111. Training (4)
After finishing our business, we went to Ansync as planned. Ansync was found in an alley in front of a house, drunk and sitting on top of a dumpster.
“Uh, you’re here in Warsaw… Hiccup… And… “
Ansink’s eyes widen when he discovers Nishia and Sotia. Then Ann Sink took a deep breath and got up from his seat. He seems to have been drunk just now, but his flushed face calms down after he takes a deep breath.
I don’t know how he did it, but he got sober in just one moment.
“Yes. Woros It’s a weekday, what’s going on? No, before that, Lady Sotia also came. And next to it… “
“Nishia von Orisha. Senior Warros is the junior he treasures the most.”
“That, yes, nice to meet you. I’m Ansync Cavan. Woros’ master of spearmanship. By the way, this way to Woros”
At Ansync’s gesture, I followed him. Putting his face in the corner, Ann Sink whispers to me.
“By the way, how many women are there around you?”
“Yes? I don’t have a few. From the number of people Master has seen so far… Is it about adding one senior?”
“Um… I knew you weren’t an ordinary guy, but you’re amazing at heart.”
After talking that far, Ansync stands in front of the juniors with a big smile. I followed him and stood in front of my juniors.
“By the way, Woros, what did you come for?”
“Actually.”
I told Ansync about the Melgard Tournament. At first, Ansync listened intently, but when I told her that I was going to be matched with Melgard’s second-in-command, her expression suddenly changed.
“So, would you like to attend training on weekdays as well?”
“Yes. Please.”
“What… If that’s the case, I can’t help but look at it. Then go to the place where you always practiced first. I’ll follow you in about 10 minutes.”
“Yes. All right.”
According to Ansink’s words, we moved to the clearing where we always practiced. Nishia was sitting in the shade of a tree, taking out an absorption stone and adjusting it, while Sotia and I were warming up. Around the time I was finishing my warm-up, Ansync arrived.
I couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder when I saw Ansync’s outfit. Ansink, who has the appearance of a short man with a big belly, was always wearing dirty white running shorts and slippers when he watched my practice. But today is different.
A spear and a polearm on the back. Sword and shield. Even bows and arrows are hanging from it, and long swords and daggers are hanging from the waist. He was dressed in black leather and wore wrist guards. It’s like going on an expedition somewhere.
“Master?”
“Woros. It came just fine. There is a place you must go with me. Did you say you want to be strong? I will never lose.”
“Yes. This is what I was hoping for. But… “
I glanced at Sotia and Nishia, who had followed me. Ann Sink then trudged off and stood in front of his juniors.
“Sorry, but can I take Woros with me?”
“Okay.”
“Looks like something happened. Then I will.”
Sotia and Nishia said nothing, affirming Ansink’s words. It feels like the juniors who know that this is for me have taken a step forward.
“Thank you. Then Woros. Let’s go.”
“Yes. Please wait for a moment.”
After saying that to Ansink, I approached Nishia and Sotia, who were looking sad, and opened their mouths.
“I’m sorry. When the exam is over, let’s all go play together.”
“You don’t have to be sorry. That’s because it’s for the seniors.”
“My thoughts are the same. You don’t have to feel sorry for us.”
That was Nisia and Sotia’s answer. After nodding to them, I followed Ansync. Then, Ansync looked at me and smiled.
“As expected. You are so trusted by your juniors. I think it’s great.”
“Thank you for the compliment. Where are we going anyway?”
“Actually, there is something I didn’t want to teach you because I thought it was still too early for Woros. Once the basics are mastered as a spearman, that’s the skill he was trying to pass on.”
Ansync, who was walking ahead while saying that. Suddenly stand still
“Woros. I don’t think it was, but I watched you closely.”
“I know.”
“Is that so? Anyway, just to the point. You have talent He didn’t have a very strong body, but he had a good posture. You know how to use your body It must be because he was trained by the Blood family.”
He nodded at Ann Sink’s words. Being a former judo player and a homicide detective, he only knew a little how to use his body. Of course, I couldn’t confess that part to Ansink.
“However, I found a puzzled part. It’s hard to say that I have the basic skills as a spear warrior, but I can see my talent as a warrior. If you handle a lot of weapons like that, your skills will increase. That is your condition.”
“I understand. In what part did you feel puzzled?”
“Yes. Woros You never used an aura, did you? Any special reason?”
Come on. It refers to a skill in which warriors and wizards who use weapons entwine magic into their weapons. In the case of a character with an offensive unique skill, the effect of the skill may be buried in magic. Once, when Irina inserted the dagger containing the aura into her stomach, she almost died because of the effect of her unique skill, .
To become strong as a warrior, the use of aura is indispensable. It wouldn’t matter if he had overwhelming strength like Melgard’s 3rd year chief Balandis, but it was a skill he had to learn to make up for his lack of offensive and defensive power. But in my case, I can’t use aura.
I tried several times, but I couldn’t wrap the magic into the weapon. Even if the mana is somehow wound up, it will soon be released. Therefore, the method chosen was to draw an alchemy circuit on Zakat’s window and apply the effect of the potion.
“You say you’re going to stick with Melgard’s second-in-command? In addition, your opponent said that he puts ice magic on his spear.”
“That’s right.”
“If you can’t handle the aura, you won’t be able to win. In addition, if you think about your physical abilities, you will be blocked by a wall at some point without an Aura. There are not one or two warriors who stand on the level of a strong man without dealing with an aura, but at least you are not that type.”
“…… “
The gaze naturally descends to the floor. Regarding the absence of Aura, I also felt serious.
“Don’t make that face. Woros. Let me tell you one thing. You are just like me.”
“Yes?”
“I didn’t know how to handle Auras either, so I stayed in the bottom ranks at the beginning of the semester. As a result of research after study, I succeeded in developing my own aura. I call that skill system an ansync combat technique. I intend to pass it on.”
A Melguard style combat technique that I have seen many times before. Melguard style defense technique. Techniques such as blood type assassination all start with dealing with appropriate auras for each skill. Among the people I know, the ability to handle auras is the best, and in the case of Lerisha, she shoots an aura wrapped around her sword and slashes.
If you can’t deal with auras, you will have difficulties learning the already defined fighting techniques. That’s because, as I said, most of the already established combat skills are taught under the assumption that you know how to deal with Auras appropriate to that lineage. That’s why i’m worried Can I, who can’t handle Auras, learn Ansync’s combat skills?
“Don’t worry too much. Because I know why you can’t handle auras, and I know how to fix them. First, I plan to show you my combat skills.”
I know a lot about the ansync combat technique. This is because it is a technique used by Ruby, the adoptive daughter of Ansync. Even if Rin and Len become Ansync’s apprentices, even if they learn the techniques, they won’t be able to pass on Ansync’s auras, so the main character will never use them.
“Your and mine’s mana waves are pretty similar. It was also the reason I couldn’t deal with normal auras. I’ve been keeping the possibility of learning my combat art open since I first saw you pouring alchemical magic into your spear. Ruler. Arrived.”
“This is… “
“It is a bar. But it’s not normal. The drinks and food are amazing, but there is an even better menu.”
Ansync says that and opens the store with a smile. Upon entering the store following Ansink, the impression is wrinkled by the overwhelming smell of cigarettes. The seats in the spacious bar are tightly packed, making it complicated, and you can see a lot of people smoking pipes. Cigarette smoke burns your eyes.
As Ansink walks around the bar, a bald giant talks to Ansink.
“Isn’t it Nsync? Judging by the outfit, it looks like it came for that job.”
“Yes. Are there many pitiful adventurers who don’t know the world?”
“They are very crowded. It’s because it’s not uncommon to see someone pretending to be something and walking around frowning.”
“I see. This is my disciple I brought you here to show you the skills to pass on to your pupils.”
“Disciple? Your?”
At Ansync’s words, the bald man narrowed his eyes and looked at me. I bowed my head and said hello to him.
“You’re taking a disciple who seems weak for you, Ansync.”
“Don’t talk like that. Even if he looked like that, he was a member of the Blood family. Besides, he is the official successor.”
“What? A kid like this?”
“That’s it. Then make room for me.”
“Okay.”
The bald man takes the lead to show us to our seats. After following him, Ansync opens his mouth.
“This place, you can fight for money. It was because there were a lot of adventurers who went out a little and stayed in District 2 to board. From their point of view, it’s the mindset of earning pocket money while waiting.”
“Is your partner an adventurer?”
“Yes. It’s pretty cool to make money by beating up adventurers who think they’re good enough and want to earn a share.”
Ansync said that and laughed heartily. So we sat down at the table provided by the bald man and ordered food. Of course, Ansync ordered a drink. He ordered orange juice for me. Ansink then says:
“There is nothing like orange juice for a child.”
