Tiana fell to the ground lying down, sweating.

"Neither can I... I'm tired"

"It's gonna get dirty. Look, towels. And water."

"Leave it. Just let me stay here for five more minutes."

"Well, I don't mind..."

This was the back of the restaurant Anemone of the Sea.

It was the same flow that Nick used to use this place as a training ground when he trained Kimen Ko (Stepping), so this time he talked about the translation and borrowed it. Nick and Aida, who fit into the store's women's baton, watch Tiana change into an easy-to-move outfit.

"Well, you can make a lady move."

"Well, I'm an adventurer."

"That won't be all. Even with the wooden sword, that's where you get laid."

On the side of the lying tiana, a wooden sword is rolling.

A little longer than Nick's dagger, which prioritizes good handling.

"For once, I learned it easily at school. I wasn't that keen on swordsmanship."

"The lady's gonna do the little one, too."

"A lot of kids need protection."

"So why didn't you use it before? From what I've seen, he only had a cane."

"If you can count on me to use it halfway, you better not use it."

"That makes sense."

I laugh at the pieces that Aida hears about it.

"But I have to pull that logic in this time..."

"Are we going to attack Thousand Swords Peak? That's tricky. I hear magicians have the hardest time over there."

"I knew we all seemed to recognize that..."

Tiana woke up her torso sighing.

Then pour the glass given to you by Nick and sip out the water in one breath.

"Sounds tough. Don't you have to be able to move like a warrior all of a sudden? Though I think the important thing is not to get hurt."

Nick nods at Aida's words.

"If promotion is the only purpose, I have a hand in resting only when attacking... Prepare a refrain to adjust timely attack members."

But to those two words, Tiana shook her head beside her.

"That would be a very fascinating idea, but it's just this time, right?"

"At least a duel has to take shape."

Nick arms up and roars with a difficult face.

Aida, who saw it, pounded and asked a question.

"Speaking of which, how are the other three doing?

"Training's diving into the Little Ghost Forest."

The three Karan, Zem and Kizna were acting differently and exploring the Little Ghost Forest. It's an exploration where Karan doesn't use dragon stunts, and Zem tied up doing avant-garde work. As with Tiana, this was also a conscious training for her actions at Thousand Sword Peaks.

"If you can train in the field, this is good. So, if you're a lady..."

"I don't mind you being honest with me."

Tiana prompted words to Aida that seemed hard to say.

"It's not going to be a force for war, but it's not as good as a foothold. It's like being forced to reposition, isn't it?

I don't know.

Tiana didn't snort at Aida's words.

"I might be able to if I just attack. But they don't know what they're gonna do."

"Was that your old master? Are you that strong?

"If it was a pure sorcery battle, it wouldn't be very, but it wouldn't be hostile."

"But you wouldn't be able to use magic there, would you?

"... that's right"

Tiana cut the words once and added the words "but".

"I really don't think you're doing anything. You'll never be stupid enough to storm the labyrinth without any preparation."

"You're a lot more confident."

"It's obvious. My master."

Hmm, and Tiana laughs confidently.

"Even the duel opponent, I don't know about that"

"Mummer, help me peel a little -!

"Aye, aye!... I'm sorry. I got a job."

Aida responded to her daughter's call and immediately returned to the store.

The two left were resting in subtle silence.

At this time of summer, the wind is warmer and more sober than sober.

Tiana's rough breath reached Nick's ear vividly.

"Ha... okay. In the meantime, you've done bareback and mock warfare. What do we do next?

"Don't push it too hard. It also makes sense what Aida says. The goal is to walk around Thousand Sword Peaks normally and to the extent that demons can prevent them from attacking."

"I am, though. But when you move it, it's a little refreshing."

"Refreshing? What, lack of exercise"

"I'm not. I don't know, I felt a little stalled."

"Stagnation, is that you?

When Nick asked with a strange face, Tiana replied with a bitter smile.

"I haven't done anything novel lately. It's important to do your job right now, but sometimes it's important to do something different."

"Sometimes you, you have an inclusiveness. Speak up. Is that your master's influence, too?

"... maybe so"

Tiana squeaks as she looks up into the sky.

It's sunny today. The laundry is hanging there.

Regardless of the wind and temperature, only the view is refreshing.

"I owe it to my master to have me now, in a way."

My favorite class at school was poetry.

Alex, the old pardon daughter-in-law... well, from now on I've been thinking about it, but I still only had the talent to write poems and the goodness of my voice. If you were also a bard (idol) of a man, you would have sold it. But I was born in the Baron's house to the prestigious eldest son of a mage, and I had no choice but to follow that path. My pardoning wife told me to study magic and try not to embarrass the daughter-in-law of your house.

So 'once', I did my best in magic. But it was only 'once'. After reading the textbooks given to me by the school, I mastered the practical instruction of the school as it was and also scored full on the exams at the end of the year. But I didn't think I'd study what was ahead from there. Ice and wind coming out of the tip of my cane was funny there... but isn't that a weapon after all? It's not like a bow or arrow or a sword, is it?

In the first place, I worked on magic to be a sorcerer's wife, not a sorcerer. I thought of studying it properly enough to keep up with the story of my daughter-in-law's house, but I wasn't thinking about using it in action at all. Mostly, isn't it a pretty pinch of a situation where I have to wave a wand and do some sorcery when I marry a pardon dowry and enter the home? You think ministers have staged a conspiracy, terrorists have entered the country, and there's nothing more you can do about it in the war? You're talking about "when I'm in a situation where I have to use magic". So you didn't think it meant much, did you? That's what I thought there was more to study and more fun. I mean, it was more fun listening to the song.

So, the school I went to has been in the system for five years, but in fourth grade, I have to choose some kind of master. So, under the guidance of the master, each is charged with a graduation exam. And once you've cleared it, you can graduate. Anyone studying law can get a paper on the law. Those who are learning poetry make their own poetry......

That's why I could have done anything. School is just a passing point in my life, and I don't particularly have what I need in my life. That's what I thought. So it didn't matter when it came to choosing my own master, or as much as I could choose in the presence of dice. That's what I thought.

But that's when I decided, of my own free will, to become a magician.
