"No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I stuck to it too much."

Mr. Tehepero apologizes with his hand on his head.

I don't think this guy's any worse.

"Hah... please don't. Every time I train, I don't have this one."

"Aren't you wearing clothes instead of your body?

Mr. Libel glanced at Mr. Fifty Arashi who had emerged from the shadows.

"Nh...!

Kaaatsu, Mr. Isaraki's face becomes red.

She was wearing a jersey instead of her usual uniform.

It was a uniform when I got into the shadows, but now I'm wearing a jersey.

... don't say it for her honor.

"Well, not to mention jokes, honestly, you're going to have to get used to this. The battle against the advance party and the Six Kings class is just too much pressure to bear."

Above Mr. Liberty's gaze are Mr. Ichinose, Rokubana-chan, and Mr. Nishino.

Everyone's expression is stiff and cold sweating.

Though I suppressed it a little, it still seems difficult to endure.

"For now, all four of us, except you, will have to start by getting used to my pressure."

"That's right.... that? So, what about me?

"Of course, I'll go at the same time. I can't waste my time."

Tongton and Liberty hit the ground at the tip of their heels.

I flexed and stretched my hand, checked my condition several times, and then looked at me.

Don't die, Kazt.

The next moment - she disappeared.

"Nh...!

Reflexively, I retrieved the Kunai made from jigsaw from the item box and played her attack behind me.

That's a good response.

"Gu...!

At some point, she had a cane in her hand.

This is the Staff of the Wise I used to keep.

The most powerful weapon mounted like a pile with buffs to improve your skills and stats.

(It's a magician's weapon, but it's literally different if Mr. Liberal uses it.)

The air is heavy.

It's hard to breathe.

Concentrate all nerves and focus only on the person in front of you.

A sense of intimidation (pressure) that makes you think you're going to die in no time.

... this is really training, isn't it?

Are you here to kill me?

"Of course, I'm going to kill you and finally train you."

Words as if you had read my mind.

"Easy to read, easy to read. It's easy to understand, Kazuto. It's easy to understand."

Someone else told you. Am I that easy to understand?

Mr. Liberty dexteriously spins the circle and the cane with one hand, whiskers, and then tries to pay for my legs with the pattern.

Reflexively, I tried to avoid it.

Yes, deduct points

――!?

At once, Mr Liberty narrowed his distance and shot him hard in the jaw at the bottom of his palm.

"Too much focus on weapons. Look at the entire movement of the other person."

Wow, your brain is shaking.

No... hey, your consciousness needs to move your legs...

"Nh!

The next moment, Momo uses Shadow to hinder Libel's movement.

Hmm.

"Wow!?"

The "shadow" was lightly cut.

"Of course. Given the difference in status, you can't be so restrained."

I tried to make Momo eat the counter.

― But, Tamarishi, Momochan.

He kicked the ground and got away from us.

Why would you do that?

I managed to look at the monster with a swinging vision.

I noticed it.

Momo's body was shining slightly.

"Kiki's 'reflection'. You were planning to be held captive and counterattacked in advance.... hey, Cuzt. Maybe Momo's smarter than you are.

"... you have an undeniable self."

Honestly, I think Momo has a better sense of combat than I do.

He's smart, he's moffy, and he's really awesome. Thank you.

"I forgot to get a lette, Luna."

For a moment, Sola's tail was knocked on by Mr. Liberty.

There was a roar and a smoke.

"Fuhahaha! Death, sir! Death!

... Sora's guy, remember this is training?

He relentlessly slapped Mr. Liberty as if he was clearing up his daily routine.

In the aftermath of its destruction, the surrounding landscape is changed in an instant.

"Ahh...."

"Nat, hide behind me! Nicky, hold on tight."

"Ah, ahh...."

Looking at the back, Rokubana-chan stood ready to protect them.

Glowing corners appear on the forehead, and geometric patterns appear on brown skin.

Rokubana-chan's unique skill, "demonization", has evolved into a demon.

Combat abilities should be increasing exponentially, but the expression is not good.

You must be feeling the irreversible difference in power.

All you have to do is stand around and stay out of trouble.

"That's fine. Even now, that remorse will be the spring of the future."

"Ugh!?"

Soon afterwards, I was astonished to see Mr Liberty next door again.

Nuh, what time is it?

"No, just notice that...."

Slowly kicking the ground, dancing in the air, and distancing herself from Sora, Mr. Liberl shook the stick in his hand wide -

Eh?

Gogaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

With the sound of the air breaking, I beat Sola to death.

"Aren't you dull from eating hay? If you were a framme, you'd have just avoided the counter and let it go.

Don't you dare speak my husband's name!

Sora got up quickly and opened her mouth wide.

Hey, wait a minute.

You're not going to let the braces go here.

If you're in that position, you'll get us into trouble!?

"Looks like you're getting more proficient in mind calling. I'm just a little fluent."

Eater! This... "

The light flickers and the bracelet is fired from Sola's mouth.

But just before that,

"Hey, rockfall."

Mr Liberty created a huge rock over Sola's head.

It fell straight down and hit Sola in the head -

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?"

He forced Sola to close her mouth and set off a brace.

Sora fainted as she exhaled the black smoke.

"... you're not dead, are you?

"You're okay, maybe."

Maybe you...

"The moment you shoot a dragon in the bracelet, your body gets stiff. That's why, at that moment, if you shut your mouth, you'll destroy yourself like this. It's a well-known method in the other world."

That's right...

"Nevertheless, if you look at the timing incorrectly, you will die instantly from the other person's bracelet, so if you are a low-level person, you will die from imitation."

"You're scared. I don't think I can imitate it...."

"What are you talking about? It's so easy for you.

"No, you can't...."

Mr. Liberl looks unconvinced against me shaking his neck.

…… People in this country are strangely humble, aren't they? Is it a value like virtue to act like you can't do what you can?

"No, that kind of thing... there might be..."

Especially the socialists.

Somehow, it's only natural that you can do it, but there's a feeling of air that you shouldn't let it out... If you get a little better at it, they'll say you're cumming right away.

Well, in my case, the opposite is, "Why can't you do this after three years? The Chief Shimizu used to get mad at me. What about feeling responsible for my job, just making the same mistake... ah, I'm getting sad when I remember.

"Hmm, well, that's fine.... but you better understand your strengths."

Huh?

Libel approaches again with a whistling sound.

He played the wand with a kunai and tried to tangle his feet with the shadow.

He attacked, persuaded, and managed to follow Mr. Liberty's movements.

"Look, I was able to respond to my movements right away."

"No, hey-wait, ha-ha..."

How can we afford to talk in this situation, this guy?

He disappears.

Now it's straight side--then it's behind us again.

I'm finally getting my skills up and running.

"You can't afford it, can you?

"That's it... it's so close...!

Build a wall with an item box and try to make a distance, you can be instantly circled and distanced.

Even if you try to restrain the movement with the shadow, it can be cut quickly, and it is too early to hit in the first place.

It's always getting closer and closer, so it's blocking Momo's screams.

Not if it's hard to do.

(How do I fight back...?

Watching the opponent's entire movement... is not such a battle cartoon, so you can't do it right away.

Ichinose-san and the others are still unable to follow their movements, and Mr. Igarashi, who is lurking in the shadows, is not the type to stand up and fight.

Is there anything else I can do?

"Come on, think, think, think. It's still going to be fast."

"Gu...!

Fully activate your mind and explore the threads of counter-attack.

"Proficiency reached a certain level"

Concentration has gone up from LV8 to LV9.

"Proficiency reached a certain level"

Forecasts are up from LV7 to LV8.

Announcements announcing skill level-ups go on.

I can afford to think a little bit.

"You're getting more focused. Besides, the movement has improved. Come on, I'm still going."

"Eh, hey... hold on!

"I won't wait. Come on, it's still sweet! I hope you can at least let me use my magic skills by the end of the day. And I'll make you realize your strengths and the anomalies underlying them."

……

No, it's a little too expensive, isn't it?

I did my best to defend myself against Mr. Liberty's relentless attack, and I was unable to attack Mr. Liberty properly that day.

Well, shall we leave it for today? Tomorrow I'll go even harder. "

…………

I didn't even get a proper answer, and I fell to the ground.

I mean, every day... wouldn't I die before the duel?

That's what I thought as I moffed Momo.

... Incidentally, by the time I finished training that day, Mr. Fifty Arashi was changing from jersey to civilian clothes again. I'll have her face down for her honor.

That night, Fujita-san and Tokawada-san's team also returned.

It was full of worn wounds, but there were no dead.

They fought Named with their own might.

They must have leveled up quite a bit.

Fujita-san's expression was much more confident than before.

My clothes were dirty and it was hard because Nijo was holding me in tears.

Still, little by little, everyone was starting to raise their ground power.

Hunting monsters, raising levels, and fighting Mr. Liberty over and over again...

And in an instant, time passed.
