57 – Growth and Sealed Armory
This evening.
I came to the gravity room with Maya.
5X gravity room.
Maya’s current strength level is D+, so it is the same as mine.
We could train in the same gravity room.
As Maya and I passed by, attention was focused.
“Hmm? What is it, Sister Evan?”
“Aww, so cute! Are you trying to show your sister how to practice?”
Students in higher grades than me send kind words.
Because I often go to the gravity room, I tend to know the faces of people who come often.
Maybe it’s because I scolded Jeanne’s gang, but the first year students are secretly avoiding me.
It’s nice not to bother you.
‘I’m sorry, but Maya will also be training.’
Maya and I entered the 5x gravity room.
“Yes…… ? “Why is my little sister in the gravity room too?”
“Uh…… Shouldn’t I stop it? No, wait a minute, is that girl holding up?”
“Wow. “A girl who can withstand a 5x gravity room.”
Sounds of surprise.
Even though Maya looks young, she has D+ muscles compressed into her small body.
So even after crossing the entrance to the gravity room, Maya didn’t see much change.
Her feet step on the solid marble floor, and a thick weight presses down on her entire body.
“Maya, this is where I always practice. “It’s good for building muscle.”
“Wow, it definitely feels like my body is being pressed, Sabu!”
Maya is amazed as she moves her body around.
Maya is wearing training clothes that fit her body tightly.
Bought at the store introduced by Selene.
Training clothes are made of material that wicks away sweat well, so you can move your body as much as you want.
“Compared to our magical abilities, our physical abilities are low. All abilities must be harmonious. “I build my muscles here.”
“Muscles!”
Maya responded with burning passion.
We swung our swords in a corner. Although she felt awkward at first, Maya quickly got used to it and honed her sword skills.
“I’m going to build muscles. Muscle!”
“Yes.”
Maya spoke while swinging her sword, as if engraving what I said into her heart.
Her small hands hold the sword and dance skillfully.
Hmph! Hung!
A sword that is wielded fiercely.
At first glance, Maya’s swordsmanship is reminiscent of the pilgrim’s sword.
Probably, you’re just copying me. The only time the Pilgrim’s Sword was shown was when dealing with the Judges, and once they saw it, they imitated it.
‘I guess I won’t have to teach swordsmanship for a while.’
I haven’t taught Maya swordsmanship yet.
Maya is trying to imitate me.
The process of trying something with a sword is important to a swordsman.
Will I soon be able to spar with Maya without using magical power?
I feel like my solid expectations are melting.
‘Let me focus too.’
I started my training.
Swing the sword slowly to achieve the best stimulation.
First of all, the goal is to reach the physical ability level of C-.
※
Men’s dormitory, my room.
After sending Maya away, I went inside and meditated.
What I think about is when dealing with two judges.
No matter how much I thought about it, the fight at that time was regrettable.
‘The judges’ attacks did not work on me.’
Because my use of magical power was no different from my previous life, the magical battle with the judges was easy.
I could have fought with less mana…….
If that were the case, my body wouldn’t have become weak.
‘Let’s imagine.’
When I fought with the judges.
It is about predicting what the result will be when less mana is used.
High-level inspectors predict this very accurately.
I imagined.
White and gigantic judges appear… Holding the light, I clash with the judges.
Light is blocked by the scales, but as the magic power increases, the sword gradually splits the scales.
Eventually, the judges who cut me… I lie down as a corpse…… I opened my eyes.
“I could have used a little less mana.”
The problem was that the light was made large from the beginning to overwhelm the two.
Next time we fight, we’ll fight more efficiently.
I took a deep breath and relaxed my body.
-Kwaa! Explode and die, child!
-Huong… It seems like our curses aren’t working very well these days.
Evil spirits are furiously cursing nearby.
Like the Red Knight said, the curse doesn’t have much of an effect anymore.
Even now, while meditating, I haven’t received anything that bothers me.
‘It’s time to bring in new demons.’
Carnwena and the Red Knights alone became insufficient.
I gave my body strength again and got up.
“I will soon release you.”
It would be better to use the curse to free it than to keep it stuck in the window.
Carnwena and the Red Knight squirmed as if in a fit at my declaration of liberation.
-Is that really true, kid!?
-Master!
Joy and sadness overlapped on the expressions of the two evil spirits.
-Whoosh… How lonely this place has been so far.
-It was so boring, huh.
“It’s noisy.”
I lived for hundreds of years and suffered a terrible death.
I frowned and removed all the spears stuck to the evil spirits.
Tsutsutsu… ….
Spears powered by magic power.
Once free, the evil spirits tossed and turned and collapsed on their remaining limbs. Their bodies have not yet been restored.
-Hey! Are we not giving back our limbs?
-Yes, that’s right. It’s inconvenient to have no right leg, master!
The evil spirits complained.
I’m sorry, but I don’t plan on giving you too much at once.
“Be thankful that they released you. I’ll be watching what you do from now on, I don’t know if they’ll make fun of you for escaping again. “In that state, try cursing again.”
I sat down on the floor and took a deep breath.
I plan to compare the intensity of the curse when the evil spirits are in bondage and when they are free.
The demons looked at me for a moment with distorted faces, as if they were seeing something other than a human.
When I glared, the evil spirits forced a smile and cursed me.
A feeling of weight weighing down the body.
It is bearable.
It is not strong enough to interfere with meditation.
‘I guess I should contact Cynthia.’
Carnwena and Red Knight alone have no training effect anymore.
I have to go to the sealed armory.
After I got out of the inside, I sent Cynthia her email.
※
Professor Cynthia’s private residence.
The training room used only by Cynthia was filled with coldness.
The walls, floor, and ceiling are all covered in bright blue ice.
Cynthia stood in the center and whispered.
“…… “I think I reached it.”
Sword of the Winter Queen 6 stars.
After being stagnant at 5 stars for several years, I feel like I have made great progress.
Cynthia let out a shaky breath.
“Whoa…” hahahaha.”
She swung her sword so much that she lost track of time.
To embody the current landscape.
Still, at this rate, can it be said to be the northern plain that is the image of the Six Stars?
I’m not sure yet.
‘After watching Evan’s swordsmanship demonstration, I trained every single day.’
To somehow hold on to the image Evan showed me.
Cynthia has not yet given up on her father’s wish and her dream of reaching the Eighth Star.
“Whoa.”
Catching her breath once again, Cynthia checked her device with her calm mind.
Because an alarm sounded while she was practicing.
《Mail Box》
『Important! Evan: Professor, can I go to the sealed armory one more time?』
Cynthia held her breath.
Because I received an email that wasn’t supposed to arrive.
So far, Evan has only given simple answers, and she has never made any suggestions.
Cynthia’s heart was beating violently.
Cynthia placed her hand on her own heart and tried to think rationally.
‘First of all…… ‘I can accept his offer.’
The last time he went to the armory, he didn’t come out with any weapons.
So there is no problem if I go again this time.
《Mail Box》
『Important! Evan: Professor, can we go to the sealed armory one more time?
Cynthia: Yes.
Important! Evan: Thank you.』
Cynthia sighed.
The conversation with him was formal and formal.
If Cynthia doesn’t say anything more, the conversation will end.
Cynthia wanted to tell her Evan about her own accomplishments.
I think I’ve reached level 6 of the Winter Queen’s Sword, and I’m thankful that it’s Evan’s credit.
He showed a swordsmanship demonstration.
But Cynthia felt like Evan was distant.
There is an uproar in the academy that Evan has caught the dragon.
Did she hide her skills?
It seems like Sword Saint Mayer is paying attention recently…….
Cynthia, who thought she simply had good knowledge of Evan’s swordsmanship, realized that she was mistaken.
If you have slain a dragon, it means you have skills.
Maybe… She might have been a bother to him.
‘Phew.’
Cynthia’s sighs increased.
Just pick up the device and type on the keyboard… His finger doesn’t touch the screen.
Since when did she become so timid?
Simply expressing gratitude is difficult.
※
The next evening.
Since she knew the approximate location of the sealed armory, Cynthia decided to meet Evan near the armory.
Cynthia in her academy uniform.
Standing somewhere near the armory, she heard footsteps.
She had just finished taking a shower when Evan, with his hair wet, was walking in the distance.
“Ah.”
Although we meet her once in a research group, this is the first time we have seen her since Evan killed the dragon.
Cynthia’s heart was pounding. Cynthia wore the professor’s mask. If she can’t control her emotions like this, she’ll behave badly.
“…… Have you had any accomplishments?”
As soon as Evan met, she looked at Cynthia with a strange look.
“Yes?”
Evan’s words were unexpected, so Cynthia gave a dumb answer.
In Evan’s opinion, Cynthia’s use of magical power had become more refined and bold. Did you try?
Cynthia understood Evan’s words, and her happy heart rose. I never thought Evan would know.
“…… Yes!”
Cynthia feels like her swollen heart is rising up her neck, her smile forming on her face like a flower blooming… She endured it with great effort and expressed her gratitude.
“Thanks to Evan… “I think I’ll reach 6-star Sword of the Winter Queen, thank you.”
Thanks to Evan encouraging her first, it was easy for Cynthia to get her words out.
“What form did it take?”
Evan showed interest.
She thought that with Cynthia’s talent, it would take her a year, but she achieved it faster than Evan thought.
Cynthia answered with a little excitement.
“I took pictures of the northern plains.”
