Chapter 114: Pair Training!
Chapter 114
After finding no one, Lefiya started daydreaming again.
"Lefiya, you got up earlier than me. I'm amazed that you decided to practice so early~"
"Hehe, there's no such thing, Ais-san~ I still have to work hard. These are all the things I should do. Anyway, please praise me more!"
Somewhere in the leisurely courtyard, there seems to be a pinkish atmosphere.
Lefiya was immersed in a mind-made delusion with a silly smirk on her face.
The naive elf thought it would be great if she could learn swordsmanship with Ais. In that case, there would be more opportunities for them to hang out.
The atmosphere of adoration was getting stronger and stronger…
But after thinking that Riveria's staff might fall on her head, Lefiya gave up this tempting idea. She didn't want to disappoint her respectable teacher.
When the yuri-elf came to the long corridor connecting the spires and looked at the lawn in the courtyard where the magic stone lamppost had been extinguished, she realized that it was still too early for Ais to arrive.
"Hmm… let's practice on my own first."
Lefiya was not discouraged. She comforted herself mentally and prepared to walk down the corridor.
But, at this moment, she caught a glimpse of two silent silhouettes out of the corner of her eyes.
Two figures were at the top of the towering building. The blond boy and girl jumped in the gap between the towers and left the manor in a tacit understanding.
"!!!"
"Ais-san and Sirius-san!! They…they!?"
Lefiya was shaken after accidentally discovering that they had sneakily slipped out of the headquarters without passing through the front gate.
But the next second, Lefiya sharpened her eyes, looking like a cat that found something fishy, and started following the two without any consideration.
On the darkness-filled street, the elf girl followed the back of the two sneaky people and shuttled through the buildings.
"Going north? Why?"
At first, Lefiya thought that the two would head to the dungeon, but she did not expect the direction that they were going was north.
But no matter what, Lefiya has to keep up! She will not allow Sirius to be alone with her beloved Ais!
After a while, the panting Lefiya lost sight of the two of them…
…
On the other side, the northern city wall,
From here, one can see the landscape of the inner city at a glance.
The sight of the vast and boundless city is dazzling.
The scenery in the early morning was naturally the night view of the city, with many magic lamps lit in many places.
Sirius and Ais arrived here one after another.
They came here with the purpose of training.
After returning home last night, Sirius made a special trip to Ais and asked her to train him in human warfare.
Ais agreed without hesitation.
Initially, an ideal teacher for Sirius was the three top executives of Loki Familia. After all, their fighting skills have been honed for a long time since Orario's dark period and are incomparable to that of later generations.
But the reality is that the big three are busy and don't have any extra time to teach.
Finn is in charge of the official affairs of the familia. Riveria helps him from time to time and focuses most of her time teaching Lefiya and Sirius, and Gareth manages and handles logistics.
Hence, none of the three has extra time to teach Sirius human warfare.
So, Sirius had no choice but to step back and find Ais.
As for why he didn't train in the familia courtyard, Sirius was afraid of disturbing others.
The training method that Sirius chose was simple and effective - actual combat.
Fighting against Ais with dull-bladed weapons is the best training for Sirius.
If Sirius fought Ais in the Twilight Manor, the sounds from the clashing blades would disturb everyone's sleep. Maybe the noises will even wake up Loki, and the annoyed goddess will punish him in a fit of anger.
What's more, most areas of Twilight Manor are occupied by buildings, and there is very little space for recreational activities. So it's challenging to train there with peace of mind with all these difficulties.
So, Sirius selected the remote part of the northern city wall as the place for training. Very few people are nearby, and only a few patrolmen occasionally pass by at a fixed time every day. This is an ideal place for personal training.
The main problem with Sirius is that his body can't keep up with the brain's judgment.
This is caused by a lack of experience and has nothing to do with stats.
Having power and effectively utilizing them are two different things.
Therefore, training is necessary for him!
Sirius wanted to build muscle memory in battle and gain experience fighting against humanoid enemies.
Sirius was confident that he could learn these things quickly with his skills.
…
The training immediately started after Sirius and Ais arrived at the place.
Afterward, Sirius faced the difference between himself and a first-class adventurer.
Ding! Ding!
Intense and sharp metal collisions resounded throughout the area, representing a high-speed battle between the duo!
Countless clashes between sword and spear even created some crisscross spark in the air.
Sirius and Ais had intense and violent collisions in the first two or three seconds.
Sirius was barely able to block Ais's attacks thanks to his intuition.
Even so, he couldn't keep up with the attack speed of the sword princess in front of him. There is a noticeable gap in their stats, making it difficult to withstand.
Every time he counterattacks, he slows down a bit, making it much more challenging to resist Ais's following attacks.
Clang!
Puff!
Ais's blade swayed the spear, and a huge flaw was placed in front of the girl's eyes.
The blond girl had no intention of giving up this opportunity. She didn't slash at him with her sword but mercilessly side-kicked him.
Sirius flew out and crashed into the wall.
From the very beginning, although he knew that Ais would definitely not use her full strength, he never thought about defeating her.
He just wanted to find out how long he could be under her attacks.
But Sirius didn't expect to lie down so fast…
