Chapter 895: Powerful legs (2)
The way that he looked at her was almost as if he was scoping her out.
When he finished, he turned back to me to say, "Your majesty, are you sure about this?"
I didn't blame him for feeling this way since it didn't seem to me that Ariel was a warrior either. She was quite slender compared to the female knights and even if she did have some muscle, it wasn't as if she looked strong enough to be a match for the female knights.
I didn't think that she was strong enough to face the female knights either, but this was what Ariel wanted.
Since she was the royal guest, I had no choice but to go along with it.
However, I had also made sure to come up with a special method of sparring so that no one would be hurt because of it.
I gave a simple nod to Klein and said, "It's fine, just call any of your knights over."
Klein looked at me with one brow raised as if he was still doubtful of this, but in the end he still called out to one of the knights that was looking over here.
"Erina, come over here."
The one called Erina was a pink haired knight with flowing long hair and a single side braid hanging to the left of her head. She had a curvy body that gave her a perfect hourglass and her chest...might even give Cecilia a run for her money.
However, the moment that I saw her, I couldn't help feeling that she looked very similar...
Almost as if I had seen her somewhere before...
It wasn't the game that I remembered her from, but rather it seemed like I had seen her in some kind of doujin before.
I remembered that it had something to do with orcs...
While I was lost in a daze looking at her, Erina calmly walked over and saluted Klein before saying, "Captain, do you need something?"
Klein gave a nod before pointing at Ariel and saying, "His majesty wants you to spar with this guest."
Erina slightly knitted her brows when she heard this and there seemed to be a trace of unwillingness that formed in her eyes. But she didn't reject this command and just simply said, "Yes, captain."
It was clear that she didn't feel like sparring against Ariel would be good training, she even felt like it would be a waste of her time. However, she was a royal guard and there was no way for her to disobey a direct order.
So she just went over to the center of the training field where there was an arena waiting and then pulled out her sword to point at Ariel.
The way that she stood there, it was almost as if she was calling Ariel to come to her.
Klein gave a cough when he saw the dazed way that I was looking at Erina and said, "Your majesty, should we go over and watch?"
I snapped out of my daze when he directly addressed me, but I shook my head and said, "No, no, we're not doing that kind of sparring."
"Huh?" Everyone looked at me with a surprised and confused look when they heard this.
What else could sparring mean other than going on stage and fighting each other?
I could see the way that everyone looked at me, but I just shook my head and gave a sigh before going over to the side to pick up one of the swords.
With that sword in hand, I started to draw a circle in the sand.
I had the people around me move back as I drew this circle.
Once the circle was done, I went to the center and drew two lines there.
Looking at what I drew, I gave a satisfied nod before turning to Erina and Ariel to say, "Come over here."
Both of them had confused looks on their faces when they came over and they didn't know where to stand since they didn't know what I wanted from them.
I was about to explain it, but then I realized that it would be better if I just directly demonstrated what I wanted them to do to them. So I looked at Klein and waved my hand at him before saying, "Captain, can you come over and help me demonstrate?"
Klein was surprised to hear me calling for him, but he still came over to see what I was up to. Once he came over, I had him stand on one of the lines while I stood on the other.
Seeing this, he couldn't help asking, "Your majesty, this is?"
"We're going to try and push each other out of the ring without any weapons. We'll be depending purely on our strength to push each other out."
"Huh?" Klein had a confused look after hearing this explanation, but I didn't bother explaining anymore.
In cases like this, it was better to just give a demonstration rather than trying to explain.
So once the two of us were in position, I said, "Begin!"
Klein was still confused, but his reactions were still there. These were reactions that had been built over years of being in the royal guards and years of being on active duty, so it wasn't something that would betray him.
There was only a second of hesitation before he came at me with his hands outstretched.
It was just too bad that I knew more tricks than he did.
This new body of mine was a bit short, so there was a size difference between us.
Before he could grab me, I suddenly dived forward under him.
Then before Klein could react, I suddenly grabbed his legs and pulled them up.
With the force that he charged forward with and the force that I added, his legs came right off the ground and he was sent flying past me.
