CLANG!
From a strong force, I lost my grip and my sword flew somewhere and landed on the ground. Before I could react, I found the tip of another sword in front of my face. The one holding that sword was no other than the spiky red hair, Rain Barnett.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4SX45EugF
It was completely defeated. I was naive to think I had a chance to win. I could not even land a blow on him.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmH3sEed1m
"I lost," 517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmzBZuyh5V
As soon as I declared my defeat, our surrounding became louder. I could not clearly hear what they said. Although, I could hear the voice of someone making fun of me, the hero's daughter who could not wield a sword, when I came to get back the sword that flew behind me. By the way, that sword was not mine, it was the academy's property.
Unlike the students around us, Rain was oddly quiet. I thought he was going to be the first to make fun of me, but he did not say a word. He just unsheathed his sword without saying anything. He was so loud before. Oliver, who was watching us also said nothing. Their lack of reaction confused me.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPWss1id6r
Just like the first time, the instructor came to us with his murderous glare and ordered us to run 30 laps. Before I could start running, the instructor called up to me.
"Don't mind it too much." said instructor. Before I could ask what he was talking about, he added. "Commander told me he never let his daughter touch sword."
Commander? Was he talking about Clarissa Edelrose's father? Even though I was kind of curious, I did not ask for details and began to run.
I run with all my might to relief my stress. Then, I felt someone matched my speed and tapped my right shoulder. When I looked at my right, I found Oliver running beside me.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wLla8tPYC
"What? Are you going to make fun of me?" asked me coldly.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJQMC3bxTR
"Oh, you figure it out."
Seriously? How honest. It made me want to kick this person on the face. However, I chose to ignore him. I sped up my running, but he managed to catch up.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4dtSPb2Iy
"Now, now. I just want to ask you something."
"Speak. Before I change my mind."
"You are cold, aren't you? Well, whatever. Why did you accept Rain's challenge?" asked Oliver.
Because if I did not, I would get game over. As if he would believe in me if I said that.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqF2qDOKSN
"I simply had no choice."
Hearing my reply, Oliver let out a small laugh.
"You are such a fool. But, thank you."
I was taken aback from his words. Why did he thank me? Without giving me the reason, Oliver run passed me with a smile on his face. His words, his smile, I did not understand the meaning behind them.
