A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

"Haaaaaaaaaaaa!!

"... hmm, I wonder if it's still sweet"

When I catch Shelley's sword, I take it lightly. Incidentally, the invisible sword "Invisible Blade" is not used now, but a normal broadsword is used.

"Hah... hah... hah... I wonder what's wrong..."

"Hmm. Something's wrong, but I can't translate it... it's hard..."

"... if Julia doesn't know, I can't help it."

"No, I'm just like an amateur as a teacher. My way of fighting is a little special."

Now I feel like I'm dating Shelley's special training. I am tired after training, but I want you to go out with her on special training, so I am going out with her on the ground. I'm still tired because I'm out in the danger zone almost every day, but I can't help her.

But the situation is not good. I can't explain exactly what to do with Shelley's sword... In the first place, my combat style is dominated by the invisible sword Invisible Blade. Invisible advantages, high-speed sword fire with only a knife in mass, and even an overwhelming amount of material coming from multiple origins. In the end, it is not something that ordinary people can teach and it is not helpful. Basically, Shelley is no longer in the realm.

"Hah... I don't know what to do..."

"Ah... well... I don't think Broadsword is right for you..."

"Eh!!?

Turn to the person who makes a noise. There stood a woman with bright, burning red hair. My gaze is higher than mine, and it's sluggish. [M] But this guy... somewhere...

"Ah... Julia... it's been a long time..."

"Ah! Eh, you're the second-ranking person in the sequence!!

"Ha... yes... uh, I'm Bertina Wright... well, I'm also in charge of the Seventh Frontier City... ah, please call me Bell... by the way, the rank is Colonel... you know, I'm 32 years old... hello? Hee, hee....."

Speaking of which, I heard that there will be another superior vs. magician in the Seventh Concord City, but I'm a little surprised that I don't think there will be a second person in the series.

"Thank you very much. Um, Mr. Bell... so why are you here? It's almost bedtime now....."

"Ah... I just arrived... and I saw the two of you training... greetings... and a little... ah, advice... ah, were you uncomfortable!? Oh, I'm sorry!

"Well, it's okay! Besides, as long as I'm happy to be seen by the second-ranking people in the sequence! You see, Shelly?

"That's right! Of course you'll be fine!

Me and Shelley will follow Bell to the fullest extent possible. Somehow, I don't think I'm confident or humble enough to rank second in the sequence. But personality has nothing to do with it. This man is ranked second in the rankings among the Premium vs. Mages. Her opinion will certainly be helpful. That's what I decided to dig into earlier. [M]

Um, Mr. Bell. What do you mean, Shelly doesn't have a broadsword?

"Well... it's kind of a sensual story... but Shelley... thinks that the sword is right... I have a long arm... and I'm swinging faster... so it's better than a broadsword... hmm, it might be right for you..."

"A sword... a sword?"

There is a clear difference between a sword and a sword. The sword uses its weight to "slap", but the sword assumes that it "cuts" with a sharp blade at the cutting edge. However, there is a problem with the durability of the thin blade and the blade is prone to leakage. Therefore, the handling of the sword requires considerable skill. Especially against monsters.

In my case, the invisible sword "Invisible Blade" uses the nature of the sword, but it can be activated many times, so there is no problem with durability, and there is no need to think about the blade spill. Normally, however, most people hate that flaw and use swords. But Shelley has a sword for her. This would be a helpful observation. At least it's not bad to practice with a sword.

"I see, the sword... the sword... what do you think of Julia?

"I think so. I don't think it's a bad idea to try new weapons."

"Ah... if you don't mind... will you watch my sword dance...?

"Eh!? Are you sure?!

"Ha... yes. No, that's fine...."

Belle's weapon in second place in the sequence is a dagger, I suppose. A dagger that is a flexible, warped knife. The sword is more than one meter long. And when she pulls out the dagger hanging on her waist... she traces the sword dance along with the shape.

"Wow...."

"Yeah, this is... the second place in the sequence..."

I was just overwhelmed. Everything is sophisticated with every single shot. From how she carries her body, to how she shakes her dagger, it's clearly beyond the realm of ordinary people. And when we look at it in a daze, Mr. Bell's sword dance ends. [M]

"Well... how was it?

"Wow, wow, wow!! I've decided!! Become Belle's apprentice!!

"Eh... so you're an apprentice...? But I'm... oh, I'm so bad at talking... and teaching... well... please..."

"Please! I want to be strong!

Shelley lifts her head without pretending. I'm sure I found something in the sword dance just now. Intuitively, I realized it suited me. That feeling is important. I also feel that the invisible sword "Invisible Blade" is suitable for me, and I still think so.

In this way, Shelley became an apprentice of Bertina Wright, the second-largest in the sequence.

◇

"Hmm. It was a bell."

"Yes, I ran into him last night."

"So, Shelley is my apprentice... can you make it into a bell?

"What do you mean?

"I mean, Belle's not a bad mouth. And I'm not sure. I don't think you can teach people anything. I have a blunt cousin."

"Hahaha... it's spicy... but it's in second place in the sequence, right?

"... has Julia ever really seen Belle?

"No, it's the first time I've spoken to you yesterday."

"Belle is amazing. Especially since they have about 10 special swordsmanship moves called secret swords... I'm shaking. When I first saw it,"

So, that's it?

Lunch break. Me and Ella were eating curry in the dining room opposite each other. And I was talking about yesterday... and I was pretty serious about the senpai atmosphere. Doesn't Bell rank second in the sequence to Date... No, I don't doubt it, but it's hard to imagine that great swordsmanship from that personality.

"Probably the strongest fighter in a three-meter radius. I can't imagine Bell losing at a super close range."

"So much for senpai....."

"Is Julia okay? I think it would be helpful to see Bell's swordsmanship."

"Hmm, I don't want to disturb Shelley right now. I'm sure she'll grow even more."

Hmm, it's a companion thing.

"Well... I had a lot of special encounters with Shelley. I want to help you."

"... ahh!! I'm going first!

When Ella scratched the remaining curry at once, she lowered the dishes.

"Eh... did I do something?

I continued to eat curry slowly, but it remained a mystery that senpai became unhappy. [M]
