Vol 11 Chapter 211 (2/2)

Max stood from his chair, corrected his posture, and looked at Lyle’s seat When it let out a pale light, Lyle appeared in it

Sleigh… the Third silently looked at the Fourth

And the Fourth, Max, turned to Lyle

『Lyle, today I think I’ to pass down my final Skill』

The Third watched him smile as he said it to Lyle And he watched the of the door of memories…

『Max, aest I’ve troubled you quite a bit, but… you were much more splendid than I』

… He muttered…

It was a road that extended without end

In the past, to see the Third who’d fallen in battle, the path the Fourth had hurriedly tread had been carved deeply into his memory

The thought of wanting to go faster to meet the Third had manifested his Skill, 【Speed】

And from its influence, he was able to meet his father while he still drew breath And he could carry on the geenerations

In the blue sky were heavy white clouds

Looking up at it, I so to tell me And it was precisely because I understood that I asked

“Isn’t it a little too sudden?”

The Fourth smiled

『Is that so? I don’t think so My role… no, I believe all I can help you with ends here』

This tiround, and covered it with both hands It felt like tears would come out, so I spoke in jest

“I’m a little busy, so let’s make it when I have a little more time See, the one who said the mood was important was you, wasn’t it?”

The Fourth let out his voice and laughed

『No, that’s in dealing omen But since it seems you properly remembered it, that’s fine It’ll be necessary froet it down, so make sure to practice it in combat Ah, with Novem-chan and the others, I mean』

Who else is there? I got my breath in order, and met his eyes head on

“I wanted you to teach h”

『I’ve taught you the basics The rest is for you to row over it Or, and I don’t mean Growth by that, mind you』

In regards to his words, I gave a bitter smile And when his expression turned serious, he moved to my side in an instant

When I looked to the side, the Fourth placed a hand on my shoulder

『… 【Full Drive】 It’s e to master it, perhaps you’ll be able to put up a bit of resistance against Celes』

To the utmost, it was just resistance, and the Fourth didn’t say I could win Of all else, in pretty much her base state, Celes was able to accomplish a similar feat

When I sed ers fro them around

Two, four, six, eight… after going that far, I saw his forers he’d thrown into the air were cleanly stuck into the ground around me

The Fourth was behind ers

“That’s quite a radical way of teaching you have there”

The Fourth gripped the two daggers in his right hand, using his left to correct the position of his glasses

『If it’s teachingyou how to use ht with ers alone?』

I had sparred with the Fourth a nuers

“You never needed theainst me, you mean?”

『No, fundaers are ruined in no ti multiple Skills…』

Swiping er However, what I parried was but one, and the second one stuck into ht shoulder

Pulling out the deeply-eer, I was shocked by its output

“… You used the First’s Skill to raise the ier at a difficult point, you put off ”

Using the First’s, and Second’s Skill, he raised the daers with precise aim

But taking t daggers in hand, the Fourth

『Too bad I was also using the Third’s Mind It looks like the effect was light on you, but I dulled your reaction speed a little』

When he took a stance with his daggers, I leapt forward, and thrust with the sabre But the Fourth before my eyes disappeared, and I was carved up across my body

Ar, torso, nape, and head… blood spouted from all sorts of places

『Mind isn’t just hypnosis It can even make hallucinations Even if the enehtest effect, then it’s as you can see』

I turned around, but the Fourth wasn’t there And I heard a voice froain

『It really is just a Skill that lets you move quicker than usual』

I turned again, and the Fourth wasn’t there

This tionally to ic around

“Thunder clap!”

Thunder roared, and lightning fell around As a dust cloud rose, this time the voice came from all around

When the dust cleared, there were a few dozen Fourth Generation Heads around

I hurriedly corrected ht shoulder Next h

『… No et therief, the Third’s Skill really is unfair Even I can’t say if I’d win or not』

Correcting h I tossed them in a different direction froers I tossed were reappeared with their points co at me

I hit thes To probe for presences around, I used the Second’s Skill… Field The Sixth’s Field as well to search him out

But even if I pinned down his response, he’dat e curves as they flew

Countless daggers fell around round

Of them, I took one in hand, and threw it in the direction of the Fourth’s presence In er likely thrown by the Fourth spun horizontally, as it knocked the one I threw off course

“Hah… hah…”

As long as you fought in the Jewel, injuries would instantly heal No, perhaps there were never any injuries from the start, and you only felt the pain

Within that situation, I was gradually getting able to follow his presence

The frequency I repelled the daggers increased, and my injury rate decreased

Around us, the blue sky gradually clouded, diht

“You’re plainly strong, aren’t you Just froe service in internal administration, and you barely had any medals on the battlefield, you know!”

I knocked aside a dagger, and as it spun through the air, the Fourth caught it in his hand

『The times were as they were There were plenty of bandits, and plenty of ate them a number of times I wasn’t blessed the abundance of the plains of war, but there were still skir territories, you hear』

The scenery of the road extending beyond the horizon had grown dark

It was starting to rain

But my eyes ide open

『… Looks like you’ve gotten the knack for it』

I could see the rain slowly falling to the ground And my reactions could keep up with the Fourth’s movements

As he juht him with my sabre

『Nice reaction As I thought, you have talent I e at the end of my twenties, you know』

As he jumped back to take distance, I retook my stance

『… Ok, let’s move onto the end』

Taking off his glasses, and tucking them into his breast pocket, he lowered his body While the rain was getting stronger, it looked toslower

And at the end, it looked as if the raindrops had stopped in the place As the Fourth e forward
