I, Who Was Dismissed as Worthless Failure by my Family and Fiancée, Discovered I had Reincarnated as a Game Character I Raised with Great Care and Vowed to Take Control of my Life and Defy Anyone who Opposes Me. - Chapter 95: A Lesson From The Opponent

Chapter 95: A Lesson From The Opponent

“Gugigi… Sigh… Haa… Yeah. It’s true. Because this old lady lacks the ability, she ended up defeated by a young man like you who is barely of age.”

And just when I thought Charlotte’s anger had finally reached its peak in response to my provocation, she took a deep breath, and all her anger vanished, replaced by a regained calmness.

I see. She didn’t come this far without going through life-and-death situations for nothing…

I couldn’t help but admire Charlotte’s composure.

Few people can control their emotions, especially anger, and when one’s mind gets consumed by it, their perspective becomes extremely narrow. Provoking the opponent to anger is a valid tactic, and because Charlotte lives in a world where those who cannot control their anger inevitably die, being able to calm down such intense anger is commendable.

Of course, it’s possible that she was able to handle it calmly because she sensed a slight hint of fear, but it’s okay to genuinely praise the opponent in this situation.

However, there are also patterns where some people become even calmer when angry, so provoking the opponent may not always be effective. 

It’s vital to assess the subtleties of the opponent’s emotions before resorting to provocation, as doing it recklessly can be a bad move.

However, the power difference is so great that I don’t need to even consider that. But unlike in the game, it’s over when you die, so I still pay minimal attention to avoid being caught off guard.

For example, if I know I’ll enter combat in advance, I activate buffs, skills and defensive barriers ahead of time. That way, even if this old hag launched a tricky attack beyond my prediction and tried inflicting a fatal blow, I could block it.

If such a situation were to occur, I could give my all from there, and if I determine that she is skilled through our exchanges, I can fight without underestimating her from the beginning.

“It seems I had underestimated you, and doing so was a mistake.”

So, once Charlotte realizes her opponent is stronger, she should stop underestimating me and focus on how to escape from this situation while considering how to fight. It’s honestly too late for her to reassess my capabilities at this point.

It’s likely a pitfall brought about by her carelessness and pride, a result of living as one of the strongest people until now. I will remember it as a lesson so that I don’t end up like Charlotte.
