A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 246: Master Part 4

It was a Reurus who started learning swordsmanship under the guidance of Collard, but the process wasn't going well.

By moving away from Eliza and Sarah, there is no "strengthening" by magic through the "contract". You can't use "Enhancement" yourself, but if you use "Caloric Release" in training, your magic will soon run out.

The adventurers of the past year have been muscular in their businesses, but without the help of the "contract", the sword - not far enough away from the human being to keep swinging metal lumps around for a long time. Compared to living as a serf, there is a difference in cloud mud, but there is no strength to keep fighting for a long time.

Therefore, it would be natural for Collard to knock you down every time you train.

I've been instructed by Collard for three weeks now, but I haven't been able to bathe a single dagger.

Reurus' sword is sometimes played, sometimes pardoned, sometimes emptied, and he has never been able to capture Collard.

It was Reurus who had been waving his sword since this morning, but his whole body was already sweating. I was tired, my arms cramped, and I was running out of strength.

(Every day I think... this guy is really strong...)

Reurus looked up at the blue sky with a rough breath. He was thrown off, rolled over the ground, and couldn't get up.

(No, I'm just weak...)

While gazing at the clear sky from the edge of the forest, Reurus groans inside.

Collard is clearly superior in his physical abilities and skills, as well as his combat experience. The way in which authentic technology has accumulated to fight is stunning from the perspective of amateur revulsions, and the addition of the various players cultivated in battle makes it impossible to reach their hands or feet.

If you think you were meeting with a sword, your fist or kick will fly. If you pay attention to the blow, you will attack with the sword. If you are conscious of the sword again, you will strike again - and now you will be blown away with a rush (tackle).

At one point, I was forced to step on my foot and lose my posture the moment I jumped behind me and tried to open my distance.

At one point, he was thrown with a sword, and while he was playing, he was thrown over a distance.

At one time, I crushed my eyes with sand, at one time, I was about to crush my hands that were holding the pattern in the middle of a struggle, and at other times...

(... there are too many drawers on how to fight... is it so much trouble for a knight?

Reus raised a white flag in his heart for his diverse tactics.

Of course, this is just about training. If it's a real battle, it's a different story. I'm impressed with Collard's way of fighting, but what if we kill each other?

― ― In addition to the help provided by the Contract, you can use the Caloric Release to win.

Reurus thinks so, but if he turns his back, he won't be able to win a mock fight no matter how hard he scratches. If we were to fight, we would be able to push it off with a simple "power difference”, but we didn't know how much it would hurt just to win.

"Hmm... it's about time. Then let's take a break."

Collard calls out to Reurus, who can no longer stand up. Collard is a little short of breath, but he doesn't look as tired as Reurus.

The training sword that Collard held in his hand was not the one he held on the first day of training. It is a long stick that stands on a spear.

Does Collard train himself, or does the weapon change with the day? It may have the purpose of letting Reurus experience how to fight with a variety of weapons, but if the weapons change, the way they fight will also change. It was a very troubling story as a revus that could only use a sword.

"At the same time... uh... now that you've taught me so much, you were talking about getting advice from the name of talking to yourself for the first time.

Collard smiled bitterly when Reurus hit him lightly with a break.

"It's really about time... I'll ask you the other way around, but answer as if you've taught me so much. Do you think you can understand magic with just words?

"That's... impossible."

"Would it be? There may be geniuses in the world who can understand just words, but it's quick and sure to knock them in directly."

That's what Collard talks about, but most of the training is in real combat. It is the stance that we actually meet with weapons and point out problems every time.

I pretend for a moment, but I only do it instead of a preparatory exercise.

"I know what you're trying to say, and I appreciate that it's just helpful, but I can endure a bit of unilateralism... I just need to learn a little bit about technology."

Now I'm going to change my view of the Gregorians.

Gregorians who have fought before appear to have acquired excellent skills up to the end of the line.

There are areas where swinging the sword is not enough for physical abilities, and “it” is fatally incompatible with Reurus.

"What a stupid thing to do... I know a lot about the skills I've learned in about three weeks. Would you have communicated the policy first? I'll scrape the“ waste ”out of your way of fighting."

But Collard laughs at Reurus' concerns.

"I did not fight directly, but Gregorians... it is in the realm of mastery no matter what one thinks of reaching the bishop. That would be the equivalent of Rebecca."

Reurus does not have the ingredients to deny Collard.

"I will surmount countless dead lines and slaughter many powerful enemies in the talent of the talent that I have accumulated since I was a young man. We're in the realm of finally getting there."

Collard adds, "It's an area I can't reach," but his voice doesn't have negative emotions.

"But is the training we're doing here wasted? No. You can't win by scratching your feet? No. If you can defeat an opponent just by winning with technology, no one will have to struggle. First, the audacity to adapt to the situation of fighting at the risk of life, pure power, including 'strengthening', technology is next."

As I told Reurus, Collard was proficient in handling a variety of weapons. I suppose he tried to be “overall” stronger by going through various ways of fighting.

"But you've already experienced battle. As far as power is concerned... it will be the best in this country. The Reinforcement you use is such a substitute."

So for the first time, Collard praised Reurus. Is it Reurus' mistake that the voice had a little envy color?

"It's also true to learn how to deal with a variety of weapons, but in your case, you can be even stronger by eliminating wasteful bluffs. You can't help it if you're dealing with a big monster, but you're just tired of waving people around every time?

While saying that, Collard suddenly waved down a stick with a reel rolling to the ground. Reus, who noticed it, immediately rolled over the ground and fled the scene, and jumped out with a rough breath and stood up with his sword.

"Hmm, it's good not to be alarmed under any circumstances... but would the sword be heavy? If you keep fighting, your body gets tired and slows down gradually. However, if waste is reduced, it will lead to health conservation."

Collard held a stick that looked like a spear in the middle, and laughed at the tip of the stick as he pointed to the revulsion.

"This is the end of the break. The spear's arm has been dull lately. I'm going to have my rust removed."

Reurus shook his sword desperately against the attacking Collard.

And that night, Reurus invited Collard to a Dominic restaurant.

Apart from the reward for the training, he also invited me to dine as a daily thank you.

Collard was reluctant to go back to Laval when the sun went down, but he agreed to return the palm of his hand to tell Reurus that he wanted to drink as much as he liked because he wanted to. Collard is strong in swords and weak in money.

"But what... seeing the stores that I know flourish like this makes me feel strange."

Collard, sitting at the table opposite Reurus, looks at Dominic standing in the kitchen and says so.

Speaking of which, did you know Ooi-san?

"Hmm. Little bit when Dominic was an adventurer...."

While saying that, Collard looks around somehow ill-defined. It's not so noisy as to call it hostility, but the gaze of observation is coming from all over the place.

The sun has already set and Dominic's restaurants are crowded with customers. But Collard, who is a "redundant” person on the spot, really draws attention.

"Ah... this guy and I know each other, so don't worry about eating the mess."

When Reurus said that to the surroundings, the waves pulled out and the gaze that he was pointing at Collard fell off.

"I'm sorry, I should have bought food and alcohol and taken her home."

"... no, I think that makes my shoulders narrow."

Suppose you were to entertain Collard at Reurus' home, you would be surrounded by Eliza, Sarah, Meer and Neddy. As for Kohllard, I would like to refrain.

"Do you have time to invite me to dinner? I wonder if those girls are waiting at home?

"I asked Neddy to leave a message, and occasionally he just stretches his feathers between men... Besides, it's okay to eat at home after eating here.

"I see...."

In fact, using "ideological calls" allows you to get in touch with Sarah, so you don't have to rush home. As expected, Reurus laughs and deceives, not wanting to reveal Sarah's "contract" to Collard.

"Oops, looks like you've got a mesh. I'll have some wine with me."

Rising to deceive, Reus headed for the kitchen.

An outside person, Collard, is here, but Corona usually works because she knows Dominic. But it was so crowded that I decided to go and get it myself.

"... hmm?

It was a revulsion towards the kitchen, but I stopped my feet when I heard a screaming voice from behind.

Looking back at what happened, there was an unexpected figure there.

(Is that it? Isn't that you? No matter how much dinner time it is, it is unusual to show your face to this store.)

Natalia came into the restaurant after the adventurer's reception was over.

Not only Reurus, but also the people around him wondered, all of them with strange faces.

As Natalia looked around the store, she smiled a little as she gazed at Reurus. But I lost sight of him without saying anything, and now I saw Collard.

"Mm? Me... ahh?

Collard immediately noticed Natalia's gaze as if she was feeling the air in the store. Then he inclined his neck strangely, but his eyes gradually opened.

Collard stared at Natalia's face like he saw something incredible.

"Ha... ah, eh... why are you here...?"

Say hello to this place, Collard.

That's what Natalia said and smiled at Collard, who opened and closed her mouth.
