Chapter 97 – Kamyu VS Van Dark

“Hey!
Van Dark!
Long time no see!!”

This is the first time since Zach and Ludvik joined.

“I know.
I wondered why Master was smiling so broadly, I wonder if you were there?
Seeing that Master’s mouth got stuck in my ear, I’m not good at earning money.
Damn it…”

“You can’t do this child…”

“I bet 30 cows on Rumika…
Sipal.”

Aww!!!

“Ah!!!
Master, why are you hitting me!!!
Isn’t that obvious?!
I saw that guy attacked the castle to save Rumika!!
You can bet some money!!”

Aww!!

“Aagh!!
I’m going!!
Eat well and live well!!
You tall girl, no, you’re a grooming sex offender!”

“Oh, go carefully~”

“Ah, Master.
Why are you doing this to a kid who came after a long time?
Calm down.
Hey, don’t be shy and come in.
Eat and go.”

He manages to catch Van Dark, who is about to go away in anger at Master’s successive Geumgang Dakbam.

“Sheesh, take off your armor and wipe your hands and feet.”

While Van Dark disappeared into the tower at the main gate for a moment, Master looked at me intently.

“Why, why?!”

Side.

“Let’s make Van Dark into a beggar.”

Hehe. It’s good.
Gambling is a disease, so I will cure you right now.”

Side.

Smile.

I feel alive these days.
As long as Master doesn’t do anything but sneaky tricks.

After a while, Van Dark is put on the aerial terrace.

“Van Dark, sit there.
The food is warmed up.
We are eating too, so please eat slowly.”

“… Do I sit here, and Kamyu sits next to Master?”

“Yep.”

Originally, Master and I were eating at the square table for four.
But when Van Dark came, I went to Master’s side, and Van Dark went to my seat.

“… This isn’t even an encounter.
How could this happen in such a short amount of time when the two fought to the death a few years ago?
Hey. You said you hadn’t been in touch with Master since the last time we met.”

“That is… After breaking up with you, I see you in a state of being possessed for a while…”

“Possession?”

Cook.

Master stabbed me in the side, but my words had already come out of my mouth.

“So, there is a maid in our house called Eva…”

Cook Cook.

Okay.
Using stone armor magic, stabbing like this is nothing.

“Wahhahaha!!!
My teacher, obsession is no joke!!
After seeing that Rumika escaped from the Devil Castle and went to Kamyu, I thought, of course, that Rumika would win!
I completely underestimated Master!
No, Master.
Where are all the arrogant Four Heavenly Kings going and are you monitoring your ex-boyfriend?
Are you a stalker?
It is subject to punishment under the Misdemeanor Punishment Act…”

“… Are these the instructions of the former Demon King?”

“Sometime after the demon king passed away, what kind of excuse did the demon king make…”

Fuck!

“Ah!
Your shin kicked under the table right now?
Hey Camus.
Look at this.
This person is like this.
It’s not too late for you now, so you should quickly switch to Rumica.”

“You are a very funny disciple.
I just bumped into it while straightening my leg.
Don’t listen to Camu.
Anyone who sees me will know that I am a jealous and obsessive woman.
I don’t know about that.”

Master said calmly and took my arm and crossed his arms.

Seeing that, Van Dark’s eyes flashed.

“Camyu, you bet some money too.
Let’s have a big one.
If you bet Rumika now, you win five times!”

“I heard it was boiling the other day, why did it tilt so sharply?”

“What is it?
Rumors spread all over the demon lord’s army that Rumika fired magic flames.”

“Hey!!
What did the corps commander do without cracking down?!”

“How do you catch more than one eyewitness?
It’s not even a military secret.
These days, if you recklessly punish people for introducing advanced barracks culture, you will be scolded.
It’s not the army you used to be in.”

“Under… You are leading the bet, there is no way to stop it.”

“Then.
Because I’m going to make a reverse bet and make a lot of money.
Master, don’t keep competing with skinship.
It’s a foul.”

“Oh, what are you talking about?
The heart connected first, so the skinship followed.
Right, Camus?”

“… Camus, you can’t… Have you already reached the end in a few days?”

“Uh? Haha…”

Van Dark tsk tsk at my awkward laugh and clicked his tongue.

“I was possessed by a fox.
Your life is screwed up because you’re an idiot.
A spouse should meet a true person.
If you only meet face to face, it will be a big deal.
After you come to your senses, you can stand at a wedding hall listening to these sounds.
Keep your senses, in this harsh world.
If you meet me, I can make sure you never get constipated for the rest of your life.”

“Shut up.
Get out of here you bastard.”

After talking about this and that, the meal ended well.

“Wow, Master’s cooking skills have really improved!!
In the old days, there was nothing I could do except apple jam cookies, so I always went out to buy food.”

“As I lived, my talents increased.
Now our sleep. I practiced because I had to feed him.”

Dalgrak.

“Oh my god…
Did you just say ‘baby’?”

Van Dark lost his spoon in shock.

Master pulls my arm and rests her head on my shoulder.

“Huh. Tell me again
Self.”

“Master, I will bring the 1st battalion kids tomorrow, so please do it one more time in front of them.
Kamu, let’s go reverse betting with all our assets.
Turning to Lumica, you are now a chaebol.”

After the meal, eat fruit sherbet for dessert.
After the sun goes down, only traces of the sun shining brightly over the horizon are reflected.

“By the way, what’s going on with Master’s lab?
You were on a different front.”

At my words, Van Dark’s face darkened.

“Did you not hear?
Belochov is dead.”

“What? Commander of the 7th Corps?
That gentleman is skilled.
What happened?”

The 7th corps is another corps under Master’s command.
He was probably guarding the central front.

“That is… I lost a one-on-one match.”

“What?!
No, why is the old man…
What’s the point of a corps commander fighting alone…”

Van Dark fiddled with the spoon.

“That’s right.
Some damn human nearly destroyed the camp by himself, so he came out to reduce the sacrifice of his men and then stopped…
It seems that the soldiers took advantage of the atmosphere and opened the arena for a one-on-one confrontation.
The opponent’s provocation was also great.”

Bitter laugh.

“Belotsov, isn’t that old man also hot-tempered?
I was underestimated as a human being and suffered a change.
The difference in skills was bigger than I thought.
He said he was almost crushed.
To the extent that our soldiers who saw it were terrified and fled.
The soldiers who escaped even gave the other the nickname ‘Shadow of Death’, and it wasn’t even a fuss.
Thanks to that, the 7th Corps has retreated and is reorganizing in the rear.”

“Who is your opponent?”

Van Dark narrowed his eyes at my words.
… When I look into this guy’s eyes, it’s so scary.

“A guy you know.
Alberic Amitie.
He is the main culprit in the assassination of the Demon King.”

Van Dark puts away the sherbet and pours coffee into a small cup.

Slurp.

“Ah, these coffee beans smell good.
It must have been brought from a desert trade route.”

“Hehe, it’s Van Dark.
I’m glad it suits your taste.”

“You know I like coffee.
You are also a master.
Camus.
I know you’re aiming for Alberic because you’re the enemy of your parents and brother, but don’t fight one-on-one.
Now, Caltz has issued a one-on-one fight ban on the entire army.
Rumika also sent a proclamation not to fight Alberic unless there are at least two corps commanders.
I understand your desire to avenge the enemy, but the general consensus is that Alberic’s strength is much stronger now than it was during the demon king assassination incident.
You’re not part of the military, but you’d better keep this order.
One-on-one, I think it will be difficult unless you are at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings.”

“… Even when we ran into each other during the cathedral terrorism last time, I thought he was a corps commander, but he wasn’t strong enough to overwhelm the corps commander.
What the hell happened, did the power surge in such a short amount of time?”

“I know.
I’ll have to find out.
Kamu, keep in mind what Van Dark said.
No one-on-one confrontation.
Rumor has it that Alberic has recently been equipped with powerful items besides the holy sword.”

This is somber news.

“So I’m going to join Balak’s 2nd Legion and go down.
There must be a khan, I came to stab the side of the central front.
While I was there, I asked Master’s regards.
Well, Master will be very sesame-poured, so don’t worry.”

After eating, go downstairs.
Even at night, magical light illuminates the laboratory’s courtyard.

“Hey, do you want to do some sparring with digestion?”

“Oh my, boy.
You guys sparring and staying up all night again?
What if I get hurt?”

“No.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, but it would be okay to fight while finding a feeling.”

If that was my mistake, it was a mistake.

“Let’s do it with our bare hands.”

“It’s good.”

And lost in an instant
Clean too.

“… Uh?
Hey, have you grown up?”

“What is growing?
Did you forget that I won the magic tournament by beating you?
Originally thin.”

It’s not.
Overall, it was definitely a composition where if I fought three times, I would always win twice.
… Is it because he rolled on the battlefield while I was gathering herbs?

“Hey. Do one more round.”

“What?
Do you know how to win again?”

Took.

A bottom tackle that strikes fists and hooks right in.
He is as fast as he specializes in wrestling.
Besides, the gymnasium is on a grassy field, so there is no need to worry about chafing your legs.

Pod!

“Cheet!”

This time, he uses the ample gym space to fall back at an angle and harasses him with tackle defense and outboxing.

“Chaha!!”

“!!”

Suddenly, an unexpected scene appears.
Van Dark, who was only talking about grappling such as wrestling and jujutsu, kicks?

I hurriedly ducked to avoid the back kick that came out of nowhere.
Fortunately, the preliminary action was large, so I was able to react.
It’s true that I was taken aback and surprised.

“What, all of a sudden.
Do you even imitate Ran?”

“To become strong, you have to try everything.
That’s why it’s strong.”

Kicks from mid- to long-distance stretch backwards.
It’s an unfamiliar look, so let’s watch the preliminary movements until you get used to it.
It’s fast because it’s kicking, which is the base of Taekwondo, but since Van Dark is the type who doesn’t use his feet well, his movements are strangely big and clumsy.
Of course, the power is strong, so you should never hit it.

However, if Van Dark knows that, he hits the ball.

Giing.

Stumble.

“!”

Vision distortion.

The focus fluctuates here and there like a drunken person.

But I prepared magic as well.

Loss of vision.

Stumble.

Van Dark, who tried to scatter my vision and gain the upper hand in the kick game, staggered greatly.

I only roughly checked the location, and then kicked my ankle as if I was sweeping the ground.
Clean sleep kick.
If you can’t hit the dot attack, attack with a line.

Fuck!

“Kuk!”

Van Dark, who lost his balance, tackled me as if rolling on the floor.

Dig!

Even if his eyes are blind, Van Dark has no problem attacking the opponent as long as they are in contact with him.
Because you can do things like twisting and choking with your senses.

On the other hand, I have a magic that is efficient compared to the power consumption called vision distortion.
While defending my attacks with magic, I can push them with superior taijutsu.

I’m basically a striker, so a field of vision distortion that scatters RBIs is enough.

“What a dildo?!
Come here, Kamyu!”

If it’s a simple magic battle, I have the upper hand, but if it’s a hand-to-hand battle with magic
Van Dark prevails.

… This is one of the reasons why I lost the magic tournament.
In a situation where I can only use a wooden sword or a staff, if I use the same method of helping with magic and fighting with chess, Van Dark is superior to me.

Puck!

“Quit!”

“Whoa, whoa, where are you tackling?
Is that an afterimage of me?”

After solving the distortion of vision, I kicked Van Dark with a low kick.
While turning counterclockwise to make it difficult to catch.

“Whoup!”

Van Dark solves the blindness and rushes at me.

“Fire Arrow!”

Meticulously mixes up ranged attacks in advance.
Since he kicked his leg with a low kick, the situation is a bit close to avoiding the magic.

Jiing.

He spreads an instant shield to block the arrow of fire, then briefly extends his jab and slaps his face while falling backwards.

“Acceleration.”

I am caught on one leg by Van Dark’s quickened speed.

Chit.

Cooong.

Can’t defend against a takedown, so it goes backwards.
But in the middle of it, I grabbed the neck and turned it, and I pressed Van Dark from above.

Whirik!

Van Dark grabs my arm and wraps me around his thigh.

The skill Master put on me, the triangle choke.

“Cheongeunchu (千斤錘), Vajrapani (金剛不壞).”

“Seokgap.”

I’m sorry but I’ve already seen that pattern.

It’s enough if I raise my defense with stone armor and harden it before the twisting or strangulation is completely done.

Kudo deuk!!

Van Dark’s body tries to strangle me, but it doesn’t work for me, who is already prepared.
I crouch in turtle pose to protect my neck.

“Energy Drain.”

“Joy.”

I knew it would be like this.
Van Dark’s special magic that sucks the opponent’s energy.
He is good at grappling, such as wrestling and jujutsu.
It’s a very good choice to mainly use this kind of suction type magic based on physical contact.

… I like to use it when attacking a man and getting exhausted and committing a crime.
So technical proficiency is no joke.
Your specialty is your hobby!
Because he is the strongest gay, he is full of motivation.

The second reason why Van Dark has an advantage in the tournament magic tournament.
It’s because you don’t get tired because you replenish your energy with suction.

But what?

You’re not the only one who uses magic that works better with physical contact.

“Psychic suppression.”

Pajijik!!

Now it’s a battle of attrition.

The battle of whether Van Dark’s energy drain sucks all my energy first, or whether I subdue Van Dark’s mind first.

“Huh!”

Knowing from his experience that he will lose if he goes to a war of attrition, Van Dark solves the Cheongeunchu and the Diamond.
Van Dark has two qigong skills and one magic.
I have two magics.
At the same time, I have an advantage to keep it for a long time.

But what if you solve it?
I don’t solve it either

Stone armor release. Blink.

Flash!

“Oops!”

Moving very slightly to Van Dark’s bedside, I get up and stamp it down with his foot.

Cooong!

“Kuk!”

I crouch down to block it, but I deliberately step on my hand and fingers and kick it.
This guy’s body is strong, so it doesn’t work on his arms.

Puck! Puck!

You can’t give him a chance to cast his blink spell.
When trying to memorize a spell, he occasionally kicks his side with a soccer kick.

“Geumgang Buddha.”

“It was a mistake.”

Don’t defend yourself, get out.
If you stay still, won’t I keep putting mental pressure on you?
Every time you kick, contact also occurs, so the suppression is accelerated.

Pajijik!!

The sparks from Van Dark’s head are gradually fading.

“Ugh, surrender!”

Hehe, 1 on 1.”

“Hey, one more round.”

“Of course.
It’s cool to win two matches in a row and train.”

Time passes like that…

“Hey, hey. One more round.”

“Is it 5 to 4 now?”

The blink spell works well, but it unnecessarily ate too much mana and stamina, so I lost the next version.
Since then, it’s been going back and forth like this.

“Haam, aren’t you sleeping?”

I changed from a sky blue dress to a silk negligee, put on a shawl, and came out to the gymnasium.

“Hey, switch to weapon warfare.”

“Good.
There are training weapons over there.”

It’s on fire, but can you sleep?
I got the pill today, I finished it and went to sleep.

In the end, Dalian ended only after I won two games in a row in the 15th game.
To be precise, Master finished it.

“Disarm, slow, bind, subdue.”

“Keep it off…”

“Master… The magic quadruple is too much…”

“Shut up, you guys.
You guys sleep, I sleep too.
Ha-am, let’s go in.”

“I will sleep with Kamyu today.
Go to bed first.”

“No.
Are you going to sleep and talk all night?”

“Sheesh. What school trip director did you come from?”

Master is strict in the strange.

Master inadvertently took me to her bedroom, but when I pointed at Van Dark, she took notice and headed for the guest room tower.

I wash, change clothes, and lie down.

“… By the way, do we sleep like this?”

Three beds.

Master on the middle bed.

Me and Van Dark lay on both beds.

“Then.
Master must protect me from you.
Don’t think nonsense, Van Dark.”

You shouldn’t be offended by that guy.
Because he is an ex-convict.
Although it ended in failure.

“Now, both of you, do it.”

“I can’t sleep because I worked out earlier…”

“Oops.
So I dried it
You come here
I’ll hug you and sing you a lullaby.”

“… Camu, you live with that kind of treatment.
I’ll keep this a secret.
If it spreads outside, all the men in the demon king’s army will come to assassinate you.”

“Master, it’s okay.
I am good alone.
Coo…”

It’s a day that somehow passed by
It is a night that reminds me of my childhood.

Alberic, you lightly subdued a corps commander in a one-on-one confrontation?
It’s been 5 years since I got my sword in my hand?

Nana Rumika, who has dark blood, and our teacher, who became the youngest ever Four Heavenly Kings, did not grow up that fast.

It is said that humans have a shorter lifespan and a steeper growth rate than demons, but they picked up the sword after becoming an adult…
How do you grow so fast?

It is full of doubts.
What the hell are you doing, Alberic?
