Episode 166 Message Test (5)
Lucia’s thrusts rushed towards me.
Boom!
“Oops!”
At the same time, a tremendous pain came from my abdomen.
The ground rose up and slammed into me.
It’s physically impossible?
No, it is quite possible if you think a little differently.
… … Yes. My body collapsed.
As a result, my body hit the ground.
“what? Is it over already?”
Lucia stabbed me in the head with a wooden sword.
“Hehe, he doesn’t stop attacking even when his opponent is down. “The reputation that Lucia has built so far will make you cry.”
“Is this an attack? “It’s a confirmation of life or death.”
ah-ha, I see. Verifying life or death is done by stabbing a person, right?
I learned one thing. I must use it next time.
“So are you going to stop?”
“Hehe, I can do this all day.”
“Your spirit is good. “I hope my skills are the same this time.”
As soon as the sword was straightened, the sparring began again.
Sparring was difficult at first, but I learned it one by one and started to enjoy it more and more.
But even that was gradually reaching its limit.
It may be because I lose every day, or it may be because I feel like I am not making any progress, but the biggest reason that demotivates me is… … .
‘I don’t see any way to complete the quest.’
What was supposed to be a month now only has one week left.
[Fleur Family] I discovered the secret hidden in the skill, raised my stats a little, and became quite accustomed to sparring.
Let alone finding a way to gain Lucia’s approval, I couldn’t find even the slightest hint.
So it was natural for me to feel frustrated.
Just-! Ta-dak!
It still is. Lucia blocked my attack very easily.
A short period of time, skills that rarely grow, an invisible path, and skin that becomes dull due to stress(?).
There are many problems, but one of the biggest problems has arisen recently.
I thought I would never clear this quest.
The biggest problem.
“Lucid’s fifth draw, Sky… … .”
“Gap!”
Phew!
“The movements are too big! How many times have I told you that a draw comes naturally? Do you want to fight like this in real life?”
The movement increased to use the secret technique, and Lucia’s strike came through the gap.
Perhaps because I was hit in the solar plexus, I couldn’t even let out a moan of pain.
‘It’s really too much. Please take a look and do it! You are an 8-star knight! ‘Whenever you say you don’t feel like blocking and just dodge!’
Yes. Lucia’s changed mindset.
This was the biggest problem.
In the past, I yawned, swung my sword, and sparred until my stamina was exhausted.
This means that we had a sparring session while being moderate.
But after the night I met Charon.
‘People have changed.’
There was no longer anything to look at. One attack, one defense. There is no easy way to get through anything.
Even if you want to spar for a long time, you get beaten up and go out, so you can’t fight for a long time.
‘Even my body feels better.’
My muscles became stronger and I lost a lot of weight.
So much so that you can see it with the naked eye.
Is it possible to see such changes after only three days of training?
So, what kind of monster will I be by the time I take the written test in 5 days?
I couldn’t know the details, but I knew one thing clearly.
‘That it will be better than it is now.’
That much was clear.
‘It was good to have Lucia join the punitive force, but… … .’
I never thought it would cause a butterfly effect that would make the quest I was in progress more difficult.
Like pine nuts… … No, it’s the best game.
A game like nuts that are good for your health?
It’s a good thing, so I’ll say it again. This is a really crazy game.
Lucia in front of me is also a person like a pine nut… … !
“What are you thinking?”
“Hehe, I was thinking that Lucia was as beautiful as ever today. “You could say he’s like a pine nut.”
“… … I feel strangely bad about it, but I’ll get over it for now. Let me tell you in advance, I will be in charge of you during the paper test. “Don’t let your guard down, because you will be taking a test that is like a real test.”
It’s as expected. The problem is that even if you get it right, it doesn’t feel good at all.
“Hehe, then I guess sparring is a test? “Are you okay with me disclosing this information?”
“Well, whatever. “You’re not the kind of person who would fail level 1 or 2.”
“Still, how about you take a look? “Our relationship isn’t that bleak, is it?”
“What is our relationship?”
“Hehe, maybe it’s a sticky relationship with a secret?”
“… … “Desolate, desert-like relationships are my preference.”
Is it because my mindset has changed? Mental attacks don’t work either.
If it had been like before, I would have stepped back, not knowing what to do.
“You’re trying to suppress an academy student with all your might… … It is an honour. Of course, it is an honor that I will receive after I die in this exam.”
“You said you would take a test similar to the real test, but you didn’t say it would be like the real test, right? Don’t worry, the passing line will be based on your age. A 5-star knight would be enough.”
I guess the 5-star knight is the name of someone’s dog.
How many people have achieved 5-star knighthood at the age of 15?
“Why are you looking like that? You have to do that much. Dyke, he’s a 5-star knight too, right?”
Dyke, Teron’s hound.
It is true that it is a 5-star article.
‘She’s the semi-boss of Chapter 3! So it’s only natural that the specs are high!’
But all I could do was pout.
This is because Lucia, who is in front of us, has reached 5 stars at the age of fourteen.
Lucia grabbed my muzzle and moved it little by little from side to side.
“I can’t help it. My theory is that this kind of thing should be done strictly. Above all, because there was a bet. So we have no choice but to do it right.”
bet.
This is the ‘trick’ I suggested to clear this quest.
If I surprise Lucia one more time, she will ‘recognize’ me as her disciple.
If you fail, do whatever Lucia wants.
‘The conditions for recognition were lowered to surprising. At the time, I thought it was a good trick, but… … .’
Looking at it now, there doesn’t seem to be much difference.
At this point, it is better to be prepared in case you lose the bet.
‘What Lucia wants is probably… … .’
How did you learn about Lucid’s secret?
You’ll want that information.
If there were anyone else besides me who knew Lucid’s secret, I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Although Lucia said she would treat me at the level of a 5-star knight, she will face me with all my heart.
“So, is today’s sparring over?”
Lucia asked again.
The pain from being hit in the solar plexus has long since disappeared.
I still have enough stamina to do it once or twice more.
After thinking for a moment, I opened my mouth.
“Can you fight with a different weapon?”
“huh?”
“Any weapon other than a sword.”
The reason for this suggestion was simple.
As we fought with swords, the same situations were often repeated, so it seemed like we were falling into some sort of mannerism.
This is because it reminded me of a situation where I almost got into a fight with Scarlett at a bar.
‘The most popular weapon in this world is the sword, but you can’t help but fight with other weapons.’
The same goes for the bosses and mid-bosses you will meet in the future.
A person with Lucia’s level of skill would be able to use most weapons, even if they were not as good as swords.
Lucia nodded after hearing what I said.
“That is correct. “The problem is that I’m annoying.”
“What weapon are you the worst at using?”
“why? You want me to fight with it? Sorry, but that won’t happen. “Family is very important to me.”
Lucia headed toward the weapons display case and took out a spear.
“After the sword, the spear is the most used. I’ll hang out with you. “I think it will be a good way to kill time.”

[You have faithfully practiced the Fleur family’s swordsmanship. This is a lot of concentration.]
[Concordance rate 31.3%.]
[As compensation, the strength stat increases by 0.3.]
“Whoa.”
I wiped the sweat from my forehead.
This is already the third notification today.
The pace is good. If you’re lucky, you’ll reach a new record of five times a day… … .
“… … .”
It was a time when I thought I could do it.
The face of a girl with an unknown smile next to me came into view.
One of the main characters in the game… … No, the damn kid who is causing my image to go to hell.
You will be Miss Euridia.
“Now are you looking this way?”
“Hehe, that’s right. “I wish I had never seen it in my life.”
“Such sad words! “If you knew how we came, you would definitely regret it!”
Us?
It was only after looking around that I could understand its meaning.
Alex and Raymon. The two came together.
“Wow, this old witch has two friends! No way!”
“joy! No matter how much you deny it, the truth cannot be changed. I have three friends. Unlike you, there are two of you!”
“Three, three people? “Who is the other one?”
“There is a parrot. “You are always with me in my heart!”
“Hey, I was friends with the parrot too, right? Zero, Alex, Yuridia, and even the parrot. Well, then there are four of us!”
“Why is the parrot your friend? Zero is my friend too, right? “Eat this!”
Luna, who went behind Raymon, grabbed his waist and bent his back.
“German suplex!”
“Kwaaaaak!”
Quang!
That’s how a wrestling match began.
A wrestling match in which Raymon gets beaten up by Luna.
‘… … ‘It’s Raimon’s characteristic that his evasion rate increases as the distance gets closer, but you’re ignoring that.’
Maybe our Luna is a much more amazing child than I thought.
He spoke to Euridia, who was staring blankly at the fight between the two.
“Hehe, are you becoming friends with Raimon-kun?”
“Oh, no? He is just a member of the Euridia faction. Gu, military god. is it so! “You could say it’s a military-lord relationship.”
“Did Alex and Raymon enter the Euridia faction?”
“Well, we hang out together sometimes, so wouldn’t it be okay to say that?”
It is an illusion typical of Yuridia.
Alex is a noble wolf, and Raimon is an unruly child.
This means that it is impossible for Yuridia to control those two.
“We are steadily expanding our influence. “Why don’t you join us, Mr. Zero?”
“Hehe, you even accepted the Kraken. “It seems like a very big force.”
“Oh my, are you the type of person who cares about such rumors? “It seems that Zero is a man with a smaller heart than I thought.”
Oh, it’s been a while since I heard Yuridia’s unique tone of voice. Let me interpret it.
you are petty Why do men get upset over things like that?
… … That would mean:
“Hehe, it almost makes me want to extend my tentacles to Ms. Euridia.”
“I will politely decline. Zero has a fiance, right? And if it’s like this, it’s difficult, right? “I came to help Zero and Miss Luna.”
They came to help us.
I could understand what Yuridia was trying to say.
“I’ll provide something special for you.”
Yuridia took a big step forward and whispered secretly in my ear.
“Information about the memo test I got.”
Boy, that information… … .
I know better than you.
And much more.
