I stirred awake.

When I did, I realized that I was on the ground. Something soft rested against my head. What was I doing again? Slowly, I cracked open my eyes and saw Helen’s face right in front of me. She looked teary.

Right. I was in a battle with Helen, testing out her armor...

“He’s awake!!!” Helen yelled.

Everyone gathered around.

“Are you okay?” Diana asked, peering at me worriedly. The rest of my family wore similar expressions.

“Yeah,” I replied. “My jaw hurts a bit, but I’m fine everywhere else.”

They all breathed a collective sigh of relief. Krul and Lucy started licking my face. By now, I’d finally realized where I was—Helen was in front of me, and everyone else was staring down at me from a short distance away.

This means...

“Whoa!” I cried out hastily. “S-Sorry!”

I immediately tried to get up—apparently, I’d been using Helen’s lap as my pillow. But my efforts to move were in vain. Helen and Diana used quite a bit of their strength to push me back down while Samya, Anne, and even Krul watched on. I feel like you guys could restrain an ogre with this strength.

“You might be fine,” Diana said, “but you should rest a bit more just in case.”

I decided to obediently follow her orders, though I was extremely embarrassed by my position.

“Well, it’s a total loss for me!” I declared brightly, still lying down. Though I’d guarded myself against most of Helen’s attacks, I hadn’t been able to display any offense. My defeat was only a matter of time...

“You really are so strong,” I said with a grin.

I reached out to touch her face, and she squeezed my hand tightly. She smiled back as though to say I was only stating the obvious.

“Honestly...I didn’t expect anyone to last so long against the Lightning Strike,” Anne murmured, gazing at me with obvious surprise.

“Was the battle really that long?”

My memory was hazy. Our battle had felt so brief, yet so long. Helen was also tilting her head to one side in confusion, and I guessed that she and I shared this sentiment.

“It lasted around thirty minutes,” Rike said. Apparently, she’d already gotten used to everything—she didn’t look at all shocked. Which...is also a problem...

“Thirty minutes, huh...”

“Yep.”

And still, Helen didn’t seem exhausted. I, on the other hand, had only been able to strike back twice. Our battle was definitive proof of her swordsmanship, and it also proved another thing...

“I guess the armor fits you perfectly,” I said.

“Huh? Y-Yeah. Of course,” Helen replied. “I’ve never had anything better.”

“I see. That’s great.”

If she could move around with gusto for thirty minutes, it meant that the trial had been a huge success. The armor’s endurance probably didn’t need to be tested; after all, I’d forged it the same way I would a sturdy sword.

“The gold from your armor glittered magnificently. You looked like a real bolt of lightning.” Lidy described the scene with her eyes closed. Was she trying to remember what she’d seen?

Anne gave a dry smile. “But it was so fast that I could barely see what was going on.
