Tenkomori: The Homecoming Club Conquers Another World

Chapter 75.3. The First Year at the Academy – Hero's Vessel (3)

"Oh, it's not in my nature to be bothered!"

Suddenly, Markant breaks the silence.

"The point is, you don't feel at home standing on your feet! Then drop the "One-handed sword". And while you're at it, aim higher!"

"Up?"

I don't know what to think, but Valerie agrees, "That's a good idea!".

Danil and Ose were nodding their heads in agreement.

Well, what's up? I'm talking about increasing the number of cards in my hand.

I thought for a moment and then realized.

"Well, intermediate level."

Markant chuckled.

"A "One-handed Sword" or my "Axe" is still beginner level, no matter how far you go, but for B ranks and above, intermediate level is not uncommon."

"I see. I hadn't thought of that."

It's always better to set a goal than to go up in the dark.

Aiming for the intermediate level might be the best decision.

However, I stop moving at Valerie's subsequent words.

"Alter-sama, "One-handed Sword' is your axis, so it's "Sword Flash" or "Sword Dance"."

Sword Dance?

Everyone peeked at me curiously as I stiffened.

Somehow I managed to shake them off.

"Hey wa-……, no, it's nothing."

I faked it with a desperate smile.

Why, of all things, a "Sword dance"? Is she harassing the little fat man?

In a strange air, Danil returns to the subject.

"‘Sword Dance' is "Curved Sword' or "Two-handed Sword" in addition to ‘One-handed Sword. "Sword Dance" is ……."

"‘One-handed Sword" and "Taijutsu" and then "Dagger" or "Curved Sword". I think you probably meet the requirements, Alter-sama. Then you should go for "Sword Dance"."

"Then it's no different than now."

Markant denies it, but Valerie immediately shakes her head.

"No, it's not. Alter-sama asked me if I wanted things to stay the same. I didn't say I wanted to change the present. If I want to reach the intermediate level, the shortest distance is always better for me. Besides, "Sword Dance" doesn't fit my style of fighting. The "Curved Sword" is difficult to handle, and the"Two-handed Sword" would negate its advantages."

With a wide-eyed look, Markant stands up.

"What's wrong with ‘Two-handed Sword"? He's got this weird hidden skill set. He can use a "Two-handed Sword' in a heartbeat."

"Why are you limiting yourself to "Two-handed Swords"? You just want to teach him heavy weapons, don't you?"

"Then I'll use the axe! Do you want to teach me how to use an axe? I'll teach you the axe!"

"You're an intermediate swordsman! What are you going to do with memorizing "axes"?"

"Wait, wait"

I somehow managed to calm down the two who were getting heated.

This again, why do they keep doing this? I felt bad for "Axe".

I wait for them to calm down, and then I begin.

"I understand what you're saying. Let's decide to aim for the intermediate level. It's better if the goal is easy to understand, and none of the weapons will interfere with " Hard-hitting" and "Double-hitting". Do you need a rank?"

"It's vague. That's about it. They don't always reveal their hand."

"Roughly, they say rank 8 or higher."

I checked the status of Valerie's supplement.

"One-handed Sword 7", "Taijutsu 7", "Dagger 5".

Wow, that's the shortest distance.

If I fight, "One-handed Sword" and "Taijutsu" will naturally increase. If I had been using stilettos a lot with this, I might have become – a ‘sword dance'.

"You. Don't tell me you're on the verge of intermediate level?"

Markant sputters when he notices me, and he carries his holy axe.

We looked in the direction where Ose had gone and packed our things.

"For more details, see the secret of the Baron family."

"You're telling me that now?"

Ose returned immediately and announced with a single word, "Goblins."

Markant expressed interest, "Oh", he said.

I remember the leader's story, but I don't think those things are around anymore.

I ask him what's going on, and Ose looks deep into the forest.

"They are strays. There are five of them. They seemed to have finished hunting and were eating bornis."

"What, eating them? Eat this?"

I looked down at the headless, bare remains that Ose had just killed.

Yes, it's very gruesome.

"Goblins are bad eaters. It's only them or the same insect family that eats bornis."

That's a forest cleaner. I can't imitate them, and I don't want to.

Whatever the case, now that I've discovered them, I'll finish them off.

I asked silently, and everyone nodded at the same time.
