by fnovelpia“Now, everyone.”
Ssuk suk. Lision waved his hands in the air as if he were a professor. Green mana followed the fingertip and drew a line.
-Hapgong.
Finally, the two letters ‘Hapgong’ were written in green letters in the air. Lysion asked.
“What do you think joint work is?”
Revan and El did not hesitate and immediately gave the answer they thought of. Neither of them had the personality to show off in a situation like this.
“Dagul?”
“Oh, I thought that too.”
“······.”
For the first time, a small hint of disbelief appeared on Lysion’s face.
***
“Joint attack basically means that several people join forces to attack a specific target.”
Crack. Lysion tapped on the blackboard in the air.
“If two people join together to fight against five people, that is also a combined attack. This means that joint action does not necessarily presuppose numerical superiority.”
Revan and El nodded. After hearing it, it seemed like a natural statement.
“There is one blind spot here. Joint training does not necessarily guarantee better results.”
Wooung – Lysion pulled out three scarecrows holding swords out of the air.
It seemed to be surrounded by one scarecrow in the center and scarecrows holding swords on both sides. Mana-infused scarecrows swung their swords.
“If the trajectories of each other’s attacks overlap.”
Kagak-! There was a sound of wooden swords clashing against each other and twisting.
Naturally, the scarecrows on both sides were shaken by shock. Without missing the opportunity, the scarecrow in the center swung his sword. Clash – The two scarecrows on either side fell to the ground.
“It happens like this. Sometimes doing joint exercises without proper breathing is worse than not doing them at all.”
Revan and El recalled their battle with each other.
In Revan’s case, he ignorantly swung a heavy weapon with ignorant force and defeated the demon beast. It was a sufficiently bizarre way.
El was not far behind. They fought while wielding cursed artifacts freely. They were two very strong personalities.
“···So what are we learning?”
“To be honest, Hapgon is not something that can be taught. Just carve it into your body with your partner.”
Revan asked, raising his hand. Lysion threw something at the two.
“Hmm?”
L took the thrown bag and immediately opened it. Inside was a glass bottle containing a bright green glowing liquid.
“What is this?”
“This is a common medicine used by elves. Made by mixing herbs and mineral water.”
It had no side effects and was not bitter, so it was easy to swallow. A valuable item that could fetch quite a lot of money if sold to humans.
“Why did you give me this?”
Revan asked, and El next to him nodded. It may seem a little arrogant, but the two of them were confident in their abilities.
“You will need it. Obviously.”
Lysion declared to the two and pushed Revan and El into the forest. Along with patting both of them on the back.
“······?”
While entering the forest, Revan looked behind him and narrowed his eyebrows slightly. It seemed like a smile could clearly be seen on Lysion’s face, which obviously had no expression.
***
“First of all, how about here?”
A forest with dense trees stretching toward the sky. Revan and El arrived at a clearing with few trees.
“Your junior’s weapon has a wide attack radius.”
It was El who remembered the last time Revan fought. It was a proposal that contained some consideration.
“Ah, I don’t use the halberd anymore.”
“Yes?”
However, Babieka had just been returned to its original owner. L made a dumb face.
“···Then what do we fight with?”
“Oh, let me show you.”
Sarah. From inside his coat, Revan took out two daggers. It was an item that Lision lent to us during our first sparring.
“I was given permission to use it for the time being.”
“···Um.”
Although there was a twist in the plan, L thought it wasn’t a big problem and summoned a black, ominous wardrobe.
“Well, I will also take out the artifacts I showed you that night.”
If you go a little further, there are artifacts with much stronger performance. But this is a colony of elves. L thought that one should know moderation.
So what El took out was a coffin made of thorn vines, an ominous sword, and a cloak. They were the most easily used and tamed relics.
“How should we fight?”
After arming themselves, the two prepared for the upcoming conflict. It was obvious why Lysion pushed them into this forest.
“First, I will get close.”
It was Revan who had sparred with Lysion dozens of times. The weapon called a dagger originally became useless if it was kept at a distance.
“I hope you seize the opportunity to make a decisive attack.”
It was a plan that came to mind after seeing the friendly scarecrow’s collision that Lision showed earlier. El nodded.
“I think it would be better to go that way first-”
The moment the two were about to put their plan together, a loud alarm suddenly rang! I heard it.
“What is this?!”
The source of the sound was Revan and El. The moment when the two suddenly heard a loud noise and were trying to react.
“You are here?”
Lysion rushed towards the two with a ray of blue eyes. The sword held in that hand was swung gracefully toward Revan.
“Such a piece of shit-”
Kaang! Revan crossed his two daggers and struck down Lysion’s sword. It was an excellent defense that quickly recognized the level of power contained in the attack.
“Just reacted! It was very good!”
After receiving the attack, Lysion did not stop. He turned his body straight in the direction of the thrown sword and delivered a powerful strike. Revan’s body shook greatly.
“Did you know how to make a face like that?!”
“Ahahaha! I hear that word often!”
Lysion, who was swinging the sword as if it were his own body, had an eerie smile on his face that seemed to split his mouth at first glance. It seems as if the current sparring is so enjoyable.
“Ah! Lumiere! I’ve always wanted to compete with you! A human who is not subject to the curse of contaminated artifacts!”
“···Tsk.”
The balance was lost with just two sword strikes. El, who had pledged to intervene at the critical moment, stormed in.
Sigh-! From the tip of El’s left hand, an ominous, withered thorn bush spread out towards Lysion. First of all, it was calculated to give me time to catch my breath.
“Go away!”
But Lysion did not withdraw. He lightly stepped on the leaves that had just fallen from the impact of the collision, ran over, and cut down El’s thorn bushes as if nothing had happened.
“Kuhhh-!”
“Junior!”
Revan threw himself to protect the defenseless El who had raised the curse. The sword strike while unable to catch his breath failed miserably as he was struck in the solar plexus by Lision’s knee kick.
“······.”
“Lumière! It looks like this sparring will be a loss! Did you get anything?”
Despite Revan’s sacrifice, the battlefield was still in the worst shape. Lysion smiled ominously and lightly approached El.
“······.”
L finally found out. The skills he showed in his sparring with Revan were not even half of his full potential.
“Lision. Now I think I know why.”
“Um…? What do you mean?”
Isn’t mentality also important in fighting? After thinking about that, El moved his mouth and pointed at Lysion.
“Why you have no friends among the elves.”
“······.”
What El said was not wrong. The elves, who saw him smiling eerily and fighting happily, tended to avoid Lysion.
Andra, who was the best warrior of the elves before Lysion grew up, was the biggest victim. Even though Lysion, who admires Andra and likes her, clings to her persistently, she would sneak away.
But the fact that it wasn’t made up hurts more. Lysion asked with a slightly hurt expression.
“···Aren’t we friends?”
“I’m not a good enough person to be friends with a fruit stealer…”
Finally, a shadow fell on Lysion’s face. Wow – L adjusted his sword. I think I’ve done enough with the mental attack.
And El lost consciousness after exactly three hits.
***
Revan and L. The epicenter of the alarm that embarrassed them was their backs. Lysion took them out into the forest and secretly attached an alarm clock to their backs.
“This won’t fall off!”
The legs of the alarm clock were made from special goblin needles found in the elf forest. The watch never left their backs.
“Here we come again!”
“Shit Damn Damn Damn Damn Damn.”
The alarm sounded every five minutes telling the forest to leave. Each time Lysion defeated the two, he reset the alarm clock.
The five minutes were the only time the two had to resume sparring after losing. Revan and El consoled their throbbing bodies with potions and somehow came up with a plan.
“Hahahahaha! 100 years too soon!”
However, Lysion effortlessly broke through the plans the two desperately worked on.
And in the process, Lysion never pushed with force. He made sure to bring out an appropriate method of destruction and render the two incapable of fighting.
“···Hi.”
5 minute break. After that, the violence will end in 10 minutes at most.
One interesting thing is that the elf medicine given by Lysion had the effect of eliminating hunger and drowsiness. It was very efficient and had great medicinal properties.
“Please! Please give me a little rest!”
“Ugh… I don’t know because Lysion doesn’t have any friends…”
“Joke! It was a joke! To somehow increase the odds of winning-”
“It’s okay because I don’t really have any friends!”
“Ahh! Shit!”
But it was a huge bad news for both of them. Lysion attacked Revan and El every 5 minutes without even giving them time to eat or sleep.
“Ah, ah- 1 minute, 1 minute left.”
“···H.”
Revan’s mental strength, which had been strengthened through years of harsh living, was lost in just two days. Revan let out an idiotic laugh and looked into space.
But that didn’t stop Lysion from showing mercy. In the history of the continent, no one has spent three days more densely than the current two…
***
“···It went like this!”
Lysion’s face, as she spoke happily, was so shiny that it was hard to believe she hadn’t slept a wink in three days. A happiness that couldn’t be hidden was written on his face.
That’s because Lision originally enjoyed observing human martial arts. And Revan and El. It wasn’t common for there to be two strong ‘humans’. I am enjoying the joint effort of these two infinitely, so I am like a child at a festival.
“······.”
However, Andra was not as happy as Lysion. No, is it right to treat them like this when such newborn babies (elf standards) come forward for them?
However, there was no atmosphere suitable to stop sparring. Andra turned her gaze towards the two sitting on a rock.
“Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill.”
“······.”
Lumiere, which I have seen since I was young. The good boy was muttering something with his hands on either side of his head, while Revan was sharpening his dagger.
Their actions were overflowing with spirit. With the will to do something about Lysion.
“···Yes. Cheer up.”
In the end, Andra gave up thinking. He thought that he would do well since Lysion was also his young teacher who helped him improve his inaction.
“Yes! Andra!”
Lysion responded energetically to Andra’s encouragement. It looked like a dog drooling over the delicious snack that was about to come.
