64 [55] Before returning home (1/2)

Adventurer's Guild Treatment Room.

After that, the boy who was knocked unconscious by the wall was brought into the healing room, and Meldina is currently treating him.

Meldina, who had recently been working hard to learn recovery magic, had taken on the role of healer.

Since there were no outsiders other than the boy in the room, Miselio was also assisting her while hiding behind Meldina.

''U... ugh.''

”(He's about to wake up. Mio, hide.)

”(Oops)

The boy was dumbfounded for a while as he slowly opened his eyes as soon as Miselio disappeared from sight, but then, as if he remembered something, he raised himself up vigorously.

'Shh, the match!

You're awake. Does it hurt anywhere?

'The body is fine! Forget about that, what about the game?

Meldina was concerned about the boy's body, but the boy, who had been rendered unconscious back and forth by the shock to the point of passing out, was more concerned about the outcome of the match.

'Don't you remember?'

Virum calls out to the boy.

When I explained in detail the offense and defense from around the time Kunaria turned to the offensive, the boy looked down as if he understood the current situation.

The boy's body is trembling slightly, is it because of frustration?

''~~~~! Duh! I'm losing~!

Surprisingly, the boy honestly admits his defeat.

He doesn't seem to care about the outcome of the match, and it's clear that he's shocked that he lost to Cunaria and that his apprenticeship has been cancelled.

''I think the biggest reason for your defeat was that you let up on the chase in the middle of the fight. If you had continued to attack without prompting me to surrender, you would have won.

What...?

And it's not good to notice that your opponent has changed and not change his fighting style. You're fighting at the same pace as you were before the change, which makes your attacks harder to predict and harder to avoid.

Mr. Virum...?

The boy's eyes were black and white and confused as he couldn't swallow the situation when Vilm's point came out of nowhere.

But as soon as he realized that this was an instruction to him, he straightened his posture and began to listen intently to what was being said.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing, but if you don't have a good idea of what you're going to be doing, you'll need to know how to do it.

'Two weeks.

What?

After about an hour had passed, the boy asked back, as if he didn't understand the words that Vilm had uttered when he finished speaking.

''Thanks to fighting you, Cunaria was able to realize her weaknesses. I won't make you an apprentice because I have a promise to Kounaria, but I will accompany you through your training for two weeks.

Oh, really?

The boy, who had given up on his pre-match promise to apprentice himself to Vilm, opened his eyes with a gleam of joy.

'That starts tomorrow, okay? Even though you received it with a weapon, you're still getting a blow from Kuna, so rest up today.
