14 – Last part of Shrine (2) modified.
To explain this situation now, we need to go back a few tens of minutes.
I avoided Sherry’s gaze and entered her personal training room.
Then, Mirole looks around as if she is curious.
-What kind of training do you usually do?
“Hmm, do you see the crystal ball over there?”
-Yes. I can see it.
“Use the crystal ball over there to fight against the monster made of illusions.”
-Huh. Not bad. It’s an item that Makarov made for training in the first place.
The Makarov she mentioned refers to the first sage.
Well, most of the items are all made by him, so it’s only natural that Miroel knows about them.
Makarov is also one of the first 5 heroes, just like Miroel.
-Then, shall we take a look at your disciple’s skills?
I nodded and operated the crystal ball.
The next moment.
-Kiririk!
A lower difficulty, Skeleton Knight, appeared.
He runs at me.
Even though, in my mind’s eye, the guy’s movements seemed slow.
But, is it because he has grown up?
‘You look a lot slower than usual.’
Effortlessly injected magic into the palace of the beginning.
Then, a bow made of blue magic appeared.
‘Definitely different.’
Unlike the usual bows made with magical power, it has a distinct shape.
In addition, the production speed is faster than before.
After I made the arrow like that.
-Kigigigiggeek!
I took aim at the guy who was running towards me.
Soon, let go of the bowstring.
-Fu-wook!
Before he could even react, the magic arrow shattered his head.
I stuck out my tongue at the sight unfolding before my eyes.
‘The power changes so much with one item.’
Until now, no matter how strong it was, it was all about getting stuck in the forehead.
But, what about now?
Didn’t the Skeleton Knight’s head get smashed with just one shot?
‘I didn’t even use a little magic.’
While I was surprised by the feeling I had grown.
-You definitely have excellent technique.
Miroel next to me smiles kindly.
She feels better for no reason because she, the hero of the beginning, no one else, acknowledges her.
But at that moment.
-However, I am still unable to demonstrate my strength.
She immediately switched her stance.
Miroel continues with a serious tone.
-Your pupil is blind, but he is good at shooting.
“Is that so?”
-Yes. There is a common misunderstanding, but it is more difficult for a close person to guess than a distant person.
“Yes?”
When I tilt her head in disbelief, she answers her question with a serious voice.
-Usually, in the case of sniping from a distance, most of the time the opponent is unaware that they are being sniped. Isn’t it?
“Yes.”
From noble mtl dot com.
-So, as long as you don’t make a mistake, you won’t miss a target that is still. However, a close opponent is a different story. Aren’t there cases where they just stand still like an idiot?
“Yes. Yes.”
-That’s why it’s more difficult to hit close enemies. You have to predict how they will move, and even if you know that, the pressure of an enemy coming makes you restless. However, in the case of the disciple, he responded calmly. It was also aimed precisely at the forehead, not anywhere else.
When she suppresses the corner of her mouth that rises to her praise as much as possible, Miro El folds her arms and sighs somewhat regretfully.
-Haa, it would have been even better if the eyes were good. Anyway, I don’t think her marksmanship is going to go unnoticed. All I have to do is tell you how to use it. Would you like to make an arrow?
I nodded my head and blew the magical energy in my body into the circuit.
– Hwaaak.
Blue magic radiating from the body.
I made a shape out of the shimmering magic.
The next moment.
-Ugh,
An arrow made of magic was created.
Looking at my arrow like that, he points out the problem.
-Hmm, this is also a problem for you, disciple.
“Yes?”
-Why do you think you can make arrows so quickly?
“Oh, that’s because you have to fight back before you get attacked…”
I scratched her cheek as I slurred her words, and she nodded her head with a convinced look on her face.
– You can definitely do that. However, such an halfway counterattack is worse than not doing it.
Hmm, that’s definitely not wrong.
It worked for the janbari kids so far.
However, Dale, who fought last time, hadn’t had a single attack work.
In fact, effective strikes were not successful through sniping.
-First of all, in the case of a disciple, you must have a habit of making arrows as perfect as possible. If not, growth will soon stop.
“Nope. All right. Then, shall we try it now?”
-Yes. Do it once… Huh?
At that moment, Miroel’s eyes widened.
-No, what… How did you do it so fast?
Miroel’s eyes wide open as he sees my magical arrows.
Well, it’s not unreasonable to be surprised.
Didn’t they produce arrows of superior quality at the same speed as before?
-Keuheum. The power management is quite good.
“Mmm. Is that so?”
-Yes. I didn’t expect to improve the quality of arrows so quickly. Even a genius usually takes a week.
She muttered as she pouted her mouth.
Anyway, it seems that it took me about a week.
Well, it’s because I can see magical power because of the trait of mind’s eye.
-Anyway, this should be enough to teach you how to breathe.
“How to breathe?”
-Yes. Disciple, you usually use the magic in your body when you make arrows, right?
I nodded.
Then, as expected, she raises her nose.
-If you learn how to breathe from me, you don’t have to use up the mana in your body to make arrows. And if you learn it perfectly, the disciple will become almost twice as strong.
“Huh?! Really?”
– I’m sure.
I was dumbfounded by the unexpected words.
Because I didn’t know that there would be an opportunity to grow like this all at once.
As I am stunned, she looks at me and opens her mouth.
-First of all, disciple, breathe in as much as you can and try to feel the magical energy floating in the air.
“Okay.”
Actually, I don’t know how to feel.
But, is it because of the characteristics of a shrine?
I started to feel the magic that I hadn’t felt before little by little.
While I absorb magic with my nose, she continues to explain.
-If you feel it, you can make it your own. Even this alone is half the success.
Hearing that, I made the control of the magical energy floating in the atmosphere mine.
At the same time.
‘Is that so?’
I understood at once why she said she became nearly twice as strong after seeing me.
I transformed the magic I just created with mine.
The next moment.
-Hmm?!
Looking at me like that, Mirole is startled.
However, she was so focused on her that she couldn’t keep her eyes on her.
I changed the mana that was slowly forming into an arrow.
‘This is not the end.’
I’m not saying that this alone makes you nearly twice as strong.
There is only one reason she said that.
– Hwaaak!
I said that because I can use the magical power in my body to strengthen my body.
She smiles in satisfaction at my actions.
-You are quick-witted. You fully understood my intentions before I even explained it. Then let’s try it out.
I nodded and raised the difficulty level to Intermediate this time.
-Kuwehehehehe!
In an instant, a high orc appeared.
A high orc who runs at me as soon as he sees me.
I remembered the sensation from earlier and made an arrow with the magic floating in the atmosphere.
– Hwaaak!
I strengthened my body with the magical energy in my whole body.
Then, completely different from before, my strength overflowed.
‘Thanks to the new palace, I realized it at once.’
If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have learned how to breathe so quickly.
-You are quick to learn. Well, at least this is my disciple.
The corners of her mouth go up as if she really likes it.
I pretended not to see her reaction and aimed my bow at the high orc.
The moment I let go of the bowstring like that.
-Quaaang!
It wasn’t enough that the body of the high orc was crushed, and a hole was made in the wall on the other side.
I was speechless at the unexpected power.
Even though I suppressed my mana, I never thought that this kind of power would come out.
“What have you done?!”
At that time, Sherry appeared, startled.
At that point, I had no words to say.
All I can do is quietly look at Mirroel.
I quietly turned her head to Miroelle.
Then she looks at the distant mountains.
Hey? Master? Why are you averting your eyes?
***
Three days passed and then Monday came.
For making a hole in the wall, of course I thought I would be scolded by the staff.
But, is it an academy where talented people gather?
The hole in the wall repaired by itself.
For that reason, fortunately, I did not get scolded by the staff.
‘I thought it was going to be a real big deal.’
In the game, training is done by skipping.
However, when the game becomes a reality, unexpected things happen.
‘Well, according to the staff, there are not one or two students who break down walls.’
It is said that he spent a lot of money on the training room because of that.
Anyway, this is it.
– Disciple. Do you understand? Never listen to the archery of elves who don’t even know the basics.
At that time, Miroel circled around in the air and continued to warn me.
From her point of view, it seems that Ilya, the archery instructor, is not to her liking.
-Haa, how could an elf not be able to properly teach the basics?
Miro El covered her face with her hands, letting out a grumbling sigh.
It’s quite embarrassing, but her waiting ears are fluttering.
I tried to ignore her ears and turned her head to Dale.
Then, unexpected news came from Dale’s mouth.
“Today we are going to have a practical class.”
“”Yes?!””
Everyone is shocked.
Dale looks at them like that and smiles wickedly.
As if the reaction was fun.
“Isn’t it time to get used to it?”
“Still, it’s a practical class, but isn’t it natural that I usually tell you before!”
The rest of the students nodded as if they agreed with Eden’s words.
The next moment, Dale answers with a smirk.
“Then wouldn’t it be fun?”
Wow. Is that really a professor?
While we are at a loss, he explains the rules for this test.
“Anyway, I’ll explain because I don’t have time.”
With that, Dale finished the explanation.
The test rules are simple.
Enter the artificial dungeon created by the sun god in pairs.
And points are given in the order in which they escaped the maze.
‘It’s just a dungeon escape.’
I thought so for a moment, Dale slowly announces Joe.
But at that moment.
“And Group 5 is Luden von Roden and Baran. It is these two people.”
An unexpected name came out of Dale’s mouth.
Soon, everyone including me was startled.
“They are in the same group?”
“First place is a sure thing.”
“No, this isn’t a fight, it’s just a maze escape.”
“Oh, yes.”
“Even because he is blind, he is at a disadvantage.”
Students quietly whispering while looking at me.
-Hmm. It seems that you are underestimating your disciple too much. Disciple, you must win first place unconditionally… Disciple?
At that time, Mirole tilted her head without speaking.
I don’t know what expression I’m making right now.
However, by analogy, I think he is smiling.
That would be the case too.
[Quest occurs – the first practical lesson in the main episode!]
[Reward will be given to those who escape the maze faster than anyone else.]
‘Looked back. Shut up and get first place.’
It’s because a quest came out that was very advantageous to me, who had an eye for mind.
