Chapter 6 Strongest, Winning Against His Father

Right before my father Castor is going to block my sword, I concentrate the Physical Reinforcement on my legs and stepped in diagonally in low posture .

Castor's sword pa.s.sed over my head .

I'm short because I'm 6 right now . Opponent that's too short are unexpectedly hard to hit .

And then I stab my sword toward his knee while making use of the momentum .

Compared to slas.h.i.+ng, thrusting is hard to block and deal with sheer strength . All the better if the opponent let their guard down .

However-- .

"Hmph!"

My father Castor blocked my stab .

I thought this could possibly end the the match, but apparently, my father Castor didn't let his guard down that much .

However, that's also within my expectation .

I activate 【Ground Shrinkage】 without stopping my momentum . I sneaked right behind my father .

"Mu . . . He's gone!?"

My father lost sight of me .

【Ground Shrinkage】 is actually not a magic that lets you move behind your opponent in an instant .

It creates a blind spot on the opponent's awareness which you use to slip past them, it's essentially a magic that lets you slip through the opponent's awareness for only an instant . That's the 【Ground Shrinkage】。

This would have used 10 times the amount of magic power if it was with the First Crest, as expected of the Fourth Crest . The magic was invoked perfectly .

It seems being a crest that specializes in close quarter combats isn't just for show .

Even though I knew about it already, actually using one in person made me realize its strength all the more .

I think this had already surpa.s.sed the past me before my first 100 years back then . I'm already convinced that reincarnating was the right thing to do with only this much .

However, I don't have time to bask in emotion . 【Ground Shrinkage】 could only buy me an instant .

The perfect timing . And a trajectory that's hard to block by human anatomy .

Even in my past life there's not many who could block an attack from their perfect blind spot like this without magic .

However, my father Castor blocked it .

I wonder if the practice swinging he did before I came here was just a warm-up .

But even my father couldn't take this attack from the impossible posture he was on .

As I'm confronting him with the power produced by the Physical Reinforcement riding on my full body weight, I can tell that much from the sword .

I could finally compete with him in power even with all the differences .

Both swords have stopped moving . Neither moving forward nor backward .

That probably only lasted around 0 . 2 seconds . However, that felt like a long time for me . It must be the same for my father Castor too .

Afterward, my father began to move . His power trasmitted on my sword is increasing as he's twisting his body .

If this keeps up, my sword will probably get pushed away in half a second, resulting in my lost .

With the difference in our physiques, I would have no chance of winning if he retakes his posture, rather you can say that I've fought well .

However, I have no intention of just accepting this fight heading toward such an ending .

My style is to aim for victory by using all of my power even in a mock battle . I'd rather make a bet than quietly accepting my lost .

I construct the next magic in the little time I have .

【Magic Strike】 . A magic that loads the sword with magic power to increase its strength .

It's far more powerful than the Physical Reinforcement magic, but of course, its degree of difficulty also jumps up several magnitudes .

I used 【Ground Shrinkage】 to ensure my victory, but even Fourth Crest has its limit . It all depends on luck now .

And I--won the bet .

The invoked 【Magic Strike】 granted power to my sword, overcoming my father's sword .

And then right after my sword hit my father, the 【Magic Strike】 lost its effect, and I fell down as I lost my balance .

My older brother Reich and my father Castor mutter in amazement .

"He won against father . . . . ?"

"I had a feeling he might be talented in sword, to think he was a monster . . . . "

Looks like they got surprised .

I feel that my father was going at it lightly .

He probably never thought that he would lose when I hadn't even done any training .

However, this match had a big problem regarding its rule .

"I only took father by surprises, and even the attack just now merely hit you right?"

The rule of the mock battle earlier was [Win if I make a hit] . Therefore, my victory is only in form .

However, if this was a real combat, my attack would only slightly injure father . Even that might not be possible if he wore an armor .

Moreover, my father was holding back at the first strike which greatly influenced the result of this battle . I only made use of that .

I pointed that out in that sense .

"No well . That's true and all, but what was that attack just now? On top of making me lose sight of you, you clearly showed an unbelievable power and speed didn't you?"

"Un? I was just using Physical Reinforcement, 【Ground Shrinkage】 and 【Magic Strike】 normally . . . . "

""That's not normal!""

Why did I get retorted . They got greatly in sync .

Ah . 【Magic Strike】 might have been too early indeed .

"I'm sorry . It wasn't normal . I just got the 【Magic Strike】 right by chance . "

"That's not the problem here though . . . . "

This time he puts on an astonished look . Just what did I do anyway .

"First, are those Physical Reinforcement, 【Ground Shrinkage】 and 【Magic Strike】 magic?"

"Un . "

"How were Mathi able to use them?"

" . . . . I practiced?"

"No, that reasoning is weird . "

Why!?

How can anyone use magic without practicing .

Or perhaps you need permissions to use magic in this world?

"Anyone can do this much so long they practice . . . "

"Okay! I understand that you have a strange idea!"

"What on earth my nine years of sword training for . . . . "

My father replied with an astounded look at my reply .

My brother Reich muttered something while holding his heads, but I couldn't make out what he said .

"I'll teach you this thing called common sense . "

"Common sense?"

I wonder if it's a common sense in this country to regulate magic .

Come to think of it, Physical Reinforcement was used everywhere in my past life, but I haven't seen it being used even once after reincarnating .

"Yeah . Common sense about swordsmans.h.i.+p that is . . . . I'm not gonna be the one teaching you though . "

"Un?"

My father looked at the entrance of our house while saying that .

Looks like Biffgel just came out of the house .

"Oy Biffgel! You're late!"

"Nothing wrong with getting late a bit! I have my circ.u.mstances!"

Un . This guy's no good like always .

I don't think there's anything this guy can teach me .

"Shut up! You'd have been punished if you were in military! Originally I was gonna impose a harsh training on you today . . . . But today's your lucky day . "

Father exchanged looks at me while saying that .

His face looked like he's plotting something bad .

"2000 push up or a mock battle with Mathi . Pick one . "

"A mock battle with Mathias!"

Biffgel replied father with smiles on his whole face .

Looks like he's very happy to have a mock battle with me .
