"I'm passing... I thought I'd exempt him from the apprenticeship a little bit. We're gonna do a mock fight now."
That being said, Mr. Nevan hoists his mouth and smiles a little badly.
Indeed, in the Adventurer Qualification Examination, there should have been a system where a candidate could start with the E rank, a junior adventurer, with a special exemption from apprenticeship, if the candidate clearly exceeded the strength of an adventurer apprentice.
Adventurers are ranked by their abilities.
Except apprenticeships are out of rank, which is the form in which the rank rises with D, C, B, A, S, starting with the E rank.
However, about 30% of junior adventurers in the E rank and 50% of intermediate adventurers in the D rank make up the majority of adventurers, and it is not so easy to become a high ranking adventurer.
On top of that, adding C-ranked advanced adventurers and B-ranked second-degree adventurers would make it about 20%, but those adventurers tend to move to the right city for the adventure, so there's very little in a small city like this Rhiano.
When that number is less than 1% of all adventurers, such as A-ranked first-level adventurers, it is difficult to meet them in and of itself.
By the way, to the point where there are only a few S-ranked premium adventurers in the world, it's so hard to meet them than a dragon that they make it a booze seat story.
Of course, even if I'm looking for the rank above, the apprenticeship waiver is fascinating, but it was more appealing to have a high-ranking adventurer like you play examiner against a mock fight than that.
So of course I was going to take it, but Mr. Ridley puts me on hold on that suggestion.
"Yeah!? What are you talking about!? Are you a bully, grabbing such a freshly grown child! No bullying. Absolutely!
"Hey!? You're not a bully! This guy is really awesome!
"Awesome... Mr. Tris, it's small for an adult, and you're not a wizard, are you?
Put your eyes on my hip sword.
The wizard seems to be a big part of it due to his talents, and many kids have been active since he was younger, regardless of his physique or age.
But I have a sword on my hip.
So in me, small and not a wizard, I guess I decided that mock warfare was dangerous.
Well, I can use magic for once.
I really just use it (...) though.
"He's got magic all over the first floor, too, right? Well, magic sounds like a good year's worth."
Yes, it is.
Sure, I can use magic.
But I worked hard every day with Brother Serrow, and in the end, all I could do was use first-floor magic to the end.
For some reason, trying to activate magic made me feel disturbed and could only activate simple magic.
Well, if magic can still be used, adventure can help a lot, so I desperately practiced and managed to remember all the magic on the first floor, and I have a demon sword, so I'm not dissatisfied.
Incidentally, something called magic is divided into four attributes: 'fire', 'water', 'earth' and 'wind', each magic being divided from the first floor to the third by its degree of activation difficulty.
Some of them are 'holy' attributes that only the Virgin can use, or 'light' attributes that only the Brave can use, but of course I can only use four basic attributes.
Besides, an adventurer and recognized as a wizard comes from someone who can handle second-floor magic.
The reason for this is simple, because effective magic in combat exists only from the second floor.
"And magic... and magic is normal, does that mean that swords can be handled quite well?
"The sword is obviously not the type of punch you could make yesterday. I still don't know how far your arm is, but that's why I'm trying to figure it out in a mock fight."
After listening so much, you convinced me that Mr. Ridley had finally given me permission for a mock fight.
Two swords for training were taken out of the warehouse, and Mr. Ridley, who had held them, handed them to me and Mr. Nevan, respectively, and quickly moved away to the wall.
"Mr. Nevan, I will allow a mock fight, but please do it right! I don't think you'll get hurt much with that sword, but if you do, you can't say you're unharmed!
The sword that Mr. Nevan and I now have is a training sword that crushed a blade with shock-absorbing effects.
These swords may also be demonic swords in a broad sense, but swords made by a person's hand are often ineffective or have limited effects, and are not commonly referred to as demonic swords.
"Wow."
"Then Mr. Tris. If you think it's dangerous, you're gonna get it right, right? A truly brilliant adventurer doesn't get hurt."
"... Huh? What is it?
I enjoyed the mock fight a little too much, I wasn't listening.
"Already! How come all these bloodthirsty people say adventurers... hmm? Mr. Tris, aren't you disturbing me with your hip sword on? Shall I keep it for you during the mock fight?
"Not out of the way!!
Ugh... I reacted to the word (word) "interrupt" and shouted out loud...
"Ho ho!? Well, that would be nice..."
"Goddamn it... Ridley, is it time to start?"
"Waka... Rima... I did! So, are you both ready?... Getting Started!!
I put up my sword, and it conveys that this man is strong just across the street.
I've always studied kingdom swordsmanship with Brother Fine, but Mr. Nevan's manners don't look like those of those who are learning swordsmanship.
Probably a sword I worked out for you in action.
Even though there seemed to be a gap, all I could see was a future to be struck back if I were to punch in there.
But still...
"Ha!!
Step in with the mood of tearing, and first, honestly just swing it down from the front.
"Huh!? Better than earlier, not at all!? Hey!?"
Seems a little surprised, but still slightly half-body, my sword was beautifully flushed.
As it is, it breaks down my attitude, so if I take one step further and kill the sword in between, I will take my distance and re-compartmentalize it as Mr. Nevan dislikes it and falls back, too.
"Liar!? Isn't that really amazing?
Mr. Ridley is surprised by my sword arm, but honestly, I'm a little sorry because I didn't think it would be so perfectly recirculated.
"That's my strength now. Next... let me challenge you in action!
Step in at once with that proclamation and fill the distance, and you'll use that momentum to unleash a thrust at your elusive chest.
"Seriously awesome!? But it's still sweet!!
Mr. Nevan, however, shifts my thrust to the momentum of the step by simply placing the tip of his sword on top and returning his wrist.
The intent to punch three steps broke my attitude because I was completely recirculated and stopped in one step.
"Damn!?
When he forcefully pulls back the received thrust, he manages to take the flash of the horizontal giraffe down the tip of the sword, turns the sword vertically and slashes it, but this is also said.
From there it was one-sided.
All of my sword flashes were flushed, and the obviously attenuated blow could not be avoided, and I finally took it and prevented it.
