Chapter 3: Ghost Raid
The day changed to the next day。I went to school bare handed。Though I planned to get a weapon of ot about it when I watched the play with Ristia。
Since I didn’t have any choice then I’ll just borrow the weapons of the school for today’s battle lesson。
Today’s practice shall have a real battle so the students truly had to prepare their oeapons。The people who didn’t bring any had no choice。
When I went to school and looked、there were only several students besidesany weapon of their own too。
I had colad for a briefclass so they didn’t really need any weapon originally。
That is why I alone went to the teacher to borrow a single sword before proceeding to the battle arts lesson。
Battle arts isn’t only a single year till next year but since this will be needed for our whole life when a time comes where monsters shall appear before us so ti’s necessary for o to school without any weapon prepared for the first day of real training、the glances of the teachers were painful。
Half of today’sand the other half shall be the weapon training。The people who have ic classes & the priests and the shrine o back and start their duties。
When I and Ristia had an exciting conversation about the play yesterday、Kiri ca her work clothes so she can return to her temple duties。
「Ristia、I’m really sorry for yesterday」
「Ah、Kiri。Don’t worry about it。Since the shrinetickets for it next tiether at that tireatest」
「Then I’ll indulge you at the next time」
Kiri smiled and bowed politely like what a shrine maiden would do while she looked at my direction afterwards。
「So you ith Ristia asout with only us seldom happens so I’m jealous」
As Kiri said that、she scowled at me for a bit。
Fwehh、Is she really jealous of ot the deliciousto be hers certainly did happen。
「Ahahaha、thank you for yesterday」
I bowedlike it’s an apology。
「Mouuu」
(TLN: How can I freaking translate this……well just watch more anime then you’ll know that “Mouuuu”)
Kiri puffed her cheeks and sent another glance of protest to h。I haven’t seen the sight of the shrine in with。
With that、it didn’t have any strength but looked very cute even if howlike eyes。
「Kiri、If you don’t go now then you’ll be late」
The person who called Kiri Inea as a Shrine ht and a child like face and though she’s alright with being seen as soirl。
「That’s right。Shall we return now。Then Ristia、Ernea、let’s meet tomorrow moreover」
While Kiri bowed to us、the re shrine maiden Ruiseine has finally catched up so they can walk hoether。
「Let’s rush to the training place too」
Ristia urgedplace in a hurry。
The training place is on the site next to the school。If you would ask why they didn’t place it within the school is because of the purpose of this place is to attract and subjugate the monsters that would come here。
When we arrived at the training place、the other students were already there & they were showing off their weapons to each other while waiting for the teacher’s arrival。
The students who brought their oeapons truly are e is easy & it was popular since it wouldn’t be in the way since it can just be put in one’s waist。There were also people who had spears and axes with shi+elds too。
Though I kno to use spears、but the shi+elds are…is what I was thinking。Though shi+elds were personal and effective but when faced with large monsters, demons、or with the eth then it would be less。If that is so then ht equipment is what the teachers said in the seat study。
When the teachers and the retired knights of the kingdom came and inspected everyone’s equipment、the class started。
「Now then、do you all understand why is it that when you all entered this school up to the current, you all were banned to bring your oeapons?」
With the question of the teacher、I answered。
Though it was a general question for everyone、it’s unfair for everyone to glance at me。
「After testing the various weapons of the school first of all to ascertain what kind of ar for the ti their oeapon」
「That is correct。Then、did Ernea not ascertain the weapon that he will use since he didn’t bring any today?」
Uuuuh、I became red at the teacher’s nasty words。
The students of this class began to laugh。
This is really e。
However、it’s true that I haven’t decided on the weapon that I’ll be using。Though I’ve used various swords, bows and spears but I didn’t have anything that I could use har a sword today。
「The practice that you learned will be applied today by using the weapons you brought for the future。Be aware of your surroundings when brandishi+ng your weapons since those have real edges right now」
After what the Teacher said、we separated into the kinds of weapons we had and practiced。
Since I was using a sword、I entered the saroup as Ristia。
Even if I say it’s a sword but it was a lump of iron。Is it because it’s not needed to be carried that I immediately felt short of breath with it’s heavyness。Different froe bloith his saroup。
A boy who had both his hands holding a sword brandished it。His name is Kijirumu it seems。He wielded the heavy sword slowly but his physique was pretty good but his body didn’t flow perfectly with his sword。
He’s not a perfect enehtly even if he gave off all his strength。
It’s not because he was the chosen one of the holy sword、but because he already possesses a talent different froainst Ristia、they would just let him teach the students too。
I shall also so showered with eyes of envy。While thinking of that、I restarted e sword up and down。
Even if I didn’t become like that、I would need a physical ability to cope up by myself with a monster that would appear to uys like Ristia to teach ently practiced。
Then whento bee noon slowly、the vicinity of the entrance of the training area became noisy。
When I looked at as happening、several people who are dressed like adventurers rushed to the inside。
「Ghosts have been attracted to this place、all students must take shelter！」
The person who said that had a splendid arh voice。All the people in the training are got alert and stood immediately。
「Ghosts you say！」
Even Ristia was surprised too。
That wasn’t ihosts usually can’t be seen。
Outskirts、or you can say that it would infest the outside of the town and would take a person’s life and would also cause harhly three of those existences。
First are the h they wouldn’t only show up outside but also don in which they can be considered to be an annoyance but it would be alright to face against it if you can fight。I’ht now to be safe from those kinds of monsters。
When defeating ic stones froic stone is dependent on the monster it came from and those were indispensable necessities for our daily life。
A fla it in one’s clothes while using water ic stones to purify ater, river water or pond water so it would be safe to drink it。
Though it’s an essential necessity for daily life but since the demands for the consumption of those articles are many、there were a lot of adventurers ould hunt ic stones。
The next ones are call er and more ferocious than wild beasts but they basically won’t enter any places where the humans live。They would just hurt those they encounter in theanimals。
