Chapter 77 – Union Party (3)
“Atewu, what are you talking about?”
It was fellow teammate Makbels who took issue with Ateu’s sudden request for a sparring match.
“What are you talking about? He’s the one who served as the lineman at Maybelle’s party! Any man wants to challenge a strong man at least once!”
“Haa…”
Hehe, Ateu is always full of blood.”
Kalt understood why Ateu had said such things to him.
‘I guess his intention is to look cool and impress Scarlett.’
But unfortunately, as far as Kalt knew, Scarlett was not a woman who would be thrilled by such things.
The right way to capture Scarlett’s heart is to praise her strengths rather than show her cool side.
“Okay, I guess it would be okay to have a friendly sparring before killing the orcs.”
“Okay, it should come out like that!”
As Kalt accepted, Ateu clenched his fists and smiled toothily.
And then I glanced at Scarlett.
It was because he was curious whether Scarlett would find it cool to see him cheerfully challenging a veteran who was obviously more experienced than him without being discouraged.
Of course Scarlett.
‘Even Kalt just accepts something that he really doesn’t have to do.’
There was not the slightest interest in Ateu.
Nellis Party and Ateu Party stopped the carriage near the orc appearance site and got off.
Before approaching the place where the orcs appeared in earnest, Kalt accepted a sparring match as requested by Ateu.
“Cheer up, Mr. Kalt!”
“Hey, cheer up, Kalt!”
“Finish it quickly.”
“Thank you.”
Nellis and Aria cheered for Kalt, and Scarlett urged him on.
“Hey, be careful not to get hurt, Ateu! We have to catch the orcs too!”
“I hope you have a good experience, Ateu.”
“I will show you my might!”
Machbels was worried about what would happen later, and Takeshin prayed for Ateu’s growth.
Kalt and Ateu confront each other.
Ateu clenched her fists as she took the steps.
“Be careful, Kalt! If you hit me wrong, you’ll have to take care of the nun over there!”
‘Okay, the courage to take the initiative against a veteran with a difference in skill! How is it! Did you see it well?’
Ateujiman says the best lines he thinks of as best he can.
‘He doesn’t know the subject. Are you stupid?’
It didn’t even work for Scarlett.
Sreung!
Kalt said as he drew his sword.
“Are you excited to see how good your skills are? Come on in.”
“You’ll be surprised!”
Ateu, who activated the protection and strengthened his legs, rushed towards Kalt.
‘Fast, fast!’
Nellis looked at Ateu’s speed and thought he was fast.
By general standards, Ateu’s rush was quite fast.
‘Hmm, the speed is pretty good.’
However, Kalt’s daily routine was to move at high speed, taking charge of the vanguard and working together with Maybelle, the fastest hero with the blessing of acceleration.
‘Instantaneous acceleration using divine protection. But it seems like you only think about one shot and not the next one.’
Through Ateu’s posture, speed, and highly visible facial expressions, Kalt immediately identified Ateu’s shortcomings.
“Haaaaap!”
Ateu did not let down his guard.
It was obvious that Kalt, who was in charge of the vanguard at Maybelle’s party, was much stronger than him.
Still, he was confident that he was strong in his own way, so he thought that even if he couldn’t win, he could at least give it a shot.
And Ateu’s fist is filled with such confidence.
Boom!
“Huh?!”
All he could do was split the air.
Just when he thought he had reached it, Kalt disappeared before his eyes.
When Kalt got close to Ateu’s fist, he gently dodged to the side and moved forward.
And then I gently walked over to Ateu.
“Ouch!”
When Ateu fell down with a crash, Kalt held the sword to Ateu’s neck.
“Should we end the sparring with this first? We have to kill the orcs as well.”
“… Yeah, yeah.”
Ate Wu felt ashamed that Kalt’s skills were much better than he had thought, and that instead of showing off his good side, he showed such a helpless and betrayed side.
‘Shit… !’
“Whew, you weren’t seriously hurt.”
“Hehe, Mr. Kalt, you are really fast.”
“Oh, as expected, Mr. Kalt! You’re cool!”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Well, it’s a natural result.”
Kalt withdrew his sword and held out his hand to Ateu.
“Wake up.”
Although Ateu was embarrassed, he did not throw away Kalt’s hand.
Instead.
“Hey, hey.”
“What is it, Mr. Ateu?”
“It’s called sparring, but Kalt. You beat me! So don’t use formal language or anything like that! You understand!”
It tickled his spine to be treated with respect by a man stronger than him, so Ate U asked Kalt to stop talking.
And Kalt accepted these types of people right away because he had seen many of these types of people during the Maybelle Party.
“Okay, okay.”
“… You take it very quickly.”
“Atewu, I’ve seen many warriors like you. So… Now let me give you some advice.”
“Advice?”
“I will tell you what you should pay attention to in sparring just now, listen carefully.”
“… Okay. Say it once.”
Ateu listened to Kalt’s words because he had a desire to become stronger.
“First, it was good to accelerate. Most monsters wouldn’t have been able to avoid the attack. You know that well.”
“That’s right. This has never failed before.”
“That must have been true. I felt confident from the moment I moved. But that was why I moved without thinking backwards. I thought my posture was always correct, so my upper body was tilted too far forward. That makes it difficult to brake.”
“Braking…”
“For example… Look at me.”
Kalt personally recreated Ateu’s posture and informed Ateu’s problems.
He demonstrated why this posture is inappropriate for braking by moving it directly, then said what the correct posture is, and demonstrated again what movements are possible in the modified posture, showing the advantages in an easy-to-understand manner.
“You will need to be careful of this stance when fighting from now on. It will be easier to brake this way and more than anything, you will be able to see your surroundings.”
“Oh, okay!”
Ateu was taken aback by the advice, which was more authentic, more understandable, and understandable than expected.
Until now, I had left it to God’s protection and just fought based on my senses.
In the first place, the hero had divine protection, so he was stronger than most adventurers on average, so there was no one to teach him.
Therefore, Kalt’s guidance was refreshing to Ateu.
On the contrary, I felt a little sorry for vaguely harboring a hostile attitude to impress Scarlett.
Meanwhile, looking at Kalt giving advice to Ateu, Makbels of Ateu’s party thought.
‘He’s a truly true senior. Even though Ateu acts arrogantly, he actually gives advice so kindly. As expected, he was at the most promising Maybelle party.’
Takeshin next to him was also looking at Kalt favorably.
Hehe, this will be a perfect experience for Ateu. But why did someone like Kalt leave the existing party and join the new party… Hmm, this is a personal matter, so it’s no use thinking about it.’
Meanwhile, Nellis Party had different thoughts as she watched Kalt kindly teaching her.
‘As expected, it’s Mr. Kalt! Be strong! … Ah, I should remember that too. Don’t lean too far forward.’
Nellis admires Kalt and remembers his advice to Ateu.
‘Isn’t that too kind? Or are you doing that to anyone else?’
Scarlett is a little dissatisfied.
‘Surely such a kind appearance is Kalt’s true nature… The image of last night was twisted because my heart was hurt… All I have to do is accept Kalt’s hurt. Yes, that’s right. I think so!’
Aria recalled what happened yesterday and desperately defended Kalt in her heart.
After giving advice, Kalt spoke to everyone.
“Then let’s go catch the orc now.”
The joint party moved in the form of Nellis and Ateuga walking in the middle and Kalt behind, with Scarlett, Machbels, Aria, and Takeshin walking behind.
Nellis asked as they walked.
“Mr. Kalt, what should I pay attention to when fighting as a joint party?”
“That’s a good question, Nellis. When there are more people like this than usual, it’s important to keep a little more distance and take turns.”
“The street?”
“I’ve heard how to fight, but it’s hard to understand how they actually move in real life.”
“Yes… I guess so.”
“So, if it’s not a strong enemy, and you can deal with it alone like an orc, the vanguard can go alone, right? First, go alone and observe how the vanguard moves. And it’s important to figure out your own movements and how much of a gap there is.”〈 Br〉
Kalt looked back and continued speaking.
“This observation should be carefully observed by those in the rear, especially wizards who attack from a distance or clerics with holy attacks. They need to understand the movements of the front line and provide cover at the right time. Just pay attention to the timing of the party members you normally do, and then fire a spell at the opposing party. Being right for the vanguard is a mistake that often happens in coalition parties.”
The four people behind him also nodded at Kalt’s advice.
“Okay, first, let’s figure out each other’s movements from the front line, and then try to match the timing with the back line.”
After deciding on a policy, the coalition party took steps again.
-Chwiik! Chwiik!
Not long after, we encountered four orcs.
