I Reincarnated As a Tree

Low 37: Demand for Dueling

“So you still don't want to go?.” asked Azlea to Daniel's group.

“Where might we go after you humiliate us like this!.” Daniel is upset that the cutting-edge weapon he created is only considered a toy by the woman in front of him.

‘How is this damn woman able to neutralize the power of laser beam?, and how is this room suddenly full of flowers like a glass room.’

Daniel, who was a scientist, did not believe in magic, he always looked at everything from a scientific point of view.

‘There must be a secret technique he used. A Mana energy processing technique which he did not spread to others.’ Thinking that Azlea had not yet shown all her knowledge made Daniel feel upset.

“Why him?.” Azlea asked Saras about Daniel who was staring angrily while clenching his teeth, a dog-like growling sound was heard from the man's mouth.

“Either, he is constipated perhaps.” Saras replied as he yawned. Facing people like Daniel makes him sleepy.

Brak! Daniel suddenly kicked the table, leaving the two women shocked.

“You think the whole man-made technology is no better than the power of the system that comes from the devil is not it!.” Daniel feels insulted, he does not accept his artificial technology is not worth the power of the system.

“Why are you suddenly comparing your homemade weapon to the system?.”

“Whispering shit!. I challenge you to fight to see the power ready for better, man-made technology or systems from the demons.”

“Heeeee...”.

Azlea realized that whatever she said would not change Daniel's decision. If Azlea refused this duel, I don't know what the tech-crazed man would say to the world.

An abandoned town where novice Hunters hunt weak monsters. Hundreds of people came, they were not Hunters who wanted to hunt but journalists who wanted to cover my fight with Daniel.

All of a sudden everything became so big. Whether because he wants to prove which is better technology or magic, Daniel invited many mass media to cover this match.

“He just wants to show off.” Saras looked at Daniel with disdain. The man is currently conducting interviews with reporters. Daniel's words clearly cornered the witches and the people who harnessed the power of the system.

It certainly made a variety of reactions from the Hunters who came to this place to watch.

“Let me guess, I cannot ask you to replace me on this useless match right?.” If I could I would like to run away from this match.

“Isn't that clear. See in Tumiter already many posts the master fans support, they want to see the witch fight.” Saras showed his smartphone screen showing the internet furore about this fight.

I can only breathe heavily. Seeing that Saras asked why I was so burdened with this easy fight.

“I'm just not used to the gazes of the cameraman who keep pointing the camera at my chest.” My gaze is fixed on some of the cameras that point at the camera with their perverted faces.

“Kuh, Base the savage ba_bis!.” Saras resentfully beat one by one perverted cameraman.

“Bwahahaha…. What are you doing Miss Leah, why is your body shaking, are you afraid that the weakness of the magic power you exalt is exposed to the world?.”

“After roaring in front of reporters, you want to provoke me?.” I replied without even turning to Daniel.

“Bahahaha... You are so sensitive Miss Leah, it implies if you win in panic is not it?.” I really don't like the way this guy laughs.

“So why did you choose this place?,” my gaze was fixed on the vicinity filled with abandoned buildings. Many drones and helicopters from television stations flew in the air.

Daniel coughed when I came back to remind Daniel of an embarrassing incident. The IRONice company last month launched an army of giant robots. It is clear that they want to create a fictional character from a famous robot film into the real world.

But not an advanced robot killer who became an antagonist character in the film, but a bad joke they created. The robot can do nothing but stand still and blow itself up.

“Ha.ha.ha...” Daniel laughed awkwardly. “You are good at bullying others miss leah.”

“As if you didn't do it yourself at interview.”

The longer the more people arrive, the more they can't wait to see our match. But on the grounds of lack of energy due to the attacks that two did before Daniel submitted a representative of IRONice company who will fight with me.

Thirty minutes passed, from a distance I could see a jet aircraft with the emblem of the company IRONice flying over here. “That's him! Finally two coming!.” Danie shouted loudly while pointing at the sky, making everyone stare at where the jet plane was.

The jet flew through the sky of the city and dropped something. The thing that looked like a capsule fell into the middle of the abandoned city, all the attention was on him.

“Air drop without a parachute?. I hope whatever is inside the capsule does not end up being whipped cream.” I commented after seeing the object buried in the ground as a result of being dropped from the sky.

***

The capsule door opened, cold air seeping out from inside the capsule. All the fastest people looking from inside the capsule were a handsome young man with blonde hair sleeping. Slowly the young man's eyes opened revealing an inhumane, black look with golden irises like camera lenses.

Slowly the young man came out of the capsule, Some of the wires connected to his body came apart. Stood up in the middle of an abandoned town. All the attention of cameras, journalists, Hunter to ordinary citizens was on him.

“Look at the power created from the technology of mankind!.” Daniel spoke so excitedly, “The perfect soldier I managed to create, G.I Nos mark 7.”

Uwooooo! Everyone is excited.

“Robot humanoid?.” Saras still does not look interested in the appearance of the opponent.

“No, it's a cyborg. I can see them winning human brains in the frame of that machine.” Hearing what I said shocked everyone, strange speculations about IRONice began to spread.

“Hahaha. True it won a cyborg with the brain of a soldier who suffered paralysis while trying to protect the citizens when the outbreak six months ago.” Daniel begins to tell a sad story whose truth can be questioned.

While I myself re-identify the cyborg named G.I Nos mark 7.

“Will be troublesome indeed.” murmured me.

“Heh! This was the first time the master had said such a thing when dealing with his opponent. Did that robot win so strong?.” Saras is curious about the power of cyborgs.

“True, many magic runes and mithril layer make it equivalent to boss level monsters.” Ignoring Saras who was shocked by my judgment, I immediately prepared anything for the fight.

Taking the wooden stick that was my flagship weapon, I floated towards the middle of the city. The distance between the two of us was about ten meters, G.i nose looked at me threateningly.

“Now how do we get started?.”

Wuuuss

“Eh!.”

In an instant the robot youth was in front of me. The movement was so fast, the extremely close distance made me unable to dodge the blow.

Braaak!

“Ghaaak!.” One punch struck my stomach, my body bouncing away saving an abandoned building. “Ugh, I almost spit out my breakfast.” It felt painful, stronger than I imagined. I didn't think they could create a cyborg like that in just a few months.

“There is something strange.”
