A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 193



Episode 193

Valhalla the continent’s greatest knight training institution and one of Atlas’ landmarks.

After joining Valhalla Reyna Draker was adjusting to a new culture different from that of the Academy.

Plus Reina has been having a lot of troubles lately.

She stared intently at the cute devil bear patterned box in front of her.

“….”

The second son of the Roswell family. It was a gift from the man known as the Durban of Tragedy at the Academy.

Reina took out the sword she had on her waist and cut down the cutely patterned box.

Crunch-

The cute devil bear doll that was inside the box was torn in half with stuffing spilling out.

Reina said looking down.

“Throw it away.”

One of the students from the Turun family who was lying down next to Reina went out carrying a box that was split in half.

It was at that moment that Reina was shaking her head and heading towards the training ground.

The woman who was watching her from the side clicked her tongue and said.

“Raina if you keep doing that you won’t be able to get married later.”

Olga was a cadet who entered Valhalla together with Reina and was five years older than her.

She was the daughter of the Argo family a powerful family that ran a shipping company in the port city of Jason.

He was an unusual person who despite being from a merchant family rather than a warrior family decided to become a knight and received knight training on his own and entered Valhalla.

Reina spoke to Olga in a firm voice.

“I have no intention of getting married.”

“That’s what you think. I don’t think the family thinks that way.”

Reina shook her head at Olga’s words.

“I have been given the name of Draker so there is no reason for me to be forced into marriage by the Turn family.”

But she knew too.

That someday she too will have to marry someone and that someone will most likely be decided by agreement between the families.

‘Even so it is not a complete disaster.’

Olga looked at Reina who was making an impression and smiled bashfully as if she found it amusing.

“It’s not a bad deal for the Roswell family. Durban… is a bit lacking but I don’t think he’d cause trouble or anything like that with the family.”

“If it’s so good Olga should take it.”

“I can’t. I already have a partner.”

Her fiancé was none other than Edward Siemens the second son of the Siemens family.

Although she said it in a calm voice Reina knew better than anyone that Olga was the one who wanted to escape the fate that her family had imposed on her.

Reina said to Olga.

“When Olga’s irritation gets the best of her sparring is the answer.”

“…Something feels strange. Anyway are you saying we should go sparring?”

It was when Reina and Olga were about to go to the training ground together.

A servant came up to her and whispered. Reina was startled when she heard the servant’s words.

“What? Zeke Draker?”

* * *

A Southern restaurant located inside Valhalla. A place I had previously eaten with Diego.

Although Zeke wasn’t particularly fond of Southern food he strangely remembered the food here even after graduating from Valhalla.

As the food was about to arrive Reina appeared in the restaurant.

Kookung!

A dozen or so guys in black uniforms followed behind Reina.

As Reina entered the restaurant they waited outside in a straight line.

Zeke clicked his tongue at the sight.

‘Even after coming to Valhalla… the Turun family remains the same.’

Reina found Zeke and sat down across from him.

“It’s been a while Zeke Draker.”

“Okay it’s been a while Reina.”

Reina was slightly taken aback by Zeke’s reaction who greeted her in a friendlier voice than she had expected.

She steeled herself and asked Zeke.

“What is going on here?”

Zeke said while looking at Reina like that.

“Let’s eat first. Have you tried the food here?”

Reina shook her head.

Zig pushed the hot Southern food that had just come out towards Reina.

“Try it. The food here is pretty good.”

Reina looked at him with a wary look as she saw Zig suddenly come in and force her to eat food.

Zeke ate his food first not caring whether Reina was glaring or not.

Reina who was looking at such a Zig also got her appetite back and started eating.

“hmm?”

Reina who tried Southern food for the first time was surprised by the unexpected taste.

To prevent muscle loss Reina ate mostly lean meats and supplemented any missing nutrients.

As a result southern food with strong spices and seasonings that she had not tasted before caught her taste buds.

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.

Reina was originally a big eater.

After she swept the table once the plates were soon emptied cleanly. In the end Zeke had to order two more servings.

“Phew.”

Only after a pile of plates was piled next to her did Reina finally come to her senses.

Then seeing Zeke’s reaction of looking at her curiously she felt slightly embarrassed and looked away.

“…it was a pretty tasty meal.”

“Yeah. I’m glad you ate well.”

As for Zikro who had regressed after 20 years he looked as young as Reina who was around his age and Alice who was younger.

I was just proud because Reina ate better than I expected.

She wiped her mouth and returned to her sharp gaze.

“I heard that you recently gave away the Ghost Mansion.”

It seemed that the news of Zeke’s accomplishment of his mission had spread far and wide.

Zick nodded drinking the tea he had ordered separately.

“Yeah. It wasn’t easy but somehow we succeeded.”

In reality it was a mission that he had obtained without any difficulty but Zeke was pretending it wasn’t true.

Reina who didn’t know the inside story nodded and asked Zeke.

“Why did you ask to see me?”

Zik put down his teacup and got to the point.

“I want to see the head of the Turn family.”

Reina’s eyes widened at the unexpected words.

Head of the Turn family. Rex Turn.

He is considered one of the strongest knights of the House of Tourne and one of the Black Knights of Draker.

However he refused the name of Draker and chose the name of Tourn and became the head of the household.

Reina asked Zeke with a stern expression.

“What’s the matter sir?”

Zeke said looking into Reina’s eyes.

“To challenge the ordeal of struggle.”

“what?”

Reina was taken aback by the words “trial of struggle.”

She stood up from her seat without realizing it and shouted at Zeke.

“You…! Do you even know what the trials of struggle are?”

Zick nodded drinking his tea.

“Yeah I know.”

“But you still want to do that?”

Reina stared blankly at Zeke then felt the eyes of those around her and sat down saying:

“I know that you are the youngest Blue Knight to be promoted and that you have become famous as a knight of Haeju. However the trials of struggle are no joke. Even the knights of the most famous families shake their heads at the trials of struggle.”

“I know. That’s why it’s more valuable.”

Reina frowned at Zeke’s words.

‘No matter how crazy it is it is still a trial by fire.’

The Trial of Struggle was the name of a special dungeon managed by the Turn family.

Since ancient times the Turn family has maintained the dungeon and anyone can enter it and prove their bravery.

However the level of the dungeon itself was so high that no one had yet reached the deepest part.

Zeke said to Reina.

“I understand that in order to enter the Ordeal of Struggle I must gain the approval of the head of the household.”

The owner Rex Turn was an unprecedented figure who entered the 100-story ordeal and made it to the 90th floor.

It is said that before Rex Turin there were many who recklessly entered the trials of struggle and never returned.

So after Rex Turn took the position of the lord he tested the challenger’s strength and judged whether he could enter the ordeal of struggle before allowing him to enter the dungeon.

Reina said as she looked at Zeke.

“It is possible to undergo the Lord’s test. However after undergoing the test you cannot undo it. You must enter the ordeal of struggle.”

“The sea of ​​hope.”

Reina clenched her teeth as she looked at the newly-released Zeke.

‘Is this how the difference arises again?’

When I was in the cradle I didn’t think much about Zeke.

I just thought of him as a weak direct descendant who was only worried about how to skip training.

But one day he suddenly changed and now he has gone far away to a place where he has to raise his head and look up.

Zeke slowly got up from his seat.

“I’d like you to think about it and contact me. If you can connect me with the head of the household I’ll compensate you and Reina sufficiently.”

“Why do you insist on meeting the Lord through me? You could have gone yourself.”

Zeke chuckled at those words.

“Wouldn’t it be better if I went at your invitation rather than going to the Turun family myself? I was also curious to see how you were doing.”

Reina was taken aback by Zeke’s unexpected words.

As for Zikro he was curious about the growth of Rayna Draker the Knight of Flash one of the future Five Star Knights but she received it in a different way.

In an instant Reina lowered her face which was flushed red.

Zeke saw Reina like that and thought that she was shaking in anger at his words.

‘I guess I made a mistake. Well it’s not like I’m going to split up. I who I considered a rival am already challenging the test of struggle.’

After paying for the meal Zeke left the restaurant leaving Reina who had just swallowed her food bowing her head.

As Zeke left Olga who had been sitting in a place where Reina could see quickly approached Reina.

She looked at Reina and said excitedly.

“Hey hey. Reina! Was that really Zeke Draker just now? The winner of the Draker Martial Arts Tournament! The youngest Blue Knight promoted to the continent and the youngest Valhalla graduate!”

Reina forced her expression to straighten up and then raised her head.

“That’s right. Zeke Draker.”

At those words Olga cheered.

“That’s right! That’s right! I’m going to see the real Zeke Draker! I saw the championship match between Zeke Draker and Helen Draker in person at the Grand Stadium during the Martial Arts Tournament. You saw it too Reina?”

“…Do you know that I also participated in that martial arts competition?”

“Oh I see. Anyway didn’t I show you that last time? The scrapbook of the Zig Draker article!”

“No I didn’t see it.”

“Really? I guess I didn’t show you. I’m a member there. Yongyong.”

“What is that?”

“Zeke Draker Fan Club.”

“….”

“The name I submitted in the fan club name contest was chosen. Yongyong. Doesn’t it sound good?”

Reina looked at Olga in bewilderment then ended up chuckling.

That was when.

Someone opened the door and came in.

Then he approached Olga and Reina.

He is the second son of the Roswell family.

A man who swept the academy under the name of ‘Durban of Tragedy’.

The man approached Reina with a large and gorgeous bouquet of flowers in his arms. The terrifying Durban shouted at Reina.

“Rayna Draker! I am the second son of the Roswell family! Durban Roswell formally requests your courtship!”

Olga watched with interest Reina’s reaction to Durban’s confession exclaiming “Oh my oh my.”

But Reina just glared at Durban with a cold expression.

As she gestured the students belonging to the Turn family who had been waiting outside rushed in.

Reina said in a cold voice.

“Clean it up.”

The uniformed Turin family cadets dragged Durban out. Durban shouted like the unfortunate protagonist of a play.

“Let go of me! Reyna Draker! Accept my heart!”

The tragic Durban had no hesitation in confessing.

Olga held her stomach and laughed as she watched Durban being dragged away.

“Raina don’t be like that. Why don’t you go on a date with Durban?”

When Reina glared at her with a strong gaze as if she couldn’t let it go this time Olga turned her head away and whistled as if she didn’t notice.

She recalled the face of Zeke Draker who had said with a calm expression that he would take on the ordeal of struggle.

‘Zeke Draker.’

For a moment without realizing it she pictured herself and Zeke standing together.

Two people who fight every day with weapons facing each other and test each other’s skills.

In the imagination Zeke and Reina were looking at each other and laughing sweat dripping down their faces.

‘What am I thinking…?’

She shook her head from side to side trying to shake the thoughts off.

Then he spoke to Olga who was watching Durban screaming even after being dragged outside.

“Olga I have to go to my parents’ house for a while.”

“Huh? Why your main house?”

She pursed her lips and then slowly opened them.

“I too will challenge the ordeal of struggle.”
