I’ll Live My Second Life!

Happy Mothers Day

I once heard someone say that Mothers Day isnt just to appreciate just our mothers but all the women. I like this statement I think we all need some appreciation every now and again.

Thank you for all the positive comments on the last chapter. So after posting chapter 86, I wasnt sure if I should continue translating. I was waiting to see the comments to find out how I did and if there was interest in me continuing. What I didnt know though was that I had it set so I had to manually approve all the comments before they would appear. So here I was waiting for the comments to help me decide if I should continue or not and there were no comments even after 21hrs. At this point I had myself thoroughly convinced that everyone was following the saying if you cant say something nice dont say anything at all, then I checked my email and I had over 30 emails telling me to approve all the comments. I felt like kicking myself for worrying so much and for not checking my email earlier. Dont worry I will continue translating.

Ill Live My Second Life

Therearetwo weeksleftuntil theNorthern-Eastern Swordsmanship Competition.

Themaidsaredoing their bestwith preparing for the competition.

Hislobasically allowedeveryone to havefreetimeafter the swordcompetitionwas announced.He also said that he would support us and that we could consult him.

The reason Hislo became an instructor for the Northern Dorms instead of the Eastern Dorms is because of difference in fighting strength. His philosophy is adversity builds character so to him there is more merit in training the weak to be strong then training those who are already strong. Because Fii asked for special instruction Hislo was giving her extra training. The training was severe but designed to help Fii.

Speaking of the Knight in charge of the Eastern Dorm, Fii only saw him a few times but she kinda remembered him. She remembered that he was a gentle knight who looked as thin as a stick with posture as straight as a line.

With such tough adversaries the apprentice knights from the northern dormitory were depressed.Even though all the team members were chosen, everyone walked around likesoullessdolls with no purpose.1

As forFii and the others they were practicing in secret.

Every day Fii is considering various strategies and investigating the enemy for any possible weaknesses.

After several days of considering various strategies,investigating the enemy for possible weaknesses,and training with Gorms, Fii started thinking that itwasimpossible to win the match against Luca.

Gorms and Dougs main training method is to fight against each other.

Slad andRemitrain by having two against one matches against Gorms or Doug.

To be honest,Fiiwasshort ofpractice partnersthough.

From the Northern Dorms only Gorms and Doug were at the same level as the opponents.

Gorms andDoug wantedto do a few things withFii, SladandRemito raise their abilities.They cant afford to spend to muchtimeworking with them thoughbecausethey have theirown practicematches.

Slad andRemiarepracticing with Gorms and Dougtohelp them get a bit more powerful.Unfortunatelythey are facing opponents who are not justpowerfulbut are skilled as well.Then there was Fii whose battle pattern and physique were too unique so it was impossible for the others to train with her.

Even ifFiisearchedit would be impossible tofindsuch a powerful person likeGorms,even though shereally wanted a lot of practice partners.

At lunchtime, Fiidecided to goto the libraryinsteadof practicing.

She figured that there was no point in lookingatthe rules anymore.

Fii couldntthink of a strategy to win against Luca,so shewaslooking for a book to give hersomeideas.

TodayFii grabbeda suitable book andstarted returningtoherseat.Shealmostmadea surprisedfacewhen she noticed who wascomingfrom the otherdirection.

Hey, you are a boyfromthe Northerndormitoryright?

The person who was about to pass Fii was none other then her opponent Luca.

Yes,ImHeath.

When Fiitoldhim hername, he looked a little surprised.

Oh,soyouremy opponentthen?

Both sideshaddecidedtheirorderofparticipationinwithinaweek, and the opponentshavealready beenconfirmed.There doesnt seem to be anyfluctuatingin either of the Dormitorys decision.

HearingFii, Luca laughed at the absurdity of it.

Man, it seems that the people in the northerndormitoryareterribly frightened,since theyhave obviouslyabandonedthecompetition.It would be as easy as stealing candy from a baby to win against a kid like you.

I am probably the same age as you,you never know I may even win.

Fiiglares at him.2

Well, I thought something was wrong withachild coming inhere, butguess your not a kid huh.Whyareyou doingcomingto the library,when you should be practicing for the competition?

I came to look for ways to defeat you, why are you here?

Fiihonestly mentioned the reason whyshecame to the library,therewasnopoint inhidinghermotive.

I hope thatyou can find it.

Luca said thatwhilelookingdownat his feet with acheeky grin on hisface,thenheshowed Fiithebook in his arms. It was a dancing textbookcalledDancingatEveningParties.

Because I haveyou as anopponent, I can only read bookslike thisto kill time. Well, since Im a son of a noble,this isntwasted time.

I envyRizilandPercilwhogota good opponents.

This justwentto show thatLucaconsideredFiis matchto bealready won and out of the way.

Obviously, he didntconsiderFiiathreatat all.

Well, I dont thinkyouwill find a way to defeat me inhere, but do your best.That waywhenyou lose, youll haveshownyourselfdoing your best.The captainsmay remember you a little better then.

Lucathen turned toleave.

However he paused for a second and turned back to say one final thing.

Oh, but dont trytoohardon the actual day.

In just a split second Luca had moved in front of Fii. He then lifted hisfaceagainto look Fii in the eyes and smiled at Fiis look of surprise.3

Even if you are a man,Ill feel guiltyifImistakenly scratchyourcute face.

Luca whispered,chuckling as heleft.

Fiistood frozen whilelooking at his back.

Suddenly in Fiis head it was like a light turn on.

WhenFiireturned to the northern dormitory,there werea lot of apprentice knights with wooden swords gathered at the training center.

Last week,theboys who looked likesoulless dollswould return to the dormitory after a minimum amount of training. Today though they looked alive and energetic.

Everyoneishelpingus train.

Remi happilytold Fiiwho wasreturning from the library.

Isorry, I wasbeingmiserable

Wehavealso gottenover it.We may not be part of the team, but wehavedecided tohelpwith everyonewithpractice!

Fiisaid to the apprentices knightswith arefreshing face.

The team has decided to have closed door practices. Ive also been told that Im getting better, so there is no need for your help.4

Ugh

Well, dont say that .

Theteenageapprentice whowasappointedto talk for the others,sat downdiscouraged.

Fii laughed.

Its a joke Thanksfor offeringyourcooperation, it will beagreathelp!

Oh, oh Please tell me if theres anything, I want tohelp! I willhelpwith anything I can!

All the apprentice knights in the Northerndormitory began to in practicingtogether.

The practice that Fii asked for was quite unique though.

Heath is this really OK?

Yeah,pleasedo it

Itwas anexercise to catch theopponentssword strikes.

Whichwas an unusual move forFiiwhooften avoided, diverted, or forcedtheopponents attacks, but at the same time it was practice specialized in defense.

Dont youhave to practiceyourattacks? You may be warnedand possibly disqualified.

Its all right, Imdoing this totry to win

Fiismiled andnodded,she knewGormswasworried aboutherweaknessofbeing unable to attack.
