It was Manion who set the first move.

He kicked the ground with his magic sword in the upper position, but he did not get close enough to Jim and rushed forward with a thudding sound of footsteps that did not sound like a swordsman's, but he was really slow.

He may claim to have a magic sword, but he moves like an amateur.

Jim was taken aback by the sight, but he did not let his guard down.

Since two of the soldiers who were in charge of the gate of the Count's family had been cut down, he judged that they were not as good as he had seen them.

Manion finally stood in front of Jim and swung his magic sword down, but Jim easily avoided the blow by taking a step back.

"Don't avoid me!"

"Are you an idiot? Of course you would avoid it, since you were attacked.

"d*mn, d*mn, d*mn, d*mn!"

Manion's continuous slashes were no threat to Jim.

Each blow was large and slow.

His movements were exaggerated, and he shouted at each blow, so it was easy to tell when an attack was coming. He also follows the target with his eyes, so that by looking into Manion's eyes, one can naturally see where the target is.

Jim was not very good at physical skills, but it was more difficult for him to take a blow when the conditions were so perfect.

"It seems that you have a magic sword, but that's about all you have at your core. He must have taken the gatekeepers by surprise."

"How come it didn't hit me!"

"He was caught red-handed in the attack on the Countess' house and the attempt to kidnap Alicia and the others. You'll be taken prisoner.

"Don't f*ck with me!"

Jim, seeing no point in fighting any longer, advised against it, but instead set Mannion on fire.

"I'm a magic sword user! I am the strongest swordsman chosen by the magic sword!

A tremendous amount of magical power was unleashed from Manion, or rather from the magic sword.

"-- this is...!"

As if in tune with Manion's emotional excitement, he emitted a disastrous magical power.

The magic power entwined with the blade, and the sword was charged with power.

With a "thud," the blade of the sword leaps into action.

"Did I see it wrong? A sword now?"

Jim couldn't believe his eyes.

If he wasn't mistaken, the magic sword pulsed as if it were a living creature.

"I'm going to show you what I'm really made of, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Mannion swung the sword with no skill, just brute force.

"-- huh?"

What was different from before was that as soon as the sword was swung down, magic power was released as a slash.

It was a surprise, but not enough to panic.

Jim stopped to avoid it.

Alicia and the others were behind him. No matter how well protected he was by the dragon cubs, he knew that there was always a chance.

And instead of evading, Jim tried to put up a barrier to catch the slash.

"Kuhi!"

Manion laughed at Jim who had taken a defensive posture by putting up a barrier.

Jim immediately realized that he had done exactly what Manion wanted him to do, but it was already too late.

Manion's slash cut through the barrier and gouged out Jim's shoulder.

"What the hell?"

Jim could not help but be amazed as fresh blood danced from his shoulder and intense pain shot through him.

Even as a student, he had not expected to be able to tear through the magical barrier so easily.

It was as if the barrier had been sliced through like a piece of paper.

"So this is the magic sword. I hate myself for not settling this sooner.

It's not too late. Let's settle this as soon as possible.

Jim decides to act on this decision and suddenly drops to one knee.

This was unexpected, even for Jim.

"......What happened? Why, my body is drained of power and magic.

Just as he had said, his strength and magic were draining out of him as if they were flowing out of his body.

I feel as if I were going to collapse on the spot.

But Jim, who has someone to protect, bites his back teeth, endures desperately, and tries to stand up.

"You son of a b*tc*!"

"Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! You took a bite! You took a blow from my magic sword, didn't you!"

Manion laughed happily and happily when he saw Jim on his knees.

"My magic sword takes away the magic and strength of the person it cuts! Even if you just graze him, it doesn't make a difference. Suck on that!

"You ...... are so weak."

Jim finally fell to both knees as the sound of laughter echoed uncomfortably.

"Duhhhh, I'll chop your head off just like all the others who made fun of me! Come on, come on, beg for your life!"

No one does.

"Hmph, then die!"

Manion, with an ugly grin on his face, swung his sword broadly to the side.

The black blade of the sword flashed out to cut Jim's neck.

The sword was blunt, but Jim did not have the strength to avoid it.

"I'm sorry, Alicia."

The blade of a sword is pressed against the neck of a boy who apologizes for failing to protect his childhood sweetheart.

"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Alicia's screams were heard from behind her.

But no pain, no shock, nothing reaches Jim.

Thinking that he had died before he realized it, he reflexively opened his eyes and saw that the black blade of the sword had been caught in the palm of someone's hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Jim, from the bottom of my heart, for protecting us all. And I apologize for the delay.

"--Sam."

Standing between Jim and Manion was Samuel Scheidt.

He turned his back to Manion, still holding the magic sword, and gave a small bow to Jim.

"Get the hell off me!"

Mannion tries to get the sword back from Sam, but he seems to be unperturbed.

Jim understood that this was the difference between the most powerful wizard in the kingdom and himself.

"Sam!"

"Yes."

"Now, have I shown Alicia any of my good qualities?"

"Of course. I'm a guy, but I'm falling in love with you."

I don't have that kind of taste. But I'm glad you made it. You can take care of the rest.

I'll take care of it.

Jim's relief at Sam's arrival pushed him over the edge.

He fell forward, and Sam gently caught him as he fell.

"Oh Samuel!"

At that moment, Manion, who had been ignored, angrily called out Sam's name.
