164-158 Final goal of training

It seems that there is always a town, albeit a small one, in the vicinity of Glandle's labyrinth, and after the sun went down, if we drove the carriage a bit, we could see lights in the distance and didn't have to stay in the field.

The fact that the town is by the side of the labyrinth is dangerous because demons can overflow from the labyrinth like this one, but since the Adventurer's Guild Headquarters is running it, it seems to be quickly resolved.

The goal is to secure a stable supply of magic stones, so they are the only country that can export magic stones to Nerdal.

''Master, why did you come to the labyrinth when you could see the town?''

'You don't have a taut ... well-honed air about you now. I'm trying to cultivate that.

...Was there ever a time when you had that vibe?

Yeah. That was when we fought in the Holy City Adventurer's Guild. I wish I'd grown up like that, but unfortunately, I'm not as tense now as I should be, or as critical.

........I think the time we fought in the Holy City was when we stepped through the Labyrinth of Trials.......

Was it when we managed to escape from the labyrinth while hiding in it for a long time and almost getting killed...?

Just remembering it, I really think we survived well........

''At that time, I was desperate to survive........''

'That's what you're missing right now, Omae. There are a lot of places where you can get through a battle because of the war demons, and I think you have a sense of security. But I think that sense of security is slowing down Luciel's growth rate. As for her lack of talent, she's spent more time on the death line than me and the war demons, so she should be able to regain that sense of security. That's where the real training begins.

Well, I'm sure you two have been in the line of death before, but you haven't had your arms and legs chopped off for more than six months like I have, and your master may be right.

But the thing that bothers me is that that's where it starts.

''Well, I guess I could have gone crazy myself at that time...''

If I hadn't had my mental tolerance raised from taking Object X, if I hadn't had my angel pillow, I would have had a lot to think about, but the biggest thing was that I didn't give up.

But if I fought the two of them, I'm sure that feeling would come back to me soon, wouldn't it?

"Luciel, you are training this time in order to turn your own cowardice, which is only available to you with that sharpened sense of yours, into a weapon of your own. That's why I need to push you a bit, but...

"...what the hell are you trying to get me to do?

The frozen eyes of Master Brod's icy eyes caused the pores of his entire body to open and he broke out in a cold sweat.

I was prepared for Master Brod's training, but as long as he said he was going to push me, my body almost cowered at the fact that it wasn't a half-hearted effort.

Thinking back, they wouldn't let me use my heels at all for muscle pain and bruising, they cut me seriously even though it's training, and when I can't stand up, they really can't stand up, or they're going to kill me, and as far as I'm concerned, I have no memories.

''Simply put, you'll feel only chi and magic and you'll be able to make a living from now on.

What?

''Normally I wouldn't be able to make you do something this dangerous, but I'm sure Luciel, who can use recovery magic, can master it. The essence of martial arts, reading signs and taking the initiative.

You can't tell me that kind of cartoonish story....

Moreover, when a master contains a hopeful sentiment of what a master must be, you can see that the odds are not even fifty percent.

''........There was someone who could do such a thing?''

'I heard there were a number of them, including Lord Leinster. Well, Lord Leinster is said to have heard the spirits, so maybe it's a little different.

You can't say that with such a nice smile but that's the same as saying that Lord Leinster couldn't do it on the flip side, or he didn't need to.

They're trying to get me to learn it, but is that really what I need to do?

''Well done. Let's gradually increase what we can do in the future.''

They were all dead except for the killers, so it may take some time.

We'll do everything we can to support you, so please, let's be strong together.

I'm sure Master Luciel will be able to do anything.

Lydia and I would be happy to assist Lady Luciel.

''I will help you to feel the magic power of the various attribute spirits, even if it's only in a small way.

For some reason, all of my followers were more motivated than I was.

And for some reason, it bothers me that they seem happy to hear that it's my training, but I'm sure these guys are going to regret giving me this particular training.

It would mean that they would have turned everyone else's time that Master had to devote to me.

Moreover, it's a hellish world where they are not allowed to be spoiled at all.

''Do your best to live up to your squire's expectations.

Oh, my God!

The moment I decided on the content of my training, I was suddenly crushed in the eye by my master.

I hurriedly tried to use the extra heel, but I felt a killing blow from my master and kept my distance.

''That's a good reaction. You can take the pain away with the heel, but once I heal you so you can see, I'll hollow out your eyeball this time.''

I knew that those words of fear weren't just a threat.

My mentor is a man who, when he says he'll do something, he does it.

But unlike in the past, I decided to prove that I could say no as well as yes.

'Master, when are you going to have a mock fight with Lionel?　More than the two of you I was looking forward to it. You have some things to do before you train me, don't you?

'Of course. But if you want to return to me and my war demons in their prime, you must shed the rust. If Luciel can sense the breath of the earth and the rush of the atmosphere, if he can grasp the signs and magic power, he should be able to imitate everything I do and sublimate it into his own. Then there is no reason why you can't win, even if your opponent is a dragon or a demon. If I want my students to reach that point, I'll make my best days from now.

Whirlwind. You're not the only disciple of Master Luciel. Well, I'll give you credit for your guts. But it's not enough to just imitate them. You'll need to have the reflexes to react to it, the skill to handle it, and the physical ability to do so.

I'm sure you can do that as long as you're on a higher level. And if you can grasp the signs and magic, if you're going to imitate us, you should be able to feel the difference between you and us.

"Luciel, get a fresh start. When all is said and done, life will be peaceful.

As I said that much, I heard the sound of my master's footsteps moving away from me in my ears.

While I thought that master (human) was a mess, I felt nostalgic for this unreasonable but beneficial training for me.

I almost cried when I imagined the harshness of spending time in the ant labyrinth with this loss of vision, but I decided to do my best just because I was happy with the anticipation.

'Master doesn't look like he's going to eat, but let's have dinner, shall we?

Of course I'm going to eat it.

I could hear my voice, and I could hear my mentor's footsteps turning back.

I had no problem with everyone's food as I touched the magic bag and what was in it popped into my head and took it out of the list.

But I couldn't eat without being handed a spoon and fork and guided, and I was given a humiliating arn... by my master.

'Luciel, now Omae is like a baby. If you're frustrated, you'll be able to feel it all.

I knew this was supposed to be a pep talk, but it couldn't be good, and I couldn't spend time on something I didn't know when I would be able to do, so I prayed for my heart support that could be called a tranquilizer.

Skill Proficiency Appraisal.

With the loss of my vision, I made the decision to check which proficiency level would increase, and to start the effort to find an efficient way to acquire more proficiency so that the increase in proficiency would be higher.

For the first time in a long time, this feeling gradually became more of a sense of enjoyment than anxiety, and he decided to focus all his efforts on surprising his master.
