Sam was lying face down on the ground in the garden of Count Walker's house.

(He's a monster.)

I ache all over.

Just moving my fingers causes a dull ache to spread through my body.

"Oh? Is it over?"

It was Lieselotte, the second daughter of Count Walker, who crushed Sam mercilessly with a single wooden sword.

She was strong enough to tell Ur, whom Sam respected, that she was stronger than him without magic.

(Even Ur could fight her reasonably well. ...... That's a lie!)

If Ur is an exceptional wizard, Liese was an exceptional swordsman.

At first, they fought each other hand-to-hand, unable to get their hands on each other.

Then, Sam was allowed to use his body enhancement magic, and Liese took up a wooden sword, again unable to get a hand or a foot in the way.

Sam, who had prided himself on having become stronger not only in magic but in combat in general during his four years with Ur, had his confidence knocked out of him without mercy.

While Sam was covered in sweat and mud and breathing heavily, Liese did not even break a sweat.

The difference in strength between the two was too great.

(......It hurts just to move. ......You might have a crack in your ribs or arm.)

Sam was not to be trifled with.

He had a strong woman named Ur as his mentor, and he would not pretend to be a half-baked feminist who could not fight against women now.

Even against Liese, I fought with the intention of defeating her from the very beginning.

But the result was this.

"Hey, Sam. Can you use recovery magic?

"...... a little bit."

"Then you can use it. Let's continue."

(And as harsh as Ur)

He casts a restorative spell on his aching body, then stands up and readies his fists.

"Good. Let's go!"

No sooner had he replied than Liese disappeared.

"--!"

I didn't take my eyes off him.

He simply moved too fast for me to follow with my eyes.

But Sam has been through a lot.

He soon finds Liese.

But it is too late.

She was swinging a wooden sword.

A moment later, her body flew through the air.

"You can follow me just in time, but your body doesn't seem to be able to react fast enough.

Hearing Liese's voice, Sam felt a sharp pain.

After a pause, his back hits the ground and the air leaks from his lungs.

"--Kahaha!"

Sam couldn't see Liese's sword line.

She was fast and sharp.

"You seem to have a good eye, but you're still a bit naive. It will take time for you to be able to follow my sword properly."

"...... yes."

"After a while, I think you will be able to at least dodge or catch my sword. When you can do that, I'll stop holding back and we can get more serious.

(-This is too much of a standard to hold back.)

"...... Lise-sama, you are very strong."

"Thank you. I used to be a disciple of Kensei-sama."

"Kensei, is it?"

Sam asked Liese as she stood up, holding her aching body.

"Oh, you don't know? It is a title given to the best swordsman in the country. It's like a court wizard if you're a wizard.

"I didn't know there was such a title."

"The difference from a court wizard is that when you become a kensei, you can open your own dojo. I used to go there myself.

"Heh."

I hear that he is also busy as an instructor and bodyguard for the royal family.

"A disciple of the greatest swordsman......... No wonder he's so powerful. Surely, without magic, he would be stronger than Ur.

"I hope you believe me."

Yes. More than I want to."

Lise smiles at Sam, who makes a bitter face, as if satisfied.

"I've played with your sister a few times, but even with magic she's a good match."

"That's terrifying."

"Oh, my God, you're so rude. It's not so easy when you can kill them faster than you can shoot magic. Anyone can do it if he's fast enough."

How many swordsmen are as fast as Lise?

(This guy is a wizard killer for sure.)

Wizard-killer is a term used to describe the natural enemy of wizards.

For example, a swordsman like Liese who won't let you use magic.

"Your sister didn't let me win easily either. Every time we fought, she would try to come up with countermeasures against me, so I often lost.

According to Lise, she has been losing a lot of matches with Ur.

"But I envy you wizards!"

"Really?"

"Yes! Body enhancement magic is so sneaky! Do you have any idea how long it took me to be able to move in a certain way? But Sam can move just as well with enhancement magic. It's a little frustrating."

"I still couldn't get my hands on Lise-sama, though."

"Hmmm, I can't let Sam beat you yet. He's a disciple of the Sword Sage, after all.

Lise smiles happily.

She must love swords.

She looks so lively, just like Ur, who uses magic.

"I don't have magic, but I had the good fortune to become a disciple of the Sword Saint and I've spent many fulfilling days here. Thankfully, you seem to have a talent with the sword.

"I envy you, because I'm not very good with a sword.

"I guess so. But I guess that doesn't stop some parents from mistreating their own children.

"......, did you know that much about it?"

"I'm sorry if I offended you. It's just a letter from your sister.

Lise looked apologetic, and Sam shook his head, saying he didn't care.

He shook his head and said he didn't care. He had already broken off relations with his parents and he couldn't worry about what had happened in the past.

All I have to think about now is moving forward as a wizard.

"I don't care. I met Ur because I didn't have the gift of the sword. I'm rather glad for that.

"Hmm. You're so positive. And you like your sister very much."

"Yes, with all my heart."

"I envy you, sister. I wish I could be truly loved by a man."

Lise looked strangely lonely when she said that.

"Lise-sama?"

"Yeah? What's wrong?"

"Oh, no, it's nothing."

But she immediately went back to smiling, so I guess I was looking at her wrong.

"Hmmm, Sam is so weird."

Sam is relieved to see Lise laughing like a child.

He thinks that he was mistaken about the lonely expression he saw for a moment.
