Chapter 050: Distant heights and welcome party
Translator: Tseirp
The Deviant Saint’s Whimsical Day was being held in the Adventurer’s Guild training ground.
Pale light radiated out with me in the center, completely healing fractured or broken bone in an instant. When they witnessed this scene, not only the adventurers, even the healers and Priest Knights who tagged along were tongue tied in astonishment at the magic’s efficacy.
“Is it me or has it become even more amazing than before?”
“Well I have been through various situations. Are these the last for today?”
“Yeah. Wait a moment. Hey newbies, this is the healer that worked in this Adventurer’s Guild 2 years ago. The only guys who don’t know about him are the ones who were not here 2 years ago. I’ll demonstrate to you all how your seniors became stronger so stay and look for a while.”
“Eh? You mean we’re doing it now? What about Grulga-san’s cooking?”
“Well of course we’ll end it when it is time to eat. I’ve told him that we would be late so don’t worry. The main character is always late anyway.”
” … Shisho won’t be convinced otherwise right.”
“Of course. Very well, we’ll start with 「Taijutsu」. Come at me.”
“Here I come.”
I instantly accelerated by circulating the magical power within my body at high speed, set up an 「Attack Barrier」 and performed a tackle.
A 『Don』 sound rang out.
“Not bad for a tackle. But, if you can’t beat the opponent down with it then it leaves you open to attacks.”
An intense pain ran through my back. It felt like he slammed down with his right fist.
“Owowow, 「Heal」”
I endured the pain and healed myself. This time I went to grab Shisho’s legs, and with a push, even Shisho’s body was sent floating. I quickly wound my right arm through his groin and around his waist, and grabbed his right shoulder with my left arm, completing the form for a body slam.
When I was in mid throw, I felt something wound around my neck and the next instant, I crashed head first into the ground.
I instantaneously performed no-chant 「Heal」 in my head. The next moment, while I had my head facing downwards, I saw Shisho’s shadow on the ground and had a bad feeling, knowing that it would be a kick towards my belly. I immediately tensed my abdominal muscles, before something heavy blew me away and I bounced on the ground a few times before stopping.
“Ouchhhh. Why did you drop me on my head. I could have died.”
Isn’t this completely against the rules in DDT? (TL: DDT is a Japanese Pro-wrestling promotion)
“Bullshit. But it looks like your body has strengthened reasonably. Looks like this will be interesting.”
“Oh my god he has entered battle maniac mode.”
“I’ll be attacking first.”
“Ossu.” (TL: Doesn’t really translate well into English. Pretty much a sound made to signal your intent and pump yourself up.)
The instant Broad-shisho disappeared, I had already jumped directly upwards. But the impression of Shisho disappearing should just be because he moved at ultra-speed, and not because he really disappeared.
I observed below me believing that was the case and I saw him for a split second! But it was all in vain as he grabbed my leg and slammed me into the ground, immediately followed by his foot stamping down towards me.
His foot accelerated in mid air, urgh, are the Adventurer’s Guild instructors monsters? I erased the pain from being slammed against the ground with a Heal and frantically rolled to a side.
“Hou. So your reaction time to attacks that you’ve received as usual is different from attacks that you’ve never seen before. This shows the result of your training.”
… How did Shisho’s motivation switch get switched on? Please tell me how to make sure it doesn’t get switched on. As I thought about that, I felt that Broad-shisho was still holding back so I tried asking.
“I’ve levelled up and my status have increased but why is it that I still can’t catch up to Instructor Broad? As a reference, what’s Broad-shisho’s level? Of course it’s not related to combat but as a target to surpass Broad-shisho.”
