Year 7446, Month 4, Day 29

"Did we make you wait?"

Myun said a bit apologetically.

"No, since we didn't specify a time. We were the ones who came early just in case so don't worry about it."

I use the spell {Light} on the rock I had in my hand lighting up the area before taking another look at Myun.

Myun is smiling with both of her hands on Ailado's shoulders.

In the day he has to do patrols and look after the training of the squires after all..I guess he can only find time late at night like this.

Year 7446, Month 4, Day 30

The next morning, soon after having breakfast mother threw Zetto and Becky into the lord's office room on the second floor in order to start magic training. It seems she wanted hear various stories from Miduchi and I but I said we can talk about that sort of stuff as much as she likes afterwards and had her do the magic training. During that time we went out to do some running and when we returned we showed sister-in-law Shani the spells {Predict.Weather} and {Detect.Life}, and brother the spell {Divination}. Sister-in-law Shani has aptitude with all elements of magic and her mana is just a bit higher than normal. Her skill levels including void magic were all level 4 and not very high(Since they're on the level of a full-fledged magician taking her age into consideration you could say they're decently high).

In regards to brother he has more mana than Miduchi. Even at longest if he practices for a few days he should be able to sue it. However, I told him he should make this into a trump card. Additionally I captured a random frog and showed off the spells {Flesh.To.Stone} and {Remove.Petrification} as well.

Incidentally, leaving brother and I who took showers to the side, Gwine and Angela came in the morning to invite Miduchi to the baths. In order to get off the sweat a shower is plenty but once you've entered a bath.

Today the squires that work on manufacturing rubber products are participating as well. The commoners and slaves who don't have a role as squires continue manufacturing the rubber products...Huh? Was the training of Bakuddo's squires always this easy? In the past I had the image of it being insanely harsh but...

"It seems you're unsatisfied."

Brother made a bitter smile while talking to me.

"No, not particularly, that sort of thing is.."

"It's not just you. If I look at everyone's faces I can tell. Don't put us together with first-rate adventurers who are challenging the dungeon everyday."

Brother shrugged his shoulders and raised his voice putting some fighting spirit into the squires.

"Hey, Whitney! You're posture no good! Al is laughing! In the past, didn't you teach Al the sword!"

I'm not laughing...

Even Gwine and angela who were the weaker members of the {Slaughterers} almost always gained complete victory against the squires. Of course, in terms of technique in using the spear or sword it self the squires are better. However, when it comes to the sharpness of thrusts and the control of body weight when switching from sweeps into attacks Gwine's tactics seem to have increased. Angela was being Angela as well, if she just goes on the defensive she's absurdly strong. Also, she's skilled at cooperating with the partner she teams up with and can skillfully break the opponents posture making it easier for that partner to attack.

While holding a wooden sword on guard I called out to brother.

After all brother was strong. Recently, even when in practice matches I rarely take any attacks. Very rarely it's at the level of being hit by Zenom's axe and even that's when there's more opponents and when the setting is that I'm alone protecting the rear. Even though that's the case, in this short period of time brother's wooden sword directly hit me. Even though it was one on one...Of course, almost all of mine, the attacks I made in which I was trying to hit landed but brother's level is only 11.

I've continued with my running as much as possible and I haven't neglected live combat either. Confessing it and one on one as long as the opponent isn't a monster, I even think I wouldn't take a direct hit so easily.

Of course, I wasn't letting my guard down from self-conceit either. There's no way I could let my guard down with that brother as the opponent. As proof of that other than that one hit I was able to either evade or parry them. Of course, not just Miduchi who was observing on the side, but Gwine and Angela were surprised as well. Around three years ago, the only one who saw the practice match against the first knight group was Angela but it seems even she thought I wouldn't take any attacks from brother with my growth.

Most likely, brother is making use of all of his ability levels. In addition to a natural talent with body balance and great effort that has never stopped he's making every bit of his bodies potential ability his own. Through training, I wonder if he's reached the realm of being able to freely remove the brains limiter on his power through willpower? No, Well, if you look at it objectively you still can't say anything but that it was overwhelmingly my victory.

However, at the same time I understood that I still have plenty of room to grow greatly as well. It's proof that starting with {Hyumu}'s the people of Orth, through talent, and depending on how they do it willpower and concentration, can pull out the potential of their bodies to their very limits.

Year 7446, Month 5, Day 1

In the morning the base of everyone's boots was completed. Just as expected of someone dragged out by brother, the shoe maker Baru was quite fast at doing his job, a skilled artisan. Gwine and Angela's protectors are almost completely already and just have several adjustments remaining. I'm sure we'll be able to depart the village tomorrow. When it comes to the rubber armor itself it's fine if we just wear it and the only real baggage we have is the boots. If we just hang a big bag from the saddlebag it should be fine. Even then if it gets difficult then it's just a matter of us taking turns getting off the horse and running. At the very least if we make it back to Doritto then the roads get quite a bit better after all.

She approached us with a rhythmical pace.

Even though she didn't have even a splinter of an impression to her but..I guessing people can change.
