The Seirei Gensouki Spirit Chronicles
Chapter 6: Life in the Village

“That's right, brother. Latifa just wanted to see her sister. He's learned so much more than us, so he deserves a break! Didn't we? ” Vera tried to chime in with her support, but suddenly ... With a noisy, flapping sound, a human-shaped figure descended from the sky.

“What's wrong? Looks like there's a commotion here .. ” That winged werebeast, Uzuma. She saw

around towards the gathered crowd and widened his eyes when he saw Ursula and Rio. He immediately knelt down in front of them.

“K-If not the Chief Elder and Rio-sama. Good day..”.

“Hum. It's been a long time,” Ursula nodded.

“H-Halo, Miss Uzuma.” Rio returned the greetings of the people spirit with a bit awkward. This makes Uzuma

looking at Rio with wide eyes.

“You've learned to speak folk tongues?”

“Y-Yes, at least it's on a fairly easy level. I'm .. I'm not used to it yet. I studied together ... I studied with Latifa,” Rio answered Uzuma's question rigidly.

“I'm surprised. And, well .. I'm sorry for what happened in the past. ”

“...Oh no. I'm still not familiar with your language, so please excuse me if I use the language

Strahl from here .. Regarding what happened, I have heard that you were punished by being put under house arrest. Please don't let yourself be bothered by further incidents. All forgiven.” At first, Rio was not so sure why he apologized, so he took his time

a moment to respond.

“Uzuma – long time no see. When is your house arrest over? ” Sara asks Uzuma,

follow chatting.

“For a long time no see, Miss Sara. It just ended this morning.”

“So so. Are you going back to work today? ”

“No, I am still resting from my soldier duties. The first thing I want to do after me

allowed out is apologizing to Rio-sama ..” Said Uzuma, his expression covered in guilt. Rio smiled tensely and shrugged his shoulders.

“Do not worry about it.”

“So you have nothing else to do today, Uzuma?” Feeling the awkward air

between Rio and Uzuma, Sara changed the subject.

“Yes, nothing special.”

“I understand ... In that case, do you want to fight? It's been a while, right? ”

“O-Oh, sure. I don't mind ..” Uzuma nodded slowly.

“Ooh! Uzuma and Sara are fighting ?! I want to see that! ”

“Do your best, brother!” Hearing the word “sparring” makes Arslan and Vera jump for joy.

“Who is stronger?” Latifa asked her two friends curiously.

“It must be Uzuma, of course.”

“My brother, definitely!” Arslan and Vera answered at the same time, but with different answers.

“No, no. Uzuma is the head of the warrior. Sara is strong, but she can't beat him yet. ”

“That's not true!”

“You are only biased against your family, Vera!”

“Grrr!” Arslan and Vera fought like a noisy spectator.

“But I think my Onii-chan is the strongest!” Latifa chimed in, could no longer bear to listen silently.

“Sorry to say this about Rio, but my brother is the strongest.”

“Uzuma is definitely stronger than others!” Vera and Arslan immediately dropped Latifa's statement, but Latifa also refused to back down.

“It's not true. Onii-chan defeated the entire half dragon by himself! ”

“All half dragon, you said ..”

“Impressive as always.” Uzuma and Ursula both muttered in admiration. Sara and Orphia also gave a respectful look at Rio's way.

“It wasn't something spectacular. I'm still in training too,” Rio replied with simplicity

the uncomfortable.

“Umm, Rio. What do you think about sparring with me once? I always see you swinging your own sword early in the morning and late at night, so I want to try to fight with you,” Sara humbly asked.

“Onii-chan, do your best!”

“You too, brother! This is the perfect opportunity to show everyone who

the strongest! ” Latifa and Vera cheered before Rio could even speak. Obviously, they have decided that Rio and Sara's match is made hard. Or rather, they just

it's good to have a reason to get out of learning more.

“Then, will we?” Rio was not brave enough to betray the pure hope of the two

young girl.

they return.

News of their match spread before they realized it. Shortly thereafter,

a small crowd had gathered, making their sparring sessions more like some sort of mini event. They pull the straws to decide who will fight together first – the result is Rio and Uzuma.

Once they decided to restrict spirit arts just by using body enhancement,

Rio took his long sword and stood across the square from Uzuma, who was gripping his short spear tightly. Sara will be their referee.

“Start!” The match finally started, and Uzuma stormed Rio as soon as the signal was given. Strengths

the thrust of his wings sent him a shot forward like an arrow. His incredible speed closed the gap in the blink of an eye, and he unleashed a sharp attack towards Rio as if to

tested it.

Rio saw through his movements easily, using the minimum movement to shift

his body and avoid it.

“Oooh!” the spectators cheered.

Meanwhile, Uzuma continued to launch an avalanche of stabbing attacks towards Rio, which fended off

they are efficient with their smooth movements. A shocked expression flashed across Uzuma's face, and she widened the distance between them. Then, he took a lower position and readied his spear, charging forward with his body raised to the ground to aim at Rio's chest from below.

 Rio received the attack straight away, but Uzuma tried to brutally force her spear through

his defense. As soon as Rio's body was lifted, he focused more power onto his arm and stepped forward firmly, flapping his wings to blast him completely into the air.

I saw that his crazy strength had not changed, Rio thought as he flew through the air, impressed by Uzuma's physical strength. Of course, Rio had strengthened his own body with spirit arts as well, but there was a huge difference in the basic forms of humans and werebeasts. The difference was further accentuated when their bodies were enhanced with spirit arts.

“Hah!” With a strong shout, Uzuma flew into the air and launched a follow-up attack against

Rio. He pointed Rio's limbs in the air, thrusting his spear four times in one breath with precision.

Rio twisted his arms and legs around his body to avoid it with a strand of hair.

Then, before Uzuma could pull her long spear, she grabbed the pole with her left hand and instead pulled it towards her. Rio swung his longsword horizontally, eyeing Uzuma's body. Uzuma immediately released the spear and flapped his wings upwards, placing himself

beyond the reach of Rio's sword.

With his left hand, Rio adjusted his grip on the spear and swung it towards

Uzuma was on top of it, but the tip of the spear was in vain cutting through empty space. It would be difficult to catch him in the air. The two landed back on the ground, keeping a distance of – until Uzuma attacked Rio once again. Rio casually threw the spear towards Uzuma.

“Kuh!” Uzuma's special weapon is voluntarily returned to him before he can steal it back,

slow down his reaction by a little. At the time he picked up by hastily catching the spear, Rio looked at the gap and advanced forward. Oh, how the table has changed.

Uzuma tried to retreat to regain her balance, but Rio approached so that she could not escape, now so close to him that she could not freely swing her spear. He meandered through his defensive gap sharply, slashing his sword.

“Guh ..” Uzuma was at an disadvantage, unnerved by the Factors working against him, he only barely managed to block Rio's attack, unleashing his own attack. If

Rio swung a real sword, he must have been covered in countless wounds.

escaping, now so close to him that he could not freely swing

his spear. He meandered through his defensive gap sharply, slashing his sword. Rio thrust out a momentary opening Uzuma with great force, swinging his sword at his strongest blow. The spear was blown away, causing Uzuma to stumble backwards from faltering. He jumped after the spear, catching it in the air.

“... I acknowledge that your abilities are worthy of being a warrior. Looks like I should take this seriously.” Uzuma's aura suddenly changed as she landed on the ground. A cold chill crept down Rio's back. It was like looking into the eyes of a starving animal.

In the next second, Uzuma had closed the distance between them and directed a loud push towards Rio's body. The suffocating pressure made Rio step to the side immediately. However, at the same time, he could feel a bad presence flanking him, so he stepped back next. Some

a moment later, Uzuma's spear passed through Rio's spot just now with a sound of air piercing through.

“Huh, definitely avoid that. Let's see if you can avoid this!” Uzuma said happily as she firmly stepped forward and swung her spear with all her might.

Very heavy!

Rio had tried to receive the attack with his sword, but he felt a difference in their physical strength, and had to jump back to negate the power of the spear.

“Isn't this too much for a sparring match?” Rio said with a wry smile, but he seemed to be having fun.

“You must forgive me! I've never met a worthy opponent like this in months

last!” Shouted Uzuma with a ferocious smile. It seemed as if Uzuma was a bit of a battle junkie .. The thought made the corner of Rio's mouth curl up faintly. He was definitely not the one to talk to.

It was nice to have a simple and straightforward fight like this sometimes, where no opponent thought too much about things. At the very least, Rio could feel himself becoming spirited by being able to compete with someone he could face with all his might.

Even so, while he did not lose his technical ability, as werebeasts, Uzuma was far in the lead

in terms of physical ability. At this rate, the fight would slowly become one-sided. He even has to play.

With that decision, Rio released a large amount of ode from within his body. Then, he condensed it, and poured everything into his physical improvement. In using physical enhancement through spirit arts, physical abilities are enhanced in proportion to the layers of ode that are veiled throughout the body, so if the underlying strength is lower than the werebeast, then the physical ability is enhanced, all he had to do was strengthen the enhancement of his spirit arts .. that was at least what Rio was thinking.

“Mm ... What's a solid ode.”

Ursula's eyes widened as she looked. Sara and Orphia, who were watching beside him, gulped.

The villagers who had gathered out of curiosity were in the same condition. The answer Rio put forward was simple, but not something anyone could do. Even if a large amount of ode could be released, controlling it was another matter entirely. Condensation of a large number of ode to envelop the body required considerable control; no wonder their audience was shocked.

Seriate....
