Chapter 98 – Duel With Kasha (1)
We returned to the academy.
While I was waiting at the academy’s main gate, Kasha gathered her clan members, all of whom were riding huge beasts.
Karishu, riding a giant wolf, spoke in a voice full of worry.
“Hey. He said he was fighting with Kasha today. “She thought it would take years to prepare.”
“Preparations have already been completed.”
“What does that mean?”
“It’s literally like that.”
“Tsk tsk. “Once your bones are shattered, I’ll take you to church.”
Rin, the cat beast, and Libre, the dog beast, came riding a leopard and a bear, respectively.
“Zion. “I wish you good luck.”
“Zion~ I can accept it even if we don’t duel~ If you lose to Kasha, come to me~ Woof~”
“Hey! Zeon is mine!”
Kasha shouts at Libre’s words.
“Oh my~ Love~ Woof. This is my first time seeing Kasha like this~ Woof~”
“No. “It’s just like that.”
It feels like Kasha is being drawn into Libre’s laid-back and relaxed personality.
Kasha stretched out her hand to me.
“I’ll give you a ride, so hold my hand.”
“Yes! Sister Kasha!”
I held Kasha’s hand and climbed on my pet wolf, Harley.
“Guys! Let’s go! Kyahahahaha!”
“Hey~!!!”
“Hurray!! Let’s go!”
At Kasha’s command, the clan members shout and send their pets running.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
As the huge carnivores run at the same time, the street shakes as if there was an earthquake.
“Aaaaah! “It’s a beast-man biker gang!”
“You bastards! Don’t run all at once on the street!”
Although the shouts of angry people were heard around her, the Kasha Clan ran happily through the streets, lost in their own world.
.

.
Before we knew it, we had left Briseen City and arrived at a large, deserted plain.
“Guys! Let’s get off here!”
At Kasha’s command, the clan members stop their pets and come down to the ground, making a fuss.
“Hwiyuu~! It’s a duel between Kasha and Zeon!”
“Wow! Sounds fun!”
“Zion says it’s 10 weeks, so I’m betting 1 gold!”
“I get 1 gold every 5 weeks!”
“1 gold per death!”
‘Children…’
Hearing my clan members betting on how far behind I will get makes me angry.
“I’ll bet 2 gold that Zeon wins~”
“I bet Zeon wins with 2 gold~ Woof~”
I feel a little more at ease now that Lin and Libre are on my side.
Karish comes up to me and encourages me.
“Hey. “I’ll bet you 1 gold that you win regardless of whether you win or lose.”
“Thank you.”
“Even if you lose, you can try again later. Cheer up.”
Karish is a really loyal and good friend.
I spoke to Kasha.
“Sister. “I have two requests.”
“What is it?”
“I am not a warrior, but a wizard. Before the duel, please keep a sufficient distance and give me the first strike.”
“Good. What about the second?”
“Unlike beastmen, humans do not fight with only their bodies. “Can I use the magic tools I prepared?”
“That’s good too. “It’s a fair request, so of course I’ll grant it.”
I picked up Pooh’s shield and a random staff. Pooh’s shield vibrates in anticipation of the first battle.
“Guys! Create a space for a duel!! “Nobody interrupts until I say something!!”
At Kasha’s command, the beastmen widened their distance and stood in a circle, creating a wide space in the center.
Kasha and I stood at either end of the circle and looked at each other.
“Kyahahaha! Zeon! I never support duels, right? “I will make you feel my fear in my bones today!”
“I will never run away to get my sister!”
The surrounding prisoners cheer and jeer at my open confession.
“Zion is a real man!”
“Just throw it away!”
“Don’t cry after getting hit!!”
“Puhhehehe! “I’m not getting completely beaten up!”
Kwaaaaang
“Quiet!!!”
As Kasha stomped hard on the ground and screamed, the beasts suddenly closed their mouths and even their pets held their breath due to her overwhelming spirit. In an instant, the room becomes quiet and only Kasha and I exude our presence here.
After Kasha patted her neck and shoulders, she said with a lively tone.
“Zion. The duel begins now. Take the lead.”
Before taking the lead, I plan to talk to Kasha to get her mind into a certain state. From now on, acting and guts are the most important.
“Sister Kasha. “What do you think my abilities are?”
“What does that mean?”
“Let me change the question. “Do you think I’m an ordinary wizard?”
“Uh. You are a mind wizard. And mental magic doesn’t work on me.”
I held my stomach and burst into laughter.
“Tsk tsk. Ugh. Puhahahaha! Haha!!”
“What, what?”
Kasha is puzzled by my sudden transformation.
Haha. My sister said that mental magic doesn’t work. Then why did my sister get horny towards me? Why did the beastmen turn on me?”
“I don’t know either. Wait… You knew the reason!”
Roaring
Kasha is astonished and the beastmen mutter. It’s an expression that I never thought I would know about the reason for estrus. Actually, I don’t know, but I’m acting.
Haha! “All the prisoners here are already under the influence of my abilities.”
“You! “Did you take advantage of my heart?”
Kasha roared, her face turning bright red with anger.
“My feelings for my sister are real.”
“Then why are you talking like you’re in heat!!”
“For me. I have a unique ability to guide people’s unconsciousness in the direction I want. I can’t control this properly either. From the moment she first met her sister, she wanted to make her woman. As a result, I unconsciously manifested my abilities and made my sister and the rest of the clan horny.”
“Shit! Then, I came to like you while hanging out with you!”
“Sister. To be honest, I don’t know if the reason my sister likes me is that dating is fun or because of my abilities. I don’t even know why I have this ability. But! My love for my sister is real! “I will defeat my sister here and take her fair and square!!!”
Kasha shouted, clenching her fists and glaring.
“Then come! Show your will by defeating me! If you lose, I will carve such fear into your body that you will no longer be able to approach me!!”
Sigh
“Then let’s begin.”
I took a step forward with a very evil yet relaxed smile.
Flinch
Kasha is a little wary.
‘A seed of fear germinated in Kasha’s heart. Now it’s time to harvest.’
Kasha felt that Zeon, whom she had loved and thought was cute, had become something different. She was surprised by Zeon’s ability to influence the subconscious of others, but that wasn’t what mattered to her right now. Kasha felt the darkness and omnipotence of an endless abyss from Zeon’s smile. The composure of an overwhelmingly powerful person who can easily handle something like Kasha. It is not pure power or mana, but a decadent and vicious unknown ability whose source is unknown.
Kasha realized that she was shaking.
‘I’m shaking? ‘Is this Kashaga?’
Kasha believed that she was invulnerable to mental magic, but that belief was shattered as she was unconsciously manipulated by Zeon’s abilities without her knowledge. My mind has already been invaded once, and I have no idea what will happen next. Such unknown anxiety slowly began to surround Kasha.
And as belief in any emotion, such as love, friendship, anxiety, or fear, increases, the effectiveness of hypnotic suggestion also increases.
I told Kasha the hint I had made in advance.
“Kasha’s body becomes heavy.”
At that moment, Kasha felt a massive force of gravity pressing down on her entire body.
“Ugh…! What is this power!”
When it comes to strength, she was so powerful that not even Kasha, who was the best, could withstand it.
“Off! Aaaaa!!”
“Kasha’s body becomes heavier.”
Wow
In the end, Kasha couldn’t hold on and fell to her knees.
“I am Kasha! “Kkkk!”
Although Kasha somehow strengthened her legs and tried to get up.
“Kasha can’t move her legs.”
Wow
She suddenly lost control of her legs and fell to her knees again. Even when she signals to move her legs, she shows no strength at all, as if she is being held down by her scissors.
“Kasha can’t move her arms.”
Now she has even lost control of her arms.
Wow
Kasha loses her balance and falls to the floor.
“My sister is already completely under my influence.”
Jump, jump, jump
Zeon is approaching.
If she had been anxious before, now fear had taken over Kasha. Until now, no one has been able to topple Kasha, but today that premise was completely shattered. Even the surrounding beasts forget what to say and look at Zeon with awe and fear.
Kasha looked up at the approaching Zeon with her eyes full of fear.
“Uuuuu… Kwaaaaa… Who are you!”
“I am Zeon. My older sister must have been surprised that I, who was cute, had such amazing abilities. I will win this duel and take my sister completely. Now it’s checkmate.”
“Are you going to get me drunk?”
“Sister!!!”
As Zeon scolded, Kasha flinched.
“Sister. I love my sister. “If you hate me because I have unknown abilities, I will be hurt.”
“Ugh… That’s…”
Zion’s words also made sense. Kasha was torn between her love and the fear of the unknown.
‘If only I could give Zeon one hit…’
If I succeed in giving Zion a shot, I think this fear will disappear. In particular, Kasha’s pride could not tolerate her feeling of helplessness for the first time.
‘I am Kasha, the princess of the jungle! I will definitely be released from here!’
Kasha remembered the story of ancient beast warriors repelling the evil spirit’s mental magic with their spirited shouts.
The moment Zeon aims her staff at Kasha and is about to utter her last words.
“Wow!!!!”
Kasha woke up with a shout that shook the air.
“Kyahahaha! As expected, I was released because I shouted with spirit! Now it’s my turn!”
I was startled when Kasha jumped up, but she was more or less as expected. Even on Earth, there have been cases where thoroughly trained assassins or martial arts experts break the hint by shouting with spirit, so there is no reason not to call it Kasha. In this case, she just needs to hint again.
I took a step back and tried to make a hint.
“Kasha is…”
Paaaaang
But before I could finish speaking, Kasha was shot.
“Kyahahaha! Should I wait?”
In the blink of an eye, Kasha was right in front of me and threw her fist at me.
Kwaaaaa…
A blue, translucent shield came out from Pooh’s shield and blocked Kasha’s fist with a roar.
Blah blah blah
With one punch, the entire protective shield begins to crack.
Hehe! Do you think you can stop me with magic like this? Zeon! “You’re going to get scolded by me a lot!”
Kasha flexes the muscles of her entire body and throws her arms back, her fists filled with formidable power. If I get hit by her fist, I think I will be shattered along with her shield.
I quickly turned the random cube and threw it.
