(I'm coming.)
“He really came..”
The next day after I got the master named Usagi-san, he came to my house as if it was natural. Moreover, he even came to my garden.
As of now, no monster has ever tried to break into the sage-san house, but Usagi-san has no trouble entering? Or did he just enter because he had no enmity towards us?
"Guk-guk!"
“Buhi.”
There were many things that I did not understand, but Night seemed excited about Master Usagi, who was coming, and Akatsuki looked pale as if she was about to vomit. Akatsuki-san. You don't have to feel uncomfortable…
As I silenced Akatsuki, Mr. Usagi looked around the house and garden of sage-san curiously.
(This place.... What is it…? It used more magic than that Magic Saint...?).
“Eh?”
“...Well, whatever. Today's…"
“U-um!”
(Hmm?)
I don't want to call him when training starts again.
“Um... Why did you teach us about kicking? Can you tell me about that? ”
I didn't understand it, so I decided to ask him honestly. Then Master Usagi gave a completely different answer than I expected.
(That's because I chose you as my successor.)
“Your replacement? And I was chosen?”
Eh? I didn't even know that I was considered a successor, you know? Well, he just made me his student all of a sudden, so it's a little late for that, isn't it?
(Really. We who bear the name “Suci” are obliged to take care of their successors. That's why I chose you, who just happened to be in this dangerous forest, as the successor to it.)
"Holy? And the obligation to raise a successor.. further confused me..”.
"Woof."
“Fugo.”
Both Night and Akatsuki tilted their heads, not quite understanding what Teacher Usagi meant. Then Master Usagi showed a dumbfounded look.
(You guys... you really don't know about “Holy” ?)
“Y-ya.”
"Woof."
“Buhi.”
(Serious... people usually refer to animals that use the word “Holy” as “Holybeast” to respect... Then, of course, you do not know about “Evil”, right?)
"J-evil?"
(All right now.)
Master Usagi sighed and began to speak with a serious expression.
(There are some people in the world who hold the title “Holy” like me. That is the title that the planet gives to those who have mastered its field.)
"A title awarded by ... this planet?"
Isn't a title something the world gives to you by itself? A new question came to my mind, but now that I heard about "Holy" I secretly encouraged her to continue.
(Then why did this planet give the title “Holy” ? Think of it as a process of self-purification of the planet.)
“Purity?”
(Yes. Against "Evil" . "This "evil" is an existence in which the negative side of beings in this world crystallizes and becomes alive.)
"Negative side?"
What a fantasy and conceptual story, I can't follow the story at all. I started to get a headache from a story that was unthinkable on this Earth.
( "Evil" means negative crystallization of us. That's why it's just dangerous for us. To protect other living beings from such "Evil" there are beings who bear the name "Holy" .)
“Ooh..”.
So does that mean Master Usagi is a hero of justice? I don't have a better analogy for that, so it's hard to say.
(But for now, do you understand who I am?)
“A-somewhat.... except that you want me to be your successor, but is that something I can't refuse?”
(You can always refuse.)
“Oh, I can, yes?”
I thought it was something that can't be vetoed, so I was a little disappointed. No, I'm grateful. I don't even know what it means, and even if I'm just given responsibility, I can't do anything about it.
(As you can see from the storyline, once you get the title "Holy" (You will be required to fight "Evil" . It will be a very tough battle. And if you challenge such a battle with half-hearted abilities and feelings, you will soon die, which is obvious. I've chosen you as my future successor because you have pent-up abilities that even I can't see the basics of. You will be able to reject "Evil" ..)
“So... So, when does someone receive the title “Holy” ? Is there anything good that comes with it other than the obligation to fight an opponent who has the title “Evil” ?”
(I don't know if it's a good thing or not, but only when against ““Evil””, our “Holy” status will be doubled or more. Also, this is a bit bad, but those with the “Holy title are at the top of their craft. And since the world has decided that this power should be used in the battle against "Evil" , that means if we fight against creatures other than "Evil" , ' he said" , we usually fight with our status reduced by half. Well, even so, most of the enemies won't be a match for us.)
"Wool…"
“Buhi.”
Master Usagi actually told me the difference in status, and I froze in shock.
Uh, so... The status that I saw with my [Identification] skill was in a halved state? Yet he killed [Mithril Boar] under such circumstances? This is exactly what is meant by astounding; inevitably I am dumbfounded by the extraordinary character of Master Usagi.
(Well... I've spoken at length, but I'm not forcing you to take over the title "Holy" . Even so, the more I train you, the stronger you are, and the less unnecessary blood is shed. There is also the hope that you might be able to take care of things that we 'Saints' cannot reach.)
I still don't know what kind of opponent with the title "Evil" and what kind of ability they have, but if Master Usagi is right, those with the title "Holy" will fight against "Evil" together, well, even if some sort of "Evil" ability affects those around me, even if I don't inherit the title "Holy" , I will still help those around me with my strength.
"So what are you going to do? Will you inherit this "Sage ?"
"Well .. I'll graduate."
I cannot take over a position with such great responsibility, no matter how hard I try. Moreover, since I am from Earth, if by chance I cannot come to this world, there will be less strength to fight, so I cannot even see it.
“Fuh. Well, that doesn't change the fact that I'm going to give you a workout.”
"Um... But why me?"
(I told you so. With your high potential, the rest is to your liking.)
(Huh .. although I said I was okay with that. You are a stupid and honest man.)
Hearing my words, Mr. Usagi sighed in amazement and looked around the house lightly as she did when she visited my house.
(..Good.)
"What?"
(If you don't want me to teach you something for free, then you should also teach me Magic.)
“Eh!”
Once again, as I froze at the unexpected request, Master Usagi continued.
(I was surprised when I came here, I had never seen such a ridiculous barrier before. This time, I had no hostile or dangerous intentions, so I entered it as is, but, I would be thrown out of the barrier in an instant, and no matter how much I attacked, I would not be able to scratch it. making an incredible barrier. It would be a "Evil" class monster, but ... I can't even feel the "Evil" sign from you, and I know you don't.)
As I thought, sage-san is amazing! Although the title "Holy" usually had half the status or was at the top of their path, Master Usagi, who held the two of them, was greatly shocked. That must be an amazing achievement.
(Of course, there is also “Magic Saint” which is the pinnacle of magic, but, until I examined you, I thought it was him who stood at the pinnacle of magic. I'm kind of surprised that you have remained unknown until now ..)
It's because I'm from a different world. I usually live on Earth.
( Anyway, enough details. If you don't want to be taught by me unilaterally, then you can teach me this super magic. That way, we can teach each other, so everything will be fine.)
"Um... To begin with, can Mr. Usagi use magic?"
(I think I saw the skill, but I can't use it at all!)
"Even though you are so strong ..."
It seemed that he had very good ears and legs, but he was very bad at comprehending and activating magic. More importantly, can I teach him? I happened to come across a book that looked like a sage-san diary. I only inherited the magic circuit and magic theory from him. That's why I'm not in a position to teach others with pride.
…Even so, Master Usagi's kick is very interesting. Just yesterday, I met [Mithril Boar] in the depths of the Great Devil's Nest, and it seems like I can't stand it. The more ways to fight them, even a little, the better.
I nodded and offered my hand to Teacher Usagi.
“Then... I don't know how far I can teach you, but I will do my best.”
(Your.)
Meanwhile, I myself do not understand the theory of magic, but I can teach it, so it will not be as severe as I thought.
(Although that's the case..it's strange to be a master as well as a student of mine, isn't it?)
“P-certain.”
I didn't really realize it, but it seems that I became the disciple and master of Master Usagi, the saint beast.
(Well, this is how we become teachers and students of each other. I don't have a name, but tell me your name.)
“Oh, I'm Yuuya. And this is Night and Akatsuki.”
"Feed."
“Fugo.”
Night and Akatsuki deftly raised their front legs to greet him, and Usagi-san nodded. Then Master Usagi and I lightly told each other what we could teach each other. Then we hunted monsters to practice kicks and magic with each other.
.....................................................................
(───Can't you think of something more interesting to say?)
Before Yuuya and Usagi meet.
Usagi had stepped into the Great Devil's Nest, a place she normally wouldn't approach. Although it didn't matter to Usagi's abilities, there were still many powerful monsters in this Great Demon Nest, so she didn't visit this Great Demon Nest often.
However, today, for some reason, Usagi came to this Great Demon Nest.
(...I want to know what's going on here. Normally I wouldn't even approach a place like this because it was so troublesome, but.).
As expected of an existence who bore the title "Holy", he proceeded to the depths of the Great Demon Nest without hesitation. Then, Usagi's special ear did indeed catch a faint sound.
(Hmm? Territory wars?)
Usagi could not understand what was going on until she could figure out what was being contested, but with a hint of interest, she pointed her feet towards the voice.
Later then…
(Mm? Man?!)
The sight of Mithril Boar, who was one of the strongest in the middle level of this Great Demon Nest and a fighting human──Yuuya, leaped into his eyes.
(...No, to call it a battle, Mithril Boar has not been broken, but.).
As Usagi said, Yuuya's attack was not very effective against Mithril Boar. Mithril Boar's body was encased in a rare [Mithril] that displayed unparalleled strength against magic attacks and even had a high resistance to physical attacks. It would be difficult for an ordinary human to even inflict a single wound.
And moreover, the troublesome thing about the Mithril Boar was its incredible defensive power, as well as its rush attack that destroyed its massive body with incredible speed. Normally, if an ordinary human were to receive the attack, it would turn into a piece of meat in an instant…
(What!?!)
Yuuya was indeed blown away by Mithril Boar's attack, but he survived without causing his body to shatter into pieces. He could not hide his shock at that fact, and even more so at the strength of Night, who was fighting Yuuya.
Usagi, who once again observed Yuuya carefully, let out a cold sweat inside.
(...The human being is the most unread. No, I mean the least visible.).
As for Night and Akatsuki, Usagi was able to predict strength to some extent. However, it is only a prediction, so it could change significantly with future growth. However, for Yuuya, even Usagi, who bears the title “Holy” , could not see the limits of her growth.
(I didn't expect other than us “Holy” holders, there are creatures with this much potential.).
What Usagi felt towards Yuuya was fear and excitement.
(What if I train that guy?)
Usagi has two titles, "Holy Ears" and "Sacred Kicks" and when it comes to "Ears" it cannot be taught to humans. But when it comes to kicking, which he prides himself on being the best in the world, it's a different story.
If possible, he wanted to elevate her as the successor of the "Holy Kick", but more than that, he wanted to give his skills to Yuuya, whose potential abilities were invisible.
However, due to Usagi's position, she couldn't teach the technique easily. That was because there might be people who would abuse those skills. That is why the existence chosen to be the successor of someone who bears “Holy” is required to have a certain level of integrity.
When he recalled the troublesome “Holy” ban , Yuuya and the others seemed to feel that they were not good enough and tried to escape from Mithril Boar.
However, Mithril Boar would not be easy to ignore and continue his attack. And in Yuuya's decision to fight Mithril Boar alone, and his willingness to sacrifice himself to protect his friends, Usagi finds the last part of his success.
Initially, he had no intention of leaving her to die, but fortunately, Usagi decided to save Yuuya and the others as soon as possible.
So, Usagi got a disciple named Yuuya, but at this moment Usagi did not know that when she saw the barrier placed in Yuuya's house, she experienced a magic talent that surpassed even "Magic Saints" and belong to Yuuya. apprentice, a strange relationship between master and apprentice.
