Not Eleanor, but Hikari.
For me, both of them are Demon Swords, but in public, it’s not.
If you say Demon Sword, it’s Eleanor who has been famous for hundreds of years, and the other shorter one is currently in “what is that” situation.
That’s why, they should be feeling that I’m looking down on them.
「Uhm……can we, participate from now?」
More of the slaves started to join.
They probably felt that there’s hope if I’m looking down on them that much.
「Yosh, let’s do it. Nana, lend them weapons」
「Ha!」
One of the slaves received a weapon from Nana, and checked it carefully.
It’s the red-haired girl that stood up from the start.
She challenges me first.
「Haaaa!」
She swung up the long sword, and charged.
She slashed without hesitations. The blade attacks while slashing through the air.
I held Hikari backwards and received it. The sound of the swords clashing echoes.
「Gugugu……」
She pushes through with her long sword using both of her hands. I pushed her back with one hand, and parried.
She continued to attack.
She attacked with all of her wills.
It’s good that she’s decisive, but that’s all.
After I had made her do what she want for a while, I slapped her wrist after receiving her sword attack, making the long sword fall.
And I stuck Hikari towards her throat.
「Finished, right?」
「Ku……!」
She felt frustrated. But I defeated her thoroughly that she couldn’t say anything back, so she was more frustrated with that.
I received the challenge of the slaves one next to the other. I crushed all of the slaves soldiers that were yet to be trained.
First, they thought that they might normally win, next, they thought that they might win because I would get tired, lastly, they thought that they might win luckily.
The feelings of the ones who challenged me, I dealt with their interesting expressions where I can easily read their feelings.
And while doing all of that, I didn’t take a step.
I stuck my feet on the ground, and not moved while rooting on the ground.
「She’s the last one right?」
After I had taken care of the last one, I looked at the slaves.
All of them had a dark expression, they had a face that all of their hopes were gone.
That’s probably good right nowーーbut when I was thinking of that.
「Haaaaaa!」
Fissures flew from my side.
It’s not the same up until now, it’s a blade slash showing its might. I received it hurriedly with Hikari……I was forced to take a step.
「Nana?」
「Deyaaaaaa!!」
Drawing her long sword, Nana slashes at me.
Freely slashing attack, slashes that make me remember the time when we first fought.
Serious.
It’s dangerous looking down at a serious Nana. I took out my feet from the ground, and countered with both of my Demon Swords.
The consecutive slashes echoed, I received and dealt with Nana’s attacks.
「You got stronger, compared to before」
「Negligence!」
I received the three consecutive slashes from the side, and parried Nana’s long sword with my returning blade.
Her long sword spins up in the air, and finally fell to the ground, deeply sinking its blade.
And, I placed my blade to her throat.
「Match finished, right?」
「Ha!」
Nana’s expression was very carefree.
Even though she suddenly attacked, and easily got defeated, her face was very radiant.
In the first place, her attacks were serious, but there wasn’t a killing intent.
I wonder what was that right now.
