"Boy, are you here?"

When Murphy walked into the alley, the first person she saw was not Old Jed.

But it was the girl sitting next to him with a high silver ponytail.

The moment he saw her, Murphy knew that new trouble was coming.

The person named Filia Reinhardt was sitting next to Old Jed with an obedient look.

As the daughter of a swordsman family, Filia is undoubtedly an excellent swordsman. Her swordsmanship is a combination of skill and strength.

And she was a member of the brave team in her previous life.

He is also one of the owners who cast cold eyes on Murphy.

There was no doubt that it was a look of disgust.

That was Filia's disgust for Murphy's weak strength.

Don't look at her sitting there obediently now.

But Murphy actually knew very well that it was just her disguise, because the real her would definitely not be the good girl she is now.

Although the moment he saw Filia, he began to unconsciously want to escape.

However, after what happened with Candice, Murphy has become more cautious.

Because all this is nothing more than a conspiracy of certain people.

Therefore, Murphy could almost be considered relieved about the "cold" looks they cast at her.

After all, since his memory of Candice could be affected, would his memory of Filia also be affected?

He didn't know...but now he and Filia had just met for the first time.

Therefore, there is no deep hatred between them now, so there is no need to take the initiative to make enemies.

Just like with Candice, just let it be.

At this moment, Murphy still feels a certain inferiority towards the group of geniuses in his previous life.

However, he no longer had any other ideas.

I don't have a good impression of them, but I don't hate them either. Although I envy them, I still feel a little inferior in front of them.

But to Murphy, they are just passers-by now.

Well... maybe there is some other feeling, like the feeling of meeting an "old friend" who has not been seen for a long time.

'I always feel a strange sense of nostalgia.'

This is what Murphy thought.

He shifted his gaze to Filia once again. He was originally planning to ignore Old Jed's question and continue to look at this "old friend" from his previous life.

However, Old Jed did not give him this chance.

He looked at Murphy who was silent and spoke directly to bring his thoughts back.

"Boy, you can't walk when you see a woman?"

Chapter 14 The Strong One in My Heart

"Nothing, I'm just a little surprised that there's someone sitting next to old Jed, and it's a woman."

"Hey, you slick-tongued brat, who did you learn that from?"

"Of course it's you, Master."

Old Jed pretended to be angry and scolded his apprentice, and Murphy responded with a smile.

Looking at his unruly appearance, Old Jed secretly cursed in his heart.

Then he waved to Murphy, indicating that he should come to him.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you. Come here."

"it is good."

Murphy nodded, then slowly walked in front of Old Jed.

And Filia, who was sitting next to Old Jed, kept staring at Murphy who was walking towards them.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Old Jed standing up beside her, so she quickly stood up as well.

"do you know her?"

Old Jed pointed at Filia who was standing next to him.

After hearing his question, Murphy legitimately turned his gaze to her face.

It seemed that he was trying to identify the other person's appearance, but in fact, he was deliberately looking at her.

Five seconds later, Murphy, who had received the other party's message, looked away and shook his head at Old Jed.

"do not know."

"Right."

Old Jed nodded after hearing Murphy's answer.

Then, the corners of his mouth stretched out in a cunning smile.

The moment Murphy saw Old Jed's smile, he realized that something was wrong.

"Her name is Filia Reinhardt."

"I came here this time to spar with you."

"..."

Murphy felt as if she had heard something strange just now.

He knew every word, but he couldn't understand it.

Discuss? What is it? Why do we need to discuss?

Murphy couldn't understand, he didn't understand at all.

At this moment, I should not have met Filia.

So, why would the other party want to compete with me?

"What do you mean?"

"Of course I mean it literally. This little girl wants to fight with you."

"..."

......Sure enough, I still don’t understand.

Murphy's gaze kept switching between Old Jed and Filia.

After a while, he fixed his gaze on Old Jed's face, and then asked unconsciously.

"why?"

"Hahahaha, maybe he has some thoughts about you?"

"Do not make jokes."

Looking at old Jed who was laughing and talking nonsense, Murphy couldn't help but sigh.

He felt that it was a mistake for him to ask Old Jed such a question just now.

Then he looked at Filia again.

"Yes... Miss Filia? May I ask why you are seeking a sparring match with me? I am just an ordinary adventurer, nothing to worry about."

"I want to test your strength, is it real or fake."

"..."

Here they come again, these words evaluating his own strength, and the tone is so strong that it is even merciless.

Murphy fell silent. At this moment, after hearing Filia's words, he felt as if he had returned to his previous life.

He remembered the Filia Reinhardt of the past.

A dancer on the battlefield, a silver-haired swordswoman, a swordsman who surpasses his predecessors.

People have many names for her, and many people praise her highly.

And she really deserves those titles and the praise from people around her.

However, perhaps due to the influence of his memory being altered, Murphy's evaluation of her was completely different.

First of all, it is this strong and ruthless tone.

There was no doubt that Filia Reinhardt was a powerful swordsman.

But before that, she was first and foremost a noble, and the most powerful kind of noble.

Therefore, the things she has received since she was a child have given her a sense of pride in her bones.

Even though she might not have noticed it, she always had an unconscious, condescending feeling when talking to a commoner like herself.

Secondly, it is the theory of strength in her heart.

When Murphy woke up in the maze city before, she heard Candice confess what kind of person the strong man in her heart was.

Although both of them were a little shy at the time, Murphy still remembered it.

He can lend a helping hand to the weak and draw his sword against the dragon.

This must be the strong person inside Candice.

However, the strong person in Filia Reinhardt's mind is completely different from Candice's.

She believes that strength is the only thing that makes one strong.

Whether it is the heart that extends a helping hand to the weak, or drawing the sword without servility in front of the strong.

As long as you are not strong enough, you will not be recognized as a strong person in her heart.

Therefore, the so-called strength in her mind is not for the purpose of protecting the weak.

But power.

She once said: Strength is the means to break the stronger, it is the basis for embracing freedom, and it is the foundation for being unrestrained.

This kind of strength can be military force, financial power, or even intelligence.

Powerful people are those who have worked hard, while powerless and weak people are those who have not worked hard.

Filia Reinhardt believed this statement from the bottom of her heart and was convinced that it was correct.

That's why she once said to herself with a look of disgust.

"Why is someone like you on this team? And why are you so weak?"

"You have to work harder. Laziness is a leisurely life that ordinary people like you can't have."

Actually, she was not wrong.

After all, at that time, after realizing the gap between me and those geniuses, I really became a weak person who allowed myself to degenerate.

So apart from the aristocratic arrogance ingrained in her bones, Murphy had a pretty good impression of her.

All I can say is that he was a little harsh in his words.

Of course, all of this is most likely the result of memory being affected.

Maybe that's not what Filia thought. Maybe she was just misunderstood by Murphy, who had wrong memories.

Because she once said another sentence to Murphy.
