63 [54] Before returning home (1/2)
Adventurer's Guild training camp.
While the boy in question is unraveling his body, his opponent Kounaria has a hard expression on his face.
It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of this article.
''Master...''
'Even though she was excited, it was on terms that Cunnalia drank herself, right? I'm not going to interfere in any way in this case. If it's your decision, take responsibility for it.
Uh....
Cunaria looked up at Virum with an anxious expression, but what she was waiting for was not the words she was expecting.
'Hey, it's about time~? Let's hurry up and fight!
The boy swings his signature naginata with a swish and a look of composure on his face.
It seems that Magre is not the one who has been racking up consecutive victories against adventurers, judging from his movements.
'(It's okay. If we win, if we win, it will be the same as before...)
Hastily rushed out to the center of the training camp by the boy, Cunaria muttered to herself...
(Yes. If we win... but if we lose...?)
Once rooted, the sense of anxiety was not so easily dispelled.
The shunting remarks from Virum right before had also added to it.
Perhaps feeling uneasy about such a situation of Coonaria, Meldina, who came up to Virum's side, whispered in Virum's ear.
''(Hey Ville, are you really going to abandon Coonaria?)''
''(I won't abandon you. Just like before, Kunaria is too weak mentally. You can't help but get angry when someone points out something you don't like, but you can't afford to lose sight of your surroundings if you get excited. We need the art of being able to think properly even in anger and excitement.)
'(Good. Then it's okay if Kuna loses, right? Now Kuna, that's clearly not normal.)
Meldina's expression softens with a breath of relief as she realizes that she has no intention of abandoning Coonaria.
''(No...) If I'm going to lose to that kid at this level, I'll cut him off as an apprentice.''
The gazes of everyone in the training camp focused on Virum, who deliberately answered so that everyone around him could hear him.
Cunaria's reaction was particularly pronounced, making her body jump with a jolt and then begin to shake with a clatter.
Meldina also said, ”You're serious! But, as if he sensed the seriousness of the fact that this Virum didn't react at all, he shifted his worried gaze to Cunaria.
The only thing that matters is the fact that it's a good idea to have a good time. Isn't that enough?
Yes?
As soon as Kounaria returned her gaze to the boy, the swinging cleaver struck her.
Apparently, the boy interpreted this as consent to start the battle.
''Eh? Kuh?
The fact that I was able to reflexively catch it is probably the result of daily training.
It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
On the contrary, it seems as if they are even outnumbered by a boy who is smaller than Ristiane.
(Wha, why...? Strengthening doesn't work!)
Incomplete activation of physical strengthening.
Due to the extreme loss of concentration, the magic power was not able to flow properly through the magic circulation pathway in the body, and this was the result of the half-hearted effects that appeared.
As for the effects of body strengthening, it is 20 to 30 percent of the usual effect...perhaps a little higher than the physical strengthening used by ordinary adventurers.
Coonaria, who is unable to produce her natural strength, is gradually being pushed into a corner.
''If this is the case...''
Feeling jittery, Cunaria deliberately relaxed, and barely escaped from the brinksmanship by retreating her body backward at a right angle.
With that momentum, Cunaria jumped away and took the distance, but he lost his stance and wondered why the boy didn't follow up, despite the perfect opportunity to do so.
The boy let out a deep sigh.
