Chapter 75: Taming (2) (2)

The next morning.

Velkist and Neryssa didnt show up for morning training.

Eolka looked surprised.

Where did those two go? They didnt desert right after coming here, did they?

No, they went to the first floor.

Why the first floor?

They asked for so ti from .

Yesterday, Neryssa ca to my room in the early morning.

The request was to remove the two from tomorrows training schedule. I readily agreed.

Eolkas complexion brightened.

So, what about todays training

Since two of them are gone, we should increase the intensity.

Oh no!

That morning, Eolka received an extra pouch of sand.

And in the afternoon.

It wasnt until late in the evening that the two of them showed up at the training ground. I sheathed my sword and approached them.

Are you adequately prepared?

As much as we can be.

Neryssa answered.

Velkist remained expressionless, but his eyes revealed his determination.

Jenna.

Yes, Im ready.

Jenna, who had been practicing at the shooting range, ca down.

Jenna wiped the sweat off with a towel and alternated her gaze between the two.

Are both of you ready? Oppa said its a one ti.

Were ready.

Ill go up first.

Jenna gracefully ascended to the training ground.

On her left belt were two short swords, and on her right, a short bow and quiver were attached.

Do as we discussed.

Neryssa whispered to Velkist.

Velkist furrowed his brows for a mont but then relaxed.

Finally, the two of them entered the training ground. The iron bars closed with a loud noise.

The rules are the sa as yesterday. Use real weapons, and there are no other restrictions. You only get one chance.

We understand.

Neryssa drew her rapier.

Velkist also brandished his short swords. He took a stance and mumbled, This doesnt feel right, but I have no choice.

The duel began.

As always, Jenna initiated an attack.

Hmm?

Jenna hesitated for a mont instead of reaching for her arrows. At the sa mont, Velkist and Neryssa, who had been spreading out to the sides, froze in place.

Anyway, here it goes!

Jennas arrow was aid at Neryssa.

Neryssa had weaker throwing resistance compared to Velkist. It was a reasonable decision to knock down the weaker one first.

However, Velkist, standing beside her, moved suddenly and shattered the arrow aid at Neryssa.

Then, Neryssa threw a short sword.

Jenna narrowly dodged the blade. At the sa ti, the second round of shooting followed. Jenna had the ability to maintain continuous shooting in any position. Five arrows were aid at various vulnerable points on Neryssas body.

Now I can see it.

[Skill Awakening!]

[Velkist () has acquired Throwing Resistance!]

Velkist swung his sword, causing the arrows to fall in unison.

With his sword held sideways, Velkist rushed towards Jenna.

Youre too far away.

Jenna calmly blocked his attack with an arrow.

The distance between the two wasnt close enough yet. It was still Jennas territory. Five arrows aid at vulnerable spots and gaps in movents were heading towards Velkist.

Velkist dodged one arrow and deflected two.

Two arrows remained. With their unavoidable trajectories and speed, Velkist continued his charge. Suddenly, Neryssa, who had appeared from behind, shattered the two arrows with her rapier.

It took them two days.

I heaved a sigh.

If you cant handle it alone, handle it together.

They made a fuss because they didnt know sothing so simple.

Velkist and Neryssa, covering each others weaknesses, broke through the barrage of arrows and closed the distance to Jenna.

Then they split apart.

And simultaneously, they rged.

Its over.

Ah!

Jenna avoided Velkists thrust by jumping backward, kicking against the iron bars.

The short sword chased after Jennas back. Then, Neryssa, who had sprung up to the sa position, thrust with her rapier. At the sa ti, Velkist thrust from below to above.

Ugh!

Jennas posture was disrupted, and her dress was torn.

Before she could regain her composure, Neryssa grabbed her.

A dagger was at Jennas throat.

Its over.

Did I lose?

Jenna scratched her head.

Such an easy thing.

Velkist muttered dejectedly.

I smiled and stepped forward.

You struggled all day because you didnt know this easy thing.

If they had seen the battle on the boss stage, they would have known that group strength took precedence over individual strength. They just hadnt emotionally accepted it. I was rely helping them realize that.

Anyway, you passed. Rember this feeling.

Can we defeat the senior with this fighting style?

Wanna try?

I drew my sword.

And naturally.

The two of them were utterly defeated by .
