Chapter 38 Skill

In the room, Charles and Charlote asked us about adventurers. Starting from the missions we live, then also skills and magic, to the monsters we fight.

“So you guys have fought monsters inside dungeons too?” ask Charles.

“Iya. Our first Dungeon was very difficult,” replied Emilia.

“I heard that getting into the dungeon must be with a lot of people. Is that true?” ask Charlote.

“True. Especially if the dungeon still has a boss. It would be very dangerous to come alone,” I replied.

“Then have you guys ever fought a boss dungeon?” ask Charlote.

Charlote seemed to be more interested in adventurers than Charles.

“Entertainment. Only 2 times,” replied Emilia.

“Means your skills are great, right?” asked Charles enthusiastically.

“Not mean our skill is great. By the time we first entered into a dungeon, the skill we had could be said to be a basic skill. Only Emilia has attacking skills, whereas I only fight relying on a weapon,” I replied.

From the look on Charles's face, he looked disappointed.

“Although the skill is weak, if you can master it and use it at the right time, then you can defeat a much stronger enemy,” said Emilia.

“Really?”

Charles seems to think that having great skills is very important. Then I will inform him of my and Emilia's fight with the Executioner.

“I'll tell you both our secrets. We entered into our first dungeon and fought the boss of that dungeon with only 2 people. As I said earlier we only have weak skills,” I said.

“It's true. We almost died at that time. But we survived by exploiting the strength and also the skills we have appropriately,” continued Emilia.

I then told how when we fought the enemies in the forest at the time we first became adventurers.

“Skill is great but the origin of using will be a burden,” I said.

“Means?” ask Charlote confused.

“In the second dungeon, in addition to fighting the boss of that dungeon we also fought the guardian. We came with a big group. Many of them have great skills, but attack carelessly,” I said.

“What kind of monster is the guardian dungeon?” ask Charles.

“Hmmm, he's a giant tortoise named Adamantoise. Many adventurers attacked in his head but he always regenerated. The way to beat it is to destroy the core.”

“Some of us who knew about it attacked the shell of Adamantoise to find the core of the monster and destroy it,”.

Charles seems to have understood about a great skill if not able to use well will lose to a weak skill but used well.

“You two are adventurers of what rank?” ask Charlote.

“We rank C,” replied Emilia.

“Not that means you guys are not too strong to enter the dungeon?” ask Charles.

“For us it is just a formality. Even when entering the first dungeon I told you about earlier, we have not officially become adventurers,” I replied.

Charlote then looked at the sword fig of Emilia with sparkling eyes.

“What's Charlote? Looks like you're interested in my sword?” ask Emilia.

“I'm curious about your weapon. In addition, I also did not see the weapon used by Ciel,” replied Charlote.

“It's true. Didn't Ciel use the arrow when he saved us earlier?” ask Charles.

“Ah, that matter also includes my skill,” I replied.

“How about tomorrow you guys show your ability?” ask Charles.

“Sorry Charles. We don't want to show off our skills. Besides why should we show it?” ask Emilia.

“Of course we don't accept. Therefore we want you two to fight some of the soldiers to prove it. The general may also participate. What do you think?” keep Charles.

Actually Emilia and I don't really care about this, because we're used to it. But because Chales and Charlote defended us, so we made an exception.

“Alright, but this is for you,” I replied.

“Then tomorrow you will fight them. We will tell father,” said Charles.

After that they both went to tell the king. A few moments later they came back and told us that the king agreed.

The next day Emilia and I were taken to the arena in the palace. Today also Laura and also the group belonging to Evan left for the capital. They'll be there tomorrow.

In the arena we have been awaited by the general and also some soldiers.

“The one who will fight you two is me,” said the general in a proud tone.

“Then I will fight you,” replied Emilia.

“No. I want you two to face me.”

“General, I agree with Emilia to fight against you 1 against 1,” Charles said.

“Good. But if you lose don't be disappointed,” said the general.

I then pulled over from the arena along with Charles and Charlote. Emilia prepared her masamune. Unlike usual, he would purely use his sword alone without Blue Fire.

The king and queen as well as some nobles also came to see the fight. From the eyes of the boys, I saw that they supported the general to win this fight.

Fight's starting. The general immediately started an attack on Emilia. The attack in the form of heavy vertical sabetage was successfully avoided. Emilia immediately launched a counterattack.

He used a fast attack to push back the general. There was something unique about Emilia's attack. He used the blunt part of the masamune to attack. Masamune himself is a katana, so he has a side that is not sharp.

This is my plan and Emilia's. We knew the general was going to fight us both. But last night Emilia asked me not to fight and I agreed.

But I asked Emilia to use the blunt side until the general used all her skills or when Emilia felt threatened. But so far Emilia has not used her sharp side.

They still attack each other in that fight. The general used some sword techniques to fight Emilia. He has not used 1 skill.

“You underestimated me?” ask the general upset.

“Means?” ask Emilia.

“From now on you only used the blunt part of your sword to attack. Then I will use my skills to defeat you.”

The general's sword then glowed.

“This is the general's S rank sword skill called Sword Judgement. This skill made its users issue attacks within a very large area in a row. But take it easy, there are protectors that will protect us,” explained Charles.

The general attacked Emilia using that skill. Emilia looked at me and nodded her head hinting that she would use the sharp side of the masamune.

Emilia jumped over the first attack and attacked the general from above.

“You will not be able to avoid when attacking from the air,” said the general confidently.

He underestimated Emilia. Emilia quickly attacked the general before taking out her skill. Emilia's attack broke the general's sword.

When Emilia was about to launch a direct attack, the king stopped the fight. He knew that the general could no longer continue the fight.

Then he announced that Emilia was the winner. Some of the subordinates of the general did not accept it and attempted to attack Emilia. But I used Ignis to prevent them from approaching Emilia.

“Have stopped. This is your defeat,” said the king trying to stop the subordinates of the general.

After hearing those words, they laid down a weapon. The king told the general and his subordinates not to underestimate people anymore. Especially adventurers who had conquered dungeons.

It must have been Charles and Charlote who told the king that we had conquered dungeons. Charlote whispered to me that they only told the king about us conquering the dungeon.
