75. Taming (2)
Jenna scratched her cheek and blinked.
It was a puzzled expression. I said.
“What are you doing? It’s not going up. Two people are waiting.”
“You’re asking me to fight those two? It’s scary for some reason...”
“Don’t worry. You’re stronger.”
It is true.
Jenna had the experience of winning me once. It was the result of a mix of ugliness and half luck, but winning was winning. I don’t think I’ll lose against two people who don’t match at all.
Belquist’s eyes went cold.
“I heard you well. But aren’t you ignoring me too much? I don’t know about you, but I don’t think you’ll lose to that young lady.”
“You’ll know if you try.”
“More than anything, I don’t like fighting with her. I’m good enough on my own. It’s just a hindrance.”
“You do what I say.”
The two looked at each other and started growling.
I didn’t think it was good, but it seemed worse than that.
I said.
“Then show me the results. If you beat Jenna, I’ll fight for as long as you want.”
“I hope you don’t break that promise.”
I chinned Jenna.
Jenna hesitated for a moment, then sighed deeply and took a quiver from the display case. The quiver contains an arrow with a round tip. Its killing power is weak, but it has the penetrating power to tear flesh and muscle.
“I will leave it up to you.”
Entering the arena, Jenna greeted awkwardly.
Belquist nodded and spoke to Nerissa.
“You are out.”
Nerissa smiled coldly and slid aside.
Belquist gripped the hilt of the sword.
“I’m going.”
ping!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zena’s arrow was shot. Belquist ducked to avoid it. At the same time, a second arrow aimed at the leg. Avoided that too. At the same time, a third arrow aimed at Belquist’s head.
ping! Ping ping ping ping!
Belquist’s expression hardened.
A red light flashed in Jenna’s eyes. The effect of spotting weaknesses. In addition, rapid fire followed by rapid fire aimed at Belquist’s whole body. Belquist swung his sword and knocked out several arrows, but he was helplessly pushed back and cornered in the arena.
And the 21st arrow grazed the nape of Belquist’s neck and got stuck in the barbed wire fence.
obvious mismatch.
Had he tried to hit it, the arrow would have lodged itself in Belquist’s airways.
I spoke to Belquist, who was frozen in the corner of the arena.
“Didn’t I tell you? I’m stronger than you.”
Jenna faced me dozens of times, who had a strong resistance to throwing weapons.
He knew very well how to shoot an arrow to make it difficult for the opponent to avoid and block it. If it got caught properly, there was no way Belquist could handle the difficult shots.
“Was it a frog in the well?”
Belquist caressed the wound on his neck.
“I say it again. Fight together with Nerissa. The two of you must work together to defeat Jenna. The deadline is two days. If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to find another member.”
I spoke.
“We fight many enemies, strong enemies in our missions. If you’ve seen it, you’ll know. But why are you trying to fight alone? You’re not even basic.”
In the initial briefing, both of them replied that they knew, but the reality would be different.
There are things you cannot do alone.
I was thinking of making this perfectly clear.
“Isn’t it my turn?”
Nerissa stepped out.
‘Stubborn.’
Nerissa didn’t last long with Jenna. All of the throwing spears and daggers missed, and before reaching the range of the three swords, an arrow pierced his right arm.
Nerissa left the arena without a word.
Then he gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow.
I chuckled.
“As you can see the result. Both of them lasted less than a minute in the individual event.”
The difference in level and skill cannot be denied.
However, he lacked experience as well.
Belquist brushed off the blood on his left hand and said.
“Can we beat that lady together? Okay. I don’t like it, but I’ll try.”
When Belquist glared at him, Jenna smiled shyly.
After healing her wounds, Nerissa returned to the arena. There was a rare enthusiasm in his cold expression. Belquist and Nerissa stood side by side.
“Game 2. It won’t be easy this time.”
Jenna replaced the empty quiver.
“I’m going.”
Belquist and Nerissa scattered left and right.
It was the same way it used to pincer me.
‘It’s terrible.’
Jenna’s continuous shot was fired at Nerissa on the right.
As Nerissa’s three swords danced and bounced arrows, Jenna quickly ran out and swung the dagger in her left hand. A thin stream of blood spurted out. Nerissa stepped aside, missing the triple sword. Jenna changed her weapon in the same way she swung the dagger, then somersaulted and fired an arrow. The target is Belquist on the left.
The results were unchanged.
Belquist lasted longer than the first time, but was unable to break through the rain of arrows.
I said in a low voice.
“What are you doing? You’re worse than alone.”
thud!
Belquist hit the barbed wire fence with her scabbard.
“Damn it.”
“It doesn’t change even if you curse. Or should I join the 2nd party? They don’t train like this there.”
“Two people are missing, so I’ll have to increase the intensity.”
“I knew it!”
Gizzards were added to Iolka that morning.
and afternoon.
The two only showed up at the training center as the time approached evening. I sheathed my sword and approached them both.
“Are you ready enough?”
“As much as you can.”
Nerissa replied.
Belquist was expressionless, but the desire to compete could be seen in his eyes.
“Jenna.”
“Yes, I’m coming.”
Jenna, who was practicing at the shooting range, came down.
Jenna wiped her sweat with a towel and looked at them alternately.
“Are you both ready? My brother said it was a single plate.”
“It’s ready.”
“I’ll go up first.”
Jenna agilely stood on top of the arena.
Two daggers were hanging on the left side of her belt, and a shortbow and quiver were hanging on the right side.
“Do as we agreed.”
Nerissa whispered to Belquist.
Belquist furrowed her eyebrows, but then untied them again. Then
the two entered the arena. The iron window slammed shut.
“The rules are as they were said yesterday. Use of actual weapons. No other restrictions. You only have one chance.”
“I know.”
Nerissa drew her three swords.
Belqist also unsheathed them. Belqist straightened up and muttered.
“It’s not for me. But I can’t help it.”
The match begins.
As always, Jenna starts the fight first.
“...?”
Jenna tilted her head instead of pulling out an arrow
. ” I’m going
anyway!”
Zena’s arrow was shot at Nerissa.
Nerissa has weaker throwing resistance than Belquist. It was difficult to parry the arrow with a sharp sword with a thin blade. Throw the weak side down first. A natural decision But
Belquist, who was standing next to her, moved and split an arrow that was aimed at Nerissa.
Nerissa then threw a dagger.
Jenna managed to roll her body to avoid the dagger. At the same time, a second shot followed. Jenna was in any position. It had the ability to continue shooting. Two arrows aimed at Nerissa’s body.
“Now I can see it.”
[Skill Awakening!]
[‘Belquist (★★)’ has acquired ‘Throwing Resistance’. !]
As Belquist swung his sword, the arrows fell side by side.
Belquist, holding the blade to the side, rushed at Jenna.
“It’s too far.”
Jenna calmly bore the arrow through the string.
The distance between the two sides wasn’t close. It was still in Zena’s territory. Five arrows were fired at Belquist, aiming for vital points and gaps in movement.
Belquist dodged one arrow and knocked out two. Two
arrows remained. Unavoidable bearing and speed. However, Bell Kist didn’t stop charging in. Nerissa suddenly appeared from behind and split the two arrows with a sharp sword.
‘It took two days.’
I sighed. ”
If you can’t block it alone, you can block it together. You didn’t
know something simple, so you delayed like that.
Belquist and Nerissa covered each other’s weak points, broke through the fire, and came close to Jenna’s attack range. The
two From there, it split left and right, and
joined at the same time.
‘It’s over.’
“Oops!”
Jenna kicked the barbed wire and jumped up to avoid Belqist’s slash.
The dagger chased after Jenna. Then Nerissa rose to the same position and stabbed her with a dagger. Along with that, Belqist stabbed her from the bottom up. “Ugh!”
Jenna’s posture faltered. The dress was torn. Nerissa
grabbed Jenna who hadn’t caught it yet.
The dagger in her left hand touched Jenna’s neck.
“It’s over.”
“I lost, I lost. ”
?”
Jenna scratched her head.
“It’s this easy.”
Belquist murmured dejectedly.
I laughed and stepped out. ”
I struggled all day because I didn’t know how easy it was.”
No.
There, the fact that the strength of the group takes precedence over the strength of the individual. It’s just that they couldn’t accept it emotionally. I only made them realize that part
.
“If we fight like this, can you beat the seniors?”
“Would you like to try?”
I pulled out my sword
and, of course,
the two of them were mercilessly smashed by me.
