I wondered if Gaius, who harbored feelings of hatred toward the knights of the Migga Kingdom, would be okay to engage in a mock battle. Even though it is a wooden sword, it is still a weapon. There was a good chance that he might die if he was badly hit.
Frene reassured me as I stared at the two of them facing each other with a tense look on my face.
Lelunda, don't worry. If it really looks like it's not going to work, I'll use my magic to stop it.
I'll stop it with my magic. ......
Yes, I'm not the only one here. The most important thing to remember is that you can't let the world go by. But because Gaius is so important to me, my worry is stronger.
The mock battle began while I watched on edge. Once that mock battle started, the feeling of worry in me gradually became smaller and smaller.
It was because - it was clear that there was a difference in skill between Gaius and Mr. Sadnid.
Gaius is not using magic, and he is not in wolf form, so he is not at full strength. But Mr. Sadnid easily copes with Gaius, who is physically strong enough even in his beast form, as he moves toward him.
That may be the difference in experience. Even if you have a high physical ability, if you don't have enough skill to handle a weapon, you will probably end up like this against a person with skill.
I can use magic, but I also want to hone my skills so that I can handle a sword properly. Just being able to use it and being able to handle it are two different things.
By the way, Mr. Sadnid, you are amazing.
I have only seen the prince named Hiccup Migga, Sadnid's master, once. The prince I saw that time is the one to whom this Mr. Sadnid swears allegiance.
Looking at Mr. Sadnid, I wonder what kind of person the prince Hiccuped Migga actually is.
There is the sound of wooden swords clashing.
Gaius is moving toward Mr. Sadnid again and again. -I can tell by his expression that Gaius is really going at Mr. Sadnid in his beastman form.
I guess Mr. Sadnid has the skill, so there is no need to stop him.
The adults around him also seem to be watching as they are, thinking that there will be no problem even if Gaius is really going at it.
I wonder if the reason Gaius doesn't use magic here or take the form of a wolf is because he has managed to keep his hatred at bay with reason. ......
As we watch, Gaius' strength is running out.
The Sadnids, who are adults and are training, probably have more stamina than Gaius, who is still a child, even though he is a beastman.
I think it's time to take a break from ....... It must be hard on Gaius."
Sadnid-san lowers his wooden sword and calls out to Gaius.
Gaius looks up and looks at Mr. Sadnid at those words.
His voice sounded somewhat pained.
Sadnid stared back at Gaius.
Why are you such a ...... guy?
Why are you such a ...... guy?
You are the cause of my father's death! You are the knight of the Migga Kingdom who killed my father! Why are you being so nice to me? You could have killed me during the simulation if you wanted to! I wish you were ...... more of a jerk! Then you could have ...... killed me. Why, you didn't, ......."
Oh, Gaius is suffering. The reason why he has been looking so distressed lately is because of this.
But when you actually get in touch with him, he is a kind and not a nasty person,......, so he must have been in pain.
He wanted to kill her, but he couldn't hate Mr. Sadnid, who was still kind to him, even though he hated him.
I see. ....... Then, you can go ahead and kill him as many times as you want. I'm not complaining even if he kills me. I have no problem with being killed, but I'm not going to be killed by someone who seems to be in pain about killing me. That would not be good for Gaius.
What I did is irrevocable. All I can do is apologize. I'm really, really sorry."
"...... Don't apologize! If you're going to apologize, you shouldn't have done it. ...... Then you would still be with me!
The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you are doing and how to do it. Gaius does not do anything to Mr. Sadnid who shows his defenseless appearance.
Everyone who feels the same sadness and hatred toward such a figure of Gaius also has a sorrowful expression on their faces.
He says, "...... but I won't kill you! I'm not going to kill you because you won't come back and there's no point in killing you. Someday ...... I will be stronger than you. I will use you to become stronger than you!
...... yeah, I look forward to being stronger than me."
Sadnid nodded in agreement with Gaius' bitter words.
The hatred within everyone is not going to disappear, but perhaps the feeling will still be lightened a little by putting words to the person who took it from them.
As I watched Gaius and Mr. Sadnid, I was relieved that the worst had not happened.
After that, Gaius and Mr. Sadnid would have a mock battle every time he taught me how to use a sword.
