Ah, Master!? You're here!

"I didn't notice... when?"

When Toya and Altria looked back at you anxiously, the teacher shrugged his shoulders.

"Shortly after you arrived, I was walking behind you."Sneak out the signs. "

"Seriously? I didn't notice at all..."I can still spot enemies like this.

"That's an adventurer, isn't it?"Monsters are fine, but human assassins come to stab them without killing them."Even if you get stung suddenly, the effect will be thin."

"No, no, I don't remember being targeted by an assassin...?"

Torya returns confused words, but the teacher tongues and groans at Torya.

"Hey, hey, aren't you going to marry Leah?"This is Leah, isn't it? One or two thought-provoking men--no, there must be 10 or 20 of them! "

Sure!?

"Chi, Father...!?"

In the words of the teacher, Toya said, "Zugar!”Altria raised her voice in a panic.

"It wouldn't be strange if someone came to stab you or hire an assassin!!"

You're right!?

"T-Toya too...!?"

"If I'm going to die from being hit by a surprise, I can't trust Leah with any peace of mind." You, too, should train. "

"Mmm, whether I'm sincere or if there's a pattern of resentment....."

I used to talk to Nao and the others, and when I remembered stories like, "If you level up, it's okay if a woman stabs you with a knife," Toya leans between her brows.

What I was expecting at that time was a love affair between a man and a woman.

For once, there is a love affair between them, which can be avoided by their own actions.

But not the stalker.

Even if it's just a relationship of acquaintance, in that person, they are always converted into lovers, and the original lover is a hobbyist, an enemy to be eliminated.

Because reason does not make sense, it is not something that we can be careful to avoid.

"... yes! Fortunately, some of the party members are good at that."I'll do my best, too!Leah's cute... definitely dangerous. "

"T-Toya, I'm glad you complimented me, but I'm not that good at that."I don't know many of them..... "

Altria looked embarrassed at Toya with a smile on her face, but Toya shook her head.

"That's not true." Besides, even if you don't know a lot of people, if you're a trained stalker, you'll start to say lovers because your eyes meet. "

"Ehhh!? I wonder what kind of insane person that is!?"

"Yes, he's a psychopath, Stalker."I don't know what to do, so it's tricky.But don't worry. No matter what happens, I'll protect Leah. "

"Toya... thank you. But let me protect your back."The couple needs help, right? "

"Leah... ahh, with me..."

And, it was Toya and Altria who stared at each other, but now the teacher physically interrupted in the meantime.

Such a teacher looked slightly frustrated at Toya, but the teacher looked down on Toya.

"That's why you can't cum in front of your parents!"I don't admit that it won't be a story in the first place. "

"Oops, that's right." Teacher, please take the exam as soon as possible. "

"I wonder if you've wasted your time!"...... Tch, let's go. "

Teacher Toya gently tongued as he moved his hand in a hurry.

Sighing in amazement, he urged Toya and the others to walk out.

◇◇◇

The three of them came to the back of the dojo.

Normally, it was an empty space used by Toya and the others to practice the Deep Deep Deep Deep, and naturally the teacher knew it well, but he found an unfamiliar object in the corner, and he turned a blind eye.

Leah, what is that?

The teacher pointed to a square block in front of him.

There are cavities on both sides that can be hung with hands, and there are dozens of white objects, black objects, and three kinds of intermediate objects piled up.

Ah, that was magically made by Toya's people for the Rockbreaker exercise.

"With magic? Wasn't it just slaying magic?"It should be difficult to match the hardness of natural rocks...... but what are the three types? "

"Ashamed, I've broken my wooden sword many times.I saw Nao - he was one of Toya's people, but he also made me something a little soft.It seems that the lighter colors are there, the darker colors are about normal rocks, and the darkest colors are about harder than normal. "

"Huh...?"

Listening to Altria's commentary, the teacher approached the block interestingly and opened his eyes in surprise by tapping it lightly.

"It looks like it's that hard indeed."Sounds like you're using some pretty advanced magic. "

“Yes, I learned the secrets in a short time, thanks to his help.”

"I see. Now, let's show you what you've accomplished." Let's start with Leah. "

"I-Is that from me?" - I understand. "

Altria winked a little surprised, but immediately decided to be prepared and nodded with a serious expression. She moved to a position about five meters away from the teacher.

"Now, from the moment." Sigh... hah... I'm going! "

After taking a few deep breaths, Altria jumps out with her legs tightened.

The movement was faster than the movement Toya showed in the test of the transmission, but if it was a little far away, it was somehow a speed that could be followed by the eyes, and naturally it did not reach the instantaneous movement shown by the teacher in the sample.

However, the teacher did not look particularly dissatisfied and nodded smallly.

"Hmm. You have the basics."You may as well stretch out afterwards. Next time, it's rock breakage. "

While saying that, the teacher lifted the intermediate hardness block and rolled it in front of Altria, giving her the wooden sword to try.

Receiving it, Altria holds it in front of the block and concentrates for a moment.

With a small tone, he swung it down all at once.

"--fufu!!"

Grrrr!

A dull sound echoes and the upper half of the block shatters and falls.

On the other hand, Altria's wooden sword was safe.

Looking at it, she exhales with relief.

Rockbreaking is a technique that crushes rocks with a wooden sword.

Although it was not possible to split the block in two, Altria decided that it would be within the acceptance range at first, but she remained somewhat anxious and looked back at the teacher as if she were going to pass.

"... what do you think?"

"I see. - Give me a hand."

When Altria placed the wooden sword in the hand offered by the teacher, the teacher slapped it lightly and confirmed that it was not cracked, and swung the wooden sword down toward the remaining blocks casually.

Knock it off!

The sound was higher than in Altria.

It was a slightly lighter sound, but the block where the wooden sword hit was splendidly straightened out.

If you want to call out the difference, if Altria smashed it with a hammer, would it be like the teacher smashed it with a wedge?

Seeing this, Altria took a small breath, but the teacher nodded in dismay.

"This stone is also hard enough."There is no strange smell and it is difficult to break.Is it ideal for practicing underground?... hey, Toya. Can't you make more of this for me? "

"Ask Nao if you need to."If I don't tell you to do it for free, you think I can pull it off?I asked you to make it for me. "

When Toya gently squeezed her shoulders, the teacher put his hand on her chin and thought about it.

"It's cheaper than having a rock carried from a distance..."Leah, think about it. "

"I see. I can give you a little budget... but what are my results?"

Teacher pounded his hand at Altria as he nodded.

"Oh, that's right." Your broken rock is a problem.With a little more sharpness, you'll be closer to breaking the bamboo from the shattering bamboo.The ultimate goal was to "slash," but I couldn't do it with a wooden sword.First, aim to "crack."

Yes! I'll work harder!

"Oh, good luck. Next time... I'll just put myself on."Leah, get ready. "

"Yes! -!!"

When Altria looked at the teacher, she held the wooden sword in one hand and approached her with a plump shake.

Then, after a few steps from Altria, she stopped moving for a moment, and at the next moment, she approached her and swung down her wooden sword as if to poke through her gap of consciousness ─ ─ towards her ass.

"Hi-chan! It hurts, but why are you aiming for it?!"

It sounded like, "Pahhh! It was quite loud, and Altria was screaming out of tune.

Altria blushed in embarrassment at the voice that had accidentally leaked. She looked at the teacher as if she was covering her ass with both hands and blaming her, but he shrugged his shoulders with the wind that blew his gaze.

"You can prevent attacks even in unexpected places.That's the benefit of being rigid. "

"... or something like that, Master." If Leah fails, you're aiming for a safe place, right? "

If Toya's eyes turned slightly dazed, the teacher was silent for a moment and laughed.

"... well, there's that too. I don't have a healer.I'm willing to make you train hard if necessary, but I avoid injuries that can be avoided. Of course, right?

"Ugh... then, wouldn't it be nice to be hungry?"

Even after receiving a grudging gaze from Altria, the teacher shook his head without breaking his smile.

I took care not to throw up breakfast in front of Toya.

"I'd like to say thank you for your consideration, but it's superfluous.I did it several times during training. "

Altria stretched her chest as if she had blown it off somewhere, and the teacher looked at Torya with an unbelievable look on his face.

"Hey, hey, Toya, don't be relentless." I thought you were worried about Leah. "

"Of course, I let Nao do it there.I don't want to be resented by Leah! "

"You... are you okay with the party?"You're not giggling, are you? "

"It's okay, my party is long and friendly."Even if you let me do that, I won't shake you! "

"As far as I'm concerned, even if Toya does, I won't resent her--"

"In a simulated war, you still just hit me." Please don't do this. "

That's why...

Altria said that and smiled happily somewhere, feeling a little embarrassed.

Looking at the two of them, the teacher sighed a little tired.

"... well, if there's no problem, that's fine."Well, the last one is the Slaying Demon. "

The teacher takes out a cane that can release the "fire arrow" used in the demonstration during the medium-transmission test.

As he played with it with one hand, he looked at Altria with a clear anxiety in his face.

"You're okay, aren't you...?"

"Yes, no problem. Please do it."

Really?

Toya looked at the teacher who checked again, looking at him strangely.

Master, you're very careful, aren't you?

"Hey, if this [Fire Arrow] is just a goblin, I'll give it a shot."I can't even hold back. If you fail, you will be seriously injured! "

"I think it's okay."But if you're so worried, you should have arranged for a healer. "

"I tried, but Leah stopped me..."

As a teacher, I intended to arrange a healer to conduct the examination as a natural preparation.

But when I told Altria that, she said, "Will you trust me?'I was told with sadness, and I stopped in tears.It is true that I decided to believe in my daughter.

--As an alternative, I was holding back an expensive potion.

”Hah... but I told you to believe me”

That being said, there must be a lot of anxiety.

Compared to when he showed his slashing magic before, the teacher took three times the distance and stood his staff toward Altria.

Well then, shall we go?

Yes, anytime.

Altria holds a wooden sword and confronts a master with a staff.

"...... [Fire Arrow]"

It was an unpleasant voice, but the staff demonstrated its effect.

The "Fire Arrow" from the tip of the cane flew towards Altria.

She looked at it firmly.

"Hah!!"

The wooden sword that was wielded with temperament was sure to capture the [Fire Arrow] and extinguish it.

Unlike the teacher's demonstration, he was not able to tear it apart, but it seemed that there was still no problem, and the teacher relaxed his expression in relief.
