I’ve Reincarnated And I’m OP! - Chapter 9

Kurotsu Shel, I challenge you to a duel for the hand of my sister-Kasumi.

I just said those words and everyone stared at me in complete shock, my two brothers were wide-eyed and my mother was the same, unlike the others Lala although she looked surprised, you could also see a bit of hope on her face.

What are you saying Kasumi ?! – Mother.

From what I understand, a person can mourn for a valuable object, right? So why not mourn my sister’s hand? What do you say, Kurotsu Shel, you accept the duel-Kasumi.

I looked directly at Kurotsu saying that, he got up from his seat slowly and stared at me.

I don’t accept-Kurotsu.

(As I thought, I’ll have to use plan B, tease).

Wow, that’s wrong, I think it’s a shame that the great Kurotsu Shel, head of a noble family of a great lineage, refused a duel against a nobler lower than him, that’s a bit disgraceful for a family of great lineage like that -Kasumi.

Although he looked calm, he was clenching his fists implying his anger, I smiled for that, apparently the plan was working better than I thought, for a noble of high lineage that someone inferior in nobility insults them is something unacceptable for them .

On the other hand, my brothers and mother were pale since, according to them, I, the weakest of the family, said those things to a noble of high lineage and to his House.

And I wanted to test the strength of the great Kurotsu Shel, but it will not be possible, how bad it will be that he is known among the society of nobles that he rejected a duel with someone inferior, perhaps he is known by the noble with fear to the duels from now on-Kasumi.

I told him all that in a relaxed way at first, but I finished saying them with a very cold tone so that it would cause more effect on him, and apparently they were working since this time he looked annoyed, on the other hand, my family was in a complete shock.

What will he do? That rumor will spread very quickly and I don’t think his family will like him, they will lose that “prestige” that they have as noblemen of high lineage …. Anyway, since he’s afraid I’m retiring , bye-Kasumi.

I turned around turning my back to everyone and waving my hand as a sign of farewell, because of how things were going I was very sure that Kurotsu would react soon.

WHO DO YOU THINK TO SPEAK THAT WAY TO MY FAMILY AND MY PERSON! -Kurotsu.

Hearing those words I couldn’t help but have a mocking smile on my face, it was just as I had planned.

(Hahahaha quiet round).

Hey? I only told the reality, it is not my fault that you are afraid of a simple duel-Kasumi.

I didn’t think it would take that long to fall, but in the end I managed to make him fall, the reason why he refused the first time to duel was probably because he already had Lala, so it would be a waste of time to duel for something that was already in his power.

At my words Kurotsu got angrier than he already was, he looked like a wild animal ready to attack.

I can’t let a trash like you insult me, you will regret what you said, I will accept the duel if you give me something other than your simple sister! -Kurotsu.

And what do you want? -Kasumi.

Your House-Kurotsu.

I think that is very high, what would I get in return if I win? -Kasumi.

Apart from eliminating the arranged marriage I will give you a thousand gold coins if you win-Kurotsu.

A thousand gold coins for a House? It is not a very reasonable price, let it be five thousand and we do the duel-Kasumi.

Five thousand, you’re crazy, I don’t accept-Kurotsu.

It seems that his family does not have as many resources as he thought, that bad-Kasumi.

Saying those words Kurotsu became more upset than he already was and finally took the bait.

I will not let you continue to speak ill of my family, he accepted the duel, trash-kurotsu

Well, the duel will be when the noon bells ring-Kasumi.

I’ll go for my sword-Kurotsu.

Without further ado, he withdrew, for the noon chimes to ring, there were approximately twenty minutes to go, therefore, he had plenty of time to prepare; When Kurotsu left, my family was silent for a moment, I was going to withdraw to my room but before I did, they started talking.

What did you just do? bet the House and Lala’s hand for five thousand gold coins, are you crazy? -Mother.

We’re going to lose everything because of you-Lux.

We’ll be left with nothing-Berens.

Now calm down, you really think that I was going to let that noble garbage take my sister to be her toy, did you consider letting your own family member suffer and be contaminated by that garbage?, Because on my part I would even fight a little so that it wouldn’t happen-Kasumi.

With those words they were silent, everyone wanted to speak, but they did not know what to say, they had to accept it, I was right.

Well, there is still a little time for the duel to start so I’m going to get my sword, until the duel-Kasumi.

I was already retreating when something stopped me, I turned around and found Lala who was grabbing me by my shirt.

K-Kasumi, g-thank you-Lala.

Lala had the face of a very shy girl, she looked cute, too, I put my hands on her shoulders which caused her to shudder a little.

Although you never loved me I never hated you, I hope we get along after all this-Kasumi.

With that said I turned around and without saying anything else I went to my room, in the room I first created an iron sword but after pressing a little its blade it shattered revealing its poor quality, going from iron I created another sword with steel, but like the previous one, it fell apart in a very easy way, for the third attempt I created one of Mithril, at first I did not want to make it of Mithril since that was not a very cheap material and the safest thing was that my family would ask me where I got this sword from, so to prevent the sword from looking too expensive I made it look a bit old, that way if they asked the origin of the sword I would simply answer that I had bought it in the market.

Now to the duel-Kasumi.

………….. .

({Yawn} how boring).

It was almost time for the duel and Kurotsu did not appear, because I had nothing else to do I went to the back of the mansion where the duel would take place, but it was almost time for the duel and Kurotsu did not appear nowhere.

This is boring-Kasumi.

I know, by the way Kasumi And where did you get that sword from? -Lux.

I bought it at the market-Kasumi.

It looks old and weak, that sword will break easily-Berens.

Although it looks weak, this sword is strong, I have used it for practice duels in the city-Kasumi.

After chatting a bit with my brothers, Kurotsu was finally present, he was wearing his usual shining armor and he also had a beautiful sword on his waist, I analyzed said sword with State since the ability also allows me to see the State of the objects According to the State Information, Kurotsu’s sword was made of Mithril and Steel, a very good combination for the creation of a resistant sword.

Unlike the previous time, Kurotsu was accompanied by a butler of a slightly advanced age, both of them approached us and the butler stayed next to my mother and sister, while Kurotsu walked until he was in the center of the courtyard, with Kurotsu already present I moved towards my place as well, which was in front of Kurotsu, we both looked at each other’s faces although on my part I was relaxed since this was going to be like a walk in the park, for me, but for Kurotsu the opposite .

You will pay for your words against my House, I ….- Kurotsu.

Blah blah blah blah, I’m tired of that, just wait for the duel and that’s it-Kasumi.

With that said he kept silent, although he looked very annoyed, it was only a matter of minutes before the chimes were finally heard.

Tonn tonn tonn tonn.

By the time the last chime finished, it was only a matter of seconds for Kurotsu to rush towards me with his sword raised, I could slowly watch how Kurotsu moved to my location, at first I thought that he would be a little faster due to at his level but from what I noticed and from the statistics that I observed in his state he was moving slow compared to my speed; I saved all the comparison thoughts for later and focused on what was happening at the time.

I relaxed and simply put my sword to the front to stop Kurotsu’s attack, when both swords collided, some sparks flew from the blow of the metal, Kurotsu looked surprised when he noticed that he had been able to stop his attack and because of that he fell back a little.

I thought you wouldn’t take a hit, but you seem to be stronger than you appear-Kurotsu.

Although they were flattering words due to the tone of you I use to say them they sounded like a mockery; My family upon hearing Kurotsu’s words and seeing that I was able to stop his attack looked at each other in surprise, when I noticed that I realized that I could no longer keep my strength a secret.

Ehhh Isn’t it that the great Kurotsu Shel is weaker than I thought? -Kasumi.

I said those words with a very mocking tone which had an effect on Kurotsu, he stopped his mocking attitude and now he looked very annoyed, he tightly grasped his sword with both hands and launched himself against me, just like the previous time. I raised my sword horizontally and stopped the attack that this time was much stronger than the previous time.

I didn’t want to kill you, but you don’t leave me a choice-Kurotsu.

Less talk and more fight-Kasumi.

Damn !!! – Kurotsu.

On that occasion he was upset and started cutting me at a very fast speed but due to my speed his attacks were very predictable and I easily stopped or deflected each one of them, during the whole time that I was defending myself from Kurotsu’s attacks. my family looked at each other in shock, as if they couldn’t believe what they were looking at and it was no wonder since the “weakest” member of them was fighting with someone far superior to all of them and was not losing at all; after continuously fighting for a few minutes Kurotsu stopped and took his distance from me.

If you are just defending yourself you will never win-Kurotsu.

If you say so, get ready then-Kasumi.

For some reason Kurotsu looked happy when I told him that, I didn’t pay much attention to that and just ran towards Kurotsu who also did the same with the difference that before he took five steps I was already in front of him, say A vertical cut towards Kurotsu to which he put his sword to defend himself but because he used a little more force in the attack, Kurotsu could not resist it and caused him to fall on his back, releasing his sword at the same time.

Kurotsu froze for a moment and tried to grab the sword from him, but before he did I put my right foot on it and put the tip of my sword on his neck.

I have won-Kasumi.

The whole place was completely silent, the silence was at such a level that you could even hear the singing of some birds that flew through the place, my brothers and mother were astonished at what was developed just like the butler who came with Kurotsu and some maids who were in the place, Kurotsu on the other hand looked tired.

Well since I’ve won, my sister stays and if you don’t continue to hinder us I won’t say anything about what happened here, so don’t ever bother our family again, okay! -Kasumi.

I said those words with as much superiority as possible to make it feel intimidating and from the way Kurotsu looked at himself it was obvious that it had worked, but not only was Kurotsu terrified, from the edge of my sight I noticed that my brothers and mother were in fear.

Give over the five thousand gold to my mother-Kasumi.

…..- Kurotsu.

For some reason Kurotsu didn’t say anything and just slowly nodded his head to him, I withdrew my sword from Kurotsu’s neck and walked towards the mansion while he waved me off with my hand.

(How strange they all acted).

With that thought I entered the mansion and walked to my room to continue reading about magic.
