"Adas. This is my ntor, Grace."
"I am Grace. Nice to et you, Adas.", Grace said courteously.
"Nice to et you."
He doesn't act like a girl at all.
"Are you really a girl?", I asked suspiciously.
"Excuse ?"
"Adas! You can't ask that all of a sudden!"
[He is a girl.]
"Grace. Can you change your avatar, please?" Elena asked.
"Sure."
He opened his nu and changed his avatar.
He turned into a girl. His hair was now long, but they were still blonde. Everything is the sa, the only thing that has changed was hair and... breast.
"Let's go to the garden.", Elena suggested.
"Yeah. We are catching attention.", Grace said.
We went to the garden.
It's was a big garden, and many players were dueling with each other.
"It's also called a practice ground.", Elena stated.
"So, what do you want to talk about, Adas?", Grace asked.
"I am still not convinced that you are a girl.", I stared blankly.
"Adas, that's rude!" exclaid Elena.
She acts like a boy. Her walking style, even her way of talking is like a boy's.
"I don't think there is any need to prove my identity to you.", Grace said with a soft smile.
"There is. I have to make sure what type of person my girlfriend's ntor is.", I said back with a smile too.
"How about we have a duel? If you win, I will tell you everything about .", Grace said.
"Fine by .", I said.
"Adas, stop it!", Elena warned .
"Don't worry Reina, I will win for sure.", I said.
"She is a top player. She is very strong. You can't win against her."
That hurts! I just wanted to prove myself in front of Elena that I am better than her ntor.
"That's right, Adas. You can't win against .", mocked Grace.
[Good luck Adas.]
"What's your deal?", I asked.
"Hmm?"
"There must be sothing you want if you win, right?", I asked.
"There is."
"Spit it."
"If I win..."
"If you win?"
She glanced at Elena as her face flushed and said, "If I win, then give Elena."
"Alright, I am out." I looked at Elena and said, "Let's go, Elena."
"Grace. What are you saying?", Elena asked with confusion.
"I am sorry, Elena. I have been hiding this from you."
"Wh...at?", Elena asked.
Grace's face flushed more as she said, "I love you."
"What?"
"I know I am a girl, but I love you."
"Do you even realize what you are saying, Grace?"
Wow. Just wow.
A girl just confessed to my girlfriend in front of .
"Hey, get out of here already," I said.
"What's wrong?" Grace smirked as she said, "Are you scared that I might win and take Elena away from you?"
"Heh" My face twitched as I glared at Grace and said, "Do you want to die?"
"Please stop both of you.", Elena said.
"You stay out of this, Elena.", I said.
"Please don't fight over ..." Her face flushed as she said, "I always wanted to say this line.",
"...."
"..."
"Just admit it that you are scared that I might win. And I will walk away", said Grace.
"I am not scared of you, and there is no reason for to fight in this pointless battle."
"How dare you call this duel pointless!"
"It is pointless for ," I widely smirked as I said, "After all, Elena is already mine."
I could see Grace going crazy in rage.
"You know, you are a very arrogant person," said Grace.
"I am glad to know that."
"So I will duel with you and defeat you and your arrogance in front of Elena."
"Tch!" I clicked my tongue as I muttered, "I wanted to say that line."
Dammit!
"Will you still not admit that you are not scared?"
"I am not scared."
"Just admit it. I am the top 8th player of this ga, and you are a nobody. You can't win."
"...."
Now she is getting on my nerves.
I know she is just trying to prove , and I am trying my best not to do that. But... how dare she insult in front of Elena?!
I really want to beat the shit out of her and humiliate her in front of Elena, so I can prove I am much better than this ntor of her.
I turned around and whispered, "Lily, what do you think?"
[I think you look cool]
"I am not asking that"
[I know, you want to know whether you can win against Grace or not, right?]
I nodded.
[If you go all out, you can easily win]
Going all out, huh?
I can do that, but... in front of Elena is a little...
What should I do?
I have no reason to duel with her or get provoked by her remarks, but Elena admires her deeply.
I know that because whenever she talks about Grace, a warm smile cos on her face.
If I humiliate Grace in front of Elena, all her admiration will fade away.
I glanced at Elena; she was giving a worried look.
I took a deep breath and sighed as I asked, "What are the rules of the duel?" I asked.
"I will let you decide.", Grace said smugly.
You have already lost.
"A five-minute duel. Hit once, and you will win.", I said.
"Are you out of your mind or what?"
"What's wrong? Are you scared?", I asked.
"Looks like you really want to lose.", Grace snickered.
She opened her nu and changed her avatar into a boy.
"Are you ready?", she asked.
"Go ahead."
She took out her sword and waited for to make the first move.
"...."
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Are you not going to take out your sword?"
"There is no need to," I smirked.
"You will need a sword to block my attacks."
Why is she concerned about not using the sword?
"I don't need to block them. I will dodge them."
"Elena, your boyfriend is making angry.", she said while gritting her teeth.
She dashed at with her sword.
She kept swinging it left and right as well as back and forth.
I dodged them all.
She does five attacks in one set, and she attacks in the sa pattern.
The first is on the right side of my face. The second is at the left. The third is at my legs. The fourth is at my chest. And fifth is at my neck.
"How are you so good at dodging?!", Grace growled.
"It's thanks to my grandpa."
"Huh?", she widened her eyes.
"He taught martial arts. Dodging this type of slow attacks are easy for ."
"You bastard!"
Now that's what a girl should react.
"Five minutes are over.", Elena said.
"I lost.", she groaned.
It was easier than I thought.
"Hey, I just won," I grinned and said, "So stay away from Elena, got it?"
"....."
She is not saying anything. Poor girl. She is devastated that she can't see the girl she loves anymore.
I was having a weird feeling, like a nasty one.
I heard a dripping sound at my foot.
I looked at my foot and saw so water drops.
Water drops?
Wait.... is she crying?
I crouched down a little to see her face, but before I could do so, Elena ca between us and said, "Adas, you made her cry."
"Wait, it's not my fault.", I stated.
"You challenged her and set those rules."
"I didn't challenge her, and she was the one who told to set the rules."
"Hey, Adas!" Grace said.
"What is...it?", I asked.
"Let's duel one more ti."
She hasn't learned her lesson! And it looks like she still has so pride left.
Alright, if you are insisting, I will crush your pride.
"Fine by . Just don't cry later on.", I said.
"I won't."
"So, what are the rules?", I asked.
"The sa as before.", she said.
"Are you sure?", I asked.
"Yeah, because I will win this ti.", Grace said with a determined expression.
What's with her confidence? It gave chills for so reason.
She dashed at .
She was doing the sa thing again.
What was she so confident about?
She was still attacking with the sa pattern.
Two more minutes, and she will lose... huh?
She stopped swinging her swords and opened her nu. Her body shined bright as her avatar changed.
"I don't fight in a girl's avatar because these breasts co in my way, but this avatar is my strongest.", she said.
A player can have 3 avatars. The 1st avatar should be original, the sa as the real world with so appearance changes. 2nd and 3rd can be of any gender. The main, primary avatar will have all the skills.
If I create another avatar, I will have to level up from 1 again. There will be no skills, no stats, but I can use the sa equipnts.
Her male avatar was strong. The stats were high too. So, how strong will her female avatar be?
She started attacking again. This ti she is fast. I can barely see her attacks.
This might be bad. If I lose, then Elena...
"One minute left.", Elena said.
One more minute.
I think I can keep going---!
She is way faster now, and her attacks are also...?
[Adas. She used a skill.]
This girl...!
"Hey, you are using skills.", I growled.
"It's not against the rules.", she said.
Dammit. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,17, 18. 18 swings in 3 seconds! There are still 46 seconds. I can't dodge them all.
She was attacking every part of my body, alternatively.
I can dodge the first 12 swings, but the other 6 are too much.
"30 seconds left.", Elena said.
"Hey Adas, Why don't you just admit your defeat already?", Grace asked.
"In your dreams!", I shouted.
"If you give up now, I will let you spend so ti with Elena once in a while."
"That's my line!" I said.
"20 seconds left.", Elena said.
Her attacks were even more faster now.
The last swing passed from right below my nose.
That was a close one.
Concentrate Das. 15 more seconds.
"Just give up already.", she said.
"Shut up!", I growled.
Unlike earlier, she was only aiming at my chest and face now.
"10 seconds left.", Elena said.
[Use your skills, Adas. ]
Using my skills won't help here.
My Sprinter skill helps run faster, and I am not running here.
She is just aiming at the upper parts of my body.
I can manage it--! It was a trap!
She used 12 attacks on my chest and then aid at my legs.
I dodged the first two attacks.
There were still 4 swings left.
I jumped and dodged two more.
There are two more swings left!
I can't dodge now.
I will land, and she will hit .
[Adas, use your Levitate skill.]
I can't! Not in front of Elena. But... I don't have any other choice.
I will take the risk.
I used my levitate skill to jump in the air, but I ended up jumping on her sword when she tried to swing up.
"Ti's up.", Elena said.
"I hit him! The last attack. I hit him!", Grace said.
"I didn't see it.", Elena said.
"I did. Hey Adas, tell her."
"I have no idea what you are talking about.", I said.
"Liar! How can you lie?! I thought this was an honest battle. You clearly touched my sword."
"But the ti was over, so it doesn't count.".
"No! I hit you before it.", Grace shouted.
"You didn't."
"Then how about we go for one more duel?"
"Hell no."
"Stop it, you two.", Elena said.
"She is the one who wants to fight."
Honestly, I can't go on anymore.
I barely managed to win the last one. Did I even win?
Grace is right, she hit before the ti ended, but Elena didn't notice it.
I actually didn't win.
"We will continue this so other ti.", Grace said.
"No. No fighting anymore. I want you two to get along.", Elena said.
"That's impossible.", I said.
"That's right. I will never get along with him."
"If you don't, then I will stop talking with you two."
"What?!"
Grace and I glanced at each other.
"We were joking, Elena.",
"That's right, we are best buddies.", Grace said.
"Your words and actions don't match.", Elena said.
"Hey you, stop pulling my hair.", she shouted.
"You stop scratching my face first."
"Adas. Grace." Elena said.
"We are sorry.", we said in unison.
"Hey, how about we call this a draw?", said Grace.
"Sounds good.", I said.
Maybe calling it a draw would spare from so guilt?
"Nice. You two, stay here. I will bring sothing to eat.", Elena said.
"Fine.", I said.
"Okay."
