That’s Why She’s the Captain

"Yo! I'm back!"

Helena smiled widely at the three of them then continued

"You guys are getting stronger huh? That guy would've fought my past self into a draw and the three of you managed to fight on equal terms with him. I must say I'm impressed."

After hearing Helena's words of praise, the three of them were giddy but ashamed. In the end, they still lost and couldn't protect the town on their own.

They had to rely on their captain again in the end.

If only they knew what Helena did, they wouldn't feel this way.

Helena actually arrived earlier but she didn't immediately show herself. There were two reasons why she did this.

First, she wanted to see how much did her students grow and the second reason is because she…wanted to show off again by showing up at a critical moment.

She was very happy that she was able to show up again at the most perfect time. In addition, she managed to kick the old fart squarely in the face which was very satisfying.

"K…Kuuuuhh…Who the hell are you?"

Iron Tiger asked Helena in bewilderment. This girl showed up out of nowhere and kicked him in the face. He didn't even sense her presence.

Helena looked at Iron Tiger and said

"I'm the one who will end your existence in this world"

Veins popped in Iron Tiger's head upon hearing Helena's reply. This little girl is disrespecting him? I'll teach this bitch a lesson.

"Quite the sharp tongue little girly. I'll make sure to discipline you in my bedroom once I defeat you."

Helena also got quite pissed off after hearing Iron Tiger's remarks.

"You senile old fart can still get your thing up? Isn't it supposed to be dried up by now?"

Alex, Sabre, and Warren almost couldn't stop themselves from laughing. The mouth of this captain of theirs is a little too vicious no?

After hearing Helena's insulting words, Iron Tiger roared in rage as he charged towards Helena.

"You talk too much little girly! Take this!"

*CLANG*

Iron Tiger's confident smile was replaced by utter shock and disbelief. Not only did Helena successfully block his attack without budging an inch, he was even sent sliding back.

This only meant one thing, this girl's physique is stronger than his own!

He didn't lose his composure though, he was a veteran of many battles and has survived until now. Lastly, his swordsmanship already broke through to tier 1 master swordsman.

If he's no match in physique, then he will just outclass Helena in swordsmanship.

Unbeknownst to him, Helena was already a tier 1 master swordsman since last year. In addition, she went to train inside the Forest of Echoes.

How could she stay at the same level? This old fart had no chance of winning since the beginning!

"Ohh you're quite good little girly, parrying my strikes like this."

A few more exchanges and Iron Tiger is becoming more and more anxious. Helena hasn't attacked yet but she is successfully defending against all of his attacks.

"Haaaahh…You're already so old and you're still only at this level? Talk about having no talent. How lamentable!"

After hearing Helena's sigh, Iron Tiger almost spat blood out of anger.

"You little bitch! You're still talking even though you're just getting pushed back by me!"

"Pushed back? Hahahahaha stop daydreaming old fart. I'm just giving you a chance to show me what you got. It seems like you're only at this level though."

"How about you show me what you got instead of yapping like a bitch?!"

"Gladly"

After the short exchange, Helena quickly changed from defender to attacker.

"Old fart! Take this! And this! And this!"

She threw successive slashes and after defending a few hits…

"AAHHHHHH!"

Blood sprayed through the air as Helena cut off Iron Tiger's left hand.

"Iron Tiger my ass, your hand is so soft that I cut it so easily."

Iron Tiger was not in the mood to retort though as he charged at Helena and continued slashing wildly.

"Hey old fart, calm down! You won't hit me if you don't aim properly! Look at me! Aim like this!"

*SPURT*

"AAAAARRRGGGHHHHH!!"

Blood spurted again. This time from Iron Tiger's right leg. He was going crazy from both the pain and the humiliation.

This young woman has been talking shit to him since the beginning.

"I'll show her what I, Iron Tiger is made of!"

"Die!"

A faint red sharp light extended from Iron Tiger's sword.

"Captain watch out!"

"C-Captain!"

The squad leader's were worried upon seeing Iron Tiger's attack using the last bits of his energy.

"Haaahh…Talentless…"

Helena merely sighed at Iron Tiger's attack.

She coated her sword with faint white sharp light and cut Iron Tiger's sword intent in half.

"N-No…There's no way this is possible! How young are you! Even in the Terravalle Kingdom, there are only a few master swordsmen…How could you become a master swordsman at such an early age?!"

Iron Tiger was going crazy from utter shock and disbelief.

"I told you, I'm just more talented than the likes of you!"

*SPURT*

Helena finally slashed Iron Tiger's head off. The head flew far away before finally landing in front of the officers of the nobles' army

"NO!! IRON TIGER!!"

The nobles' army cried out in despair upon seeing their best warrior's head rolling on the ground.

"R-Retreat!! Everyone!! Retreat!!"

The remaining commanders quickly called for a retreat after seeing Iron Tiger's head rolling on the ground.

How could Blanc let them escape though? He ordered everyone to quickly drink their remaining potions and give chase to the invaders.

Half an hour later, the retreating invaders were running out of stamina. Blanc's army quickly caught up to them and killed each and every one of them.

He already knew the intention behind their attacks and there was no need to interrogate the commanders so he just ordered his men to slaughter them all.

A few more minutes passed and they were completely routed.
