Chapter 122 – Robert vs. Tanaka

Third person pov

After that, Robert decided to have a duel with Tanaka, so he asked him for that.

"Sure, I won't back down," answered Tanaka back with determined confidence.

Just in time, Tadashi and Harold came, and Tadashi said to Tanaka, "Tanaka-kun, it's almost lunch-"

His sentence was cut off when he and Harold saw Robert and Tanaka having a duel.

William walked up to them, and said to them, "They're having a duel now."

"I'm not sure about that," replied Tadashi back with doubt. "I don't think he is ready."

"You mean that Tanaka-senpai is not ready?" Harold asked.

"Yeah, I'm not sure if he would win or not," Tadashi responded back.

Back at Robert and Tanaka, their duel had begun. Tanaka did the same procedures for Sword Summon as last time, summoning a slightly different set of sword and katanas around him.

Robert was amazed with enthusiastic positivity.

Then, using his mind, Tanaka moved his right hand to control his summoned weapons in order to attack Robert.

But, Robert used Electric Barrier to block Tanaka's attacks, resulting in medium-sounding clang by the summoned weapons.

"Wow, that's Electric Barrier," Tadashi commented while his arms are crossed.

"Yeah, it's one of his signature abilities," William responded.

"I saw that before," added Harold. "He used that as a barrier between me and my older sister and my brutal eldest brother."

Upon hearing the last part, Tadashi was surprised, and he glanced at Harold and asked, "Wait, Arnold is your eldest brother? That brutal head commander of the Vanworth army?"

"Yes, I am a prince in exile," Harold responded with a self-declaration.

"Oh."

Back at the duel, Tanaka, still with his eyes closed, tried to change tactics by manipulating a few of his summoned weapons to teleport to the back of Robert in an attempt to attack him from behind.

But then, Robert felt that coming, and he immediately blocked that attack by summoning an Electric Barrier.

Tanaka then tried to penetrate through the Electric Barriers by pushing through with more mana.

But suddenly, Robert used Spark on both Electric Barriers to disarm and deactivate Tanaka's ability, sending a short shockwave that did the job right, causing all of Tanaka's summoned weapons to fall to the ground and dissipate into thin air.

Tadashi and the others are very surprised to see that combination.

"I never seen that before!" William remarked.

"Yeah, that was a cool combination," Harold added.

Tanaka then opened his eyes, only to see that his summoned weapons are gone, and Robert deactivated his two Electric Barriers, ending their duel.

"Did I lose?" Tanaka asked.

"Yeah, that Sword Summon was too weak," Tadashi responded to this. "You need to work on that more."

But that didn't caused Tanaka to be disheartened, and he just reassured to himself that he'll improve more.

"Yeah, that's right," Robert responded to this in happy enthusiasm. "Just improve more every day."

"Thanks, Robert-kun," Tanaka happily replied back to him.

After that, Tadashi said to them, "Well, with that out of the way, let's head to the main house. Mrs. Windheart is making Roasted Eggplants with Cheese for lunch."

"Wow, that looks delicious," Robert replied with enthusiasm. "Let's go then."

And so, all of them went to the Windheart estate's main house to eat lunch.
