"Very well, so you're a level 2 assassin. top.”

"yes, it seems that it is impossible to reach level 3 before the game. Zero casually waved Ai Xue's knife and made a gorgeous move.

"Everything has to be done gradually, it's not realistic for you to think like that. But I didn't expect you to be a summoned beast, she told you about you when I was asked by that guy from Rhine before. With terrifyingly high defense and physique, this is an excellent talent for those who practice martial arts. ”

"But maybe that's what makes my workouts so ineffective. Zero summed up his recent situation. Despite training every day that is several times higher than usual, Zero knows that his progress is not fast.

In this class, the training plan is different from person to person because of the different levels. However, Zero will always continue to practice after class, and he doesn't need to eat anyway.

"Speaking of which, why would you choose a weapon like a fruit knife instead of a dagger or something?"

"I think it's more comfortable. Besides, this doesn't look like a murder weapon, didn't you say that an assassin's weapon should always be hidden before attacking? Of course, this is just a cover-up, Zero clearly remembers what the mysterious woman said, it was a murderous weapon, and special powers were lodged on it. The handle and blade of the iron knife are one, and the blade is split on one side, which is exactly the shape of a fruit knife. Zero had secretly tried to use a knife to cut the blade of a standard longsword, although it didn't have the effect of sharpening iron like clay, but it would definitely not be this knife that curled the blade, this thing didn't look like it was made of iron at all. Anyway, Ai Xue didn't need it, so she borrowed this thing herself.

"It's so late, is it okay for you not to eat?" Zero thought of the old lady Rhine.

"With my words, even if you don't eat anything for 3 days, it's perfectly fine. A good Assassin always had to have enough endurance, and sometimes he might stay put still for more than 1 day for the sake of an opportunity. Teacher Eve explained.

"Why don't you go back first, I'm going to practice a little longer. ”

I started to review the basic moves I have learned in the last few days. Holding the knife in his backhand, Zero ran with his center of gravity lowered. The constant swing, the closing momentum, and the S-shaped movement made Eve very pleased to see it.

"I don't know how far this kid will go in the future. ”

――――――――――I'm a regular divider da☆ze――――――――――

"By the way, starting tomorrow, the whole school will have a three-day holiday, and there will be a freshman competition. Lena said coldly.

"We found out at least 5 days ago......" Zero gave Lena a blank look.

"No, I only heard from the teacher today. ”

"Teacher Eve, I asked earlier. Zero said, "The first two days are mainly to prepare the second-year students thoroughly, and it will take time to set up the protective barrier of the venue. On the third day, it's time for the official competition. Second-year students are also called freshmen like us, after all, most of the students who have failed to pass the course have been eliminated. The winner of the competition has the right to decide the destination of the study trip. ”

"Well, even though the students' abilities were quantified in the first-year entrance exam, it was inevitable that there would be remarks such as 'even if he is stronger and faster than me, but not as good as me'. The academy prohibits students from dueling in private, and students also need a place to release stress and resentment. Lower-level students can learn a lot of things that they can't usually learn in battles with higher-level students. There is only one rule and you can't kill your opponent. However, there will definitely be high-level priests and water magicians invited by the academy near the ring, as long as it is not a case of instant death such as a heart piercing or a headshot, it can be cured. Karen's explanation further.

"In other words, we'll be there next year, right?"

"The premise is that we all have to pass the guò entrance exam, but I think we'll be fine. "Karen is quite confident.

"How can you miss such a good opportunity, let's go to the city together in the past two days, when I first came, I didn't have time to turn around because of the rush of time. After that, let's go to the game together, although the teacher said a lot in class, but I don't know how to use magic in actual combat. Lena's eyes lit up.

"Hmm. Everyone agreed with her, and even Icarus, who was usually reticent, nodded.

The next day, in front of a huge and ancient stone building:

"Is this the famous 'Twilight'?" said Kalian.

"It seems that it is right, the best weapons and armor shops in the country, with all kinds of goods, at least of medium and upper quality, most of them are made by famous artists, some expensive alchemy items are also sold, and sometimes they even happen to catch up with the 'failed works' of the workshop. Lena stared at the sign on the gate, unable to contain her excitement. The sign is different from the traditional weapon shop pù, with a long sword and a musket crossed by each other, and two crystal balls on the left and right, symbolizing the power of martial arts, technology and magic, symmetrical and beautiful.

"I've heard about it for a long time, but this is the first time I've actually been here. With the exception of the masters, all the craftsmen in the kingdom want their creations to be displayed here for selection. ”

"Aren't you a magician, how can you know so much about this?" asked Karen.

"That's what my family does...... Didn't I tell you that my father was a blacksmith?"

"No ......"

"Well, it looks like I forgot, it seems that I only told Ai Xue. Lena scratched her head in embarrassment.

"It's all here with dry hair! Why don't you hurry in! Don't you want to go and see it for a long time? In the end, Zero came up with a constructive proposal.

"yes, haha. ”

It seems that because of the approaching event, many students crowded at the door, and only 20 people were allowed to enter the store at the same time, and only one person could enter one when they came out.

Fortunately, it was early enough, and all 5 people waited for a long time before they all went in.

On one side of the shop are a variety of weapons such as swords, greatswords, daggers, swords, and battle axes, as well as armor and shields, and the metal parts are shining, and the non-metal parts such as sword handles and leather armor are also shiny.

Zero casually picked up a dagger with a sapphire handle and threw it into the air. Two weeks later, the backhand was steady.

"This beautiful young lady, if you like, only 20 gold coins. ”

"Is there anything practical?" The mass of this thing is not evenly distributed, and it is estimated that only nobles who like to prop up the façade will buy this thing. Although Zero and Ai Xue can't afford anything here, it's not illegal to look at it, is it?

"You're really someone with a vision, come and see this. The clerk pulled out another dagger from the counter behind him, this one looked much more earthy and decorated at all.

"For 30 gold coins, Master Lem's masterpiece is yours. ”

"Forget it......" Although the feel is much better than the one just now, I actually already have a more comfortable weapon. Besides, the name of the master reminded Zero of a disgusting gelatinous creature.

Others are also looking at things on different shelves.

"Tell the way, you can't afford to delay our time!" suddenly a voice came from the door.

Then, the tall black-haired boy in front pulled the short black hair in the back and squeezed into the outlet.

"Sorry, borrowed it. "The person who was being pulled kept apologizing to his surroundings.

All the students present also discovered that these two people were none other than Carl and Ahler, who had been qualified to skip a grade in the placement test.
