Litty, trains in the Martial Guild

“So there are only six of you today.”

The apprentices, who had announced they were quitting, were really not present the next day. Duggam showed no significant reaction, as if this kind of thing was an everyday occurrence.

The Martial Guild, which Duggam ran, started early in the morning. Normally, there would be some instructors and a certain amount of activity in the guilds, but right now, this guild was deserted and spacious.

Despite this situation, Duggam’s job remained the same.

After the basic training, it was just martial skills practice, kumite, and simple routines, and since Duggam was alone, he was responsible for everything.

“Litty, you are no longer a beginner. You’re going to join kumite today!”

“Yes!”

“Myan!”

“I told you to keep the pet away!”

“Myan…”

Myan got off from Litty with a sulky look on her face. She settled down in the corner to watch over her Master.

Litty, now in a rather awkward position with no Myan wrapped around her, lightly moved her body and then began basic training.

By the time the apprentices had finished their spirited basic training, they were drenched in sweat.

“As I always say, in Martial, your body itself is your weapon! Concentrate on every nerve in your body! Feel it down to the tips of your hair!”

“Yes!”

Litty’s voice was the loudest. She observed the apprentices, trying to determine the truth of the Archer Guild’s branch manager’s statement.

The apprentices who quit yesterday had been here for a long time and had not yet mastered their titles. The same goes for Aida, who, as far as Litty could tell, was the most polished in her movements.

“Litty! You’re not concentrating!” (Duggam)

“Sorry!”

Litty did her best to avoid getting caught observing her surroundings, but Duggam was terribly observant.

It was enough of an incident to demonstrate his prowess as an expert. Litty judged that Duggam, like the other Branch Managers, was at least a Rank 2 or above.

After the basic skills training was completed, there was a break of a few minutes. Next, one by one, the participants began kumite with the Branch Manager.

Litty had a question at this point. She had trained in pairs with Roma at the Swordsman’s Guild, but here it was only one-on-one with the Branch Manager. After thinking about keeping silent for a moment, Litty decided to just ask in the end.

“We are training with the branch manager, not with the other members?” (Litty)

“It makes no sense to fight with a weak opponent! I’m going to make you a better fighter! Then, Aida!” (Duggam)

Litty still had room to argue, but decided not to interrupt any further. Not only would it have interfered with the flow of the conversation, but it would also have angered the Branch Manager.

“What’s the matter! You’re still slouching!” (Duggam)

“Haah!” (Aida)

“Nuh!” (Duggam)

Aida’s kick was blocked by Duggam, but it had a definite weight to it.

The Branch Manager’s expression faintly softened for a moment but it quickly changed to a stern form, and he parried Aida away with a single punch.

“It’s not enough! Think about why you got this result!” (Duggam)

“I didn’t follow up after the kick!” (Aida)

“Good! Next!” (Duggam)

Soon, the rest of the apprentices were in a mess, and as far as Litty could tell, it wasn’t so bad, but Duggam didn’t let his cheeks slacken after that.

Some of the apprentices went down without being able to defend themselves against the first blow, and Duggam’s scolding intensified.

“If you’re like that, quit already!” (Duggam)

“Uh… uuh…”

“Move! Next! Litty!” (Duggam)

“…yes!” (Litty)
