The training grounds, Seventh Day of the training.
'After he beat me up on the first day, he hasn't attacked again, but instead, he gave me and Link both the task to land an attack on him by any method possible. Landing an attack may seem to be an easy task but…' (Rio)
[Concentration!]
[Body Strengthening!]
Rio's sword attack continued to fall on Jin yet not a single one was even able to touch him even a little bit. Jin is just too fast, after all an S-ranker's speed is no joke.
'Speed is my specialty, yet this man is beating me up thoroughly in my own specialty, this feels like I am being slapped for being too arrogant in my abilities… but I must land at least one attack on him today…' (Rio)
[Elemental Sword Arts: Wind type: 1000 strikes!]
"Oh! that's quite a strong sword art you got there kid! But still not enough to touch me, you have to work harder hahaha…" (Jin)
"Don't forget about me Mr. Jin!" (Link)
Just when Jin seemed to be too concentrated on Rio, Link immediately understood that this is an opportunity created by Rio for him to attack, after all, they are both working together to fight Mr. Jin… Thus, Link sneaked on Mr. Jin from his blind spot…
[Dragon Arts: Roaring fist!]
Just when Jin seemed to be stuck between the attacks of Rio and Link he caught Link's hand without even looking at him and diverted it toward Rio, causing both of their attacks to get disturbed…
[Handling!]
Rio successfully diverted Link's hand aside before it could hit him with handling but Link wasn't able to do so, Rio's wind sword energy pierced through Link's left hand. Link got injured from friendly fire…
"When working together the first thing you need to confirm is that your partner doesn't get caught in friendly fire, also you should be able to divert your attack any moment. Rio, you have to work on directly your own attack mid-way, while Link you have to learn a way to handle an incoming attack Like Rio otherwise you would continue to get injured like this..." (Jin)
Jin suddenly looked at his wristwatch and saw that time was nearly over:
"Okay, today's class is over for now, remember what I taught you both and focus on your weakness, aside from that you both are doing quite well, any other A-ranker would have gotten seriously injured by your combined attacks, I am sure both of you will make a good team one day…" (Jin)
"Oh! I should get going now, if I took more of your time Anna will get angry at me, saying 'are you trying to kill my students by your barbarous methods!? You piece of sh*t' aah! Love mimicking her she really is quite a lively woman, if only she loved me more-" (Jin)
"Is that so, heh~" (Anna)
Anna suddenly appeared out of thin air behind Jin, hearing her dark lines appeared on his face because he already knew what was going to happen now:
"He-hey, Anna he-hear me out! There are student's here, don't use that spell!" (Jin)
A panicked expression appeared on Jin's face for the first time since he started to train the students. Just as he was about to run away:
[Silence of Nether!]
"...….!!!!....!!!!!...." (Jin)
"Now stay silent like that for a while now… at least my headache will be reduced by ninety percent if you stay silent for a while." (Anna)
A satisfied smile appeared on Anna's face.
'Except for this type of auxiliary magic, other magic of mine won't actually do much damage to this guy because his physique is too strong for that, only he is a bit lacking in the mind, thus I can still put auxiliary magic on him like this.' (Anna)
'Although, if someone with low int stats tries to put this magic it won't work on him, for me, this is a piece of cake!' (Anna)
While Jin was sulking in a corner of the hall, Anna was feeling proud of herself, the more she thought about it.
Meanwhile, Link and Rio have already collapsed on the floor due to exhaustion from the previous spars.
'Come to think of it I haven't seen Fade and Kira since the first day of the training, what could have happened I wonder, this didn't happen in the novel, strange…' (Rio)
"Huff… you have…huff… also recovered from your wounds Rio" (Link)
"You were beaten more than me, yet you recovered faster than me, you really have some tenacious physique." (Rio)
"Nah, it was Riya who worked day and night to heal me continuously, she is a very good person…" (Link)
"Heh, are you trying to show off your girlfriend in front of me, let me tell you, Lia can cook godly food, even a pig would gain wisdom if it eats that food.." (Rio)
"Oh, come on~ there's no comparison in them, Riya is much cuter than an elf!" (Link)
"No way, Lia is as fierce and smart as a demon princess!" (Rio)
While the two most talented students of the class were comparing waifus, other students could be seen fainting all around the hall, some were still trying to spar, while some were groaning in pain, and most of them were collapsed on the floor.
'All of them seem to have suffered a war, this scene looks like they have been beaten and tired for many months, for young students this is indeed quite a tragic thing, Jin really doesn't know how to hold back, he is literally making them go insane from all this training..' (Anna)
'But since the principal has asked me to not interfere in the training of these students, I can't really do anything about this… let's just give Jin a warning, so that he would go easier on them…' (Anna)
'Except Rio and Jin all the students have not really suffered any serious even once, but these two are getting injured on daily basis, every time I think about this my head hurts, that shi**y barbarian, if the top talents of our class suffered mental problems, the scores of my class will suffer considerable damage…' (Anna)
"All the students are dismissed for the day, return to your dorms, and those who are injured visit the healer's office." (Anna)
Anna left the hall while dragging Jin with her Right hand, from Jin's face it seemed he was actually enjoying it…
"sigh~"
"sigh~"
"sigh~"
After Anna and Jin left students heaved a long sigh of relief…
"Ah! I have survived one more day! Thank god! Thank you, my dear ancestors!"
"Someone! Please carry me to the infirmary, I can't feel my legs anymore they seem to have gone numb from all the training!"
"I want to sleep!"
"Water! Someone…give me water….I am dying…"
"Help! Help! My lower body is stuck in the floor, someone pull me out of here!"
Girls in the corner:
"Sister! Don't stop me I am going to die today!"
"Pull this sword out of my shoulder first… I have to go to the infirmary!"
While most of the students were still crying and whining…
The healer team arrived on time and started to cast healing spells on the students and carry them to the infirmary.
"Hey! Pull me out of the floor a bit slower! it hurts! Hey! Don't pull my head it will sever!"
.
"Mad Sword-, I mean Lia, are you feeling unwell anywhere, let me heal you!" (Riya)
"O-oh thanks, by the way did they healed Rio?" (Lia)
"eh? Rio? Who's that? Is that a new candy?" (Riya)
"N-no, he is the boy with dark black hair and pupils with an expressionless face which you would want to punch whenever he smirks…cough! I mean he must be around the central area of the hall…" (Lia)
"Oh! That's where Link is! Don't worry senior healers from the second year are healing them…" (Riya)
"That's a relief…" (Lia)
"Here, your wounds are all fully healed now you just have to rest a bit and you would be okay to go!" (Riya)
"uh.. can I ask you something, Lia?" (Riya)
"Hm?.. what is it?" (Lia)
"How did you make them big? Is there some secret way? (Riya)
"What? What are you talking about?" (Lia)
"No-nothing, by the way! Do you like that black eyes?" (Riya)
"Who would like that idiot! I just…just wanted to know if he is okay or not, nothing else!" (Lia)
"Well, I also like Link so I know just by looking at you, but to think the great 'mad demon sword' whom all boys avoid and fear also has someone she likes, that's actually shocking…" (Riya)
"Actually I am more concerned about those who will be liked by you, after all you seem to have a serious head injury… and don't call me by that nickname again!" (Lia)
