The Tin Knight

Adelaide thought to herself.

I thought I was going to lose...

A 5-round battle against various magic dolls.

The final opponent was especially formidable—its mana-filled body made it nearly impervious to blades, and its movements and strength were overwhelming.

Thanks to her rigorous training with the Tin Knight, she managed to endure somehow, but that was her limit.

To be honest, Adelaide had given up on the match halfway through.

If her sworduldn’t cut her opponent, victory was impossible.

Ah, this must be as far as I can go this time.

She thought.

She had been dodging attacks to avoid getting hurt, but in her heart, she had already accepted defeat.

At least, that was how it should have been.
