A Girl Who Was Told "You Have No Talent" Turned Out To Be A Talented Monster - Chapter 100.2
Instead of being ruled by fear, she was still smiling. Even when she was facing the Kingdom’s core forces, and they were filled with the will to kill her, she was turning the pressure into a kind of pleasure.
One Knight clenched his weapon in earnest. One Knight gritted his teeth. Each one of them was filled with rivalry against Litty.
They, too, had been hit by Litty’s intimidation in return.
One of the company commanders, who led the unit that killed a “Monster-class” high-ranking species, stepped forward, and Litty also reacted.
“Stop!”
If Ilysis had stopped them too late, Litty and the man would have collided and a fierce fight would have broken out.
“I’m sorry. I almost killed her.”
“Nah, she wouldn’t be safe, but you wouldn’t have escaped unscathed. You did well.”
“Ha…”
The middle-aged man bowed deeply to the young Ilysis. After looking over everyone, Ilysis turned her gaze to Litty and smiled warmly.
“Just kidding. Welcome to the Silver Fenrir Corps.”
“Yes?”
She didn’t feel any killing intent from Ilysis or Knights and the others anymore. As expected, Litty realized that she had been tricked.
The man who had been the company commander earlier exhaled heavily and appeared to have done his job.
“A Knight is a person who defends his people and his lord, even at the cost of their lives. In some cases, they will fight monsters that are out of the ordinary. A Knight is not a man who runs away in fear. I’m sorry for testing you.”
“I am alright with it… but it seems like everyone was really serious about it.”
“You can tell?”
Although they had not been instructed beforehand, the Knights could tell that Ilysis was not serious. Despite that, they could only attack Litty with all seriousness.
Ilysis was the will of the Silver Fenrir Corps, and they would obey her orders unquestioned. Even if they knew that it was meant as a test, they couldn’t afford to not take it seriously.
“As long as you have something to protect behind you, you have to overcome despair. That is the true path of a Knight.”
“I see!”
“Myan!”
“However, we cannot protect anything with only spirit. The next step is training. That’s what you’re here for, right?”
“Yes!”
“Myaaaan!”
Hearing Ilysis’ highly evaluating an adventurer, everyone’s eyes were on Litty. And since she was not intimidated by the Knight’s group, their expectations for her increased.
However, there were various views as to why the adventurers Ilysis recognized were mostly of the same gender.
“We’re pairing up for a two-on-two mock battle, Litty, I know it’s your first time, but I want you to try fighting freely first.”
“Who am I paired with?”
“Well, let’s see… Demetre!”
“…Yes!”
The man who walked out with large steps was a huge man who did not seem to talk much. At first glance, his steady gaze could be mistaken for a sour mood.
Many people tend to stay away from him because they were overwhelmed by his presence. Demetre showed his motivation by drawing a large sword that matched his stature.
“Then, you two will be against… Arwin and Leloute!”
“Yes, ma’am!”
“Yes…”
“Arwin and Leloute are the most talented of the youngsters. They are the next potential battalion commander and should be able to compete with you two.”
Litty compared her partner Demetre with her opponents. In terms of competence, Litty could read that Demetre was inferior to the other two.
Excited to give it a go, Litty also pulled out a sword from Myan. The knights watched in silence as Litty took out her sword from the creature.
The other Knights also formed pairs, and finally the mock battle was held.
