Chapter 26 Competition
"Have you ever competed with others?"
In the middle of the courtyard, Nalia had been standing there waiting for a long time.
Seeing that Sirius had finally calmed down at this moment, she did not use this excuse to continue to accuse him, but asked straight to the point.
"Probably not..."
Hearing this ambiguous answer, Nalia frowned and said with some displeasure:
"If it is, it is, and if it is not, it is not. Don't give me an uncertain answer."
"No." The alert radar in Reese's heart immediately buzzed, and there was a look of fear on his face that didn't look like acting. "I have never learned swordsmanship. I'm afraid I am not qualified to practice swordsmanship with the emperor." "
Whether I am qualified or not is not up to you. Forget it."
Nalia looked at Sirius with some humor, "Just like you have become a royal noble now, this qualification is not decided by you, but by me.
So don't make decisions for me in front of me in the future. And...you are already qualified now. After all, haven't you already fully assumed this role?"
I don't know whether her words were sarcastic or complimentary, but Sirius simply took it as a compliment. There is no way to live comfortably without skin and shame.
"Okay."
"Take out your sword and follow my movements."
Nalia stopped scolding Sirius, but turned around and walked not far in front of Sirius.
At this moment, she was holding the same unedged long sword, and the blade of the sword was shining with a cold light. This light seemed to tear an invisible crack in the air with Nalia's swing.
Her movements are smooth and precise, with every step and every turn demonstrating her mastery of swordsmanship.
There is also a kind of elegance in this movement, which looks very beautiful against the swaying of the snow-white ponytail, just like an ice elf dancing in the snow.
Sirius was also a little stunned for a moment. He was not because Nalia was too charming at the moment, but because...
"Sister Royal, I can't keep up with your movements..." "
..."
Nalia was a little confused. A feeling of impatience. Of course, she never thought about actually training this man.
After all, for a long time in the future, when there are outsiders, the other party will be the second prince of the empire, and among the royal family of the Xilin Empire, even if she is the eldest princess, her status in the eyes of the common people It's still a bit lower than Sirius.
Sirius's inability to use the awakened power is still a secret that has not been announced to the public, not only to protect the face of the royal family, but also not to let other foreigners who covet the territory of the Xilin Empire underestimate their strength.
Letting such a fake grow up with such an identity will definitely not do her any good.
"Since you can't keep up with the movements, then just compete with me."
"...Huh?"
This time Nalia ignored Sirius and made an attacking posture to remind him to pay attention. It immediately turned into a thunder and rushed towards him.
How could someone like Sirius know the swordsmanship of this world when he was halfway through the journey? So before he could react, he felt his jaws tremble, a numb feeling burst out from it, and then the long sword in his hand flew away. came out and fell to the ground in the distance. Before the sound of the iron sword hitting the ground ended, Sirius let out a cry of pain, and his whole body was knocked to the ground by the force from Nalia's elbow.
Before Sirius could continue to whine on the ground, Nalia walked up to Sirius' fallen sword, picked it up with the tip of her sword, and the sword flew not far from Sirius.
"Get up and continue."
This woman...is really sick!
But having said that, it seems that I have just acquired a skill to control the weather, and the effect seems to require some damage to be triggered.
If he hadn't felt that directly saying to Nalia, "Didn't you eat? Tickling like this" was a bit too courting, Sirius would have really wanted to provoke her.
Besides, clay figures are all very angry. Isn't this stinky woman just a character in his works? She actually stepped on his head like this?
Sirius struggled to get up from the muddy ground, his clothes stained with dust and mud. There was an unwilling flame burning in his eyes. Although the confrontation just now put him at a disadvantage, his will was not broken.
He reached out and picked up the long sword next to him. The dirt on the sword was roughly wiped off by him. Then he grasped the hilt of the sword again, determined to challenge Nalia again.
And that woman was standing not far away at the moment, with no trace of pity or wavering in her eyes, only coldness and contempt.
She watched Sirius stand up again, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes. At this moment, her posture was elegant and calm, as if the battle just now was just a game to her.
Sirius shouted and rushed towards Nalia with all his strength. The edge of his sword cut through the air, causing a sharp sound of wind.
However, Nalia had obviously anticipated his move. She turned her body lightly and easily avoided Sirius' attack. Then she gently raised the sword in her hand, and knocked the sword from Sirius' hand away.
This behavior seemed to be deliberately humiliating him, and it was accompanied by words that confirmed this point:
"There is progress, but there is still a big difference."
Before Sirius could say anything, Nalia made the next move. He arrived at lightning speed, and Sirius felt a sharp pain in his chest before he even had time to react, and then his whole body flew backwards.
He fell heavily to the ground and felt severe pain in many places on his body. He had obviously suffered some internal injuries.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened and became covered with dark clouds. As Sirius's injury worsened, the weather around him began to deteriorate, and drizzle began to fall.
The rain hit their faces, bringing a bit of coolness and making Sirius feel happy.
Looks pretty good? He only suffered some non-fatal internal injuries, and it started to rain.
If this puts him on the verge of death...
While Sirius was thinking about these masochistic things in his mind, Nalia on the other side was a little surprised by the sudden rain.
Rain dripped down her hair, and her originally neat ponytail became tight and moist, and each strand of hair shone heavily.
The feeling of getting wet made Nalia a little uncomfortable, so she put away her sword and said coldly to Sirius on the ground:
"That's it for today, don't lie in the rain."
