chapter 68
68 – Ah, this is called ‘possession water’.
When I wake up in the morning, I wonder about last night.
What kind of event will call me today~♪
ㅡ You drank too much….
“It’s true that you drank a lot, but that expression is a bit.”
Because Oaklia’s alcohol is strong, there is little hangover.
Sacred power doesn’t have the ability to drive out drunkenness, but it’s effective for headaches, so there are no aftereffects.
It’s just that things went smoothly, and my mouth twitched involuntarily.
ㅡ I should have drank moderately….
Miss Helena spilled her story with the feeling that she was constantly regretting it.
I didn’t feel like I was worried about my body.
It looks like something happened while I was sleeping….
ㅡ I’m sorry. I’m really sorry
What the hell is that?
ㅡ Well?
Who is this?
From this point of view, I don’t think I’ll even tell you.
What happened while I was asleep?
Have the representatives of the tribal union, who were so drunk, had an accident?
Or is it about the pancakes I made last night?
Still, I think I was conscious until I fell asleep….
I sighed and got up and stretched.
Then the strong smell of alcohol penetrated my nostrils.
Wow, that smell.
I hurriedly got up and opened the door.
Then, an immense chill engulfed the room.
I hurriedly closed the door and wrapped myself in a blanket.
“Ugh, write.”
This is why dinosaurs froze to death.
ㅡ Are you still sober?
“I’m sane.”
ㅡ Gotta wash up and go exercise!
“Yes, I have to go.”
If I had to exercise outside in this weather, I would have just rested.
It’s fortunate that they made an indoor gym.
But why does Helena tell me to go to the gym like this today?
You’re not like this….
ㅡ Get ready quickly.
“Oh, yes.”
I quickly finished preparing for the morning workout and left the room.
“Ugh.”
It’s really filthy cold.
A welcome party will be held soon that serves as an orientation for new students to the academy.
Students are going to visit Oklea soon, but it’s the temperature to wear pants in one day.
How did you survive in this weather without a rocket stove and mass heater?
ㅡ Think about that later!
It’s all here, it’s all here.
What the hell are you talking about….
With that in mind, I went into the gym, and saw the soldiers and Sir Lewis already warming up.
As usual, I started warming up in a place where I wouldn’t get in the way of others.
When I am warming up like this, Sir Louis, who has completed the guidance of the soldiers, will help me with my training.
ㅡ Now that you’ve grown enough to compete… This older sister is amazing
Who is who?
She has the appearance of asking if she’s a younger sister when we’re together.
Anyway, as Miss Helena said, I am a different person than I was before.
How! You said that you have become a body that can compete.
Who am I?
The owner of a holy sword who can compete with superhumans who pierce people’s necks with a paper gun.
The blood and sweat of the past year have made me who I am today.
Thanks to this, the description of the novel has become more realistic, and now I have the confidence that I may be able to defeat at least a new soldier.
Come on, Sir Lewis.
Wabarat!
Thought so, I stared at the place where Sir Louis was.
It was a signal to quickly notice my gaze and start competing.
However, Sir Louis was staring into the air with a slightly dazed feeling, perhaps not noticing my gaze.
To sum up the part that Sir Lewis puts the most emphasis on during his training in one word, it can be said to be the ‘Bright View Index’.
Wandering during training can lead to a serious accident, so I told you to focus only on the training sword in your hand during training.
But that Sir Lewis is not concentrating on his training.
What the hell is going on?
I was staring at Sir Louis while thinking that, but Sir Louis looked at me as if he had noticed only now.
Sir Lewis looked a little taken aback, then gave some instructions to a nearby soldier and came towards me.
“Are you feeling well?”
That’s what I want to ask.
“Yes, but is there any uncomfortable place?”
“… I just had a hard time falling asleep. Get your stance.”
“Oh, yes.”
If that’s Sir Lewis, then that’s probably it.
Anyway, he is a serious person when it comes to swords.
If you go into training, you will concentrate on your own.
I straight away took my distance from Sir Louis and took up my stance.
ㅡ Whoo whoop.
I rushed at Sir Louis with Miss Helena’s strange laughter as a signal.
Perfect!
The wooden sword I wielded was blocked by Sir Lewis’ wooden sword.
But I didn’t care and swung the wooden sword continuously.
When swinging a sword, always think about the next move after being blocked.
Be conscious of the distance between you and the other person, and put everything in the other person’s eyes.
The sword is both a means of attack and a means of defense.
I always keep in mind the swordsmanship movements I learned through training so that my attacks reach the enemy and the enemy’s attacks do not reach me.
I swung the sword as I had been taught by Sir Louis.
Of course, there were no attacks that were effective, but I felt that something was going well.
When I thought about something else like that, my hands and feet got twisted and my body stiffened.
Ah, this is dangerous?!
I immediately kicked the ground and thrust my sword at Sir Lewis.
That’s a mistake.
This is going to take a hit.
I gritted my teeth imagining the pain I would feel next.
However, even when the golden opportunity came, Sir Lewis did not attack me and spurred the ground to widen the distance.
Why?
If it was normal, I would have hit my body with moderately controlled power….
I regrouped and charged Sir Louis.
After about 5 minutes of fighting, I widened my distance from Sir Lewis and relaxed.
“Shall we wash up now?”
“… Yes?”
“Isn’t it because I got drunk in my body?”
For some reason, when it comes to a sword-fighting posture, Sir Louis tries to keep more distance than usual.
Even though it’s clearly out of shape and showing loopholes, it doesn’t attack.
I can say that because I have lived with being poked with a club every day.
It feels like the frequency of attacks has decreased by 1/3 compared to normal.
When he swung his sword at me, he had a very distressed expression on his face.
This is nothing but a smell.
“I was going to take a shower after working out anyway, so I roughly wiped it off with a towel soaked in water. Doesn’t it smell a bit strong?”
As I said that, I tugged at my clothes and sniffed.
Wow, that smell.
Sir Lewis, who is a superman and is more sensitive to smells, might be bothered by it.
As I scratched my head with a slightly embarrassed expression, Sir Louis turned his gaze slightly to the side.
… Was it because of the real smell?
ㅡ Huh.
Helena, why are you sighing?
I feel like sighing!
I was quite shocked and was thinking about whether I should wash up now, when I heard heavy footsteps somewhere.
“Oh, are you doing something fun?”
That was Aslan, the culprit who made me cook pancakes with alcohol yesterday.
“Your knights seem to be quite talented. I wanted to compete once from the first time I saw it.”
After saying that, Aslan approached us holding a wooden sword standing on the wall.
… It feels like something is out of whack.
I think it would be more helpful to watch the masters fight than to continue such ambiguous training.
“If Sir Louis would mind.”
When I said that, Sir Louis looked at me and Aslan, then turned to Aslan.
“Then let me ask you a question.”
“This is the one I’m asking for.”
Sir Lewis’s expression was a complicated expression.
It was painful, a little irritable, and just a little bit depressed.
… That little bit of annoyance must be because of the terrible smell of alcohol that Aslan also exudes, right?
Did I do something useless?
Thought so, I calmly moved to a safe corner.
“What is the protection of the stars?”
“Something I don’t use.”
“Then you think it would be too advantageous for me?”
“I didn’t train hard either.”
Kuuuong!
Aslan let out a loud roar like an animal and charged at Sir Louis.
His movements were like those of an animal.
I’m sure he’s holding a wooden sword identical to the one I’m holding, but it’s a movement that feels like he’s swinging his nails.
Sweetie!
Is that a move that can be made without using mana?
Sir Lewis lowered his stance as if sweeping his floor and dealt with Aslan’s attack with great difficulty.
It was the first time I had seen Aslan’s swordsmanship, so I felt quite embarrassed.
“As expected, you are strong!”
As time passed, Sir Louis began to skillfully parry Aslan’s attacks.
Now, it was to the point where Sir Lewis could use his power to counterattack.
But Aslan wasn’t strong enough, the attacks became more and more violent as they went on.
He wielded only a wooden sword at first, but his attacks were also mixed with his fists and kicks.
The swordsmanship of a beastman whose whole body is a weapon is probably something like that.
I don’t know if you use mana, but the current Sir Lewis didn’t feel very victorious.
… No, if you think about it, isn’t this too unfavorable for Sir Louis?
Even though Sir Lewis is a master swordsman, this is too out of a weight class!
I looked at Sir Louis with a worried expression.
“Use the protection of the stars. It hurts because I feel like bullying the weak for no reason.”
“….”
When Aslan said that, Sir Louis’ mood changed.
The expression disappeared from Sir Louis’ face, which had been nervous and frustrated until just a moment ago.
“Hmm?”
“What did you just say? Weak?”
Huh?
……
…
“Is that why Aslan became so bloody?”
“Well, that’s it.”
“It’s amazing. Were you such an emotional kid?”
“I feel sensitive today.”
“Oh, sometimes there are days like that.”
… Oh, is that so?
It can’t be helped if it’s ‘that day’.
“You touched the sleeping dragon’s evil.”
Aslan said it was fun and began to laugh.
As I healed Aslan, I stared blankly at the place where Sir Louis had left.
No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t seem like that day….
Sir Lewis had never looked like this in the past year.
It also bothers me that Helena-sama kept telling me to go exercise.
What the hell happened while I was sleeping?
