"All right, then let's get started. Both ready."

Hikaru said that Claude and Ivan were present about 5 meters apart.

Ivan is a great sword, Claude is a one-handed sword about a meter old. Together it is a simulated sword, but it hurts considerably to hit it from above the clothes.

"Begin!"

Claude packed the distance all at once along with the call.

I guess Ivan, who had a sloppy cut to the ground, decided he was "alarmed".

"--Sweet, Claude!

Digging up the ground with a cut tip plunges sand and dust into Claude's face.

To Claude, who suddenly closed his eyes,

"Ohhhhh!!"

Ivan stepping in releases a full swing rather than a shovel.

"Defend, Claude! You're gonna die!"

!!

take the Great Sword with both hands —— but

"Guaaa!?"

Pushed in, the Great Sword blows Claude's body straight to the side from above the defense.

I rolled off for a few meters with the grass.

"Claude!!"

Luca runs away with a voice similar to a scream.

"That's it. Ivan, lower your sword."

"Oh, wow."

I guess it's because it's been decided in one blow, on the contrary, Ivan is stunned.

"I've never hit Hikaru at all before..."

"Didn't you get your sword muscle faster because you were fighting the guy who flickered so much?

"Sure. The usual Ivan."

Ivan and Jalazak's students were saying that.

"Claude, Claude!

"It's okay..."

Claude stands up with her hand against the ground. But it will soon come down, and Luca will support it.

"Claude, are you hurt?

"I have a stroke... but I don't think it's broken"

said Claude as he rubbed his arm.

The simulated sword is not broken either. Looks like he was just blown away by pure force.

"Wow, Ivan is. I didn't know you were so strong..."

To Claude in remorse, Ivan twists his neck.

"No, Instructor Mikhail is better than me at all. Hikaru beats that Mikhail teacher."

…………

Claude sees Hikaru with a desperate face.

"You knew you'd lose if you fought from the front, from the beginning. And I can't help but go straight ahead."

"That's —— yeah, but if we go at that speed, we can attack first... I can't believe they're gonna blink us like that"

"Hey, we got hit by Hikaru. Suddenly, you're scared."

"Really," says Ivan, Jalazak students, "it's a really bad personality attack." There is a mix of words that are hard to listen to.

"So you're saying that Claude was created by Ivan on the contrary, even though he should poke the other guy's gap"

"Knock..."

"Use the last 40 days to get more and more of them to acquire the means to make that kind of gap. There's no way you can win a positive attack from the start. Let's have a mock fight with instructor Mikhail as of the 30th, and then make sure to do it once a day."

"Really...... can you win with that"

"You can't say what's wrong as it is now. Increase the number of weapons available for now"

"? Weapon...?

"Yes."

Hikaru said. Hold the shield.

Besides his thoughts, Claude was an honest student.

He is equipped with a round, round shield that can be held with one hand to repeat simulated battles with Ivan and Jalazak students.

Luca seemed to see it harrowed at first too, but I don't know if she's getting used to it or if it's a frontier to give up, "Why don't you jump to the side in front of me?" or "Keep some pebbles in your hands from the start" or something like that.

If we don't let him poke the gap, Claude and Ivan have a pretty good fight.

"Isn't it going well"

Sylvester has spoken to me.

"... where. There's a 10% chance you can beat Teacher Mikhail like this."

"Is it so different"

"Even if you poke a gap, the instructor will do something with his instincts."

"So this training doesn't make sense?"

"The real purpose lies elsewhere."

"Hmm... I guess you won't answer me when I hear that"

"Sort of."

The aim of Hikaru was to make Claude forget the "previous mould" anyway.

There are many different ways to fight.

Claude's previous swordsmanship is even "liturgical," as he puts it.

That knowledge and experience is intrusive —— to grow on a soul board.

I asked Claude, "Occupation" was "Ordinary One-Handed Sword Ritual God: Swordman of Honor". This is the only "profession" about swords, he said.

Six letters. Even God. And even "liturgy". This cannot be called combat specialization.

Ivan is a six-letter god called "Great Sword Spiritual Frenzy God: Blade Barbarian". He says it's a "profession" that often comes out to big swordsmen who don't like fine sword moves but can play power.

And the king of Jarazak -- "True Great Sword Seeking God: Blade Seeker," is the "vocation" of a five-letter God that is easy to appear in "those who have seriously mended the Great Sword"?

I don't care what you think, it's incompatible.

(First, let a proper "profession" emerge. from there)

This idea was the shortest distance tactic I could think of because I could use a soul board. But of course, you can't reveal that to Sylvester.

Let Ivan and I do a mock fight for a while at first, so Hikaru can have some time.

In the meantime Hikaru was going to do what Hikaru had to do.

It is the Queen's persuasion.

Ravya looked lonely when she said Hikaru would vacate the house for a few days, but I can't help all this. It is more convenient for each man to go back and forth through the capital, Foreszard, and Scalazard.

I bought a mask I found in the city of Foreszard only because the overused face of the Sun God was becoming worn out.

It is constructed to cover only the right cheek, concealing the eye area and the nose head.

It was basically a simple silver mask with a light tattoo carved into the edges.

He said it was the carpenter's outdoor shop that was selling the mask, and that a further rich merchant had asked him to create it.

"Hi, I have a daughter with burns from her forehead to her right cheek. So, because it's something I usually use, I said," Lightly. "Plus, I said," It's like sucking on my face with a trace amount of magic. "Yeah, yeah, I made it. I just asked the magician for the magic part... and the merchant went bankrupt and didn't end up buying it. What do you say, boy? I'll make it cheaper --"

It was 500 guillans.

It does suck when I put it on. Even if we cannot use spiritual magic, humans always have magic in small amounts.

Simple design was also Hikaru's preference. When brushed with cloth, the dull oxide layer fell and a beautiful silver gloss appeared.

"... you changed your mask?

Visiting the Queen's office, Marquedo said with a disgusting face.

There is still lead minister Zofira-Van Houtense in this room.

"Your Majesty, come on. Let's give up on this man coming in. So far, I can only think of it as a one-of-a-kind collaborator who does pest (spy) control."

"I look like a bug-loving weirdo."

"So you still discovered the spy today?

"No, I wasn't there. You seem to be looking around more than anything."

"Looks like we got better ventilation thanks to you. You look worse."

It was the pillars supporting the building that Zofira threw her gaze at. The pillars, which were stone, have been transformed into wood only there. They have some sort of magic trick because of the magic reaction.

That's where spies used to creep through the pillars.

"A seal was received from Claude-Zahad Kirihar. He seemed very pleased with what the rest had introduced."

Marquedo said with the same disgusting face.

"Hmm? That's good"

"What trick did you use? The Zahad family can't thank you enough."

"No, no, you tried to use me that way, didn't you? Claude was on the verge of becoming a protruder in the Zahad family. I was trying to do something about it."

"Hmm, did you spot that far"

"Sort of. I'm not stupid, either."

It wasn't until Claude told me a lot about it.

Hikaru also knew very well that Marquedo wasn't just made to look like Hikaru either.

"So, what are you doing today?"

Marquedo cuts out vigilantly.

How it should be cut out —— Hikaru had thought about it enough.

"On the last day of the Founding Ceremony, a proposal is put to the meeting. The originating country is Tubra. The proponent is Sylvester-Gi-Tubra. I want you to vote in favour of this proposal."
