Chapter 016 | the last training days

At Sanya's orders, Graham opened 3 test tubes on his belt. Without further command, the three white slimes jumped out and formed into homunculi. They all appeared to have been equipped with different weapons and body characteristics. One was very slim, had short, light legs, and carried a spear with him. Another was very tall and muscular. He was carrying a large sword about the size of myself. The third one was about the size of Sanya and carried a bow.

"We'll start with the spear homunculus," said the old lady.

Without further ado, It was already attacking me. The left hand of the homunculi held the spear with two fingers, while the other hand, held the end of the spear and made sure that the spear shot penetratingly at me.

I dodged one thrust after the other. So far it has been very easy for me to dodge the stings of the spear. I also feel how my body forgets its efforts. It feels like I can go on like this forever.

I no longer have to count the stitches, as I did with Sanya, just count the attacks, so I no longer have to injure myself. A great success in my training!

I am very sure that I am currently experiencing a high runner. I read about it once. It is a euphoric state of mind that makes you forget any physical exertion.

80 .. attacks

120 .. attacks

I need to double-check his routine, and then I'll be ready to strike.

140 .. attacks

OK! I strike. The next attack will surely come from above!

I struck with full force.

My swords cut the Homunculi's spear.

"It' went better," Sanya called into the training area.

"I counted 140. That's 110 less. Now let's take a break ''

I was particularly pleased with the old woman's last words. I could use a break now.

"You are now running five laps on the training field"

WHAT?! What does she imagine in taking a break? I simmered with anger. But it's probably better to do what the old woman says. After all, she had already taught Graham.

....

After the 5 rounds full of gasping and border expansions, Sanya already announced the next ...

....

....

And that's how my last training days went before the RO recruiting. I learned many other ways to parry or evade attacks from Sanya. The old woman taught me that, for example.I should use the force of an enemy's attack against them while parrying. To lead away from your own body instead of fending it off head-on. The double swords allow the user, to deflect the enemy, while being able, to stab or slash him with the other sword.

She also showed me that double sword art is always a running movement. Because of the high freedom and low defense, it is important to keep moving. Therefore, I should stand on tiptoe more often during the fight. To be able to evade in any direction at any time.

I haven't seen or heard from my roommate Varro or the troublemaker Caspar in the last few days. I only saw the strange dog girl Amy a lot.

Tomorrow will be the time. The RO recruiting tournament begins. I will do my best. For the people who have supported me so far, as well as for the people who see me as a pushover. I will prove myself in front of all of these people. For the justice of this world!
