Chapter 452: The Day of the Spar
The next day, I was woken up by Angela in the morning. Despite Candy is sleeping next to me and the both of us are naked, Angela entered my room without a care. Though it seems that Victoria is quick to react as she turned into a blanket to cover us both.
“Roy! It’s the day for the spar! Wake up!” Angela shouted.
“Hnn... the spar was scheduled later in the evening. Not in the morning. Let me sleep a bit longer,” I said.
Because of her shout, Candy is awake as well. Though I think she has been awake before I do.
“Angela, can’t you wait a little longer? The both of us are naked here,” Candy said.
“Oh, sorry! I didn’t know you’re here!” Angela said.
“I thought it’s already common for everyone here to know that Roy would sleep with someone at night. Thanks to Victoria, you didn’t see something that will embarrass you. The spar will be later in the evening. How about you warm up with me first? Let’s go after I have breakfast,” Candy said.
.....
“Okay! I’ll be waiting!”
Angela left my room after that. She seems to be impatient to start our sparring session right away.
Well, today, I also need to watch the vampires for a bit. Although they seem to be able to blend in, it’s best to keep watch on them for now.
“How can she enter the room of a man who has many lovers so easily? Didn’t she know that we might do something that might scare her for life?” Candy asked.
“What thing? What will scare her? She’s a romantic person who is looking for the right man, so she of course has quite the imagination. The spar today makes her so impatient that she forgot about everything. I hope she can find the right person that can stop her from being wild,” I said.
“What about you? Why won’t you be her lover?” Candy asked.
“Like I said, she’s looking for romance. And I can’t give her that,” I replied.
“But if she’s the one asking, you will agree, right?” Victoria asked.
“Obviously. By the way, you sure are used to seeing my night activities now. Is voyeur your new hobby?” I asked Victoria.
“Although I write amazing stories, I still write some normal stuffs of relationship between man and woman. I don’t always write about relationship between men, you know?” Victoria said.

“I know. You can sleep a little longer,” Candy said as she’s getting dressed and left my room.
“Wait! I’m coming too!”
Seems like Victoria wants to watch Angela and Candy warming up.
Well, even if Victoria sees what Angela can do, it doesn’t mean that Angela will use the same magic later.
Maybe Angela would even use something totally new? She has that capabilities after all. It might be a difficult fight, but I doubt either one of us will be injured badly. It’s just a spar after all.
After sleeping some more, I woke up during lunch time. And there’s a feast in the dining hall.
“...It’s just a spar, so how come it became something to celebrate?” I asked Lina. ????????????????????????????. ᴄo????
“It’s not just a spar. It’s something that you and Angela will use everything you have in. So, I prepared nice meal for you two. Enjoy them,” Lina said.
Just what is wrong with everyone? Well, not that I would reject delicious meal in front of me.
Angela also seems to have returned from warming up. And when I look at Candy, it seems that she got slightly hurt from training with Angela. Though she has been healed by Kayla, I can still see the remains of the injuries inside her body. Just how much did they fight?
After lunch, Angela drank a lot of mana potions and said that she’s going to rest in her room. Did she spend too much magic just for training?
“Candy, what did you two do? It’s not just a warm up?” I asked Candy.
“Well, I wanted to test my full power as well. But it seems that she’s way stronger than me. Don’t worry, I’m fine now,” Candy replied.
“That’s good. Next time, try not to injure yourself in training. You are precious to me,” I said.
“...Roy, even if you think that it will just be a spar, don’t think of it lightly. Angela will go all out later. Accept her intention well, or you will be the one who got hurt,” Candy said.
Seems like she knows that Angela won’t hold back. I’ll keep that in mind.
Maybe I need to find a bigger place. 10 kms radius seems to be small now.
After lunch, Sonia suddenly appears in front of me.
“Roy. Kron is calling for you. He’s in Bernard’s mansion,” Sonia said.
Kron? That’s rare for him to call for me. In fact, it has never happened before.
As for being in Bernard’s mansion, after the battle against the vampires, Kron and Fabio ended up becoming good friends. And he said that he will help Fabio and King Harold for the time being, until they recapture Arturo back. I don’t know how long that is, but with Kron at their side, I can rest easy.
As I arrive at Bernard’s mansion, I was greeted by a fist from Kron.
“You little fucker!” Kron shouted.
I easily caught his punch and asked him what’s wrong.
“What the hell is wrong with you?”
“I’m just jealous!”
“Why are you jealous?”
“Various reason!”
“And you’re venting it on me?”
“Yes!”
...I don’t get this guy sometimes.
“Sure, sure. Throw your punches as you like. I will block all of them though,” I said.
While being watched by the royalties of this kingdom, Kron keep venting his anger by attacking me. as long as it’s just physical attacks, it’s easy for me to stop them.
“Anyway, what happened?” I asked again after Kron is tired.
“You’re going to spar with Angela, right? Kron asked once as well, but he lost miserably. I guess when everyone is hyping up your spar, he thinks that he’s weak. That’s why he’s angry,” Fabio explained.
“...that’s stupid,” I said.
“It’s okay. I’m calm now. Sorry for troubling you,” Kron said after he calmed down.
Of course that was thanks to me using calming gas on him.
“So, what’s wrong? I doubt that’s the only reason you asked me to come, right?” I asked them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You’re going to broadcast your fight, right? Make sure that the camera won’t bet broken at all time because of your fight. I want to watch how powerful you two are,” Kron said.
“That’s it? Like, seriously? Just why is everyone hyping up about this spar? We did a lot of sparring even before this, but it never became this big,” I asked.
“No matter what, it has become too big among us. Just show us what you got. This will make other people who watched it feel more motivated to get stronger. Isn’t that what you want?” Harold said.
“...fine. Though I don’t know about the camera being destroyed or not since I will focus more on the spar than the camera. If that’s all, I’ll be going home.”
Basically, everyone wanted to watch this more than the previous tournament. When I say everyone, it means our allies.
I heard that not only the kings. Those who they can trust also received TVs and can watch them. Including in Mellian and Melk.
Isn’t it too much for just a spar? And Angela will go all out? Is she going with the intent to kill?
Sigh... I need to lay on the bed until tonight to set my mind in the right mindset for the spar. Seems like I can’t be as relaxed as I thought I would be.
I only come out of my room for dinner, which is just a light meal since I’ll be moving a lot. They are filling, but not enough to make my stomach full. Still, perfect to eat before battle.
“Angela, are you ready?”
Angela was also staying in her room resting after her training with Candy. She has a serious expression on her face.
“I’m ready,” Angela said.
“Then, we’ll be leaving. Don’t get your hopes up thinking that it will be an intense battle,” I said before opening a portal for the two of us to enter.
But other than us and Victoria who can’t be separated from me, Sonia also entered the portal.
“You’re going to watch us fight? Be careful not to die,” I said.
“Don’t worry. I’m a ghost. And the only thing that can hurt me is your Aura. As for that, don’t forget that even if I look like this, I used to be an Aura user as well. At least as long as your attack is not targeted at me, I can easily dodge it. I’ll be invisible most of the time, so don’t mind me.”
After saying that, Sonia then disappears. But I can still see her. Though I’m pretty good at ignoring, so it should be fine.
We are in the forest that I checked yesterday. And now that I looked at the surrounding again, there are no monsters nearby. Thanks to Andro’s intimidation.
“Roy, are you ready?” Angela asked.
“Shall we?”
And with that, the sparring that everyone hyped up too much is begun.
