The Hero King, Reincarnate to Master the Art of War ~And Thus, I Became The Strongest Knight Disciple (♀) in The World~

I’m awed he’s improved this much.
This must be the result of that glimmer of talent I once saw in that little boy being honed and polished earnestly.

While his innate sincereness and strong sense of responsibility are also a factor, it is also a result of the education from Marquis Wilford and Aunt Irina.
Every single factor in his life converged, giving birth to this Holy Knight Raphael who boasts of his dreadful sword arts.

Truly a sentimental thing——Inglis’ body shivered without her intent.
Of course, it was a shiver of excitement.
By all means, she would love to fight him.
She would love to clash her sword with his.

「That’s big brother for you! No one else can move so fast that it’s invisible to the eyes but you and Inglis!」 「Brother Rafa, your downward slash at the fifth and forward thrust at the seventeenth were especially brilliant.
Your movements were beautiful.」 「You could see all of them, Inglis!?」 「Yeah.
He brandished his sword 21 times, why?」 「That much!? Hey, Rafinha.
How much did you see…?」 「Just the first couple ones——」 「Right? Thank goodness I’m not the odds one out——」

And so, Rafinha and Leone whispered to one another.

「Hahaha.
I see, Glis saw through everything.
Maybe you didn’t need my help after all.
Still, my body reacted before my mind, you see… I’m sorry about that.」 「Don’t be, you’ve shown me something delicious after all.
By all means, I wish us to clash our swords.
With our everything.」 「N-, no, that’s——we have to avoid getting injured too, so… Well, if it’s just some practices, then anytime.」

Said Raphael with a vague smile plastered on his lips.

How do I make him fight me seriously——I have to think about this.5

「Raphael.
Leave this place to them and go to His Highness Wayne and Special Envoy Theodore.
We can’t afford to lose them.」

Principal Miliera appealed to Raphael.
While he had butchered the Magic Stone Beast that appeared in front of their group, there were still several of its kind left in the banquet hall.
There might be more to come.
He couldn’t leave this place unattended, but ensuring the safety of the prince and the envoy was his top priority.
It was best to follow Principal Miliera’s advice and split the force here.

「… Understood.
I leave this place to you! Rani, Glis, Leone.
Take care of the rest!」 「Yes, big brother!」 「Understood.」 「Leave it to us!」

After affirming the three’s replies, Raphael turned on his heel and dashed out of the hall.
As though encircling the lingering Inglis and her group, the Magic Stone Beasts drew closer.

「We’ve finally worn dresses, and yet we do the same old thing again!」

Complained Rafinha, holding her Flowing Radiance Artifact in her hand.
