“Rigid Thunderbolt!”

“Of course, you’ve seen my true form, haven’t you? I didn’t grow old for nothing! “Renki Palm”.”

“Uhnnn!?”

“That’s enough!”

Master engaged the Grand Dragon in several battles.

In the end, it was settled when the Grand Dragon hit her with a fist like a lump of rock and she was blown up.

She showed me two new techniques, but that he was such a strong opponent that she had to use them ……

I …… couldn’t stop being excited. If he can make my master fall to her knees in a one-on-one match, means he’s pretty strong.

“Gunu …… As expected of an earth dragon, you’re hard.”

“Ohhhhhh ……!

The Grand Dragon took the form of a dragon and showed us its arms, and if you looked closely you could see cracks in the skin. It doesn’t seem to have reached the bones, but it seems to have destroyed those hard scales.

“Hmmm, not bad. Hmm, well, that reminds me of one thing ……”

Master nodded with unusual satisfaction, then scowled and muttered to no one in particular. Some kind of a secret plan, perhaps?

“Okay, can I get a blow like Master?”

“You’re amazing, Fath-san. Wait, Makina, I’m next! Storm Dragon, right? Can you do it?”

“Oh, that’s not fair!”

When I was talking to Ryuuze in front of me, Master put her hand on my shoulder, smiled, and began to speak after she left everyone.

“Well, wait. If you just want to strike a blow, you can pierce the scales of a grand dragon with your [Kaiser Knuckles]. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s go for one more level.”

“One more level?”

“Mm. I’m going to teach you a technique now. Perhaps it will prove useful in your fight against dragons and demons.”

“You didn’t you use it in the last battle, right, Master? Like a secret technique?”

When I asked, she nodded deeply and continued.

“I don’t think it’s fair to say that I didn’t use it, but rather that I forgot about it. It’s been a long time since I had a chance to fight powerful monsters like dragons and Radia, after all. Because–“

“……!? Eehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh …….”

I was sweating cold at my master’s explanation.

It’s not the same as a secret technique, but it certainly makes sense that there are so few opportunities to use it. But I knew that if I learned it, I would be able to make a powerful move, so I began to train immediately.

“Teacher, we’re going over there to practice a few techniques, okay!”

“Yeah! Call me if you need anything! Hey, Ryuuze, not that one! A fire magic sword will be returned by the wind.”

“Of course he is, he’s my apprentice, you know! Freeze Dragon, you want to fight him too?”

I think Tigre wants to fight the Storm Dragon himself. I don’t like war or killing people, but I like fighting itself.

“I’ll do it, Makina.”

“Yes!”

Hmmm, I want to fight the dragons too, but I guess I’ll have to be patient ……

“Woof.”

“Grruuuu.”

“Huh? It’s Schneider and Radia. What’s wrong?”

“Hmm? I’m going to train my technique now, so I can’t fight with you.”

Master stroked Schneider’s head, and then turned her head to stare at the dragons. The Grand Dragon noticed him and walked towards him.

“Arf Arf!”

“Grrrrr!”

“Whoa! It’s unusual for them to intimidate someone, isn’t it? Hmm, I’d know if Nora was here ……”

If Nora were here, she would know what they’re talking about, but unfortunately, she’s off to the mountains with Luciel and the others right now ……

Then, Aina and the others who had been play- …… training with Sarge gathered together. 

“What’s wrong with you? Shuu, you can’t get mad at me them, you know?”

“Woof.”

“I’m not mad”, shaking his head at Aina as if to assert that Schneider wasn’t mad.

“What does Radia want?”

“Grruuu”

“Is that so?”

“Arf Arf!!”

When I asked, Schneider barked with his tail wagging widely, so it seems he really is.

“I see. I thought you were playing with the Raptor dragon, but now you want to fight a dragon.”

“Ehhh, I haven’t fought one yet, though.”

“Grruuu.”

When I voiced my protest, Radia was rubbing the head of her nose against mine, trying to get my approval.

(T/N: I don’t know why he said Silver Wolf, not Viking Wolf.)

The Grand Dragon smiled at Sarge as he opened his mouth.

“Uuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh ……!!”

“Grrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

“Amazing intimidation ……!”

“When they were fighting me, they were often hitting me.”

But without being frightened, Schneider and Radia stood as if to protect Aina-chan and the others, and roared.

“Oh, hey!”

The two of them walked triumphantly along with the grand dragon who said this ……

“I wonder if it’s it okay to do that since they’re monsters that Lars tamed ……?”

“I’m sure it’ll be fine! Sarge, let’s take a break.”

“Have a good rest …… Fuh, I can finally calm down and practice. It’s really amazing that Lars was able to put this together.”

“You’re right. I think Lars will become an even greater man in the future. Perhaps even to the point of a wise man?”

Suddenly, my master said this, and my eyes widened in surprise. The title “Wise Man” was given only once, to a man who was said to have saved the world a long time ago.

“…… But.”

Lars might be able to. He is already strong enough to fight demons.

I’m proud of Lars, but at the same time, I’m not sure if it’s alright If I can keep him to myself.

“Here, let’s do it!”

“……! Ha, yes!”

I shook my head and slapped my cheek, trying to do what was in front of me first.
