Become A Human In Another World
ACT 4: Chapter 3 - Assassin's Fight
It's been almost 3 weeks since Ren woke up. The club that Ren asked Suzu to make was also easily approved by Rice to make things work. Ren had also not come into contact at all with the Guild all this time, and he would keep his distance from them in this Kin Kingdom due to several things.
These two weeks, Ren had only practiced his sword, fought against Aina, and searched for some items to increase his defense.
Because, no matter how strong Ren is, he is only human. If he didn't have any defense, his thin HP would make him die easily
In addition, Ren searches for some rocks to recreate Zadkiel.
Ren still thought that he could not use magic at all, so he thought that all the items that were in his inventory that he had made with Magic had already disappeared.
As a result, he has managed to make 2 new Zadkiel, with hundreds of bullets ready to be reassembled.
Not only that, he remade the huge Zadkiel, making it like a sniper. I don't know what Ren thought of making a modern weapon in the world of Magic and Sword like this.
With the abundance of materials, he could recreate his Azantium sword.
Ren was really grateful with his [Transmutation] skill. Thanks to that, he could make any object he wanted easily.
And with things like potions, and a few supplies of food, make it ready to go anytime. But since he promised to leave 1 month after he woke up, he held back while preparing some things and continued to practice improving himself.
It was a hot day in the match hall of the Academy.
It had already been remade and became larger than before, and could accommodate more spectators than usual.
But since there was no event whatsoever, the hall was completely empty.
It was utilized by Ren's group to create his own training arena, and train with Aina's group and other children's children.
Utilizing Suzu's earth magic, they reconstructed the land of the hall, leaving it full of waves and uneven textures. It looked similar to the battlefield.
But something was different, as there was now an additional mist created by Edna, to disguise the view.
"Remember! Attack me like you want to kill me, or I will kill you! But don't let that desire make your feelings read by the enemy!" ren shouted in the middle of the foggy arena.
There was no answer, just silence in the room.
The barrier was already formed, to disguise the light, and Edna slightly added white light. It was the perfect artificial night.
"What about this place? Really good, isn't it?" edna said a little arrogantly and said to Suzu.
"Humm, right. What about uncle Kurls? I'm a little bit clueless about the Assassins' world." Suzu replied throwing a question at the seriously watching Kurls.
"Yahh honestly. It was the perfect arena for us Assassins," Kurls nodded softly.
"With the darkness of the night, and the many places to hide. In addition, the view is also very limited and white moonlight makes the fog more visible. This is really our fight." Kurls continued confidently.
Yep. This was a mock battle between Ren and disciple Kurls.
Kurls students are already more and more, probably numbering 20 and above. Unlike the beginning of the only women and children, there were also men, and even older ones than Ren.
But they are all now faced with the practice of killing with real circumstances, killing Ren.
They used swords and wooden knives, which were covered in color paint. If the color succeeds in hitting the opponent, then the opponent will be considered dead.
This has been routinely done once every 3 days, but this is the most real.
And of course, no one has been able to touch Ren.
"Hhhhh! I will definitely defeat that person and make Aina admire me!" I heard a soft whisper somewhere. That actually doesn't sound like anyone, because it's too slow.
"Stupid! No noise! He'll hear us!!"
"Oh, Jill is stupid. Just leave him alone. Besides, Aina. What plan are we gonna do?" now the voice of the woman is heard. It made the young man named Jill pout for a moment.
After that, silence lasted for a moment.
"I'm confused. Brother Ren really does not split. And he could also make excellent use of his long sword. Remember when Dion's attack was repelled using his sword hilt?!" now Aina's voice was heard speaking.
"Wait for what else? We attack from the front, and defeat him easily! We'll win!" jill said with passion.
"Humm is right. Getting Jill to be bait and beaten by him was a good thing." now another young man said as he closed his eyes, holding his long sword.
"What did you say?!!" Jill almost made more noise, but was soon restrained by the other members.
Some of them held back the laughter of hearing that, But they were well off doing that by not making much noise.
Eventually they followed the plan made by the Elf woman, and began to move. Ren smiled feeling that, and also prepared again.
"Hows it? Are you guys ready? Are you going to attack first? Or am I coming?" shouted Ren.
Silence, that was all Ren answered. But Ren was happy with that, so he could listen to the wind better. He was a human, his hearing was not very sharp if he did not use the skill.
?!!
A swish of wind rang out, making Ren aware of the knife toss.
("But that wasn't the attack, was it?") Ren is aware when a second knife is thrown using magic, so it does not make a sound or give any existence.
("Humm? That too is a diversion?") ren's heart asked when he realized the first blade had turned out to be linked to a thread.
Arriving, very many knives were thrown at Ren, which made him have to avoid it all with the smallest distance, and must carefully take everything into account so as not to be exposed to paint that made him considered dead.
SWOSHI!!
A swift movement arrived arriving, quickly from the direction of Ren's front, which was being surrounded by threads full of paint.
Jill with both blades in hand moved quickly in front, unsheathing her knife.
"You're sure of your speed, aren't you, Jill?" ren asked with a slight smile as he held the two Jill blades in the air. Jill who heard that smiled, then pressed down even more.
Then from the side, suddenly appeared Aina who tried to target Ren's neck.
Aina had been hidden under magic, making her existence disguised from Ren. But seeing how close he was now, it meant that this plan was very mature.
But Ren just floated quietly, taking advantage of the encouragement from Jill. He dodged the crucial first sword attack from Aina.
Jill was surprised, as her body suddenly floated up, with both blades still in her hands and underneath her was the figure of Ren who was very close to Aina's sword. He threw his knife to the right in a direction that Ren was unlikely to avoid, while smiling triumphantly.
But Ren also still smiled, and moved his sword around, making it a foothold to jump further.
"W-What?!!" yelled Jill did not accept.
"Why? Jill's? Don't just dumb and fight me!!" Ren started to provoke.
"Curtain! Fuck that!" Jill slightly clucked.
"But I'm not your opponent, you fool!!" yelled Jill while sticking out her tongue, scoffing.
Just then, the 3 Beast men came to greet Ren, with swords in each of his hands. Before long, Aina also helped in the battle, making Ren have to be more careful.
Not only that, the throwing of the knife with the thread also did not stop.
("That's right. I don't know how long they've been training to be able to do this, but they're amazing!!") Ren was delighted.
But Ren also soon realizes, that their attacks are using too few people. He was obviously already on guard to face many people at once, but if only 4 Beasts were to attack him, it was a bit strange.
("What is it because others attach more importance to silent long-range attacks?") thought Ren.
Aina and the others' attacks were extremely fast. Initially, Ren was a bit overwhelmed with that. But after exchanging movements for a while, Ren instantly mastered and could move with movements as minimal as possible.
But after that, Aina and the other three Beasts suddenly retreated. Ren was confused, so just stayed in place.
Ren already knew, that the knife and thread thrown from earlier had a pattern. But he was confused what they would do now, with that pattern pattern. Will they trap Ren with that thread, or fight forward.
Arriving, the fog became thicker, even seeing within a few meters was unclear.
But Ren knew, that it also affected them. And sure enough, this was part of the royal plan to frame Ren.
?!
Ren sensed both concurrent presences on his right and left, which moved quickly. It could not be seen by Ren, because the true fog was really thick.
But when all the attacks came, Ren immediately twisted his tilting body while twisting his body.
That's when Ren realized~
("The two attacks were just a hoax for this one, huh?")
