Chapter 52: Banquet

"Huff, huff, huff. FUCK!"

For the first time after I came to this world, I swore out loud.

/STAB/ /STAB/

"Next time, I will win; just wait."

No matter how calm I was at that time when facing Julia after the loss, the moment I was alone, the frustration kicked in. 

/STAB/ /STAB/ 

"I am still lacking. My sword is still lacking."

Stabbing the dummy in front of me, I mumbled. 

Looking at the scar mark on my right shoulder, I remembered the sensation of losing. 

"Huff."

However, you can't live while always looking your back, remembering the bad things that happened to you. You need to move on, taking control of your emotions.

Exhaling my breath, I emptied my head and started my sword training again…

***

'System, finish the quest. I won't be dueling with any other seventh-rank knight.'

After I finished today's training and cooled my head, I said to the system to get my rewards.
