Even without his eye of foresight active, Rudeus could have won this match, but it would have taken a bit longer. He himself thinks in the novel that Luke was a surprisingly easy opponent and realizes that everyone he has fought before like Eris, Ghislaine, Ruijerd, Paul and that one saint rank north god style swordsman he defeated in the great forest were actually really strong.
You know someone is your best homie when they celebrate in the background right beside the other party
I love that the guy got so angry that he hurt his hand slamming his fist into the ground. That's a nice little bit of realism there: Frozen ground is incredibly hard.
That was fast; I nearly blinked, and the battle was over. And the funny part was Rudy was holding back. 🎉
Ariel and Luke both think how hard it is for a mage to have a sword fight without magic. Meanwhile Rudeus is thinking about Paul, Eris, Ghislain, and Ruijerd and wondering if this is really all Luke can manage.
Paul and Ghislaine would be proud, Luke never stood a chance

I can see why Rudeus wanted to use a practice sword, if he used a real Luke probably would have lost that hand.
Somewhere in the Six Faced World, Ghislaine has a big smile on her face.
The setup lasted longer than the actual fight.
Rudeus: Youve survived social backstabbing and assassination attempts eh? Try being thrown onto the Demon Continent at 10 years old and watch over an angry girl who cant speak Demon tongue while negotiating with a Superd and trying to find a way back....but yea pride xD Funny how Rudeus in the LN didnt even need his Foresight and mentioned how much slower Luke is compared to Ruijerd, Paul, Ghislaine, and Eris, meanwhile Luke iirc was using his pay to win items buffing him the whole time
The opponents Rudeus has faced up until that point are light years above anything Luke will ever achieve. He would be stomped by Eris. The monsters from the demon continent would be a life or death battle for him, and he would still lose. For Rudeus this was like playing with a kid.
1:08 rudeus used the same strike his dad used before knocking him out with a parry
People seems to forget Rudeus literally trained since he was a child, survived in a continent filled up with monsters and survive Ostred. By this point he already is powerful enough to be a threat to ant kingdom
Fun fact, the magic items Luke wears (including items that buff his speed, endurance, and strength) total to cost more than Rudy's house. And our boy still bodied him. Dude can go toe to toe with sword saints and kings even without battle aura.
In one strike with one push, the fight was over. Great job, Rudeus!
Eris watching from somewhere like Omni Man: Pathetic.
1:27 Right, glad to see Cliff excited for Rudeus win.
Was not expecting that. Ghislaine would be proud
