“To the west! Head of the ducal guard of Genos, Melfried! To the east! Shin Ruu of the forest’s edge!” the judge shouted.

Shin Ruu was focusing as hard as he could. His limbs felt heavy, as if they belonged to someone else. He had defeated numerous swordsmen over the course of the morning, and his body was hitting its limit.

He had already long been forced to endure the suit of armor he was wearing, and which he wasn’t at all accustomed to. Of course, its weight was nothing compared to the cavalry armor that had been given to him before as part of Geimalos’s plot... Or at least, that was how he had felt this morning. But now it felt like it was dragging his entire body down to the ground. Furthermore, the armor limited the mobility of his joints and seriously restricted his vision. He only had a narrow rectangular gap in the front of his helmet to see his opponent through.

Is he not tired? But he just faced off against Geol Zaza... Shin Ruu wondered to himself, but then he brushed the idle thought aside. Whether or not his opponent was exhausted, it didn’t change what he had to do. He needed to dredge up all of his strength as a hunter of the forest’s edge and fight until his body gave out.

“Begin!” the judge shouted, and Melfried took a sharp step forward. Shin Ruu leapt to the side in order to dodge, preparing to swing his own blade...only for a silver flash to fly his way from an unexpected angle.

What?!

Shin Ruu had managed to stop himself just in time, but a weighty blow rushed right past his chest. As he was unable to fully dodge it, his opponent’s blade scratched the surface of his chestplate. It was such a sharp slash that it gave off sparks.

What was that? Even if my movements are dulled, his blade never should have reached me... Shin Ruu thought, trying to get some distance while suppressing his confusion and attempting to catch his breath inside his helmet. Melfried’s longsword had started off in his right hand for his first strike, but now it had moved to his left. That was how that attack had come from such a strange direction. I see... When we first met in the post town, he was carrying two swords. And when he was hiding his identity to lure out the criminals from the Suun clan, he went by the nickname “Twin Fangs.”

Melfried was most likely capable of fighting with two blades at once. In which case, even though he only had one blade now, he could still attack freely with either arm.

He beat Geol Zaza without using that technique?

Melfried took another big step forward. Shin Ruu took a swing to try to snap the nobleman’s blade, but it was lightly brushed aside. Just like Leiriss, Melfried was skilled at redirecting power. While he was larger than the younger noble and brimming with strength, his swordsmanship was still like a beautiful dance.
