Chapter 96:
The reason she knows the idioms of the other world so well is because of the novel, the book written by the former otherworlder that spread across the Leiston continent.
Apparently, the setting is that a former otherworlder who had no talent and was weak, wrote a novel to survive.
And that novel became very popular in this world, where there is no entertainment.
Lisanna, being a complete fan of that novel, knows quite a bit about the idioms of the other world.
Of course, in a strange direction.
[The Goddess of Fate says that woman is definitely crazy.]
How bad must it be for the fundamental yandere to say such a thing?
I was looking at Lisanna in disbelief for a moment.
-Whoosh!
The girl swings her fist towards my face with a relaxed expression.It looked like a light attack from her expression.
However, the power was on a different level from her expression.
That’s because the rock behind him was shattered like paper.
-Crash!
Wow, I really shouldn’t get hit.
I was lucky to duck, but if I had taken that hit straight on, it would have been quite damaging.
‘At least there’s something to be thankful for.’
The fact that the saint in front of me is strong is undeniable.
But she lacks finesse compared to the power she possesses.
To put it bluntly, her attack was too straightforward.
As I was feeling a bit relaxed inside, she spoke as if she had heard my thoughts.
“Hmm. As expected, the instructor’s assistant is different! Then I’ll increase my strength a little more!”
“No. Just control it.”
Ignoring my words, she releases more divinity.
She kicks the ground.
At the same time.
-Boom!
She did a knee kick, aimed at my face.
Faster than before.
Despite the straightforward attack, there was no room for relaxation.
In the end, I thought it was too late to dodge.
“Kree!”
I barely blocked it with both hands.
Even though I blocked it with both arms, my arms were tingling.
I endured the pain and then, while she was in the air.
-Grab!
I grabbed her ankle and slammed her to the ground.
-Boom!
Lisanna, who was lying flat on the ground.
Usually, there would be some injury, however small.
But as expected of the saint of the goddess of Battle, she showed no signs of fatigue or injury.
All that was there was a pile of dust.
What crazy physical ability.
While I was feeling incredulous about her physical ability, Lisanna exclaimed with a calm face.
“Wow. As expected of the senior. These chicks here are mostly useless, except for that kid.”
“Now that you know, will you please leave?”
At my sincere request, she raises one corner of her mouth.
“I’m just starting to get excited. You can’t leave like that!”
Lisanna says, pushing the floor with her hand while lying down, and jumping up in one go.
Lisanna, who rose high for a moment.
-Whoosh!
She lightly spun around on the ground and landed, then kicked the ground hard without hesitation.
-Crash!
In the blink of an eye, she was in front of me.
“I’ll control my strength, but… Please block it well, Senior!”
Lisanna thrusts her fist.
‘Damn! I have to use Demonic magic.’
It’s crazy to fight her with just magic power.
I wanted to save it for later because of the physical burden, but if I keep saving it, it will be useless.
I deflected her fist to the side as much as possible.
“Kree!”
What kind of physical ability is that!
I knew that most of the saints of the goddess of Battle were different from other saints and were martial artists.
However, I never imagined that she would have such an amazing physical ability, having only awakened recently.
If she had finesse, I wouldn’t have been able to hold out.
That’s because my arm was trembling even though I deflected it.
Her fist barely grazed my cheek.
A brief gap.
“Huff.”
I used color settings, effect quality adjustment, and property change during that gap.
The magic inside my body slowly flows through the circuit.
-Woong!
As the magic is released from my body, it slowly takes hold.
-Boom!
Without hesitation, I punched her in the abdomen.
“What?!”
Lisanna, who never expected me to hide my strength to this extent, looks quite surprised.
‘As expected, she lacks experience.’
Usually, a strong person with rich experience would have blocked or dodged without hesitation.
But.
“Cough!”
She couldn’t block it and took it straight on.
She bounced off the ground like a stone skipping on water and.
-Boom!
She crashed into a tree quite far away.
“Huff. I hope there was some real damage.”
There was definitely a sensation.
But considering her physical ability.
“Kree! I knew you were hiding your strength, but this is really unexpected. I never thought you would hide it to this extent.”
As expected, there was no major damage.
No. Still, unlike when I slammed her into the ground earlier, this time she seemed to be in quite a bit of pain.
Blood was flowing from her lips.
“You are strong, but you have little combat experience compared to your strength. Just looking at you, I can tell you’ve never faced anyone stronger than you, right?”
“Hee… Well, I admit it. Honestly, how many strong people my age were there in my hometown? Rather, I couldn’t find any even if I wanted to.”
To my question, she sweeps her red hair and answers with a nonchalant attitude.
Damn. She’s not getting excited, unlike how she looks.
In fact, I was trying to provoke her to get her excited, but I never expected her to admit it right away.
From her actions, I thought she would have a strong sense of pride.
‘In the game, only her prideful side was shown, but it seems that’s not the case here.’
Anyway, as she said, Lisanna had exceptional skills even before awakening as a saint.
As a result, it was impossible for any of her peers to fight her on equal terms.
So it’s not surprising that she has little combat experience.
‘And now that she has awakened as a saint, it will be even harder to find strong opponents.’
While I was thinking this, Lisanna releases more divinity.
Her divinity makes the hairs on my body stand on end.
My instinct is telling me not to take my eyes off her.
“Senior, I’m excited for the dogfight♥”
Lisanna says in a cute voice.
-Boom!
She charges forward honestly.
The movement was too honest.
It feels like a ferocious monster, different from the strong who polish their techniques.
From a distance, one might even laugh at Lisanna’s movements.
However, from the opponent’s point of view, they can’t help but widen their eyes.
That’s because.
‘Faster!’
Yes.
Even with the use of magic, it’s a speed that can be missed in an instant.
If I had taken my eyes off for a moment, I wouldn’t have been able to react.
She grabs her other wrist with one hand and thrusts her fist forward.
It’s not a one-handed attack, but a combined attack with both hands.
‘I can’t block this.’
If I block it like this, I’ll definitely take a lot of damage.
Even with less physical enhancement, I thought my arm would be shattered by a one-handed attack.
So here, the choice is not to block, but to attack.
The saying that the best defense is a good offense is not without reason.
‘I can’t use my fists. I have to attack with my feet, which are stronger than my fists.’
After making up my mind, I spun my body to counter her fist. I rotated my body to increase the power and kicked with all my might.
-Crash!
My spinning kick collided with her fist.
Yes. Let’s have a dogfight!
.
.
.
On the other hand, Ward.
“If this goes well, I can easily assassinate the saint.”
In fact, before she fought with Kaine, who was right in front of her, he was seriously wondering how he could succeed in the assassination.
However, contrary to expectations, she suddenly encountered one of the instructor’s assistants and started fighting without dodging.
‘Hmm. With that level of skill, it’s not bad to fight rather than dodge.’
Of course, in terms of physical strength, it’s clear that she will be at a disadvantage.
But if she wins.
“The other instructor’s assistants won’t fight her.”
The instructor’s assistants’ goal is to prevent the students from hunting, not to win against her.
Therefore, it’s unlikely that the instructors would bother to fight her, as they don’t need to win.
It’s a waste of time.
Anyway, in the end, I got more than I expected.
No matter how much she is a saint, it’s unlikely that she won’t lose physical strength against the instructor’s assistant.
So if she wins, I can assassinate her when she’s exhausted and let her guard down.
If the instructor wins, I can kill her during the 10 minutes when she can’t move.
I can also kill Kaine, who the cult finds a little annoying.
‘I never thought I would have such a successful day.’
Thinking this, Ward burst out laughing with a joyful expression.
“Ha Ha Ha”
And later, Ward realizes.
That it was Kaine who had guided his actions.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, about 10 minutes have passed since the two started fighting.
“Huff! Huff! Huff!”
“Huff…”
In the forest, a man and a woman are breathing heavily, sweating.
The man is lying on the ground, while the woman is on top of him.
“Haa. I’m excited♥”
Damn. This crazy girl is like this even while fighting.
If a stranger saw this, they might misunderstand the situation.
The position looks like something out of a porn video.
But if we delve a little deeper into our situation.
“Senior, the dogfight begins!”
You’ll realize that it’s not a subtle act, but a literal dogfight.
-Crash! Crash!
Lisanna, in a mount position, wildly swings her fists at me.
Despite it being just fist swings, the sound of bombs exploding in the forest can be heard.
“Kree!”
I can’t just keep blocking like this.
If I stay still, my arms won’t last long.
-Bang! Bang!
As I block, I change the color of my magic to divine.
At the same time, I maximize the effect quality.
-Whoosh!
“Ugh!”
Lisanna tightly closes her eyes due to the sudden light.
She also covers her eyes with both arms.
I quickly escape from the embarrassing position and rush towards her.
She tries to counter with her ability to sense movement.
“Senior, I don’t fall for such tricks!”
“Yeah, I thought so.”
No matter how little combat experience Lisanna has, such tricks won’t work more than once.
I didn’t have high expectations for this trick in the first place.
What I’m relying on is.
-Whoosh!
My secret technique, the use of stacked physical enhancement.
The circuits in my body are being stretched like balloons, about to burst.
My body slowly starts to heat up.
The feeling of omnipotence envelops my body, and my joints creak.
Given my current state, the pain would have been quite severe.
However, thanks to the training during the vacation, I feel more relaxed than during the previous sparring with Willy.
I can endure at least one move in my current state without any issues.
‘Once is enough.’
After all, my goal is not to defeat this girl.
With that in mind, I quickly arrive in front of her.
Then.
“Senior, you had something up your sleeve.”
Lisanna releases more divinity, as if she was also conserving her strength.
She interlocks her hands and raises them high.
It’s a movement lacking precision, no matter who looks at it.
Seeing this, I raise one corner of my mouth.
As expected. I knew it.
I never thought that no matter how much I use stacked enhancement, she wouldn’t react.
I had a vague idea that she was going easy on me during the fight.
So I maximized the volume adjustment enhancement beforehand and listened closely to her movements.
The moment I heard the sound of her bones as she tried to slam down.
-Whoosh!
I moved without hesitation.
I dodged her attack a moment faster than her timing.
Contrary to expectations, her two fists only sliced through the air, without any impact.
“Huff?”
Contrary to expectations, there’s no impact from my fist, only the sound of the wind slicing through. Lisanna tilts her head in confusion.
I quietly whisper next to her.
“This is a practical test, kid.”
Saying this, I touch her badge.
