Chapter 86. Presence of War (2)
Actually, when I took it, I intentionally adjusted my sense of taste to temporarily dull my sense of taste and tricked myself into eating it.
Seeing the reactions of the two, it must have been bitter.
“Still, it’s better for you two to eat. Kania-nee's one doesn't taste better.”
The way to comfort people is to let them know that there are people who are more miserable than them.
Both of them are making faces of disbelief.
“It's not tastier than this...
” “It's not something people will eat.”
What do you think of my elixir?
Sister Kania is drinking mustard while crying half way through an elixir that tastes even worse than that one.
Because the level I have already reached is on a different level from Asha and Seina, I don't even get a message from most weaklings.
I didn't want to eat it at first because my sister's personality had such a terrible taste.
“If you don't eat, I'll cover your nose and open your mouth to force you in.”
When this younger brother suggested that he kindly feed him himself.
Still, she eats as if she wanted to protect her dignity as an older sister.
In fact, even if it doesn't taste good, the effect is awesome.
It is a leap that I recreated by collecting all the memories of my previous life.
They also know that there is no luxury greater than this, so in the end they endure.
“To be strong after taking medicine... I'm a little worried about whether it's okay to be like this as a knight.”
In particular, since the effect is so good that the person himself can feel it the most, Asha seems to be feeling a little complicated.
The common sense of the knights here is honest and ignorant training to increase their strength is a virtue.
It seems that Asha, who is already sincere, is a little bothered.
“no way? Wouldn’t it be better to just become stronger?”
Seina, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have any hesitation.
Since you were born as a mercenary, you must be well aware that becoming stronger by any means is directly related to survival.
It's not about who is right or wrong.
I approached Asha and patted her on the back.
There are good things to say in times like these.
“Asha’s world has three conditions to become strong.”
“yes?”
I said, raising three fingers.
“Tempap. medicine tooth. Talent.”
Of course you must have all three.
One thing alone will never reach the state.
Since I've been reincarnated a hundred times, I know the truth very well.
Sincerity? Fuck them all and eat them.
“The important thing is that when you have power, you should never hesitate when any means comes rolling. What do you mean by chance? The grumpy guy who won't come back if
you kick him.” My grace that you enjoy as if it's for granted.
In general, even if you roll around for the rest of your life, you won't enjoy it.
“When you get power, get it somehow. Otherwise, you will regret it later.”
“Is that so…
Asha pondered over something at my advice, and then nodded, saying, “Okay.”
“Now, if you take the medicine, circulate the mana in your body right away while the medicine remains.”
Feeding the elixir and then circulating the qi within the body using the training method taught to activate the qi vein and increase the storage capacity of the qi within the danjeon.
Indeed, it is natural that the original energy circulates as if I have practiced diligently according to my instructions.
Still, our knights faithfully follow my advice.
I'm kind of happy.
Train them, feed them elixirs, and guide them.
This alone enhances their skills.
‘Yeah, it's gotten better.'
At least before the war starts, I plan to jump over one by one.
Like my older sister, it's impossible to reach the sword master level in time, but I'm about to force myself to at least the end of the Aura Expert level.
It is also necessary for them.
I don't know how the war will turn out, but I don't want them to be sacrificed by participating.
I, too, continue to read war history books and continue to read war records within the kingdom.
It's like hard work for me, who is fundamentally lazy, but I can't compromise on this.
It is not that there is no war experience.
I've been tediously building it all my life.
So, I can say this with certainty.
How to wage war comfortably?
That is to be thoroughly prepared.
If you prepare perfectly without any leaks, you can win just by lying down and sleeping.
It's the law that you have to do when you're a sloth pro.
The happy elixir-taking time is over.
Now that you've eaten, you have to digest it, right?
I ordered the two of them to fight again.
Aside from improving their internal skills, it was necessary to instruct the two of them in their martial arts one by one.
“Arell?”
“Sena why? Do you have any questions?”
This is the first time Seina has asked something before sparring.
“Is this... is it true that I have to keep wearing this armor?”
“Oh was that it?”
What did you question?
On the other hand, Seina's feelings were understandable.
Now she has a complete full plate set from neck to toe.
The armor is attached without a single gap.
In addition, thick iron plates were applied to the arms and legs, not the usual equipment.
Put on the armor and save her fighting skills.
That's the task I gave to Seina and Asha, respectively, with the policy set to develop them while maintaining their existing styles, so even now, I struggled to preserve their styles and chose the current training method.
However, Seina complained that it was frustrating.
“Honestly, it’s frustrating.”
“I know it's frustrating, but you'd better get used to it.”
Basically, Seina prefers fighting and memorization. That's why I preferred light equipment on my body, and I didn't wear armor other than the minimum necessary.
In addition, perhaps because he is from a family of mercenaries, he is also good at traps and general articles that he would not use.
It can be said that it is quite a different way for knights.
If it was a simple escort, the previous methods would not be a problem.
That's why I've been teaching Seina the steps and martial arts I know, mainly arranging them to suit her style.
“I understand your method, but it's quite unsettling on the battlefield.”
You don't know when to attack with magic, and you don't know where arrows will fly from.
Or a melee like many-on-one is also basic.
In such a situation, the presence or absence of armor is an important factor.
The most desirable thing would be for Seina to use a normal knight's strategy using a sword and shield, but teaching it now would be halfway.
He judged that it was rather poisonous to hold a sword against her, who had fought so well with his fists until now.
“Put on your armor and adapt.”
“But… it’s stuffy and heavy.”
It looked genuinely cumbersome.
The reason Seina is being pushed behind by Asha these days is because she can't adapt to the weight of her armor.
“Is this kind of armor a useful sword in combat?”
“Don't worry about that. I'm not going to go out wearing that in practice.”
Of course, I had already thought of all the equipment to give her for war.
It's actually a secret, but in the meantime, I gave Seina something heavy and thick on purpose.
It is intended to make them accustomed to inferior armor and give them something better in practice.
“Am I for the same reason?”
Asha, who was silent, also asked if she thought this was a good opportunity.
“huh. Of course, Asha, you are different from Seina.”
Asha has been wearing the armor steadily, so there is no need to adapt to the armor now.
In addition, she is a style that faithfully learns and reproduces the spearmanship taught in the kingdom from the beginning.
Task 1 I gave her instead?
“...To fight Seina with a wooden spear... What
she holds in her hand is not the spear she uses, but a wooden spear of the same length.
And behind her, there are already several broken wooden spears piled up.
I was afraid that what she was holding now would break at any moment.
I smiled bitterly and threw a new wooden spear at Asha.
“Strengthen that wooden spear with an aura so it won’t get damaged even if it collides with iron armor.”
“...It's difficult.”
“Of course it is difficult.”
If it's easy, I won't even tell you to practice.
If you hit it with a sword, you should call it a sword.
Not only does she increase her power by simply covering her weapon with an aura, but she also strengthens her spear itself.
“If you don’t know the trick, refer to Seina’s method.”
For reference, the way Seina usually strengthens her handcuffs and greaves is similar to that.
In actual combat, as they clashed their fists directly, it was natural that the handcuffs would end once the handcuffs were cut.
Anyway, that's what Asha needs.
The window itself is also used a lot by knights.
Basically, a spear with superior reach is a better weapon than a sword.
In a fight between two knights of the same skill, the spear would theoretically prevail.
Of course, there are variables, so in practice, the results are different depending on the case.
Like Seina, I taught her improved spearmanship, and what was needed was to keep the spear as long as possible and use it for a long time.
Only the elements necessary for war are thought of and taught.
Because they understood my intentions, they faithfully followed them.
‘Come to think of it, selecting those two... might have been a good thing.'
Watching them sparring, I thought blankly.
At the time, I didn't even consider all of this.
A personality that will never betray me.
....and snobbish but looks.
To be honest, the possibility of development was the third priority.
It was because I was confident that I would make a decent master no matter how talented I was.
However, as a result of some coincidence, the two are different from each other, and each of them also has a necessary side.
Wouldn't it be okay as a colleague or competitor?
There are also talents in both.
Because of bad luck or because the environment did not support it, it stayed where it was until now, or it just did not develop in the future.
With just a little bit of my hand, my skills are growing.
Come to think of it, it seems that only those with strange circumstances gather, just like Dia.
Seriously, if you think about it, there's nothing strange about it.
Originally, what I put the most priority on was the uprightness of the soul, that is, character.
It might be natural for people with a little unusual circumstances to gather because they wanted people with more unusual souls than others.
Am I in a position to say something special about them?
Isn't he a pro in his previous life who lived over a hundred lives?
‘If I say it, it won't be reasonable.'
So it wouldn't be a coincidence.
It's just an inevitability that I created.
I think so.
With that certainty, I keep following their movements with my eyes.
* * *
The tenth day after entering the full-scale map.
Compared to 10 days ago, the movements of the two have definitely improved as if they were different people.
At first, Seina, who was at a loss for what to do with the heavy armor and dulled senses, moved swiftly with no significant difference from when she was bare-body.
Even though Asha is also a wooden spear, it never hurts even if it collides with Seina's hard handcuffs.
As of today, she hadn't even broken a wooden spear.
“Congratulations to both Asha and Seina. With this, both of you will surely become stronger than before.”
However, the two of them look dumbfounded as if they don't really realize it.
