Acquired the EX-class attribute ‘Transcendence Copy’

16 – Sudden Acceleration

Arsha Swordhorn defeated Sarah Leoris. This proposition has been true since at least today.

The thing she wished for so much that it appeared in her dream actually happened, but in the corner of Arsha’s heart, there was a feeling of discomfort that could not be hidden.

She

She herself stepped out of this confrontation with her heart on the line of her life and death. She bet Sarah Leoris with the feeling that if she loses, she will be thrown off the cliff.

However, Sarah, who was defeated in the confrontation, is making an expression as if she does not even know that there was a confrontation, rather than venting her anger.

In fact, Arsha felt her own defeat.

The Mini Wyvern is a monster that is more comfortable for wizards than for swordsmen. She faces off against the best prospect on the continent, but is the sport against her?

To put it bluntly, it wasn’t a fight with a winning streak.

However, when she opened the lid, she was the one who won. Others might think that Sarah’s true abilities are an exaggerated fake. But she was not Arsha.

She has seen Sarah Leoris use magic many times. The magic of her nemesis was so powerful that she resented it but had to admit it. Just by looking at her, she felt the wall of her talent between herself and herself.

In the end, there was only one rational decision. Sarah did not take this test seriously.

She said Sarah would take her test seriously for the glory of her family. But there is no one in the world who keeps all her words. In the first place, wasn’t there an observer in the match between the two?

If it was the Sarah Leoris she knew, no matter how bad she was, she would have done better than she is now.

The hypothesis that Sarah realized the futility of the test and did not give her all sounded more convincing to Arsha than that Sara accepted the poor result due to her poor physical condition.

‘Sarah Leoris. You don’t even consider me a competitor.’

The emotion burning hot inside was anger. The hot anger seething like magma warms the body.

It doesn’t matter that Sarah Leoris gets ahead of her. Because bondi world is not fair.

She has a talent that no one else dares to look at. So, she could tolerate Sarah having a greater talent than herself.

However, it was too much of an insult to her that she didn’t even look at herself. How much patience did she spend to surpass Sarah Leoris?

‘Sarah…. You stole my mother! So, at least look at me!’

Her ears still echoed what her mother had said at the social party that day.

-I wish that child was my daughter.

There is no need for such a soft victory. In order to make her mother look at herself again, she needed the title of Arsha Sword Horn to defeat Sarah Leoris.

That’s why Arsha tried to challenge Sarah to a duel right away. However….

“I would like to invite Ms. Swordhorn to a banquet at our mansion today…. Do you have time?”

She was suddenly invited to Sarah Leoris’ mansion.

—

The Royal Capital is, of course, the most expensive place in the kingdom. However, not all places are the same as the royal road.

The royal capital is divided into districts 1 to 20 in a clockwise direction based on the center where the royal palace is located. The lower the number, the closer to the royal palace and the higher the land price. In particular, when the number drops below 5, it becomes a wealthy village that even moderate nobles cannot easily settle down in.

The Academy is located in District 3. If you sell all the academy lands, you can easily buy two or three provincial estates.

The royal capital mansion of the Leoris family was in District 1. It is also directly opposite the royal palace. If you ask where the most gold hail land is in District 1, everyone puts their hands together and points to it.

“Welcome to the Leoris family.”

The door to her mansion opened as Sara smiled and greeted her in the courteous manner of aristocrats. An old butler with a benevolent impression wearing her outer glasses bows in the posture of a servant who is more polite than Sarah.

“It is an honor to welcome these noble guests. My name is Vincent, the butler of the Leoris family. We will do our best to ensure that there is no inconvenience or shortage during the stay of our guests.”

Sierra muttered with a nervous expression at the stylish welcome that felt dignified.

“Wow…. We’re visiting a real aristocratic mansion. I can’t believe it.”

“This will happen often when you enter the academy.”

John said, patting her nervous Sierra on the shoulder.

Arsha, Yohan, and Sierra entered the mansion together.

From the entrance of the Leoris family’s mansion, exclamations came out. Even Sierra, who is not well versed in art, was full of art objects that she admired, and her interior was refined and noble as if she had come to another world.

Carpets are from the East, statues and paintings are from the West, and furniture is from the North.

This mansion was a huge meeting place where all countries and regions met. In the part where there was no sense of disharmony even though such disparate things were brought together, I felt the immense strength of the Leoris family. These were different from the well-known aristocrats of the royal capital.

“Gulp.”

Arsha involuntarily swallowed dry saliva.

I knew it in my head. That the Leoris family is a higher-ranking family than the Swordhorn family.

However, knowing with your head and seeing with your eyes are two different things. This is because humans are fundamentally governed by sight.

‘Don’t be discouraged.’

Arsha pretended to be as calm as possible.

It was fortunate that a commoner was present at this meeting. Sierra was really busy looking around her mansion like a country boy who had just come to the capital.

It was something that no one with even the slightest bit of aristocratic knowledge would do.

“Let me guide you to your seat. Right away, is it okay to eat?”

At Sarah’s invitation, Arsha nodded her head.

She had no intention of staying here long. She said that her coming here was a form of spying.

Four people sat side by side at a square table. Vincent, the butler, and his attendants began to deliver food. The food was also of high quality, befitting the family.

“I don’t have much, but eat a lot.”

Sarah said with a grin.

The meal was delicious. The dishes were excellent and classy enough to make me feel worthwhile following strict etiquette. The explanation of the dishes was given by Bart, the chef of the mansion.

“Mushroom foam is placed on the scallops and finished with a rich demi-glace sauce. We recommend eating it all at once.”

“It is a beverage made from green apples, pears, and oriental tea. A little bit before the main dish will refresh your mouth.”

The food on the plate is also of high quality.

The cutlery for cooking is also of high quality.

The person who explains it is also advanced.

Even in unfamiliar circumstances without her high-end, Sierra lavished her praise on her cuisine.

“John. How much would I have to pay to buy this kind of food out of town?”

“Mmm. If it’s a course dish of this level, wouldn’t it be 10 silver?”

“O’clock, ten silver!? That’s more than my annual food bill.”

“Except for the drink pairing, that would be enough. Did you say John? Even though he’s a commoner, he’s surprisingly sharp-eyed.”

Arsha, who was enjoying the meal, responded to Yohan’s remarks.

“hahahaha. Thank you for a good look.”

There wasn’t much conversation between meals. Even Arsha lost interest in food.

“The chef at our mansion originally specialized in desserts. I usually have times when I can’t eat because I’m busy, but I don’t skip dessert. Try it.”

It was dessert time, the last order of the course. Dessert was a bite-sized cookie. It was a rather crude dessert, but the taste was surprisingly good.

When the meal was over, Sara opened her mouth with bright eyes.

“Did you like the meal?”

It was a satisfying meal. Arsha is very upset, but she has to admit it. Her nitpicking here is rather like spitting in her own face.

“It was fine.”

Arsha evaluated the cooking ability of the Leoris family with restrained expression.

“Excellent.”

Johann, a commoner, expressed his honest feelings. He did not use more rhetoric purely because it did not come to mind.

Hearing John’s praise, Sara smiled and shook her head.

The praises of a man named John were strangely better to hear than the compliments of others. It must be because his praise is shallow. Because people tend to value things that are rare.

“This is the first time I have eaten such delicious food. It was so delicious!”

Sierra also gave an honest assessment of her self-feeling.

“Still, the dessert made by Yohan was more delicious.”

A very honest evaluation.

“What do you mean!?”

Bart, the Leoris family’s exclusive chef, came out of the kitchen to ask how satisfied he was with the meal, and asked back in surprise at Sierra’s words.

“Didn’t you like my dessert? Have you lost any hair?”

“Oh, no. The chef is bald. Dessert was delicious. I just said that because the dessert Yohan made tastes better….”

“John? I’ve been in this industry for over 30 years, but I’ve never heard of a chef by that name! And I’m not bald. It’s just an involuntary shave for hygiene reasons! There is a big difference between the two, so be careful!”

“Isn’t that bald? And John is this way.”

Sierra said, pointing to John, who was sitting next to her. John waved at Bart awkwardly. Bart clenched his fists in anger.

“To make dessert better than me… ! No matter how much you are a guest of the lady, that is unacceptable! It’s absurd that a blue kid like that is better than me!”

Sara waved her hand in disapproval at Chef Bart’s sudden rash.

“Chef. You seem a little excited, but calm down…”

“Puhahahahaha! What an interesting situation.”

However, a cheerful male voice came from the other side of the kitchen.

Arsha reflexively turned her head in the direction of her voice. There stood a red-haired man just like Sarah.

“I heard that my daughter had a banquet, so I came here out of curiosity, but I never thought something fun like this would happen.”

The sage of detection.

The only arch mage in the royal capital.

It was Ralph Leoris.
