Chapter 638 – Episode 638 – Concurrent Position Test!

Elsie’s heel her focused on High Priestess Maren’s fingers, and the pale green light shone intensely.

And the wound on High Priest Maren’s index finger her healed quickly.

“Is this okay?”

“Thank you.”

High Priestess Maren took her hand her and nodded her head calmly.

“I passed the healing magic. It’s a skill that can focus the healing on the wound instead of covering the entire area. And it’s enough to check the magic contained in the heel.”

“Hey, did you pass only by doing heels?”

“Yes, by feeling Elsie-sama’s heels, I guessed what level Elsie-sama had reached. Then, let’s move on.”

High Priestess Maren stepped back for a while and then she spoke.

“Next is a skill test on defense. Diana, please.”

“All right.”

One of Lelia’s subordinates, Diana, came to our side.

“Thank you, Miss Elsie.”

“Ah, yes, yes! Thank you very much! What should I do now?”

“Then Elsie-nim, please put protection. And block my attack.”

“Are you blocking the attack?”

“Yes. One of the conditions for being a senior priest is the ability to protect one’s colleagues.”

“Ah, I see! Protection!”

Elsie used protection to spread his magical barrier over her.

It’s Elsie’s protection that I don’t use much lately, but I use it occasionally for training.

“Can I do this?”

“Yes, please stay.”

Miss Diana nodded her head and put on a pair of gauntlets around her waist.

“Whoa… Power.”

Whoops!

As Diana applied power to herself, a soft light emanated from Diana’s body to her.

“Going!”

Wow!

Miss Diana kicked off the ground and lunged at Elsie, thrusting her fists at Elsie’s protection of her.

Kaaaaang!

An intense impact sound resounds.

But Diana-san’s fists couldn’t break Elsie’s protection of her.

And the moment she confirmed it, Diana-san’s expression became serious.

Kaka Kaka Kaka Kaka Kakang!

A series of fist punches reminiscent of Mr. Raifa’s punches were pouring in.

“I’m sorry…!”

At the sound of continuous and intense blows, Elsie squeezed his staff her and infused the protection with even more magic.

As a result, Diana-san’s fierce punches did not break Elsie’s protection of her.

After a moment, Mister Diana stopped his fists and exhaled deeply.

“Whoa…”

And Mr. Diana turned his head towards Mr. Lelia and said.

“Captain! It’s so different! What is this!”

“I never thought Elsie-sama’s protection would be this strong. You are amazing.”

“Oh, thank you!”

Elsie immediately lifted the protection and lowered her head.

“The defense magic test passed. Then, let’s move on to the final test.”

“Is this the final exam already?”

I never thought I would be able to take the final exam so quickly.

“Yes, there was no doubt about Elsie-sama’s skill. There are four main points of the Higher Priest’s test. The first is healing ability, the second is defense ability, and the third is performance, but already deep in the dungeon If it’s Elsie-sama who has gone all the way, that’s enough.”

High Priest Maren, who spoke while folding four fingers and folding them one after another, folded the last finger and said.

“And lastly, self-defense. In other words, we look at taijutsu.”

“Is it chess?”

“Yes, if you become a high-ranking priest, you should at least have enough body movements to not catch your colleagues’ ankles.”

I knew why High Priest Maren had asked the level of taijutsu the other day.

Certainly, no matter how high-ranking priests were, if the danger of the monster they were dealing with increased, they would need the skills to deal with it.

“Uh, uh… How do you view taijutsu?”

When she heard that she was also testing martial arts, Elsie felt a bit unsure and asked High Priestess Maren.

“Of course, the members of the 13th Knights will help you with the taijutsu test. This time… Bendy, please.”

“Yes, High Priestess Maren.”

Slowly, Mr. Bendy approached us with several wooden weapons.

“Elsie-sama, what kind of weapon do you prefer? Oh, bare fists are fine.”

“What, weapon? Uh… Ah, Rant. This please.”

“Yes, Elsie.”

After Elsie entrusted me with her wand her, she chose a wand the size of Elsie’s wand among Bendy’s weapons.

“I’ll take this one.”

“Okay. Then I’ll pick up the sword. Diana! Put this away.”

“Okay.”

Miss Diana went to Mr. Bendy’s side and left with the remaining weapons.

And Mr. Bendy was preparing to take the test immediately after leaving Elsie at a certain distance.

“Ah… Uh, what should I do, Rant…”

Elsina looked at me as if she suddenly became uneasy at the sight of Mr. Bendy. I clenched my fists at such a lovely Elsie and said

“Cheer up, Elsie! Elsie can do it! I want to see her cool her!”

◈-Elsie SIDE

At first, it was a test that I started because I wanted to be a person who would fit in with Rant, who became a paladin.

But I didn’t expect to see martial arts like this.

In taijutsu, Niña-san, Raifa-san, and Gracia-san also taught me, but… I was worried about whether I would be able to pass the Advanced Priesthood Exam with that.

No matter how strong others are… I wonder if I’m really strong.

Well, I always just stand back and watch others fight.

Occasionally, I personally used Holy Rain to defeat monsters, but… Compared to everyone else, it was far too small.

Is that me… Can Noah, Niña-san, Raifa-san, and Graycia-san do well against Lelia-san’s men who had easily won?

There was such anxiety.

However.

Rant cheers me on.

Rant told me he wanted to see my cool side.

Normally, I always wanted to see Rant’s cool side of him.

But today.

Just for today, I… She wanted to show Lant that she was the right woman for her.

Even if Rant already thinks of me that way… I wanted to prove something that I could proudly consider myself the right woman for Rant.

That’s why I answered Rant’s cheers her by holding the wooden stick in her hand.

“Yes! I’ll do my best!”

Then, while confronting Mr. Bendy, I took the baton stance I learned from Mr. Niña.

“I’ll go, Miss Elsie.”

“Yes Yes!”

As soon as I answer.

Dig!

Mr. Bendy ran towards me.

Fast.

But it wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t follow it with my eyes.

I remembered what Mr. Niña had said.

[If an enemy approaching quickly doesn’t dodge, but advances this way and stabs it in a straight line, it’s surprisingly eaten?]

“Oops!”

Following Mr. Niña’s words, I kicked off the ground and threw the baton at Mr. Bendina.

“Yes!?”

Mr. Bendina gave a very surprised look for a moment and twisted her body her to avoid her rod.

A move like that would never happen to me.

He was also Lelia-san’s subordinate.

[If the opponent seems panicked, rush without hesitation! It’s important not to give yourself time to think about other things]

I recall the words of Noah, who smiled and taught me how to fight.

I pulled back the spear I had shouted out and then executed the continuous stabbing that Niña-san had instructed me to do.

Shush shush shush shush!

“What!?”

Compared to Niña-san, there are too many extras and clumsy continuous stabbing.

But was it surprising to Mr. Bendy that I used such a technique?

With a more surprised expression than before, Mr. Bendy hit my bar.

How many times have you been beaten

Aaaaagh!

Mr. Bendy swung his sword wide and bounced off my stick.

“Haha!”

Then Mr. Bendy swung his sword at me.

[When you attack in a row, the opponent will be in a hurry to block the attack. There are many cases in which high-movement techniques are used to escape somehow.]

Mr. Gracia’s advice came to mind.

[At that time, this technique is very useful. It can also be reproduced through a window.]

And I used the technique that Mr. Gracia taught me.

When the sword is swinging loudly.

He raised the bar high and struck it at the sword.

Aww!

“Ugh!”

In an instant, it accelerated downward and landed on the black floor.

At that moment, he spurred the ground to close the distance with Mr. Bendy moved slightly to the side, and then twirled and twisted the stick to move it under the sword on the stick.

“Eight!”

I lifted the stick with all my might and let go of the sword from Mr. Bendy’s hand.

“What!?”

Mr. Bendy put down his wooden sword.

Mr. Bendy now was full of gaps.

It must have been careless because he looked after me a lot to deal with me who was weak.

[This technique is perfect for opponents who miss the sword.]

Raifa’s grinning face comes to mind.

To be honest, I was hesitant about whether I should really use this technology.

However… But I also wanted to look good for Lant.

I wanted Rant to look at me with bright eyes.

Just like I always look at Rant.

If you look at Rant like that… What a joy.

With that thought in mind, my body moved forward to use the technique Raifa-san taught me.

“It’s great!”

Mr. Bendy tried to step back.

In order to stop Mr. Bendy from moving like that.

Kuuk!

“Ugh!?”

As Mr. Raifa told me, I stepped on Mr. Bendy’s instep and stopped him from moving.

And after releasing the bar, I clenched my fists and put my heart into exercising all my physical abilities.

“I-Yaaaaa!”

Mimicking Noah’s scream, he threw out his fist.

Puff pup pup pup puck!

Hit, hit, hit

Is it because of the promotion?

Even when I punched him, I didn’t feel any pain.

A fist that strikes at random rather than knowing its weakness.

Excluding the face, I continued to punch Mr. Bendy’s torso.

“Cheuk! Ouch! Eh! Eh, Elsie-sama! Wait a minute! This is really appalling! Ouch! Cuckoo! Elsie niii!!”

“Ah!”

I stopped punching when I heard Mr. Bendy’s voice calling my name out loud.

Uh? Uh huh

What?

When he came to his senses his, Mr. Bendy was covering his torso with his arms, his face grimacing in pain.

“Gwa, are you okay?”

“Uh, somehow it’s okay. The fist really… Makes me chill to the bone, to the bone. No, I’m surprised.”

“Ah, that, that, that, that… !”

I don’t know how to react, and my head is spinning.

I, did this pass? Oh, or inconsistent?

“Hey, hey, Elsie-sama…”

“Yes Yes!”

“The test is over. Could you please let go of the bar, feet, etc.?”

“Oh! I’m sorry!”

Realizing that I was still stepping on Mr. Bendy’s toes, I immediately stepped back.

“Hey, I’ll give you a heel! Heel!”

And immediately, with all his strength, he heeled at Mr. Bendy.

“Oh, oh oh… It’s amazing. The pain goes right away.”

Mr. Bendy looked at his arms and admired them.

“Hey, hey… How did the exam go?”

“Is this a test? Of course I passed. You drove me like this, so of course I passed.”

“I-I drove you out. I-I was just thanks to Mr. Bendy’s carelessness…”

“Of course, there are things I was careless about, but Elsie-nim’s taijutsu was excellent. That’s right, High Priestess Maren.”

“Yes, of course.”

High Priestess Maren walked to my side with Rant.

“Congratulations, Miss Elsie. With this, the test is over. In the name of High Priestess Maren, Elsie is a senior priest from today.”

In fact, the words of High Priest Maren did not come true.

Really i… Did he become a high-ranking priest?

“Elsie! Congratulations on becoming a senior priestess! You just looked so cool!”

“Ah…”

Rant’s words warm my heart.

My heart jumped at the words of Rant who congratulated me and complimented me on how cool he looked at me with shining eyes.

I didn’t quite realize what Maren said about becoming a high-ranking priest.

However.

“Yes, Rant! Thanks!”

Rant’s words congratulating me on becoming a senior priest gave me joy and the realization that I had become a senior priest.
