The Neglected Princess

18. Swing Training

A week later. Olivia returned to the academy. This time he was interested in taking a sword class, which was mostly followed by boys his age. While the girls who did not take the sword class, became spectators.

After changing into a workout outfit, Olivia joins her friends to hear instructions and explanations from their teacher. The teacher was surprised when he saw a female student following his class. Though all female students have no interest in participating in sword training, archery or anything else that requires moving their physiques.

"What's your name, Lady?" ask the teacher.

"Olivia Hubbert" replied Olivia.

"Olivia Hubbert? Turns out she's Duke Hubbert's daughter. Hmm ... turns out he is the one who is rumored to have the most in this academy?" inner teacher guide.

"Alright, Lady. Before class starts. I want to say something. In my class, there is no such thing as fooling around. We're going to seriously train. Do you guys understand? If anyone fails to take part in training, please sit in the backseat and watch the training" the teacher said.

It turned out that nothing wavered and undoed the intention to practice. And the training began. Start with light movements for heating.

For about thirty minutes they practiced. The teacher called out two names and asked two of his students for a duel. One by one the names were called, until it was Olivia's turn.

Olivia walked into the arena and stood before her opponent, named Ignatius. Seeing that his opponent was a woman, Ignatius asked for an opponent's replacement for the guidance teacher.

"Professor, can I replace the opponent?" asked Ignatius to look at his tutor.

"Yes? what's the matter, Ignasius?" ask the teacher.

"How can I fight girls. Once I swing the sword, fearing that this child will fall." said Ignatius arrogantly.

Olivia was shocked, "Well, you underestimated me blatantly. I wonder how well you can swing your sword, Young Master. Just so you know, women can also hold swords." Olivia said.

"You're offended by my words, it turns out. I'm talking like this out of pity on you, Lady." Ignatius.

"I don't need your mercy" said Olivia staring intently.

"Curtain! This girl just pisses me off. Wait I'm beating you up. You'll cry blood," Ignatius' inner rage.

Ignatius looked at his tutor, "Professor. I broke the intention. I'm going to fight Olivia. Please begin" said Ignatius.

"Well, you two are ready? one, two, three .. The fight starts," said the teacher.

Olivia clasped the wooden sword tightly in her hand, as did Ignatius. They stared at each other sharply.

"Because you're a woman. You can attack me first" said Ignatius.

"If I act like this. I definitely look cool in the eyes of the other students and the professor, right? Hahaha .. She is just a weak woman, who can't be anything. What if he has abundant mana? can he control and use mana well?" inner Ignatius.

"Once again he underestimated me. You son of a bitch. I'll teach you a lesson, "inner Olivia.

"Oh, with pleasure." replied Olivia who immediately ran to attack Ignatius.

Ignatius' eyes widened, Olivia's movements so quickly. And as their wooden swords clashed, Ignatius felt a strong pressure pushing him.

"W-what's this. He was very strong, "inner Ignatius.

"Can you just avoid it?" ask Ignanius.

Olivie smiled, "It's up to you to think what. I don't care" he answered.

Ignatius attacked, and the attack was successful in the field of Olivia. All the movements of Ignatius were clearly read by Olivia. He only looked at the gap while resisting the attack. And when the crack appeared, with one strike Olivia managed to make the wooden sword Ignatius was holding slip from his grasp and stick it on the ground.

"Never underestimate someone, Young Master" said Olivia staring coldly at Ignasius.

Ignatius frowned, "Ah, shit! I might lose to this girl" Ignatius.

"Wuahhhw .... "

"See that. Olivia won."

"He's cool."

Guru prmbimbing then announced the winner. Olivia turned around and brought her sword to sit down. And another match was made. One by one the winners were announced and finally the first round of fighting was over. The supervising teacher gave the istirshat ten minutes, then the second round match began.

***

Ten minutes later. The break time is over. And the second round match begins. This time the winners were divided into four groups. Each group is divided in two. Each group will fight against the other. Who first managed to make the opponent's sword fall, then he was the winner. And the final winner will fight again until the winner is left.

The fight begins, until Olivia wins the fight. He defeated all his opponents and became the only winner. The guidance teacher was stunned to see Olivia's ability and agility. Olivia did not even harm her opponent, and only dropped the swords of her opponents.

Some of Olivia's opponents accept their defeat and congratulate Olivia, as well as praise. However, several other children hooked Olivia. He said Olivia must have cheated. They did not want to admit and accept their defeat, but instead mocked Olivia who did not. However, their ridicule could not just shake Olivia. Olivia replied to their ridicule with poignant words.

"Do you guys know? what makes you so easy to fall. It's because you guys aren't training hard and can only scorn others. Take care of your speech and attitude. If you do not accept my victory, I will gladly accept your challenge. But you need to remember. I don't want to fight weak kids can't do anything like you. Do you understand?" said Olivia.

Olivia turned around and left immediately. He is lazy to argue with annoying children who only know to make trouble.

The children who heard Olivia's spicy words were getting furious. They are even determined to take revenge on Olivia so that Olivia is deterred and knows herself.

In the classroom. Olivia sat next to Chloe. Olivia finished changing into a uniform, as ten minutes to go would begin history class.

"So it was really cool" Chloe said.

"really? I think it's normal. Not so interesting" replied Olivia.

"What is uninteresting. From the beginning look to the end, I was greatly amazed at your toughness. You managed to throw more than ten swords and there were several swords that broke. The sword class is coming, I'm going to come and learn from you" Chloe said.

Olivia was surprised, "Well, I'd love it if you wanted to come along. Honestly, I felt awkward because I was the only girl among so many boys. However, I must try to do my best." Olivia.

Olivia and Chloe talk. They were talking about sword training. Chloe with high spirits and sincere pleas, asked Olivia to teach her not to be awkward while doing the training.
