Chapter 189. No Turning Back (6) (2/2)

‘I can feel the difference’

Arthur’s eyes sparkled He had once wondered if Specter’s training methods were too simple and unrefined, but he didn’t feel that way anymore

‘I believe in you’

Now, he fully believed in Specter’swas arduous and painful while it was ongoing, there would be a grand prize waiting at the end

‘He said that those ork hard have time on their side’

This meant that time would always be on Arthur’s side Because from that …

hi around in circles like that? Whether you use your pistol or not, you should’ve just attacked me In a real battle, no one would just stand by and watch”

Specter’s battle training lasted frouard ed to even touch him

“Just how much more skilled is he?”

“Why are you surprised? Our opponent is Specter-nith until just a feeeks ago”

“If a tiger gets sick, can a rabbit defeat it?”

“Well, when you put it like that…”

Players were pure… no, they were prideful Even if their opponent was a legendary Player, they would still feel bitter if they spent the whole day being beaten up

Defeated, the Watchguards started to go over their matches with serious expressions on their faces

uess it’s because I’ faster than us’ </e the sath as us I’m sure of it’ </eraze hi difference in skill when they were supposedly equal? The Watchguards looked for the answer as they started analyzing the videos they had recorded It was their first ti their combat techniques like this since they had become Players Most Players had probably never done this either

‘I made too e a slow attack’</e the opponent’s vision But a shly where I aht be better to create distance when I distract them…’

It was an unfaive them tips, but it was hard to be objective with yourself If it weren’t for Specter, they probably would have never had this sort of experience This training technique was also syste Guilds for their newbies

ht coht…”

The day when the evolved Watchguards entered the world, that was

One week of basic sta curriculuuards’ spirit had changed

th, they have better looks in their eyes, and their stamina has improved’

As they looked up at Specter, their eyes were filled with boundless faith and respect His cudgel had hurt, but his beatings hadn’t been senseless

‘He only did it so that we could learn’</e behind them’

‘Maybe he didn’t take in students in the past because he was too soft-hearted to beat thereatly, but they couldn’t put down their rose-tinted glasses Even if they saw Specter picking his nose, they would probably think that there was so time, but it’s not short either,” Specter spoke as he looked upon the Watchguards lined up in front of hi uards sniffled and bit down their lips It had been hard, but their tih a lot, and their stareatly improved as a result

“But don’t think for ais over” Specter looked each of the Gilberto with this curriculum, he came back to me half a year later”

“Half a year later?”

“Yes He kept running until he reached his li”

The Watchguards sed

“After half a year… What happened tonervous

Specter shrugged “When he carades of all his skills had increased by one or rades of all his skills…”

“One or more?!”

Their jaws dropped Gilberto hadn’t been soenius He had started at the bottoht I would die after teeks of this training…’

‘But he did it for an entire six months He must have an iron will’

‘Players like the Gray Envoy don’t just appear out of nowhere’

‘He was just a normal Player, and all he did was train himself’

Hope blossomed in their chests With a precedent already in place—onist of a story

“But even if we can just run on our own, isn’t it hard to gain battle experience?”

“Why do you think that?” Specter asked “There are even stronger monsters here than on Earth”

“Then Gilbert-nih they called it battle training, their lives had never been in danger when they fought Specter Butthem could mean death

h they had a lot of experience hunting nificantly weaker than theer than you with your life on the line was co what I’?” Arthur asked

“Of course”

“Even if we’re not thinking the sa, I’ll do as you command, Captain”

Specter hadn’t expected them to react like this They looked calm, and their eyes were filled with deter was over, Arthur still called him ‘Specter’ instead of ‘Uncle’

“What is it?”

“You won’t be able to contact me for a few uys are gonna do isolation training?” Specter’s eyes softened as he looked at the Watchguards If one person gave up, two or three would follow “It’s gonna be hard”

“But we still have to do it” Arthur looked deterer than I thought We’re just a bunch of little fish in a big pond”

“We’re Players We can’t just live in soer”

Specter laughed out loud for the first tiuards looked at hi
