Episode 140 His fighting skills are top-notch, but his swordsmanship is third-rate! (1)
The next afternoon.
“Ha-am, sleepy.”
Lucia kept her promise. Just as we were just starting to warm up. He personally came to the training ground carrying a heavy body.
“I never thought I would be teaching children at this age…” … . Anyway, people these days don’t respect the elderly?”
Well, the old-boy attitude was still there.
“Hehe, are you here?”
“hello!”
“Oh, hello… … .”
“OK. Still, you are polite. “Except for just one person.”
Surely you’re not talking about me?
Probably not. There is no difference in personnel.
After guessing with my clever mind, the culprit who offended Lucia was.
“Hehe, Miss Leger. You have to say hello properly. Lucia, aren’t you disappointed?”
“yes… … ?”
Sigh!
“It’s not him, it’s you!”
Lucia said that while hitting me on the head.
It was amazing. It was surprising that Lucia, who was far away, arrived in front of me in an instant.
‘The culprit was me?’
So that means my greeting was wrong… … What exactly went wrong?
“okay! I guess it was correct to say ‘Are you here?’ rather than ‘Are you here?’”
“Are you sure?”
“Hehe, then what is it?”
“Ugh… … I have to teach this guy for 3 weeks… … . “Let’s not talk.”
Lucia glanced at us with half-dead eyes.
“But why are you doing that?”
For reference, the ‘that’ Lucia pointed out was referring to Leger, and the question ‘Why are you doing that?’ was… … .
“Regé! You should look this way! “Why are you standing looking at the wall?”
Yes. As Luna said, Leger was putting his head against the wall… … No, it was like it was being fucked as soon as it went in.
Contrary to my thoughts, it seems that ‘Tomorrow’s Leger’ was someone who could not solve today’s problems.
“Hehe, actually… … .”
Leger briefly explained why he wanted to become one with the wall.
OK.
“If you make eye contact with a strong person, you will die? Ah, there are people like that.”
“… … Does this mean that what M. Leger said is true?”
“No, well… … Even though no one died, there were often those who fainted.”
Judging from Lucia’s reaction, it wasn’t a lie. There was no reason to lie like that in the first place.
‘Suddenly an unexpected problem arose.’
I’ve never experienced anything like this in a game before.
As the level difference increased, there were cases where it was easier to suffer from status abnormalities, but it did not lead to fainting or death right away.
In a way, it is natural. We have just entered the beginning of Chapter 2.
It’s extremely rare to encounter a high-level character like Lucia.
‘Anyway, I might end up abandoning Leger sooner than expected.’
A comrade who cannot fight is an emissary from this side.
First, I was in a hurry to bandage Leger’s eyes.
“Well, it’s not like there’s no cure.”
“Does a cure exist?”
“It’s simple. “You become stronger.”
“yes?”
“The stronger that kid gets, the smaller the gap with his opponent is, right? The more you grow, the more people you can look at… … Later, you will be able to look everyone in the eye.”
Maybe it’s a game setting or hidden piece related to the level.
There was nothing I could do anyway. There is no choice but to believe and follow what the experienced person says.
“for a moment… … .”
As soon as she said those words, Lucia’s eyes lit up.
Then, Leger, who was standing with his back turned, continued to twitch and tremble.
Luna and I just looked at Leger strangely.
“Oh, it feels really good?”
“A feeling?”
“Yes, I also detected level 1 mana. “Amazing?”
Our heads simultaneously turned to the left. It was an expression of not knowing what he was talking about.
There was a small accident where Luna and Leger bumped their heads because Leger turned around and bent his head.
Either way, Lucia’s explanation continued.
“I tried shooting mana by adjusting the strength to five levels. And of the three of you, the one behind you was the only one to react.”
“You mean you sensed mana?”
“It’s a little different, but… … Well, it doesn’t matter if you look at it that way.”
Maybe it’s the power of Leger’s [Concentration S] and [Crisis Detection A] skills.
“By the way, that’s an innate talent. Of course, it is possible with effort, but… … He can achieve that level without even trying, so I can’t help but say he’s talented. This kind of feeling… … “This is my first time seeing you since Masters.”
Lucia’s praise continued. Seeing her being praised so highly, she must be a very useful talent.
And usually when a conversation like this comes up, what follows is… … .
“There’s one technique that’s perfect for a kid like that. Magic guns are not my specialty, so I was wondering what to teach… … “It just so happened.”
Yes. It is a ‘skill transfer’ event.
As you play the game, you sometimes come across strange surprises, and the rewards you can get vary depending on your skills, characteristics, and story.
And the most representative reward you can get is ‘skill’.
I don’t know what kind of skill Lucia is trying to pass on, but it is an unexpected harvest.
“Hehe, please also train me to increase my mana.”
“Look at this shameless guy? “What have you entrusted to me?”
Continue-.
Lucia approached me before I knew it, grabbed both my cheeks and stretched them to both sides.
Hmm, I feel like I want to blow away the secrets of the Lucid family right away.
‘Whoa…’ … ‘I, the kind person I am, will endure it.’
This is a hard-won opportunity. I didn’t want to create unnecessary variables.
“Hehe, I know that Ms. Leger has talent and that she will be fine as she gets stronger. But what now? “I wouldn’t be able to learn properly in that condition.”
“There is a way.”
Lucia took something out.
It was a red hat and sunglasses.
“I just have to suppress my spirit as much as possible and cover my eyes. “How are you? Are you okay now?”
“iced coffee… … yes Go, thank you!”
Lucia, who was in front of me, had already reached Leger’s eyes.
Leger bowed towards her.
‘Did you prepare in advance? ‘He’s secretly kind.’
Perhaps Lucia’s reputation does not decline because of such appearances.
Could it be that there is a hidden charm behind the vain appearance?
“I think it’s all sorted out… … “Shall we start training now?”
Wait, but that… … Have you seen this a lot somewhere?
Where did you see it?
“Do not make eye contact with this assistant.”
Lucia’s words were spoken with her voice lowered. Eventually I was able to recall a memory.
“Ugh!”
“What, what! “What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
“… … “It’s PTSD that all men have.”
“… … What bullshit? “Are you protesting because you’re the only man?”
I didn’t even have time to reply to Luna’s words.
This is because I felt tremendous pain in the frontal lobe of my brain.
“There, no small talk.”
“Hehe, the pain that started in the frontal lobe of the brain is eating away at my entire body… … “Can I take a break?”
A request filled with sincerity that all people have no choice but to listen to.
Lucia said with a bright smile.
“Are you sure?”
* * *
“Okay, 10 minutes break.”
“Huh… … .”
“Huh, huh… … .”
Leger fell down with a strange sound.
But this wasn’t much different for us either. My whole body is covered in sweat.
‘I expected the training to be old-fashioned, but… … .’
This is more than you think.
Basic training lasted for two hours without a break.
For reference, Leger started crawling on the ground after about 20 minutes.
“Are you just this tired? Anyway, things these days… … .”
“Hehe, I don’t think the old ones will be much different from us, right?”
“okay? Then we can compare. “I happen to be one of those old people, right?”
“Ugh! Pain that starts in the frontal lobe of the brain spreads to the pituitary gland in the hypothalamus… … .”
“… … “Shut up before I make it happen.”
I immediately closed my mouth. Because Lucia is a person who can do that.
Just like that, 10 minutes passed in an instant.
“Before we begin full-scale training, I would like to check one thing. You three are the only ones I have to teach, right?”
“Hehe, that’s right.”
“It’s good to have a small number. There is plenty of time… … “I will look at each one individually.”
“yes?”
“why? no? “Don’t hate it.”
“No, fine. “This is an excellent choice.”
The reason I was surprised. Because I had no idea that Lucia would do something like this.
I thought it would end with just observing and pointing out their posture, but they said they would personally coach three people for three weeks.
It was not something Lucia, known as a byword for laziness, would do.
‘I was even prepared to use one wish ticket… … Things worked out well. Well, I guess that means I want to protect my family.’
Don’t let anything related to the devil’s curse slip out of my mouth.
Since it was only 3 weeks at most, you probably thought, ‘I’m going to have to suffer that much.’
of course.
‘I have no intention of finishing it in three weeks here.’
Although I am pure and naive, I am not stupid enough to let go of the tiger that came rolling in.
Oh, that doesn’t mean you just pamper yourself.
Lucia is a hero of the continent, and a person who should make a big impact in the mid to late game.
Since he is someone who needs to help the main character and his companions, I planned to use him appropriately and then let him go.
Let’s see… … one… … About President Dwenor? If you use it to that extent, it will be appropriate.
huh? Doesn’t that mean you’re going to suck out the bones?
Hehehe. It’s all an illusion, an illusion.
“Did you say Leger? First of all, you go over there and shoot. “Don’t leave a single bit of mana behind.”
“yes… … yes.”
Leger headed to the place where the shooting model was. While crawling.
But we couldn’t afford to worry about Leger like that.
Because we are right before we die.
“You two are going to spar with me. “Who do you want to do first?”
“Me! “I’ll do it first!”
“Your spirit is good. “Don’t waste time, get started right away.”
Lucia and Luna’s sparring began.
Because Lucia only focused on defense, it could hardly have been considered a sparring match.
“So far.”
“omg… … omg. Okay, thank you.”
“You have good sense. “Do you think you have a lot of fighting experience?”
“yes… … Joe, a little.”
“But, it’s too much of a street fight. “It must be very frustrating to fight with kids of a certain level, right?”
“Wow, definitely… … I’ve felt that way a lot since I came to the academy. Does it feel like fighting a wall?”
Lucia accurately diagnosed Luna’s current condition with just one sparring.
After pointing out a few more things, Lucia shifted her gaze towards me.
“It’s your turn. “Would you like to see my skills?”
“Hehe, don’t get your hopes up.”
Because I can’t use my secret skills, I’m extremely weak.
Especially for me, who doesn’t even know the letter A of swordsmanship, sparring is hopeless.
It would be safe to say that he is on the same level as Leger, who holds a sword. No, maybe it’s weaker?
“Huh~ So you’re saying to look forward to it? Well, it’s worth being cocky. “Is this going to be fun for the first time in a while?”
Lucia’s eyes lit up and she licked her lips.
Unlike the sparring a little while ago, in which Luna’s attack was merely parried, it was clear to me that she intended to attack me as well.
No, I really meant not to have any expectations!?
“Goes! “Don’t let your guard down!”
“Now, now, now, just a moment…” … !”
1 second after that.
My body was flying in the sky.
Of course, it was intentional.
