< -- 191 times: volume 8 - chapter 9. Basque Kunt's Training -->

Author Kunt.

The villa's training grounds were just like any other time, when the Knights of the Kunt family were sweating and training.

“Move faster! Get your top speed and move a little faster in there! You can't enhance your skills unless you're training beyond your limit! It's a step in its place!”

Richard Buck is a man who shouts and encourages the training of his knights.

Caroc was one of two men brought from the Orient Kingdom.

Richard, who was already an Expert intermediate when he was scouted by Caroc, was looking forward to becoming more and more skilled under the guidance of the Kunt family's main master Basque.

In my previous life, Basque and the battlefield fought three times, scored one win, and lost their lives in the last one. But it's not the future anymore. Now it was ironic to serve that rival Basque.

Richard was in charge of the training because he was the best of the knights. Basically, Basque, the housekeeper, coached the training himself, but he was recently distracted by his training to become an error master and left it to Richard.

By the way, Hadin, another talent that Caroc has given to the Kunt family, has also proven his talents as a recent Error Exporter.

With these two, the Kunt knights were unprecedented energy, so Basque was relieved and dedicated to training alone.

“Well, you're doing well. ”

Basque nods with a satisfied face as he watches the knights of the training ground from afar.

Seeing the enthusiastic knights, I thought I could go to my personal training with peace of mind.

Basque went to his private training ground.

Grrr...

You draw a long sword from the middle of the training ground.

“Today is the day.”

I began to see the high hardship that I had yearned for all my life. The orb master approaches.

I'm getting close...

"Why don't you get caught? ’

I reached out my hand, but I couldn't reach it, so it drove Basque crazy.

“Different!”

Basque raises the error as he fights.

Paaaaaaaah!

An error has erupted from the Long Sword.

The error that flowed like azirang began to harden and form a specific shape.

Error Blade.

The privilege and symbol of the error master is expressed in the long sword of Basque.

But it was not complete.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds…….

Basque lasted barely 20 seconds. Blade scatters to come back, unable to withstand.

Basque had to feel a deep void.

I focused my whole mind and held on for only 20 seconds. The master said he could hold the blade for a few days. How much concentration do you need?

‘No way. With concentration, I can be confident that I will not be left behind by anyone. ’

It was a basque that had forgotten to eat since its youth and was so focused on practicing swordsmanship. It didn't make sense that he lacked the concentration to keep the blade from coming.

‘It won't be a matter of concentration. ’

Basque attempted to make and retain blades several more times.

However, no matter how long it lasted, it could not have lasted longer than 25 seconds.

Basque realized that this practice was wrong after repeating the same training all day long.

‘That's why it won't end. This is meaningless repetition. ’

After stopping training to launch the blade, Basque was reminded of the bear.

What is a master in the beginning?

‘Duke Meutt said that the extreme meaning of swordsmanship is to know what the target is and to respond optimally to it. ’

It was truly a wondrous thing.

When he faced Duke Meutt, it took Basque less than a second to admit defeat.

The moment he lunges for the long sword, Duc Meutt's sword is already aiming at his neck. You can see right through your dash and just bring the sword forward.

Then I realized.

This is the ultimate swordsmanship.

“Wait……. But what does Blade have to do with seeing through the opponent's radius? ”

The orb blade is a prop of the orb master.

A master of error is a man who knows his opponent's radius.

What does that have to do with anything?

At that moment, Basque felt a shiver as if he had found a faint ray of hope in the darkness.

There's gotta be a connection! ’

The shifting vision that pierces the opposing Pokémon's movements must have something to do with the error. Otherwise, the extent of the error master is not explained.

‘Obviously, error plays a role in developing the senses. Only the error user develops senses along with the improvement of physical abilities, and error exports can intentionally maximize one of the senses as an error. ’

Visual, auditory, olfactory, taste, touch.

These five senses were essential for humans to observe things. Improving your senses meant that you could observe things more accurately.

‘Yes. Is it by observing the opponent with the maximized senses to know his or her movements? ’

Basque's face became brighter.

Of course, such speculation was too much to explain the wonder of the Master's arrival.

But at least now you know where to go, so you don't have to wander off!

The next day.

Basque has returned to the knights' common training ground.

Richard, who was training with the knights, finds him and tilts his head.

“Are you home early? ”

“Ah. I changed my training method again. Don't mind me. Keep practicing. ”

“I understand. Hey, Harden. Let's fight. ”

“Yes, Richard. ”

Hardin looks at Richard, not swinging his sword alone. The two of them had something in common that they were scouted by Caroc from the same Orient Kingdom mercenaries, so they quickly became close and became brothers now.

‘Good timing. ’

Basque, who was watching this, controlled the error to maximize his senses. You observe Richard and Haden with an extremely sensitive sensation.

Richard draws the Long Sword.

Haddin raises his armored Morningstar and Round Shield.

‘Richard will strike first. ’

Basque was convinced.

Richard is an aggressive style, and Harden is as defensive as he is fortified with round shields.

Richard bends his legs slightly and points his torso forward, pulling a bow just before shooting the bow.

Is it the Dash first? ’

Basque diligently observed Richard's preparatory posture. You notice Long Sword preparing for the transverse bell.

"No, I will dash it in front of me and swing it across the Long Sword to the left. Richard is good at this kind of anomaly. ’

This time, Hadin was observed.

Hardin handles the round shield very well. A round shield that stands at an angle and closest to his right shoulder covers most of his upper half.

Your front foot is flat on the ground and your rear foot is slightly bent. Basque saw this and judged.

‘In preparation for Richard's Dash, he's always ready to turn left and right. I am appropriately prepared because I am familiar with Richard's style ’

The match went as Basque expected.

Richard lunges forward, swiftly turning left to attack Haden. However, Hardin also immediately turns to defend himself with the Round Shield.

Kuaang!

There was an error in Richard's Long Sword, but so was Harden's Round Shield.

Haddin's defenses have hardened even Basque so easily since he stepped foot on Expert's footing.

‘That's about it. ’

Basque clenched his fist.
