After some time, Theo and Irene’s battle ended.

Of course, Theo lost.

Theo held his thighs with both hands, supported his body about to fall, and took a rough breath.

‘That’s a dogged answer.’

I thought it was worth trying 10 minutes ago, but that was my own mistake.

His wooden sword couldn’t even pass Irene’s collar.

Even more desperate, she dealt with him only defensively.

“Woo…”

Irene would not have brought out even 10% of her skills.

Stats and traits are important, but not everything.

Irene’s swordsmanship was that good.

He didn’t feel the explosive momentum like Noctar with an axe, but he simply blocked all the attacks of conversion.

I felt it was a wall.

* * *

Irene glanced at Theo.

He was drenched in sweat, his head bowed and breathing.

Sweaty training clothes were clinging to his body.

His sharp and strong body line was exposed.

‘Uh, uh.’

Irene felt her face heat up and looked at the ground for nothing.

‘By the way, except for the immature things, is it okay?’

Although she didn’t show it outwardly, Irene was quite surprised.

Theo was stronger than expected.

If you ask someone to pick just the two most important things in melee combat, they’ll most likely pick up physics and skill.

Theo’s physical ability was excellent.

When the wooden swords collided, the transmitted power was not formidable.

At that level, he was unconditionally ranked at the top of the Knights Faculty.

Even in the Faculty of Heroes, which is full of geniuses, it will be in the middle.

‘The momentum was excellent, and although there are few, I can use technology.’

It was clumsy, but I knew how to use the technology itself.

Irene’s family, Aslan, is a knightly family with a long history.

From a young age, she grew up watching and learning from articles that were called me.

There are many people stronger than himself in this Elinia Academy, but he is confident that he will not lose to anyone in terms of swordsmanship.

Not to mention she is the senior in the grade.

He was quick in theory as well as in practice, so he quickly came up with Theo’s problems.

‘Then what he needs now.’

It is to raise the proficiency of skills that can be used clumsily at present.

If only this part is supplemented, his skill will rise sharply.

Increasing the number of skills is just as important, but that’s for later.

Theo is not a genius.

You have to do it step by step, starting with what is easy to do.

So Irene organized her thoughts and opened her mouth.

“I’ll be honest.”

“Welcome.”

“To be honest, it’s more than I expected. My body is almost complete. All I need to do is learn and practice the techniques. Of course, it would be more efficient to master the skills I can use now.”

She seldom compliments others.

He knows this too.

This was commendable.

“···is it.”

But Theo had a dissatisfied face.

Irene was bewildered.

Of course I thought you’d like it.

‘no way.’

Are you not satisfied?

“You don’t look satisfied. But looking at your past, it’s a huge step forward. No one has made such progress in such a short period of time as you. You can be proud of yourself.”

Compliments poured out of Irene’s mouth.

Nevertheless, Theo still had a dissatisfied face.

‘What…’

Curiosity grew inside Irene.

Theo is completely different from the past.

Compared to last year’s first semester public competition evaluation, it’s hard to believe that it’s just another person with the same appearance.

In order to grow to this extent, it does not take a short period of time, such as a month or two.

It can be done with continuous effort for at least several years.

Irene’s head was spinning rapidly.

‘But during the public evaluation of the first semester last time, I ran away stating a nonsensical reason. But I’ve never even heard of any training.’

.

Have you been acting stupid and incompetent all this time?

Thinking that far, Irene’s head got dizzy.

The body doesn’t lie.

His physique was real.

‘why? wherefore?’

I can’t come up with a clear answer as to why this was always the case.

On the one hand, he was miserable.

No one really knows, how long he must have been working alone.

What is the reason for acting while being pointed at and despised by everyone?

Irene felt the limits of her imagination.

‘Maybe it was related to that incident 7 months ago.’

The incident in which the remaining feelings for him disappeared in an instant.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it.

When I think of that incident, disgust rises in the corner of my heart.

Irene’s calm face is covered with disgust.

at that time.

“…I want to win.”

Theo’s words broke Irene’s thoughts.

Irene looked at Theo with a puzzled face.

Because it was an unexpected, pure answer.

Theo looked at Irene with hazy eyes and spoke slowly.

“Help me.”

“··········!”

Irene paused.

Towadao, it was because the sound of those words was so good.

Enough to dissipate the disgust that covered his face in an instant.

That sound moved my heart.

But my head blocked my heart.

Theo, that guy is unforgivable.

“Why me?”

Irene spit out as harsh words as she could now.

Then he looked at Theo.

He lowered his head and looked at him with complicated eyes.

Eyes like an arrogant cat that is hurt and sad.

‘ah.’

Crackle, wiggle.

She bit her teeth tightly, making a self-suggestion, ‘You must not go over it.’

Those eyes are foul.

Normally I would just skip it, but now I’m very confused.

Then, Theo looked at her again and said,

“Irene.”

“Why, why?”

Irene barely made eye contact and made a self-suggestion that she should not go inside constantly.

However,

“All I have left is you… Help me.”

Her autonomy was shattered in an instant.

* * *

After getting my swordsmanship corrected by Irene, and having a few more skill demonstrations.

I had a late dinner alone at a nearby restaurant.

I asked Irene to eat together, but she refused because she was not feeling well.

The whole time he was teaching swordsmanship, his face was red and he seemed to be really sick, showing a sign of embarrassment.

“Whoa.”

I hope you don’t get sick

There’s really no one else to learn from him.

By the way, I was faced with a reality I wanted to avoid.

I have no talent.

without too much

I didn’t understand any of the techniques Irene had taught me.

These are skills I’ve seen dozens of times in this game, but I can’t even get a feel for them when I try to actually use them.

When I saw it, I thought, ‘It’s like that~’, but I can’t do it in a situation where I have to do it myself.

It just feels that way.

Also that’s the only way.

As soon as I returned to my room and washed up, I turned on the shop window.

Actions that depend on probability should be avoided.

This is the only way to dramatically increase your odds of winning on Friday.

“Ugh, it’s a shame.”

I bought [Observer’s Eye].

[Purchase has been completed.]

[Remaining items: 1 shop gold coin, 10 shop silver coins]

Just like when I bought [Disable Magic], nothing happened except for a message window to appear.

sucks.

I was relieved and immediately lay down on the bed.

It’s still too early to go to bed, but lying down makes me fall asleep.

Irene said she would help me tomorrow as well.

Every moment of her will be captured in both eyes.

You have to ask them to show you all the skills you can use.

I fell asleep right away.

Four days later, Friday at 7am.

A simulation training center dedicated to the Faculty of Heroes.

I went into one of the many rooms attached to it and practiced mock exercises.

Maybe it’s not the Warriors’ Faculty, the size of this room is also incredibly large.

And in front of me is a magic doll in human form.

A magic doll about the size of Ralph is holding a two-handed blunt weapon.

The Braves Training Center supports various simulation exercises such as magic warfare and hand-to-hand combat.

It is over technology that cannot be imagined in this world without guns.

It was created by Odius, a colleague and friend of the first president Ryuk, and the last 9th circle wizard on the continent.

[Setup is complete. Please answer ‘yes’ when you are ready.]

A magical voice is heard.

“Yes.”

Eventually, the magic doll began to move.

Although it was a doll, it was very similar to human movements.

Even rough stats can be set, so I set the same as Ralph’s.

Personal characteristics and skills cannot be applied and there is a clear limitation that there is no emotion, but even this is a sense of virtue.

I am reminded of how deceitful magic is in this world,

“······come.”

Looking at the magic doll, I muttered.

Ride up-

As if he had understood those words, a heavy magic doll ran towards me.

After about two hours of mock practice, I washed my sweaty body in the shower room attached to the training ground.

Of course, I also brought cosmetics and perfume.

shake.

I prepared so thoroughly that I couldn’t do more, but I was nervous.

From Tuesday to now.

After the academy lectures were over, I received guidance from Irene, and I woke up early in the morning to practice alone.

It’s limited to magic dolls, not real people, but the skills I learned from Irene worked well.

The match lasts up to 5 minutes.

I am the 39th Dalian, so it will start after lunchtime at the earliest.

So I wanted to practice more, but it would be very helpful to preview the skills of other students.

“I will, I will win.”

I sighed and pounded my chest, then headed to the classroom.
