The Hogbeck Territory (7) – The Twin and Thor-sama
The loud cheer suddenly quieted down and the air became tense.
Yuimei both used the tipless training spear. For me, it looked like a pole. The one that Thor-sama used was a bit different though. Thor-sama’s spear was about an arm’s length longer.
Thor-sama’s spear also has a ‘clasp’ on both ends where the speartip would normally be. Thor-sama’s training spear seemed to be made based on a double-headed spear.
The first to make a move were Yuimei.
I thought they would take advantage of their numerical superiority and attack Thor-sama from two sides but no, they just charged straight ahead together.
Looking at them both, Thor-sama seemed relaxed.
First, Meizest launched a sharp thrust, but Thor-sama ducked to dodge with a very minimal movement. In response, Yuizest cleaved her spear horizontally.
Thor-sama blocked Yuizest’s spear. Taking advantage of that, Meizest thrust her spear from the opposite direction of Yuizest.
Being attacked from two sides, Thor-sama made a split-second judgment and pulled back his spear, then he turned his body, escaping the trajectory of the two spears and at the same time, he swung his spear above from below.
When Yuizest’s spear passed just above Thor-sama’s chest, Thor-sama’s raised spear clashed with the twin’s two spears.
Clang
The twin retreated slightly due to an unexpected clash. Thor-sama didn’t let that opportunity slip by. He turned and swung his spear down toward Meizest.
Yuizest pulled Meizest back, enabling her to dodge Thor-sama’s spear barely.
The twins pulled each other to distance themselves from Thor-sama.
It was only the start, yet they moved so fast that I was sure they barely had time to breathe. Their fight was more ‘abnormal’ rather than ‘amazing’.
“Interesting,” Thor-sama commented with a grin. Against the twin, he seemed to be still relaxed.
“Enough warm up.”
“Yeah, enough.”
The twin also turned their shoulders with a daring laugh.
The audience, who were watching with bated breath, cheered again.
As if encouraged by the cheer, Yuimei’s side started moving. Like before, they launched an attack together and this time Thor-sama also prepared himself. Seeing this, Yuimei attacked Thor-sama in a straight line.
In response, Thor-sama unleashed a powerful thrust with tremendous speed, from a distance that would normally be impossible to reach using a normal spear. It was a powerful attack that made full use of his spear’s longer reach.
Incredibly, Thor-sama’s thrust was blocked by Yuizest using her spear’s hilt. Yet, Yuizest was unable to completely stop the momentum and was sent flying backward. Meizest used Yuizest’s shoulder as a stepping stone and leaped into the air to attack Thor-sama.
As his arm and spear were completely outstretched, even Thor-sama couldn’t avoid Yuizest’s attack…or so I thought. But Thor-sama used the momentum of his spear to turn his body forward, dodging Yuizest’s attack.
Thor-sama dodged Yuizest’s attack with a hair breath, just like how he dodged Meizest’s attack before, and with the momentum from his turn, Thor-sama unleashed a palm strike to the side of Meizest who was about to land on the ground. Meizest, who was hit, rolled to the ground and sprawled around with a low cry.
“That’s enough! The victor is Thor-sama!”
Frein’s declaration caused the surroundings to erupt in cheers.
“Wha-What happened!!??”
The surprised voice came from probably the only person who was sleeping for the entire battle, Lapilia-sama. The cheers seemed to have woken her up.

“You were sleeping before so you’re clearly tired. You better return to your room and rest,” I advised.
“I wasn’t sleeping!” Lapilia-sama claimed.
Even though she was sleeping on my shoulder just a moment ago, she didn’t want to admit it. Ah, well, let’s just play along.
“One more time!”
“Next time we’ll win.”
The battle just ended but they immediately want a rematch, huh.
Thor-sama pointed at Meizest, “I’m fine with fighting one more round, but you, you better rest a bit. I used a bit too much power on that palm strike.”
“Mei, are you okay?”
“It hurts like hell.”
“Once you rested a bit, how about fighting against my knight instead? Oi, you lots! This is an opportunity to fight with the Twin Flame of the 4th Division! Anyone interested?”
In response to Thor-sama’s words, several people from the audience leaped out to the training ground.
“No problem! Come all at once!”
“Yui, we can’t take them all at once!”
In any case, it seemed like the mock battle would continue for a while, so we left the training ground to see how Drew was doing.
Well, except for Frein. He ended up being stuck acting as referee. That meant only me, Lapilia-sama, and Wickharlt who went to the workshop.
Because everyone was gathered around the training ground, the rest of the fortress was really quiet.
“That’s the workshop.”
With Lapilia-sama leading the way, we arrived at the workshop. I peeked into the dim workshop and saw a figure swaying slightly inside.
“Drew?”
After looking more closely, I found that the figure was Drew who was leaning over to nibble at a piece of bread. Her hair was a mess and it was clear she just woke up.
“Nom Roa…Yom nam hom rom mam”
“Talk after eating. I have no idea what you’re trying to say.”
She turned her palm up, showing an item toward me.
A small, unfamiliar thing was rolling on top of her palm.
