Living in this World with Cut & Paste

"Now, let's start a mock fight! Thank each other!

This is the first battle that doesn't use skills, albeit mock warfare.

Is it from nervousness, or I can tell your mouth is strangely dry.

The opponent is Karl, a young man expected by the Knights.

I have no idea what way to fight just the first person I see.

By the way, my brother-in-law also forbids me to use [appraisal/all].

So judging by the information that comes into your eyes alone, you have to fight.

Mr. Carl's weapon is a spear, which also has a long spear on his right hand and a short spear on his left.

... [duplicitous] Is it a skill?

But this fight forbids the use of skills.

That shouldn't be just me, but Karl should be the same, so it shouldn't be a skill...

Regardless of my confusion, the Knights Commander signals the start of the battle.

"Start the fight!!!

Mr. Carl slowly shrinks from me along with the call. [M]

"Pfft, Lord Mine, you seem confused, don't you? The battle has already begun."

... Oh, sure it is.

There's nowhere to be confused.

If I was caught off guard, I'd be in pain like when I fought potato worms before.

Well, from now on, I have a family.

You can't leave your family behind and die because of this alarm.

I also hold a dagger in my hands and confront Mr. Carl.

Even if you don't use your skills, your senses do remain in your body when you use them.

So this duplicity is never a burning blade.

... Perhaps that's what Carl said.

"... I see, the setup... you look stunning.

Are you saying that you never looked at my scheme and imitated it? "

With that in his mouth, Mr. Carl has begun to advance with his long spear protruding forward.

Ha, fast!

... but compared to my brother-in-law stepping in before...!

Here, predict Carl's movements as he steps in and dodges in the backstep.

Then I'll step into your nostalgia and give you a blow!

In an instant, judging by that, I jump backwards to the point where the spear cannot reach too far.

"Ok! I avoided it!!

That's how I fights back, the moment I tried to jump in, the spear I should have avoided stretched out... Yikes!

"What!?

I understood the situation and rushed into evasive action...... it was already too late......

As soon as I go for a counterattack, Mr. Carl's long spear hits my flank in a counterfeit mood.

"Guha!!

Though a long wooden spear, its power is immense.

I fall in unintentionally because I'm glad.

... If this were serious, I would have died.

What the hell happened?

I'm pretty sure I avoided Mr. Carl's blow.

Not if you're thinking about it, Mr. Carl came in to point a stop at me when I fell in.

... Now I'm swinging my short spear down.

"Fuck!! Let him do it!

He suffers severe pain in his flank, lays a dagger on his hands on a cross, and takes a short spear blow.

And throw the dagger you had in your right hand at Mr. Carl.

I guess you didn't think you'd let go of your weapon, Mr. Carl dodges with a surprised look... but for a surprise, the motion was getting bigger and a gap was created for a moment.

I have no hands to miss this gap!!

I threw out my dagger. I grabbed my right hand and shook it through Carl's pigeon tail with all my might.

... I guess you didn't expect me to come and punch you with my fist without the remaining dagger.

My fist did not have the same dimensions and hit Mr. Carl's dovetail.

Even if you're not using your skills, this isn't the first time you've used a fist attack today.

There was some flutter, but I think it did some damage that I could never fool around with.

"Guh!"

Turn to Mr. Carl's handwriting.

We need to distance ourselves now and restore some damage......!

I guess Mr. Carl thought the same thing.

Just like me, I'm taking my backsteps away.

"Damn, I didn't think you'd throw down your weapon and beat me up..."

Well, I managed to escape with odd measures, but I'm pretty sure the situation is unfavourable.

Mr. Carl's first shot, I don't think we have a shot until we figure out who that stretching spear is.

What the hell was that?

I must have avoided it...

Did you just hitch the wrong distance?

... No, that's not true.

It was too much, but I must have avoided it.

But then, the spear tip grew.

... Okay, you want to give it a try?

I put the dagger I had with my left hand on my back and became defenseless. [M]

And then I pull my strength out of my body and take my stand in nature.

Mr. Carl looked at me and flaunted his face for a moment, but immediately reverted his expression and spoke to me.

"... it doesn't seem like you've given up the battle...?

Now, what are you thinking? "

Never mind, I'm just loose to read my thoughts.

What I have to do now is focus all my efforts on avoiding it and learning the secrets of Mr. Carl's attack.

The other person's breathing, muscle movements learned in training… you anticipate behavior from those things.

Carl is asking carefully because he doesn't know exactly what I'm doing.

Looks like he didn't accidentally jump into the boulder.

All right, then...

"... what's going on? Mr. Carl, are you afraid of me on the whole hips?

I've tried something provocative that doesn't suit you, but what do you think?

"An obvious provocation......

I know that, but fine. I'll ride you up!

Ahaha...... I think I found out.

But it looks like it turned out good!

He laughed and suddenly began to run at me.

"I don't know what you're thinking, but that's it for you!

What Mr. Carl chose was the same long spear blow as the first shot.

Yes! That's exactly what I've been waiting for.

A spear blow coming at me.

Yeah, it's a perfectly normal attack to this point.

Something special in particular... Hmm? What? My shoulder muscles are moving... something's wrong.

Is that it? What is it, not just the shoulders, this weird discomfort?

This attack, unlike earlier, is not going to strike back.

Do a big backstep instead of avoiding it critically.

And while avoiding the spear, observe Carl's right shoulder, which was firmly uncomfortable.

Mr. Carl then taps the joint part of the shoulder inward and pushes forward.

It takes a step further along the right axial foot.

Right, is this the discomfort I just felt?

Were you stepping in with your left and right axial feet reversed?

The spear is pushed out in front by pushing the shaft foot one step further and tapping the shoulder inward, which is visible from the target.

I see, indeed, this is ”technology”.

As much as I was focused on avoiding it, I could afford to avoid this attack perfectly.

He has a pretty regrettable look on his face when he takes a look at Mr. Carl.

It must have been a blow to confidence.

The fact is, I was pushed one step ahead of losing because of this attack earlier.

But if you know what karaki is, it's ours!

This is where the counterattack begins!
