firmly accepted his fate, knowing that one day he would die but did not expect his death to be determined by the toss of a coin

"What's your name?"

"My name is Grantz"

"Ooh Grantz a good name, I like your attitude but it's a pity that I have to kill you here because that's at least I'll give you a painless death"

Alaric likes Grantz's character as a true knight because Alaric does love brave knights

Even so Alaric will not try to forgive Grantz's life even if he takes him to be a Leonhart soldier will be very profitable but Alaric does not want to violate what he decides

"I thank you for your kindness"

Grantz can only thank you for not dying as horribly as Marquis Bargos, he had already realized that he would die here because that was at least if he did not feel the tremendous pain that was enough for him

"Reina your sword"

"Good Sir"

Reina who was behind Alaric handed her sword then Alaric stood up from his seat while carrying Reina's sword

He stood right behind Grantz and he took a handkerchief in his pocket and covered Grantz's eyes with the handkerchief,

Grantz felt strange but he did not let out his mind at all because he somehow felt that he only needed to follow

It is a way of executing that was taught by someone Alaric knew in his previous life as the hero Leonhart, the man was from another world and he said the manner of execution came from his world and was often done in the past

'Moon Sword 1st Move: Half Moon'

With a quick but gentle slash Grantz's neck had suddenly fallen to the ground two, everyone except Reina who saw this incident was completely speechless

They did not expect that Alaric who was a magician could use that shrewd sword therefore they could not say anything

'That was the first move of the 24th Move Moon Sword: Eclipse'

That's what Reina saw the movement was very similar to the movement that Alaric showed him a few days ago and of course Reina is very aware of the movement because he is currently training hard to master it

"Next your turn!"
