"So~ Yuki-chan wants to learn gun skills?"

"Ah~no! I hope you can teach me how to use a shield to fend off attacks...... Is that okay?"

"Yes, yes...... But~~ Why do you want to learn shields?" Karn asked suspiciously, after all, the way shieldmen and spearmen fought was so far apart.

"Because there are so few avant-garde in the guild...... We need one person to transform into a avant-garde, so that the team will be much easier. ”

"Hmm...... I understand the reason, but why you?"

"Huh?"

"I mean~ why are you transforming? Aren't you afraid? Suddenly changed from a long-range weapon to a shield soldier who faces monsters at close range......"

"......" Yuki bowed his head.

"~I see~~~ I suddenly don't want to teach you anymore~" Karn looked at Keita and said in a disgusted tone.

"Huh?...... Why?," Keita asked in alarm.

"You forced Ko-chan to transform, right?" Karn said directly. "As a man, you actually let girls serve as avant-garde and carry shields, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Because, because ...... The rest of the team is very proficient...... Not only would you waste a lot of skill proficiency if someone else converted, but it would also be cumbersome to build a new weapon feel...... So ......"

"That's it?"

"Uh......"

"Just because she's afraid of trouble, she became an avant-garde? Don't you know she's scared? She didn't tell you?"

“…… Because all you need to do is hide behind a shield...... That's why I kept telling her not to be afraid......"

"Just need to hide behind a shield?!" Karn looked at Keita incredulously. "That's how you understand shield soldiers?"

“…… Isn't there a lot of knowledge in this?!!" At this moment, the other avant-garde of the guild, the shield soldier, looked at Karn with a look of inquisitiveness.

"Of course!!!......! Do you think there will be so-called 'easy' parts in a qualified team?!!! rookies!"

""Teachable!!"

"What's even more hateful is that you actually put the trouble on a girl because you're afraid of trouble?!You cowards!Give me ten big mouths!!"

"Yes! Instructor!"

Karn's aura in his angry state made people feel the terrifying oppressive force, and even if they were in a safe town at this time, they couldn't hold back the panic in their hearts.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

——————

In the end, it was decided to transform from the thief who was in charge of wandering in the original team assignment to a shield soldier, although the flexible assassin was too far from the slightly bulky shield soldier, but he himself originally chose the thief route only because the thief class in other games was very handsome? When Karn explained the importance and power of the shield soldier in real team battles, he immediately announced that he had taken over the task, as if he was imagining the image of a brave striker who would block one ferocious attack after another for the team~~

"I don't want to delay too much time, anyway, it's just these two days~ I'll exercise you to the limit you can accept, just two days, so don't feel tired. ”

After saying this~ Karn began a devilish (for men) and angelic (for women) intense training.

In addition to the qualities and knowledge required for each position in the team...... There's only one thing left – and that's combat skills.

There is only one way of training, and that is actual combat drills.

All 5 people except Xing were tired, and Xing was also red-faced all day long.

When the training was announced, everyone slept to their heart's content.

"By the way, do you really plan to let Yuki continue fighting?" On the morning of the third day, Karn and Keita ate breakfast in the inn while the others slept. Karn woke him up because he had something to say to Keita.

"This is...... What do you mean?"

"She's scared~"

"Luck...... Is it?" Keita looked down in thought. "It's true that the recent situation is not quite right compared to before, and it seems that people are more silent, but ...... Since you're just getting started with combat, it's normal, right?"

"It's much more serious than you think~"

“……”

"It's already on the verge of collapse. ”

“…… Is this so serious?"

"Hmm...... Because I was afraid of death, I ...... I don't think I'll commit suicide, but it's only a matter of time before I die in battle in that state. ”

Karn had seen quite a few people on the verge of a mental breakdown, in Olarie, in the Moon World, and even in SAO, and because he had seen so much, he knew Yuki's reaction very well.

"I suggest that it would be better for her to transform into a support profession such as a blacksmith~~ If you want her to stop being afraid, just run away. In addition, there are only two ways to get her into battle without being afraid: one is to give her the combat power to completely crush the SAO game mode, and build up her self-confidence in this way. The second is ...... Make her fall in love with fighting ~ like me. ”

“…… What do you think is the right one?"

"Of course it's a love of fighting!" Karn said, "Transforming into a forger is just an escape, she will always leave a shadow, and it's hard to say what kind ......of psychology she will subtly become, and maybe it will even affect our future life back in the real world after clearing SAO." And let her have the combat power to crush SAO...... I can do it myself, but teaching people isn't my forte, so the only option is to make her fall in love with combat. ”

"Isn't teaching people your forte?!!" Keita looked shocked. "But I feel that the strength I have improved in the past two days is terrifying...... And wasn't that 'Asuna the Psychic Light' rumor taught by you?"

"Your strength has increased because you are too good. Asuna-chan is because she is very talented, plus she has me as a training machine (although she is shy when she trains with me~), and ~~~ She is the same as me...... He's a man who has fallen in love with fighting~" Karn looked proud, mercilessly criticizing Keita. "Speaking of the name of the Spiritual Light, it's very nice~"

“…… That fell in love with the fighting...... Isn't it easy?"

"It's easy...... As long as she feels unwilling~" Karn thought for a moment. "Although it varies from person to person~ But it's only a matter of time before I want to arouse a person's enthusiasm for fighting~"

"Yes...... Keita muttered for a long time. "Then, Mr. Morro...... Are you willing to help Yuki fall in love with the fight? I've learned over the past two days that you're a very simple person. And very gentlemanly (no ambiguity). ”

"Of course I'm willing to ~ Isn't saving a lovely girl exactly what my generation should do?!"

"Thank you so much...... You have helped us so much......"

"Eh~Anla~~ I'm also making a lot of money myself......"

"Are you glad to be a teacher?!!I'm so ashamed!" Keita remembered Karn's intently instructed in the past two days, and thought that two days had passed in a blink of an eye, and they were about to ...... A little nasal sore.

"No~ Actually, I landed as friends with Yuki-chan two days ago~~ I went to Yuki-chan's room last night, hey...... Whoa, hey, hey......" Karn said, drooling as he spoke.

"What?!!! you bastard gentleman (no ambiguity...... Should...... ）！！！！”

Keita didn't know that while the two were talking, Yuki's face, who was hiding in the corner of the stairs and eavesdropping, exploded because of Karn's statement.
