208 Fifteen Years Old, Alicia, The Eldest Daughter of the Williams Family

I kept a close eye on the other side to see how it would react.

I expected it to charge at me with more vigor, but instead it walked slowly towards me.

I can turn into a lion with my magic, so I should be able to take on a lion

The crowds voices grew quieter and quieter as the lion approached me step by step.I felt more and more tense.

I hadnt thought of a plan at all, so what should I do now? If it didnt move first, I wouldnt be able to move. It would definitely catch up with me if I made a bad decision.

I thought youd be more violent, but youre a lot calmer than I thought.

That was the moment.

The lions eyes changed color, and it suddenly came running towards me as fast as it could. The crowd becomes noisy at once.

I take back my previous statement.

My face tensed up involuntarily.

I had to figure out a way to create an opening as the lion charged towards me. If I ran away at this point, I would be killed. The lion was much faster on its feet than me.

That little bastards not moving.

I dont think hes even aware of the lions presence.

Isnt it just his eyes that are bad?

Shut up, I need to concentrate.

I slipped under the lion just as the lion was about to pounce on me. I reached around my waist for my sword, but the lions reaction was faster than I expected, and it quickly extended its paw toward me.

I wished it was a more sluggish lion!

I reacted as quickly as I could and slid straight to the side of its tail.

This guy must have never considered that I would be capable of such a move. The hall fell silent in an instant. I could tell there were a lot of eyes on me.

Dont be surprised by something small like this. I havent even delivered a single blow yet.

Now I must defeat this fellow.

Even if I won this challenge, its a shame I wont be recognised as a villainess.

While I was thinking about this, the lion was relentlessly stalking me for its next attack.

I did a big backward somersault and successfully dodged the attack. Voices of Oh My! and You must be kidding echoed in my ears.

I had been training hard since I was seven years old, working on my muscles and practicing swordsmanship. This much was to be expected. How would I be considered a true villainess if I couldnt even do this?

I glanced at the king.

Oh, it was an honor to have him look at me with wide-eyed surprise. If he liked me here, I would have a much better chance of learning about the political situation in the Ravaal Kingdom.

Im doing my best, I am.

I said to myself and pulled my sword from my waist. At the same time, the lions eyes glinted.

It menacingly raised its voice towards me.

Hearing a lions roar up close was a memorable experience, so I should cherish it.

I gripped my blade tighter and skillfully evaded the lion as it leapt on me. I followed its movements with my eyes, trying not to get bitten to death.

Is that guy really blind?

That kids moving faster than a lion.

Ah, jeez! I couldnt launch a counterattack since this thing kept avoiding my attacks.
