Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 896: Powerful legs (3)

When it was all over and the dust settled, Klein found that he had flown outside of the ring.

He had landed face first on the ground, so it made him look quite awkward, but he wasn't in the mood to care about that.

The look on Klein's face was almost as if he was trying to figure out what just happened.

What happened was that I had used his own force against him.

I knew that when it came to a sumo match, the most important thing was keeping one's center of balance. The most important part of that was making sure to keep one's legs rooted to the ground.

So the key was having strong legs.

Klein's mistake was charging forward with all his might and offsetting his center of balance, which made it easy for me to use his own power against him.

Just with a little bit of strength, I was able to use his own strength to send him flying like this. Since he had fallen outside of the ring, I let out a sigh of relief and relaxed, but it didn't seem like he was done yet.

When he came back to his senses, Klein immediately came back into the ring and said, "Your majesty, it's not over yet! You caught me off guard, that was it! I want to go again!"

It seemed like he was quite the sore loser, but that wasn't the point right now.

With an awkward smile, I raised my hand to stop him as I said, "That's not the point here, we were just giving a demonstration of how it works."

Though I said this, it didn't seem like he wanted to stop.

Eventually, he did stop asking for a rematch since everyone was watching, but I could tell that he wanted another chance with the way that he looked at me.

With a cough to calm myself down, I turned back to Ariel and Erina to say, "As you can see, this is a match where you try to push your opponents out of the ring. You're not allowed to punch or hit, it's just a match of strength to see who can push one's opponent out of the ring."

After a pause, I added, "Oh, right, you're allowed to slap since that's considered pushing, so feel free to do that."

It didn't seem like there was anything else that I was missing when it came to the rules, so I had Ariel and Erina come over.

As they did, I leaned in closer to Ariel to whisper something.

"The key to winning is all about one's legs. The stronger one's legs are, the better that they can keep their center of balance and avoid being pushed out of the ring. So this should be a good test of your legs."

Ariel looked at me with a surprised look before suddenly revealing a smile.

I had seen the confused look that she had when I explained the rules.

No, even before that, I had seen the confused look that was on her face when she heard that I wanted her to spar with this knight.

This was supposed to be a test of her leg strength, not a sparring session.

But since she knew that this was indeed a test of leg strength, she was filled with confidence. Even though she was facing one of the royal guards, it didn't seem like she was worried at all.

As they went over to the lines like Klein and I had been standing at, Klein came over and said, "This really is an interesting method of sparring. I think that we might be able to implement it into our training as part of our close range combat training."

It seemed that he had forgotten about his loss against me and he was thinking about how effective this could be as a training method.

As expected of the captain of the royal guards.

Or that was what I wanted to think of him...

"Your majesty, you must join our training session again once we've properly implemented this sparring method." The way that Klein looked at me when he said this made it very clear that he had ulterior motives.

It wasn't hard to guess what he was thinking.

He wanted a chance to take revenge for that loss.

Well, it wasn't as if this was a bad thing for me since it would mean that I would be able to get closer to the royal guards in the future.

Loyalty wasn't something that one should just expect, it was something that had to be earned.

Only by getting closer to the royal guards would I be able to earn their loyalty.

Once Ariel and Erina were in position, the two of them suddenly revealed different expressions.

It seemed like both of them were getting into this.

Both of them looked like they were going to take this very seriously as they just stared into each other's eyes.

The way that they stared at each other was almost as if they were scoping each other out.

It was like they were rivals who were keeping track of each other's every movement. Though it did look weird for those that were watching them stand there in silence like this. After a long silence, Erina was the first one to move.

She had seen many different openings that she could exploit, but she had been carefully thinking of her moves since she didn't want a repeat of what happened with Klein.

In her heart, she had to thank the captain for taking the leap for her so she knew what mistakes not to make.

So instead of charging forward with all her might, Erina lowered her body before moving forward.

She made sure to keep her feet firmly planted on the ground while charging forward to push Ariel out of the ring.

Ariel saw this and didn't hesitate to lower her body just like Erina did to match her pushing

motion.

Now it seemed like it was a contest of who was stronger.
