I Reincarnated as a Shinai

Chapter 307: Duel ( 2 )

"Whoa~ That lady is good!"

"Heh~ Those guys finally found their match This will be a good fight."

"She's probably a knight with that aura!"

"Hmm No way, she's dressed like a Hunter Perhaps a 2-Star or 3 Star Hunter in my opinion"

"Right, kill them, Miss Warrior Elf!"

As soon as Lyrei showed her blood lust to her targets, the crowd noticed that she wasn't a simple warrior and cheered for her.

They know for sure that she wasn't just all talk so they even decided to voice their dislike to the noble.

"Hmph! I heard that his price was just right"

"Even I can purchase that thing. There shouldn't have been much commotion in the first place!"

Apparently, they were previously afraid to intervene due to Noel Faust's status. But now that someone will take the blame for going against the noble, their real thoughts have finally been revealed. 

Nevertheless, Noel didn't mind them as he even smiled at the crowd It appears that he's quite excited and already thinking about what he will do to these girls once they are in his hands.

"Haha! So, you want all of them to fight you at the same time? You're arrogant! However, we will accept that! Kekeke! Attack her now!" 

As soon as he commanded his bodyguards, they all moved forward and surrounded the female elf who approached them

They brought out their short swords as their weapons!

Everyone could tell that all of them are magic weapons just from the fiery aura they could feel from its blade.

The crowd went silent as the Town Guards created a circle to give them the space to fight.

"Ugh... Not again. This Faust Family is causing a lot of trouble these days."

"Call the chief We can't handle this alone."

Apparently, the guards can no longer control the situation and decided to just let them be. 

At the very least, one of them called for the Chief Guard and should be arriving any minute now

They heard that their chief was previously trained by Chaos Knights and perhaps, he can deal with this situation.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The elf warrior didn't even bother using her Arcane Magic to deal with these guys. 

As someone who had been dueling against Stella most of the time, these guys were considered amateur.

Their sword swings are too wide and she could see a lot of openings. They also have terrible footwork and coordination. 

In short, they are all relying too much on the strength of their arms instead of using techniques or sword arts

'Well, they've just been fighting innocent civilians or low-ranking Hunters anyway' 

Lyrei immediately understood the strength of the four bodyguards. 

With their current skills, they are not even comparable to the apprentice knights that their mercenary squad had encountered before.

Then, to Stella's surprise, Lyrei was suddenly in shizentai and using Chudan-No-Kamae or the Water Stance!

'Ha! So she's secretly learning it from me?' Stella smiled wryly after realizing this. However, she also felt proud that she managed to influence her even without directly teaching her the technique.

'Well, she's been losing against me with my stance She's probably so infuriated and learned it herself'

Although Stella mostly uses Nitouryuu in her battles, she's also practicing her Itouryuu most of the time since her master trained her that way. 

It has become a habit in her daily routine. 

Pah! Pah! Pah!

Lyrei's sword swings and footwork easily immobilized the two of the grown men who pounced at her.

"I knew it It's really similar to Diether Yasmin also had similar reactions to Stella as she marveled at the Elf's skills.

"So, have you learned Kendo as well?" Stella asked Yasmin while Lyrei is beating up those bodyguards.

"Well, I learned a little since Diether stayed in the village for several months as well."

"Heh~ We should really have a practice match sometimes"

"A match? I would accept that" 

Yasmin replied confidently. She knows that they are members of a mercenary squad in the Dukedom as they chatted about it while traveling here.

However, she was still confident with her skills since she honed them for several years as well

"Guhh!"

Thud! Thud! Thud!

It seems that Lyrei didn't go easy with the noble's servants as she actually targeted their throat!

Although she's using her sword with still a scabbard on it, it wouldn't lessen the pain at all!

She knows this clearly as she was using a blunt wooden sword as well when dealing with weaker opponents.

"Stop this now!"

As the servants of the noble writhe in pain and Noel Faust stumbling on the ground due to the shock, the Chief Guard of the town has finally arrived!

"You! What are you standing for! Bring those troublemakers away!"

The Chief is a middle-aged man with a large stature. His commanding tone made the guards act quickly as they carried the servants away. 

They would probably not go to prison but they have to bring them to their post for a while. 

"I'm Roland and the Chief Guard of this town. I'm sorry for the inconvenience Elf Warrior"

The man politely apologized and Lyrei wasn't angry as well so she didn't really mind it. She just thought of Noel as a stubborn nobleman that can be seen every day in this kingdom.

If this has happened in the Dukedom, there was no way this noble would be able to act like this. Since she understood how this kingdom is ruled by the nobility faction, she had to get used to it

"Yes, just have him stay away from us"

"I will follow your orders Men! Bring them away!" Roland ordered the guards.

He also didn't want to stay here for long. He recognized the troublemaker so even without asking, he already knows what had happened.

At the very least, Noel seems to be so shocked that he didn't even speak any words as he was brought away by the guards.

Lyrei then watched the man being brought away with an evil smile

"Hey~ Stella, you didn't forget his lecherous eyes and drooling mouth, right?" Lyrei whispered.

"Of course I'll deal with it. I'm sure that he hasn't learned his lessons yet" 

They ended their conversation there as they finally approached the seller of the stone to purchase it from him.

At last, Lyrei got her hands on the Cryptic Energy Stone
