Today and today, Reurus encourages sword training from the morning.

Ten days had already passed since I started using Dragon Slash for training, but the training itself had passed a month and a little bit of reuse, but I was starting to get used to training.

Whether it be a sunny day, or a cloudy day, or even a rainy day, every day of training. Especially on rainy days, training was more rigorous than usual, and the Reurus was so much worse than usual.

Poor visibility, hard to hear, weapon slippery due to rain. In addition, it is a training in a hostile environment where rain enters the eyes, blocks vision, and even prevents breathing.

Unable to fight due to bad weather, it's just a cry. Of course, fighting in the rain won't end, but Collard said if you experience it only a few times, you won't be confused when you encounter it in action.

It's been more than ten days since the drinking party with Natalia. Reurus is more enthusiastic than ever about training, and Collard opens his mouth satisfactorily to see if he admits it.

"Mm-hmm... originally there was enthusiasm, but the way I've been riding around these days is impressive. Is something wrong?

"Yeah, well. Kanji... Natalia told me to learn as much as possible from Mr. Collard."

When Reurus says so, Collard becomes a real face. However, his cheeks were drawn slightly and his gaze began swimming rapidly.

"What... what, are you listening to something...?

"Whether Mr. Collard was his former subordinate, or Mr. Collard was leading an army in King's Landing... that's all."

Hearing the words of Reurus, Collard put his arms together and leaned his neck small.

"Nuu... I don't know if I can tell you what's going on around here... or if this kid, the captain, is using me heavily... and telling me to tell you from the kid's mouth... if... no, but..."

Collard whispers with bumps. Reurus, who was taking a break and receiving water from Neddy, raised his eyebrows to hear Collard murmuring.

Neddy silently thought he had produced water for the cup and passed it on to Reurus, then held the hand wipe in his hand and stretched out to wipe the Reurus' forehead sweat.

"Have you known Mr. Collard for a long time?

"Mm? Ah... haven't you heard from around here? I used to work for him in King's Landing. Somewhat... um, somewhat, you've looked at me."

For some reason, Collard looks distant while sweating cold from his forehead. Is it the illusion of Reurus' eyes that his fingertips seemed to tremble slightly?

"I don't have my own attendant because I'm from the abandoned city, so somehow I came to talk to you. All of a sudden, the baroness of the quasi baron's house... stood under a girl who had no adults..."

The trembling right hand is gently attached to the stomach, but Reurus tries not to see it.

"... did you have a hard time?

"There's no hard work in the world... that's all I have to say."

Collard's face seemed to be soaked.

"Mr. Kanji said, if there is no shield and the distance is far away, I am confident that Gilba can win... what do you think of your former subordinates?

"Don't you dare talk to me like that! Yeah! That's it!

Then Reurus asked, and Collard stopped talking in a hurry. And you take the training sword instead of saying the break is over.

"Continue your training! Ah, Neddy... No, leave Miss Neddy alone. And Reurus! Why are you sweating!?

"Eh? No... that's what Neddy did..."

Collard shouted angrily at Neddy as he stretched out and struggled to wipe Reurus' sweat. But as soon as you take a deep breath and calm down, you start murmuring with your right hand covering your face.

"Why doesn't Jilba stop... because it's Jilba..."

Reurus looked worried, wondering if he would be all right with Collard murmuring. Neddy listens to Collard, retrieves the glass Reurus was using, and runs away.

After seeing Neddy behind him, Collard shook his head and took many deep breaths. Then she regained her mind and stared at the revulsion.

"Well... um, that's right... I've trained you at least, and I care what the captain says. This is....."

He nodded convincingly as he looked at the Reus from head to toe.

"I've been watching your training like every day for the past month. That's why I have a trick I want to give you today. If you can use it, it will probably be a pretty effective trick."

"Is it a trick?

"Hmm... but I don't have a big name for that either. There is a small craftsman like you who is as deadly as you and still seems to be suitable for those of us."

Is it a skill or a fine workmanship? Reurus nodded with such doubt.

"First of all, I want you to have an actual experience. Use a training sword, not a big sword... but a 'fortification'. As I am unfamiliar with the way I fight, I may fail to edge."

But I was a little surprised by the words of Collard that followed. I understand the skill to a certain extent in the past month, but I thought it would be a long time before Collard could fail to edge.

"... if it's dangerous, can you tell me what to do in advance?

"That's no good. It is better for you to experience it without knowing anything."

While saying so, Collard pulled the sword out of his sheath. Then, thinking about holding the sword on your right shoulder, lean forward and lower your hips.

It was a readiness that Reurus often took.

"If there is anything I can say, I will show you how you fought before. Add one hand to it,“ what you don't have. "First of all, if you want to avoid this attack, you need to take it, you need to like it."

"I see... then, please!

Reurus also pulls out his training sword and takes his stance. However, because I was in a position to take an action, I stood in the middle as usual. Then use "Caloric Release" to wait for Collard to move.

"Now let's go... oooooooooooooo!

As Reurus takes a stand, Collard roars from the bottom of his stomach and steps into the ground with a momentum to sink. The sword held in both hands was swinging with a great deal of energy and momentum.

Ugh!

A big, cluttered, yet powerful blow. In a loosely visible view using "Caloric Release", Reurus is judged to be beaten and broken with a training sword, and moves sideways to avoid slashing.

Nuuuuuuuuuu!

The moment Reurus moved sideways, Collard's sword jumped down. Whether Collard used "Enhancement" or whether Reurus expected to avoid sideways, the blade could be cut up immediately.

Swing down your sword with all your heart, and if you can avoid it, lean aside to hold it. That's a tactic Reurus often takes. If there is a difference, would a revulsion cut into the ground and lift the entire soil?

From there, there is a battle between Collard, who even makes a slash, and Reurus, who dodges it and occasionally plays with his sword.

Collard's slash is always a big one. Therefore, Reurus can deal with it in time, and roar in his heart.

(When Collard taught me, it was really terrible.....)

The weapon that swings is not the Dragon Slasher, but the Slasher is slower and lighter than the Reurus' Full Force. Still had a good understanding of what he was doing and Reurus raised his eyebrows.

Collard may have gone to great lengths to make it resemble the movement of Reurus, but the sword, which was shaken heavily, stepped in powerfully but roughly, and his gaze above all told him where the killer was aiming.

A sword that has no feints, but is simply shaken by your physical abilities. It could be called a natural Rigid Sword if viewed favourably, but with skill and courage, Reus understood that it would not be a major threat.

However, if you use Caloric Release with the help of the "contract" and wave Dragon Slash with all your might without suppressing the killing, the result will be different, but Reus will not notice that much.

(But what the hell are you going to do with this?

He said to add “something that is not in the Reus” here, but what is it?

With a few doubts, Reurus continues to slash Collard. Avoid what can be avoided, accept what can be received, and try to pass it on so as not to damage the sword if possible.

Reurus and Collard keep moving for a minute. The sound of gold meshing with a blade in the woods sprinkles sparks many times.

The way Collard fights is as big as ever, but as he slashes, he gets stronger and stronger. Reurus moved calmly with a sense of killing and continued to prevent Collard's slashing.

(Swing down from the top... horizontal swing... another horizontal swing... now cut up from the diagonal bottom...)

Avoid slashing shots that are fired in a blurry manner by slightly pulling yourself back. Now that the sword has been swung up, we have no choice but to swing it down.

(I see, it's really easy to understand when you're strong at killing -)

My monologue is broken. “If you notice," the shock ran on the left shoulder, and Reurus hit his buttocks so that he could be pushed by the shock.

"... eh?

A few seconds later, Reurus leaked a stunned voice after realizing that he had hit his buttocks. He wore leather armor and used "calorie release" so there was no pain, but the shock was completely unexpected.

"Mm... was it right to let me use 'Enhancement'? I can't edge in time."

As you can see, Collard is murmuring with his sword in the air. Then he slowly took his stance and exhaled, and put his sword in his sheath, and then gave his right hand to Reurus.

"I didn't feel a broken bone... are you okay?

"Eh, ah, yes... it's okay..."

Tasting the feeling of being stuck by a fox, Reurus stood up with Collard's hand. And when I looked at my left shoulder, the leather was slightly dented by the slashing.

"You look strange... surprised?

Collard laughs and asks to make fun of him. As Reurus nodded many times, Collard laughed with satisfaction.

"Gahahaha! Nice catch!

"No... what did you just do?

I remember until Collard shook up his sword, but the memory from there is vague. So when Reurus asks honestly, Collard taps the sword pattern.

"What I've taught you in the past month. Instead of waving in vain, I waved down my sword with the minimum amount of movement I needed... but I tried to kill myself."

With that, Collard lifts the edge of his mouth and laughs.

"You knew exactly where you were aiming for death? Besides, he repeated the same move over and over again before launching his last blow, beating him to death. If suddenly the killer disappears and the movement changes, the recognition doesn't catch up."

That's what Reurus remembers.

From the previous movements, the slashing that Collard would make was clear enough to be clearly imagined in the back of his brain. It was repeated many times with similar slashing, and the closer it was to predicting the future, the more clearly it predicted the movement of Collard.

In addition, I did not realize that Collard's movements had changed because the killing spirit that had been beaten up until then had vanished. It was captured by sight, but the brain and five senses did not react.

"In your case, you are far more lethal than me. It may not be possible to erase it completely, but if it can be manipulated to some extent, it can be a“ one-hand ”in battle."

"Wow... this is going to work just fine..."

Reurus that can be convinced that it is purely “skill”, not how to swing the sword or how to think in battle. At the same time, I was hoping that the skill would also lead to the upper counterpart.

"No, I don't want to be overconfident there. As I said earlier, this is nothing but a handicraft. It would be a great help if you met him, but he could only see it for the first time and see it through your movements."

"... is that so?

"Mm-hmm. But you can be spotted. Until then, what was obviously being shaken by force turns into something that makes the technology feel surprised... and then the opponent is also alert. I doubt there's anything else I can do."

Even the moves Reurus admired today, Collard says, should be shown.

"I wish I could take it out with a single blow, but even if I take it off, I'm alert and slow. That way we can move more freely. Tie up the other party's choices and increase our chances of getting it... there's a way to fight with them."

I can only nod to Kohllard, who concludes like that, to be convinced as a revus. Collard laughed proudly when he saw such a realuse, putting his hand on the sword pattern.

"Remember when you're waving your sword... hmm?

But by surprise, Collard turns his expression into something serious. Reurus, who noticed it, tried to speak up, but before that, Collard lay down on the spot and eared on the ground.

"... three... no, four... five... not that fast..."

Collard closes his eyes and sees something. Collard stood up and opened his mouth to Reurus, who was alert to what was going on.

"The sound of the hooves... the number is probably five. Judging by the interval between sounds, I'm not in such a hurry because the speed isn't so high...."

While saying so, Collard diverts his attention.

In the direction of that gaze, there was the abandoned city of Laval.
