When I left my room to have breakfast, I saw Hannah waiting for me in front of my room.“Good morning. Wanna have breakfast together?”She asked while looking at me with a slight smile. In the last five months, my relationship with Hannah progressed quite a lot. Although I didn’t need someone to talk to or anything, it was not boring to talk with Hannah and spend some of my free time.And, just like me, she, too, developed herself quite well in this period of time. Now, you must already know the fact that she was not a good fighter in the beginning. In the bandit attack that happened while we were traveling, she couldn’t do anything aside from watching, although she had a higher rank than me.And that seems to have scratched her pride and made her wake up to reality. If, in the beginning, she was giving the vibe of an innocent girl, now she started excluding the aura of a warrior, albeit she still has a long way to go.“Sounds good. Let’s go.”I answered her back while observing her b
When the sparring day would come, the first thing we do would be to exercise beforehand. That is the reason why I am here running at a slow pace while trying to get my body warmed. However, if there was one thing I didn’t like, then that would be the loud existence running beside me.“Hey, Darius. How did you get invited to the Millennium Academy? In the beginning, you didn’t have a high rank either.”That loud existence was the older girl with a slight smile who constantly kept asking me questions without showing any signs of stopping.“I don’t have any reason to tell you, though?” I said, trying to show her my annoyance. However, being the iron lady she is, of course, she didn’t understand what I was trying to convey.“Ha, why, though? It is not like that is a secret, right? I was just curious.”“So what if you are curious? You can’t have anything you want.”“Sigh. Sometimes I can’t understand if you are friendly or not. When it comes to the questions with yourself, you are never an
When I was saying Ria was going to, that was not only because I had observed her fights but also because I knew her from the Rise of the Fallen itself. She was a very famous hero in the game, and she was an S-rank. And she was known by the name Quick Blade Ria. The master she was taught by is actually one of the people that knows how to use the unique Iai stance that heavily relies on quick drawing. And in the game, Ria was one of the people that we could learn this skill from.However, while I was watching her fights, she never used her unique drawing posture. Although there were some fights that were close to her loss, she judged her situation quite well and always managed to win.But, it seems this time it was not the case for that since Celia herself also used quite a strong skill. Although I don’t know the origins of Celia, she must be a noble from the way she is always dressing and her demeanor itself. The way she carries herself makes her look like a graceful lady, which means
While we were sparring in the past, Hannah and I had never sparred with each other before. It was always sparring between seniors; therefore, hearing the captain saying that made us a bit surprised, to be honest.“Now, let’s watch the fight between juniors.”“Yes, show us the results of your training.”When Chanelle and Marcus said that, Hannah had turned her head to me with a bewildered expression.“We are fighting with each other?”And asked with the same expression on her face.“Yes, you are going to fight each other. Since, in the beginning, even though your rank was higher than Darius, his fighting skills were better; therefore, we decided to hone your skills first. However, now it is time for you to face Darius.”Saying that, Chanelle started explaining the reason why they didn’t make us fight at the beginning. And, to be honest, they must also have considered the fact that Hannah has a slight fear of me. Since she directly saw me killing bandits without even the slightest conce
The moment I fired the arrow at Hannah’s head and missed it knowingly by a hair’s breadth, the fight was over./THUD/With a graceful movement, I landed on to the ground like an acrobat with the help of my parkour talent and started looking at Hannah to see if there was any injury on her side. Since I have taken some hits while fighting with Hannah in a close combat, I had a slight pain in my wounds, albeit it was not that bad.“Ah, in the end, I still lost.” Hannah mumbled with a slightly dejected expression./CLAP/ /CLAP/ /CLAP/ /CLAP/ /CLAP/ /CLAP/ /CLAP/ /CLAP/ /CLAP/ /CLAP/ /CLAP/ /CLAP/Since it was already obvious that I had won the fight, everyone started clapping, and Hannah, too, put her weapon down.“That was a very good fight. Both of you showed how you could fight. Even though Darius won in the end, you still did a very good job, Hannah, no need to be discouraged.”Coming closer to the arena, Chanelle said with a slight smile on her face. Behind her, there were two healer
After miss Seratan left, I started walking towards to my room since I thought everyone had already left. But that doesn’t seem to be the case.“What did you talk about with miss Seratan?”Saying that, Hannah came closer to me.“It was nothing important. But, where is your father?”“Ah, father? He had left already. He said he would talk to you later when the entrance exam comes closer. He was in a bit of a hurry.”“I see.”The atmosphere got a little awkward after I said that. It looks like Hannah wanted to say something to me, but she was a bit shy about it since she is fidgeting with her hands right now.Since I didn’t want to look rude but also had things to do, I decided to be blunt.“Do you have something to say?”/FLINCH/Hearing me, she flinched suddenly.“Ah, it is just….”“It is just?”“I was just going to ask you to hang out since we are free right now. I saw a new restaurant opening and got an invitation.”From the looks of it, she wanted to hang out with me. Considering her
After entering the armory with a heavily guarded door, I started skimming through D-rank skills first. Since I didn’t have much time, checking higher rank skills first seemed like a better option.Albeit, it was unnecessary. Although Silverfall Guild was a B-rank guild, finding skills and putting them on the skill tomes to let people acquire is not that easy; therefore, there weren’t a lot of skills.Anyway, after checking skills, I saw most of them were either related to a close combat weapon, or they were restricted by a certain affinity.As a result, I decided to go with a skill that is useful for me.[Eagle Vision] – The user’s eyesight will expand, and the user will be able to see everything for a short amount of time from the eyes of a mana bird that is created – No restrictionsIn the game, you could enhance your skills by synthesizing related skills together the fill the gaps that your skill doesn’t have. And seeing the system I have is close to the system in the game itself,
“Caution. An S-rank gate has appeared in Aachen City Square. Please don’t get panicked, and stay in your homes.”Listening to the voice of announcements coming from the loudspeakers all around the city while observing all those people trying to reach their homes, I left the guild building, putting a cloak over my head.Since the city is in a state of chaos, the order is slightly messed up. However, it is just ‘slightly’ messed up. The fact that all those people are returning to their homes and preparing a shelter for those who entered the city for just a daily business itself shows the city management knows how to deal with those types of situations.Although an S-rank gate is rare, the fact that they are even prepared for that and not panicked shows the difference between the countries. If it was the Raikan Kingdom, even in their Capital, the S-rank gate would deal a tremendous amount of damage since the citizens were all uneducated at that point.Crisis management itself is a very i
