'Is it time, then?'
I saw that the sun had started to change its color slowly. Before long, came two people who were none other than Taka and Yogairu. The two of them are indeed no different from my home world, a unique pair of friends. A person who knows the situation with a person who blak – blakan.
“Aoi yes, you came early apparently.” Sapa Taka's.
“Iya, I want to heat myself first, therefore I leave early.” Reply while stretching my body.
“Good then! Let's just start!” Yogairu said with a spirit enveloping him.
The match practice began, Yogairu and I dueled one on one in this beautiful region. We took a fighting distance of approximately 10 meters. This match practice does not determine who will kneel before his enemy, in any case we wear leather armor and wooden swords.
“Hah? Why not use a real sword, besides I am not good at using a sword with excess weight and length.” Agitated Yogairu repeatedly observed his sword with an uneasy gaze.
“Basic, this is a stupid match train.” Said Taka with a joke.
Basically, I don't care if Yogairu uses his sword. Moreover, he was an Assassin who usually wore light and sharp weapons. But, I am grateful because now this is my superiority.
Taka explained to us the rules of this match practice, such as being divided into 3 rounds, and each round is calculated by the hourglass it carries. Then if he manages to strike the vital point cleanly or without any hindrance, he's the winner. The sword that slipped from his grasp was declared defeated.
“Hmm, I thought Role ‘Knight non - license’ Taka just to show off, because it's ‘non – license’. I misjudged it, it turned out that I really had experience as a Knight” Seloroh Mashiro who was next to me.
‘I don't understand what you're talking about.’ I muttered in my heart to talk to Mashiro.
“In this world there is a Role that is eligible to get an effect from it, when the Role is obtained without qualifying it, then the Role will appear ‘non – license’ thereafter. If it has that mark, the effect obtained is no more than half.” Mashiro.
Turns out the Role system in this world is not as simple as the MMORPG game. It's so complicated, it takes a long time to understand all this.
"Alright, I have to focus on this match."
......................
I wielded the sword as Mashiro taught me, with quite a short training I was not too sure of the result.
Followed by both hands, the sharp sword position was straight as the eye looked before a dragon mage, Yogairu Kineku. I was trembling a little, dueling with an opponent who was not comparable. But, I have to accept it, and measure how much potential I have in this world.
“Don't tremble like that, even though you've been able to profit from that sword.” Said Mashiro looking at my body gesture which she considered unprepared.
“One!” Shouted Taka starting to count down.
“Two!”
In the second count, Yogairu began to strengthen his horse, as well as taking a step footing followed by a sword in his right hand ready to attack me. I also followed him, tightening my sword grip.
“Three!” Shouted Taka ended his count while pointing his hand forward as a sign that the match practice began.
Simultaneously Yogairu slid before me and launched a single powerful slash after the count of three, he was so fast that I did not have time to blink.
*No!
The slash he gave, the button with the middle sword. After taking out one hard slash, Yogairu instantly kept his distance from me.
“Cih, don't be proud just yet.” Yogairu said with a face filled with killing intent.
'No, my first stalk before was luck.'
My mind was surprised because he was ready to attack in front of me. I haven't had time to do anything, just strengthen my horse.
Within enough distance to perform the attack, Yogairu started using his legs to turn me around. His movement speed was very fast, my eyes could not keep up with his movements. In between her moves, some attack trickery was pointing towards me. I just fell silent and strengthened my defense, there was nothing I could do with a position like this.
The longer it goes, the faster it moves. Some of the hoax attacks became actual attacks, ranging from slashing towards my body then right – left at the bottom in a row. I couldn't see his movements, every time I tried to avoid him it must have been another part that opened up to be his easy target. Just the pain I felt over and over again, right now I'm like a living straw doll to him.
There was no choice but to strengthen the horse and keep the vital point. I also began to strengthen my footing and my grasp, and waited for the gap from each attack. But when this was different, he no longer let out his consecutive attacks. When I tried to look at her, her gaze went to my chest.
After knowing which part he was going to aim for next, I tightened my shoulders to narrow the gap. And as I looked ahead, he slid swiftly before me for the second time. The attack this time was faster, he put away the sword I was holding firmly with the back of his left hand, as if getting rid of the fly in his face. After that my defense opened up and the sword in his right hand was ready to pierce my body.
When the tip of his sword almost hit my body, he stopped. With that I know, if this round is my defeat. Fortunately Yogairu was still holding back his attack, if only the attack hit me, it would definitely have a severe impact on my body.
“Hmm, no need to hold back your Skill, stupid.” Lirih Yogairu beside my ear, then went away.
“Do not be so serious as that stupid! this is just an ordinary match practice. ” Shouted Taka from a distance.
I leaned back to rest on the big tree trunk, I was sick of my weakness. Mashiro just kept quiet to see me.
“Sial, Shit, Shit! At least I should be able to attack him, until when I become his straw doll.” Mumamku annoyed.
“Basic, you haven't even used your skills already desperate.” Mashiro crossed her arms as if she was far away from me.
After hearing Mashiro's words, I realized that I had not used all my strength. I was sure that by using the Skill, my standing could be balanced, even surpassing it.
The second round began, before Taka started the count, I had already focused my focus on Yogairu. I also could not hear and see anything but my opponent, not even knowing that Taka had already started his fight.
In my view was just a vacuum that was just me and Yogairu, like the first round. He instantly slid forward and gave a powerful slash, yet this was different. Since the movements were the same and repeated, I was able to predict the slash with my skill.
I dodged, kept dodging and dodging. I don't know how long it will last, but this is the only way.
I don't care what he says, I'm just focused on the attack coming.
“Keren, Aoi started being able to use her brain.” Mumbled Taka who kept seeing us fighting.
Despite all the attacks he gave me, I avoided it. But I felt something hot in my body, like all the blood moving in and out of my heart was boiling. The longer I felt the sultry all over my body, my sweat pouring profusely, my vision began to blur, as well as the intense dizziness in my head.
“Why? Tired up? Though just run away like a kitten.” Yogairu said with a small smile.
'Shit!'
I just realized. This was his Skill, so this was the so-called dragon mage. I can't keep dodging, I have to find the gap of each slash and start attacking it.
“Feel the heat in you. Motherfucker!” His scream was followed by a wide swing.
'I see it, here it is! My chance!'
When Yogairu pulled out a slash with a wide swing towards the head. I lowered my head immediately before hitting my head, and the impact of the wide swing opened his defensive horse. I immediately got up and slashed the left side of his stomach by utilizing my body as a spring.
The attack hit his stomach, but it didn't seem to have the slightest impact on him. Yogairu is still excited and stands up unhindered.
*Plaque!
Taka clapped his hands, and stopped the match practice.
“What are you blind for? I can still go on, stupid!” Yells Yogairu as Taka stops the fight.
“Rules are the rules.” Reply Taka with a indifferent expression.
The current position is balanced, I am still in good condition, there is no fatal wound on my indicator, the Ergon I used before is still left. I'm sure I can win it in the last round.
Meanwhile. I saw Yogairu with breathless breath leaning against the stone, maybe he was exhausted from continuously issuing powerful attacks to me.
......................
Rest is over, Yogairu and I are getting ready to train for the last match, I was surprised, because I think he is still exhausted and has not had time to recover his strength. But, I was wrong. He was seen walking with a face full of ambition, preparing for his position with a horse that was ready to fight no matter what.
Taka raised his hand and turned the hourglass he was holding, suddenly Yogairu ran quickly towards me with the sword position under his right arm.
'Quick! I haven't been able to focus on him. Where's the slash? The left? Right? Ti – won't have time.'
I should just swing my sword hard to the side, because with a swing as wide and as close as that, I won't be able to dodge.
*No!
Yogairu's sword broke in two, I never expected something like that to happen. Restlessly I tried to remain calm and hold my sword tightly even though my whole body was shaking.
Yogairu's facial expression was slightly surprised as he continued to look at my sword, he seemed to not accept it with the wooden sword proposed by Taka.
*Plac, Plaque, Plaque
Taka approached us with an ongoing clap of hands, then saw my sword and Yogairu's broken sword.
“Already – already, it looks like you guys are balanced in this match train. Yogairu's sword is broken not because it is fragile, but two powerful attacks that meet with different ways of holding. You've heard of a large tree must have strong roots, as well as a sword.” Obviously Taka to calm the condition.
“Ma – means?” Ask me with the body still shaking.
“Yogairu slashes strongly with only one hand, whereas you use two hands. The two objects that were meeting each other strongly must have produced a violent clash, as Aoi held her sword with two hands, so the resulting impact can be reduced the impact a little more than the sword belonging to Yogairu who only with one hand.” Clearly Taka while demonstrating the two swords met each other.
After hearing the explanation from Taka, I calmed down a bit. Maybe because of the results of this sparring practice series. But as I looked towards Yogairu, it seemed like he still did not accept with the result.
“Ahaha, Alright – alright, Aoi skill ‘enhancement’ yours is reliable!” Yogairu said to me while smiling and clenching his hands.
I can't believe Yogairu received the results of the match practice by smiling excitedly, but how else. With this I believe more in myself.
“It looks exciting! Can I join?” The sound of an adult male came from behind a large tree.
When he heard the sound, Taka immediately pulled out the weapons in both hands as for the police-shaped Baton with the long side taper like a sword, which appeared out of nowhere.
He came out from behind a tree, he was the person I met when at the adventurer gathering place. With a burly body and a long sword curled in his right hand.
*sing!
I was shocked when Taka arrived before the mysterious man and gave two sharp slashes directly with the weapons in both hands.
The man managed to fend off one right side of his attack, but not the left slash that injured his chest. It looked like the wound was very deep and full of fresh blood pouring out from inside his body.
“Which you promised that day, even more where your leader!” Taka shouted at the man and his battle-ready posture with traces of blood dripping from his left hand.
Seriate…..
