“already? After all, he is my husband. “I’m going to feast on it for a while.”
“Did you do well?”
“Good job, good job.”
After the couple’s intimate(?) reunion, the orc man looked at Reppenhardt and shouted in a cheerful tone.
“Nice to meet you, stranger warrior. “I am the warrior Kalken, chief of the Blue Bear Tribe.”
☆ ☆ ☆
Kalken, standing in front of Reppenhardt, took off his cloak. Unlike the face that looks slightly older, the youthful body armed with bursting muscles is clearly revealed.
and… … .
‘Hehe, is this your first time since Master?’
Reppenhardt was feeling awkward as he experienced looking up at another person for the first time in a long time.
Kalken’s height was well over 2 meters. It seemed almost as good as the previous King of Fist, Thethron. Well, he looked a little shorter than Master Gerard, but Orcs have an average height of slightly shorter than humans and have a body that is wider on both sides. Looking at his wide shoulders and thick limbs, he seemed to be even bigger than his master.
Reppenhardt and Kalken stood facing each other. Some people watching unconsciously rubbed their eyes. With two enormous figures standing side by side, perspective became confused.
Kalken asked a question to Reppenhardt.
“Human fighter, may I deal with you on behalf of my wife?”
Repenhardt responded cheerfully.
“Good!”
If this had been a duel focused on winning or losing, there would have been no need to deal with Kalken, who was difficult to deal with, instead of the exhausted Starla. But in any case, winning is not important in the mind of a good pitcher. So, if you refuse the offer here, you can’t refuse it because you will show ‘a shameful appearance unbecoming of a warrior.’ In that case, it would be better to show an exciting performance and get at least more points.
“That’s what I was hoping for!”
Kalken burst into laughter.
“ha ha ha! good night! “Manly!”
Kalken took out a greatsword from behind his back. It was a greatsword longer than the Kalken, well over 2 meters long. The mob of swordsmen was so enormous that it seemed like if they were laid sideways, three or four people would have enough space to get out of the rain.
Ugh!
An even larger green blade aura appears above the body of the huge sword. Kalken shouted as he raised his auror and aimed his sword.
“Take up arms!”
Repenhardt took a stance with golden aura in both fists.
“I myself am a weapon!”
“Hoo?”
Kalken looked interested. Of course, there were bare-handed martial arts skills that were passed down to the Orcs, but there were no people who actually used weapons with their bare hands. As long as there is a vision called Spirit Weapon, the Orc with the weapon is much stronger.
“Interesting!”
With his eyes shining, Kalken roared.
“let’s fight!”
At that moment, Reppenhardt smiled and stretched out his hand.
“Dream, rest in peace. Improvised Sleep!”
At the same time, Kalken, who was trying to rush in, fell down.
“Grung~!”
“… … .”
Everyone watching was silent. Everyone was astonished and had their mouths wide open. My eyes were shining in anticipation of a showdown between powerful Auror users, but what happened?
No matter how much I flew and jumped, an orc was an orc. Auror users did not develop magic resistance that they did not have.
Silan muttered with a dumbfounded look on his face.
“Huh, it’s vain… … .”
Russ also had a similar expression.
“You can’t count this as a victory, right?”
“… … “No way?”
Siris clicked his tongue. The ritual of fighting is ultimately an act of measuring a warrior’s skills. Even if I showed magic here, there was no way I would be recognized by the orcs. I couldn’t understand why Leppenhardt did something like that.
‘Isn’t this the only way to cause animosity?’
As expected, Stella was bewildered and looked alternately at her husband, who was fast asleep, and at Reppenhardt, who was withdrawing his hand.
“This is not the way of a warrior!”
Reppenhardt gestured towards Stella, who was crying out in frustration.
“Wake me up.”
Stella clicked her tongue and walked up to her husband, kicking him with her foot. Kalken yawned, opened his eyes, looked around, and muttered fiercely.
“huh? “Aren’t you tired?”
“You’re under a spell, husband.”
“uh? “Was that friend a wizard too?”
Kalken looked at Reppenhardt with surprised eyes.
If the other person had been an ordinary human being, I wouldn’t have been so surprised. However, Kalken had already figured out that Reppenhardt was a powerful Auror. A person with the power of a powerful warrior can even use magic?
Repenhardt shrugged his shoulders and responded.
“I am a warrior and a wizard. “I only informed you to be fair.”
The orcs’ expressions became strange.
As much as they reverence warriors, orcs despise the existence of wizards. The existence of magic, which could not be prevented no matter how much one trained, was no different from the devil’s tricks to the Orcs.
However, despite his outright contempt, Reppenhardt is, by all accounts, a powerful warrior. I can’t decide whether I should admit it or not.
Kalken was embarrassed and Reppenhardt spoke in a calm voice to the other orcs.
“Like my body, magic is also my weapon. “Isn’t it rude if I don’t deal with you with everything I have?”
After listening to it, it seemed like that was true. Kalken muttered in confusion.
“Is that so?”
Although he appeared calm on the outside, Repenhardt was anxious on the inside, watching the orcs’ reactions.
‘Hmm, how are we going to get out?’
In fact, Repenhardt did not use the sleep spell because he was unaware of the orcs’ antipathy towards magic. But now he has to earn the trust of the orcs. It’s not like he won’t use magic in front of the orcs for the rest of his life anyway, but if he hides the fact that he’s a wizard and gets caught later, he’ll lose even more credibility.
Trust is hard to gain, but losing it is fleeting.

Even if it meant being cautious, showing everything honestly now was a better choice for the future.
And, in fact, there was a part of me that believed in it.
‘Because Kalken’s perception of magic wasn’t that bad.’
As expected, Kalken lowered his expression and nodded.
“Right. “If magic is your weapon, it would be dishonorable not to use it.”
The other orcs all tilted their heads and murmured at Kalken’s statement acknowledging the existence of magic.
“Magic is bad, right?”
“But isn’t it bad to have a weapon and not use it?”
“But is magic a weapon? “Isn’t that rude?”
“Isn’t it more shameful not to give your best during the ritual of fighting? “I like it because you’re honest.”
“difficult… … .”
The loud orcs eventually came to their own conclusion.
“Oh, if that’s the case with the Chief, then that’s probably it.”
As expected of simple servants, they gave up thinking deeply and just did what Kalken said. Kalken stood up with his great sword and looked at Reppenhardt.
“Human fighter, thank you for your consideration.”
It was a voice that clearly acknowledged magic. Kalken continued speaking to Reppenhardt, who was inwardly relieved.
“But that alone will not be enough to gain trust.”
“I know.”
Recognizing magic does not mean that Kalken also recognized wizards. He only regarded it as one of Reppenhardt’s weapons. If Reppenhardt fights Kalken using only wizard-like techniques, not warrior-like, even if he wins, he will only be perceived as a strong wizard and will not be able to gain their trust.
The reason why Reppenhardt in his previous life gained the trust of the orcs was because of his actions and attitude toward the orcs. He was never a powerful magic power. Rather, even though he treated the orcs with such enthusiasm, he had a very hard time attracting them due to the fact that he was a wizard.
‘Now, thanks to this body, the process will go a little faster. This is good.’
Repenhardt chuckled to himself.
Kalken raised his greatsword and shouted as if making a declaration.
“Then, let’s begin the hotu ritual again!”
“Good!”
Reppenhardt aimed both fists at Kalken.
Kalken also raised his green aura and prepared for battle.
The atmosphere became ugly again. Kalken and Reppenhardt glared at each other with eyes full of war. A ferocious fighting spirit bloomed between the two, mixing together like a haze.
At some point.
“Taaaat!”
“Kaaaaaat!”
The two Auror users launched themselves at each other.

Kalken’s greatsword swung long towards Reppenhardt. A green aura forms on the sword body, which is over 2 meters long, and spreads the light of destruction.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Wherever the auror passes by, an explosion occurs and dust rises. Reppenhardt stretched out his left fist, spreading spiral guards on both of his forearms to block the blade.
“A surprise bomb!”
A golden cannonball flies in front of Kalken. Kalken dodged by flying his body and struck his sword again. It was a blow that focused all of the aura of the entire body on one point. Trembling at the power contained in it, Reppenhardt took a step and avoided the attack. Jim Unbreakable’s philosophy is to fill most things with the body, but the energy that was currently forming on Kalken’s sword was by no means significant. It was a slash with enough power to pierce Reppenhardt’s spiral guard.
Reppenhardt narrowly avoided the blade and narrowed the distance, then stretched out his fists one after another and shouted.
“Series of surprise bombs!”
Dozens of Auror shells rain down on all sides of Kalken. There were too many orbits to attack them one by one, but Kalken easily blocked all attacks using the sword’s face as a shield.
Boom boom boom!
Auror clashes with Auror, making a roar. Reppenhardt clicked his tongue and widened the distance.
‘As expected, Orcs are good at handling such huge weapons.’
The martial arts of the Orcs, developed over a long period of time, had many mysterious aspects. Just because a weapon is large does not mean its movements are slow. Kalken’s method of using the sword’s center of gravity to deliver a powerful blow and then using centrifugal force to change the trajectory again, left Reppenhardt unable to figure out what to do right away and had to retreat again and again.
Reppenhardt continued to stretch his fists and swing his legs, trying hard to block Kalken’s attacks.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Dozens of attacks took place and thunder echoed in all directions. After fighting for a while, Leffenhardt noticed and tried magic.
“Dream, rest in peace. Improvised Sleep!”
It was an improved sleep spell that I had already used once. Thanks to my hard work, my lower circle magic has now reached a level where I can use it even during battle. In fact, it could be said to be a rather cruel tactic, as one hit of this would put Kalken back to sleep.
‘But if I had dealt with someone like this, I would have proven my qualifications as a warrior, well.’
To be honest, I thought that if the fight continued, someone would get hurt, so I was thinking of ending the duel at this point. I knew it… … .
“Grung~!”
Sadly, it gets caught right away. Mental spells are not visible and shoot out like flames or lightning, so they cannot be avoided or used in silence. Leppenhardt, thinking he had won everything, was about to deliver a slight blow.
