Kanna no Kanna

Episode 74: C Rank Proficiency Test-His biggest weapon ...

The examination hall that came. The venue was close to the guild's registration test, or duel with Lukis, but much larger.

"This venue is designed for large-scale magic, and it's sturdy enough to be easily destroyed unless it's a strategic magic."

I gave up running away and I was released from Ansara and walked after him. Chloe and Uncle are accompanied, provided they do not disturb the exam. This is a good opportunity to see the few battles of rank A. Or do you want to see me miserably ragged?

There was already a guest at the test site. It's Synadie.

"Kanna and Ansara. I have been waiting for you. I will be the witness for this exam. I'm also a therapist just in case, so please fight as much as possible."

I can do it ...

The opponent is a strong man who reigns at the same rank as that Real. The strength is encouraging if you fight side by side, but facing from the front seems suicidal. It is not very, but there is a question whether the battle will be satisfactory enough to be called “existence”.

"The content of the proficiency test is simple. We will ask you to fight and we will end when Kanna can not fight or when I or Ansara multiplies" Wait ". , And if I and Ansara judge that they meet the standards, the exam will pass. "

After a brief explanation of the rules, she went a step back.

"Mr. Kanna! I'll do my best!"

Cheering from Chloe waiting in the corner of the venue. Barhardt, next to her, crossed her arms and was looking seriously at her. I was on the lookout for not overlooking even one behavior of the battle that started.

"Kanna-kun"

Ansara, confronted in front, says, pulling out his long sword.

"You don't have to hide your" hand "as you would at some registration test or in a duel dispute. It's a good idea to use your full potential, otherwise it makes no sense to do this test "It's a good idea to hide your hand. It's a common practice, but there's no hand that can't be cut without getting lost when you need to cut it. You can think of them as a great place to try them. "

Holding the long sword at the right eye, his whole body is relaxed, but strong "war intentions" are flowing. There is no explosive pressure like Real, but on the contrary, deep and heavy air has come.

At first it was a reluctant test, but it has finally come this far and has become positive. To what extent has your strength reached at this stage? A-rank adventurers should make a decision directly.

For as long as no means of returning to the original world has been found, it will take care of spiritism for a while. I haven't been able to meet Real recently, and it's not bad to know how much I can be used to now.

He said while checking the condition of the brace on both hands and feet.

"One ... I have a request." Can I accept it? "

My best is to exert spiritism more than enough. Then everyone at this place will notice that spiritism is another "heresy" than magic. Because no magic power is put in anyway. So that's not the case, but there's no denying that problems could arise from it.

"Okay. At the very least, I need to report to Riedial, but I swear I won't leak it to anyone else. Are you bothered by Sinadi?"

No one objected.

Once I got the consent, I took the blue gem that I had previously used as a non-magical tool from my bosom. He created ice from that point, embodying the familiar large ax.

"Isn't it violating the rules to have weapons in advance?" "I don't mind, but please refrain from producing more than one."

I had prepared an ice ax in advance for the duel with Lukis, and I knew it would not be a problem.

If you confess honestly, you want to put as much "preparation" as possible when fighting against a superior opponent, but give up. The minimum move has just been completed. All you have to do is think while fighting.

"Now, please set up both."

Sinadi gently raises one hand.

I held the ax in both arms and narrowed my eyes so Ansara could concentrate.

Well, let's do a quick review here.

The one who gives the answer later Ansara's two names are "". I can tell from Barhard's past battles. It is a tactic that uses the long sword and the "small shield" equipped on the left arm to determine the enemy's movements and then makes an accurate counterattack.

In other words, dare to attack the enemy and return a deadly blow.

I understand the ring of the opponent. The first important thing is not to step into the ring of the opponent.

Put your strength on your arm with an ax. Squeeze the arm that holds the top of the handle down.

And.

"Please start!"

At the same time as Synadie's hand is shaken down.

"Wow!"

Secret technique-"Weapons are throwers"!

The weapon was thrown without hesitation at the start of the test.

If you add the power of the spirit to the minimum strength, almost no motion can release too much power. No matter how good your insights, if you don't see the “occurrence” of your actions, your coping will be delayed.

While Ansara is handling the thrown weapon, she flies backwards to form my playing field, "Distance". This is the strategy.

However, the A-rank adventurer's actions slightly broke my expectations.

Ansara stepped on the ax that had been thrown in front of her, gently parrying with her sword. As if from the beginning I knew I would throw an ax.

"Hmm, that's as expected."

Ansara steps further, affirming my imagination. The distance I was trying to get away from it was getting smaller. As I entered the long sword interval, my long sword was shaken by me, who was trying to fly backwards.

ー ー ー ー Baggintsu.

The slashing at the left unarmed upper arm was hampered by the reactive ice barrier that was being prepared. Aside from Ansara who opens her eyes slightly, I am blown away with the slashing momentum.

Despite being shaken by the shock, I rolled on the ground and managed to keep my distance from Ansara.

--- The plan was quite different from the plan, but it was a success only to keep a close interval. It is painful to lose one reaction ice barrier early on, but should you be relieved that this is all you need?

"... Isn't it a self-acting magic type? The higher magicians tend to have less defense, but that doesn't apply to you."

Ansara muttered immediately without scrutiny, but muttered as I was impressed.

The number of ice cones to be realized by raising both arms is about fifty.

"Well, Kanna. Don't be so serious ..."

I'm really serious, Chloe. It was quickly understood with the first move.

If you think you're behind or first, you're cut off immediately. If you do not create this pace even if you force it, it will end in an instant!

"All bullets, sweep all at once!"

Fire all ice cones to cover the "face" instead of the "dot."

"Did you judge that you can avoid it by aiming at one place? Not bad, but sweet."

Ansara did not show as much sway as the swift ice cone rain and stepped on a slow step.

"Well, that's just that attack."

Barhart was amazed at the scene that happened in front of him. Ansara "walked through" the ice cone rain, with a gentle step as if to walk.

"It looks like you've increased the number too much. There was no control and there was a slight gap left.

No, it's impossible!

And, I put in my heart.

"Well, it's not over yet!"

The ice created by spiritism is under my control until the spirit's blessing is removed. One of the ice cones pierced into the ground behind Ansara-an order to the spirit that stays there, aiming at Ansara from behind.

"Shoot behind the enemy without hesitation. Apparently there is no sweetness in mind. It is a superposition."

Ansara will not turn around and willingly avoid the ice cone coming from behind while saying contentment.

I had no choice but to see it.

In fact, one shot aimed at behind Ansara was my favorite. Precisely, a sweep of the ice cone would provoke agitation, and a single shot from behind would allow more time. However, in fact, the simultaneous sweeping of the ice cones is surprisingly avoided, and even a single shot from behind has no effect.

(I don't have enough time to think !?)

I haven't even considered any further developments. All the precautionary measures to make time for thinking have been crushed without effect.

In normal times, it's just a matter of working hard to push or harden your defenses.

"I can't give that time."

Ansara stepped in again, uttering words that anticipated my heart. I spread the area by putting ice on the backs of both arms and strengthening my defenses. The fast-moving swords are caught on the oversized back. Thanks to his stiffness, he wasn't bounced off like he did the first time, but he didn't have enough to fight back.

ー ー ー ー Baggin!

Repeated slashes pass through the back of the ice, and the reactive ice barrier on the right arm is effective and shatters.

"If you look at the situation, it's disposable. Then, you can continue to attack the same part.

………………… Have you identified the weakness of the ice barrier?

From that point on, the ice barrier on the right foot and left flank is broken. If it is crushed any more, it will not be able to defend.

"I can't do it!"

After receiving several more slashes from there, I let the ice's armor pop and hit the grave with Ansara. Ansara escaped most of the impact when flying back, as if she knew when the armor could pop, and rushed into the ground when she landed.

If you don't earn distance and time anyway. I throw ice shuriken while backstepping. Ansara, on the other hand, did not slow down the speed of the stepping, and used a small shield and a long sword to blow all the approaching ice blades.

Ansara who is thin again. A blade approaching from the top. The same thing can be repeated if you get caught in a close slash. There are few remaining crystals at the reaction ice boundary.

(I don't really want to do this!)

I put all my energy into the spirits that drew on the ice back of my arms.

Answering his will, my body is carried at a stretch backwards by the ice on both arms in a "pulled form". Movement with speed than simply jumping backwards. Ansara could not respond to this, and the long sword was cut down.

"Well, this is tight ..."

When "Aerial control" of both arms is released, dullness runs through the throat and the core of the head.

In a nutshell, it is the same as embodiing and firing an ice cone in the air. Is it easy to imagine if my body was stuck there?

The ability to move the ice with my body by using spirit spiritism has been proven by the recently developed technique "Ice Board". However, compared to operating the ice board in advance by kicking the ground and accelerating, it has shifted from almost zero to top speed now. Since there is no initial speed, consumption of mental power is also intense. In a car, it's like putting gear first and skipping second to top. Is burdensome.

This is a workaround that I came up with during a food walking tour, but it is a useful technique that can be used in an emergency but cannot be used frequently.

Nevertheless, he managed to get the most distance so far.

(I have no time to think afterwards)

I embodied a giant sword in the air and thrust it into the ground with momentum. At the next moment, the ice sword mountain wave was activated and swallowed the floor of the test site.

"Is it no longer pretending to be pretending?"

Despite the waves of Kenzan, Ansara was calm everywhere. He jumped vigorously when he bent his legs on the spot. He jumped over the waves of Kenyama, which protruded from the ground in a wavy manner, and landed well with one foot on the tip of Kenyama, where the "wave" had already ended.

Too unexpected. The ice sword mountain wave is a technique in which Kenyama protrudes sequentially from the starting point of the technique toward the target. In other words, the power of the technique is the highest in the front row of the wave, from which the wave has already ended and the rest is almost stationary. If you land there, there is theoretically no attack power.

But who is still, but who will land at the sharp tip of Kenzan? There is no sign that the sole is made of a special material, and there is no appearance of sword mountain stabs, nor does it slip off the balance.

He jumped again and reached above my head.

The effect of the depletion of the spirit, or the body does not move to avoidance action. Emergency evasion using ice movement has no spirit. Nevertheless, I immediately turned my left arm to the sky, expended my mind, embodying an ice cone, and fired at Ansara.

However, Ansara goes beyond my expectations even to DOKO. He grabbed a small shield on his left arm, removed it from his arm, and threw it away in a discus manner.

The halfway point between me and Ansara, the ice cone that I fired and the shield that Ansara threw, collided, and both were shot off in a different direction. There's no one blocking me and him.

And.

----!

"That, gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!"

One sword of the big upper row, which was swung down from the sky, cut my left arm up.

Burning pain is transmitted from the cut surface, and screams are emitted from the mouth. Naturally, your feet lose their strength and your knees touch the ground.

Ansara, bathed in the fresh blood that blows out, slowly rises from the appearance of her sword, and she spills blood glue from the sword and puts it in a sheath. He turns his back and walks to pick up the shield that has been blown away.

"Shindy, he's going to treat him."

Ansara's gaze moved to Shinadi.

My gaze towards me was completely off.

No way, I didn't expect it to be such an overwhelming development.

Rather, "up to here" went too smoothly.

Having acquired a powerful weapon called spiritism, the enemy who appeared in front of him could be repelled in any way. There was no doubt that I had a feeling in one corner of my heart, "I'm not surprised."

However, this is still in the opponent.

It is a promise that it will grow rapidly during the battle and defeat the strong opponents. But, sadly, I don't have the foundation to develop that "promise". The only thing that can be done is "that genius".

In this way, the end is to be exhausted with blood in front of the "strong man".

---

……… Normal spiritism can be avoided with Ansara's reaction speed.

………… then you have to make ice in an unusual way.

Fortunately, "Material" is being released.

………… If you freeze it, you can do the fastest and most powerful attacks.

............ Taka is the test. It's not about betting on life.

However, it's not interesting to say that you keep being done ...

I forgot after a long absence.

My biggest weapon is neither spiritualism nor a surprise operation.

ー ー ー ー ー ま で 足 ま で ま で ま で ま で…………………………………………………………………

(I haven't heard the end signal yet!)

Eliminate the severe pain with more energy,

"Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

This time I used all my spiritual power to call on the spirits.

An scream erupts unintentionally and the consciousness of Ansara who was out comes back here, but it's too late!

He had already turned his left arm towards his surprised face.

Left arm, cut off.

Fresh blood from there

"Frozen" the blood flowing in the air.

Become a blade and release it to Ansara!

"Gupoo .........!"

The red blade digs into Ansara's cheek.

The same color as the damaged blade ran out of the scar.

(The wound that I made until my arm was cut was one of my cheeks)

With a great deal of regret and a little little satisfaction in your heart.

This time I lost consciousness due to severe pain in my arm.
