24-20 Early morning training with the Valkyrie Paladin

When I woke up in the morning, I heard a knock on the door as I was performing my magic manipulation training after drinking Object X.

''Yes, who are you?

"This is Ripnea from the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad, led by Miss Lumina. I have come to ask you to join us as we are about to begin our early morning training.

Thank you, I'll be right there. I'll be right there," he said, and then used cleansing magic for etiquette before walking out.

It was written in the spell book that purification magic was universal, but it was more effective than toothpaste or a washlet, and it was a super-universal magic that cleaned my breath and stool afterwards without the use of paper.

I opened the door, and in front of me...there was a woman with blonde hair and funwari curls and a cute face with hollow eyes and a bit of rugged armor that oddly matched her pretty face.

''It's nice to meet you, my name is Luciel. I'm sorry to have bothered you today.

''I'm Ripnea from the War Maiden Holy Knights. It's an order, and since it's forbidden for ordinary healers to set foot in the Holy Knight's training camp, let's go then.

I wonder. The words are dignified, yet the image of something faint and light-hearted does not disappear.

Thus, I followed Ripnea-san and moved, the door of the holy knight's training grounds opened, and I stepped into the training grounds.

''It's pretty spacious. The inside was as big as a four hundred meter truck.

It's the smaller of the squad's training grounds," Ripnea said. Lipnea replied.

'Huh? ...Oh, I see.

There you are. Thank you, Ripnea. Luciel, come here.

There is already a formation in place, and Lipnea-san has joined it, and there are probably ten of them in all, eleven of them together with Lumina-san.

The only people in this place are women? I ask honestly.

'Yes. What are you complaining about? He asked back.

"Well, I understand that you're a few steps ahead of me. But attacking a woman is emotionally difficult, isn't it...

I see. I knew you were ignorant. I'm sorry, but we have time for training. Please introduce yourself quickly.

Oh, yes. I am sorry. It's a pleasure to meet you all, my name is Luciel, a professional healer, and I'm currently serving as an exorcist. I joined the training because I wanted to retrain myself. I'm not sure if I'm going to be interrupting your work, but I'm looking forward to it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal of information on this. That's all.

Ha.

Then, after the warm-up exercises, we'll have a one-on-one, one-on-two and two-on-three combat drill. I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more information on this. You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

You will be able to find a lot more information about the company.

We'll just have to run a little first," said Queena.

I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. Maybe I can afford it. That's what I thought. But reality is not so easy.

'You're too slow. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier and more fun.

The other holy knights are also lapped by the other holy knights." "Hah, hah, hah," he said, running as hard as he could. Still, there was a reality there that was only seen as running in the eyes of these girls.

I was reminded that there is an absolute wall of status that determines physical ability in this world.

Regardless of what Master Brod had said about true strength, it was also true that it was harder to die if one's physical ability was high.

After about thirty minutes of running, we were humiliated to be eight laps behind.

Then team up and start your combat training. Luciel, I want to see how good you are, so take your own weapon and come at me with the intention of killing me.

'Don't they usually use a crushed blade?

Hmm. I'm not going to be able to get it right, so don't worry. I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it.

I'll trust that the difference in status is not an absolute difference in battle.

Thus, I challenged Lumina-san with a two spear style.

"Seyaaaa, teyaa, uraa, uraa.

I thrust out the lance held in my left hand and used its momentum to spin and swing my sword, I also kicked, assuming I would be able to avoid it, but I said, "There's a lot of gaps, huh? As soon as I heard that, my vision blurred and I realized I could see the sky.

'When did you start that style?

"Well, it's all about hiding in the maze.

"I see, I'm surprised you would dare to do something so reckless without the skill of the twin swords. Come at me again just like you were taught in the Adventurer's Guild.

Yes.

I regrouped and equipped the shield that had been left in my room since I left for the labyrinth for the first time in a long time, and moved as Instructor Brod had taught me to do.

My mind was reminded of the days of training with Instructor Brod.

~Reminiscing~

"Luciel, listen, when you're attacked by people, most of the time you're stronger than you are.

'Haha. That's true, isn't it?

''Yeah. If one of your opponents doesn't fight you, it's a good thing they don't fight you, but the world isn't so sweet.

Yes.

"But you have an advantage over most combatants.

'Recovery magic?

Yes. Besides, you can already move and wave your weapon and still do magic, right?

'Well, they made me do the same thing for a year and a half.

"When you're fighting a strongman, chant and aim for the big gap between you and the strongman.

"...I just have a bad feeling about that, don't I?

''Normally I'd use a return technique to take advantage of that, but that technical ability isn't clear to you, and if you're too good at it, it'll be returned too.''

'That's why I've got a bad feeling about this from earlier.

''Attack them in any way you can, and use your recovery magic to heal them. That's all I can think of.

A suicide attack, one false move could be catastrophic, don't you think?

Don't worry. I'll treat you hard enough to master it in the next six months.

I need help.

You don't want to die, do you?

"Yeah, I'm gonna die in here.

In the meantime, the kryptonite is bad enough, so I'll just go for the arms and legs first.

'What? Does it sound like you're going to attack the kryptonite eventually?

Come on, get ready.

"...that Brod instructor? Hey, you can answer the question. "Instructor Brod.

Let's go.

"AAAAAHHHH!

～End of recollection.

'Why are you crying? I meant to throw it gently earlier, but does it hurt?

No, I was remembering my training (the days of hell).

"I see. It must have been so (wonderful days) to cry over your training.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. I'm not going to be able to get a hold of you.

"Come at me from anywhere.

Hold the shield and lower your stance to strike the sword. Stick to the basics and attack while being aware that your footwork and body axis will not waver.

None of them hit. She's handless, so she slows down until I can see her, dodges and then attacks at the opening.

She manages to defend it with her shield and unleashes her sword.

Thinking that there's no point in doing nothing at this point, I decided to try and get some advice from her, so I decided to try a discarded attack with my resolve.

"Haaaah," he said, swiping his sword from left to right, opening the center of his body so that it would be easier to attack. This is the only way to create an opening that even Brod instructor praised.

It's not like you're making it up as you go along," he said.

Sure enough, a fist was struck there.

[Holy Healing Hand, Mother Earth's breath, my wish is to be the breath of angels feeding on magical power, heal me, high heels.

As soon as my body lit up, I swung the sword that I swung to the right earlier to the left with all my might.

As it turns out, it didn't hit. Lumina-san, who was moving at a speed that was visible, scraped away.

And "Brilliant! I blacked out as a voice said in my ear.

I... The next moment, it hit me. The next moment I felt a shock on my right cheek.

It's a very good idea to have a good time.

When I got up, I found Lucy and Queena.

Huh? Is this a training ground?

Yes. I'm done with my morning drills and I'm going to the mess hall.

"Lady Lumina asked me to find you.

'Oh, you were knocked out. Thank you both for waiting.

I stand up. I stand up while secretly hanging my heels over my right cheek.

'And by the way, I didn't expect to be knocked out, Luciel does pretty well.'

'I stuttered, too. I didn't think a healer would be recognized by Lady Lumina.

It didn't make any sense to me at all.

'Besides, the training continues, so let's get on with it and go to breakfast.

We're the last ones standing, so let's hurry up.

'Ah, yes,' I was rushed by the two of them to the cafeteria.

This is how the early morning training ended.
