I came to the training ground for the recruitment exam.
Okay, so let's start the recruitment exam.
Captain Bolton said lazily, stroking his neck.
"What does the exam say?"I ask.
"You think I'm gonna write or do an interview?
Bolton smiled hard.
"All the guards in this city need is discipline and manners.Power, if you have the strength to protect the city and its treasures. "
"I see. That should be easy to understand."
I wondered what I would do if I was asked to be educated and polite.
I've become an orphan adventurer, and I'm missing something like that.It is easier to live in a society where strength is everything.
"Let's start with a meeting.-Three soldiers.That too, Sieg. I'm not going to attack you. "
"On the other hand, you mean defense?
"Ah. Guards - what they need to defend is more defense than attack.I can't do it without being able to endure it. "
I was confident of it.
Much more than being required to attack.
Three soldiers came forward.He has a sword, a spear and an axe.
"This is just a real battle.If anything goes wrong, you die.If I didn't like it, I desperately avoided it or prevented it. "
I pulled the wooden sword from my waist.Hold a shield in your left hand.
"Hey, are you listening to me?You shouldn't attack.Then you don't even have to have a sword. "
"It's a real battle format, isn't it?Then it would be strange not to have a sword.No idiot jumps into the middle of a battlefield with one shield. "
"Ha, that's true.- Hopefully that's not enough room for vengeance.The sword weighs as much as it can move. "
Commander Bolton said so and lowered his raised hand.
Okay, here we go.
Soldiers rushed out at the same time.
It is scattered to the right, center, and left.
The first soldier on the right came out with a spear.
Bunn, the tip runs fast.
I walked away from it.
As they stepped, the soldier on the left shook down his sword.I gave him my shield. The sword is held in front of an iron shield.
"- It was here!
Finally, a soldier in the middle waved down his ax.
Weighted blow - this cannot be taken with a shield.
Then you can play it.
I played the swinging axe with my shield in good time.
"─!?
The soldier with the axe was completely disoriented.Stagger behind you, and there's plenty of gaps.I put a wooden sword to the throat.
"If it had been a battle, your neck would have flew."
The colour of fear seeped into the soldiers' eyes.
"Stay calm when confronted with multiple enemies - don't do it.That's the name of the ex-B-ranked adventurer. "
Captain Bolton smiles in an unbelievable manner.
"Well, here's the next one.Zeke, I'm going to put a balloon behind you now.Do not let the soldiers break this. "
"Are you fighting in defense?"
"That's what happened. Protect this balloon from the people of the city.To be broken is to kill the people of the city. "
The soldiers looked at each other.
"Commander Bolton. Don't be reckless....."
"Those tough conditions weren't imposed when we joined the army, were they?Isn't that Zeke just tough on people?
"Captain Bolton hates strangers and adventurers."
"Hey, come on.Temena. "
"" "Sorry!
"I'm telling you, don't bother.Think of that balloon as a monster.If you can't break it, you'll hurt someone you care about. "
"... (Guriku)"
The soldiers' eyes changed.It's a serious look.
They're coming in at once.
I got out before the balloon and got into a defensive position.
Do not attack from this side.But if we take them all at once, one day they'll get pulled out.
Then - if we defend it, we will have to disable it together.
"Haah!
The soldier's spear strike was parched with a shield.
A spear flew from the soldier's hand as a result of the recoil, passing through the force.The sword and axe attacks that continued to be fired were also well timed.
Flies swords and axes out of the hands of soldiers.
"Nah, what is this..."
"If the timing is slightly off, we could hit them straight.How can you do it so perfectly over and over again? "
It was a gift of everyday training.
When I was a new adventurer, I trained myself to die.
With an attack like this, you can even meditate and parry.
"- Okay, now!Fuck off!
Commander Bolton flipped his instructions somewhere.
Then the soldiers standing beside him ran away looking at the balloon.They were just visitors until now.
"Ha, I don't know where the enemy comes from in battle.If they break the balloon, you lose. "
"Come on, it's dirty!
"It's a slug!
"You can't catch up with the soldiers at this distance.Looks like you lost this game, Sieg. "
"No. Not yet.― ― Iron Target
I activated my skills on the spot.
Then, all the attacks that the intruding soldiers fired at the balloon distorted and headed towards me.
I'll take it.
"What...!?
"Stupid...!
The soldiers seemed unaware of what had happened.
From their point of view, they did launch an attack on the balloon, but the balloon did not break.
Only me and Captain Bolton knew what was going on here.He exhaled in admiration.
"Hmm. Skill to gather all attacks on yourself?I've seen a lot of people before, but I've never seen a skill like that. "
Captain Bolton wiped out his smile.
"Looks like you're more interesting than I thought."
That said, I pulled the sword from my waist.
They're coming at me.
"... hey. Sieg.Next time, play one-on-one with me.--I 'll see what I can do. "
