"Elka, you are strong... but there is something decisively missing as a soldier"

"Duh, what do you mean!

That's what I ate and hung up on the captain.

I became a trained soldier in order to become a soldier of the Distinian nation.

Being a woman's body, but having the talent of a sword.

That in addition to that, there was also a magical talent.

I didn't want to end my life with just a village daughter, and I don't think it was that strange that I was supposed to go for soldiers.

"Your sword talent is number two, followed by Grain, who is trying to extremes only the sword. Magic talent is second only to tiers who are also trying to extremes magic only. With those two things in place, you can't lose if you do a mock fight. Achievements are overwhelming and hold the best seats. Big deal."

A soldier captain who doesn't usually praise people praises me.

There's no way I'm not happy.

That's why I wasn't convinced.

"If...... why can't I be a soldier!? I can be a grain or a tier! Why!"

……

I was unable to graduate as a trained soldier this year.

I'm the only one who can't fight as a soldier from next year, even though other trained soldiers, people who do less well than me, are also graduating.

I don't like the fight in itself.

If you can't fight, that's fine.

It's just that my talent has woken up in the last few years of training and to some extent my pride has swelled, I really learn to catch on.

"- If you want answers, come to the training center later. I'll tell you everything there."

"... ok"

I don't seem to be willing to teach here right now.

I reluctantly agreed, and decided to leave the spot behind for one second.

◆ ◆ ◆

Time progressed, anticipating the time, and I took to the training ground.

The training ground surrounded by walls is large enough to stand up for swordsmanship.

The walls were lined with training swords, and shields and armor were erected.

I miss it.

I've shed tears, blood and sweat here, too.

"Are you here?"

"Warlord..."

At the center of the training ground, the commander stood.

I learn to question.

Why is the captain looking at me with a murderous eye?

- Let's go.

"Eh."

The captain kicks the ground and packs the distance in an instant.

Being stuck by surprise, I turned away reflexively.

The captain's sword passes where my upper body was until then.

"Nooo!

"Oh!

The Captain's sword is what we call a buster sword that must be handled with both hands.

Powerful, and long.

Dropping off the sword that passed directly above me, I jumped as far back as I could.

Because I could see the captain lifting his sword, leaving it to his arms.

Seize the sword that is swung down at high speed with your sight, then rinse it and dodge it.

A few hairs danced through the universe.

"Well avoided!

"Ma, wait..."

No, he's definitely coming to kill me.

The slain sword made me fear.

Do I have to, do I get hit?

The captain sticks out his sword.

I lay down my body, bending my body to the nine letters and dodging.

It's a combination of simulated battles during training, often beaten by a soldier captain.

But it's so much prettier than when you train.

Naturally, he must have handled it when he was training.

But if I were you now...

"Ha, ha..."

Cut off the sword, swinging it swiftly.

Avoid falling back to protect a critical distance.

And.

(Huh! There it is!

Feel the feel of the object I was staring at in advance on my feet, and I jump it up as much as I want.

"What!?"

It's a sword.

Grab the sword that jumped up behind you with one hand.

Standing beside his body as he stood, he recieved the sword of the imminent captain.

"Ha!"

When passed on, naturally the sergeant's posture collapses.

That's a chance I'll never miss.

In the empty torso, slap the sword in.

Knock... in.

"Huh!"

"- - Sweet"

But unexpected things happen.

The captain was grabbing my sword with one hand.

So it was serious and it was slaughtered, so there's blood coming from the hands of the captain who's taking it.

Seems to have taken it only one hand away from the two-handed sword and fortified it with magic.

Rough work I would never have, if I failed, they would have taken my hands as they were.

"Don't you see what's missing yet!

The captain turns to me upset, wielding his sword.

One hand.

I'm waving my two-handed sword up with one hand.

That's all I can say about a sergeant.

It's just not if you respect it.

If you don't run now, you're dead.

The sword is strongly gripped and cannot escape as it is.

I had no choice but to take my hands off the sword and quickly distance myself.

The two-handed sword just passed, and the wind pressure hits me.

"Run away!

"What!"

The captain threw the sword he was grabbing at me at a distance.

I was shaking my body with wind pressure, and I couldn't get it to work.

I twisted myself, but I felt a sword in my shoulder.

"Damn..."

Stitched to the back wall as it is, hitting the back against the wall.

He leaked his breath and looked at the pain.

I feel a fierce fever on my shoulder.

As you move your body to escape, blood flows from your shoulders with pain.

"What... so..."

"If you don't want to die, resist"

The captain is standing in front of you.

Now he was waving his sword with both hands.

It dies.

In this place, without even being able to graduate from training?

(I don't like it...)

I'm scared to death.

I don't want to die.

If...

"- Kill!"

I put magic into a sword that stabs me in the shoulder and freezes it to the core.

And as I moved my body with force, the remains of my sword were scattered along with the crushing noise.

The shoulder wound shall remain frozen and used as a first aid.

"Huh!

The sword swung down.

I don't hesitate at all and jump in the direction of the Warlord.

"Nooo!?"

As I turned forward past the captain's side, I rushed straight out.

The goal is a sword lined up near the wall.

Without weapons, it is impossible to fight the warlord in the front.

Whatever it is, it's the sword first.

"No kidding!

The captain comes after me from behind.

It's okay, I'm a little bit better if it's fast.

Reaching the sword that was erected, I grab the sword that was closest in position.

And threw it straight at the captain.

"Little...!

The captain plays it with his own sword.

A metal noise sounded.

I'm just a checkmate already.

"Huh!"

"What-"

I had another sword in my hand.

And in the form of hiding in the shadow of the sword I threw, I am rapidly approaching the captain.

I think I noticed, but it's too late.

My heart is quiet.

I was in a terribly calm mood when I said I was about to extinguish the Sergeant's life.

It's like my heart is freezing.

"Please die"

"I can't believe it!

The protruding sword can be stopped with the Sergeant's sword.

But that's it.

The moment the sword and sword meet, each other's swords freeze.

And at the next moment, just like the sword I had just seen, it splattered with the crushing noise.

"It's over."

I'm the only one who knows it will break.

For that reason, I was the one who could move quickly.

I was jumping in without hesitation, putting ice together in my hands and creating a simple sword.

It's covered with magic, of course.

If you stick it out like this, you'll be able to poke it at the captain.

I did it without hesitation.

The aim is the heart.

I went for it and stuck my arm out.

"- Brilliant."

- The area where the sword actually stabbed was the right chest.

I haven't touched my heart.

Looks like the captain moved his body and dodged it.

But it is clear that the battle is over.

The Warlord can't fight anymore.

You're done.

"... grain?

On our side, Grain showed up.

Especially if you take charge of the captain without saying anything, you walk straight out of the training ground.

We need to get the captain to the infirmary.

The captain says nothing.

Apparently, he's passed out.

"It was a good fight. I've been watching from the outside."

"- I am"

Why couldn't you graduate?

I asked Grain.

In the end, I didn't see why I couldn't graduate on this occasion.

I guess I'll keep this topic until the captain heals with healing magic.

"... Elka is too kind."

"Huh?"

Grayne spoke without looking at this one.

"I don't know if you mean to be ruthless. Even in the battle earlier, the settlement was supposed to have been made when the Sergeant's sword was shed. If you hadn't hesitated there, the captain wouldn't have been able to grab the sword. The Captain was worried about that part."

……

I couldn't say anything.

Because it was a star.

I wasn't conscious.

No, I guess it's poor quality because I wasn't aware of it.

"But the last offensive was different. Intention to kill - No, you didn't even have the intention to kill me. It was like all the other emotions had been removed, and it was like just fulfilling a purpose. Why all of a sudden?"

"... I don't know. It just felt like my heart was frozen all the time."

I don't feel anything now.

But until just now, I was, anyway, cold.

"I think your kindness is also an advantage. So we don't want you to lose it. But I think that feeling will be the weapon of the future Elka."

"Huh..."

That said, Grain took the fine paper out of his nostalgia.

Keep it up, you'll hand it to me.

"'If you take me down, give it to me,' said the captain. Happy graduation, 'cause."

"... Yes"

I got it.

You fought me for your life, thank the Warlord.

◆ ◆ ◆

"How... how did the fire go out!?"

……

Leviathan roughs up his voice.

The look on Elka's face, who suffered until just now, is horribly quiet.

It is as if it has been frozen.

"The Spirit of Cold Blood" - now my heart is frozen "

Elka doesn't have any emotions at the moment.

It can be said that it is close to a deified seth.

Her purpose is to kill the holy sword in front of her.

"No jealousy, no anger, I don't feel it now"

"Because I no longer have feelings of jealousy... you mean the flames are gone!?"

Elka puts her hands quietly on her own chest while keeping her cool.

"" Limit Break "-"

The temperature in the area drops all at once.

The explosively released cold air froze everything from the ground to the trees.

"Ice Demon Spirit Peak."

She was, exactly, the reigning man on the ice.

No heart, or Leviathan's flaming momentum weakens.

"Knock..."

Leviathan takes a step back.

Meanwhile the temperature dropped even further, and Leviathan felt the cold on his skin, even though it was burning.

"Let's finish it. This happened to me, I never enjoy it."

"Yes, I'm curious."

"Ice Prison."

Elka sticks her sword to the ground.

Then Leviathan's feet swayed and a huge ice column appeared around him.

As it is, the roof is created by ice, completely besieging Leviathan.

"Don't think you can lock me up in a cage like this!

Leviathan slaps his fiery fist against the pillar.

But...

"Huh... why..."

The moment I slapped my fist, the tip made a noise from Leviathan's elbow and broke.

Leviathan lags back as he sees the wreckage of his falling arm in pieces.

"What happened..."

"Do you know that there are limits to low temperatures?

Elka speaks from outside the cage.

"No matter how much the temperature goes down, it stops at one point. It's commonly called absolute zero. My" Breaking the Limits "is..."

- - Take away the limit value of its absolute zero.

"Oh, oh!

Leviathan's body begins to tremble.

The momentum of the flames, there is no more shadow to see.

Feet freezes and crushes.

Leviathan fell to the depression.

Then, my body sticks to the ground.

"The downside is that only the part enclosed in this way can lower the temperature... well, you'll hardly even hear your ears anymore, and you don't need an explanation"

"Ugh..."

Leviathan can only leak groans.

Finally, even the flames that were stuck around his body froze.

"Sleep unnecessarily in freezing cold air."

The ice cell breaks.

To the falling ice cubes, Leviathan was crushed.

The sound of ice crushing around.

The flames of jealousy lit up, never again.
