Otome Game Mob Villain Chapter 168

It's not that difficult. From what I have heard, your martial arts skills are quite good. In the future, I think it will be necessary to mix not only 'physical enhancent' but also 'attack magic' and 'magic barriers' within the martial arts. In actual combat, there are many situations where not only martial arts but also 'magic' are important."

I understand what you're saying, but I've never heard of this 'barrier wall' before, and I can't use it, can I?"

I don't know anything about 'barrier magic'.

I've never heard of it from Sandra, but if Cross knows about it, is it a magic that is commonplace in the Knights and other organisations? I'd really like to find out what kind of magic it is.

When Cross noticed how interested I was in the 'magic barrier' magic, he looked down a little and thought about it, then looked up.

'Yes, I understand. I will ask Sandra-sama to teach Rid-sama about the 'magic barrier'. As soon as I confirm that, I will ask Rainer-sama for permission for training using 'attack magic'. Once that is confird, I will raise the level of martial arts training by one level."

Sandra is also able to use the 'magic barrier' after all?

Since combat in magic is not sothing that Sandra, who is from a field of academics, has much connection with, she was probably going to teach a little later.

I nodded in reply to Cross's words, thinking that

'Okay. I'll tell Sandra next ti I see her.'

After nodding at my reply, Cross shifted his gaze to Rubens.

'Rubens, from tomorrow onwards you will be removed from training responsibilities and will go under the supervision of Knight Commander Dinas. If there is anything on your mind, let him know here and now.'

'Yes, then I would like to be present with Master Rid with your presumption. I think it would be best for the future if Deputy Commander Cross could see and Master Rid standing together."

When Rubens finished, he smiled and shifted his gaze to .

He smiles, but I sense a hint of provocation in his eyes.

When I looked into his eyes, I felt my rebellious spirit ignited.

I have yet to beat Rubens, so if I were to be transferred, it would be a win-win situation for us.

I thought that was sothing frustrating and I didn't like it, so I looked at Rubens and Cross and nodded.

'Yes, that's right. Maybe it would be easier for Cross to understand if he saw and Rubens having a hand-to-hand combat once.'

'Yes, sir. I would like to see the match between Rid and Rubens once with my own eyes, ".

The Cross is smiling and smirking at the seemingly friendly exchange between and Rubens.

On the other hand, Capella and Diana were looking dumbfounded at our exchange, as if they were saying 'Oh dear'.

After that, Rubens and I did so preparatory exercises before our hand-to-hand combat, Rubens with his wooden sword and I with mine.

Rubens took up the wooden sword and I took up the wooden sword, and we faced each other.

"Rid-sama, please put everything I've taught you to the fullest".

'I won't let Rubens win and run, you know? I can't lose forever either. ...... Cross, may I ask you to give the signal to begin?'

Cross nodded at my words, took a breath and raised his voice loudly.

After a little fierce fighting, I kick him with my legs while doing a backflip, making it look like I'm intentionally breaking my stance backwards, but Rubens brushes it off with a smile on his face with a look of reserve.

'Hmm, I'm always on the lookout for that movent, so it won't get through to .'

'...... I see. But there's a lot more to it

Then I launch a sustained barrage of raging attacks, using moves and other techniques that I also learnt from Capella and Diana.

But Rubens ducks them, parries them, and sotis catches and prevents them.

Once he has taken my barrage of blows, he goes on the offensive.

Rubens' barrage of strikes are sotis skillful, sotis destructive.

I can take his strikes, but I still don't want to accept his strikes, which focus on destructive power.

This is because when I receive them, my hands gradually beco numb, and eventually my wooden sword will be popped off.

When I steal a glance at Rubens' expression in the midst of the fierce exchange of blows, I sense a happy but sowhat forlorn look on his face.

At that mont, I see a slight or apparent shift in Rubens' position in his movents.

I can't help but feel that I'm being lured, but in order to break the ice, I have no choice but to go.

I'm going to launch a strike at the gap created by the collapse of Rubens's stance.

'Damn ......, this is it!

"......⁉ Nice work, but ......‼."

Rubens shouldn't be able to avoid or prevent my attack with his current position.

The next mont I thought that, I realised that he had done the 'move that makes it look like I lost my stance' that I had first shown him.

And in the next mont, my wooden sword is bounced away by Rubens' wooden sword.

"Rubens wins the match, having bounced off Rid-sama's wooden sword."

The next mont, the voice of Cross echoed around the area at almost the sa ti as the wooden sword was flicked away.

But I was more stunned by the move that Rubens made.

The reason is that I had 'seen' that movent before.

I asked Rubens fearfully, as if to confirm.

Rubens, what was that movent earlier?

" That's right, I learned that move from Capella."

The mont I heard Rubens' reply, I thought 'I knew it' and turned to Capella.

Capella noticed my gaze and smiled as he bailed.

When did the two of them beco so close? Thinking this, I looked at Rubens with my mouth agape and muttered.

'Isn't it cheating for Rubens to adopt Renalute's style too?'

'It's not cheating. The knighthood will beco stronger if we work on Renalute's movents. It was Master Rid himself who put it into practice and showed how to do it."

'...... What do you an?'

I looked at Rubens' words with an involuntary scowl.

When did I tell Rubens that the Knights of Bardia should work on the Renalute movent? He told with a wry smile.

In fact, I'm now having Deanna and Capella lay the groundwork for the martial arts training I will teach the slaves who will co in the future, and I'm the first one to adopt the martial arts movents that they are building.

I myself am happy to beco stronger. And since I was the one who asked the two of them to make it, I was also willing to cooperate with them if I could be of help.

But as a result, I don't feel like I'm becoming a test subject for the martial arts they've created, but I try not to worry too much about it .......

I thought it was a mistake that I was getting stronger.

But it seems that the potential of the martial arts fusion between the Renalute and the Knights of Bardia is much greater than I had thought.

I heard that Rubens, who saw my abilities improve by leaps and bounds by adopting new martial arts, asked Capella, through Diana, to teach them to him in secret, just like I did.

According to Rubens, there were several monts in the training when he almost lost to .

That's when he literally felt the potential firsthand.

When I heard the story, I looked at Rubens with an indescribable look on my face.

'I'm glad you saw the potential, but it's a bit complicated for personally because in the end I didn't beat Rubens. ......

'Please don't say so. I won this ti, but I am always amazed at the speed at which you are improving, Master Rid. If you continue to train like this, I think you can aim to be the strongest in the history of the Empire, just as Deputy Commander Cross said."

'The strongest in the history of the Empire' ...... is not sothing I'm interested in.

What I want to protect is my family and the Bardia territory.

But if it is necessary as a result as a 'force to protect', then that may be one of the things I aim for.

The strongest in the history of the empire,......, I'm not interested, but by the way, how strong do you have to be before it can be called that?"

Rubens looked down a little thoughtfully, then looked up and muttered.

'Well,...... for now, you definitely have to be stronger than your father, Master Rainer.

Stronger than my father, ...... that would certainly be the case. It was easy to understand, but I felt like that was still so ti away.

"'Then ...... Start !"

As soon as the start call began, I kicked at the ground and quickly cut in, but Rubens took it with a relaxed look on his face.
