"Sam, don't let that pervert get the better of you. You're Sister Ur's disciple!"

We'll be watching from a little distance. I'm sure you'll win.

"Thank you, Erica and Lise. I'll win the competition to make Ur ashamed of me. I mean, I will not be defeated by someone who perverts himself in Ur's underwear!

Erika and Liese gave words of encouragement and moved to the edge of the courtyard to watch Sam and Günther facing each other.

"Are you ready?"

"Whenever you're ready."

Sam is in high spirits while Günther is looking cooler.

This is Sam's first battle since arriving in King's Landing.

The other day, he had a trouble with a nobleman in the dungeon, but that is not part of the battle.

This time, he will be facing a court wizard.

It was a good opportunity to test my abilities.

"But first let's get ready for a fight..."

Günther snaps his fingers.

A moment later, I saw several layers of wards covering the courtyard and the building.

"-- wards."

"Heh, did you notice? I'm a warding expert. And I'm proud to say that so far no one but Ulrike has broken my wards."

"Well, then, I'm the second one."

"Hmmm, that's very brave of you. I hope so. My fighting style is quite simple. All I can do is put up wards. It's not that I can't fight, but it's just not my style.

"Classy."

"So, if you can penetrate my wards, I will surrender. You win. I wish you good luck with the power you inherited from Ulrike.

Even before the battle, Günther was as calm as the surface of a calm lake.

"You're talking from the top, let's see how long you can keep that attitude up.

In contrast, Sam's eyes sparkle and he smiles ferociously, his canine teeth bared.

He is itching to fight the court wizard.

"I have great respect for you, Ulrike's apprentice, and I swear to you that I will use my warding skills to the best of my ability. Come on, let's see what you can do."

Here we go.

I didn't need a signal.

They looked at each other and nodded, and Sam kicked the ground.

With his physical abilities explosively enhanced by his magical powers, he quickly closes in on Günther.

"--Yes, yes, you're fast! But not too fast to react. Even if you couldn't."

Sam unleashes a fist with all his might.

But..,

"The wards that protect me will prevent you from attacking me."

True to Günther's word, Sam's blow was met with a roaring sound and a hard ward.

"--Shit."

"Badly behaved boy. But you're fast, and you're good with a single blow."

"Don't get all worked up just because I stopped one of them, huh?"

Sam's magic is growing.

"--flame."

A roar, and flames engulf Sam.

His enhanced physical abilities became even more powerful, and he became tinged with flames.

Sam kicks the ground again, and fires fist after fist and kick after kick at Günther.

"Heh. "Heh... body enhancement magic with flames. ...... I've never seen this before."

Although his attacks are blocked by the wards, Sam does not slow down.

If one blow fails, two. If that doesn't work, repeat the attack.

Nothing is absolute in this world.

Even if the barrier is strong, if Ur has destroyed it before, Sam can do it too.

"I wonder if I see Liese's quirks here and there. I wonder if Liese is the master of the body art, no, it looks like Ulrike brought it up and Liese trained her.

"UAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

He throws a kick with all his might, but is once again blocked by the warding.

During this time, Günther has not taken a single step.

Of course, he is not doing nothing, since he is consuming magic power to maintain the warding, but there is no doubt that he can afford to do so.

"You can see that I have a strong ward protecting me, can't you? I know your attack is a dual attack of blows and flames, but neither of them will reach me."

"I don't know about that."

Sam's lips lift up in a grimace.

"--What?"

He concentrates all the fire in his body into a raised fist.

The fist, now stronger than ever, is filled with a high density of flame.

A blow is released with the fire energized by the magic power.

"UAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The fist hits the ward and bursts into flames.

Sam does not stop.

He takes one more step to break through the warding, and increases his magical power.

"--, that's a great amount of magic power!

The heat alone was extraordinary.

Without the warding, Günther might have been burned to death.

"But not enough to penetrate my wards...?

Günther's eyes widened and Sam's smile deepened.

"I win!"

"Nonsense!"

Cracks appear in Günther's pride and joy.

It sounds like glass cracking, and the wards covering him creak, one by one.

"- Very good. That's why you are Ulrike's disciple. Body enhancement magic and fire, simple at first glance, but with your tremendous amount of magical power you can be a great threat. I see."

"It's a hard ward. But not unbreakable! The dragons we fought on the southern continent had harder wards!"

"Hmmm, I wouldn't want to be compared to a dragon. But, Sam. My wards still hold. Cracks and all, but it's not shattered."

I know it when I see it.

And you're not ready yet. Am I right?"

At Günther's question, Sam extinguished the flames and took a giant leap backward.

"Let's settle this. I know you have the potential to break my wards. I'm going to do my best to deploy my wards. I want you to give me your best."

"I'll take it. But first, let me ask you something. But first let me ask you... Are you sure the wards covering the courtyard are really sturdy? I don't want anything to happen to Liese-sama and the others."

"Ha-ha-ha-ha, you sound just like Ulrike! You think you've already won? I'm the one you're attacking, right? Unless there is something wrong with my warding, I will protect them."

The reason Sam didn't go all out from the beginning was to keep Liese and the others out of it.

This is an urban area and the residence of Count Walker's family.

Sam does not want to cause damage to the surrounding area.

Above all, although they are fighting, Sam does not intend to kill Günther.

In fact, he does not want him to die.

That is why he is waiting and seeing.

"The warding that covers this place now is the best I could make for a real fight with Ulrike. It is not so fragile that it can be destroyed by you who only inherited its power.

"-- then I'll give it a try."

Sam quietly opened his hands and chanted in a low voice.

The short but magical chanting released all of Sam's inner magic.

"...... beautiful."

A crimson magic power rose up to envelop Sam.

Even Sam's black hair is dyed red by this magic.

"You must put all your strength into the warding if you want to die.

All the magic taught and inherited by Ulrike was now unleashed here.
