The next day, after receiving information that Dragonmen was going to participate in the fighting tournament, Shinji decided to accompany Alvin and Emily to their training. The two had been informed of this in advance, and they gathered outside the city at their usual training spot.
”What is your plan to deal with a Dragonmen with a horn?”
Alvin spoke to Shinji while carrying a one-handed sword for the tournament on his shoulder. Alvin’s expression hardened after he talking about it.
”Let’s have Emily and I play at the same time. And Emily and Alvin will fighting one-on-one, with me backing her up”
”......As I expected, that’s what you’ll do”
He doesn’t think about that Emily is a very good swordsman, and she’s going to have a magical backup. Instead, he thinks about the Dragonmen with the dragon horn who could do magic and swordmanship alone.
”In the tournament rules, is prohibited, so you have a chance to win. Still, there were weapon handicaps rules”
”Ah, I want to use a greatsword......”
Alvin sagged in disappointment at Shinji’s words.
In the rules of the tournament, the weapon to be used in the competition was one-handed sword. The weight and length of the sword is the same as the most common standard size.
In addition, the sword has a spell that prevents the blade from ever cutting through a person. In addition.
And there is a ban on race-specific magic.
This includes the Dragonmen .
Prohibition of magic with slashing ability.
This applies to cutting magic such as .
Also, prohibition of special magic.
This is a measure to eliminate inequality in the use of magic by Upper ranking adventurers.
If a player fails to follow these four rules, they will be disqualified.
When Shinji thought of Himeno, he remembered that she had a sheath of a weapon inserted in her waist. It was a long and thin shape, not like a standard size sword by any means.
So, if Alvin had the same problem of not being able to use his favorite weapon, and if race-specific magic was also banned, then he might have a chance to win.
That’s what Shinji was thinking.
”Collaborating with Shinji...... It’s kinda nice ♡”
”Okay, okay, Emily, don’t move”
”Yes~”
Shinji put magic paper on Emily’s arms, back, hands, legs, and everywhere else, and glued them on with magic to prevent them from coming off.
”What’s that?”
Alvin’s face was aghast.
”Seriously ...... Is this how the Dragonmen with the horns will do......?”
”Well, I don’t know. I can’t say for sure because I haven’t seen them in action...... but you can see that fighting a magic swordsman requires a different approach, right?”
”Yeah. It’s a bad idea to get too far away from them. However, even if it’s too close, the magic seems to come from a free hand......”
”There’s even magic for close quarters, you know?”
In contrast to Alvin, who is thinking about ways to win, Emily is in a good mood and hugs Shinji’s arm.
”We worked together perfectly!”
”Well, I’m used to watching Emily’s moves......”
”This is the proof of our love for each other ......♡”
Kyaa ♡ Emily put her hands on her cheeks and was embarrassed, while Shinji stroked her head.
”Don’t be silly, I’ll do it next time. It’s all about trial and error”
”Okay, Alvin, are you ready?”
”Yes! I’ll fight and fight and fight!”
Thus, began Shinji and Emily’s training for Alvin’s battle against the Dragonmen.
_____________
This is Alvin’s training session for the tournament.
Alvin’s training for the tournament begins, as Emily, Shinji, and Alvin continue to fight against their powerful opponent, Himeno-chan.
Also, the tournament rules.
The rules of the tournament are too favorable to swordsmen, but since it’s a tournament for knights, the rules require participation with a one-handed sword, which is basic equipment for knights.
The blacksmith’s workshop treats the knights who buy weapons in bulk and do regular maintenance as better customers than the adventurers who buy weapons irregularly.
It’s not a fair competition, but rather a competition for knights, and anyone can participate, so there is a slight disadvantage.
The knights are happy to be able to fight the strong (adventurers) they haven’t seen yet!
The adventurers are also happy because they can fight the knights and might even get to know the awesome blacksmith!
The blacksmith is also happy because he’s discovered a great swordsman!
