“Sorry to keep you waiting. Now it’s Shun, Shiro, and Ao’s turn.”
“Okay~”
After the practical training of the others, it was finally our turn. By the way, I was watching other people’s fights, and no matter how I look at it, they were better than those two. Maybe those two underestimated adventurers, thinking they could simply become adventurers after failing the knight exam.
“Uhm, why is it that guild master is with another staff member?”
“Because I think that for Shun and the others, I couldn’t do it alone.”
“““Oh—!”””
No, no, wait. What is the Guild Master talking about?
The people around us, please don’t get too excited. But that being said, this is already an unavoidable scenario so I could only comply. As for Shiro and Ao, they are already full of enthusiasm and are already gearing up.
“Shiro, Ao, your opponent is a master at fighting, so focus on protecting yourself.”
“Got it!”
I warned Shiro and Ao just in case, but I’m sure they’ll launch a suicide attack. Thinking so, I also prepared myself.
“Alright, begin!”
When the referee gave the signal, the guild master came straight towards me.
Bang!
“Hoh~, so you predicted this attack.”
“The Guild Master was keeping an eye on me, so I prepared a magic barrier just in case.”
That was close.
The guild master suddenly charged at me and punched me. Before the duel began, the guild master glanced at us, so it was good that I was on guard. I kicked the guild master and tries to get some distance, but the guild master still brings me into a hand-to-hand fight.
Shiro and Ao are happily wrestling with the burly staff member.
Uh-, I want them to help me.
“Fufufu, I heard that you are a mage but you can also fight huh. This is interesting.”
“Well, I act as Shiro and Ao’s training partner a little bit.”
After the morning magic training, I’m doing hand-to-hand combat training with Shiro and Ao. Those two do not hesitate to hit me, so I struggled a lot. Still, it seems that the daily combat training has helped. The Guild Master is also going easy on me so I’m able to defend myself.
However, with this close contact, I cannot use magic.
I’ll try out something.
“Yo!”
“Well, well, looks who’s thinking.”
I jumped up a little and then I instantly unleashed a wind magic at the guild master. The propulsion of wind magic allows me to keep some distance between me and the guild master, who takes a defensive stance and can’t move. Immediately after that, I used air bullets to keep her from closing our distance. The guild master on the other hand blocks the wind mass by punching it.
“Hmm, you have refined your magical power well. It’s quite powerful.”
“Really? Please don’t put on such nonchalant look and don’t block my attack then.”
I combined multiple attributes to cast magic, but all of them were blocked. Earlier, she also calmly punched the fireball released by that mage in flashy outfit, but to be able to nonchalantly block my lightning balls and water balls as well is really incredible.
She is indeed worthy of being the Guild Master.
By the way, at this moment, Shiro and Ao is having a conversation and getting an advice from the staff member they fought against.
You guys, help me……
I adjusted my stance once more and just when I am about to release my magic,
“Time’s up.”
The referee called out.
“““Whoa! That was amazing!”””
Was there a time limit?
There were loud cheers from the people around us who were watching our fight. I was so focused that I didn’t notice what was going on around me.
“That was amazing, Oniichan.”
“Thanks. I mean, Shiro and Ao, why didn’t you help me?”
“I thought Oniichan would be fine!”
When I asked Shiro and Ao, who came to my side, why they did not assist me in the fight earlier, they grinned as they answered that. I couldn’t help but gasp.
“That was great. Where did Shun and Shiro learn magic?”
“We were just taught about the basics and the rest are self-taught so we really don’t have that in particular.”
“Hmm, I see. We do hold magic and martial arts classes at the guild once in a while, so take them when you have time.”
“Yes.”
“Thank you.”
“There are also short courses for weapons, I recommend that you guys take that as well.”
“““Yes!”””
The course ended when the Guild Master gave the course information not only to me and Shiro, but also to the other adventurers.
There were some troubles, but it helped me a lot.
