Legend

Intense sunshine, completely different from the impression that it is still autumn sunshine.

The season has just shifted to autumn, but the heat that should still be called overheating relentlessly drains the health of those who are moving their bodies in the courtyard.

"Ahhhhhhhh!

"You're gonna eat that blow!

Claymore, larger than normal, is swung down in momentum as if to crush the air.

I don't have an extra look on Luzzi's face. Since training began, all confident attacks have been evaded.

It's a blow, as I was told once before we started the simulation, based on the premise of stopping the inches. Therefore, although not all efforts in the true sense of the word, it could not have been interesting to me as I continued to be evaded from all attacks.

However, Claymore's blow, waved with the thought that this is the time, cuts the sky without being able to touch the target.

Because the blood was rising on his head, after a waved blow, a gap could be formed...

In the next moment, you look back at your opponent with the thought that you can't believe it when you see his protruding long sword tip stopping perfectly with your own neck muscle.

... Yes. Rodos with the long sword in his hand.

"Wow... I can't believe Luzi got taken by his hand. You know, the orcs have the power to just shut it off."

Watching such an exchange, Veicul groans as he scratches his hair up, even though he says it's incredible.

Luzi is the biggest attacker in the fangs of a wind dragon. That's why I trusted you when it came to that offensive power, and I thought you couldn't beat most of your opponents.

Whatever Ray asked us to train this time, he's been trained by that Ray... I mean, it was totally unexpected that Rhodos' strength was so high that we were in the same position as ourselves.

"There's also compatibility. Luzi, who specializes in one-shot specials, would certainly be strong if he dealt with monsters. That's definitely above Rhodos in the sense of dealing with monsters purely. But if you're dealing with people like this fight, you can't just do with the power of a single blow. That's what you need to do to avoid attacks or hit them."

As Ray squeaks watching the current battle near Vacul, Mosto, who was listening nearby, opens his mouth in wonder.

"Sure, our main enemy was a monster, but we're pretty much fighting bandits, aren't we?

"Bandits. Sure, it's likely that some of the bandits will have some arm's length... but you think they have the same strength as Rhodos, who have been mock wars with me?

"It was... No, it was certainly our pride."

"Right. Besides, I'm glad you realized it before you actually noticed it at the martial arts competition. Well, whatever that is. There seems to be a tough compatibility issue with Luzi alone, so next up is a mock fight in Rodos with two Veiculus and Luzi"

That word out of Ray's mouth raises a dismaying voice.

The source of the voice is Rhodos.

"Hey, wait a minute. I'm dealing with two people just about anything..."

"You also need training to deal with a large number of people. Especially since qualifying is like Battle Royale."

"It's..."

I guess you admitted Ray's words made sense, too. Even if you say something, stop that word on the way.

"You seem to understand. Then I'll train with the Mausts, so start the mock fight."

"... I get it."

"Next time you can't lose!

"Am I going in between those two? There's nothing but anxiety."

Dropping each one off to start a mock fight in a distant position whining, Ray then turns his gaze toward Mosto, who was on his side.

"That's why we wizards train in wizards."

"Wizard, is it? Speaking of which, it does seem that the name Deep Red became famous because it created a giant tornado of flames in the war and caused enormous damage to the Bestian Empire. But you don't seem to have a magic activator?

I guess I'm pretty confident in the wand I have. Mosto asks Ray as he strokes the wand.

In fact, Maust's wand was made from Trent's branches, which lived for nearly 50 years, and his performance as a magical activator was also with origami.

But Ray shakes his neck sideways toward such a most.

"It is only natural that magic should be given the highest priority over being a wizard indeed.... Well, although robes are the only thing I wear in my case, I'm actually right about being a magic warrior who specializes in mid-range to close-range combat. And there's something I can advise you about because I'm like that."

"What?

"First of all, I can tell you against those who use bows, not just wizards, but those who are predominantly attacking from a distance are basically weak when approached. Needless to say, I know who I am, don't I?

"... yeah, that's well"

The stature of the nodding most is not so different from that of Ray. Is it somewhat large?

I guess I read the thoughts of such a most from my expression. Give forward the right hand that was wrapped in a dragon robe.

In his quest for a handshake, Maust responds as he leans his neck inside.

And the severe pain of running.

"Guh!"

Painful screams leak out of Mosto's mouth as if his palms were to be crushed.

Ray, who confirmed it, immediately releases his hand.

"Got it? Even if that's an extreme example, you can't use magic aggressively when you have pain. Besides, even using magic requires chanting. Well, in the case of wind dragon fangs, they are well balanced with the avant-garde, middle guard and rear guard, so normally I guess there's no problem... when you go to a fight competition, you really need to deal with them when they approach you"

Turn your resentful gaze at Ray's words as he still waves his painful hand.

"I know, that's about it. Something that would be easy to understand if you said it in words..."

"It's only when you actually experience it. There's only one hundred stories at a time, and one hundred stories at a time."

"What is it, that?

"You're more certain to see it with your own eyes once than to hear it a hundred times, and you're more certain to touch it directly once than to see it with your own eyes a hundred times.... so, let's get back to it. Can you use a bow or something?

"No. There's no relationship that way. Or is it a bow, even though it's how you deal with them when they approach you?

Ray flaunts his shoulder in a small way to Maust, who tells him with a look like he's not convinced.

"I'm not asking you to use the bow for proximity. However, it can be quite convenient for a wizard to use a bow simply to double his attack."

Past Ray's brain telling that is Elf's fielda who took a rank-up exam to Rank D.

Ray was surprised by the variety of methods of attack that used magic with the bow. Most of all, it was spiritual magic, not normal magic.

"I do understand what you're saying. But holding a bow besides this wand would be impotent. You need to use both hands when shooting a bow in the first place, and then you need to let go of the wand. For me as a wizard, letting go of this wand is nothing more than suicide."

I have to nod to Maust's words, Ray.

If you have physical abilities like Ray, or use both bows and canes, you might be able to do something about it. But Maust is a pure wizard, with high physical abilities as an adventurer compared to the average person, but still does not extend to physical opponents like Luzi and Veicul.

(I hope it's a crossbow kind of thing... I've never even seen it before)

I had already spent more than a year in this Elgin, a guilm on the periphery with many rare monsters and materials, the largest harbour district of the kingdom of Mireana, so many items of emotion, a ray I had spent in several cities, starting with the labyrinth city of Exil, but I had never seen a crossbow.

(If you keep the arrows loaded, you'll release a powerful arrow. Of course if you consider it used by a guy as small as Maust, I guess Crossbow needs a small object too...... no, can't you say I can't? Besides, I sure didn't see it before, but that's not why I looked around at the whole Elgin thing. Maybe there's plenty of chance it's made somewhere.... I could have made it if I knew the structure or something)

When I was on Earth, I lived in the country, Ray. It's not like it's in the bow section - the bow section didn't exist in the first place - so I never had a chance at all to use a bow and arrow, and naturally I only have half the knowledge of a weapon as much as it came out in games and novels when it comes to crossbows.

There were still some opportunities for cooking, so that led to results such as udon and okonomiyaki.

If I can't help it, I shake my neck small and sideways.

"Surely you can't use a bow with one hand. Then it is a weapon that can be used with one hand, and it does not take a place? Then this is it."

Whimpering, what Ray took out of Mystering was a dagger.

"Huh? Yes, now...... Could it be an item box!?

"Hmm? Oh. Didn't you know the area? That's right, the item box. More than that, see. I'll do this."

Apparently, among the rumors about Ray, he didn't know about the item box, and gives him a dagger to the blatant Maust.

It was the battle on the Seremus plains that spread deep red rumors in the Bestian Empire, that is, the winds of the Great Sickle, Fire Whirlwind and Griffon, with the Bestian army at the centre of what was heavily damaged.

In that sense, I guess there are many biased rumors unlike the kingdom of Mireana to which Ray belongs.

In fact, rumors that Ray himself is quite a giant can also be something that spread around for a reason.

"Uh, uh... uh... can I have this dagger?

Maust, who managed to rebuild it, asks, but Ray nods that he has no problem at all.

In the first place, the dagger I gave Maust was not the type of magic item Ray was collecting, it was just one of several items I had for stripping monsters of material.

(Magic item...... I guess the Empire of the Bestia Empire has quite a few items)

Alchemy flourishes to the point of creating such a presence as the Warcraft Soldier, so naturally there must be an assortment of magic items.

I agree, Ray, but going outside the inn in the current situation was problematic in many ways.

People in the name of Dusker escorts or hostility toward themselves. And the existence of a bell of the soul. If you think of them, you are not going to imitate the kind of disturbance you cause yourself in the present situation.

The aim is to attract the attention of the upper level of the Bestian Empire, but if there is a disturbance here, it is possible that if you do poorly, you will not be able to participate in the competition itself.

Why don't you buy Maust some magic items? I thought about it that way for a moment, Ray, but shopping is only fun if you choose and convince yourself to buy it, and you can find the kind of digging.

"Mr. Ray?

Thinking like that, he returns to me with a voice from Maust.

"Sorry, just think about it. So, what was it"

"So can I have this dagger?"

While Ray was thinking, I guess Maust also recovered completely from the shock of seeing the item box Ray had. Ask without putting that shock on your face at least.

"Hmm? Oh, right. It's a dagger for sale everywhere, so you don't have to worry. You can keep this little weapon in your robe for now, can't you? You can use it later when the enemy is approaching, or..."

Quickly throw the dagger removed from the mistering again.

The motion stopped to the extent that the tip of the dagger was slightly stabbed in the trunk of the target tree for throwing without so much effort, but Mosto still opened his eyes slightly in surprise.

Throwing a dagger is not so rare in itself. Most people acquire it, even if they are not necessarily skilled as bandits.

I had seen Veicul use it several times now.

At the same time, there are quite a few who wear them as warriors.

Luzi did not possess the skill of that hand, but he had seen it several times before in his life as an adventurer.

Note that throwing in this case does not simply mean throwing weapons. It's a skill that can be thrown so that a dagger's cutting-edge can pierce the target.

"It's unusual for a wizard to have the skill of this hand"

"I guess so. But that's the kind of awareness that's spreading, so I poke at the other person's intentions. You're a wizard, so make a point you don't have a dagger or any other weapon.... Well, throwing takes a lot of time to get familiar, and most importantly, if you practice here, you might get complaints from the innkeeper."

While telling him so, Ray pulls out a dagger stuck only a few centimeters into the trunk of a tree growing in the courtyard, pointing its cutting-edge towards the morst.

"I'm not used to teaching people, so all I can do is fight in action. See, get used to it rather than learn. Call me."

Thus, Mosto held a simulated battle against Ray, who was a wizard and thought to be a bandit.

... As for Maust, I would have liked to have trained in magic if I could.

Thus the time of two days will pass, and we will celebrate the date of the martial arts tournament.
