Instant kill

"Why am I here?

　I was waiting for the results of the appraisal at the guild when a government official came to me.

　I was waiting for the results of the appraisal at the guild when a government official came to me and said he wanted me to handle the quest.

　Then Captain Elasor intervened, saying he was more qualified.

　Before he knew it, he was going to fight a duel to see who was stronger.

　That's why Artoo was waiting for Eraso at the dueling grounds of the royal palace.

"Mister Artoo. I'm looking forward to seeing your strength today.

　The bureaucrat spoke to Artoo.

Yes, ....

　A few moments later, his dueling opponent, Captain Eraso, appeared with Gilmas.

I thought you were going to run away in fear, but you made it. I'll give you credit for that.

　Captain Eraso came towards Artoo, laughing.

Gilmas, if you beat this guy, you will get the right to challenge the quest to take the knight exam.

　Captain Eraso tells Gilmas.

"What? I was wondering who it was, but it's the guy I restructured the other day, No-Skill. Isn't it a piece of cake to beat this guy?

"Yes, it is. It will probably kill him instantly.

　I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

So, let the two of you begin your duel.

　The official told them plainly.

The first person to strike a blow and damage the life of the ward wins. No further attacks will be allowed. Understood?

"Yeah, I know what you mean.

　Captain Elasor laughed.

Yes, I understand.

　The two men faced each other.

The two faced each other, "Then let's begin!

　He was the first one to activate his skill.

"Dragon Breath!"

　I'm sure you've heard of it.

　It is a skill that kneads up a huge flame and releases it at once.

　As he declared, he was ready to kill them instantly.

　On the other hand.

"Fireball activated!

　Alto activated the simultaneous activation text of Fireball.

"Hahaha!　You can't beat me with a fireball!

　You can't beat me with a fireball!" Eraso laughed, and then shot out the flames he had built up.

　--But.

　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

　Both of their skills clashed -- but the outcome was obvious from the start.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

You can't be serious.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

　It's a great way to make sure you don't get caught in the middle of the action.

　I'm not sure what to make of it. As it is, he is slammed into the ground behind him.

　As Eraso had declared, it was an instant kill.

　However, it was Eraso who lost.

"The winner, Artoo.

　The official declares victory.

"What the hell?

　Gilmas, who was watching from the side, widened his eyes and exclaimed.

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.

"Oh, I lost to that incompetent no-skill bastard ...?

　Then the official came up to Artoo and said, "You are indeed a man of reputation.

You are indeed as powerful as your reputation!　It is people like you who are worthy of being knights.

　Artoo scratches his head.

Thank you, sir.

　Then Eraso, who has finally regained his senses, walks back towards Artoo and the others.

"Wait!　This guy cheated!　If he didn't, there's no way I could lose!

　The official was taken aback by the groundless accusation.

　But there was one person who was even more offended by his words.

"Don't talk nonsense.

　--A dignified voice echoed.

　All the people in the room looked at her as she appeared.

"Princess ...!

　The official said and bowed his head.

　I'm sure you'll be able to understand.

"Oh, Princess?

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
