Episode 190 Teacher and disciple (9)
“The last step?”
“Yes, he’s talented. Although he is excellent at hiding his presence and mana, he is also gifted with mana. “You’re probably better than me in this area, right?”
When our eyes turned to Leger, she trembled and took a step back.
It seems like just a glance can cause damage.
‘A girl like that has greater talent than Lucia…’ … ‘I can’t believe it.’
Although it is limited to mana, Lucia is a character that boasts deceptive specifications in this game.
Such a being praises Leger? It seemed clear that he had some special talent.
“Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m better than I am now. Because I still lack time, experience, and mana reserves. But if you take the time to practice, you will become as strong as me, right?”
“Oh oh! okay. After all, my friend is amazing, right? Well, I knew it from the beginning!”
It was Leger who received the praise, but why is Luna happier?
I couldn’t feel even the slightest emotion like jealousy.
Well, since Luna cares about her friends, it was a natural reaction.
“Poetry, actually… … “Well, I have something to tell you.”
It was then. Leger opened her mouth as if she had decided something.
“huh? What?”
“Chwi, please cancel. Well, I’m Lucia’s disciple… … Boo, it’s impossible.”
Leger’s shocking remark came out of nowhere.
Luna next to me shouted.
“Regé! I told you yesterday! It can be a burden. But it’s a problem that will be solved when you get stronger! “You can do it!”
I see What Luna was particularly happy about a little while ago was the joy that Leger received from Lucia.
‘I guess it was also a fuss to change Leger’s mind?’
It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand why Leger was doing that. But it was difficult like this.
Because it’s like kicking away the opportunity for growth.
“Master just said that. “You’re qualified enough?”
“Well, that still doesn’t work.”
“why?”
“Min, because it will be a nuisance.”
“what?”
“Well, if someone like me were a disciple, strange rumors would start.”
Even when he emerged as a hero on the battlefield, when he became one of the Ten Swordsmen of the Empire, and even after he rose to the position of hero of the Empire.
Lucia had never once accepted a disciple.
This means that as of now, we are the first and last disciples.
‘If this fact becomes known, many people will be curious.’
What kind of students are the students that Lucia accepted?
Are they bright, gifted, or geniuses like her?
Many people will seek out Lucia’s disciples.
‘There may be an intention to observe, but the desire to verify may be greater.’
It can be said that it is natural for rumors to be distorted in the process.
But that wasn’t what Leger was worried about right now.
“Si, you will be disappointed. “I heard you accepted this strange child as your disciple.”
His timid personality, weak appearance, use of a strange weapon called a magic gun, etc.
Most of those who came to Lucia’s disciples would be disappointed in Leger.
‘And that disappointment will lead to pointing fingers at Lucia.’
He said it would have been better to have one’s own descendants or relatives as disciples.
The harsh gaze that started with the poor student will reach Lucia and begin to disparage her.
In the end, it may erode the reputation and power that Lucia has built up so far.
Leger was concerned about that.
“There’s no need to force praise for me. Well, right? Wow, someone like me is better than Lucia… … .”
“… … .”
“S-sorry. Well, it was an honor to be able to be your disciple even just for a moment.”
Leger began to shed tears.
As if I was really happy just for the time I spent there.
Lucia, who was looking at that scene, opened her mouth.
“Huh~ So you’re saying I’m lying now?”
“yes? Well, I didn’t mean that… … .”
“You don’t think I accepted you as a disciple because of those two, do you?”
“yes? Oh, isn’t it?”
“ha… … Don’t be mistaken. “As these are my first disciples, I thought it through before making my decision.”
Lucia took a deep breath and continued speaking.
“You are a child who is so talented that it is obvious. That’s why I accepted him as a disciple.”
“Well, me?”
“okay. He snatched it quickly before anyone else noticed. It was a shame to hand it over to someone else. All three of you.”
“Well, still… … I am weak. Lu, Lucia is going to have a hard time.”
“under! Criticism from people who don’t know us? insult? I don’t care about that. There are no good people who do something like that, but… … .”
Was it embarrassing? Lucia continued, scratching her head.
“What I care about is people like you… … “Because it’s just the people around me.”
“… … !”
“So feel free to call me Master. Don’t cry. Pop!”
“S-you are my teacher…” … .”
“After all, our teacher is the best!”
Luna and Leger were in Lucia’s arms.
The nanny, who was looking at this with satisfaction, took out a handkerchief and wiped away Leger’s tears and snot.
It’s a touching sight. Except Lucia was pushing her face away from me with her hands.
I’m also a student, so why isn’t he the only one who hugs me? It’s a mystery.
“I didn’t even think about revealing your existence in the first place. “I don’t want my students to be discouraged by rumors.”
People who have many allies also have many enemies.
Lucia seemed to be well aware of that fact.
“Well, I’ll let my associates know.”
“Hehe, do I really need to say it?”
“That’s what partnerships are. Keep this a secret and get caught later. Do you think dissatisfaction will immediately erupt from within?”
It’s just as Lucia said. The most important thing in an alliance relationship is ‘trust.’
If you hide your disciple, there may be a crack in that trust.
‘Disciples are important, but allies are even more important. That must be what Lucia thought.’
Well, it was natural. Because we only spent a month together.
We cannot criticize Lucia, who values our alliance more than ourselves.
“Okay, then shall we begin the final training?”
“Yes, yes! Well, thank you. “Master!”
The final training started at the same time as Leger’s excited shout.
Contrary to the exciting shouts, the training was extremely quiet.
Leger closed his eyes in a comfortable position in the box. Lucia whispered behind her.
About 10 minutes have passed since then.
[Party member Leger has gained momentum.]
[Special rewards will be given.]
[Party member Leger’s skills blossom.]
I immediately used the information window to check Leger’s status.
[Mana tracking technique S], and [Mana accumulation C].
Two skills were created. One is even S-class.
Both were skills I was familiar with.
‘Mana tracking is a technique that allows you to know the location of the selected opponent. And mana accumulation… … .’
Increased maximum mana, increased mana recovery speed, and even effects that increase the efficiency of mana-related skills.
It is a truly crazy skill that shows a whopping +15% efficiency even at C level.
“Well, I feel something. “The mana around me is moving more and more actively than usual!”
“Did I tell you earlier? “I heard you have talent.”
Lucia, who was stroking Leger’s head, continued her explanation.
“Go to Zero and feel the mana.”
“yes? Ha, but… … .”
“Every living thing has mana. That guy has it too. “I just haven’t figured it out yet.”
Leger, who was circling around me, moved as instructed by Lucia.
Leger, who had moved to the end of the training ground, ran towards me and shouted.
“N-I can feel it! Being able to know your location even if you are far away… … “Wow, that’s really great technology!”
This is about [Mana Tracing Art].
A skill that remembers the scent of mana (?) for up to three people and allows you to know the location of the other person no matter how far away they are.
Yes. To sum up that skill, it’s a kind of radar… … .
“So it’s a technology that helps stalkers.”
“Oh, no!”
No, that skill is a stalker-only skill.
When used in a game, it tells the opponent’s current location and approximate distance, and this is used for characters in the game.
This is because there were users who guessed the undisclosed story by checking the location of the character in each time zone.
So, it was safe to say that it was a stalker’s exclusive skill.
And Lucia, who has this skill… … .
“W-what are those eyes! “I just learned it by accident, right?”
“… … “I’ll leave it at that for now.”
“Oh, really no! “They don’t use it on Delrin regularly or anything like that!”
Confessing a crime with your own mouth? It was, after all, Lucia’s behavior.
I was lost in thought, ignoring Lucia who was messing with my head.
‘Come to think of it… … It’s similar to the direction users were researching.’
[Mana Accumulation], which helps accumulate mana, and [Mana Tracking], which allows you to find out the opponent’s location even in places where you cannot see.
These were skills that could make the build known as ‘Leje of the Bamboo Spear’ shine even more.
‘If you combine the magic gun, the builds researched by users, Lucia’s disciple, and the knowledge I know… … .’
Perhaps Leger may become a deceptive character.
‘You cannot kill a living creature, and if you become the target of an attack, you leave the battlefield.’
Except for those two chronic problems.
I checked the information window, but there was no change in the characteristics.
This means that becoming someone’s disciple is not a condition for changing characteristics.
‘As the second half progresses, the number of enemies using range attacks increases. No matter how strong a shot is, it’s meaningless if you can’t shoot it.’
There are characters that cannot be used in the latter half of the game, no matter how strong they become.
but.
‘Overcoming this is also the skill of the deceased.’
Since entering the game, I have accomplished things I thought were impossible several times.
I was planning to do it somehow this time too.
That damn rabbit.
Evolving it into a killer tank rabbit!
“Hehehe!”
“… … You’re laughing because I’m hitting you. “Are you really a pervert?”
Lucia slowly walked away.
It seems like a small misunderstanding occurred while I was thinking about it.
Luna came next to me and whispered.
“Hey, I heard you prepared a gift. “Where are you?”
“A gift?”
“Master’s farewell gift.”
Come to think of it, I said that earlier. Don’t worry, I’ve prepared a gift for you.
It’s a difficult situation. because.
Because I was planning to say, ‘Hehe, the gift is me.’
Yes. A gift I prepared.
That was ‘me’.
‘I was planning to get revenge on Charon for pretending not to notice that I was captured and only feeding dinner to those two people… … .’
When I saw Lucia doing her best for us, I felt a little embarrassed.
If I had told such a ridiculous joke in this situation, I might have died with my whole body bitten off by Luna.
“Well, actually, that’s it… … .”
“Why are you talking so long! Just give it to me! “It doesn’t matter if it’s cheap!”
Before I could make an excuse, Luna held my hand and ran.
That’s how I arrived in front of Lucia.
“Master! “We have prepared a gift for you!”
“gift? Hey, there’s no need for that. “If you give it to me, I should give it to you.”
At the same time, there is a subtle look of anticipation.
… … Is he really expecting this because it is the first gift he receives from his disciple?
If so, this is the worst situation.
‘W-Wouldn’t this amount be passed off as cuteness?’
Because Lucia is a teacher and an adult.
There is no way out anyway. I shouted in as cheerful a voice as possible.
“Hehe, the gift is… … “It’s me.”
Hwioo-.
Silence fell on the training ground.
Um, what is it? This dull feeling.
Luna didn’t even think about biting me. The shock was so great that it was just frozen solid.
“… … Thank you for the gift. “It’s mine now, so I can do whatever I want, right?”
Lucia held my face firmly in both hands.
Fortunately, he seemed to like the gift.
‘As expected, there are many times when a handsome face can be used in many ways?’
But that thought lasted only a moment.
Lucia began to tighten her hands, and only then did I understand her intentions.
He was trying to crush my face.
“I am so happy to receive the first gift from my disciple that I must take it. “I’ll compress it well and put it in my pocket.”
“Kwaaaa!!”
As my screams echoed throughout the training ground, Leger successfully completed his evolution.
From sunfish rabbits.
As a ‘stalker sunfish rabbit with radar’.
