My Second Chance In Life In Another World

CHAPTER 66: BONDS OF FIRE AND STEEL

After Alad commanded Werk and Cirris, they started to attack.

Is it me, or are they looking at me? Wait, that's their plan!

"If you won't fight, then we'll just attack Will," Werk said, approaching me.

They plan to use me so Tyiyn and Raiden would fight them.

"You're scum," Raiden said, stopping Werk from advancing.

"Now, do you have the energy to fight?" Werk asked with a teasing smile.

"Tsk!" Raiden said.

On the other hand, right after Raiden stopped Werk from advancing towards me, Cirris started running and is about to reach me when Tyiyn blocked his path.

"Don't be in haste. I'll take your challenge. Won't you like to fight me?" Tyiyn said.

"Why are you doing this, Cirris? Aren't we friends?" Raiden asked.

"It's not like I want to do it. I don't have a choice. If I do this, Alad would finally stop bullying me, so sorry..." Cirris said, making Tyiyn feel bad for him. But suddenly, Cirris's sword got in front of Tyiyn.

If not for Tyiyn's high athletic ability and fast reaction time, he'd already be down. He jumped backward right after seeing the sword, making him avoid it.

"Is that what you want me to say? HAHAHAHAHA! It really feels good to fool other people... I can't get enough of it," Cirris said, smiling like a psychopath.

"You're done for," Tyiyn said, looking at Cirris.

"Yeah, that's right. That's the reaction of those who can't understand me, and that's the reaction I want the most! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Cirris said, then started to attack Tyiyn.

Tyiyn dodged every attack from Cirris in a hair's breadth, so what he said in the practice match, that it's not a coincidence when he dodges Beric's attack, was true.

Watching my friends fighting for my sake makes me want to cheer for them, makes me want to join them, but my body won't respond. Maybe I overexerted myself.

After thinking about that, my vision suddenly got blurry, and my eyes felt heavy.

Am I falling asleep? I don't want to, but I can't stop my body, until I finally gave in.

**RAIDEN'S POV**

"Will!" Shouted by Chris, who's on Will's side.

"What happened?" Asked by Tork, who's behind Chris.

"He suddenly lost consciousness," Chris said with a worried look.

"Let him be; it's better for him to sleep so he can rest," Tork said, convincing Chris.

As I was listening to them, I lost my focus on the guy called Werk who was attacking me nonstop since earlier.

"Where do you think you're paying your attention?" Werk asked, then started to prepare to cast a skill.

"Vertical slash!" Werk shouted then attacked me with a vertical slash.

I tried to block it, but his force was so strong that my sword almost broke in half.

"You're not attacking since earlier. Are you just going to keep on defense?" Werk asked.

That's right, my offensive power was next to none, and that's because my style was focused on defense and counterattack.

I kept blocking and blocking, dodging and dodging until I find an opening that I could seize.

But this type of guy was the one I hated the most because he used force to breakthrough and didn't rely on tactics and styles. Even if I can find an opening, I can't do anything since blocking his attack for me was impossible. I need to find another way to win.

"You're not focusing on me again!" Werk shouted, preparing to cast another skill.

I jumped backward without thinking, maybe because I got scared of his vertical slash earlier that almost broke my sword.

"Horizontal slash!" He shouted then attacked me with a horizontal slash.

Thanks to me distancing myself earlier, all I need to do was jump backward again to avoid his attack.

I need to find a way to beat him right now, or I won't last. I look at my surroundings and finally found something I can use.

"You're really not attacking; that's boring," Werk said.

"Let's finish this already," he said before he started to attack me again, now with much stronger force than before.

I jumped backward again to avoid it, but he jumped forward, closing in on me, and that's what I'm aiming for.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" I shouted then suddenly threw my sword in his direction, making everyone surprised.

He slashed my flying sword, and it broke.

He was about to ask about what am I thinking doing something like that, but he saw me sitting on the ground, which made him more confused.

"I won," I said before a fireball hit his face.

Everyone made a dumbfounded face after seeing what happened. Werk fell to the ground, and that gives me the chance to attack.

I immediately take my sword and hit his head with the hilt of my sword as hard as I can, and that was the cause for him to lose consciousness.

That strategy was impossible without Tork, who casted the fireball.

Yeah, that's right. Tork was the one who casted it. While I was searching for a way to win, I saw Tork prepared to cast a spell any minute, and that gave me the idea.

When our eyes met, I nodded at him and trusted him to get what I need him to do.

That's why when I threw my sword, I shouted for them to not notice Tork's shout when casting the fireball.

I'm glad Tork got what I want to tell him and do as I planned because if ever it didn't go according to plan, I would lost because I lost my sword.

I trust him to cast a fireball, and he trusts me to conceal and dodge it so it will hit Werk. The trust we have with each other is the reason we won.

After that, the crowd suddenly got noisy and was protesting to what I did.

"Is that magic? This is a swordsmanship fighting ground; are you an idiot?" Shouted by a white-haired guy.

"That's right! What do you think you're doing? You cheater!" added by another guy.

"Play fair, can you? It's not fun if you cheat!" Shouted by another.

After that, the crowd started shouting "cheater, cheater, cheater."

I stand up and faced them all. They stopped shouting to hear what I have to say.

It was obvious from their faces that they want an apology for what we did, but I don't care about that.

"Huh? Who cares about your rules? I don't care whatever rules you have. Do you really think I would follow it?" I said.

"Are you all idiots? You lot dragged us here and even almost killed my friend, and you want us to follow your rules for fun's sake?" I added.

"Then here's what I have to say, so listen carefully: FUCK YOU ALL!" I said, and that makes the crowd explode with anger.
