Chapter 42

“Attention, everyone!”

Rimmer went up to the platform and clapped his hands. The trainees that were focused on training lifted their heads.

“You can see them, right?”

He pointed towards the Owen Kingdom’s knights, who were standing on the right side of the training ground.

“The guests from the Owen Kingdom have requested a spar!”

“A-a spar?”

“That’s so sudden!”

The trainees dropped their jaws at the unexpected mention of a spar.

“Sudden? What do you mean, sudden? I’ve always told you that a swordsman should be ready to swing a sword whenever, even when you’ve just woken up.”

Rimmer clicked his tongue and murmured that they still had a long way to go.

“Hmph!”

“But they are from the Owen Kingdom…”

“Wouldn’t it be b-better to prepare before fighting?”

The trainees still seemed tense, despite Rimmer’s advice.

However, some trainees were thinking completely differently.

Burren and Martha looked through the Owen Kingdom’s knight trainees one-by-one, like beasts looking for their prey.

Runaan just kept training without paying attention to the people talking.

“Hehe!”

After enjoying the trainees’ flustered reactions, Rimmer looked at Raon. His eyes seemed to be asking his opinion.

“Hmm…”

Raon turned his head to examine the Owen Kingdom’s knight trainees.

‘A spar, huh…’

There could be some among the knights, but nobody among the knight trainees were on the same level as him.

But the prince at the center wasn’t a bad opponent to practice the synergy between the River Footwork and Combination Sword.

Raon nodded slowly, and Rimmer’s smile became wider.

“Since everyone has agreed, we can start now. Twenty people will participate, and…”

Rimmer lowered his voice, so that his trainees were the only ones who could hear him.

“I’ve bet my whole month’s salary, so make sure you win. I’ll really kill you if you lose.”

“Haaah?”

“Pardon? Wh-what does that…?”

“Prepare for a match!”

The trainees’ jaws dropped. They wanted to complain, but Rimmer turned around before they could and started to give orders to the instructors.

“Yes!”

As if they knew about it already, the instructors moved the trainees away and started setting up the arena for the spar.

“Hah.”

Raon smirked at seeing that.

‘So, this was it.’

The reason that Rimmer had been acting differently for the last few days was because of this spar.
