The Branded Female Fencer
Guilty Sword of Oath, Part 14 ~ Crudas ③ ~
There was a lot more difference between Alberto and Crudas than there was before, but given the future, the technical difference between the two could have narrowed. Crudas still has little experience in action, compared to Alberto, who has a lot of experience in action. There are still examples of talent blossoming by putting itself in extreme battle. Not to mention the Lazar clan. Father Moldard has also told us that Crudas may be more talented than Alberto in terms of pure sword moves and scouting.
But the result was different. Alberto has already stepped ahead, which I thought was the cap, but Crudas hasn't improved better than I thought. From Miriazal's experience it seemed less stretching than expected, though it would be a little more stretching.
"(Living in this workout is not an already fine thing in itself, but it is not true only of the Lazar. Especially these guys. Unlike Eliza, they draw direct blood. Instead of just a thousand of them, the ability to do so has to be a thousand. Otherwise, you won't even be allowed to stand in front of a black magician in preparation for the battle to come.
Even though I could have expected this to happen to some extent, is it still a difference in readiness? Alberto has a clear reason to fight, but Crudas has...) "
Thinking that far, Miriazar reconsiders the life of the three Lazar families in retrieval. Alberto has loved Miranda from an early age and strives as hard as possible to be a worthy knight. Rafferty had initially trained in his sense of confrontation with Alberto, but now he has defended Belliache and is aware that he is likely to be fit again as a commander. Rafferty is aware of himself and his surroundings when he eventually possesses qualities as a mentor rather than the kind of person he strikes out. That is why I have not allowed you to participate in this training from the beginning. I wasn't fit to thicken my blood in this training.
But Crudas... I was blessed with qualities more than I was at a young age and everyone was happy with that talent. But Crudus himself has no purpose in fighting. Alberto is an object of respect, not a good enemy. Rafferty is a good consultant, not a subject to compete for wisdom. I have a 'to protect' classmate, but I guess I'm not a 'want to protect' best friend. Miriazal had that in mind.
"(It was probably early for Crudas. Even though it was coincidence that Alberto was determined, he was quite quick. Also, Rafferty and Belliache met quickly, so I might have misunderstood. In the first place, Crudas doesn't even have an adult ritual yet. Even as adults, there are many people who can't find the real reason why they should fight. Maybe this is the normal young man.
Yes, this is not the land vandalized by wartime demons. It's not a land where the object to fight and the reason to train is one mountain away. This is a peaceful and rich land. There is therefore little reason to fight, but this is also the land that I sought in times of chaos - difficult things) "
At a stage when Crudas was blown up and crashed into the wall just next to Miriazar, Miriazar returned to me. Look, Crudas is losing his mind. In contrast, Alberto was still shimmering and seemed to have already recovered the damage Miriazal had done earlier.
"You seem to be getting more resilient. How's the finish going?"
"Yes. The more I fight, the more I feel empowered. You think this is our natural power?
"Not yet. To this extent, many were awakened in the battle. I'll have you get to it. Right, the goal is to be able to fight Titania against each other."
"You said to challenge the legend."
"Did you cower?
"No. If Miranda can't protect me otherwise, I'll be strong everywhere...!
Alberto put up the great sword again, and Miriazar laughed lightly and kicked the ground. Apparently, when Alberto thinks he might be stronger than he imagines, he also thinks it would be worth working out.
But behind it, Crudus had been left behind. It was for a moment that he was passing out, and I don't know with what eyes Miriazal or Alberto saw Crudas fight the two who still can't get up. There was only one Stervese who was aware of that.
"(Really, that's a difficult thing to do. Though it is common for the weak to be struck down, Miriazal, you shouldn't be. Wrong again, huh?
Stervese does not speak. What she talks about, a true dragon, is a violation of the commandments. That is why she abandoned the world of man with a 'thousand eyes' that sees everything and a gaze that is also close to prediction. Therefore, it is sometimes hard to see young lives crawling desperately on the ground now.
