CHAPTER 221: NO HARD FEELINGS, RIGHT?

"You sneaky bastard!!" Esteressa attacks me right after Cordel is announced to have lost their turn. She leaps forward like the hungriest beast ever and reaches me in only one jump.

The knuckles she has on covers her whole forearms and are quite thick, they must heavy. she punches with all her strength but hits the wind as I evade it. Then, she makes the same mistake as Lanuvel, she puts her foot slightly more forward than she needs to. I kick it and as she stumbles, I hit her neck with the knob of my raizen.

"Argh!" She falls to the ground and starts wriggling while holding her neck with her hand. It didn't knock her out? Did I use less strength than I thought?

"Watch out!!" I raise my weapon again but when I want to strike her, her teammate calls out to her and she rolls away from me.

"Bastard!!" She stands up in furry and comes again.

"That's enough. Group three has lost."

Smith announces their loss right as her hand and my raizen collide.
