Chapter 72: Sold a Fight to the Strongest ②
Translated by AmaLynne
「G-Guh.」
「Sam-kun!」
Sam staggered as he was hit on the cheek, and Fran called his na.
It’s okay, he said lightly, raising his hand, and Sam glared at Albert.
「Don’t try to hit a woman.」
And not a slap, but a fist.
Not sothing a man who claims to be the strongest would do.
「What are you going to do if Fran-sama gets hurt?」
Albert’s face contorted in disapproval as he glared at him further, including intimidation.
「―――I an, where is this kid from? I’ve been thinking about how depressing it was behind Francesca’s back earlier.」
「My na is Samuel Scheidt.」
「……Scheidt? Oh, yeah, yeah, you’re Ulrike’s disciple, huh?」
「What then?」
He looks straight at Albert, who gives him a condescending look.
He doesn’t like the fact that such a man calls Ur’s na in a familiar way.
「Oh, I heard that the dead Ulrike left behind an apprentice, but I didn’t realize he was such a brat. He died in vain. What can a kid like this do?」
「Albert, you! That’s enough!」
「It’s okay, Fran-sama. I don’t care what so scumbag who tries to hit a woman says.」
「You say that!」
「Sam-kun, don’t do this. Even a man like him is the strongest in the kingdom, having defeated my father!」
Fran tried to stop Sam from getting into a fight, but Sam had a stronger feeling that he did not want to pull in front of Albert.
In Sam’s mind, being a court wizard was the height of a respected master.
Ur’s master was a confident wizarding genius, a kindly, sotis strict, respectful, and sincerely loved person, like a sister, like a mother.
Even Günther, the court wizard he t after coming to the Royal Capital, was better than Albert.
Although he had a perverse affection for Ur and even stretched his finger to Sam, his warding techniques were nothing short of brilliant.
But what about this Albert?
Sam can sense a strong magical power from him.
If it were a simple amount of magic, it would be considerable.
But the magic is rough and unsteady.
Like Albert’s emotions, they fluctuate ups and downs.
Sam was taught by Ur that magic power should be increased only when it is used.
He was taught to be quiet as the surface of a calm lake in everyday life, but like a storm in battle.
This was to prevent his opponents from realizing what he was capable of, and also because,「It’s cooler that way, isn’t it?」. This is a very Ur-esque idea.
It is difficult to keep the magic stable on a regular basis, and it took Sam a year to be able to do it without being conscious of it in his daily life.
But it can be done in a year.
As far as Sam can see, Günther can do it too.
But what about Albert?
He is dripping as if he is flaunting his strong magical power.
It is doubtful that he has ever trained to sharpen his magical power.
Perhaps Albert is a power type who boasts of his overwhelming firepower.
His magical power is already heightened due to his emotional state.
It was a situation in which Albert could have unleashed magic at any mont in accordance with his emotions.
Sam sure Fran is aware of this.
Therefore, she is probably sure that Sam will not be hard.
However, Sam is not afraid of losing to Albert, whose strength is his only boast.
「Fran-sama, I appreciate your concern, but there is no problem.」
「―――Haha, don’t act nice just because you’re in front of a woman. You don’t know how strong I am, and it’s too late for you to cry about it later, right?」
「Shut up.」
「………ha?」
「I do not approve of a man like you being a court wizard or calling yourself the most powerful man in the kingdom.」
「Sam-kun! Stop it!」
Fran tries to stop Sam, but Sam apologizes in his mind and ignores her.
―――Then, he’ll take his chances.
「You’re telling , kid!」
「Stop it, Albert! Don’t take anything a child says to you!」
「Shut up, Francesca! Do you want to burn down this shithole of a house?」
「―――!」
Sam doubted the dignity of Albert who even began to threaten her.
It is not very much, but it is not a person who stands on the top.
If the court wizard of the Skye Kingdom thinks that it is enough if only the ability is good, it is really disappointing.
「You shut your mouth.」
「Aah!」
.
「It’s disgusting to that a human scum who can only raise his hands against won, threaten them, and do other such things, is the one who has the strongest power as his own.」
「You’ve been saying whatever you want to say since a minute ago! What would you call it then?」
Sam smiled inappropriately.
How could he pass up an opportunity like this?
「Albert Frege. I challenge you to a duel.」
「What?」
The strongest in the kingdom is right in front of us.
So let’s take it away from him.
「Give the position of court wizard and the most powerful man in the kingdom.」
