Chapter 174: Bad Luck
Blocking Eiji's path was a group of monsters resembling muscular humans with boar-like heads.
Orcs!
One of the standard monsters in Isekai, along with Goblins.
"Get out of my way." Eiji warned in a nonchalant tone.
"…"
Unfortunately, the Orcs did not understand human language. From their perspective, the crippled human in front of them was an easy target.
"Buhii Buhii Buhii."
After communicating with each other, one of the Orcs took the initiative to approach the 'crippled human.'
"I see... So that's the choice you've made."
Without a trace of fear as the Orc approached, Eiji drew his sword from the scabbard on his back.
"Come, let me test the quality of this sword."
"Buhiii!!!"
Seeing him holding the sword, the Orc stopped in its tracks, angrily roaring, and swung the wooden club in its hand.
FWhoosh*
The sound of the wind could be heard as the club was swung.
If an ordinary person were hit by this attack, it would be enough to break all the bones in their body. However, Eiji was not an ordinary person, even without the Limitless Technique.
*BAM*
Holding the sword with just his left hand, Eiji blocked the blow from the club without moving from his standing position.
The strong wind from their confrontation blew back his hood, revealing his beautiful white hair.
"Buhii???"
The Orc's eyes widened, not believing its attack was blocked by the 'crippled human.'
"The strength of this attack is equivalent to five skilled human warriors on the battlefield. Based purely on physical strength, not many Jujutsu Sorcerers can compete with an Orc."
Feeling the power behind the Orc's attack, Eiji analyzed it without changing his expression.
"Buhiii!!!"
Feeling humiliated for not being able to finish the opponent in one attack, the Orc was about to launch another strike.
"You are no longer useful. Die."
*Swoosh*
Eiji made a slashing move so fast it exceeded the speed visible to the naked eye.
In the next moment, the Orc's movement stopped, and its body was split vertically.
Avoiding the splattering blood, Eiji had already jumped back to keep his distance.
"Next."
Pointing his sword at the stunned group of Orcs, he spoke calmly.
"…"
Although the Orcs did not understand his words, they knew they were being provoked.
"Buhiii!!!"
"Buhiii!!!"
"Buhiii!!!"
With ear-piercing roars, the enraged Orcs charged at Eiji ferociously.
*Swoosh* *Swoosh* *Swoosh*
With Six Eyes providing visual information far beyond normal sight, the movements of the Orcs were very simple and easy to read. As a result, Eiji dodged the Orcs' attacks with minimal movement, and each time he moved his hand, an Orc would be sliced in two.
The battle could not even be called a fight; it was a one-sided slaughter. In less than three minutes, he had killed all the Orcs in the area.
"I miss my Leaf Sword."
Shaking off the Orc blood clinging to his sword onto the ground, Eiji was a bit disappointed to see the sword start to dull after facing only a few dozen Orcs.
He also felt dissatisfied with this sword's sharpness compared to his Leaf Sword.
"The treasure vault in the royal palace should store the best weapons, right? It wouldn't hurt to check it out after I recover."
A sudden idea popped into his mind.
"Roar!"
A majestic roar from the sky interrupted his thoughts.
Looking up, Eiji saw a lizard-like creature flapping its wings toward him.
"A dragon? No, it's too small to be classified as a Dragon; it fits the criteria of a Wyvern."
*BAM*
The Wyvern landed on the ground, causing dust and smoke to billow.
"First, I was blocked by a group of Orcs, and now a Wyvern... Sigh, is my luck just a bit better than Kamijo Touma's?"
This notion had long been on his mind, but Eiji always tried to stay positive. Now he began to doubt if his luck was truly the worst.
"BAAARRRRRRRRR!!!"
The Wyvern roared once more, and flames spewed from its mouth, burning everything in its path.
*Fsssttttttttt*
The sound of roaring flames mixed with the noise of explosions and hissing, creating a deafening symphony of chaos.
"Hmph."
Facing this attack, Eiji had no intention of dodging. Instead, he performed iai.
Iai or Iaijutsu is a Japanese sword martial art focusing on the technique of quickly and accurately drawing the sword to strike or deflect attacks. The iai movements emphasize precision, speed, and situational awareness.
*Swoosh*
A wave of slashes cut through the flames and shot as fast as lightning at the Wyvern. In the next moment, the Wyvern followed the fate of the Orcs on the ground, split vertically and dead.
"If I blocked it directly, I'm afraid this sword would melt."
Observing the small cracks in his sword due to its insufficient durability to withstand the technique he used, he sheathed it back.
"No more monsters coming, right?"
Looking around, Eiji did not sense any other living beings. After that, he ran toward the Tristain Magic Academy.
❀❀❀
As usual, Siesta brought lunch to Eiji's room.
"Eiji, where did you get the clothes?"
She was surprised to see him sitting and meditating on the bed in new clothes. She did not remember giving him those clothes.
As a maid working at the academy, she recognized the clothes on Eiji's body as a male student's uniform.
"I took it from one of the rooms."
Opening his eyes, Eiji frankly told the truth.
"You stole those clothes? That's not right; what if the owner reports the theft to the guards?"
"I don't think that will happen. Do you think a noble kid would care just because they lost one or two pieces of clothing? At most, they would think they forgot where they put it and not care anymore."
"That... You have a point."
Siesta found Eiji's explanation reasonable.
"No one saw you, right? You are Lady Louise's Familiar; it would be a problem if someone reported you."
"Um, everything is under control."
"Are you sure no one saw you?"
"Yeah."
"Alright, I believe you."
Seeing Eiji not seem to be lying, Siesta stopped discussing the topic. Walking closer, she handed him a tray of food.
"You're lucky, Eiji. The kitchen prepared beef soup for lunch today, and I also brought the fruits you requested."
"Thank you very much."
"Do you want me to feed you like yesterday?"
Siesta wanted to see his embarrassed reaction. So she teased him a bit. Unfortunately, she was facing the wrong person.
Eiji didn't even change his expression and calmly replied.
"No need to trouble you; my wounds have healed a bit, I can eat by myself."
"I see. In that case, I have to go, still have work to do."
"Um."
Seeing him start to eat, Siesta left room.
