Chapter 22: Chapter 22 . Before the duel

Defeat Lucy.

I had such an unreasonable task, but first I had to learn how to use a spear at least.

　So...

"Lucy, I need you to teach me how to use a spear."

"------ would be nice, but I'm probably not very good with a spear."

I decided to learn from the best spearman I know.

My teacher is Schneizel, but now that he is away from home on business, Lucy is the only one I can rely on.

But still, I'm not good at it, and it's the first time I'm using a spear in my hand.

　It's a difference that really disgusts me.

---- I' m going to overcome that with my efforts from now on.

⚪️.

"------ no ,Relax."

"Like this?

"------, that's not right, either. Look, you're already in a weird position".

'Really?"

She asked me to check my spear stance, but it seemed that the bad habits of the past few days had already become ingrained in my body.

First, I had to correct it, and so I practiced my stance thoroughly.

　Lucy says that my body is very flexible.

On the other hand, she said that in this country, knights prefer to have a strong stance to serve as a shield for their master, not only for swords and spears, but also for all other weapons.

To protect and defeat the opponent without dying. The solid stance is powerful when used by a person of superior physique, but it does not fit the type of person like me.

-----"-Drop the stiffness. It only makes the soft body look dull."

It's a difficult thing to do.

　It's not just a matter of mastering the kata.

　The best movement for each individual, this is something that has not been touched on in the game.

　The fighter hold their spears and strike them dozens and dozens of times.

It may seem like just repetitive practicing, but if you put your whole heart and soul into it, no two moves are ever the same.

　What went wrong in the last strike?

　How will they move their bodies this time?

　Should the weight be placed on the axis foot, the step, and the rotation of the hips, and should the arms be fully extended, or should they be left a little loose?

The same strike can be done in a variety of ways.

Just as Saraswati was searching for the right approach for herself, I am searching for the best in my training.

　Well, in my case, it is easier than Saraswathi. After all, I have an example to follow.

　I have an ideal in my mind.

　The gem of a strike that Lucy had shown me.

　I release the power from the weakness, and as if tracing the flash that was released with super-acceleration...

"Like this?"

　After several hundred attempts, I felt the hand holding the spear tremble with a slight response.

'------ a little bit, better"

"Yo, shucks."

　The knights who were watching my training around me could also be heard letting out exclamations of admiration.

The sense of accomplishment filled my chest.

The body, which had been squeezed down to the last drop of sweat, reached its limit and collapsed, and I rolled onto the ground in a heap.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!"

What a blue sky to look up at, how beautiful it was.

　Someday I would like to use my spear to pierce even this piercing azure sky.

　---Ha-ha-ha.

　I wonder if this throbbing in my chest is the initial impulse of a warrior.

　If I am engulfed by this fever, I may become a fighting maniac.

'I'll do it again tomorrow."

"It's natural. I'd rather do it now."

　I want to move my body as soon as possible before I forget how it feels now.

But the body that has really been pushed to its limits has no strength left to wield the spear.

　So what should I do?

　Sleep? Rest? No way.

I got up slowly, drinking some water, and called Misha, who was waiting by my side.

'Please take it easy,"

　Misha said kindly to me as if she was trying to help me, and handed me a few books, parchment paper, and a quill pen.

　I sat down on the chair I had brought up here, picked them up, and began my studies.

First, I write down my impressions of the current training and what I've learned on the paper.

　I have learned since I started writing that I am the type of person who gains a deeper understanding of my opinions by putting them into words.

　So, with one hand reading a book and the other hand and one of my divided thoughts, I scribble words on the parchment.

"---What's this?"

　Yes,.

I will be a weirdo if I set up a desk and a chair in the practice area and start studying, right?

　And I think it's odd behavior, like writing letters while reading a book.

Lucy, who was peeking in from the side, was frowning.

'I'm reviewing my current workout and reading a book that describes spears in detail."

'-- can you get that into your head?"

"I couldn't at first, but after a few months of practice, I could get into it. It's confusing sometimes, but now I can afford to have a conversation like this."

"I see."

　Lucy nodded with a curious look on her face.

　"What, wait? Don't imitate me, okay?"

If a genius starts doing ordinary people's works, I won't stand a chance, you know.

　And so I continue to study and train in magic until I recover from my physical fatigue.

I am not just doing this in the blind, either.

　When my body starts to move again, I load up so that my mental fatigue builds up to the limit and switch up my training without wasting even a single second.

　I don't waste even a second.

I probably have the same physical ability as anyone else, and right now I'm acting like a prodigy with the advantage of my body, but eventually my brain will settle down to the same level as anyone else's. That's why I don't waste any time.

　So, I'm going to make the best use of it.

In the shortest and fastest way possible, I will be stronger.

⚪️.

After a day of training with Lucy, the hard training will begin again.

Rather, this is where the real deal begins.

To fight Lucy, I can' t win if I learn and grow according to her instructions.

　If I don't become stronger than that genius expects, my spear will break without reaching her. No doubt about it.

So, in the evening and at night, when Lucy is not watching, I wield the spear to further improve what I have learned during the day.

　I'm frustrated, too.

　I cried many times in Arcue.

Of course I have seen the scenario where Saraswati is not rewarded.

The emptiness of the moment when one's dreams are broken and one gives up.

I don't want to experience that now that I' ve discovered the joys of the spear.

Haha.

It's not enough ! I  need way more proactive

　 I reaches MY limit, pushes it away with MY spirit, goes over the limit, and even though legs are no strong enough, i uses one hand to support the spear and handles it with the other hand.

　Then, just before I passed out, I activated my magic until I ran out of magic power without wasting any more time, and my day was finally over.

After about a week of such routine, the day of the duel arrived .
