705. Qualification is simple

To conclude, it was possible.

It was possible to split the flame in two to create a fire sword, and the duration of the sword wasn’t bad either.

The one I made for lunch took about 8 minutes, and the one I made for dinner took about 12 minutes.

Considering the time from lunch to dinner, it seemed like the maintenance time could also be divided in half.

This is truly an incredible achievement.

Some may ask what the difference is between making an 8-minute sword and making a 12-minute sword, but that is not the case.

If you use magic twice in the conventional way, it is difficult to create and deliver a fire sword of the appropriate level at the appropriate time, and above all, it is difficult to concentrate completely.

Unlike Fire Mine, it is difficult to estimate the maintenance time of the Fire Sword, so you have to do your best at every moment.

That is, it is difficult to divide focus, effort, and time into morning and afternoon.

It’s not for nothing that I’ve only given Luna the Fire Sword once a day so far.

But now there’s no need to worry about that.

“Do you like this better too?”

“Yes. Oh, if I practice once like I used to, it’s fifteen minutes? If I split it into two sessions, it’s twenty minutes?”

“No, that’s not it.”

It was already spilled water. After showing the twenty-minute fire sword, there was no going back to the way it was.

“I can only give it to you once a day, in the evening.”

“Oh, that won’t do. I won’t be able to practice shooting arrows once it gets dark.”

“Are you in the mood to do it?”

“I’ll give it a try. I heard Roy does it too.”

“… … Don’t expect too much. I’m not good at it. I’ll try it after seeing Irina do it.”

“How good is Irina?”

“Well, I guess you’re pretty good at it.”

You can tell just by looking at the three arrows that Ward shot in the past while hiding, and it was even a dark forest.

At that point, it was clear that shooting arrows in front of one’s eyes would not be a problem.

“Should I ask them to come and help me?”

“No. I’ll try it on my own for now. I’ll get a feel for how it’s done by watching Roy do it.”

“I told you I’m not good at it.”

“That’s to be expected. Roy is good at everything.”

“I’m not good at everything. I’m especially bad at handling swords.”

I felt it keenly as I was shooting arrows.

To be honest, I was a little shocked. Because I thought he had some talent.

That’s because he learned the Sword of Fire. How could he learn the Sword of Fire without having talent for the sword?

But this was a mistake.

Rather, if it is a talent… … .

“Is the bow any better?”

“A bow?”

“Yeah. I guess I’ve been using it for a long time.”

“Isn’t the sword older now? I haven’t seen you shoot a bow much since I met Roy. Especially not once in a real fight.”

Now that I hear it, that’s true.

It’s been almost 10 years since I learned swordsmanship while I was in Atre. If you’re talking about the Sword of Fire, then it’s a sword.

In contrast, the lifespan of a bow is only about 5 or 6 years at most.

I still remember offering a deer with a broken leg and being given a small bow as a gift for hunting.

but…….

“But I’ll get better at using the bow.”

“is it so?”

“Yeah. What should I say? I don’t think you can make a living with just a sword, but I have a feeling a bow would be okay.”

“Oh, you said you’ve been hunting for a long time.”

“that’s right.”

That’s why I’m still good at archery even though I haven’t used it for almost 10 years.

At that time, he literally shot an arrow to avoid starving and getting hit.

What greater motivation could there be?

“Then, Roy, do you want to shoot an arrow tomorrow? I think you can block it if it’s Roy’s arrow.”

“That’s a bit dangerous.”

“Even though it’s a practice arrow?”

“Then what if it hits something like the eye? I don’t have that much confidence. I’ll show you the bow later.”

“When?”

“well.”

What if you could make a bow and arrow with Burning Hand and Fire?

If possible, I would like to show off a magician’s bow rather than a normal bow. Since Mila is here, I won’t be able to surprise Luna with just a bow.

I should try it sometime soon.

Of course, you have to shoot the arrow first before that.

“Don’t really expect anything.”

“I don’t expect it.”

* * *

“I was expecting it… … .”

“I told you not to expect anything.”

I was wondering if I could hit even one, but it was as expected.

Only after Roy let out a deep sigh did Luna comfort him, saying it was a joke.

“But can’t you just block it instead of swinging it?”

“Then you won’t be able to see ahead for a moment. As you know, it blocks your vision quite a bit.”

This is one of the drawbacks of the Sword of Fire. If you hold it like a normal sword, your vision is blocked and you can’t see clearly.

It wasn’t for nothing that I kept my sword hanging down and frequently raised it for a strike. It was not to look cool, but to secure a clear view.

“If you don’t know, just try it. You’ll know once you try it.”

When I made the fire sword and handed it to her, Luna immediately tried several poses and then looked at Mila with the sword hanging down.

Of course, it was only the beginning, and I continued to try various things throughout my training.

Still, the results were pretty good. He hit five of them.

Some of them blocked it by sticking their sword out in front or standing up, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t great.

It was hard to believe that this was a coincidence. At least it was much better than his own.

But his face doesn’t look satisfied.

He even asked if he could do it one more time.

“One more time?”

“yes.”

“I’m fine… … .”

Fortunately, Mila is also in good shape. Perhaps because she sees potential, she is quite friendly, unlike herself.

“Should I split it up? Or… … .”

“Just give it to me.”

“Then there’s no dinner.”

“are you okay.”

“good.”

Roy smiled and made her a dagger. It was nice to have a leisurely evening, but he was even happier that Luna had become interested in shooting arrows.

Wasn’t this the reason why I continued practicing even though it wasn’t working in the first place?

That means he no longer needs to shoot arrows.

Of course, I will continue to participate in the training. It would be a bit strange to leave Luna and Mila alone, and I would have to keep listening to their voices.

It’s a practice arrow so I don’t really get the feel of it, but it’s better than not hearing it at all.

Every time Luna fired an arrow, her understanding of the fire sword seemed to grow a little.

It felt as if Luna’s skills were growing stronger along with her sword.

Not a bad image.

No, now I feel like I’m on the right path. I realized I’ve been on the wrong path all along.

To be exact, it was wrong to walk alone.

The sword was no longer his own, so why did he struggle to solve the problem on his own?

Maybe I haven’t fully acknowledged it yet.

In his head, he thinks it belongs to two people, but deep down, he may still think the sword is his own.

And it was likely to continue to be so in the future.

Is there no way?

“Roy?”

“… … Let’s talk.”

“What? Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?”

“I’m talking about the fire sword. Let’s tell people.”

“Really?”

“huh.”

No matter how I think about it, this method is the best.

If you can’t admit it to yourself, you have no choice but to start with the people around you.

At this point, the fire sword is completely nailed down as Luna’s.

We were going to talk about it sometime anyway. I’m just bringing the date forward a little.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine with it. But why all of a sudden?”

“I just had that thought. I feel a bit bad about constantly being misunderstood.”

He also has ears, so he knows. There is gossip going around about the three of them going somewhere together.

It was okay when the two went separately, but it seems like it was a bit like that when there were three.

“Actually, I asked Tali this morning. Where on earth were the three of them and what were they doing?”

“So, what did you say?”

“I just shrugged it off. I can’t lie.”

“yes.”

But now that’s over.

When Roy returned home, he immediately gathered his colleagues into the backyard.

“what’s the matter?”

“I have something to say.”

“Yeah, I see. What I’m wondering is why we’re all gathered in the backyard instead of the living room.”

“It’s simple. I have something to say and something to show.”

“magic?”

“It’s both magic and not.”

“What does that mean?”

“Come and see for yourself.”

Roy smiled and brought the flame on his shoulder forward, transforming into a blazing sword.

As expected, my colleagues didn’t show much reaction.

Only Shugel opened his mouth wide. Only Shugel realized the difference between the sword of fire and the sword of fire.

Marie and Dread also seemed to know that they were different, but their reactions were not as violent as Shugel’s.

Of course, there was no need to mention the mercenaries who didn’t know much about magic.

“It’s a sword of fire, isn’t it?”

“Why is that?”

Instead of answering, Roy handed the blazing sword to Luna. At that moment, the mercenaries’ eyes changed.

“what?”

“You could pass the sword of fire to someone else?”

“That’s not a sword of fire. A sword of fire is made by Burning Hand, and that one is made of fire.”

“Is that possible?”

“As you can see, it worked.”

“How long does it last? How long does it last?”

“It’s a bit short. About fifteen minutes?”

“Isn’t that enough?”

“That’s right. I can kill twenty goblins in fifteen minutes.”

“I have thirty!”

Even after hearing the duration, the mercenaries’ enthusiasm did not cool down. Each of them indirectly expressed their desire to have a fire sword.

Of course, Tali was no exception. Her methods were also much more direct than those of the mercenaries.

“Give me a fire sword too.”

“no.”

“Why? Do I look inferior to Luna? Luna, let’s have a go at each other after a long time!”

Tali laughed and taunted Luna, while Roy watched quietly.

At first, I tried to stop him, but then I changed my mind. If I got involved here, the story could get a bit complicated.

The fact that Luna was the cause of this incident also played a part.

To be exact, it’s because Luna is weak.

Now that I look at it, it wasn’t just the fire sword that was lacking. Luna was also lacking in using the fire sword.

You can tell by looking at the arrows being fired and the reactions of the mercenaries and Tali.

If we substitute Irina here, the answer becomes clearer.

Would Irina have reacted like this?

Probably not. And that would have been the case even if Irina wasn’t an expert.

Irina is not strong because she is an expert.

Quite the opposite.

It’s not that you’re strong because you can use Aura, it’s that you can use Aura because you’re strong.

This difference is huge. The saying that people have vision does not only apply to magic.

Of course, Luna and Bulgeom are no exception.

It’s not that the sword should become the vision, it’s that Luna should become the vision.

And the fight with Tali will be the first step.

As expected, Luna did not avoid the fight. She confidently held out her fire sword.

“You’re not going to fight with that?”

“No. Just listen to it once.”

“what?”

“Roy.”

“uh?”

“Please cast Fire Endurance on Tali. From head to toe, and even her gloves.”

I was curious as to why, but for now I did as I was told. When I cast the Fire Endurance spell on Tali, Luna stepped back with her fire sword planted in the ground.

“Put this on and try pulling it out, just once.”

“good.”

As soon as Tali put on her gloves, she immediately walked towards the blazing sword and drew it.

But that was only for a moment.

“Ouch, hot!”

With a single scream, he dropped the sword. Seeing this, Luna smiled as if she had expected this to happen and picked up the sword.

“The qualifications are simple. The reason I have to hold the fire sword is also simple. Only I can hold the fire sword.”
