“TRANSLATOR: Anargya”
“EDITOR: GhostApe”
「I have nothing to teach you anymore. You mastered it fully.」
Said Ariante with dignity like a master.
Looking back, it feels like only a blink of time. When he first came here, I thought he was just a stupid brat that only had guts——
「What full mastery! Isn’t it just going to be the real thing from now on!」
He has no talent at all.
The one who is barking loudly in front of me in Raiotto, who has completed the full course for beginners of Ariante Dojo.
The training period is not that long.
But still, if you even have a little talent, you will be able to grow into a warrior after many near-death experiences.
But still.
「Look at this! Even though I trained in magic to the point of death, it’s still like this!」
Raiotto snarled with his vein showing up on his temple, looking at the crackling and sparking coming out from his fingertips.
The spark is smaller than someone using a flint. To be clear, it’s just some garbage ignition magic. But, his shoulder is going up and down heavily even though he only used it once.
「It’s a big deal if someone without the qualities of a mage can use magic even just a bit. Now, give up, go home and spend the rest of your life there.」
「Who’s going back to their parent’s house!」
Ariante sighed.
Of course, he didn’t really master anything. This is just a countermeasure in response to the fact that Rēko’s power has reached the ridiculous area.
If Rēko somehow went out of control next time, this world will surely end.
In this case, this reckless stupid brat cannot come in contact with Rēvenida by any chance. I’ve been reminding him from a while ago that he is talentless and that he should give up.
——But it’s useless since he’s so persistent.
It’s a fact that he has no talent. Among all the apprentices that visited Ariante to be her pupil, he is by far the worst. If he perhaps spends his entire life training, he should be able to hunt one low ranking monster at best.
「Fine. If you don’t want to give up, then I won’t stop you. But I’ll tell you this just in case, no matter how much you train in the future, you will never reach Rēvendia.」
It’s a lie.
If he went right now, he could kill that harmless lizard easily. Needless to say, a terrible situation awaits after that.
The strength of “Rēvendia” that Ariante’s talking about, to be exact, is actually Rēko’s strength.
「That strength is beyond the realm of human training. Even if you borrow a spirit’s power and a lot of powerful magic tools, it would just like some water to a heated stone.」
「…from the city folks, I heard that Master has a secret technique. Is it still useless even with that?」
「The secret technique is not that big of a deal. “A big skill for when the time has come”, I don’t trust the practical use of some skill like that. It’s just an extension of the basic skill that I usually use. 」
「The usual skill?」
Ariante picks up a big sword hanging on the wall of the dojo. It’s her favorite one to use for hitting disciples——It’s a sword that deal no damage and is used for training(torture).
Maybe because of a trauma, Raiotto stepped back with tremendous force with just the handle being grasped.
「What. I didn’t pick it up to particularly hit you. With this guy, use it to hit your own head.」
「…ha?」
「It’s okay if you don’t want to do it. But I don’t think you can master the skill if you didn’t do it.」
「Di-Didn’t I decide to do it already! If it’s for the secret technique then!」
Raiotto grabbed the big sword I offered with his hand and swung it down to his head with the blade.
「Guua! It hurts…this isn’t like the usual pain. What’s the difference?」
Raiotto collapsed with a scream.
Normally, one would just felt the impact spreading for a bit, and it shouldn’t actually hurt——
「Eh, what? Why is there blood?」
Right now, a line of blood is flowing from Raiotto’s forehead. It may be just a minor injury, but that still means some damage is dealt. Even though this sword isn’t completely blunt, it has a mechanism that can absorb shocks, and this sword is originally only able to cause some small scratches.
「Extending the technique of ” you won’t get hurt no matter how hard you get hit” with that sword, that is the culmination of my skill. Well if you understand go try it.」
「In the end, you will just teach me again didn’t you…」
「Moron. There is a worth in understanding it yourself. It may not be as good as Rēvendia, but it’s still a great skill if you master it.」
Raiotto seems to be accustomed to shedding blood already, he immediately wiped the blood from his forehead with a cloth that he took from his pocket.
I failed to make him give up. Then, there is no other choice other than to buy time in the form of training like before. If I deliberately give him expectation of the secret technique with a roundabout explanation, he should stay in this city for a while.
Leaving Raiotto in the dojo, whose eyes began to fill with enthusiasm for the new goal, Ariante went to the back and began packing.
She is going to the Hunt God’s cave and meet Rēvendia.
Because she also wanted information on the Demon King Army, she planned to make Doradora accompany her. Of course to make sure that no problem occurs(mainly with Rēko), she will try to minimize their contact as much as possible.
「Iyaa~! I’m looking forward to it! It feels like it’s been a while since I met Lizard-san.」
Some water poured from the faucet of the stream.
The body of the Saintess of Seiren formed from the gathered water.
Since Seiren’s water was drawn all the way to Peryudōna, if she had some free time, she would come to Ariante to talk like this.
「…Saintess-sama. You are not invited right?」
「What are you talking about! I was originally a demon, and was invited by the Demon King Army before, so I am an indispensable resource for future strategy meetings! I will also bring a lot of vegetables as souvenir.」
「Well that’s fine, but be sure to take good vegetables instead of vegetable scraps. It will be over if you touch the reverse scale of the kin girl.」
By the way, I haven’t told the Saintess that Rēko magic power has increased 343.2 times.
If I told her the shock alone may have killed her. That’s why I really want to leave her behind, but she is too eager to go with me.
Of course, I don’t expect to hear any new information or any useful suggestions from this Saintess.
「Come to think of it, Ariante-san.」
「What is it?」
While packing, I replied back. The Saintess then continued her small talk.
「I remembered something about Lizard-san, do you know about an animal called Taizan Katari Lizard?」
