The Abandoned Baroness Is One of the Black Knight’s Favorites Chapter 10

 

The lady is picked up by the black knight 10

The sharp sound of swords clashing echoed across the training ground of the Knights of the Guard. In today's joint training of the Knights, tournament battles were being held by the members. The use of magic was prohibited in this training, which was disadvantageous for magic knights who usually used magic to expand the attack range or used defensive magic to support themselves. The battles were being fought with imitation swords. Victory could be achieved if either of the contestants was rendered immobile or if the sword was taken from his hand.

 After the battle, Gilbert wiped the sweat off his forehead and checked the results of the second platoon. In the evening, when there were only a few games left, it seemed that there were only two people left besides Gilbert. Neither of them were magic knights. One of whom was Gilbert's superior.

"Gilbert, you're in a good mood today."(Abel)

 "Captain, thank you for your hard work."(Gilbert)

 A sharp-eyed man with red quirky hair ── Abel, the second captain of the Knights of the Guard, stood next to Gilbert. Abel wears a different blue suit than Gilbert, even though they are in the same second platoon. Tall, well-burnt skin and solid muscles.

"Gilbert is tired too.... So what happened?"(Abel)

 Abel asked Gilbert not to conceal what he was thinking. Gilbert wondered if he had such an easy-to-understand face. I remember Sophia's innocent eyes. It's been a while since I've seen such a pure reaction to magic. Sophia, who was feeling down and had a clouded expression, changed her expression when she saw a little bit of magic. I was simply happy about that.

 "Nothing."(Gilbert)

 "It's not nothing, your sword sounds different from how it usually does. I can tell."(Abel)

 Gilbert sighed inwardly at Abel, who added the words,

 "If you don't want to talk about it, I won't pry too deeply."(Abel)

 Abel was the superior who had taken care of Gilbert since he had joined the Knights because he was liked by Matthias and was expected to have great magical talent. Despite Gilbert being a magical knight, it was Abel who taught Gilbert how to fight with just a sword. . Gilbert was supposed to fight Abel in the quarterfinals after the ongoing matches were settled.

 "I'm glad my next battle is with the captain this time. I will learn from it."(Gilbert)

Abel sighed deeply at Gilbert's words. Wrinkle formed between his eyebrows and his voice dropped.

 "You've not lost yet. I don't like the atmosphere here in the first place."(Abel)

 As the matches progressed, the number of knights wearing the black uniform decreased. Black is the color of a magic knight. Gilbert was the only black knight winning. Magical knights, who are heavily used , are often exposed to jealousy. In most cases, a general knight is superior when it comes to skill with a sword. In this joint training, the magic knights were good targets. Gilbert, who had been trained by Abel, has progressed without difficulty, but it is different when it comes to winning. General knights have the pride of general knights. We do not interfere with one another. Gilbert opened his mouth pretending not to hear Abel's words. 

"It's about to start, let's head to the ground for our match."(Gilbert)

 The whistle rang loudly, and the knights on the training ground approached the edge. In the quarter-finals, four groups of eight knights took turns to fight on the training ground to decide the winner. Those who have already lost were waiting for the matches to start with their eyes on the contenders, trying to learn anything from the knights in front of them.

 Gilbert sees Abel holding his sword at a distance. Gilbert was pleased to see that he had no chance to face him from the front. Gilbert didn't like to lose, but he was no match for Abel when it came to pure sword fighting. Because he knew that, he was happy that he could fight with all his might. It was a pleasant turn of events for Gilbert, who expected the training session to be boring.

 A whistle was blown briefly, and Gilbert slashed at the stationary Abel. Abel surprises Gilbert by slashing diagonally. Gilbert jumped out to avoid the next expected attack. Abel closed the distance with Gilbert, not giving him a chance to reposition his sword. Lightly striking swords measure the distance between each other. As Gilbert looked at Abel's expression, Abel smiled at the edge of his lips.

 "There is a lot of tension. Would you like to yield?"(Abel)

 Gilbert narrowed his eyes aggressively at Abel's words.

 "No thank you."(Gilbert)

Gilbert took a step and aimed at Abel's sword. Abel turns around as if he expected it. The cheers of the knights who had turned into spectators echoed across the training ground.
