Chapter 171: A husband begins his Knife Thrust's training!

Three weeks passed.

Kyoya's progress with The Assassin Craft was already outshining the other disciples when it came to his speed of learning. He grasped concepts like madman and his eyes continued to shine with sheer desire to become stronger.

This wasn't really seen by the disciples as they were busy with their own missions and the assassin hadn't issued any spars between them. There were just some evening talks between the disciples about The Assassin Craft to learn from each other's apprehension.

As the husband was always eager to become friends with new adventurers, he quickly became close to the disciples he met during his first visit. The other one was mostly silent, but listened to their talks.

And to not be excluded from these, he passed some of his own words from time to time.

The husband's progress increased more thanks to them.

"I feel like your knife is already close to my level… Amazing."

"Thanks. But I still can't see through your skills and I lack experience."

"If experience is what you need, then you will get it soon. What I don't understand is why would you still be forced to spar with a master."

Kyoya was speaking with the lady the most. He was also regularly visiting this place with Akaro as if it was his turn to look over the cat, but Xiaoxiao and others began their smaller missions as well to keep their abilities fresh.

So Kyoya, with his usual vibes and the cat, was appealing to the ladies. His charm with more than 500 points also could somewhat strike them, but this was indeed the unique husband's charm!

His will to make friends was also seen by the disciples.

Though everyone here was an 'assassin', the whole world was cold-blooded and its floor, so Kyoya hadn't thought once that it was bizarre for them to talk with him so casually.

"I also carve for some mission, you see."

"Haha, I will pray for you tonight then."

As the lady smiled, Kyoya answered with his usual one and both of them ate their evening snack before the night descended onto them. It was usually hot stuff thanks to the bonfire and this time Kyoya ate some meat.

He also had a little of Xaya's food as her food had to be eaten daily for bonuses!

It was also the fifth day outside home, so Kyoya had his sleeping bag prepared as well.

-

"You will be facing 14th floor adventurers today."

"Yes!"

Kyoya finally got a mission for himself.

This mission seemed easy from the start as Kyoya had already fought against stronger individuals. Of course, one's strength and unique abilities can either widen or narrow the gap, but the assassin didn't plan to allow Kyoya to go all out with his new abilities.

He knew that Kyoya was eager to try these in a real battle with strong adventurers scattered around the Grooma Kingdom, but that wouldn't bring much results for the husband.

"You will be fighting your 'peers' in strength, but you can only use Knife Thrust."

"Understood."

It was part of the training to polish up his abilities and the Assassin Craft, so Kyoya nodded without any pause and ventured closer to the Grooma Kingdom's walls. He was kinda nervous, but it was solely because he didn't want to get found out.

That was why Kyoya used his All Creation System and created a common mask. This mask could blend well with the fog around the unknown lands. In addition, Kyoya also created an overcoat in the same color for his escape.

These items were common and without any special abilities, so Kyoya could create these at will without any quest or special point.

The assassin naturally didn't ask any questions.

"This area is mostly taken by adventurers around your strength."

"Yes, I can feel it."

"If you will be forced to cut or slash, then retreat and begin after regeneration. I also left marks available only to your eyes around the forest. This is your escape path. You will also be able to tell when your mission ends."

Kyoya couldn't even answer this as the assassin left immediately after he completed his preparation. He left Kyoya all to himself, so the husband put the cat down on the tree, then prepared to begin his mission.

"There are a lot of them here…"

As hierarchy followed the strength anywhere, Kyoya found himself not near the main gates, but slightly far away to the right of the main walls. There was naturally hierarchy even outside the main walls with the strongest adventurers taking a close spot to the main gates. It made things easier for Kyoya as he felt like the troops from the Grooma Kingdom shouldn't visit this spot frequently!

There were also a lot of adventurers going back and forth, so using Knife Thrust unnoticed should be also so easy!

"I will be back soon. If you need to speak with me, then just use our system."

Kyoya whispered to the cat, then petted her before leaving for the mission. As Kyoya felt like some points got added to the satisfaction counter, he stood up and left Akaro alone on the tree's branch.

The cat didn't say anything, but her usual not interested eyes followed Kyoya's back until he couldn't be seen in this swarm of humans.

-

It wasn't just a name.

Kyoya's Ace Knife Thrust was unique and had its own natural concepts that hid many things from his enemies. The goal of the Assassin Craft was to add these natural concepts to his every move.

Furthermore, Kyoya knew that the mission would end when he got a new ability out from the Knife Thrust.

That was why he didn't wait a little before unleashing the first thrust.

Thud!

"Who? Who was here?!"

"It was him! This man in a gray coat!"

"Kill this fucker!"

There were either friends or enemies in the world for the husband.

He was on the path to make many enemies right now, but one could see him smiling softly as he ran. This was part of his training, so Kyoya was naturally trying to grasp the Assassin Craft's movement technique!

'I also want to use Joker's laughter too… But I should begin adding these trickster concepts after The Assassin Craft's completion'.

Thus, another week has been spent on the Knife Thrust.
