Volume 14 - CH 5

My sword master, Welbard-sensei, and Serina are having a match.

If he's that skilled, he'll be able to handle Serina's Starlight Attack.

Serina used her left hand to shamelessly unleash a trifecta of fireballs, forcing Welbard into a defensive stance before slashing in.

「Aah! Hey! Idiot!」

I couldn't help but yell at Serina's attack.

Who would even use a smoke ball?

That's not what I meant!

「I'm sure I'll be seen through if I don't do something like this.[Starlight Attack]!」

As the white smoke spread, there was a squeak sound, and the sensei seemed to have blocked Serina's sword, but it gave me a chill.

「*cough*, *cough*, That's the end!」

Ione stopped the game.

After I used my wind magic to blow the smoke out, everyone sat back down.

「I see, your special move has a holy special effect. That looks dangerous, even if I'am resistant to it.」

Welbard seems to have seen right through to the effect. That's great.

「Yes, it seems to ignore HP.」

「Hou~. This is ...... Everyone, this technique can not be told to others, you understand?」

「Hmm? What do you mean, "Ignore HP"?」

Billy doesn't seem to know what it means, but that's probably for the best, since he's got a big mouth.

「Ah, then, even if you graze it, ......」

Yulia came up with the idea right away, but yes, as long as it hits, all of Serina's blows will have the same result.

「I suppose so.」

Sensei nodded, as if he could predict the effect.

「What is that? I don't understand. Explain it to me, Alec.」

「Hmm.」

「Billy, it's already dark. You have to go home now. I'll see you tomorrow.」

Ione did a good job of diverting the conversation.

「Right, I think Billy should go home now.」

said the teacher.

「What? Fine. Oops, oh no, it's time for dinner. See ya!」

Billy is so energetic as he runs home.

「I hope he's a little more relaxed now.」

Sensei chuckles.

「He's just a kid, after all」

Fritz shrugged his shoulders, too.

「Kkuhh, if you have such bullshit special moves, you don't have to learn swordmanship」

Yulia banged her fist on the floor in anger, but I guess that's not true.

「No, you're wrong, Yulia. Serina techniques are useless if she doesn't hit her enemies, and the techniques with attributes can be disadvantageous in some situations.」

Said the teacher

I don't remember Serina's special moves didn't work because of its attributes, but going by my knowledge of magic, of course there must be some compatibility.

「I see.」

「Besides, if you want to refine your skills, you should not rely on Starlight Attack for a while.」

「That's right. I have to think that there are enemies that don't work with my Starlight Attack, and I have to refine other techniques.」

「That's not what I'm trying to say, but well, it's good to try out different techniques. Alec, do you think you will stay in this country for a while?」

「No, I haven't decided anything in particular.」

「I see. Well, you can always come to the dojo while you're here. We have a new sensei and a new master.」

Sensei looked at Fritz and Yulia with a smile.

「Uekkkk!」

Yulia even screamed, as if she was afraid of her superior.

「Is there anything we can teach Alec?」

Fritz seemed to be wondering the same thing.

「Yes, there is. They have improved their level, but they are still only intermediate in swordmanship. There are a lot of techniques they don't know. ...... Oh, yes, Alec, you wanted to know about Magic Swordman and Dimension slash, didn't you?」

「Well, yeah. But I'm not in a hurry, because my level has increased and I have more skills.」

「I see. Since then, I've been looking that information, and I've heard that there are Magic Swordman in the magical kingdom of Austin.」

「Magic system, huh? I see.」

If that's the case, it's no wonder that Welbard, who knows a lot about swordsmen, doesn't know anything about it.

「As for the dimensional slash, no one seems to know about it. It's not just about slicing through the sky or wind, is it?」

「Yes. Because it cuts through dimensions, it cuts through everything in the world. Whether it's mithril, adamantite, or orichalcone, you can ignore the hardness of your opponent. Perhaps even the astral body can be easily cut.」

I reasoned, adding my own knowledge from my own research. It's not like I haven't been to the Royal Library of Grand Sword before.

「Hou~, this is a technique that is unfathomable when it comes to cutting not only matter, but also spirits and mental waves at the same time. Adamantite is the hardest metal in the world, and orichalcone is a phantom metal whose name only appears in mythology. I've sliced mithril armor with iron, but I can't help but break my sword when it comes to adamantite. Even with mithril swords. Perhaps there's a different dimension to seek than speed and strength.」

It's a realm that speed and strength cannot reach.

I also asked my teacher and Fritz and the others about the black sea anemone, but they didn't know anything about it either.

「Hmmm ...... that was helpful. Thank you, sensei.」

「No, no, no, I haven't said anything to be thanked for.」

「Well, I'll leave you to it then.」

「Oh. Ione is ......」

「I'm going back to the inn, too」

「No, you should probably stay the night, at least for today.」

I say. This is her parents' house.

「I understand. I'll follow the leader's words.」

Leaving Ione at the dojo, we left the place.

「He's a nice guy, isn't he, Welbard-sensei?」

Serina said with a smile.

「Well, yeah. I told you, right?」

「Yeah. Are you going here again?」

「In my spare time, yes. For the time being, we're looking for black sea anemones.」

「All right. I think I'm gonna have to train here.」

「Have it your way.」

I heard footsteps running behind me, so I looked at PK with caution, but it was Yulia.

「Um, everyone, I'm sorry for being so rude to you today!」

「Let's stop talking about it anymore. I'll show my face again, and you can be my partner.」

「Yes, I'd love to! I'm at your disposal for anything you need.」

Hou~.

「Wait, Yulia, if you don't promise to limit yourself to swordmanship, this guy will take you to bed in no time.」

「What?」

「Serina, you... ......」

「What, am I wrong?」

「No, not at all.」

「Sheesh...」

「Whaaaaaaat?!!」

「That's my master for you!」

「Meena, don't spoil your master.」

「Sigh」

It's not going to be easy to have sex with Yulia if she's going to stick with Serina.

Well, it's better here. This is the Welbard Dojo, you know.
