VF 101 – The Next King versus the Next Pri Minister

[Well then, are both of you ready?]

I stood in the middle of Seryu-sama and Macbeth-kun as they face each other, both holding wooden swords. I will serve as this match’s referee and would put it to a stop imdiately in case of ergency.

[Ready… Start!] (Calis)

The first to move was Macbeth. He made a preemptive dash aiming for Seryu-sama’s throat as he grins in anticipation of victory after thinking he was able to easily get the initiative. He’s probably thinking of ending things instantly but unfortunately, Seryu-sama easily saw through his plans and after dodging at the last possible second, he moves to Macbeth-kun’s side and seize the opening.

[Gah*..!] (Macbeth)

I didn’t expect Macbeth-kun to actually avoid that strike despite being out of balanced in a desperate maneuver but the prince didn’t pursue him. He just looks at Macbeth-kun and fixes his stance accordingly. Oho, perhaps the prince is showing their differences in ability as he gives Macbeth-kun so leeway? I observe Macbeth-kun’s reaction and notices how his eyes narrow as he glares at the prince. He then kicks off to a sprint and imdiately unleashes an upward slash as the prince enters his attack range.

Seryu-sama, seeing through his movents perfectly, dodges Macbeth-kun’s attempt and counters by striking Macbeth-kun’s hand which holds the wooden sword. As Macbeth-kun loses his grip in just a single blow, Prince Seryu didn’t wait any longer as he aims his wooden sword onto Macbeth’s throat.

[Uhm, well, it’s 1-0, I guess.] (Seryu)

[…you don’t say…] (M)

[I’d ask just in case but would you keep on trying?] (S)

[Yeah. It would leave a bitter aftertaste if I can’t win even once.] (M)

[That’s what he says, Duke Fall. So if you’d allow…] (S)

[*Nods* Feel free to defeat him until he gives up. The ga allows the trainee to do whatever he wants if he wins anyway so feel free to do as you please.] (C)

[My thanks, Duke Fall.] (S)

[Though, I have to say, I thought the victor was already decided after the preemptive thrust he made.] (C)

[Oh, I think his movents were pretty clean back then as well. But after getting used to the Duke’s speed, it can’t even compare so…] (S)

Perhaps those words caught Macbeth-kun’s interest as he turned to with shock in his face.

[You’re really outrageous. I guess that’s the reason why people call you the ‘demon king’.] (M)

[Oho, I’d take you learned of such nicknas from Serena-sama, yes?] (C)

[The duke also served in the army, if I’m not mistaken. Despite being a noble who governs a territory, he was hailed to be the strongest swordsman of them all! As expected of Duke Fall!] (S)

I don’t know if Prince Seryu is aware of it, but Macbeth-kun is smiling drily as he looks at the prince while he showers with embarrassing praises…

[Well, I can understand to so extent why the Prince admires you that way.] (M)

[Duke Fall’s really a splendid person, don’t you agree!?] (S)

[*Flinched* Y-yeah… though probably not as much as your highness thinks…] (M)

Oh, he flinched. Yeah, I get it. I know how you feel, Macbeth-kun. Except that even I don’t understand why he follows like a cute puppy. I don’t know if I’m starting to like this kid a little bit but I feel I’m starting to open up to the prince. Not that it matters as long as it won’t bother as I dote on Sasha and Laurel~.

Translator’s Notes:

If I’m not mistaken, Macbeth is the sa kid that Serena has a crush on and is engaged with in case you need so refresh. Please feel free to correct if I’m wrong! You know, when I first encountered the stories of MCs who’ve been strong without doing anything, I was really engrossed with them. That is until it beca too mainstream. And after reading Danmachi again, as well as Arifureta, I ca to a self realization that I like the story of MCs who’d been zero to hero. There’s also Naruto. The happiness I feel watching them succeed can’t compare to the tis when the OP MCs effortlessly defeated an enemy. Sorry, sorry. I’m just talking about my tastes. Cause what I see here are two types of different protagonists who are fighting under the instructions of, in this series, the demon king. xd There’s also one video that strikes after seeing Calis’ last line in this chapter. loool It’s a Family Feud clip from Team Bradshaw xD If you want to see the clip, click here and jump to 2:05, at least! xD
