“I’m sensitive to magic, you know.” (Cyrus)
“Is that part of Ronne’s power, as well?” (Yuna)
“Yes, it is. Isn’t it wonderful? The joy of gaining power that could not be obtained. The joy of being able to get back at someone who has looked down on you.” (Cyrus)
I, too, enjoyed things in the game that I couldn’t do in real life. I enjoyed getting back at someone who made fun of me because I was a woman.
But that was only because I worked hard and honed my skills in the game.
Now I have the bear’s help, but I worked harder than anyone else to get where I am now.
“Then I’ll fight and beat you at what you’re good at. I’ll show you that there is a higher level that you will never reach.” (Yuna)
It was a game of whose cheat was stronger, and a battle to see who had better control of those cheats.
I closed the distance at once. The man responded. His physical ability also seemed to have been increased. His reaction was fast. But I was equipped with cheat equipment given to me by God, and I felt bad for Ronne, but the power of a fairy was nowhere near as strong. My bear mithril daggers would never lose to a mithril sword.
The mithril sword and the Swaying Bear knife collided.
I was able to parry the man’s downward sword slash.
With the power of the bear equipment and the experience of fighting in the game so far, I could do this without any difficulty.
The man’s sword was parried, and he balance was thrown off momentarily, but he quickly regained his footing.
But he was too slow.
The wind magic coming from my knife made up for my knife’s short reach.
“A knife user overpowered me…” (Cyrus)
“Bigger weapons don’t always give you an advantage. The bigger the weapon, the slower your next move will be. If the weapon is heavy, all you can do is swing it around. On the other hand, a knife is small and can move faster than a sword. It can also be wielded much more easily.” (Yuna)
The man barely kept up with the speed of my knife.
And he could not attack me carelessly, not knowing when my wind magic would be activated.
But this was not my limit.
“I’ll increase my speed.” (Yuna)
True to my word, I increased my speed.
“How can you move like this even in such a difficult-to-move-looking outfit?” (Cyrus)
“You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.” (Yuna)
There were fighters who were physically large and fat, but moved quickly and were strong.
That did not mean that I was fat.
I moved from side to side, toying with the man.
Gradually, he couldn’t keep up with my speed.
I moved around with my knife, and as I approached him, I switched the knife to my other hand and sent a fist towards the man’s stomach.
“Ugh.” (Cyrus)
The man’s face contorted.
“Is that all you’ve got, and yet you were so arrogant? If I was using my knife right now, you’d be dead.” (Yuna)
Well, I didn’t intend to kill him.
It wasn’t cool to bully the weak.
“Did you think that if I couldn’t use my powerful magic, I wouldn’t be a big deal?” (Yuna)
“Ugh, this is a lie! This is an illusion! You do not scare me!” (Cyrus)
The man shouted.
Well, no matter how much he yelled, it didn’t make up for the difference in our abilities.
“I have fought more battles than you could ever imagine.” (Yuna)
Even in the game, I treat every fight as a serious battle. I’ve fought many times against other people. In several instances, I have been fighting all day long. It was because it was in-game, so I could fight as long as time allowed me to. I could sleep in my bed to regain my strength after a long day, and in-game, I have healing items. I could fight as many times as I wanted without worrying if it was a practice or a death match.
I have fought opponents who were proficient with wielding diverse weapons types.
In the game, the number of times I have fought for my life was different. I have died many times in the game, but that also gave me lessons.
But in this reality, no one would be able to fight to the death so many times.
If you die, there would be no coming back. If you sustained an injury, you could not easily heal it even with healing items.
The most significant difference between us was that I was a shut-in and fought every day, and this man would only fight safely on several occasions.
“What the hell. What are you! Are you kidding me, looking down on me while wearing that weird outfit!” (Cyrus)
The man’s expression, who had been making fun of me all this time, changed drastically.
He couldn’t believe that a tormentor like him had turned into a tormented one.
He must have thought he had become a strong man by gaining the power of the fairies.
“You know the term ‘frog in a well’? Even if you are pompous in this town, it will only be in this town. The world is a big place. Just because you have fairy power doesn’t mean you automatically become the strongest. There are many people in this world who are more powerful than you, even with the power of fairies.” (Yuna)
