Legends of Runeterra

"Click~!"

There was a slight sound of a door opening.

Li En looked back and met a pair of dark blue eyes.

"I am... um! It's you!?"

"Uh, this lady, have we met before?"

Li En pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth.

"No...Nothing, I was mistaken."

Fiona was a little surprised to meet the man from the cake shop again in such an occasion, but she would not forget her purpose and quickly adjusted her mentality.

"I am Fiona Laurent, the daughter of Sebastian Laurent. Sir, are you Li En?"

"Yes, please..."

"Mr. Li En, I hope to have a competition with you!"

Fiona, wearing a swordsman's uniform, placed her left hand on the hilt of the sword and her right hand on her heart, and bowed gracefully.

"Haha~! You should know that I am a guest invited by your father. Aren't you afraid that he will blame you?"

"I will apologize to you and my father later, but now, I hope to compete with you!"

The dark blue eyes stared at Li En closely, with determination in them.

"Interesting...Okay, I agree!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li En!"

Fiona's eyes lit up, and then she immediately stepped into the new duel arena.

"Mr. Li En, do you need to change into lighter clothes?"

"No, I'm fine this way."

"Ok."

Fiona nodded slightly.

Even though this plan was made a few days ago, Fiona was confident in her swordsmanship and did not ask her father or brother about Li En's strength.

Seeing Li En being so arrogant at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"For the sake of the cake, I'll be a little gentler for a while."

Fiona stayed on Li En's face for a few seconds and said silently in her heart.

Pulling out a dueling sword similar to a rapier from a shelf nearby, Li En walked into the dueling arena and stood five meters away from Fiona.

"So, shall we start now?"

"Okay, Mr. Li En, please be careful!"

"Hey~!"

Almost at the same time as the sound of the sword rang out, Fiona rushed to Li En.

Laurent's Heart Eye Sword - Breaking through the air.

If your strength does not reach a certain level, or you are too careless, you will be defeated by this move.

“Ding-dong~!”

The swords collided, and this swift and fierce attack was blocked by Li En.

'He's very strong. We can't fight him head-on!'

Feeling the recoil of the sword, Fiona looked at Li En's slender and well-proportioned figure, and her pupils shrank slightly.

The fighting style was adjusted instantly, and the steps changed from swift and powerful to elegant and agile.

Looking at Fiona circling around him like dancing, looking for flaws, Li En's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Although I'm a little unskilled, Miss Fiona, please appreciate it!"

"Shua~!"

"How could that be!?"

Looking at Li En who was attacking with the exact same moves, Fiona was surprised and quickly raised her sword.

“Swish~!”

Unlike Li En's blocking, Fiona, who knew she was not as strong as her opponent, used the blade of her sword to collide with him, sparks flew, and the power was removed by her.

"Very good technique. Mr. Li En has been able to learn 'Sky Breaking Slash' within a few days of his father's teaching. His talent is indeed excellent!"

"Haha~! Let's continue."

Li En smiled slightly, stretched out his left hand behind his back, and motioned the other party to continue.

"This is not a test, Mr. Li En, please be careful!"

"Shua~!"

“Ding-dong~!”

Accompanied by the music of swords clashing, a 'dance of duel' began at the Laurent family's training ground.

...

As early as the first time he learned the "Duel Etiquette", Li En took the opportunity to ask for Sebastian's sword.

Under the effect of the bond talent [Sword Soul], Li En, who touched the long sword, gained some of Sebastian's insights into the 'Laurent Heart Eye Sword'.

Now that he has a perfect opponent, Li En always maintains a physical fitness slightly better than Ona, and continues to practice and comprehend his moves.

The originally rigid and stereotyped moves are becoming more and more sophisticated and swift.

Under this suppression, Fiona also entered a strange state.

“Swish~swish~swish~!”

Fiona's sword stabbed faster and faster, and bits of cold light appeared around Li En.

The dark blue eyes looked directly at Li En, the excitement in them was like a dancing flame.

'That's it! That's it! ’

An inexplicable aura rose from Fiona.

As the opponent, Li En naturally noticed it. With the intention of helping the opponent, he swung the sword in his hand more fiercely.

"Shua~!"

'It's now! ’

Facing the attacking sword, Fiona not only did not fight back, but instead put the sword in front of her chest, struck a peculiar posture, with energy swirling all over her body.

"Ding~!"

The curved blade of the sword is like a longbow with a full charge.

"Shua~!"

The sword struck back with all the force generated by the previous collision.

"Crackling~!"

The floor shattered piece by piece, and the light golden sword energy rushed towards Li En with unparalleled momentum.

"careful!"

Fiona, awakened by the shock, shouted in panic, and rushed towards Li En at the same time, trying to catch up with the sword energy and push the other party away.

As Fiona's expression changed from horror to disbelief, Li En adopted the same stance and faced the sword energy.

“Ding~Shua~!”

“Puff~Pah~!”

The sword energy, more ferocious than before, passed by Fiona. Wherever it passed, whether it was the ground or the armored target, they were all torn into pieces by the riotous sword energy.

'How can it be! ? '

His mind was shaken, and the use of the unique skill "Heart Eye Knife" had already exhausted his physical strength.

Fiona's feet softened, and her cold and beautiful face fell straight towards the broken ground.

"Bang~!"

The expected pain did not come, instead I fell into a warm and solid embrace.

"Huh~! Miss Fiona, are you okay?"

Fiona suddenly raised her head and stared at Li En with her pale blue eyes.

"Only people from the Laurent family can use the 'Heart Eye Knife'. Who are you?!"

"Well, if the 'heart-eye knife' you mentioned refers to the move just now, I actually imitated it from you."

"imitate!?"

"Well, maybe it's my luck..."

"What are you kidding!?"

A cold shout interrupted Li En's words.

Looking at those eyes filled with tears, Li En was stunned for a moment.

"Please let me go!"

"Oh well."

Li En slowly let go of Fiona.

"Plop~!"

She was already exhausted and fell to the ground without any suspense.

Fiona supported herself on the ground with her hands and raised her body up little by little.

“Hoo~Hoo~Hoo~!”

After a few minutes of rest, Fiona picked up the sword and limped out of the training ground.

Li En stared at the other person quietly, without trying to stop him from doing anything.

...

"I'm sorry, Li En, some things happened and I was delayed for a while, so...what's going on? "

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sebastian, let me pay for the maintenance of the training ground!"
