I Became a Gladiator in the World of Gender Reversal

80 – Climbing-15

Once the tension was completely released, it took more energy than expected to regain it.

“Whoa…”

There were few onlookers. Except for a few nobles who staked their lives on northern trade, and a young lady who wants to see male gladiator fights again.

It was a small gladiatorium, but there were not enough people to fill all the seats in it.

“Don’t be too nervous! I’m sure you can do well!”

“…Thank you.”

Oksana, who wielded her sword and shield excitedly, was preparing for a sword fight with her relaxed face as if this was her home.

“It’s a little disappointing that you can’t use the weapon you used to use, but this is enough! I’ll show you the skills of the northern warrior!

“Anyway, there’s no need to sharpen a perfectly fine sword.”

“No, that’s not it… I found a weapon similar to that, but they said it was hard to get and couldn’t be used for sword fighting!”

“Yes? That can’t be the case… Can I take a look?”

There was still some time left for the sword fight to begin.

Anyway, winning or losing was not an important battle. If possible, the picture would live better if I lost.

The people of the Empire, too, will not have their pride hurt by the defeat of a male gladiator who is not an official knight.

From the point of view of the Northern Kingdom, of course, it was better for Oksana to win. If the strength and strength of men is not very different from here, then there would be no need to make things that would make your face red.

Of course, I didn’t think I was in a position to choose that.

His body is small, but he must be a warrior with several times, or even dozens of times more experience than me, based on his experience with swordsmanship alone.

Still, if you’re going to fight, it’s better to fight in the best condition. If she’s not familiar with a sword and shield, she doesn’t need to change her weapon.

“Wait a minute… Sister! Show me my weapon!”

“Oksana! This is an empire, and we are officially…. What can you say?”

“That… Uh, sorry.”

“No. My child is causing too much trouble. Thank you for accepting everything… Please wait a moment.”

Before long, envoys from the north brought her sword.

Two people, each holding the blade part and the handle part.

“…Ah?”

“A weapon of that size feels good in the hand. If you swing it loosely and get hit, the monster’s body will be smashed, but that’s also a great pleasure, right?”

I nodded my head with difficulty, unable to keep my mouth shut.

“I think so… I guess.”

Actually, it was a bit too large to be called a sword in the normal sense.

Just by adjusting the angle and dropping it in the air, it was enough to split a person’s head.

“Excuse me, but I think I’ll be dragged around by the sword…”

“I hear that a lot, but don’t worry!”

Somehow, it seemed that I had become a different person from the Oksana I thought of.

That sword was not suitable for a small warrior like Oksana to wield, no, it was not very suitable for a human to wield.

“That must be a bit difficult.”

“Is that so…”

It is also difficult to find a similarly sized weapon. Considering the length, it is not fair, and above all, safety cannot be guaranteed.

With that kind of mass and impact, the poor protection magic would literally shatter and cause irreparable damage to my organs.

“Still, I’m confident!”

“Yes. Let’s try it.”

After she wiped her wry smile from her mouth, she prepared herself to fight her.

Even though he was unexpectedly strong, he had no intention of giving up the fight.

As I thought before, winning or losing is not important. It was enough to show a fight with no regrets in a cool way.

There was no moderator. The moment our eyes met each other, we realized that we were ready to fight.

Because of her height difference, I couldn’t help but look down at her.

“I’ll go first! With love!”

“Love… Lee!”

Oksana’s love is heavy. She’s so heavy that I wonder if she’ll break anywhere if she’s not blocked by a shield.

I felt a crushing pain from her teeth that were shaken by her impact.

“Wow, I blocked this! Awesome, great! Awesome!”

“No, what…”

It wasn’t even that she wielded it with all her might. It was a little playful, stabbing attack with ‘slightly’ force while maintaining a stable posture in preparation for my counterattack or evasion.

Blocked that. According to common sense, a chance should come to me.

Strong. It didn’t make her taller, and I was still looking down at Oksana, but I just didn’t feel that something was superior to me that much.

During the meal, she was misunderstanding something because of her behavior. Not like a cat

Crouching on all fours, it is a tiger preparing to tear my neck.

It is a beast that can break my bones simply by swinging its front paws.

I didn’t think that this precious shield would break easily, but my ‘relatively’ fragile body might be crushed in an instant.

It felt different, but I felt like I could understand why the other gladiators were reluctant to block my sword with a shield.

Race. No, races are different, of course, but it seemed that there was something different from her in the species unit beyond humans.

“Really… The best!”

Even in the midst of that, seeing Oksana’s bright smile, she couldn’t help but laugh.

However, it can’t go on like this.

“Evan?”

“I’ll try my best.”

Her You don’t have to worry about her. In the first place, I am not an opponent who can inflict damage with my clumsy sword and insufficient power.

Oksana has a crush on me, but she has a crush on the ‘male gladiator’.

She’s not even a match for her, ‘You’re a man, do you do this?’ Her crush on her impression of being called.

She couldn’t agree to that.

I have to be strong as myself. I had no intention of attaching multiple clues.

She glared at her, holding her sword back.

“Continue.”

The doubts on Oksana’s face turned into unbearable happiness.

“Of course!”

She ran towards me.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening to my unreasonable request.”

“I… Any kid of that age can do that anytime. I’m glad you’re happy.”

Iris’ patience has reached its limit.

Voice, look, expression. She couldn’t hide anything, and now she couldn’t even properly control the words that flowed out of her mouth.

It didn’t matter if I refused. There was no reason to capture Evan’s shining figure in her eyes.

However, that made her very ugly.

It was too ugly to have feelings of jealousy for a woman who approached Logan.

Trying to interfere with her meeting with Oksana, who can’t even be called a romantic relationship, against Evan, who has nothing to do with her, let alone her.

She has gone beyond the limit of her ugliness that she can bear. Iris, unable to admit that feeling, approved the sword fight with her trembling mouth.

Even as she watched it, she didn’t think anything out of the ordinary was going to happen.

The skill gap is too big.

“Our Oksana won’t hurt Evan, right?”

“Don’t worry. Evan is a decent fighter. Had she been a woman, she might have written a letter of recommendation to the Templars.”

“Is that enough?”

“I’m not wielding a greatsword, and I won’t be seriously hurt by a sword of that size.”

It was all true. However, the opponent was bad.

One-on-one, there were not many knights of the empire who could fight and defeat the warriors of the north.

The empire’s best knights, who freely use mana, spoke a little differently, but there weren’t many of them.

To the northern warriors, ‘they are strong, isn’t the empire strong?’ Because it was small enough to instill an awareness of it.

Oksana was a northern princess. She descended from a royal family that was constantly mixed with male blood, a rare find in the north where men were scarce.

Traditionally, the King of the North was the strongest warrior. Although it is a concept that has faded a bit in modern times, the tradition that has been built up for hundreds of years has not disappeared anywhere.

“That’s the northern sword…”

Even though she was holding a sword that was much smaller than her usual one, her momentum didn’t fade.

“Did I tell you last time I came. How strong is our Oksana.”

“Yes. I heard.”

Alexandra also had warrior blood flowing, and he would request sparring with the knights of the empire who seemed suitable.

The result was beyond imagination.

She looked like a timid gentleman, because she smashed the knights of the empire with unbelievable skills.

And in the meantime, she was talking about how strong her own brother was.

‘Strength is strong, but I’m used to this much because I fought a lot with my younger brother.’

‘Sufficiently fast, but a bit slow compared to my brother.’

And even Alexandra was said to be nothing more than a new recruit who had just grabbed a sword compared to her younger brother.

“Isn’t it difficult? Moving with Oksana Yang…”

“Well, even if he looks like that, he’s not really a kid. He’s kind by nature, so if you persuade him well with words, he’ll often listen.”

Alexandra looked at Oksana holding the sword without a second doubt.

“Although it’s a bit dangerous that even if we all rush at it, we can’t stop it by force.”

That Oksana ran at Evan standing on top of the ring.
