Chapter 232: Chapter 223 Alvin’s Special Training
The next day, after receiving information that Dragonn was going to participate in the fighting tournant, Shinji decided to accompany Alvin and Emily to their training. The two had been inford of this in advance, and they gathered outside the city at their usual training spot.
"What is your plan to deal with a Dragonn with a horn?"
Alvin spoke to Shinji while carrying a one-handed sword for the tournant on his shoulder. Alvin's expression hardened after he talking about it.
"Let's have Emily and I play at the sa ti. And Emily and Alvin will fighting one-on-one, with backing her up"
"...As I expected, that's what you'll do"
He doesn't think about that Emily is a very good swordsman, and she's going to have a magical backup. Instead, he thinks about the Dragonn with the dragon horn who could do magic and swordmanship alone.
"In the tournant rules, is prohibited, so you have a chance to win. Still, there were weapon handicaps rules"
"Ah, I want to use a greatsword..."
Alvin sagged in disappointnt at Shinji's words.
In the rules of the tournant, the weapon to be used in the competition was one-handed sword. The weight and length of the sword is the sa as the most common standard size.
In addition, the sword has a spell that prevents the blade from ever cutting through a person. In addition.
And there is a ban on race-specific magic.
This includes the Dragonn .
Prohibition of magic with slashing ability.
This applies to cutting magic such as .
Also, prohibition of special magic.
This is a asure to eliminate inequality in the use of magic by Upper ranking adventurers.
If a player fails to follow these four rules, they will be disqualified.
When Shinji thought of Hino, he rembered that she had a sheath of a weapon inserted in her waist. It was a long and thin shape, not like a standard size sword by any ans.
So, if Alvin had the sa problem of not being able to use his favorite weapon, and if race-specific magic was also banned, then he might have a chance to win.
That's what Shinji was thinking.
"Collaborating with Shinji... It's kinda nice "
"Okay, okay, Emily, don't move"
"Yes~"
Shinji put magic paper on Emily's arms, back, hands, legs, and everywhere else, and glued them on with magic to prevent them from coming off.
"What's that?"
"It's a tool that can be used as a starting point for magic. It allows to cast spells from the paper that can only be cast from my hand. The power is greatly reduced, though. And it's a asure because both of you moving too fast for to keep up, and I want Alvin to assu it's a decently powerful spell"
"I see, I get it"
Shinji spoke as he worked, and Alvin nodded.
Emily, who had papers plastered all over her, was touched by Shinji, and grinned good-naturedly as she held her one-handed sword for the tournant.
"I'm ready! Alvin, let's do this!"
"Yes, Master!"
Emily and Alvin's cheerful voices rang out.
* * *
Alvin and Emily held their swords and faced each other.
As in the tournant, the initial standing position was four ters, which ant that they could cross swords with each other as soon as they stepped in.
"Are you ready? Well then... Start!!"
When the two were ready, Shinji gave the signal to begin.
The first one to step in was Alvin.
And Emily was able to catch him. But imdiately, Emily counterattacked, and Alvin caught her with his sword.
The exchange of attacks started with Alvin, but Emily's sharp counterattacks began to overwhelm him, and the offensive flow of Alvin attacking and receiving counterattacks turned into a flow of receiving attacks and counterattacking.
(I knew it was going to be tough)
Alvin knew that Emily's attacks were much sharper than his, so he put magic power into his legs and kicked the ground as usual.
Normally, Emily would chase after him right away, but....
""
Emily doesn't move from her spot, but points her hand that doesn't have a sword at Alvin, and from that hand, the magic that Shinji chanted is released.
A large number of waterballs the size of a fist rushed towards Alvin.
Though the power of the spell is weak due to the paper, but because he assud that if it's in its original form, it is impossible for Alvin to take it. Then he jumps to the side to escape, but Emily had no trouble anticipating a situation where there was only a limited escape route.
Before Alvin could adjust his stance, Emily jumped on him and swung her sword down from above. He managed to catch it with his own sword, but it completely stopped Alvin on his feet.
""
Emily's free hand, not holding a sword, was in front of Alvin's face. And a lump of water the size of a man's head shot out of her hand and hit Alvin's head, making a nice thud. Alvin, who was been hit in the head, caused his vision to blur for a mont.
The next mont, Emily's sword was on Alvin's neck.
"Okay, that's enough"
Alvin's face was aghast.
"Seriously ... Is this how the Dragonn with the horns will do...?"
"Well, I don't know. I can't say for sure because I haven't seen them in action... but you can see that fighting a magic swordsman requires a different approach, right?"
"Yeah. It's a bad idea to get too far away from them. However, even if it's too close, the magic seems to co from a free hand..."
"There's even magic for close quarters, you know?"
In contrast to Alvin, who is thinking about ways to win, Emily is in a good mood and hugs Shinji's arm.
"We worked together perfectly!"
"Well, I'm used to watching Emily's moves..."
"This is the proof of our love for each other ..."
Kyaa Emily put her hands on her cheeks and was embarrassed, while Shinji stroked her head.
"Don't be silly, I'll do it next ti. It's all about trial and error"
"Okay, Alvin, are you ready?"
"Yes! I'll fight and fight and fight!"
Thus, began Shinji and Emily's training for Alvin's battle against the Dragonn.
_____________
This is Alvin's training session for the tournant.
Alvin's training for the tournant begins, as Emily, Shinji, and Alvin continue to fight against their powerful opponent, Hino-chan.
Also, the tournant rules.
The rules of the tournant are too favorable to swordsn, but since it's a tournant for knights, the rules require participation with a one-handed sword, which is basic equipnt for knights.
The blacksmith's workshop treats the knights who buy weapons in bulk and do regular maintenance as better custors than the adventurers who buy weapons irregularly.
It's not a fair competition, but rather a competition for knights, and anyone can participate, so there is a slight disadvantage.
The knights are happy to be able to fight the strong (adventurers) they haven't seen yet!
The adventurers are also happy because they can fight the knights and might even get to know the aweso blacksmith!
The blacksmith is also happy because he's discovered a great swordsman!
