<h4>Chapter 60: Is it really an internship? (3) (1)</h4>


    .


    Using the Law Rune, Shin Yuna managed to narrowly avoid three daggers, but she couldn’t dodge thest dagger aimed at her thigh.


    “Ugh…”


    Regrettably, that dagger was the winner’s roulette.


    It was an attack imbued with magic.


    I didn’t miss that opening and rushed towards her with my sword in hand.


    A swift thrust with the [Wave Sword Technique].


    Shing-ga-!!


    Even in her bewildered state, Shin Yuna didn’t lose focus and blocked my sword with her knuckles.


    After blocking my thrust with her knuckled fist.


    She attempted to move her body again.


    A fighting technique utilizing swift movements.


    Simr to before.


    ‘Will I be defeated again?’


    This time, I wasn’tcent.


    Using the [Wave Sword Technique], I thrust my sword while preparing to draw in magic power.


    ‘I also need to use magic runes.’


    Until now, I had only used magic attacks when exploring dungeons alone, but now I couldn’t afford to hold back.


    The opponent was skilled in closebat, and the weakest point for closebatants was always magic attacks.


    I had decided not to conceal my abilities in this duel.


    If I couldn’t gain recognition here, there wasn’t much to gain from the <Judgment of Fire> internship.


    Winning this duel was my top priority for now.


    Whoosh- Whoosh-!!


    mes flickered at the tip of my sword.


    [Fiery mes].


    While not a skill-enhanced magic, it was an obvious magic attack.


    The rough mes leapt from the sword and knuckles, reaching Shin Yuna’s wrist, causing damage.


    Even though I didn’t know how resistant Shin Yuna was to fire, my [Fiery mes], now at Level 5, wasn’t something to be easily ignored.


    “What…?!”


    Surprised, Shin Yuna quickly tried to move away from me.


    “Not yet!”


    No way.


    I only needed to not give her an opportunity to draw her knuckles out like before.


    I maintained my stance, revealing the intricacies of the [Water Sword Technique].


    Fluid sword strikes, flowing like water.


    And the derivative skill of [Sword], [Combo].


    Transitioning from thrusts to shes, my movements were light, and [Combo] cleanly followed up with three sessive shes.


    ‘Oh. What a shame.’


    Unfortunately, none of them became effective hits.


    Shin Yuna’s high agility and her use of Law Runes bought her time to escape my sword strikes.


    However, she managed to deflect the two shes beneath the thigh where the dagger had struck earlier.


    “Haah… Haah…”


    Shin Yuna, who had distanced herself for a while, breathed heavily.


    Then she looked at me with eyes filled with disbelief.


    “You, what on earth…”


    “I told you, you talk too much.”


    I preemptively blocked Shin Yuna’s attempt to initiate conversation.


    Three daggers extended from my hand.


    The throwing technique, hurling the daggers she had avoided earlier, was executed immediately.


    Due to cooldown and limited quantity, I couldn’t use [Quarter Knives] again, but this throwing technique alone was enough to trouble her.


    A relentless barrage of attacks.


    If she doesn’t get angry at this, she’s a saint.


    ‘It hit.’


    As I expected.


    Shin Yuna, annoyed, avoided and deflected the daggers.


    Honestly, I wanted to make it more bothersome for her by using [Bow] as well, but using an unskilled weapon would only put me at a disadvantage.


    After the barrage of attacks came to an end.


    Shin Yuna removed her knuckles for a moment and spoke to me.


    “You’re quite full of tricks.”


    “Removing knuckles? Should I consider that a concession?”


    “…You’re noisy.”


    Shin Yuna retorted with a growl and deeply pressed her right hand against her pierced thigh.


    And something strange happened.


    A faint green light flowed from her hand, and it started to heal the ces pierced by my sword and dagger.


    The bleeding stopped, and the wounds began to heal.


    A familiar sight for me, someone ustomed to battles in thebat category.


    It was the application of the Recovery Rune [Heal].


    “…Pdin?”


    “Call me a Duel-Priest?”


    “You’re quite full of tricks.”


    “Why do you keep imitating me…”


    Shin Yuna, who was exuding a powerful aura, couldn’t continue her sentence.


    From the moment she removed her knuckles.


    I had been preparing [Ruthless Charge] using [Sprint].


    It seems that Shin Yuna is a Multi-Holderbining the Recovery and Warrior categories.


    But…


    ‘If I strike before you heal, it’s over, right?’


    I wasn’t as careless as before.


    I rushed in with full speed, colliding with Shin Yuna.


    She hadn’t even finished healing.


    “Why… You’ve been talking since earlier…!!”


    A sardonicugh escaped me at her bewildered words.


    Why would you need to talk during a duel?


    The person who talks while fighting is a fool.
