Lord of Training - Chapter 106



Only Krnovel

106. Tunnel Vision (lv.1).

Paaaaang!

On the way back to the canyon base.

I just got my own ultimate skill, but the only thing I’m disappointed with is that the range is too narrow.

The skill’s performance needs to be tested, but if the range is narrow, it will be a big problem.

The average effective range of the magic gun was 200m, but if you infused it with mana, it would double, and if you used a sniper rifle and skills, the bullets could fly up to 2km.

‘But it’s only 50m······!’

Of course, in my experience, the range doubles as the skill level goes up. So, if the tunnel vision skill reaches level 3, the range increases to at least 150 meters.

Yeah, that’s pretty good.

Anyway, when an air battle breaks out, the two sides will fight close enough that they will recognize each other.

but.

[Time remaining – 1 day 16:32:18]

The time to clear the survival gate is approaching.

So there is not enough time to level up.

In the end, it means that you will end up fighting Director Telfert in your current state.

‘Can we just get over it without fighting?’

That’s nonsense!

The look in Chief Telfert’s eyes the first day I saw him made me want to put a bullet in my head right away.

You must be gnashing your teeth right now, wanting to kill me.

From my perspective, it would have been much easier to deal with a named-level aerial magic knight who was slightly higher level than me.

However, even though the opponent is older and his skills have declined a bit, he is a veteran who has experienced everything, including aerial combat.

For me, who had no experience fighting named-level enemies, this was the most difficult opponent.

‘Can you escape?’

I don’t know all of the skills of the Telfert Collection, so I’m not sure about that, but I don’t think he’ll fall behind in terms of speed······.

As I was thinking about this and that, I realized that I was already near the valley.

They say that when you become attached to a place, it becomes your home, and after about a month, that valley now feels like home.

***

Audrey Russell looked surprised.

“Huh? A showdown?”

“Are you really going to fight the two of us?”

Nicole Braschi also opened her eyes wide.

“Yeah, I could fight Telfert. I heard he uses a sword and dual pistols. So it would help if I could fight both of them.”

Audrey tilted her head.

“Are you using all your skills?”

“Of course. Then we can fight as if in a real battle.”

“But if you use all your skills, even if you are the commander, you might get hurt.”

“Captain Audrey is right. Even if you’ve reached S-rank, it’s only been three months. If the two of us attack together, it’ll be dangerous. And I don’t know how to fight properly with a sword.”

Both of them were worried about me.

Now that there wasn’t much time left to clear the gate, if I made a mistake and got hurt, there wouldn’t be time to recover, so that was also a problem.

However, in order to surpass the veteran named-level aerial magic knights, actual combat training was absolutely necessary.

Audrey had great firepower, while Nicole had great speed and a sword like Telfert, so they could only fight by proxy.

“This is an order.”

No persuasion was needed.

You’re both soldiers, so you know what orders mean.

Honestly, I would like to fight three elites including Lieutenant John Carter, but I also need time to get used to the skills.

Ensign Watts, an excellent medic, and the members of the 4th Battalion stood by nearby in case of any accident.

“Okay! You can start anytime.”

I looked up at the two people from above.

Then Nicole approached Audrey and they were talking about something.

‘Oh! They’re discussing their plans with each other.’

I guess you want to win.

Even the knights of the air force are knights.

A knight has a strong desire to win, and that desire to win is a shortcut to making yourself stronger.

When the discussion was over, Lieutenant Colonel Nicole drew her sword and Lieutenant Colonel Audrey aimed his rifle.

Crunch!

“Then let’s go!”

Paaaaang!

I ducked upward as Audrey approached.

Paaaaang!

Tata! Tata!

[Use the Air Shield (lv.3) skill.]

Puppupupupup!

Her magic gun, which didn’t use any skills, could be blocked sufficiently with basic defensive skills.

Paaaaang!

At that moment, Lieutenant Colonel Nicole flew in from below, aiming her sword.

I aimed my rifle at her.

Crunch!

Tata tang! Tata tang!

Wheeeeeek!

‘Whoa! I avoided all of that!’

This was Nicole’s evasion technique.

As Lieutenant Colonel Nicole approached, I raised my altitude again.

Paaaaang!

Tata tata tang! Tata tang!

Then another bullet came flying from behind.

For a moment, a chill ran down my spine.

Wow! The connection between these two is this good?

A situation where Audrey is caught behind.

[Use the High-Speed ​​Flight (lv.3) skill.]

[Use the Overlap (lv.3) skill.]

Paaaaang!

Even though I used my skill, she persistently follows me.

Since her current flight skill and stacking skill levels were the same as mine, I couldn’t overtake her in speed theory.

For a moment, the altitude was raised again.

[Uses the Back Fly (lv.3) skill.]

Whirl!

Then he turned and aimed his rifle at Lieutenant Colonel Audrey.

[Uses the Fire Buster (lv.3) skill.]

[Use the Overlap (lv.3) skill.]

Before she could use her skill, Audrey turned to the side.

The downside of the Burst technique is that when you use the skill, a magic circle appears in front of the muzzle.

It was time to aim at Audrey again.

Paaaaang!

At that moment, Lieutenant Colonel Nicole came up from below, swinging her sword in a menacing manner.

[Uses Halo (lv.3) skill.]

Shhh!

Pufferpuck!

Her sword pushed away the halo shield.

Because of that, I was pushed back too.

When using the high-speed flight skill, the rifle’s accuracy also drops, but it is difficult to link with other skills.

And if Nicole’s sword doesn’t glow blue like it does now, then it’s just an ordinary sword that uses only body strengthening skills.

So it couldn’t penetrate the Halo shield.

Meanwhile, Audrey, who had left my firing range, was turning and flying towards me.

Phage, phage, phage!

‘Huh! Brain skill!’

A lightning magic circle flickered in front of Audrey’s rifle.

Just a little while ago I was worried you’d get hurt!

Paaaaang!

It plummeted downwards.

Audrey followed me.

Taang!

I turned at the sound of a gunshot.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The brain bullet fell to the ground.

That can’t be stopped even with the Halo (lv.3) skill.

“Hey!”

At that moment, Lieutenant Colonel Nicole flew in from above, brandishing her sword.

He saw the direction I was running in and came in advance to ambush me.

I reached out.

[Use the Air Shield (lv.3) skill.]

Chomp!

The air shield spread 10 meters ahead was broken.

Nicole’s sword is blue.

Her skill is Cold Weapon Enhancement (lv.3).

‘This is dangerous!’

[Uses the Tunnel Vision (lv.1) skill.]

Srrrrrr!

The mana in my body is sucked out in an instant.

My heart is beating like crazy.

Suddenly, everything became dark.

Suddenly, the surroundings around me became a little brighter.

‘Hey, this is 50 meters!’

It feels like I’m flying in the vast sky and then suddenly find myself locked in a prison.

But then I saw Lieutenant Colonel Nicole swinging his sword at me from just three meters above.

Has time slowed down?

Her movements slowed down, as if watching slow motion.

‘Ah! This is the effect of tunnel vision!’

[Uses the skill Dynamic Vision (lv.3).]

When I used the body vision skill, my movements felt slower.

Aimed the gun.

No, I was trying to aim the gun.

But my body also slowed down as if in slow motion.

The speed at which she flew in and the timing of her swinging her sword, as seen through my body vision, seemed to be slightly faster than when I aimed my gun and shot her in the chest, pushing her back.

This should be avoided.

[Uses the Back Fly (lv.3) skill.]

But the skill is applied right away.

It’s the same thing, moving slowly.

I backed away much more slowly than usual.

Would it be a little faster if I used a body strengthening skill?

[Use the Body Strengthening (lv.3) skill.]

Backwards flying skills were not affected at all.

However, the speed at which the gun is aimed has become a little faster.

At that moment, Major Nicole’s sword slowly passed in front of me.

‘But he tried to avoid the vital spot and aimed for my shoulder.’

Then I met Lieutenant Colonel Nicole’s eyes.

It was a little scary to see her eyes wide open.

What is Nicole thinking now?

Ah! It’s not that time is slowing down, it’s that I’m judging things so quickly that I’m dividing the time I normally feel with my high level of concentration.

This is the true power of tunnel vision skills.

With the added effect of the body vision (lv. 3) skill, it felt even slower.

Shhhhhhh!

The sword she swung passed by slowly.

I aimed the rifle at her stomach.

Taaaaaaaang!

The gunshots rang out slowly, but the bullets flew much faster than expected.

A bullet flew and hit her in the stomach.

Phew!

Even though I was wearing the Dragon Bone Plate, it was still pretty sore.

She gets hit by a bullet and is thrown into the crosshairs.

Taaaaaaaang! Taaaaaaaang!

At that moment, a gunshot was heard from above.

I raised my head slightly.

My body vision skill quickly scanned the surroundings.

At that moment, a bullet was seen flying rapidly from an upward angle of 25 degrees.

The bullet was aimed straight at my chest, and was not covered by mana.

[Uses Halo (lv.3) skill.]

Phew!

A flash of light appeared as the bullet hit the shield.

Phew!

At that moment, another bullet flew in and was blocked by the shield.

[Use the High-Speed ​​Flight (lv.3) skill.]

[Use the Overlap (lv.3) skill.]

Paaaaaaaaaaah!

My body slowly rose upward.

[Stops using the Tunnel Vision (lv.1) skill.]

Wheezing!

For a moment, I was dazed.

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole was crouching on one side, looking pained, while Lieutenant Colonel Audrey looked shocked.

“Stop! The fight stops here.”

I reached out and approached Lieutenant Colonel Nicole.

“Cough! Cough!”

“Is Lieutenant Colonel Nicole okay?”

Nicole stared at me with a frown on her face.

“How did you just dodge that? I thought you just grabbed my shoulder.”

“Aren’t you curious about how you got shot?”

“That’s also questionable. The momentary movement felt too fast.”

Lieutenant Colonel Audrey also approached with a surprised expression.

“What did you do just now? Your movements suddenly became faster. Should I say that there is no unnecessary clutter?”

“You, sir! You just shot me square in the chest.”

“Huh? I thought you could block it with a defensive spell.”

“Or I would have been hit in the chest and suffered like Lieutenant Colonel Nicole.”

Lieutenant Colonel Audrey shook her head slightly as if to say that it was not her.

“I shouldn’t confront you in the future. If I do something wrong, you’ll really get hurt.”

“That’s what I told you. I said that if you or I use all of our skills, we’ll get hurt.”

Lieutenant Colonel Audrey pursed her lips slightly.

“Anyway, you’ve been a great help to me. Now go down.”

My head is a little dizzy, I need to rest.

I guess I’ll have to analyze the match just now.

***

I couldn’t fall asleep easily because I had a lot on my mind.

The effects of tunnel vision were well observed during the day.

Although the narrow range is a disadvantage, it was able to deal with Audrey and Lieutenant Colonel Nicole at the same time.

And I could see the bullets flying.

If you can use it properly, it will definitely be of great help.

However, it seemed like I had to get used to being dazed after using a skill quickly.

And because mana drains quickly, you always have to check your mana level.

‘The problem is that even my movements are slowing down······.’

If I could move just a little faster, I could respond much more effectively.

The flying technique didn’t change no matter what I did, but when I used the body strengthening (lv. 3) skill, I moved a little faster.

Then, if I awaken the upper level of the body strengthening skill, I will be able to move faster?

Or, you can awaken the evasion technique and use it.

Let’s analyze the pros and cons and get a feel for how to use and develop the skill.

It certainly seemed like the tunnel vision skill would become my named-level exclusive skill.

The question, if there was one, was how effective it would be when fighting Chief Telfert tomorrow.

And Captain Telfert’s specialty was dual pistols and a sword.

Since you have to dodge the dual pistols from a distance and fight with the sword up close, you have a good chance of winning if you fight using the tunnel vision skill.

I pictured various confrontational situations in my head.

“Can’t sleep?”

Lieutenant Colonel Audrey approached.

“Why aren’t you sleeping then?”

Lieutenant Colonel Audrey shrugged and sat down next to me.

“Now, tomorrow I will be able to exit the labyrinth gate.”

“As long as the Arica Republic guys don’t interfere.”

“Actually, that’s why I can’t sleep.”

“I’m worried about that too.”

Lieutenant Colonel Audrey looked worried.

“Are you really going to fight them?”

“I don’t want to fight, but do you think they’ll leave us alone? They brought a bunch of us here to awaken their officers, and now that we’ve been robbed, they’re going to be really angry.”

“But if we fight, both our air magic knights and the other side will die, and many soldiers will be injured.”

“That’s right. I’ll take charge of General Telfert, and if you and Lieutenant Colonel Nicole lead your men well and fight, our casualties will be minimal.”

Of course, there is a way to avoid fighting.

Generate a dimensional gate and escape through it.

But that would have been like announcing to the world that I could create a dimensional gate.

My agents have probably noticed this by now, but the new agents didn’t.

And Franco and Stella, the two new recruits who entered the S-rank labyrinth gate this time, may have noticed.

Still, my agents were able to maintain some secrecy because they had the insurance called Mana-Hwan, but if we create a dimensional gate here, there will be no one who doesn’t know.

So that method was impossible.
