Chapter 121
One day a seasoned swordsman blocked his path.
"…I've heard about you."
Rudeus stopped.
"…Okay."
"…Fight me."
No arrogance.
Just curiosity.
Rudeus nodded.
"…Alright."
The duel lasted—
Less than a second.
The swordsman didn't even see the strike.
Tap.
Silence.
"…I lost?"
He wasn't even sure when it happened.
