Chapter 3: The Strongest Swordsman of the Seven Swords, and the Modern Magician

A little before Suimei’s group found Elliot, in the garden of the Hadorious mansion…

“―As I thought, Hero-dono’s sword is still immature it seems.”

“Ku…!”

As that voice mixed with disappointment was bestowed upon Reiji, an extremely bitter taste ran through his mouth. In the middle of their fight, those words that implied Hadorious was testing him came down on Reiji who was down to a knee tasting humiliation.

Reiji did not underestimate him. There was no way he was making light of the situation. And in spite of that, in spite of carrying himself like the hero given the divine protection of the Goddess, Hadorious stood there with a refreshing look as he spoke ill of Reiji like it was mere child’s play.

And the outcome was just that, without even a clean stroke of a sword, Hadorious was able to pour it down on him like that. When Reiji attacked, he would evade the strike and not ever bother to stop the blade. Conversely, when Reiji was on the defence, he was completely unable to dodge, and it took all his effort just to stop those strikes. On top of that, despite not having been struck on his body even once, Reiji’s legs were already at their limits.

And the reason for that, was Hadorious’ diverse sword techniques. It all started when Felmenia yelled out the words sword dance, and it continued with intense herculean strength, refined form, and magic spells. And all of those ended up putting Reiji in an inferior position and left him with a bitter taste in his mouth.

The lightning that had been clad around Hadorious’ sword dispersed, and as the light from the mana lamps illuminated it, he began to scrutinize it like a work of art. Was it a chip in the blade? Or maybe he was checking it for the cloudiness of his own heart. Before long, he finished observing it, and turned to Reiji.

“All of your victories up until now were likely attained only by relying on your gift. However, when you stand before one with experience and skill, the plating cracks so easily like hardened lacquer and crumbles. Just like this.”

He was treating the power of the Goddess as plating. No, he certainly had a point. The power that was filling Reiji’s body right now was not something he acquired on his own. However, precisely because of that…

“Is that something someone from the country who summoned me should say?”

“Isn’t it obvious? If you misunderstood it for your own power, then it is the obligation of the people from the country who summoned you to rebuke you. To simply be at peace from being worshipped is practically a sin.”

―Of course, it seems you have no relation to pride at all though.

Saying that, Hadorious gave his evaluation of Reiji that he arrived at during the fight. And then…

“Hero-dono. How is it? The Goddess’ power? Have you gotten used to it?”

“What does that matter right now?”

“It matters.
