Became the Academy’s Munchkin Power Priest

20 – Teachings of the High Priest

The other groups seemed to have a conversation without any problems, but our group members were quiet and it was difficult to continue the conversation. The talkative Nathan also fell asleep, and only silence lingered.

We decided to change our methods and find out each other’s skills. First of all, the first couple is Liae and Echina.

The two were the same article.

After getting permission from Florina, I took her wooden sword.

Echina looked at Liae with her calm face. On the contrary, Li Ae couldn’t even meet her eyes.

Me and Cleod sat and watched the two fight. If anyone saw it, it would have looked like sitting down and resting, but it was also important to know the skills of your teammates.

Just…. Cleod was sitting and dozing as if she didn’t know that.

Hagi, the sun was warm and it was a morning class, so I was sleepy.

I put my hand on his shoulder.

“Cleod. It is also important to know the skills of the same team members.”

I said, rubbing his shoulder so he could wake up.

“Ah! Mi, sorry! Gee, I’ll focus!”

After waking up Cleod, I focused on the fight between the knights.

“hahahaha…. I got bruises.”

The two each raised their swords in their own way. Ekina held her wooden sword upright, and Liae laid it on her side.

The first one to attack was Echina. She struck her sword from top to bottom. It was an honest attack.

Leae raised the sword she had laid down and blocked the attack. Stab attack after blocking.

Echina quickly spurred her ground and backed away. The sword did not reach.

After that, the two continued to alternate between attacking and defending.

There was no shaking in Echina’s posture. There was something odd about her, though, and she seemed quite tired, even though the time had been short.

Of course, I would have to strengthen my stamina, but I didn’t see it as a problem with my stamina right now.

Compared to Li Ae, the same knight, her posture was good. She seemed to be overusing her stamina just by concentrating on her posture.

Simply put, there was too much power in her body.

On the other hand, Li-ae also had problems. She frowned each time her sword struck. The way she wielded her sword looked a little sloppy, it seemed like her shoulder was uncomfortable.

While the two were fighting, the voices of the other members were heard.

“Look at them. Aren’t you putting too much effort into it from the first day?”

“Hey, Echina and Liane? Were you two in the same group?”

“Gran is the team leader.”

“What should I do with that…. There are two knights, but it must be Li-ae and Echina. I don’t know how the two of them got into the academy.”

“That would already be overwhelming.”

It wasn’t a pleasant conversation.

Of course, as I personally watched the couple fight, there were a few things that needed to be fixed.

“Can I take a look at your posture?”

“Heo Eok!”

I approached Leia. She shook her body.

“You don’t have to be too scared. I only break the heads of heretics.”

I spoke in a small voice into Liae’s ear.

I don’t know if I was relieved, but I urgently needed to correct my posture anyway. Because her shoulder is broken.

“As I watched, Li Ae-nim’s shoulders seemed unstable. Now she’s swinging her sword with her joints, not her muscles. Her body must not be swayed by the sword. It may be a bit difficult, but the muscle tone must be maintained.”

I grabbed her arm holding her sword from behind her.

Her body trembled like a small beast.

“Keep the tension on the muscles in this area, from the elbow down to the hand, to put less strain on the wrist. Please give me strength.”

My body stopped shaking, perhaps because I was concentrating on giving strength.

“Good. You’re doing very well. Then, this time, let’s correct the shoulders that seem to have the most problems.”

I grabbed her arm and turned it slightly to her left.

“When the arm rotates inside the body, the shoulder internally rotates, and when it rotates outside, the shoulder rotates externally. Just as you need to keep your body centered, you also need to keep your shoulders centered. Looking at my posture just now, my shoulders are internally rotated. Shock in this state can cause pain.”

I turned my arm back to the right so that the back of my hand was facing out.

“The point of the sword facing the sky is probably the most comfortable position. It is good to lay the sword so that it is in a straight line with the inside and outside of the body, but it will put a lot of strain on the shoulders if it is laid further than that. If you can’t help it, it’s better to tilt your whole body at an angle.”

“Oh! Yes….”

She suddenly used an honorific.

“And since you seem to have been feeling the pain since a while ago, I will help you recover.”

I used the 1st level spell Restoration of Faith to heal Liae’s shoulder.

“It’s warm.”

I suddenly felt her gaze and looked up to see that Echina was staring at me. When her eyes met mine, she turned her head away.

She had a lot to say to her, but decided to move on to her hateful relationship.

“Then let’s move on.”

The match between the two began again.

Li Ae looked like she was trying to correct her posture as I said.

Because of her habit, she couldn’t fix it right away, but she tried her best.

As the pain in her shoulder lessened, her expression improved and her movements improved.

When you feel pain, you are nervous, and when you are nervous, you think a lot.

In a fight, the choice of the moment is important, so I had to reduce my thoughts as much as possible.

In the end, Echina’s sword fell to the floor first.

Liae was embarrassed by her own victory and she helped Echina when she fell.

“All right. I can do it alone.”

Echina picked up her wooden sword, shaking her knee. She then glanced at me.

Hmm…. Looks like I’ve gotten worse.

Li Ae jumped towards me and she suddenly bowed her head.

“Thank you….”

“Heh heh, thank you. Aren’t we allies now? If there is anything you want to ask, you can always ask.”

She smiled broadly and nodded her head, as if the victory made her feel better.

My first impression of her was that she was a little shy girl.

However, when she straightened out her impression, her cute beauty came to life.

Next, we saw Cleodes ability.

I didn’t fight against him, I saw how well he handled the wind.

Cleod threw a wooden stick into the air. I concentrated on not letting the stick fall. He moved his body around, trying to center the stick.

Hmm….

Soon, the stick lost its balance and fell to the floor. I looked at him, not knowing what to say.

His face looked satisfied.

“How is it? This is harder than it looks.”

As he said, it might have been difficult, so I decided to agree.

“Excellent. You use that method to change the trajectory of the arrow.”

“Yes, I can control the strength as well as the trajectory of the arrow.”

“Good. Are you mastering those skills?”

“Ah, that…. It’s still difficult for me. I am learning how to shoot a bow now.”

“I see…. All right.”

Since I didn’t compare my skills with other shooters, I didn’t know how good Cleodes was.

Next, Nathan.

He decided to move on.

I thought improving his mind was more important than looking at his skills.

Anyway, he roughly checked the skills of his teammates. There were many areas to improve. To put it bluntly, it sucks.

There is no need to view it negatively though.

If there are many things to improve, it means that there are many areas to grow in the future.

At the end of the morning class, we sat down to rest. For some reason, Ines Ulcron approached me.

He looked at Echina and said.

“You are the leader, but are you in the same group as Echina? What’s wrong, that kid only follows his brother’s words.”

Ulkron, who hadn’t spoken to me since the match, suddenly showed interest in our group.

“What does that matter? There is no need for Echina-sama to follow my words. We’re in the same group, so we’ll just move forward together.”

“Huh, yes, did you do well? But Echina doesn’t seem to like you very much.”

“Heh heh, I don’t care what feelings you have for me. But…. I wonder why you are suddenly showing interest. By any chance, do you like Ekina-sama?”

“What, what? I?”

Arnes looked at Echina’s face and blushed.

I meant it as a joke, but I guess he really liked it.

Indeed, since the fathers of the two were war heroes and colleagues, there must have been communication between the children.

“Ha, that is absurd. It sucks to try to help.”

“You look fresh. Is it unrequited love?”

He blushed and breathed heavily from excitement.

“Did you confess like a man?”

When I asked a question in a playful way, Arnes ran away as if running away.

Hmm…. It was like that.

I looked at Echina while thinking that.

Her eyes met hers.

Eki I turned her head away, avoiding my gaze.

Sure…. I couldn’t speak

Another week has passed.

As Liae’s pain subsided, her movements improved day by day.

There was no big difference between Echina’s skill and Clewood’s time to keep her stick in the air increased.

Lastly, Nathan only glared at Lee Ae and Claude from time to time, but he did not know what he was thinking.

“Starting today, the group evaluation will be conducted. It’s going to be a bit dangerous starting today. Make a firm resolution.”

The first group evaluation has begun.
