The Branded Female Fencer

"Lay, you're going to continue qualifying this afternoon, aren't you? What are you doing here?"

Layer had been summoned by Elsia to organize a qualifying meeting. Layer was watching and learning about the warriors competing in the qualifying party while guarding the venue, but to be honest, he was told.

"No, with lack of manpower"

"You just have to let Gail do that. It's rotten in Jaeger's quarters anyway. What if we concentrate more on qualifying than that? If you win two, it's the main fight, right? You're gonna get a lot of rewards just for winning one, right?

"Maybe. You know, from here on out, every time you win, it doubles."

"So... uh, how much will it cost?"

"Assuming I win two in this fight, it'll be my salary for a year or so."

Elsia turned her eyes round to the layers she had naturally said.

"Huh!? Then concentrate!

"No, I don't even think I can win that much, and I think it's better in nature. There's nothing wrong with greed. You can tell by looking at Gail, can't you?

"Mm, that's for sure"

"More than that, Elsia is the one. You're qualifying for the women's division this afternoon, aren't you?

Although the women's division usually does not hold qualifying sessions, Jaeger has a large number of female mercenaries, which is why Miranda planned it from qualifying. It was usually played in the main battle just for the invited players, but was reputed to lack a little more hua.

This time a large number of participants were gathered because of holding one-on-one qualifiers, but still a number of people to the extent that they would reach the main match if they won three times. Again, it was the result of making women find it difficult to live with swords, but on the contrary, Elsia had been taken as a good opportunity. Because even in the women's division, if you win the main battle, you get a lot of rewards.

"Well when I say qualifying, it's mostly like Jaeger's Civil War. It's a big score system. It's a little different than Tarram's."

"What's the combination?

"We already had a stakeout. With all the faces I know, it doesn't seem like a problem for now."

Elsia, so to speak, but not all female mercenaries inside Jaeger are amateurs either. Some of them are mercenaries of war. A little more than a year with a sword, Elsia says, "There's no problem." I guess Elsia isn't looking good, she's an honest assessment, so I don't even know how awesome that is, how Elsia looked and Layer laughed unexpectedly.

Elsia looked suspiciously at the layer because her face was unintentionally corny.

"... what, did you say something strange?

"No, not at all. More like this."

Layers were sharpening their wooden swords from the gray oak they received yesterday. Finished with a spike sword. Seeing that, Elsia rounded her eyes.

"Have you done it yet?

"It's not like I'm capable of killing, if I just sharpen my sword. I tried finishing it like that, don't you think?

It was really early because Schempez's wisdom was also sharpening and finishing while borrowing, but Layer kept that to himself.

Try and wield the sword Elsia could and convince.

"Yeah, it's easy to shake, and you can handle this without a problem. And it's amazing how you can fit in one shot until you grip it."

"I was shown a practice sword, and Elsia's habits are somewhat if you look at them. It's a coincidence that it's a single shot."

"My habit?

"When an attack changes, you just change your face a little bit. It would really be best to have a faceless look, but it doesn't have to be Elsia."

Layer casually said, and naturally he always cared about Elsia, but Elsia was surprised that she had herself up inside besides her thoughts. Sometimes I practice toward the mirror, but I didn't even know that my expression would change. Of course not in practice and practice, but I was glad that the layers cared about me.

"Oh, yeah? Thank you for your advice."

"If it helps, it's better."

"Will you strike the sword again? Now you can take some time. I want a sword in action."

"If you get good material. Oh, and this is a prototype."

Layers took out more weapons. If you apply, you may also use a throwing weapon. What the layer took out was a wooden sphere.

"I made it out of excess lumber. If you're good at throwing, Elsia can use it, right?

"Hehe, sure. If you're fighting a score system, this will work."

"And I tried to make something like this."

"What's this?

What the layer took out looked like the same spike sword at first sight but was not made of wood. Elsia took it in her hand and confirmed the sword, but it was even lighter than a wooden sword.
