59 – Reason for calling – 2
The day after sparring with David, the swordsman.
Today, I headed to the academy classroom building for class.
“Okay. Today we’re going to train for the great magic war and the great knight war, so everyone go outside.”
“Yah-ho!”
“Take it too!”
I heard shouts of joy from the students who belonged to the driver’s class.
Is it because you saw the training I gave you the other day?
All of the students in the magic class looked confused.
As soon as I came out like that, I told the magic class students who came towards me.
“It’s called a great knight war, but I don’t have much to teach you guys.”
“Che, aren’t you doing physical training?”
“Do wizards need to train their stamina like knights do?”
That’s what I want to ask. Even when he saw Cecil, Diago, and other wise men, they only had basic stamina and did not try to increase their stamina significantly. If you have time for that, train your magic.
So the lessons I can give you are simple self-defense skills.
“Of course, you must have basic physical strength. Even for your own health. As such, I will teach you a simple method of meditation.”
“Isn’t it to teach you how to fight against knights?”
“This practice itself is also for fighting against a knight. Now, everyone. Basically, what do you do when you are in a one-on-one confrontation with a knight?”
One raised his hand. With freckles in her red hair, she exclaimed proudly.
“Correct answer! Let’s start with a strong blow!”
“…If you try to blow that hard one, you may end up getting hit. Whether it’s magic or sword, it’s important to find an opportunity to fight. So… Rogen. Can you help me for a moment?”
I called Rogen, the grandson of the swordsman, among the cadets who were waiting for a match with Cecil. As he approached, trembling, I directed him to attack me.
“The sea we’ve been waiting for!!”
Rogen rushed forward with a roar and swung his sword. I dodged the powerful blow to his head by taking a step to the side and reached for Rogen’s fist flying towards me.
“Huh?!”
Then lightly tugged at the hem of his clothes and walked over.
-Wandangtang!!
Rogen let out a groan as he tumbled to the floor under his own power. I smiled at him and held out his hand.
“How was the last attack?”
“Something… I think it was a very small force…”
“That’s right. The power I used was extremely small. Most of the power was yours.”
This is the basic principle of double grafting. Hitting an opponent with the opponent’s strength, not your own.
I lightly reached out to the students who were staring blankly at me and Rogen.
“Now, would you like to come out one by one?”
The red-haired student from earlier got up and approached me. As she held her staff in one hand, Nan told Rogen to swing her sword slowly.
“Huh? Huh huh?”
I moved the red-haired student using my inner energy in line with Rogen’s attack. Surprised by the way her own body moves, she tries to hold on with her strength.
“It’s what I’m doing, don’t hold on. Just accept it.”
“Uh… Yes.”
She evaded her slow slash, received the ensuing punch, and grabbed Rogen’s hem and pulled him away. With that alone, Rogen, who had lost her balance halfway, tried to resist, but her foot kicked Rogen’s leg.
– Udangtang!!
“Keep it off…”
“Now. It’s like this. You feel it too, right?”
“Uh… Yes. It barely took any effort.”
“Yes. Here’s what I’m going to teach you. As mages, you can’t expect strength gains. But you can create an opportunity to deliver a blow to an unsuspecting foe.”
Pretending to prepare magic, take the enemy’s attack and then lose balance to create an opening. And if you use magic, the magic you prepared will surely work.
“What is this…?”
“It’s called Tai Chi.”
In this class, the goal of today’s class is to teach the basics of taijiquan and proper health care.
“Okay. Applause to student Rogen for helping me.”
– Clap clap clap clap!
Rogen, who fell to the floor twice while demonstrating, scratched the back of his head and returned to his seat.
“The next step is the method of health. The more often you do it, the clearer your head will be, so it will be of great help to you mages.”
It is slow to grow, but it is a three-recipe method that is much more powerful than some of the top-notch methods in terms of purity. If wizards who move less often do it whenever they have a chance, it will reduce the occurrence of minor diseases and increase their stamina.
I sat cross-legged and taught the three-review method, and I learned the three-review method quickly, probably because they are all smart wizards.
“Then, now only the herbivore training of Taijiquan remains. Let’s come out one by one and practice sparring with me.”
The students are not accustomed to handling the body, but I was able to teach them calmly, so I was able to get them acquainted with one herbivore.
The rest is just training yourself.
“I won’t tell you to neglect the study of magic and practice it. But I think it’s for your health and I hope you practice it at least once a day.”
“Okay!”
“Whew. I was worried that we would have physical training like the Faculty of Engineering, but… You have more common sense than I thought!”
The young man with light blue hair said with a smile.
You’re saying it for granted. There is no other pacifist with common sense like me.
“You don’t have to make things go wrong. There is a law that suits everyone.”
I glanced at the students of the Faculty of Engineering. Seeing the students getting hit here by Cecile’s magic and being destroyed there made me feel sorry for nothing.
But they are the ones who become stronger only when they are beaten. So I have to beat it as much as possible.
-Ding-dong~! Dang~ Dong~!
The bell rang for the end of class. In the Faculty of Knights, only a few people, including Rogen and Lebotan, were the only ones who had withstood Cecil’s magic attacks to the end. They definitely have potential for growth.
“Kwaaah! Instructor over there!”
“Hmm? Did you call me?”
Rogen ran to me as soon as he heard the class bell ringing. Then he grabbed my arm and growled.
“You can’t win and run away, right?!”
Ah. Yes.
Dalian practice ends with this class. The next training session is in three weeks. Until then, I have nothing to do with Rogen.
“Are you thinking of revenge?”
“You’re the kind of person who can’t live without being hurt!!”
It’s exciting. I like it.
I saw Revo Tan approaching him before I knew it and he nodded his head as well.
“I’m not as good as this friend, but I’m a bit defeated… Will you participate in the next practice?”
“If there is nothing special, I think I will participate. Then I’ll see you in three weeks.”
“At that time, I will definitely give you a blow!!”
“hahahaha. Thank you very much.”
It’s quite fun. I am happy to see you all I watched the two walk away, then approached Cecile.
It’s amazing that he doesn’t show any sign of tiredness even though he’s used a lot of magic.
“Temporary Instructor Collaboration Class ends today… I have to come back in three weeks. Should I still do it then?”
“That’s right. Who do you want to ask?”
With a leisurely smile, she tapped my arm and led me to the shade. And she thought for a moment with her mouth shut, then let out a deep sigh.
“Actually, there’s nothing for you to do with research for the time being. The wise men will have to put their heads together for about two weeks.”
“That means…”
“Yes. Go back to the manor. But always carry the crystal ball with you. You never know when something will happen.”
“hahahaha. It looks like you don’t want to send it?”
“mmm…”
Is it real? But Cecil was well aware of the benefits of me being in the manor when there was no work at the academy. After a long moan, she finally lowered her head.
“To be honest, I don’t want to let go…”
“hahahahaha. I think you’re comfortable and happy because I’m by your side.”
“More than I thought. A sense of stability is no joke. You are.”
I am also a stable man.
“But because of that, I can’t miss the development of the territory… I can’t… Groan…”
“Do you have any concerns?”
“It’s not your concern. If you’re worried… Lucy.”
Obviously, there is also a problem with Lucy. But as long as I went, I could be sure of her safety.
“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to protect you.”
“…It’s not that kind of problem. Ugh. Anyway, I’ll take care of you.”
She seemed to have decided to let it go after all, and she scratched her head. It’s kind of annoying behavior…
“Don’t cry because I’m not there.”
“Who cries?”
Sniffing her nose, she took me to her lab. Cecile, who had me standing in the magic circle in the lab, stared at me, then turned her head away.
“It’s this week. You must come after two weeks.”
“Okay.”
“Be sure to carry the crystal ball with you. I’ll call you once a day.”
“Don’t worry.”
“…Okay. Then I’ll send it to you. See you in two weeks.”
With a bitter expression on her face, she activated her teleport magic. Along with the sense of heterogeneity I felt the other day, the familiar stone chamber appeared.
It is an underground stone chamber in the Stein Manor.
I went right up and ran into Lucy coming down the stairs.
“I’m here.”
“Wow! You came at such a good time! I thought I’d call you anyway!”
“Yes? What happened…?”
“I have to attend the prom! Whoops. Chunyoung. Can you be my partner?!”
