The Hero King, Reincarnate to Master the Art of War ~And Thus, I Became The Strongest Knight Disciple (♀) in The World~

down in spite of her better judgment.
Eris couldn’t feel anything from her until now.
She looked just like any ordinary person, not a bit of unique power was felt from her.
That was why Eris found it weird that Inglis could fight against her so well.
She couldn’t be more mistaken.
Inglis hid an abundant amount of mana within her person, so much that it could drown her in it was Eris’ genuine thought.

「Do you understand now? Please, don’t pull your punches.」

What Inglis did was a visualization of her power.
She changed ether into mana so that her opponent who couldn’t sense ether could see how strong she was.
In other words, lowering herself to their level.
Ether was the root of all creation.
The difference between one matter to another was just how much ether was in them.
If so, it was entirely possible to arrange ether in a way until it reformed into mana.

Fundamentally speaking, this maneuver would only make Inglis lose more of her power, but in this particular case, it would serve her well.
With this, Eris should’ve realized that she could go all out.
Up until now, Eris was under the preconception that Inglis had no power in her, so she held herself back.
Inglis wanted to get rid of that preconception.

This training also served as a practice to micromanage ether, and it was just a byproduct of what was originally an attempt to produce a rune of her own to please her parents.

As rune was a mechanism to control the flow of mana, she couldn’t start making a rune without having mana inside her.

「S- so that’s how it is.
Maybe you don’t need my help at all, after all.」

Said Eris as she put her twin swords back to their scabbard.

「I won’t stop you now.
Go if you want.」 「EEEEeeehhhh!? Please wait a minute! That’s not fair! You’re mean!」 「Wh-, why am I the…? I was trying to make you escape since I thought you were a frail girl, even if I had to use force to do so.
But looking at that much mana you have, doesn’t that mean you can protect yourself? If so, I have no reason to stop you here.」 「Uwaaah! So that’s how it is! What a blunder….」

Inglis regretted it bitterly.

Even though they finally had a match, she just wanted to show her strength to her opponent in an easy-to-understand manner, but now she was judged to be unnecessary to be stopped.
What a miscalculation.
How frustrating.
Even though it was finally getting fun……!

「O-, oh, how poor this lil damsel in distress that is me! Oh please, stop me! By all means!」 「No, I’ve seen enough from you.
Come on, don’t make Mr.
Highlander wait.」

That was all Eris had to say.
She turned on her heel and began to head towards the gate.
It looked like she was going home now.

「Uuu….
I shouldn’t have done that!」

A blunder of a lifetime…! Inglis could only watch Eris’ back as she was leaving while gnawing on her own nail.

But, suddenly, Inglis saw Eris being struck by something in her view.
