"I don't think that's a good idea. I should probably just do it by myself."
I wasn't sure how much I needed to hold back with him as an opponent. I couldn't appear weak in front of all these nobles because that would defeat the purpose of me coming here. But if I try displaying my power, I might accidentally end up hurting him.
"That would be too dull. Even though I am an Earl now, I am a trained knight who has fought in the front lines several times. With me as an opponent, you will be able to display your abilities without holding back." He moved a little back and looked towards the crowd in front. "Doesn't everyone here agree?"
"Yes!"
"That's what we have been waiting for."
"We want a duel!"
