Chapter 43 : E-Class Adventurer VS B-Class Adventurer
🕑 Added 2022-05-26 13:58:00 +0000 UTCTL:SummerPeanut
====================================
The sword fight between me and Curus is terrific.
The adventurers and slaves around us were also watching us.
I was using only my Sylphid.
The momentum of the battle was overwhelmingly in Curus's favor but when my sword was deflected and I could not defend myself in time, I would use Wind Cutter to bounce Curus's sword.
Using Wind Cutter instantly at times like this shows its shine.
Whenever I use Wind Cutter without chanting, Curus showed a surprised look.
“I'll ask you again, kid, who are you? How could you possibly contend with me at your age?”
“If I tell you, will you back off? Would you not come after us again?”
“No way. Even if Gedo and the rest of these guys let you go, I will never let you go.”
The sword fight became even more intense after he said that.
Curus was still not serious. And I know he is not serious even now.
But I was getting used to his pace as we continued the swordfight.
When I started to get used to it, the sword fight became more intense. This pattern kept repeating itself.
It is a very good experience for me though.
Because everyone is glued to the fierce sword fight between me and Curus, no one tries to kidnap Clarice and Misha.
There was one time where a member of the defeated Abyss seemed to try to kidnap Misha, but for some reason, Curus blew me away toward Misha to prevent him from doing so.
Apparently, Curus has no intention to kill me.
“What do you want?”
“I don't need to answer your question when you won't say anything about yourself.”
I was willing to tell this Curus guy if it’s just a little bit about what was going on.
“...my name is Mars. I saved Misha from being attacked by a hellsnake in the Devil's Forest and since then we have been looking for Misha's mother together.”
“Did you defeat the hellsnake?”
“I didn't beat it by myself, but yes...”
“Seriously...can you keep this up for another half hour or so?”
“Yeah, I'm getting used to it.”
“Damn! That's why geniuses are... I’ll go a little faster and stronger!”
When Curus said that, his sword flashes really got faster.
How many of the people watching around me could follow the sword fight between me and Curus with their eyes?
But even with this many sword flashes going on, I have a lot of leeways to spare.
Even if I weakened Sylphid a little, it would still be enough to defend myself.
I suspect Curus lowered down his power and only increased his speed.
I don't know why he did that, but anyway, he waved his sword as if he was instructing me.
I decided to get used to seeing the future while I still could, so I completely undid my Sylphid and fought with my foresight.
At first, I could not get used to the vision, and I was almost cut down many times, but I managed to use Wind Cutter, and when I was really about to be cut down, Curus loosened his sword for me.
It is good to know in advance that your opponent is going to attack but if you are not used to the overlapping images, it is hard to tell which is the real attack.
“I suppose now’s a good time…Someone will be intruding soon so we’ll take our leaves alright.
If you want to get stronger, go north to the Confederacy of Lister.
They have the best school on this continent. Lastly, Mars, I want to say this. Always make sure you know who you are up against.”
With that, Curus returned to Gedo.
Gedo was furious that he can't kidnap Misha but with the reasoning that it would take too long with that monstrous child. When Cyrus told him that the time is already up, he easily reined back his anger.
And then Gedo and his gang disappeared into the darkness.
As soon as Gedo and his gang were gone, the members of the Moonlit Dark Night tried to capture us but they easily backed down when I waved my sword a little.
Did the organizer escape already? There’s nobody here including the host.
And Dames has also disappeared. Dames was handcuffed and gagged, so even if he had escaped, he would have stood out...
I thought I might finally be able to catch my breath but suddenly someone came down behind me.
I was on my guard but I didn't think they could get this close and not alert me...
The person tried to kidnap Misha as soon as he appeared.
When I tried to stop him, Misha shouted
“Mom!”
and broke down crying.
Misha's mother looked just like an adult Misha, with green hair and red eyes.
I felt like it was really finally over and I just sat there, distracted.
Clarice walked to me.
“Thanks for your hard work. That person you were fighting just now, it didn’t feel like he’s trying to kill anyone...”
“Yeah, I felt like he was giving me some guidance.”
“I wonder what is his aim? You seemed like you were talking with him just now?”
“Oh, he told me to go to the Lister Confederacy if I wanted to be strong, and also not to mistake who’s my enemies...
Curus doesn't think I'm an enemy, apparently. He also let the Moonlit Dark Night go.
I think he sees things differently than we do.”
After I and Clarice finished talking, we headed toward Misha.
Misha's mother glared at us sharply, perhaps because she had no idea what had just happened here.
All the way until Misha said, "These two saved me.”
“I'm sorry. I am Sasha, Misha's mother. You saved Misha, and yet I treated you with hostility...”
“Don’t be. I know you were anxious, I’m Mars.
I have to go to the west with Clarice, who is next to me, and on the way we happened to meet Misha...”
“Nice to meet you. I am Clarice. We happened to pass by when Misha was being attacked by a hellsnake, and later we were looking for Sasha together.”
“Thank you, both of you. I would like to express it but it's already dark so I'll see you tomorrow.
I really don't want to stay the night in this town but I have hired an adventurer to watch over so there'll be any kidnapping again.”*1
“Thank you very much. I will take you up on your offer.”
After that, I followed Sasha.
I appraised Sasha on the way.
Name: Sasha Febrant
Title: -
Status: Elf, commoner
Condition: Good
Age: 84 years old
Level: 47
HP: 52/52
MP: 102/210
Strength: 38
Agility: 60
Magic: 62
Dexterity: 70
Durability: 30
Luck: 5
Special Ability: Archery (Lv6/D)
Special Ability: Wind Magic (Lv8/B)
Her status is like a magician's version of Curus.
As expected my status is not yet a B-Class adventurer.
Still, her appearance like that at 84 years of age is foul play, isn't it?
I felt something from the battle with Curus earlier, so I gave myself an appraisal.
Name: Mars Bryant
Title: Wind King / Goblin Butcher
Status: Human race, second son of Viscount Bryant
Condition: Good
Age: 6 years old
Level: 14
HP: 43/43
MP: 5291/6021
Strength: 36
Agility: 40
Magic: 48
Dexterity: 38
Endurance: 37
Luck: 30
Unique Ability: Innate Talent (LvMax)
Unique Ability: Clairvoyant (Lv8)
Unique Ability: Lightning Magic (Lv0/S)
Special Ability: Swordsmanship (Lv7/B)
Special Ability: Fire Magic (Lv2/F)
Special Ability: Water Magic(Lv1/G)
Special Ability: Earth Magic(Lv1/G)
Special Ability: Wind Magic(Lv8/A)
Special Ability: Holy Magic(Lv4/B)
My agility had increased even though I had not leveled up.
And my swordsmanship had also risen to 7.
Although my status is not up to B-Class level, I am sure that my skills are at B level.
I headed to the inn with Clarice.
Of course, Clarice and I had separate rooms.
Tomorrow, I have something I want Sasha to teach me.
I went to bed after depleting my magic power as usual.

Author’s note:
If you feel the series is even a bit interesting and are curious about the story’s continuation, please consider giving ★★★★★ and bookmark as it will really help with my motivation. m(__)m
TL’s note:
- This elf mom didn’t retort at all when Clarice talked about her daughter being attacked by a monster even if we discount the possibility of her not knowing what kind of monster is hellsnake.
