Chris's Faith of Fire

The next moment, Noelle in front of him turned into two people.

"Hey! We became two people! What's going on!"

The two teenagers in front of me smiled at the same time. It was impossible to tell which one was the real one, or were they both real?

I froze in shock. I didn't expect that this skill called magic could actually do this.

"Idiot, this is just a trick... the one on the right is real."

"Oh, it hurts! Onee-sama."

You can tell who is speaking just by the sound of the voice.

Cold, condescending tone only when you treat me!

Although the head was only lightly tapped, it still hurt. Do these strong guys have no concept of controlling their strength?

Speaking of which, she saw through Noelle’s illusion right away.

"As expected of the 'Holy Sword Princess'. Yes, the one on the left is my mirror image."

After saying that, the young man waved his hand, and the man on the left disappeared.

"Nothing... Just pay a little attention to the flow of Mana and you can feel the difference between the real thing and the mirror image. You have to keep this in mind. And you should have noticed the flow of Mana just now."

"Well, it feels like a weak wind passing through my body."

"Yes, it may be Master Noel's spell that guided you. Follow that feeling and try to catch Mana, and follow the torrent of Mana to find the door."

It's such an abstract concept, but because of my feelings just now, I feel like I can do it.

"call……"

I took a deep breath and gently closed my eyes.

Thinking back to the feeling just now, feel the air current in the air that is different from the breeze.

There was that flow going through my body.

Well, I can feel it a little bit.

It seems that you can feel more Mana by following this flow.

Just when I realized this was Mana, the world began to change.

There are more and more flows like this, and I feel like I am beginning to sink into the ocean!

Radia said following the torrent to find the door.

So I followed the flow of Mana in this world.

The flow of mana became more and more turbulent, and I began to lose my footing.

But just when I was about to reach the source of the water, something seemed to be blocking the way in front of me.

"Dragon..."

No, it's something like a dragon...

The whole body is covered with bright red scales, with a high back and connected skin.

The huge lizard stood at the origin of the blue torrent, bringing out scarlet fire as it breathed.

I stared blankly at the huge creature until it suddenly disappeared.

"..."

When I opened my eyes, everything returned to the same state as before.The sound of the metal clashing of the knights' armor and swords reached my ears, as if nothing had happened.

Chapter 23 23. Memories from childhood——3

"Are you okay?"

When I was about to fall, the boy gently supported my back.

After the illusion just now, I was a little dizzy.

"It doesn't matter. I was a little shocked when I saw the so-called 'door'... Maybe my mental strength is still too weak."

"That's it, it's fine. Huh... Now that you see the door, you can follow the instructions in the book to practice magic. Illusion is very simple. Just think more about how to use Mana to change yourself. If It’s a bit difficult to apply it to other things. But that’s it for today…”

Noelle took a long breath as if he was really relieved, and did not forget to guide me in my next study.

That's okay, the first glimpse of the lizard was a little scary, and it might take some time to learn to use the power of the door.

But Noelle's overly caring attitude always made me feel itchy and unspeakably restless.I shook my head hastily, trying to get this feeling out of my mind.

"Oh, it looks like our relationship has become quite good."

"You, what are you talking about! Sister! Why have you been standing here since just now? You seemed unwilling to come over before."

This person suddenly intervened when we were training magic. At first, he only focused on his own training.

"Are you talking about this now? Your reaction is too slow... Well, at first I thought you had some enlightenment and would use the excuse of practicing magic to get along well with Master Noelle, but it turned out that your attention The power is really just useless magic, which is really disappointing.”

What are you talking about this person!Recently, he has been hoping to marry me to Noelle, but he doesn’t care about my affairs at all!This is not the kind of sister I want.People have also longed for the beautiful sisterly love between Cocoon and Mio!

She completely ignored my protesting eyes and turned her head to focus on Noelle.

"Master Noelle, it seems that you are very fond of Chris, which is really the best thing."

"Hey, hey! No... no, I didn't..."

The boy's cheeks suddenly turned red because of the ball.

But my sister had no intention of stopping talking.

"Don't worry too much. Chrissy will be your wife sooner or later. Chrissy is lucky that you are willing to like such a talentless woman. But no matter how good your relationship is, I don't want you to reach a point that you shouldn't touch before getting married. I think I couldn’t help but come over here to take a look at the situation.”

ah?Can I interpret this sentence as concern for me?But there is no smell of warmth at all!

Who would touch the untouchable? Even preaching is too poor. Don’t mention the things I fear the most!

"No way...and I think Chris's own meaning...is more important."

Even Noelle felt that her sister's words were a bit too much, but the way she was shy and spoke intermittently felt like she had no strength to fight back.

"Okay, let's talk about other things. I just saw Master Noel's magic, which is really a superb illusion."

"Where, Her Highness Latiya clearly saw it right away."

"Despite this, it is really of a very high level in terms of illusion. If it were on a chaotic battlefield, not many people would be able to tell the authenticity from the fake at once."

"This kind of thing..."

"I have long heard that Master Noel is a child prodigy. Whether it is swordsmanship or magic... he is extremely talented. Can you give me a try..."

"Huh? A competition?"

"That's right. Now that you've come to the training ground, don't you want to exercise your body? And although it's rude, I'm still quite interested in my future brother's skills."

"Um...but..."

"If the other party is a man who cannot protect my sister, I would be a little worried. This is probably the mentality that everyone has as a sister."

fraud!Here is a guy talking nonsense about family affection!

The sister who feels like she can sell me out at any time still dares to speak so brazenly!

Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't dare to say it out loud.

The look in my sister's eyes that seemed to command me not to speak always made me feel like I had encountered a natural enemy... Although my mother was very gentle, for some reason I always felt that the two of them sometimes had a very similar atmosphere.

While I was puffing up my cheeks and thinking about these things, the two of them seemed to have already walked to the training ground.

Even if Noelle didn't want to fight at all, he seemed helpless in the face of Ladia's invitation.

So what is the strength of these two people, apart from other factors, I am also very interested.

I have never seen a competition between swordsmen before.

I found a reasonably clean looking stone and sat down.

Looking around, not only me, but also the knights in training stopped one after another.

"Your Highness, do you want to fight with that kind of brat..."

"I heard that the eldest son of the Shahavier family is very good."

"No matter how outstanding he is, he is still a child. How can he compete with His Highness?"

The knights were chattering incessantly. Are these guys too rough and crazy?It sounded like a whisper, but even I could hear it.

However, at this time, Ladia raised her open palm towards them.

"Shut up and watch carefully."

It wasn't a loud voice, but no one dared to talk nonsense. Everyone stood straight in a row.

After confirming that no one said anything more, Latiya showed a gentle smile to the opponent in front of her.

"Sorry, they are all a bunch of rude guys. Please don't pay attention, Master Noel."

"No... in fact, I am quite uneasy about swordsmanship with Lady Ladia."

Noelle's words didn't sound flattering. If you look closely, his posture was indeed a little stiff, showing his nervousness before the battle.

And Latiya still looked very calm.

She and Noelle took a step forward and saluted each other with wooden swords in hand, and then each took a stance.

At the moment when everyone held their breath, the boy moved first.

He thrust away like lightning almost at the same time as Ladia exhaled.

"Oh?"

Latiya was a little surprised when she saw the boy's actions, but it was only for a moment.

The next moment, the knight's body seemed to teleport away from the young man's sword, and she took Noel's head with a horizontal slash.

The gesture of swinging down the sword is like swinging down one's own sword, drawing a long straight line in mid-air.Her movements were as sharp as if she were holding a real sword. No one could imagine what it would be like to be struck by such an aura.Even if it is actually just a training tool without edge.

The opponent's timing was beyond the boy's imagination, and it was already impossible to retract the sword. Noelle hurriedly bent down and barely managed to avoid Ladia's slashing attack.

He wanted to find an opportunity to stab again, pouring all his strength into his right hand to find a weakness, and pointed the tip of his sword at the girl's chest.

Just when Ladia was about to switch from offense to defense, Noelle's thrust was resolved, and she slightly twisted her arm to follow up with the second consecutive thrust.

"!"

Although he was surprised again, his opponent seemed to be well prepared to deal with this move. Ladia did not block or dodge, and just used a vertical slash to cope with the young man's sword skills like the wind.

Seeing Ladia's astonishing momentum, Noelle seemed to have given up on confronting Ladia.

He stepped hard on the ground, and his body retreated unnaturally quickly just before he was hit.

Was magic used?

The spot where I was standing just now was slashed by Knight Ji's wooden sword, and there were already traces of cracks.

The boy took a step back to stabilize his body, and the two of them once again returned to the distance before the duel.

It was really ugly to be forced to use all the magic by His Highness Ladia. The knights were whispering, how should he fight back. Anyway, he had known that he was no match for His Highness. Everyone looked at this competition with a look of indifference.

Only a few of the more senior-looking warriors said nothing... as if they already knew the outcome and relaxed their bodies.

Noelle took a breath and pressed the wooden sword in his hand to the ground.

"...I lost. Your Highness Latiya is truly worthy of her reputation."

"Haha, are you giving up now? Young Master~~"

Some knights immediately jeered loudly.

But the next moment they were stared at coldly by their companions who were quietly watching the battle. Their expressions were helpless as if they were saying "Why are there such idiots among us?"

Ladia didn't even turn her head that way and walked straight towards the boy.

"No, it's Master Noelle's strength that surprised me. I didn't expect someone with such quick reactions... The high compatibility between your magic and swordsmanship even reminds me of the legendary fantasy I heard when I was a child. God Zerxi... I have to lament here, in ten years there will be very few people on this continent who can fight with you."

"Haha... That's such an award. There is no suspense about your victory. Even if I continue to use magic, I may not be able to win."

After hearing this, Ladia stretched out her hand to the boy.

"It's inappropriate to say this, but it would be great if I could have another chance to compete with my beloved sword, Lucifer."
