CH 16

On the 10th of the 10th month, the day of the week on wind day, today is the day of the class which Donovan-san told me to participate compulsorily.

My initial goal was to be able to swing with the wooden sword, but I had to prepare for the regret that I was made into a punching bag during the training with Gilik and the rescue of my classmates, so it was a mess. I have repeated special training.

I mean, the muscle-brain skeleton is close to me, and the special training escalated more and more.

No, aren't I strange too? I thought, but maybe it's called training high, it seems that adrenaline and dopamine were leaking, so it was all-you-can-eat with the momentum of the moment, yes.

Well, it's amazing, my body is already amazing, it's amazing when I take it off, it's ripped, it's ripped.

If this is the case, I should be able to survive today's class ... Maybe.

When I checked at the reception desk of the guild to see if I had been applied for participation, naturally the application had been made, and the receptionist onee-san looked at me with pity.

Ah, it's well known that Donovan-san has his eyes on me.

No, so Otto-san, please stop paying your respects, because I'm not dead yet.

The class on wind day is not a classroom lecture, but a practical skill class, so I will head to the training ground.

Isn't the group that is carrying wooden swords and warming up the participants of the course?

While thinking such, I see the figure of Meull-san and Gilik who don't have to be there, what's the matter?

"Good morning, Muell-san, Gilik-san."

"Good morning Kent, yeah, I feel like you are getting stronger again ..."

"Hmm, don't be crazy, I don't think he's strong."

Hey, Muell-san told me that I'm getting stronger, and I'm basking in the good mood, so why do you have to get in the way, this mutt!

"That ... why are you two here?"

"yeah, I heard that Kent was going to take this class, so I came to visit for a while."

"I came to see how you were doing, be grateful."

"I wonder why Gilik is so hateful and just runs his mouth ... That's why he doesn't have a girl."

"Well ... I'm not interested in women ..."

You're not interested you say, even though you're looking at Muell-san with greedy eyes, this dog is crazy!

"But I wonder if I can meet Muell-san's expectations ..."

"Again, you ... You can't say that, eh!"

"Yes ... I'm sorry."

Hyah-Hmm, this morning's Muell-san is doing well.

"Well, don't mess around, go quickly, Chibisuke ..."

I don't know why he has to disturb people's good mood, if he does this, he'll thoroughly interfere with my relationship with Muell-san, eh.

"Mu, Muell-san, I'll do my best, please watch."

"Yeah, do your best, Kent!"

I thought it was a cheesy line, so I think I was able to blush with a good feeling and produce a pure boyishness.

Yeah, yeah, I'm in the acting sect.

After receiving Muell-san's encouragement, I headed to the training site before Gilik opened his mouth.

When I turned around, he was glaring at me with a look like he had eaten something bitter, but he couldn't get in the way of the class, and he was extremely scared of Donovan-san.

"Ah ... is this the meeting place for the class?"

"Ah, that's right, is this your first time for the wind day of the week?"

"Yes, today is my first time."

"Oh, yeah, by the way, are you a knight type or a surgeon type?"

"Um ... It was a failure judgment ..."

"Oh, is that right, but it's okay, you're still a novice here, so don't worry about it."

"What, you got a failure judgment and today is your first time in this class?"

"Oh, that's tough but it's okay, so don't worry."

"It's the failure judgment? That's tough ..."

"Yes ... well, that ... I'll do my best."

The people who participated in today's class seemed to all be good people, and when they learned that I was a failure, they gathered and encouraged me.

Actually, I'm a cheat magician, but I feel sorry for it.

Donovan-san, who plays the role of the lecturer, has appeared, so the circle surrounding me has been broken and the class is about to begin.

"One, two ... six, all right, then I'll start the class, the people who are here for the first time ... Kent alone, you didn't run away and came properly."

"Yes, I didn't feel like I could escape ..."

"Hmm, it's a wise decision ... Okay, everyone spread out and start swinging!"

"Yes!"

Being able to swing the wooden sword without difficulty is a condition for attending the wind day class, so it seems there is a need to confirm it first.

The quota is 100 times for each of the front swing up, swing down, swing down from the upper right to the lower left and swing up in the opposite direction, from the upper left ot the lower right, and from both the left and right sides.

When I swung the wooden sword for the first time, I felt it was quite heavy, but now it's extremely light, like waving disposable chopsticks.

The reason is that Reinhardt made a swing stick instead of a wooden sword on the third day of the special trining in the middle of the night.

The swing stick was cut down by Reinhardt and weighed about 50% more than the wooden sword.

Using it, I repeated swinging and stepping, and from the sixth day of the special training, I have been using a heavier swing stick.

That's why ordinary wooden swords are light, light.

"Hmm ... Kent, you're able to swing a lot, right?"

"Yes, I've been specially trained."

"Hmm ... I think I can enjoy it a little."

Yeah? What do you do when you enjoy it? I only have a bad feeling.

"Okay, everyone passed, then start the class, prepare your armor!"

"Yes!"

Is preparing the armor the one I used last time?

Except for me, everyone seems to have experienced this class, so when I followed them, I went to the warehouse of the training ground, and I started to wear the leather helmet, vest, and gauntlets that I used when practicing with Gilik.

Wow, after all, I don't want this gauntlet ... it smells.

But the last time I wore it, I felt the armor was heavy, but today I don't really notice.

"Okay, if you're ready, get out in front Kent!"

"Yes."

"I'm going to make arrangements, anyone is fine, choose a partner."

"Eh? Is it a sudden arrangement?"

"Yes, if you can beat three people, you can skip the class next week, now pick ..."

When Donovan-san said that, everyone pointed at themselves and started their appeal.

Well, when I said that this was the first time for me and I had a failure judgment, everyone kindly encouraged me, because they wanted to sucker me into getting them an easy win.

"Um ... I don't know who is who, so I'll leave it to Donovan-san."

"Is that fine? I might choose the strongest one."

"Yes, I'm planning to hit that hateful guy someday ..."

When Donovan-san heard my words, he smiled a terrible smile.

"Well ... I see, then I won't hesitate, Yzak, do it with him."

"I got it!"

Yzak, who was nominated by Donovan-san, happily stepped forward, and the others sighed with disappointment.

Yzak isn't as tall as Gilik, but he's tall, he's physically fit, and he looks the strongest of the five.

I see, this is what Donovan-san meant by having fun.

Yzak and I faced each other at a distance of about 5 meters.

"Hitting the face is prohibited, but you can hit outside of the armor. It will end when I judge that the attack will make the opponent incapable of fighting. Get ready ... Start!"

At the same time as Donovan-san's signal, Yzak stepped in fiercely and slammed into my sword.

If it was me from last time I practiced here, I would have been blown away trying to catch it.

But today I'm a bit different.

I expected him to charge me and make a big attack.

The moment Yzak swung his sword up, I stepped sharply towards him, parrying the wooden sword that was being swung down, and attacked his torso.

"That's enough, the winner is Kent!"

"Ooooooo ..."

Donovan-san's winning call incited screaming from the surroundings.

When I glanced at her, Muell-san clapped her hands in delight.

Gilik is glaring at me with a face that seems like I could hear him clicking his tongue, huh, what's your problem?

"Okay, get ready for Herman next."

"Yes."

"Herman is not tall, but he has a thick chest plate and looks very strong.

"Get ready ... start!"

Herman doesn't jump in because he saw how Yzak lost before him.

With his wooden sword held to the side, he tries to sneak around to my right hand side.

Facing him, I turned the tip of the wooden sword he was watching slightly to the right, and went left following Herman's movement.

Apparently, while Yzak charges in, Herman seems to be quietly aiming for a counter.

Then, should I start from here?

If you try to go sideways, you will have a stable situation and an unstable situation due to your footsteps.

When you open your legs firmly, it is easy to hit the opponent with a good stride, but on the contrary, when the stride is narrowed or crossed, the stride does not work.

Keeping an eye on the movement of Herman's upper body, I swing my sword at the timing when his stride narrowed, and yelled in front of him.

"Hey!"

Herman hurriedly lengthened his stride and struck out sideways with his sword from the right, aiming at my torso.

I stepped back and evaded Herman's sword and at the same time punched out with my guantlet.

"That's the game! Winner Kent!"

"Uooo ..."

Donovan-san's voice makes the screaming louder than before.

Muell-san is happily jumping up and down.

Did you fall in love with me?

I don't know, I still have one person left, so I have to be careful.

"Next, Colt, get ready."

The third person is the smallest person I've ever faced, but somehow I have a hunch.

He has a long tail and looks like a monkey, but is it a monkey beastman? I wonder what it is.

With a grinning smile, I feel strangely confident.

"Get ready ... start!"

"Ukyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."

"Huh ...?"

At the same time as Donovan-san's signal, Colt began to swing the wooden sword on the spot.

Naturally, I was in a position that he couldn't reach at all, and I was taken aback by the sudden action.

At that time, Colt thrust one had at me, while raising his voice.

"Wow!"

It can only be said that the first hit was a gift of special training.

However, Colt shoots one-handed thrusts in quick succession, like fencing.

"Ukya, Ukya, Ukya, Ukya!"

"Uh ... ku, ku ..."

Colt attacked me, who was on the other side of the field, with a continuous one-handed thrust.

"Ukya, Ukya, Ukya, Ukya, Ukyaaaaa!"

"Igi ... I'm done ..."

When I was pushed by the thrust of Colt and involuntarily turned my upper body back, my shin was hit.

"That's it, the winner is Colt!"

"Ukya! I'm going steadily, the next person is ..."

"Yzak, take him on."

Donovan-san nominated Yzak before Colt could nominate his next opponent.

"Well, hey, can't I choose the other person?"

"What's wrong Colt, are you saying my choice is wrong?"

"No, no ... I don't mean that ..."

Colt seems to have been trying to choose a partner that would be an easy match, and he seems to be very dissatisfied.

[ Kent-sama, you were thrown off by the other party's surprise attack. ]

[ Yeah, that's right, it suddenly turned white. ]

[ If you calm down and go around to the left side of the opponent, Kent-sama will win. ]

Yzak slammed Colt's one-handed stab, and then right in and decided the game easily.

[ Well, if you bring him to your own pace, he's not that strong. ]

[ That's right, that man relies solely on surprise attacks and doesn't have the basics, so he's fragile if you don't get caught in his operation or if his pace is disturbed. ]

[ Well, but maybe it was a good to lose to learn this lesson. ]

[ As expected, Kent-sama, it's important to learn your lesson from losing. ]

Yzak overwhelmed the next person he faced.

"Next, Kent, get ready."

"Yes!"

Donovan-san nominated me as the third person to fight Yzak.

Yzak facing me glares at me with a fighting expression, unlike the loose expression he had earlier.

"If it's Kent, I won't let my guard down this time."

"Thank you."

"Start!"

It was Yzak who stepped in casually before, but this time he held his sword aside like Herman and began to go to the left side.

His appearance is that of a feline beast aiming at its prey.

Yzak's fighting style is a tactic that overwhelms the opponent with power, and if they collide head-on, they will be defeated.

It seems that I have no chance to iwn unless I manage to take a chance and make a sharp blow.

Perhaps, in terms of ability, I think that Gilik is much better than Yzak.

However, while Gilik wasn't serious at all, Yzak is in serious mode because he wanted to step up to the next class.

As we move in a circle while looking for each other's gaps, the distance between us closes.

Sweat was dripping from my temple to my chin, and my neck was tingling with the feeling of tension.

"Shaaaaaaa!"

Yzak fired a sideways blow from a sharp step.

I tried to avoid it by jumping backwards like with Herman, but Yzak stepped deeply and I had no choice but to match his sword.

The side is the tip of the sword, and although I am receiving it at the brim, my hand is numb and I lose my strength and get pushed in.

Yzak takes the momentum and slashes his sword from the right.

I was able to sneak in during the first match, but this time I was pushed in and down, so I had no choice but to take it.

Even though there was a difference in body size, I received it while descending, so the sword I clashed with was flipped to the right.

"Oops ..."

"Zuryaaaa!"

"Ugyaa ..."

In the pursuit of Yzak, I was hit in my left arm because I couldn't defend myself in time.

It made a dull sound and I suddenly let go of my sword because of the sever pain that made me feel numb.

"Winner, Yzak!"

"Sorry! Kent are you okay?"

"Guu ... it's okay ... if I take a break ..."

While holding my left arm, I use my full power to self-heal.

Too much pain causes greasy sweat to flow.

"No, I don't think it's okay, I hit you quite hard and heard a bad sound ..."

Yzak is worried about me, but now it's hard to reply.

"It's okay ... I'm just a little numb ..."

"No ... but you ... Donovan-san, what should we do?"

"Once you calm down a little, take him to the medical office, and even if it's not broken, it will definitely be cracked ..."

No, it feels like it was completely broken, but it's okay, because the pain has subsided.

After checking the condition of numbness by grasping and opening my fingers, I slowly moved my elbows to relieve the numbness.

"Hey, no, Kent, don't force it."

"No, it's okay, Yzak-san, I'm already used to the numbness."

"Hey, really, you're small but sturdy, hey."

I continued to bend and stretch while using self-healing, I was able to reduce the pain and numbness.

"It's okay, Donovan-san, let me continue."

"Huh ... is it really okay?"

"Yes, if I rest a little longer, I'll be fine."

I thought I might be suspicious, but they won't think I'm using healing magic without chanting, and it would be too sad to retire here.

[ Kent-sama, you're a little too defensive. ]

[ Yeah, that's right, I pulled back because I thought I'd lose in power, so I was pushed in more. ]

[ Yes, if the opponent's power is strong, you have to meet him before the opponent's power is fully exerted. ]

[ Yeah, you can't tell unless you experience it in actual battle. ]

[ I really have to add a partner to the special training ... ]

[ I want to say that's impossible ... but I have to think a little ... ]

After that, I continued to spar with five people other than Yzak, and I managed to win against three people.

"Yeah!"

"Okay, Kent, next week is a class on wind day."

"Huh ... eh, that?"

"Is there something wrong?"

"No, no ... not ..."

"The above guys will be stronger again, so please train hard."

"Hah ..."

Oh, why am I happy to move on to the next class?

Do I have to continue the special training to become stronger again?

Um ... Isn't there a harem event with a cute girl that accompanies a cheat magician?

I'm sure there is ...
