134 – No World for Adolescent Dragons (3)
Actually, there isn’t much that Xianne and I can do for Lucy, who is half-human and half-dragon.
Of course, if you forcefully examine it, you can tell me the essence of Aloy, and if Lucy wants, I was willing to give you a set of three kinds of administrative officers, such as various cheating, politics, and personality, but.
Why would Lucy, a half-human, half-dragon learn such things for?
On the other hand, in the case of Xianne, there was something to be said for sure. Because she was a powerful knight.
Swordsmanship, fighting methods, blooming auras, and more.
He had a lot more to teach than me.
But after all, since she is only human, it is unknown how useful she can be for Lucy.
Chief Xianne and I weren’t the strongest creatures that breathed fire from our mouths after living for hundreds or thousands of years.
The crazy Dragonbak of the rare era, who couldn’t hunt such a dragon, ate it, and even had a baby, wasn’t even the great hero Orgius.
However, at least Orgius’s secret book remained. Why is a visionary a visionary? It is a secret book because even those who do not know anything can learn it if they start training based on the book.
“If this is for sure… ….”
Xianne also decided that there was nothing better than this, so Xianne and I decided to resume our early morning training, which we had paused for a while.
Instead, if the main goal was to improve personal abilities in the past, now it’s different that it’s to fully inform Lucy about the Orgius Heavenly Sword Ceremony.
“First of all, the Orgius Heavenly Sword Ceremony is divided into a total of 14 types. From 1 to 8, a sword, and from 9 to 14, the herbivores hold a long sword in one hand and a short spear in the other. ….”
“First of all, let’s try from 1 to 8 meals. No matter how much I do, it is unreasonable for me to hold a sword and a spear at the same time.”
“It was difficult for me too. I understand that the reason why our Erain sword ceremony was divided into sects was because we couldn’t handle short spears well.”
I could recall a conversation I had with Orgius once.
-The movement is fine. Did you say Siane Valeos? Pretty good for her humble brother’s offspring.
‘You bastard, is that why she hated her sister? You say you can’t handle a spear?’
It doesn’t make sense from a common sense point of view, but it doesn’t make much sense again when you think about the guy who was reckless and reckless.
On the contrary, it is highly likely.
‘Crazy man.’
I felt like I was getting goosebumps just by recalling the memory of that time, so I shuddered in disgust.
“Why is that?”
“Oh, no. It reminds me of bad memories.”
Xian Ne tilted her head for a moment, then she let it go and drew her sword.
“The basic stance is to put the sword forward like this. In a straight line, so that the blade can come exactly between the eyebrows.”
The posture was firmly fixed and did not shake. It is Xianne who studied the Heaven Sword Ceremony in order to complete and improve her unique Sword Ceremony.
Basic postures and basic movements are already learned.
Even on rainy days or snowy days, the effort he devoted to training by wielding his sword without rest is already shining.
I made eye contact with her and drew her sword in the same way.
Surereung─.
Along with the cool sound of the blade and scabbard colliding, the silvery steel shimmered with the dawn.
“And accelerate quickly while exploding mana into the heel supporting the center of gravity!!”
Pain!
Almost simultaneously with the sound of air bursting, Xianne’s sword rushes in front of her eyes. I calmly scattered the blast sound and parried the flying slash with my sword.
Kang! Gaga!!
Blades grind, steel meets steel, and white sparks fly.
“…… How is it?”
“Umm~ The movement itself was quite similar, but the weight is disappointing.”
Unfortunately, I am a person who has not awakened mana, let alone an aura. The momentary acceleration that Xianne showed me earlier was a level of difficulty comparable to that of a special move.
For this reason, the task I was entrusted with in the ‘Orgius Heavenly Sword Transfer Operation’ was to counter Siane’s sword attack and further enhance the perfection of the Heavenly Sword.
I used dead poison, but as long as I caught up with Orgius’s speed for a while and exchanged sums, I’d be able to quickly figure out what was lacking in Xianne’s Heavenly Sword Ceremony.
“Then ask again!”
“You can do it all day.”
Xianne swung her sword around, stepped back and opened the distance. Fain! The air burst and sparks flew again.
“The sense of weight has improved, but as I focus on it, the speed is slightly…….”
“I’ll do it again!”
Kacang!!
“Both are fine, but the balance is weird this time. If I had awakened Mana, I think she could have let go of the attack.”
“Ugh…… Then, one more time!!”
Kagagak!!
I continued to receive Xianne’s sword attacks. When she made full use of her swing, which is the most basic of her heavenly swordsmanship—.
It was just after the sun had already risen in the middle of the sky.
***
Lucy has been in a bad mood for the past few weeks. There were many reasons, but I didn’t know if it was really because of it.
Just from a certain moment, I suddenly felt gloomy, lethargic, and sharp.
Even though she knew she shouldn’t, she treated her father, Lou Verne, and her mother, Sianne, badly. If I shot that hard during the day, I couldn’t sleep at night because I felt guilty.
As I did a few months ago, I agonized over and over whether to go into her mother’s room and sleep with her, and over and over over whether to consult with her father.
From noble mtl dot com.
In the end, what Lucy chose was always silence.
It wasn’t just the twist of the character that caused confusion.
The change in the body that stands out day by day also added a role.
The shelf, which he had to look up at just a few months ago, is now easily reached by his fingers when he stretches out his hand.
My body, which used to be light, somehow felt uncomfortable. Lucy, who roamed the streets with her small body, now found it difficult to pass through an alleyway.
My legs got stuck and my head got caught. Most of all, whenever his chest was pressed against the wall, it hurt like a bruise.
And above all, what hurt him the most?
-Mi, sorry Lucy…… I don’t think I can play with you anymore…….
-Lucy, I’m sorry…….
It was the fact that friends who had a good time together started to distance themselves. Curiosity and fear mixed together in the eyes of the city dwellers.
His body may have been big, but it was quite a shock to Lucy, who had not yet reached his mental maturity.
I suffered for several days. He buried his face in his pillow and cried.
In the meantime, her father was seriously injured and was in a coma, and her mother watched her helplessly, standing by her father’s side every night.
Lucy could not bear to rely on the two as before.
Because everyone was in a difficult situation.
Because he felt that he could no longer be pampered.
Regius, who is his tutor and one of the few people who can openly talk with him, said it was because he had dragon blood, but he also had human weaknesses.
In fact, she was already aware that she was of a distinctly different race from her adoptive parents, Xianne and Lubern.
She was from the lineage of the wise and mighty gold dragon among dragons, and she always saw what others couldn’t see.
Even when darkness dwelled in Baron Kirten’s territory, and when the darkness that spread like that reached Tiffen Village, she created beings that were somewhat nostalgic yet powerful, and therefore fearful.
Lucy always had a glimpse of that future, and she could foretell her destiny.
Her own destiny, her future, and her future path were nowhere to be seen, which was laughable, but she said.
I was confused.
The reason he relied on Regius the most was because he was also a different being from the people here.
Even though he wanted to honestly tell Lubern and Xianne about his troubles, he didn’t want to bother them because they were always busy.
But on the contrary, when the two of them approached, for some reason, I threw my irritation away and regretted it repeatedly.
All of my friends have disappeared, people’s eyes have changed, and I feel good as if I’m flying in the sky, but then I suddenly penetrate the basement and get stuck.
More than anything else, her mental instability was the hardest thing for her.
That time, instead of getting better day by day, I was short of breath due to the pressure.
“Lucy, Captain Cianne Valeos and Administrator Luvern Aylroy are calling.”
“Are you mom and dad?”
Her head wanted to run away at once, but her heart wouldn’t move.
Looking at Lucy so troubled, spirit knight Regius lightly patted her on the shoulder.
“You’d better go first, Lucy. You won’t regret it.”
Regius’ smile and tone, no matter how Lucy, she somehow couldn’t resist. Is it because the title of teacher has a sense of weight?
“…… Whoa, okay. If the teacher says so.”
In the end, Lucy followed Regius to the parade ground, tickling but not saying anything. There, his parents in training clothes were waiting for him.
“Lucy.”
Lubern’s mouth was open. Lucy reacted involuntarily to her voice and her body trembled.
“Dad.”
As she answered, slightly averting her gaze, a sword fell at her feet.
“What is this?”
The silver blade of the sword flashed. Two people who always told me to use only wooden swords for training because it was dangerous, but they threw real swords?
As if not understanding why, Lucy raised her head and looked at the two of them.
Said the mother, with golden hair that looked exactly like her own, drawing her sword.
“I’m sorry, Lucy. I was thinking of letting you know someday…… It was our mistake not to understand you properly.”
Xianne’s eyes suddenly became moist, and Luberne took over the end of her unfinished words.
“Lucy, you are a half-man, half-dragon born to the dragon knight Orgius and his wife, the gold dragon Epirothraksia.”
The two spoke alternately.
Dragon Knight Orgius. It was after the county had already turned upside down due to the Blue Cross Incident. It was a name Lucy had heard once through the residents.
I knew the story of the dragon’s blood, but to think that his real parents were the people in the village talking about.
Just as Lucy is about to get confused about her identity again.
Lou Verne Alroy quickly followed her.
“But it doesn’t mean that you two didn’t have anything left for you. The two of you wanted you to go through this world wisely and strong.”
“Dad…… ?”
“Pick up your sword, Lucy.”
Its black eyes, like obsidian, sparkle. Seeing that, Lucy swallowed her dry saliva.
“From now on, I will teach you the legacy.”
