Chapter 80 – Her Whole Body Was Covered in Black and White Bruises.
“No matter how good a tool is, if the person using it does not keep his or her mind straight, it will inevitably degenerate into a pitiful mess.”
I spoke to Serin, swinging the wooden sword in her hand.
She was a childish child who suddenly received a weapon as a gift.
So, even after being chosen by her holy sword, I just immaturely played around and fell asleep.
It’s because there was no sense of crisis in the first place.
If so.
We need to create a sense of crisis.
It wasn’t training to make her a hero in the first place.
It was a training exercise to dissuade her from being her hero.
She has no intention of teaching lightly.
If that happens, even the Pope won’t recognize it.
She keeps taking it down as best she can.
That was my goal.
“Are you sure it’s okay? Are you going to do it with such a skinny stick?”
“Okay. You should attack with the holy sword. That’s how teaching becomes enjoyable.”
Serin laughs at the wooden sword I’m holding.
She was confident in the power of the Holy Sword.
I’ve pulled out the holy sword and cut it here and there, so I probably know a bit about it.
The power of the holy sword.
“You will regret it. I might really die.”
“Don’t worry. “You won’t get hit even once.”
And Serin took a stance.
Sloppy posture.
I think I was trying to imitate the kendo stance I saw on TV, but it was no easy task.
Her hips were vaguely backwards, her arms were weak, and she was shaking, and her legs were spread awkwardly, making it difficult to maintain a proper balance.
Still, a bright light shot out from the sword in her hand, which was said to be a holy sword.
‘The hero must go to Yongsan.’
How can you put an aura on a sword like that without any training?
If the knights had seen it, it wouldn’t have been surprising if they had been bleeding.
“Today’s training method is simple. If you defeat me, I will resign as your swordsman teacher without a word. But just keep in mind that if you don’t win, training that day will be hell.”
“It’s easy.”
Celer relaxed her shoulders.
It was strange that she still felt like Serin, even though her appearance was completely different.
Is that why?
When I looked at Celer, my anger boiled.
I wonder if she has ever been this angry.
“Players give in. For your information, I will never leave this position. “If you let me out of this place, today’s training will end.”
I lowered my sword and waited for Serin’s attack.
An attitude that did not think about defense at all.
Beginners who can’t lose their momentum will attack without looking back when they see this.
If you attack like that, you won’t be able to do anything and will be surprised.
“Yeaaaaap!”
As expected.
Serin is a warrior who is not prepared at all.
How can you protect the world with such a shabby warrior?
It was a skill that could even be defeated by a free knight I encountered on the street.
This world is not a game.
In a world without save loads, one mistake meant death.
I only twisted her upper body to avoid Serin’s holy sword that was charging at me without thinking and hit her on the shoulder.
Bye!
“Aaaaah!”
“If the opponent comes in just because he has lowered his sword, it means that he will fall victim to the opponent’s tactics.”
“Whatever…”
Serin does not give up and swings her sword again
“The will is good, but you have to strengthen your waist and swing.”
This time, I dodged her slowly flying sword and hit her on the waist.
“Ahh!!”
“Her feet extend a little further.”
Puck!
“Her wrists were weak.”
Puck!
“Aaaaah!”
“If you swing your sword like that, you won’t be able to catch even a goblin, let alone a demon lord.”
“What are you saying? Just one hit!”
“Tsk. “Have you come to your senses yet?”
I swung her wooden sword at her thigh again.
Poop!
“Aaaaah!”
I swung it so hard that there was a red bruise.
The reason she was strong was because of the holy sword, not because her body was perfect.
“It will take a lot of training.”
“Ugh…”
He gritted his teeth and glared at me.
“You beat a woman, you beast…”
“Where are the men and women on the battlefield? Do you think the other person will see you holding a sword and see you as a woman?”
“Seo, your senior is not your enemy.”
I shook my head.
“Now I am your enemy. Think of it as an enemy and attack.”
“Ugh…”
This time he hit her ankle.
Bye!
“The staff is out of sync. Step properly. “If the staff gets involved, it’s impossible to control your breathing.”
As her bones crashed, Serene screamed.
I clicked my tongue as I saw her crying as if she was in pain.
“Does it hurt?”
“I got hit with a stick, so it wouldn’t hurt?”
“I was in more pain than that.”
“…”
“Get up again. How long do you plan to rest?”
“Pup…”
The area hit by her wooden sword was stained blue.
She glared at me with tears in her eyes, as if she felt unfair at being hit.
It was quite funny to see people staring at me as if I had done something wrong.
“I play it like this because it’s training. “If we had met each other on the battlefield, you would have already died dozens of times more.”
Have I changed my mind?
A mask was placed on Serin’s face as she just glared at me.
“Senior… “I’m having a really hard time. Can’t we just end here today?”
It seemed like she was making a nasal noise and pretending to be having a hard time.
How long will we keep trying to escape danger like this?
If you are at a disadvantage, you fawn over men.
Stick to people who can benefit you.
Isn’t he more of a loser than anyone else?
Sorry, but I have no intention of finishing.
Actually, I’m not even sorry.
“No. Now an hour has passed.”
The training time I thought was up to 4 hours.
I also gave up my free time to come here.
I wanted her to attack me more sincerely.
“Haha… It’s a real dog. “Senior.”
I ignored her words.
“Now, come on quickly. “If you don’t come, I’ll go.”
Serin gritted her teeth and attacked again.
“Aaaaap!!!”
Bye!
And just like from the beginning, I was struck by a blow and fell down.
The training, which was no different from one-sided violence, continued for four hours.
***
“Haha…”
Serin’s eyes were wide open, as if she was about to faint as her breath rose to the tip of her chin.
Nevertheless, the effort to stare at me until the end was virtual.
Her sword still couldn’t reach me.
Naturally, I didn’t move a single step.
“Shit…”
Serin was writhing and swearing, and her whole body was covered in bruises.
There wasn’t a single tear from her wooden sword.
It is a wound that the priests stick to and will disappear after a day of healing. But that doesn’t mean the pain will go away.
It was all possible because I adjusted my strength appropriately.
If she had used more strength than this, she would have had to miss training tomorrow.
Then it was a national loss.
“Manager! “I brought a towel here.”
Elena, who came to the church’s training center two hours before the training ended, handed me a dry towel.
“Don’t you drink water?”
“Thank you.”
I drank the cool ice water that Elena gave me.
“But store manager… “Isn’t that too harsh?”
He glanced at Serin and smiled at Elena, who was asking worriedly, and shook her head.
“It is a task that a warrior must shoulder. “The battlefield is not an easy place to overcome.”
“Ah…”
Elena took another water bottle and handed it to Serin.
She didn’t bother to stop her.
This is a matter between me and Serin, and it is not a story that should involve her.
“Today’s training ends here. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“This is how it ends?”
“Okay. Did you think I would at least say that I had a hard time?”
“…”
“It’s something a warrior must do.”
“If this is what a hero is, I won’t be a hero.”
“Are you seriously saying this because you think you can run away?”
If I could run away with this mindset, the church wouldn’t have dragged me in the first place.
There is no way she could run away with nothing but her holy sword.
“Then are you going to endure all this unfair treatment?”
I still can’t come to my senses.
“Then kill the demon king and come back.”
“…”
“I’m going to die. The moment you step outside the confines of this denomination.”
“Then what are you going to do with me?”
That’s not something I can answer.
“If you pinch me, become stronger. Unless you want to lose that Hero title.”
“What?”
“If you want to know what he means, ask the Pope.”
I have no regrets.
If you neglect training because you want to lose the title of hero, you can bully him accordingly.
“Elena, let’s go now.”
“Ah yes…”
Elena glanced at Serin to see if she was still worried.
But that was all.
“Hey, store manager. “I have some time left today, would you like to have dinner together?”
Because she was also passionate about her work.
“Then.”
“I have looked into a good place. It’s a place where the chef cooks the food right in front of you and explains the food to you.”
I left Elena’s training ground while listening to her excited voice.
“You beast…”
Serin gritted her teeth as she watched Dojin’s back moving away.
“Someone like you is not even a senior. Fuck you. How can you beat a woman like this?”
Her white skin, which was her pride, was bruised.
Instead of seeing her as a woman, he fought against her with all his might.
The girlfriend who came with me is also the same year.
If you’re beating up someone next to you, you should think about stopping them.
You need to know that medieval people are ignorant.
‘It’s annoying.’
Everything in this world was annoying.
As soon as the training was over, priests from all directions shot healing magic all over her body.
As she was exposed to warm light, her body began to feel drowsy.
Even as I was drowsy, Dojin’s last words remained in my mind.
The saying that takes away the title of hero.
I’ll have to ask the Pope.
What kind of bullshit is this?
***
The morning of the third day of training with Serin.
“It’s finally today.”
Sylvia was preparing her bag to enter her academy.
“Are you sure it’s okay to commute to school here?”
“Does not matter. The academy has decided to provide a carriage, and I have no intention of moving into a dormitory that is already in place. It’s more comfortable here.”
“Well, it doesn’t matter if it’s comfortable…”
“Do not worry. I can do it well. Rather, shouldn’t the manager be worried about me working too hard?”
Sylvia naturally touched my shoulder.
“It’s good when employees work hard.”
“That’s not it…”
Her hand went down and grabbed my wrist.
“In another way, it was about working hard.”
“Something else? What do you mean?”
“It’s a secret. Hehe.”
I wanted to ask more, but I couldn’t because Kalimos came in.
“He came in person to greet our beloved returning student.”
“Is it enough for the dean to come?”
“Of course. How common is a wizard who can blow up an academy building? Hehe.”
Kalimos smiled broadly and stroked his beard.
“By the way, I heard a rumor that she became the hero’s teacher.”
“Master, I just went there to harass you.”
“Isn’t it the same as teaching swordsmanship?”
“That’s the way it is.”
“That’s not what I’m saying. You… Do you have any plans to double-time as a swordsmanship professor at the academy?”
“If I become a professor, half of the students in the swordsmanship department will give up and be expelled.”
“Hehe, you’re good at telling jokes.”
“I’m serious.”
Kalimos, who cleared his throat at my words, licked his lips.
He saw me on the battlefield, so he knows that I don’t lie about the sword.
“Then, please at least observe later. There are so many students who want to learn swordplay from you.”
“If I get a chance, I’ll visit.”
And Silvia placed her body in the carriage which had come to fetch her, guided by her Calimos.
“I will come back carefully. See you later.”
“Okay. Have a nice trip.”
I felt strangely like I was a parent sending my child to school.
I sent Sylvia to her academy and she headed to the church again today.
“Heh.”
Serin’s expression is different today.
The corners of her mouth rose, her face full of composure.
“You were jealous?”
“What?”
“Are you jealous because you’re not a hero?”
I guess I finally heard from the Pope.
The existence of a bet.
“You’d rather take it. I’ll give it to you.”
She was the one who really showed the reaction I had imagined.
It’s so boring.
