Chapter 19: The request from the guild master final part
Gotts came rushing to me in a verge to cry state, despite the difference in our strength.
Naturally, overthrowing him is too easy.
But, if I make an error in the power adjustment he can easily die.
Gotts is a person who lets his hatred lead him and the target of his hatred is now me.
If there was a god he would’ve sent Gotts to hell for being a fool.
That’s why, even if he gets killed by me he has no right for complaining.
That is why… I who hold overwhelming power have the right to his life as if I’m a god thinking whether I should take the life of the trashy man before me.
If it was Lucia she would be kind. But I’m different, I am half-hearted. I was laughing at myself thinking that.
I was calmly thinking that it was time to evade while I was looking at his sword which has stopped.
From his flank a person’s hand was heading towards the blade.
Once our eyes met that person flashed a smile towards me. I responded with a smile. That person was the young girl Lucia.
*Impact*!
Lucia who stopped the blade was holding easily with her two fingers.
“You are not an opponent for Master to use his hands on you. This may be presumptuous of me but I think I would be a better opponent.”
“Hmm, that’s right. Even if I were to hold there is still a possibility that he could die.”
“I understand. Master’s power is too much.”
“Okay, I leave you to it. To catch up to me, combat experience would be good.”
“Y-Yes! Please watch me!”
Lucia replied with glee in her voice and at the same time removed her fingers from the blade.
And in an instant she vigorously went behind Gotts back.
Actually Gotts was trying to swing the sword with all his strength while she was holding it.
But he couldn’t unshackle the sword away from her even if she was 1/10k from my power.
Sigh, to think he was weak yet challenged me on…
I’m shocked, what he was doing was beyond reckless.
“What is a little girl like you saying that you will be my opponent who will become an S-rank!? Taste my secret technique! Dark Lightning Explosive Edge!”
Gotts who lost himself in anger has lost reason as a human.
His opponent who was the tender young girl he was unleashing his secret technique.
He had the full intent to kill his opponent.
It was a blade that stroke the opponent with lightning which was stored in the stored, Lucia took it in front of not trying to evade it.
In that moment, Doooooooooooooooon! Such sound was being reverberated in the atmosphere and smoke has started to rise up and engulf the display from vision.
“Gya… Hahaha! Did you see my power!? Have you realized what happens when you make fun of Gotts the great me”
But, Gotts was unable to finish saying what he wanted.
“Ehm… What was that now? Was that perhaps your trump card?”
He had a perplexed expression when he saw Lucia come from the smokes without a single wound on her.
“Hii!? Impossible! It’s my secret technique, you know! It’s the ultimate skill of an higher grade soldier!?”
“Was that really a secret technique? I am not looking down on it but Master can fight with his pinky which is several thousand times stronger.”
“Oi, Lucia, don’t compare him that much with me. Our power classes are different!”
On my words Lucia nodded.
“That’s true also. Comparing him to master was in self a mistake. In the first place I cannot see the bottom of Master’s power!”
“Well, if several decades pass you might be able to see it. From now on, I will give you lots of material for study.”
“Yes, Master! I’ll work really hard!”
She faced me with eyes filled of expectation when she said that. She is pretty glad that she might be able to see the bottom of my power.
Sigh, strength is not the sole good thing. In the first place, I wonder if Lucia understood the intent in what I was saying to her. I’ll talk to her about it when she grows up that power in excess will only bring loneliness.
While we were talking back, Gotts began raising his voice.
“Don’t fool around! I will not forgive both of you!”
Gotts yelling that swung his sword once again.
Sigh, but this his attack won’t hit.
“Lucia that’s enough. Try using the technique I taught you earlier.”
“Yes, Master! I will try to do it!”
Lucia obediently agreed to me and started doing the technique as I teached her.
“Taste the technique which Master taught me! Secret Fist Blade Destruction! Haaa!”
Lucia quickly thrusts her fist while yelling “Haa” sounds.
For everyone her movements were not “quick” at all.
They were not able to see her fist projectiles.
For me I could see her first slowly move, but for everyone else it was a divine attack that their eyes couldn’t capture.
After that moment several thousand fists were thrust, her opponent Gotts had an appearance with “nothing held in hands.”
Yeah, it’s the skill “Weapon destruction” that I show to Lucia before and she trained it.
It’s still incomplete and unrefined, but it’s at the level of “Weapon destruction” so she has the talent for it.
We’ll gradually improve it as we go.
“Hii!? Impossible! My sword which was made from mithril vanished without a trace!?”
Gotts who was complaining at this Doran started scolding him.
“That’s why I told you! Just like before Masatsugu-sama can even make the strongest orichalcum in this world easily to vanish! Your rank is too different from his, how many do I have to say your levels are too different for you to understand!?”
At those words Gotts raised a “Hiiii” sound and becoming scared of me.
At this bothersome situation, I sighed.
“Fuuhn, Doran can we end this farce already?”
While I talked Doran, aswell as the young girls and Gotts all of them shut up at the same time.
“Doran, I understood the contents of the request. If the crisis ever comes to this city, then I will come and help without any objections. But if I accept the request from the Guild Master who personally bowed his head down to me then I will stand out. I do not want it to become like that. I want the orphaned young girls to live peacefully and that’s enough. I have no interest in influence nor fame. That’s why for this time instead of accepting the request from the Guild Master who bowed his head how about accepting the request from being written on the board?”
On my words, Doran raised an “Oooo” sound as if he was deeply moved while the girls were looking at me with teary eyes.
Doran kneeled down and with his bowed down head he expressed his gratitude.
“Thank you very much, Masatsugu-sama. While I cannot see the true strength of Masatsugu-sama I have seen how big his kindness truly is. I apologize for the impoliteness my subordinate has caused and we will give you the quest for dragon subjugation again at the guild.”
“You didn’t need to exaggerate so much. But I will go to take the request.”
At my continuous lenient words, Doran started bowing his head down even further.
