Chapter 128 – Speak With the Sword. -One-

The reason why the children of prestigious families who did not break their pride acted in perfect order at Roman’s command was not the only fear that was imprinted with time.

Unlike the Faculty of Swordsmanship, even the cadets of the Faculty of Knights, who only aim for knights, would break their pride to ask an adventurer standing on the opposite side to learn.

What a valuable time this once a week is. Even if you don’t want to admit it, you can feel it through the time that is neither long nor short.

The contents of today’s practical class did not cover everything from the type of weapon to the style.

Between Roman and the cadets of the academy, there is a difference in skill level enough to embody the characteristics of whatever form they find difficult, even with bare hands or with a rotten branch.

Since Seria had a habit of holding up a shield and blocking rather than evading, she was always pointed out for her problems and desperately needed improvement, so her eyes only shined in this class.

Of course, she can attack with a speed that is difficult to block with a single shield.

It was especially difficult for her opponents, who had the weight and strength of her own light body to blow away.

“Cadet Seria Electra.”

“Yes!”

In front of her, Seria, who was resting engrossedly and holding her discipline tightly, gave a loud reply that was different from her size, and only raised a standard shield like Seria’s.

“Are you aware that there is a clear difference between the skills to deal with humans and the skills to deal with monsters when it comes to shield handling skills?”

“I’m aware!”

“If you have a shield made by an excellent blacksmith or an armor with heterogeneous power obtained through dungeons or monsters, you won’t need special skills to defend against a certain level of attack. But that’s up to a certain level.”

“…”

It should be said that she is like a puppy waiting for her toys… Seria’s immovable posture, waiting for her back, already seems unbearable.

“If you encounter an enemy who uses an aura or a monster that can easily crush people, you will encounter a limit with normal shield use. At that time, if you use your shield sense and mana appropriately, even such a simple supply-type shield can achieve an aura. You can block the contained weapon and aim for the gap.”

A world where there are monsters that produce power comparable to bombs with only the extraordinary energy of mana and pure strength, the way to handle the shield is completely different from the previous life.

“The first method requires a bone-breaking amount of practice, so it’s difficult to reach today’s class… But it will be helpful if you work hard on this method in the future. I’ll show you as an example.”

“Thank you!”

“Swing your sword at the instructor.”

Sreung-!

There is no doubt about asking ‘why?’ As soon as she finished speaking, Seria drew the short sword from her waist without hesitation and swung it at Roman as quickly as possible.

At the same time, the huge figure of Roman blocking her own sword as a shield with her grave face was reflected in Seria’s green eyes.

Teeing!

The disjointed hitting sound, as if the blade had not been able to cut off a pole tied to the air, and had blown it far away.

Roman’s huge figure follows the direction Seria swung her sword, gently turning around and landing.

“Note··?!”

Seria’s face contorted with a rising question at the taste of her hand, which was different from the sensation she had always been hit by.

“To briefly explain, it is to accept the power of the cadet and release that power into rotation. However, if you rotate your body every moment, it is easy to expose vital points if you encounter an opponent with quick hands, and it consumes a lot of energy. Try swinging the sword again. “

“All right!”

Seria caught her spirit and gripped and swung her sword, and this time she stood in her place and blocked it with her shield, but she felt the same senseless hand as before.

Tuong-!

He obviously understood that it was an entry-level shield like his, but it was slippery at the moment of hitting, or that his sword was not able to strike effectively.

“You can think of the fact that the body moved and rotated in the first place was an extreme action to make it easy for the cadets to understand. If you face a large monster, you may have a chance to use it usefully, but…”

Instead of simply blocking it with a shield, it drains it.

Even if you don’t have a shield, you can do it with your sword or spear, but considering the area or shape of the block, using a shield is definitely less difficult and more efficient.

It takes a really huge amount of training to learn how to shed and use it freely in real combat, but if you keep practicing, you will be able to do it someday.

“Didn’t you say that being an adventurer is a dream?”

“···That’s right!”

“If you want to become an adventurer and survive, prepare for defense rather than attack.

Roman pounded the shield in his hand with his fist and continued his explanation at eye level.

“When you meet a troll or an ogre who are said to have the intelligence of a beast and get attacked. If the cadet catches their attack with his eyes and blocks it with a shield, his arm will be crushed.”

“Understand!”

As Seria, who had been low on her level for a while, listened to her story with her eyes shining, Roman remembered Seria’s older sister, Lillie, and continued her advice while suppressing her laughter.

“Even though they are specialized in close combat, adventurers and knights who are paying for their meal without dying know how to drain mana using mana, whether unconsciously or consciously. There may be a difference in skill level.”

Roman, who briefly taught him how to do the drill when he was alone and how to practice the shed when he had a supportive partner, also gave him the next best thing to use right away.

“If you haven’t reached this level, first check your surroundings first.

“You’re right!”

Even if you don’t have great talent, if you have the will to learn, the teacher wants to give you even one more.

Seria doesn’t absorb quickly or show crazy growth like Rike, but she was a cadet who was particularly good at teaching with her die-hard attitude.

“Until the moment arrives when mana is used for hand techniques that release power that the human body cannot withstand. When faced with destructive power that a cadet cannot handle, defending in time and running backward at the same time is a way. Although the level of completion is more important than anything else.”

Assuming that she was blown away by her strong power, she lifted her Seria with one hand and threw it a few times, then hit her shield with her palm and sent it flying.

Seria’s small body kept rolling on the floor, but she jumped up like a tumbler without getting tired.

Coudangtang-!

“If you can’t judge the distance or environment you’re flying, don’t raise her neck to protect her head. Just put her hand on her shield around the back of her head.”

When she falls behind her, she directs her gaze to her navel and protects the back of her head. Although she is learning the basics of her falling technique, she briefly pointed out what was lacking in her clumsy use of mana and her landing posture.

“Adventurers, even if they look ugly, have to survive first. If you don’t have the energy to look around in the air, cover her head first.”

“One more time… Please!”

Seeing Seria get up like a fluttering fish and say to try again, Roman couldn’t stand it and smiled slightly raising the corner of her mouth.

‘As expected, she’s completely different from Lily’s… But she’s somewhat similar.’

Seria and Lilyne. Sister Electra also has a feeling that reminds us of Sister Dritna in some ways.

*****

After confirming that her turn had come, Chloe put the longsword she was wielding into the scabbard and ran in front of Roman.

It was not a soft atmosphere shown in private, but a serious atmosphere that did not feel discrimination with other cadets.

“Cadet Chloe Dritna.”

“Yes, yes…!”

“Is there a style or weapon that is difficult to deal with?

Rather, because of that, it is hard to associate with the hot love affair that we peeked at at night.

Contrary to the expectation that I would not be able to concentrate in class, my brother’s serious and serious voice made me want to do it properly.

‘My weakness or blocking part…’

When I think about it, there are so many problems with myself, but when I mention that it is the part that is currently blocked, something comes to mind.

The sword techniques passed down in Dritna are defensive rather than offensive.

Her older sister said that if she continued to wield it, she would be defensive, and she would show her own sword, but she herself was overwhelmed by just using the drit and swordsmanship properly.

In particular, it felt like she was staying in one place for a long time, unlike what was expected of her awakening her aura and drawing a rapid rise.

“Recently… As I’ve been using ‘it’ in outdoor classes, it’s rather a far away from standard swordsmanship, and my sword handling skills are walking in place…”

My older brother would have easily noticed that ‘it’ spoke of an aura.

There seemed to be no other cadets paying close attention to this place because they were absorbed in their own training, but they were just in case.

My older brother also advised me not to inform anyone of the realm of truth unless I really trust him.

“Hmm- you’re saying that because you’ve got a great tool and you’re relying on it, you mean the sense that your swordsmanship doesn’t progress?”

“Oh, that’s right…!”

Seeing-!

The longsword in my brother’s hand was pulled out with a cool sound.

Even though she believed that she would not harm herself, her drool passed and her breath stopped due to the intimidation.

“Pull out your sword right now. Then swing it at the instructor.”
