The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest-Chapter 160: Challenged Into a Duel ②

Translated by AmaLynne

“It’s been a while. Well, do you want to see the master? If so, come in.”

“No, I came to see you.”

He had the gatekeeper open the door, and he smiled softly at Sam as he ran up to him.

Sam tilted his head at this.

“For me? Oh, that’s right, just in time. I was just about to come over to your place to give Kotomi-chan the grimoire.”

“I see, for the sake of the matter. Thank you. Samuel-kun is such a good boy.”

“Ah, yes, thank you.”

Kurando’s smile clouded as Sam was puzzled, not understanding why he had suddenly been praised.

“That’s why I’m so sorry it came to this.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

When Sam, who did not understand what he meant, asked, the Sword Saint looked straight at him and spoke clearly.

“Samuel Scheidt, I challenge you to a duel.”

“……?”

At Kurando’s words, not only Sam, but even Hanae’s eyes widened and she couldn’t believe her ears.

“It’s a duel for my life. I must kill you.”

“Wait a minute! What do you mean, a duel?”

“I will be waiting for you tomorrow at the dojo. The only place in Royal Capital where you and I can fight to the fullest would be the palace or the dojo.”

“Wait a minute! I have no reason to fight you!”

“I am…a messenger of the Michel family.”

“――huh.”

Sam was stunned.

He had never thought that the Sword Saint would claim to be an emissary of the Michel family.

Sam knows the Michels want to kill him, but he never thought they would use Kurando.

“Now you know why we fight, don’t you?”

“I don’t know. Why you?”

He managed to get his trembling voice out.

Even if he was Lise’s teacher and had always cared for her after her divorce, Sam couldn’t understand why Kurando would become the messenger of the Michel family and try to kill him.

Even his daughter Mizuki was annoyed by Julian’s wooing.

How could he not know that?

Sam wanted to know Kurando’s true intentions and waited for him to speak, but he just shook his head and gave no answer.

“I will be waiting for you tomorrow at the mansion. Yes, the time could be in the evening.”

He says just that and turns his back on Sam.

“Wait! Don’t go off on your own!”

“I will give you time to say goodbye to your loved ones, especially Lise.”

“Are you going to fight me?”

“Yes, I’m serious. I have to fight you, I’m sorry.”

“So tell me why!”

“I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Without answers to the end, Kurando disappeared.

He made no sound and was gone at a blinding speed.

“…fast. I didn’t see him.”

Sword Saint’s speed of movement surprised Hanae, who had been watching what was happening.

The same is true for Sam.

“Me too. I mean, what the hell! Why do I have to fight Kurando-sama!”

But more than that, he is not convinced that he has to fight Kurando and shouts.

“Sam, can you beat the Sword Saint?”

“I don’t know. I’m sure he’s someone you don’t want to imagine fighting for a minute.”

Just as Hanae could not follow with her eyes, Sam could not see Kurando’s movements.

The name Sword Saint is not a mere decoration.

The man who obtained the title of the strongest in the kingdom with a single sword was strong. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The reason was, Sam had to fight such a man, and it sent a chill down his spine.
