I Try To Enjoy My Life But This Woman Keep Calling Me Villain-Chapter 82: Spar

I look at the sky and let out a tired sigh. Two days from now will be when we will march to the Gokuya Kingdom and fight in their territory.

I look down and see many camps outside the wall of Shadowfall. They are the camps for soldiers from the North and the Luzia Kingdom. The last one comes as a bit of a surprise. I thought that they would stay out of the war, but here they are, coming with us to the war.

The Lord Commander from the Luzia Kingdom is Freyja.

"Gwyn!"

Speaking of the devil.

"Freyja, good morning."

"Good morning, Gwyn! It is good to see you training early in the morning! If only the princess were willing to wake up this early, she would be powerful!"

"Speaking of Hilda, how is she?"

"She is doing great! She keeps training with her talent and her control over the golem you gave her."

"That’s good. I know that she will keep training."

"Hah! She is very stubborn and hard-working like that. If only she could wake up earlier, then she could train her body more." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"She already trained in martial arts, right? She is a great archer, after all."

"I know. Princess Hildegard is a great archer, but sadly, her sword technique still needs a lot of work. It is a tradition, you know? To have all the princesses and princes know the basics of the Luzia Sword Technique. She already knows the basics, but her father wants her to know at least a bit more of the technique. After the Monster Wave, he wants all of his children to be able to defend themselves from the monster. That day is the wake-up call for all of us in the Luzia Kingdom. We are so complacent in our peaceful living that we do not try to improve."

She looks at me and smiles.

"And I understand him. When I come here, I can see people fighting for their lives against monsters appearing near their homes. When the people from the north tell the others that your people are barbarians because they only know how to fight. I’m angry. I’m angry for their ignorance, the same ignorance that we had. Can I tell you something, Gwyn?"

"Hmmm? What is it?"

"The high-ranking noble in the Luzia Kingdom also think that you and your people waste all your time training how to fight and kill the monster instead of trying to make money and enrich yourself. However, after that cursed day, they get humbled because many of their family members died in that sickness and monster that attacked their territory."

I look at her for a couple of seconds and say.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Hmmmm... I want to thank you. Thank you for showing us kindness by helping us. Thank you for defending our people when the Monster Wave happened. Lastly, thank you for rescuing us from our ignorance of the world. I never said any gratitude to you when you were in our kingdom. Thank you, Heir Gwyndolin Alexander Cunningham. If there is anything we can do, please tell us."

I look at her and look to the sky.

"At the moment, there is nothing I want. Hmmm... Ah, there is one."

I look at her and say.

"I want a private hot spring for myself! I want your people to build me the most beautiful hot spring for myself. Don’t worry about the cost. I will cover it."

I don’t know why she starts laughing, but she continues laughing for ten seconds.

"Hot spring, huh? Very well! I will tell the king about your request! Just wait! After this war is over, we will build the most beautiful hot spring for you."

"Then I’m looking forward to it."

She grins at me and says.

"Anyway, do you want to have a spar? We have a couple of hours before breakfast is served."

I get up and nod.

"Sure. Should we do that here or in the barracks?"

"Let’s do this here. Let’s go to our camp. We make a training ground for our soldiers. We can use it."

"Sure. Lead the way."

"Come on then!"

Freyja jumps down the wall and creates a small crater. The people of this world are truly abnormal. The wall is ten meters tall, and she can land on the ground without too much trouble. I have a theory that it was because of the mana in the air that the people in this world absorb into their bodies that make their bodies stronger and more adaptable to strenuous training.

I shake my head, jump down the wall and follow Freyja to the Luzia Kingdom camp. When we get there, three soldiers greet us with warm expressions. I blink for a few seconds because I know who they are. They are the ones I heal when I stay in their kingdom.

"Lord Gwyndolin! We meet again!"

"My lord! How are you? It’s been a while since I saw you!"

"Bwahahaha! Do you remember me, my lord?! You help me get back my arm! Thank you for that!"

I smile at them and greet them one by one.

"It is nice to see you guys again. You are Erwin, Fabio, and Claus, right?"

"You remember us!"

The three of them look at me in shock. Since I came to this world, my memory has been stronger than before, and I can memorize the people I healed.

"Of course. How are you guys?"

"I’m doing great, my lord!"

"Great! After you heal me, I can join the army!"

"Bwahahaha! With my arm back, I can aim for that promotion!"

I smile at them.

"Good."

"Can I ask why you are here, my lord?"

I look at Erwin and say.

"I come here to have a spar with your Lord Commander, Freyja."

"Oh! Can we watch?"

"Of course."

The three of them look at Freyja, who nods her head, agreeing with my decision. After that, we walk to the training ground, where I can see many blunt weapons ready to use in the spar. Freyja walks to a spear and swings it around for a few seconds before nodding her head.

I take two swords and weigh the two of them. After a few seconds, I take the heavier sword. I swing it around and take a stance my father taught me in the past. I look at Erwin, Fabio, and Clause and say.

"Can you one of you be the referee?"

They look at each other, and a second later, Fabio walks forward.

"Are the two fighters ready?"

I nod my head while Freyja twirls her weapon before entering her fighting stance and nod. Seeing the both of us nodding, Fabio swings his hand down and says.

"Fight!"

I dash forward and swing down my weapon to open the spar. Freyja moves her body and dodges my attack, but she quickly raises her weapon because I use my leg to kick her. Her weapon manages to block my attack, but her body gets thrown away because of it.

I can hear her grunt and smirk at me.

"What a monstrous strength. Your body looks like a healer and mage, but your strength is on par with the strongest person I know."

"Thank you."

"But physical strength will not guarantee you victory!"

She dashes forward and thrusts her spear forward. I dodge and block all the attacks with my sword. However, I widened my eyes when she suddenly stabbed her spear to the ground and used it to throw herself at me.

I raise my sword forward and block her attack but widen my eyes when she uses the end of her spear to attack me. I use my left hand and block the attack. The sound of metal meeting another metal can be heard throughout the training ground.

Freyja lands on the ground and looks at me.

"What was that? Do you wear armor around your arm?"

Hmmm? Ah, I’ve been wearing long sleeve clothes since they came here, so they did not know that I had lost an arm. I take off my clothes and show her and the other my prosthetic arm.

"In the previous fight, I lost my left arm."

"What?! Can’t you regrow it back?!"

"Sadly, no. Whatever attack that man uses, make sure I cannot grow it back."

I can hear her growl and says.

"Who is that man? The one who does this to you."

"You did not need to worry about him, Freyja. He is dead. As for his name, he is Charles Vortigern."

"Charles the Great?"

"Yup."

I can see her give me a respectful nod as her anger disappears from her expression.

"I see. My respect for you gets higher and higher by the minute! You truly deserve the title our king gave you."

"I have a title?"

I know that I got a title from the previous fight, but I never thought that the king of the Luzia Kingdom would give me one.

"Yup! He gives you the title of Guardian of the Kingdom for your service."

"I see"

"Anyway! Should we continue?"

I nod and say.

"Yes!"
