83. At the gymnasium (4)

All knights belonging to the Royal Guard have powerful martial arts.

As much as I have to protect and assist those who are the main pillars of the royal family, not others.

All of them are sword experts. It is not a clumsy entry, but only those who are fully skilled and have a refined state can join the Royal Guard.

And Dioria heard that the other day she had a chance to join the Royal Guard.

There is no need to explain the high status of a knight belonging to the Royal Guard.

Along with the honor of defending a country’s royal family, he even received a high salary.

If I could, I would rather stay in the county’s house at the western end of the kingdom and make my name known. It would be much better to become a knight who entered the royal castle and make a name for myself.

Dioria kicked off this honorable opportunity and remained a knight in Count Cianella’s family.

When Dioria’s and Siabelle’s names came out of my mouth, Shione thought for a moment.

“I was thinking of asking Lord Dioria about her sister’s swordsmanship…….”

Shione, lost in thought for a moment, starts to agree with my words.

“That doesn’t sound like a bad idea.”

I nodded at Sione’s words.

Do you remember that she wasn’t just excellent at martial arts, she sparred with Siabelle almost every day.

Even before going to see Sione’s ex-fiancé, Evan. When I look around the gymnasium, I always see Dioria and Siabelle facing swords.

I remember that Dioria intercepted Siabelle’s sword with no difficulty and gave her her lessons.

‘With Dioria’s help.’

She can unravel her sparring with Siabelle while familiarizing herself with Siabelle’s fighting style and her unique swordsmanship in advance.

‘Because the quest asked her to show her more than expected.’

In order to bloom Siabelle’s powers and enhance her mana efficiency.

In order to live up to her expectations, you need to know something about her opponent beforehand.

Yes—

‘… I can’t fathom how much Sia Belle has expectations of her.’

I don’t know if she’s really waiting for the day of her match with some level of expectation from me.

If you’re expecting a swordsmanship that can take down a wolf alone.

It would be relatively simple to show a level of martial arts that would exceed her standards.

Our Siabelle-nim is someone who knows the record of me killing Arachne, who wasn’t a wolf.

Well, it’s better than fighting for your life with a bunch of devil worshipers.

As expected, the confrontation with her did not seem to be resolved so easily.

Shione looked at me with a worried expression, as if she was thinking the same thing as me.

“Well… No matter how sparring it is, Siabelle’s sword is quite sharp. Since there is still quite a bit of time left, I think it would be good for her to continue to receive help from Sir Dioria.”

Shione’s tone seemed to be more concerned than necessary.

His expression is more spectacle.

Shione was looking at me as if I were a lover being dragged to the battlefield.

Anxiety starts to creep up at Shione’s hypersensitive reaction.

“… Don’t you keep things in your hands like that?”

Shione shook her head.

“Think of you enough, I think you will be careful, but…. Isn’t our family a family of heroes who defeated demons?”

“It was. It is said that the ancestors were awarded the title of count at the same time as the establishment of the kingdom in recognition of their achievement in defeating the devil…….”

“Yes, that’s why. Even the descending swordsmanship is all swordsmanship to subdue demons… I think your sister’s sword could be a little too extreme.”

“Ah.”

I understood Shione’s words and hardened my expression.

Because I’ve seen it before. How the one with the power of destruction fought against the devil and what his fighting style was like.

His fighting style at that time was—

“Whoa… ….”

If it’s to catch a demon.

There was no other way to describe it than sticking out my tongue.

Well, it’s just sparring, so I’d really like to go that far….

I couldn’t help but feel a little reluctant.

* *

Shione started practicing condensing mana into arrowheads in earnest.

Seeing that a blue energy forms on the sharp piece of iron and then disperses as soon as it is compressed more, it seems that there is still quite a bit of time left before it reaches the state I mentioned earlier.

Thanks to the completion of the quest while unraveling the past with Noah Veleia. As a reward, I got Shione’s Growth Speed Acceleration. I wonder if he will do it faster than the time previously assumed.

I looked at Shione and touched my mouth.

“Ummm… ….”

Like Shione said, it was to steal my lips.

My master concentrates while sweating drop by drop even in this air that is starting to get chilly as winter approaches.

In the past, there are words I sowed. More than half of the reason why Shione works so hard to polish her own inaction is that promise, so we can’t take it off hastily.

She was a little confused at the thought of what would happen to her in the future, but she soon calmed down.

She will not ignore the feelings she harbors, and she will definitely correct her mind and set her future course.

‘Well, think about this later.’

There is no need to hold on to a problem for a long time here that you can think about deeply before going to sleep.

After arguing and organizing my thoughts, I went out of the shooting range.

Above the wide open space, I could see the women training while sweating.

“Anna, it looks like your arms are already shaking!”

“Oh no!”

“Heryl next to you too!”

From noble mtl dot com

… It’s been hard since broad daylight.

The enlisted men of the count family were honing their wooden swords and practicing their swordsmanship and stamina according to the instructor’s instructions.

Recently, there has been a commotion related to mines. They say that monsters often come down to the manor and play games.

They shook their swords more vigorously than I can remember, and were getting exhausted at a faster rate.

“It seems that the training intensity has increased considerably.”

After praying for at least a cool breeze to blow to them who are sweating profusely, I hope it can be a comforting thing.

I turned my gaze to the sound of exchanging sword strikes.

“Hey there.”

Instead of wooden swords, those who are continuing bloody sparring with an iron training sword with a dead blade.

Of course, refined swordsmanship and lean movements. Even the presence that is significantly different from that of ordinary soldiers with just their momentum.

They were called knights who realized mana.

I found Dioria among the knights.

“I found it.”

Dioria, who should have had a heated conversation about the sword, sticking close to Siabelle.

Is there a story to share with Ainel or a problem to solve? Siabelle didn’t show up at the gym for two days.

Dioria naturally only exchanged simple sparring with other knights or practiced the sword alone.

And now, is the basic skill important?

Dioria silently brandished her own sword.

Quick!

I slowly approached her, watching her sword cut through the wind without any fuss.

“Hello Dioria.”

“Hmm? You… ….”

Dioria’s cold, deep eyes embraced my image.

She checked her face within her for a moment, then nodded as if she remembered.

“Oh, isn’t it Sione-nim’s exclusive attendant? It’s been a long time since we talked like this.”

“Yes, Dioria-nim, has she been okay?”

“Of course. After catching mines in the Beltrin Mountains, there wasn’t much danger. Because I shared a sword with Siabelle-sama at the Count’s house.”

Dioria and I started our conversation with simple words of thanks.

Certainly, since I met Shione and Evan Pei Osha, I hadn’t had a separate conversation with her, so I was able to share her story with her.

After we exchanged stories like that for a while, Dioria asked me with a puzzled face.

“By the way… how did you come to me Is it okay if I ask why?”

I nodded at her words.

“I don’t mind… I came here because I have something I want to ask of Dioria.”

“This is what I want to ask for. I want to listen and decide.”

If you want to listen and decide.

I slowly began to explain my business to her.

From sharing swords with Siabelle. To make her live up to her expectations as much as possible. He said he wanted to devise how to break her swordsmanship and strike her sword.

As I explained slowly, the corners of Dioria’s mouth gradually caught on.

“Well, since I protected Shione-nim with a sword the other day. Your record of capturing Arachne is circulating. It seems that Siabelle-sama has taken an interest in you.”

“That word—”

“Let me help you. Bring a sword.”

Dioria pointed a finger at her corner.

Where her finger pointed, there were blunt bladed training swords gathered in threes and fives of each type.

“Because the best way to learn a sword is to experience it with your own body.”

I stood in front of the weapon stand.

Dioria and Siabelle’s long sword, as well as my own short sword.

All sorts of weapons were prepared, and fortunately, I was able to pick up a familiar type of sword.

Naturally, I raised a shortsword and stood in front of Dioria.

Sreureung… ….

It was a blunt sword with dead blades, but was he himself a sword made of cold iron?

As the white sword came out of the scabbard, a metallic sound resounded.

Soon, as soon as I adjusted my posture.

“Let’s go in.”

Whoo!!

It seems like he won’t do anything to treat him as Dioria’s black man.

It aimed at my throat and stabbed me in a plain, cold manner.

Chaeng!!

When I blocked her attack by twisting the trajectory with my long longsword sideways, Dioria met her eyes with a short exclamation.

I just laughed silently at Diolia’s sudden attack, which was absurd.

No, please.

What’s so urgent that you’re trying to stab my neck with a sword.
