Chapter 790 – Where Seasons Cross (4)
***
Group movement takes time.
The grassland that was said to have disappeared was an intersection with the location of the ruins I guessed. Leaving the academic exploration team behind, and taking Odelia’s knights back, it was easy to sneak.
“I’ll leave right away the next day.”
Odelia said so, so I replied that I knew.
‘I’ll have to look at Fran’s dagger technique today.’
Fran, who woke up, was surprised by the unfamiliar feeling, and after hearing my story, asked for adaptation training. You may not have learned the essence of martial arts right away, but you will have to learn it by hand.
─Chang!!
I gave Frank a real sword and even made him use a golem, so they stuck together like a real battle.
“Nor, sorry! I’ll apologize once I’m done!”
“It doesn’t hurt, so it won’t happen.”
Chae Chae Chaeng—!! I accept the dagger.
It’s a technique I made, but the destructive power is amazing. If it wasn’t for bruenak, it would have been cut with a spear.
‘Because it’s a high-powered technique, if it gets hit, it’ll break even Beast Return.’
It’s okay if it doesn’t fit.
It’s a technique I made, but there was no way it wouldn’t be expected. Fran, who was hesitant at first, also let me go when I pretended to be depressed, saying, “You don’t believe in my skills?”
“Now I know how to write.”
Fran, who practiced until she was drenched in sweat, drank the water and smiled happily.
“Did I make it easier for you to write? Thanks! I’m so glad!”
“Heh. Frank is good because he’s honest. It’s rewarding just to hear it.”
“Ehehe. Are you all serious?”
After dealing with him for a while, Lalilura also appeared asking to join him.
“Sister? Lari Lura is suffering from envy behind her now cute face!”
“Even though Lalilura received a lot of puppets.”
“Aha♡ If you say that, I have nothing else to say!”
The wives who were joking started training.
Ringling, which had been repaired to match the increased mana, confronted No. 6 and Fran, holding a dagger in one hand.
The station field of
As we sat and watched, Tyrsi spoke.
“Unlike a dagger, it’s incredibly powerful.”
“Well. Is it a skill that saves Fran’s mana?”
Veronica, who came with her, also crossed her arms.
“I’m not proficient in swordsmanship, but it’s a perfection that doesn’t seem like an improvised technique.”
“If you say that, the expression is good, but it lowers fuel efficiency and focuses on power.”
“How is that? Mr. Fran only had golem magic to save the increased mana.”
It’s different from us wizards. Tirshi made snow crystals on her fingers as she said so. It seemed to be quite skillful perfection.
“Even if the power of the technique increases, the pressure and method of fighting change.”
For a warrior, physical ability is the absolute criterion for strength.
On the other hand, if a mage wants to become stronger, increasing the amount of mana is the best.
Tyrsi and Veronica also obtained equipment and repeatedly studied magic and came to the brink of Mithril class. In terms of power, it might be better than the Aurors.
Our wives’ reinforcement plan was proceeding smoothly.
“That would be nice, but… Well.”
I got into trouble while I was talking. The members of the Secret Sword Knights were training, which was their daily routine, but the level of immersion was far less than what I had seen several times before.
There are people who are silently training, but there are more people who have gloomy faces.
It was almost like an office worker who went to work the day after the holiday.
‘Was the shock from the last Dalian great?’
The world is wide. Although they are one of the best knights in the country, they are not invincible.
It’s a matter of course, but the leader of the knights, who were the most reliable for them, was shown off by their teacher as lacking. It cannot be said that Odelia lacked consideration, it was the sorrow of a warrior.
Then I noticed a sense of incongruity. The knight commander was nowhere to be seen in the gymnasium.
Of course, he won’t lead the training every time, but…
“Ah, is that so?”
It was the time when I felt a sign in the middle of my worries and smiled.
Thump, thump…
A short, slender girl appeared at the entrance.
Even if she did not salute her outsider, the Marquis, she was a person who was respected enough to see her status and skills. The knights stopped following the orders of their representative, the senior knight.
Besides, there was even a Primor holding a child by the side of the Marquis, so it was even more absurd that she didn’t stop training.
Fran and Laliluru stopped playing. The knight commander who came with me shook his hand.
〈… Yes!!〉
When their superiors gave the order, the knights with proper discipline relaxed their stance.
But on the other hand, it was quite a surprise.
Although they did not use their swords, Odelia and the knight commander came to the training ground armed. Some of the knights quickly brought wooden swords.
The knight commander who received the wooden sword crossed the gymnasium and stopped on the other side of the master.
And she pointed her sword at her. It was the revenge of the past day. 〈… Stop training! Empty the gymnasium!〉 ─Rush! The knights moved at the command of the superior knight. Looking at the teachers and disciples, they raised expectations and concerns at the same time, but only erased their concerns with respect and pride for their representatives. ‘I’m leaving tomorrow. I’ll have a chance to meet you again, but I won’t be able to compete with swords. In some cases, this may be the end.” Odelia looked at her eyes filled with anticipation and said. Can the results change if you try again in just a few days? She had said so out of the blue. However, the knight commander’s attitude toward the sword was firm. Odelia, who calmed her eyes, raised her sword as if that was all right. ─Aww. Franc clutching my hand. Was it because he started learning proper swordsmanship? Fran held her breath and focused as if she realized that watching this fight was more valuable than practicing for a while. The wind blew in the silent gymnasium and tore it apart. Not only does she know enough to know her opponent’s swordsmanship, but the leader of the knights cannot perform swordsmanship beyond Odelia’s eyes. It was obvious that she could read the sword, so the answer was obvious. Decide on the first move. ‘Look closely, Lucius. It’s a swordsmanship that even your father was proud of.” Primor whispered to her son in her arms. With an innocent look on his face, the family’s master reached out to the head of the knights who were protecting him. There are many people watching, and the meaning of defeat is heavy. Even if that opponent was the most outstanding swordsman in Romania, there was no choice but to do so. The soaring tension did not even sound like swallowing saliva as if it had crossed a critical point. And then, a certain article missed the canteen. Could he have exhausted himself through training that pushed him? The empty canteen plummeted to the ground. – Tung. That was the moment the canteen touched the floor. The knight commander narrowed the distance like a gale. Leap with the wind wrapped around both legs. The magic of the secret sword knights, the leaping step, was faster than before thanks to the mana of the wind. But, that’s the only thing worth noting. Just how much meaning would a faster sword have? There are plenty of things faster and stronger in the world. Even ferocious monsters that ran faster than that wind-like speed, and enemies stronger than the knight commander, would not be enough in Odelia’s eyes, who had defeated them all.
I was also able to take on more than a few enemies who were faster and more powerful than that.
No, even Frank and our wives would have.
Consistent honesty is a virtue, but the world is not easy enough to get better with it.
So it must have been. This is the reason why Odelia did not show any emotion to her disciple, who had only her will and willpower until the moment she struck her sword.
Odelia’s sword shone in the sunlight.
A sword wielding the power of nature. A season I didn’t know unfolded in her hand.
But why? The knight commander did not hesitate or stop.
And then, Fran muttered.
“The wind has stopped.”
A fact that no one realized, including Odelia and me.
The wind was not blowing against the knight commander’s sword.
And when Fran, as well as me, opened her eyes wide in amazement at what she had said.
─Chaeeng!!! Their swords collided.
Odelia’s feast left a deep mark on the gymnasium in the aftermath. On the other hand, the sword of the knight commander did not cause a stormy wind, nor did it blow out sharply.
“Sometimes even the wind has to stop. There is no traveler who wanders forever.〉
Still, the knight commander did not kneel.
“Even the wind must have a place to return to. It would be miserable without a place to stay.〉
The wooden sword was not broken, and there were no cuts.
It was to attack the master of masters from the front and break through.
He said with his sword down.
The knight commander, not letting go of his sword, raised his head.
The son of the next head of household, whom he failed to protect, was languishing in his mother’s arms.
Odelia swung her raised sword once.
-Jureuk.
The solid line drawn on her cheek was bleeding thinly.
Regardless of the bladeless wooden sword, the wind that tore his cheek was that sharp.
O’Delia put her wooden sword at her side and said pleasantly.
It allows the wind to come and go freely without being trapped. Even if he did not reach the level of a master class, the power of enlightenment obtained by the knight commander clearly proved its power.
The knight commander let out a long sigh and smiled naturally.
I stuck out my tongue at the fact that I noticed a step too late.
There is no mention of saying that he was a teacher to me, and he only called the person concerned an elder. If you know it, it seems that it was all for that reason.
The macho’s pride was so repressive.
Primor also sighed in the same way as me.
“Really, sincerity has its limits.”
The bloody young master’s bright smile signaled the end of the sparring, leaving a fresh aftertaste.
“… Aha♡! It was a nice sight!”
“Yes. Really.”
Did you have any thoughts of your own? I was soaked in the afterglow of Fran and Lalilu.
“… So, what happened?”
“I don’t know. I understand that the cheek was slit because it exceeded expectations, but other than that, nothing at all… “
A mysterious combination of wizards who tilted her head while twisting her head. Well. The difference in gambit is so firmly divided. Even if you don’t know it with the stark scientific logic, you can’t do anything.
“The mana of the wind accelerated the sword. Beyond my abilities.”
“You mean it was faster than the Marquis expected?”
“There is no romance, but if you dare to put it into words, it is.”
To put it sensibly, that was it.
The perspective of the master class is a prediction based on experience or common sense rather than psychic powers.
So, the knight commander’s sword deviated from Odelia’s prediction. It was a movement that the knight commander could never show with that posture, that strength, and that speed.
This was the reason why Odelia cut her cheek without being able to avoid it.
If you want to win the moon puppet master class, you have to go beyond your opponent’s expectations with skills that go beyond your limits.
I nodded my head with a feeling of great awakening.
Even Frank and Laliluru seemed to have found their way, and I was able to get a clue to defeat the enemies in the Master Class. It’s difficult to put into practice, though.
Compared to the time invested, the gains were more than enough.
‘It’s my own limit…’
I looked down at Brunak in the bracelet state.
Opened Odin’s eyes. My pupils were reflected on the surface of the mithril cut like a jewel.
With indescribable wisdom.
