Chapter 35 Duel
Right after I entered the training circle Remi couldn't help but become serious with her sword unlike in the match with Remi. She had a sadistic and excited smile looking at me like I'm some kind of prey for her. My kind and loving sister was replaced by a sadistic and bloodthirsty training demoness.
Remi came to the circle and stood between us to referee the duel,
"Brother, I know you're more powerful than me but I don't know how much more powerful you are than me so let me find out, come at me with your full strength Veli," She said and Remi gave the starting signal to the duel.
She didn't wait for me to attack she quickly took her stance and came running toward me at her full speed but to me, it was a little slow so I got ready to trip her and defeat her quickly and show her the disparity between our strength because if I held back and she caught it I would have to apologize hundred times before she forgives me.
I expected her normal but powerful swing of the sword but it never came she quickly jumped to the side and used an attack spell after seeing that I already caught up with her movements.
(Fire Shot)
She chanted a normal level spell toward me since this is a harmless duel it is the norm to not injure or attack the opponent so badly that they get injured but here Delvi using a fire spell.
"Shit~ Sister, Aren't using attack spells prohibited in friendly duels," I quickly dodge the spell by a very small gap.
"Haha~ Nothing is unfair in battle aren't you the one who taught me that winning is the only thing that matters and not the way you win," She said in a loud voice.
After hearing what she said I couldn't help but laugh wryly.
"So that's how you want to roll Sister then don't regret what happens next," I said while aiming my word at her for the first time.
Unlike Remi, Delvi and the other elites Velian didn't involve in their duels frequently because of a simple reason. He was not a battle junkie and they couldn't defeat him even if they team up. Delvi is the only one who can at least land a hit on him.
Delvi and Veli didn't move after the fire spell but suddenly Veli ran toward Delvi at half of his speed but still it was great than Delvi's speed. Velian decided to hold back so that he wouldn't break his sister's confidence but still he will win this match no matter what.
Delvi tried to block his attack which came at her at an unbelievable speed but she barely reacted.
"So this is your power brother, Just like I thought you're amazing but still I won't go down without giving a fight," She barely blocked my attack and released an attack aiming at my abdomen with her legs.
Since I didn't have enough time to react to her attack it gave a powerful blow if I hadn't been beloved and my physical strength increased greatly I would have been lying on the ground holding my stomach with pain.
I quickly create some distance and thought to myself,
"She sure doesn't hold back even against me, I guess I'll also stop holding back because she is my sister,"
I throw my sword at her without using my full power because it would be fatal even if it's wooden if it hit her at super speed, Even after throwing my sword I didn't stop I followed the trajectory of the sword and quickly grabbed her to a body lock.
Reno and all the others present were truly confused by our fighting style because sometimes we use magic and another time swords and now we use martial arts. It is a method I came up with to develop our abilities in all fields without limiting to one just like the magic swordsman concept. Delvi and I always duel using all these methods without limiting ourselves to one thing.
"Surrender Big sister, I won't release you until you surrender," I tightened my grip on her shoulders and legs and made her immobile.
"Guh~~ I give up Veli, I give up please let me go," She couldn't help but blush a little when I tightly gripped her body in front of everyone but she didn't know that she was being conscious of her brother that others didn't even notice this fact.
Delvi had to give up within the quick grip of Velian but she wasn't frustrated or anything about losing to her brother because she knew Velian was stronger than her despite being younger than her.
The duel was settled without any extra injuries and he had to give some lessons to the group of them. Delvi already went to take a bath because she was exhausted from today's training.
Velian left the training area and walked to find the family which he gave an important Job before the monster outbreak.
"Sorry for intruding," Velian entered the house without knocking or anything.
There were one middle-aged woman and a man doing some complicated stuff with some wood machines.
"Is it a success? Old man," Velian ask with an excited look.
"Young master, I didn't know you were here," The middle-aged woman was surprised to hear the voice of their benefactor.
" It is almost complete young master, the technique you gave us helped to make the process faster," He said looking at Velian.
"Then it's good soon we will need this so if there is any error or problem send a message in your son's hands,"
This was one of the families Velian personally helped in the village. The wife of this middle-aged man was suffering from some kind of mana-lack deficiency so she was bedridden but Velian helped them to return back to normal. Velian had some knowledge about medicine from his previous world plus he learnt a lot from the books his mother brought from the empire about herbs, weapons and monsters.
They were so grateful for his attention to their not-so-valuable family. Their son was in tears after seeing her mother walks normally after this young boy's medicine who was younger than him.
