Alright, I'll teach you swordsmanship from now on, so please come out to the courtyard.

In the classroom where Director Danton's study time was finished, the graduates of the orphanage who had become adventurers in the capital came in.

The young boys sat down together and went out to the courtyard after the adventurers, but there was a figure of Phine in it, and I didn't want to stay in the classroom alone, so I was caught and headed for the courtyard.

About fifteen children went out to the courtyard to receive swordsmanship guidance, and most of the boys who were close to graduation had only me and Finn under the age of ten.

Each adventurer was given a wooden sword.

"Alfine, is it okay to participate in the practice of the sword?" Dean Danton was surprised, too.

"I mean, Finn's in it, and I hate being alone in the classroom..."

As I was discussing with Hiso and Finn, an adventurer came out with a wooden sword in front of me.

I can't afford not to take part in the training because I have a chance to do so.

Receive the offered wooden sword with Finn.

The wooden sword was merely shaped into a sword by sharpening the wood, and it was an object that could not be said to be a good thing in flattery.

With such a crude wooden sword handle, an unprecedented sense of wonder and consciousness was sharply sharpened through the body.

What? This? This is the first time I've felt this way!? When you hold the sword, it feels like it's gushing with strength!?

Yes, well then, it looks like the wooden sword has gone over to everyone, so please try to hold on to it.

Goodbye, I try to have the same stance as an adventurer.

The senses were sharpening further, and I felt that the flow of time was slowing down.

Alfine, are you okay?

While holding her position, Fine called out worried about me, which was hardening.

"Ah, yeah. It's okay. I feel really good about it."

I-Is that so? Well, that's fine.

"Well then, just shake the wooden sword up and straight down." Now, try it. "

As the adventurer swung up his wooden sword, he swung it down.

The tip of the sword makes a sound that cuts through the air, making the body light as if it had been let loose from its weight.

This sensation! Awesome! Your body moves freely!?

"Ah, Alfine!?"

"What? What? Finn? What's wrong?"

"What's the matter, that's what I want to hear!" Why can you punch in so sharply!? "

"Why, I just imitated that adventurer." Is there something wrong? "

At some point, the gaze of the people around me was concentrated on me, but I didn't feel any anxiety about Finn being nearby and holding the sword.

"It may be the first time I've felt so good..."

Wielding a sword might be a lot of fun.

Once again, I stood in the same position as before and swung down my sword from above.

”Wow... you're amazing. At that age, you're holding on firmly, and your body is shaking without blurring out from the upper section”

The adventurer who was a teacher also looked at me and his eyes were dotted.

Could this be something amazing? But it's something that everyone can do normally, right?

"It's not fair just to be seen by me, and I want to show Finn how to do it."

Huh? Yeah.

Finn, who was prompted by me, waved his sword down from above in the same stance.

After all, Finn is just like me.

It's not like I can do it specially.

"That kid is pretty good, too." It's your first time holding a sword, isn't it? "

Um, well, this is the first time I've had Director Danton forgive me.

Yes, I'm just joining Finn's escort.

Obviously, the older men were surprised by the sword clasp we showed them, but Finn was able to do it, and it seemed like it would be easier.

"The other children should also be careful not to beat the younger ones."

With the voice of the adventurer, the older men waved down their swords.

I'm not dressed better than Finn, but it looks like we're all doing fine.

Nevertheless, it was fun to wave a sword.

My unpleasant gaze stopped bothering me, and my anxiety disappeared when I was waving my sword.

When I stood up again, like the other children, I continued to swing down the wooden sword from the upper stage again.

"Hah, hah, I can't get my arm up anymore..." Why does Alfine look so cool? "

Finn showed tiredness in his gestures for over a hundred times, breathing roughly and thrusting one knee onto the ground.

"I'm not tired at all." Swinging a sword is fun. Are you tired, Finn? "

"I'm not tired at all." I can shake even more! "

Since the other children had been gesturing more than fifty times, they had pushed their knees to the ground.

Why are you so tired from such fun? I wonder if you're putting all your energy into it for nothing?

It's just a matter of relaxing and swinging.

I looked at everyone with a tired face with a strange feeling.

"Yes, so that's it." Guys, you're tired of lots of wasted energy, aren't you? The only girl who doesn't seem tired is that girl. "

Huh? Me?

"Yes, you were the only one who made the most useless gesture." Is this really your first time waving a sword? "

I could only nod to the adventurer's question.

I've never held a sword before, and I've never waved a sword before.

”I see... maybe there's a genius in the world”

The adventurer looked like he was convinced of something by himself.

"Well, but swordsmanship isn't just a skill." Next, let's meet with us in a format close to actual combat. Everyone, we're done for the break, so get ready. "

"A meeting..."

Actual combat format huh. Do you mind if I take it seriously? "

Finn glistened and looked at the adventurer.

If there is a meeting, there is a possibility of injury.

It hurts, doesn't it? We have to do something so it doesn't hurt.

I decided to hold the wooden sword in my hand and participate in a live-fighting meeting with the adventurers.
