In the winter of Northridge, the fine snow falls as if it doesn't want to stop. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is covered with a thick layer of white snow.

The magic academy is so quiet during the holidays, I guess there are only a few of us left except for the necessary left-behind personnel, right?

In this small snow scene, it seems that time has stood still.

Every day, there is also a scene of fine snow outside the window, and there is almost no change except for the sound of falling snow.

Where it's like at home, occasionally, there will be foxes passing by from the back mountains looking for food, they are really cute.

After all, this dormitory is surrounded by high courtyard walls...... Alas.

But...... It's hard to imagine that I could sit by the window and watch the snow so leisurely, and look at it for more than a month.

It's been a long time since I've felt this comfortable.

In my memory, I can have the opportunity to leisurely watch the snow scene when I was alone at home.

Since Lacey came to the house five years ago, I have spent a day just doing housework, instructing Lacey, and practicing swords......

Now, I don't have to do anything, just wait so boringly for the contact of the non-god association.

The wait was long, like the never-ending snow in front of us.

And after waiting so long, will the Non-God Association really come to me, as Mr. Nabal said?

Thankfully, with the help of the magic device used by the Academy of Magic for remote communication, we were able to get my father's permission without any problems.

"Winter doesn't have anything to do with the Knights. Rest there for yourselves! It just so happens that the bastard boy in the province is making trouble at the winter court banquet! You'll be back in the spring! Father said.

Bastard boy making trouble at a palace banquet? Giggle! Oh indeed! That bastard Asa!

Disguised as a hero, he will definitely be invited to a palace banquet in winter, right? Then he was lustful and took the opportunity to take advantage of those aristocratic girls! It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

It's definitely going to make me beat me up until I say it.

It's good that we're staying in this lonely North Ridge now!

But I don't know if Asa is so lucky.

For a period of time at the beginning of the period, I watched Asa who was beaten miserably until he fainted every day. I'm still very uncomfortable, but every day like this, it's really a little numb!

Just like now, in the snow-soaked square, he was still under the brutal training of Mr. Nabal.

Vaguely, I could still see him being knocked away.

Alas......

Fool......

"Mr. Nabal," for several days Asa was dragged back to the dining room like a dead body. I finally couldn't help but ask, "What the hell are you doing?!" Asa is beaten by you every day, so pitiful! ”

"Training! Luca! Nabal said to little Luca, who was busy eating snacks at the table, "Come! Heal him! ”

"Huh~? Do you want to heal your wounds again?! Little Luca grumbled dissatisfiedly. Woo~ Luca, I just had time to eat a snack......! Then he hurriedly ran over, "I have to help my disgusting brother treat his injuries every day, I'm tired to death!" ”

"It's just a sacred art training!" I helped little Luca put the corpse-like Asapin aside, "Didn't Minia agree?" That way you'll have one less class! ”

"Luca thought that the class she could skip was a gospel class!" Little Luca grimaced. Cast a spell on Asa. "As a result, I still have to memorize that unfortunate gospel every day! Woo! Sister Minia is really! I've already taken those classes, Luca! ”

"Classes? How much do you remember?! Minia's dissatisfied voice came from behind her, "Now I'm making up for you, okay?!" ”

"Woo~! Luca: I knew I wouldn't come to Northridge with you...... Now the church schools are on holiday! Little Luca continued to grimacing.

"Be content with little things!" Minia shook her head helplessly, "Every day the royal set meal is eaten, and there are ready-made corpses (corpses?) Asa isn't dead yet! I couldn't help but complain in my heart) "How good it is to practice the sacred art for you!" Yes? This dead maggot is also so miserable today?! Minia looked down at Assa, "Pretty much the same injury...... Mr. Nabal! She turned to Nabal, who had already started drinking to herself, "Can I ask for advice?!" ”

(Minia also uses honorifics for men.) Giggle! ）

"Say!"

"My problem is similar to Sakura's! What exactly do you train on dead maggots? It feels like I've been abusing Sakura all along, don't you say?! (Don't forget to pull me Minia at this time, is her fear of Nabal so great?!) ）

"Yes!" I nodded approvingly. "Mr. Nabal, it feels like you're just bullying Asa every day."

"What do you know?!" Nabal lay down in a rocking chair to the side. After taking a sip of wine, he said nonchalantly, "He's just a piece of waste!" ”

“……”

"Mr. Nabar!" Unlike Minia, who was too afraid to question out of fear, I strengthened my tone with some irritation, "Asa is not a waste! Please don't say that! He worked hard! ”

"Try to have a fart! Sakura, bring that plate of sausage! Nabal commanded without hesitation, and then said, "Do you think he's useful?" A half-fool is nothing! "That waste" he picked up a slice of sausage and threw it into his mouth, and then took a sip of wine, "Isn't that waste good to be his magician?" What battle mages do you have to create yourself?! What a rubbish! ”

"Isn't a battle mage bad?!" Little Luca interjected suspiciously, "Luca, I married my disgusting brother, oh, the battle mage is very strong?!" ”

"Strong?! That's meeting you! Little fools! Alone with little Luca, Nabal was very kind and patient, "If you were really strong, your disgusting brother wouldn't have shrunk in a turtle shell during the battle with Minia!" ”

"Huh?"

"You don't have combat skills, and you want to participate in melee combat just by magic?! How can it be?! Once the magic fails, it's a waste! ”

Oh! This is, I remember that day in front of Frank, the sealed Asa could only hold up the cat bell and say.

It seems that little Luca and Minia have thought of it too, and they smile in unison.

"So, so you're going to train him in combat skills?" Minia frowned and asked suspiciously, "That's not right either!" I've never seen you teach dead maggots! ”

"Magician!" Nabal didn't answer directly, "I've always had a bad habit as a magician...... It should be said that the habit developed from the beginning of learning magic must be cast safely, to avoid being interrupted during the chanting, Asa, this waste is indeed a way to create instant spells, but the most basic habit is still like that! Once attacked, the first thing that comes to mind is to escape! ”

"Oh......" I feel like I'm getting some of it.

"It's not a habit that is very obvious to the average opponent, and when he encounters a strong opponent who is difficult to subdue in a short period of time," Nabal continued, "the first thing that comes to his mind is how to make himself safe first!" So, once he started fighting Minia, he instinctively shrank into the turtle's shell! ”

"Then, Uncle Nabal, what's the use of beating your disgusting brother?!"

"Little one, I'm getting him used to fighting head-on! For those of us who are accustomed to frontal combat, it is necessary to find the flaws of the opponent and find a way to subdue the enemy in the encounter! Nabal smiled and explained to little Luca, "But the premise of everything must be to constantly attack, or to parry the enemy's attacks, in short, it must be constantly fighting, and an opponent like your disgusting brother who is always trying to dodge is the opponent that the swordsman likes." ”

"Oh! Then you're going to be"

"That's right, only by constantly fighting and being constantly attacked, that waste who claims to be a battle mage can get used to real frontal combat, otherwise, even if he teaches him combat skills, he won't use it!"

"But......" I hesitated again to ask Nabal, "but have you fought too hard?" Almost every day, Asa is about to be killed by you! ”

"I know it! He's never broken a bone in a few days, has he? ”

“……”

"You have to learn to be beaten before you beat someone, Sakura, although Thresteen was taught by you, his combat skills are much better than yours," Nabal smiled again and took a sip of wine, "On the one hand, that kid worked his own, and on the other hand, because he has been injured more than you, you should not have been injured yet, right?" ”

I couldn't help but nod a little ashamedly.

"If you don't experience, you won't improve if you don't experience, this sentence is appropriate anywhere, so taking a beating is the best training method for Asa, a waste who calls himself a battle mage!"

“……”

Shouldn't that person be beaten up too?

It felt like out of all the people present, my skills were the weakest.

Nabal is right, I have always been in charge of logistics in the Knights, and I don't have much opportunity to participate in actual combat.

Coupled with the fact that he usually fights against Lacey, he is always very careful not to hurt me......

"Sakura, you're the opposite of that shit!"

"Huh?"

"Sakura, the first thing you should learn is how to keep yourself safe! Listen to that crap say how many times you often go in a daze in battle? ”

"That's trying to change to what kind of Taoist technique......

"That's because the opponent doesn't want to kill you! Idiot! That waste is a mage who wants to be a swordsman, and you are a swordsman who wants to be a mage! Actually, I don't know what your Dao technique is all about...... It doesn't feel like it's the same as the Dao I've heard, but whether it's a spell or a Dao technique, the focus is on the spell! How to cast it safely! Do you understand?! ”

"Yes!"

"This happens to be the Academy of Magic, so let's learn more from those magic mentors!" Nabal turned his face to look at little Luca, who was eager to ask a question, "You also want to ask about ways to improve your strength, don't you?" ”

"Eun!" Little Luca nodded repeatedly, "Luca wants to know too!" ”

"Your approach is simple! Go and memorize your Gospel well! ”

"Ugh! Woo! How is this like this......" (To be continued......
