113. Training (6)
113. Training (6)
An adventurer who was hit by Ansync’s blow was literally out of his mind. I don’t know if it’s the same adventurer team, but several adventurers get up from their seats and hurriedly approach the one who passed out after being beaten by Ansync.
Ann Sink sees that and yawns with his mouth wide open. Ann Sink looks at the stunned adventurer and shakes his head. Then he turns around and tries to get out of his ring. It was then.
“Da, do you know what you just did?”
One adventurer protested like that. Ann Sink shook his head.
“It was a legal duel.”
, He replied. Then the adventurer put his hand on the sword wrapped around his waist. But he doesn’t draw his sword. Even adventurers will know. That Ansync is not an ordinary person.
Of course. Ansink is strong enough to defeat even the Three Kings of the Ashen Forest. He may be the strongest man alive. Because he’s the kind of person that even the infamous Blood family would give up.
Ann Sink looked at the adventurers, snorted, and exchanged a few words with the organizer of the duel. Then he takes the money envelope and sits in front of me.
“This is salty. Now, Woros, order whatever you want to eat. I live today.”
That’s how I ate with Ansync. The pub where Ansink had a duel was a place with a large floating population of adventurers. Thanks to Anne Sink, who became an enemy of the adventurers at once, he had to eat while enduring the stinging gaze.
After eating, I stopped by Ansink’s house. It is to listen to the training summary.
“Woros. Come to my house every day until competition day. I will watch the training.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
“Yes. Then take this.”
What Ansync gave me was a blue knitting thread. Let me take it and put on a puzzled expression. Ann Sink sits down and raises his finger.
“That thread. The secret of my aura.”
“… Yes?”
“The knitting thread is a horse. Thin threads are tangled and tangled to form a single line. The same goes for my aura. The circuits are tangled and tangled to form a single stem. Now weave that one stem again to strengthen the aura. It’s forcibly making thin magic circuits thicker and stronger. Hey Woros. How many stems do you think I pull out when I use an aura?”
Ansync asked that and crossed his arms.
“Can you say that this woven and woven stem is a single strand?”
“Yes. If we don’t count like that, the number will be too many.”
“A while ago… Wouldn’t it be about 100 lines as a standard?”
“Totally wrong.”
After saying that, Ansync untied the yarn and cut it to the length of a finger.
“The one I used in the duel earlier was 400 lines. And it has the same shape as this knitting thread, but the thickness is thinner than normal thread. The thinner it is, the harder it is, allowing it to handle more stems.”
To be honest, I was amazed at the word 400 lines. From my point of view, it would be difficult to create a magic stem that was as large as a knitting thread. But he has a thinner stem. It also strengthened the body by making 400 lines in an instant.
“What I can handle at the same time is 3500 stems. It can pull out 3500 stems in one second. It can be used in weapons, and some can be used for defense.”
“…… “
“Woros. As thin as I am, it would be impossible right now. A stem the size of the knitting yarn you are holding. It should be large enough to pull and hold 10 strings at the same time. That is the first task.”
After Anne Sink said that, he got up and took an iron spoon and set it down in front of me.
“You know the tangled threads in that knitting thread? By pouring mana into it as it is. Try reinforcing the yarn. Since a single strand is the same as the shape of this knitting thread, it is an appropriate training method. If you can bend this spoon with knitting thread by applying 10 overlapping lines, you will pass the first stage.”
“Okay. I will give it a try.”
“Um… I knew how to ask if that was possible, so I tried to demonstrate it. What happened Take a good look.”
Ann Sync imbues his finger-length yarn with magic. Then the knitting thread will stand up. Then, he hits the spoon with the knitting thread.
Pajikㅡ Jjanggeulang!ㅡ
The metal spoon that touched Ansink’s knitting thread broke in two. My mouth dropped open at the incomprehensible phenomenon.
“I used 500 stems. The thinner it gets. The strength of this ansync aura is that the destructive power increases the more you add it. You’re not going to get this far right now. Ten lines should be enough to bend a spoon.”
“I will try.”
“Yes. I will go in and set up your practice routine. Just because you train your aura doesn’t mean you can become a full-fledged warrior. First of all, if I can create an aura, I’ll teach you how to wrap it around your weapon.”
After saying that, he patted me on the shoulder before entering the room. I unwound the yarn to an appropriate length, then took out my dagger and cut it. It’s because I’m thinking of starting practice.
The result. Of course it failed.
*
It was night time. I was still wrestling with the yarn in Ansink’s living room.
“Haa… “
I thought I needed to take a break from a terrible headache, so I lay down on the leather sofa and looked up at the ceiling. The premonition of depletion of mana had come. I lay down, stretched out my arms, and looked at my palms.
My arm was numb, and it was trembling. Judging that it would be dangerous to practice any longer, I decided to go back and take a break. I got up right away to go back. Then, out of sight, I see a purple-haired woman looking at me from behind her pillar with only her face sticking out.
It was Ruby, the adoptive daughter of Ansync. She mumbles her mouth as if she has something to say to me. I sat back down and pointed my finger at the front of the sofa.
“Sit down if you have something to say.”
“That, that… “
Ruby closes her eyes. As if she had captured her heart, she came and sat down, staring at me with sharp eyes as always.
“Waros Blood. Did you say Take it easy. You will be my senior now. I am your father’s disciple.”
“Okay. So, is there anything you want to say to me?”
“… Strawberry.”
Muttering Ruby. As I narrowly open her eyes, she clenches her fists and whispers.
“Strawberry tea… I want to eat it again.”
“Oh, I see. I’ll bring it next time I come. Shouldn’t you have told Master Ansync about that?”
“That… It’s a bit hard to tell Dad.”
Ruby lowers her gaze to the floor. Come to think of it, she felt guilty towards Anne Sink for the fact that Ruby was hiding her identity.
It’s because of the fact that he’s a half-demon. Ruby wants to hide the fact thoroughly. Because she thinks her father, who loves her, will hate her. If it was the Ann Sink I knew, she wouldn’t care if Ruby was half demon or half demon, but she did.
“Ruby. Can you do this?”
As I asked, I passed the knitting yarn and spoon to Ruby. She nods her head and accepts her yarn. That way, she wraps her mana around her thread, and pushes the spoon with the stiffened thread. Then the spoon bends gently.
“Because I have been educated since I was a child… I think it might be difficult at first… Yo. This.”
“Is that so? But you have to learn it.”
“Is there a reason for that? … Yo. This?”
I said, accepting the bent spoon Ruby was holding.
“You can speak casually if you feel uncomfortable.”
“…… “
“I decided to go to the Melguard Tournament… Hey Ruby.”
“Yes? No… huh?”
I want Ansync and Ruby to be more open-minded. If you confide Ruby’s secret to Ann Sink, he won’t show much reaction. Whatever her Ruby identity is, to Anne Sink, Ruby is just a precious daughter.
It’s just that much. However, the parties seem to think otherwise.
“About two weeks until the Melgard Tournament. Do you think I can handle Master Ansync’s aura by then?”
“I don’t know… It took me over a year to learn. It’s a bit hard to say this, but… If it’s this week, it’s better to research other strategies… “
Ruby says so, twisting her fingers. I looked at Ruby like that and slowly opened my mouth.
“No. I will perfectly master Master’s aura before the match and use it to win.”
“…… “
“You look like you can’t believe it. What could be Don’t you want to come and watch it with Master on the day of the Ruby competition?”
“Oh, with Dad?”
“I will tell Master.”
Before being possessed, I spent a long time as an athlete. So I know. Sports have the power to stir up spectators. When the team you cheer for wins, everyone is happy. It is also the reason why there are many relationships that develop into lovers while watching sports.
Ansync and Ruby will support me. I will master Ansync’s Aura for the remaining two weeks and claim victory with confidence. Ruby said it would be hard for me to master Ansync’s aura in two weeks, but I’ll make it.
If you accomplish the impossible and triumphantly win, the relationship between the estranged father and daughter might be even a little closer. The team you cheer for wins. Then the people who cheered for that team become happy with one heart and one mind. That is the magic of sports.
With my victory, the wall built between Ansync and Ruby may come down a bit.
“I ask for your support.”
At my words, Ruby shyly nodded her head.
