“————”

It's still.

Time, standing still.

Ace looked at the tip of the sword that was stabbing at her, and her pupils, which had been shrunk, shrank again.

"Ace!"

It seemed that someone was shouting Ace's name, and her voice was full of panic.

Hearing this voice, Ace finally reacted, and her pupils, which were about to shrink to the size of a pinpoint, suddenly burst into sharp colors.

"Boom!"

The wind that wrapped around Ace's body exploded, turning into a substantial shockwave that swept everything around her.

Rig felt an unrivaled force coming from the front, and he was blown away and slammed into the courtyard wall.

"Ahem...!"

Lig, who had a pain in his back, involuntarily coughed up all the air in his lungs.

And the wind on his body, under the collision of Ace's wind, was directly blown away, causing De Lige to bear a wave of impact, and his whole body hurt terribly.

"Y-Are you alright?"

Ace froze for a moment, rarely panicked.

Not only Ace, but even everyone watching the battle couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Something's wrong!"

Theona screamed.

"It's all your fault! What did you just shout? ”

Tiogne slapped Theona hard and accused.

The person who just called Ace was Diona.

If it weren't for Diona's shout, Ace wouldn't have subconsciously moved seriously.

"People can't help but speak out when they see Ace being stabbed!"

Theona clutched her slapped head, arguing with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Stupid Amazon!" Bert suddenly scolded: "Ace uses magic, and she is protected by the "wind", how can that kid's sword stab Ace?" ”

Indeed, even if Ace didn't detonate the wind on her body just now and repelled Riege, there was a high probability that Riege's attack would not be able to bring any substantial results.

The protection of [Wind Spirit Swift Walking] will protect the user's body, and even if Riege's sword pierces it, most of them can only be blocked by the "wind" on Ace's body.

So, the sound of Theona screaming was completely superfluous.

"I'm sorry..."

Theona seemed to realize this, and muttered embarrassed and guilty.

"Alright, don't be stunned." Finn stopped the argument and said, "Let's go and see how the newcomer is doing." ”

With that, Finn jumped directly from the window, completely ignoring the fact that the place he was in was a tower dozens of meters high.

"Really, one or two are still so frizzy."

Grace scolded and jumped down.

Riveria was already one step ahead.

Seeing this, Bert, Diona, and Thiogne followed one after another, jumping from the tower into the atrium one after another.

Loki was the only one left, with one foot on the window edge, looking like she was about to jump, until she saw the ground far away from her, the corners of her mouth twitched, pretending to be nothing, and quietly retracted her legs.

"Forget it, as long as Finn and Riveria are here."

The main god who sealed the divine power wisely avoided the fate of landing on the spot into a box.

As a result, the first-level adventurers of the Loki clan entered the atrium one after another and gathered around Rig.

"Are you alright?"

Riveria was the first to step forward, and as she lifted Rig up, she held out a hand and pressed it on Rig's body, as if checking for something.

“...... I'm sorry. ”

Ace also stepped forward, looking at Riege, who was not very steady, with his head bowed and his face full of frustration, like a child who had done something wrong.

Even Tiona apologized, looking at Rige's eyes full of apologies.

"Ahem..."

Li Ge coughed a few more times, took a light breath, and felt the pain in his chest and back subside, before he glanced around at the group of first-level adventurers present and shook his head.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Li Ge's words made everyone observe his face a little, and only after finding that there was indeed no big problem, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay." Finn seemed to want to pat Rieg on the shoulder, but found that his hand couldn't reach anyone at all, so he had to give up and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the "wind" helped you offset some of the impact, otherwise, you might have to lie in bed for a few days before you can get down." ”

"You're going to be too messy." Grace looked like he was blowing his beard and glaring, and snorted coldly: "It's okay to fight a little, but you still really want to hack your fellow relatives to death?" ”

"Indeed." Riveria frowned and said, "Ace, you overreacted, you should reflect on it." ”

"Hmm—" Ace's head suddenly lowered lower, and her expression became more depressed.

"It's none of Miss Ace's." Li Ge had completely relieved himself, and when he saw Ace's dejected look, he defended him and said, "I wanted to fight Miss Ace myself, and it was natural for her to fight back." ”

"Even then, you're too much." Theogne sighed and said, "I almost thought you were fighting for the real thing, it reminds me of something unpleasant that happened in my hometown." ”

"That's it." Theona nodded in agreement.

She was just frightened, remembering some past that she didn't want to remember, so she couldn't help but make a sound.

Therefore, if you really want to think about it, in fact, all this is also Riege's own pot, too immersed in the battle, and too much belief in Ace's strength, so that a competition that should have been a greater communication nature has gradually evolved in the direction of serious fighting, which can really be regarded as self-inflicted.

"It's my problem." Li Ge naturally knew this, knowing that he had done too much first, and looked at Ace with a frustrated face, and immediately comforted: "Please stop blaming yourself, in the end, it's all my fault, you are just defending yourself, and you haven't done anything wrong." ”

Hearing Riege's words, Ace nodded, but she still looked a little depressed, which made Rieg feel a little guilty.

However, before Rieg could persuade Ace, Bert's voice interjected.

"What are you going to do with that level of triviality? Shouldn't it be the process of the confrontation that just happened? Bert looked at Rig like a lone wolf threatening something, and said, "I ask you, boy, are you really the favor you received three days ago?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Rig in unison.

Including Ace, who was still depressed, seemed to attach great importance to this topic, and also raised her head and looked over.

Li Ge was stunned for a moment, then understood something, nodded his head, and said, "Yes, I received the favor three days ago. ”

This sentence was exchanged for Bert's merciless rebuttal.

"Who are you fooling?" Bert scolded and said, "Do you want to say that it only took three days for you to grow to this point?" Listen to what the hell you're out there! ”

Bert's meaning is obvious, he just doesn't believe that Rigg can grow so fast.

And that's a matter of course.

"Looking at what you did just now, even if you don't count the blessings brought by Ace's magic, it is conservatively estimated that you should have one or two items with basic abilities that have reached the D stage or even the C stage, right?"

Finn thoughtfully calculated the approximate value of Riege's ability with great accuracy.

"Is it possible that there is more than one basic ability at least in stage D?" Grace muttered to himself, "Good fellow, it seems like it took us almost a year to grow up to this stage, right?" ”

"The fastest among us should be Ace." Riveria glanced at the puppet's girl and said, "But it took about half a year for Ace to do so. ”

"Huh?" Theona was surprised: "Doesn't that mean that the rookie little brother took three days to compare to Ace's original half a year's efforts?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly stopped talking.

Ace, in particular, stared at Rieg tightly, as if she was particularly concerned about it.

Li Ge could only bathe in the eyes of everyone with different colors, and smiled slightly bitterly in his heart.

Of course, he knew why the crowd reacted so violently.

You know, it took so long for Ace to reach her stage in the first place, let alone someone else.

And it only took me three days to have this result, which is really hard to accept.

You know, Ace is the fastest world record holder to reach Lv.2, and when she was only eight years old, it took only one year to successfully upgrade to a high-level adventurer.

Such Ace's talent, even if it is said to be the best in the world, is not an exaggeration at all.

But Rieg showed a talent far beyond Ace, and it was still so much exaggerated, so exaggerated, everyone would be so incredulous, it was completely normal.

However, Rieger really didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

After all———

"The protagonist of the original book only took about a month to successfully upgrade, and at Lv.1, every time I update my ability value, I can comprehensively increase my proficiency by a few hundred points at a time, so what am I?"

Because of this, every time Loki doubts his own growth, Rige alone thinks it's nothing big at all.

What the protagonist of the original book can easily do after he opens the hanging, he just does the same thing, what is the fuss?

That is, in this world, if you change to another world, it is not uncommon to grow faster than this, and even achieve a monster that has reached the sky in one step and reached the top overnight.

Therefore, Rieg really didn't feel anything, and his mind was very calm and calm.

"You can ask Loki if there was nothing on her back when I received the favor from her three days ago, she knows best."

Hearing this, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and then they all turned around and went to the divine room.

"Come on, too!"

"I'm going to see if that's true."

The Amazon twin sisters grabbed Rig on one side and dragged him inside.

Ace followed behind, her steps extremely determined.

Seeing this, Rieger immediately understood.

"Looks like I'm going to have a goof."
