Chapter 8 The Heart Wants to Be Stronger

A few days later, there was a sound of swords and halberds intertwining in the alley. If a good doer looks over, he will find a young man instructing a young girl in the martial arts. However, it is a pity that in this country, the sound of swords and halberds in small alleys is simply commonplace, and no one is curious about this kind of thing.

So any alley is a safe place to practice martial arts, at least ...... Leah thinks so.

Qiang - !!

With a crisp sound, the short sword in the girl's hand spun and landed not far behind her.

"Your movements are too monotonous, Lord Leah, keep moving!"

The person who knocked Lori's weapon flying is Alec, who is teaching Leah swordsmanship.

"I'm already moving, I mean ......"

Leah rubbed her wrist, although Alec was full of respect for her, but when it came to training, it was definitely very strict.

"You mean a retreat? It's too monotonous, my lord. You'll need to constantly change your footwork, and you can use it as a fulcrum for dodging or even attacking in a forward, backward, left, right, or even diagonal direction. ”

Alec shook his head.

"Uh......h I see. So...... Go ahead......"

Little Lori nodded, then picked up the dagger and looked at Alec and said.

So a few minutes later......

Qiang - !!

There was another crisp sound, and the dagger spun again and landed on the ground.

"You're moving too much again. Even if I don't do anything, you'll exhaust yourself to death. ”

Alec shook his head.

"Ahh......h

Leah sighed in frustration, but she picked up her sword anyway.

"Honestly, you are a powerful mage. But as a fighter, there is still too little experience. And...... Why did Miss Leah suddenly learn swordsmanship at this time?"

Alec asked.

"To make yourself stronger, of course. ”

Leah tells the knight about the Elemental Fusion. Little Lori can overdraw future experiences through time magic. However, not to mention the March Rabbit mode, where you can use time magic at will, if she can't master swordsmanship as the sword of the cang. It is necessary to sacrifice the location of solidified magic to the sharing of future experiences all the time. This was definitely not what Leah was hoping for, so she decided to learn swordsmanship from Alec, and even better if she could, even her fighting skills.

"I see. Unfortunately, this is not the Demon Martial Academy. In order for you to have combat effectiveness in the fastest time, I can only teach you the necessary skills with actual combat. It can be hard work, and you have to be mentally prepared. ”

Alec said.

"Yes. ”

Leah nodded, then raised the sword in her hand.

"Come on, then!"

Alec also took a stance and motioned for Leah to move forward......

Just when little Lori and Alec were practicing swordsmanship. Far away in another alley, there are also two young girls who are working hard.

"Yes, exactly. Keep your weight on your feet, don't shake your arms, and breathe evenly. ”

At this time, Eve was maintaining a bow drawing motion, and Anya put her hands on her body to help her correct her posture when archery. The elves are all excellent marksmen, and even if Anya's best weapon is the long whip, she also has excellent qualities as a marksman.

"Alright. That's it, let go!"

Following Anya's instructions, the goddess released her fingers that were firmly gripping the arrow. With a beautiful arc, the arrow accurately hit the bullseye painted on the wall.

"It's great. Hit!"

The goddess jumped for joy.

"Come again!"

Perhaps inspired by her success, she pulled out her next arrow and said on the string.

“......”

Yet for some reason. This time, the dark elves didn't point her out.

"Anya?"

Eve tilted her head.

"I'm sorry, but I walked down. ”

Anya said apologetically.

"What's upset? ”

Eve said.

"Yes. Actually......"

Anya voiced the doubts in her heart. She didn't understand why the goddess wanted her to teach archery. Logically speaking, as the goddess of creation. Evette is supposed to be omnipotent. And in fact, being able to fight against Yuhime itself shows the strength of the goddess, which is a powerful force that does not need to be compensated for by the archery skills of the elves.

"Powerful...... ......"

Hearing Anya's words, the goddess smiled bitterly.

"Actually, I'm not strong at all, Anya. ”

"Huh?"

Faced with Eve's answer, the dark elf girl was stunned.

"Ah...... Maybe that's not accurate, in terms of strength, no, I should say that in terms of energy, I am indeed stronger than all of you, even Leah now.

However, I don't know how to fight at all. I hate fighting, and I hate learning to fight, and I would rather see everyone on the continent live a peaceful life than killing. ”

"I see, I kind of get it. ”

Anya heard Eve's words, and nodded.

The reason why she felt that the goddess was powerful was entirely because of that overwhelming power, just like a battle-hardened boxing master facing a giant, even if the giant didn't know any fighting methods, as long as he raised his feet, he could step on a piece of tissue paper. However, Yu Ji is different, the other party is also a god, so the battle has risen from a boxer and a giant to a giant who knows how to punch and a giant who can't box. The ending is obvious......

"During Ragnarok, I couldn't help everyone, and as a result, Leah left, and the world was almost destroyed. Frankly...... I regret it too. Especially when I saw Leah now, that child actually wanted to live as an ordinary mage, but for my sake and for the sake of the world, she made the decision to face everything as a goddess. So I have to fight! No matter how much I hate killing, no matter how much I hate destruction, I have to fight!"

Speaking of this, the goddess raised her head with a resolute expression on her face.

"I see, I see. ”

Although she was surprised that the goddess was not good at fighting, Anya nodded admiringly looking at the momentum that Eve showed.

"So, go ahead, I've memorized the way I shot just now, and I don't like fighting, but learning is my forte. ”

The goddess raised her small fist and said with an imposing attitude.

"Well, then repeat the previous way of shooting a thousand times. ”

Anya smiled and nodded.

"Huh!?"

Eve's smile froze.

"It's not enough to memorize with your head. You know, it's a stationary target. It is necessary to be able to memorize it completely in the body, and without any thinking, it is only necessary to be able to immediately shoot an arrow like that if you grasp the bow. For this, a lot of practice is necessary. Come on, start by drawing the bow a thousand times. ”

"Ahh!!h

Accompanied by Anya's words, the screams of the girl came from the alley......

While Eve was "enjoying" the hell of drawing the bow a thousand times, Leah and Alec's practice was gradually coming to an end.

"That's it for today, you can see that your mind can't keep up with the rhythm. ”

Alec said as he looked at Leah, who was kneeling on one knee and supporting her body with her short sword stuck in the ground, panting incessantly.

"Well, so be it. ”

Through the training of simulated actual combat, Leah has learned a lot of things, but with the acquisition of a lot of experience, her thinking gradually began to be confused, and the things she learned are too many but not precise, and the actual combat will affect her judgment, she needs to calm down and digest this knowledge well.

"So...... Go back, Alex. ”

Leah drank a bottle of stamina potion and said.

"Lord Leah, I have a request. ”

At this time, Alec said.

"Huh?"

"Before I go back, I hope to be able to fight Leah-sama with all her might. ”

Alec said.

"Huh, why?"

Little Lori tilted her head.

"I claim to be Lord Leia's sword, but both in the face of Yuhime and the rebels of the kingdom have put Lord Leia in danger several times. So I have to be strong, and for that, strong opponents are necessary. ”

The knight looked at the girl and said seriously.

"Alec ......"

Leah was a little surprised, she never thought that Alec would blame himself for these things, after all, it was force majeure. However, looking at the knight's expression, she understood that the other party was serious.

"I see. So ......"

The azure light bloomed, and the little Lori turned into the sword of the blue, and she raised the spatial blade that could cut everything off, and rushed towards Alec.

[Well...... Unilaterally abused for so long...... It's okay to go a little too far. 】

For a moment, she thought.

So for the next hour she beat the poor knight to the ground. (To be continued.) )
