Isekai No Tensai's

The Persistence of Princess Lina

In the small tent that was no more than 5×6 meters in size, Shou conversed with the elders and was accompanied by his peri. She was very attached to Shou, her hands tightly hugging Shou's arms. And it makes Shou feel uncomfortable, but as much as possible he tries to ignore it and focus on the conversation.

“How's princess Lina doing, did she have serious injuries?” Ask Shou.

“Don't think of him, he always has. Challenging someone whose strength is much greater than it is, it becomes like that.” Said the elder as if he didn't care much for princess Lina.

“Does he like to fight like that?” Ask Shou again.

The elder laughed a little, as if he remembered a funny incident in his past.

“Yes, there used to be a man who was very valiant and very skilled in swordplay. He trained every day, and the 5-year-old Lina was attracted to the man and his sword.

“Hey, do you want to teach me sword?” Ask princess Lina.

The big man turned his back, “eh, there's a princess. Sorry you said what, I'm seriously practicing.”

Princess Lina repeated her question.

“Daughter, are you sure? But sorry, I don't think I can.” The man scratched his head while smiling.

“Why, I'm a princess. The next leader in our clan is I know. So I should be able to use the sword.”

The man also seemed worried, indeed what he said was true. But he's too early to start.

Days passed, a week after that. Princess Lina kept asking the man to teach her sword. And because he always rejected her, finally princess Lina challenged him to a duel.

“Begin only, if I manage to defeat you, you should teach me sword!” Princess Lina unsheathed a special wooden sword for him, which was 2 times smaller in size than usual.

“But..” The man seemed doubtful.

“Are you afraid of me?” Princess Lina muttered arrogantly. He deliberately did that so that the man was provoked and wanted to duel with him.

“Then let's duel, if you refuse it means you're a coward.”

The man was finally ignited, after trying to patiently face the behavior of Princess Lina during this week, the emotions that he was carrying exploded instantly.

“Alright, I'll duel with you. Don't expect me to give you mercy!”

“Are you sure, a very skilled adult man with a sword, wants to fight a little boy with all his abilities. Especially here I am a woman.”

Even more upset, he really wanted to teach Lina a lesson.

They finally dueled at the training ground, the rules seemed fair enough. The man had to make princess Lina surrender, and princess Lina had to at least successfully attack once and hit the man's body.

Although in the rules it looks quite fair, but on the field of the match they are very clearly biased. Princess Lina could be knocked down in one small attack, while her little sword could not reach the man.

However, after hours, whether tens or hundreds of times Lina's daughter rose and fell again.She never said the word “MENYERAH” though.

The man seemed hesitant to continue the fight, however, princess Lina was still the successor of the Dark Elf clan.If she was anything because of the man, she would not be able to do anything.

“Princess, let's stop this duel!” Say the Man.

“Did you give up?” Ask Princess Lina. “then, you should teach me sword.

The man thought for a moment, but in the end he did not want to give up.

“No, we consider it a series. How, because you have not managed to attack me even though.” Advice from the man.

“I don't want to draw, and I don't want to lose, I'll swing my sword again, again and again, until it hits you. If you don't want to budge, how about we rematch tomorrow?”

The man finally accepted the request of Lina's daughter, he was amazed by the persistence of Lina's daughter, who would not give up, no matter what.
