Villy came from a lower nobleman's background and lived the same life as a commoner.
　However, he had exceptional talent as a spearman, and at the age of fifteen, he surprised everyone around him when he fought evenly with the then head of the Order at the age of fifteen.
　By the time he was 18, no one in the Order was able to fight him properly, and at the age of 21, he became one of the new Yagamihiki.
　To be chosen as the Eight Divine Brilliance is the highest honor for a warrior of the Empire.
　His family cried tears of joy.
　Yagami Hui's unbeatable reward allowed his parents and sister to live a comfortable life.
　As a result of attending the "meeting" between the Emperor and Yagami Hui with his high nose, he had his nose broken.
　Claude and Manuel were there to stop his thrusts with one hand, although they were one-on-one experts.
　Ingway had him down before he knew what was going on.
　Sydonier had already been frozen by the time he tried to attack.
　Bartholomeus and Vilhemina didn't even have the desire to challenge Bartolomeus and Vilhemina to a match.
　Along with Sydonier, Villy, the youngest of the Eight God Terriers, was the second from the bottom in terms of ability.

''I'm weak ......!

　Villy was still training at the Imperial City's training grounds today as he said that.

''Huh.''

　In a single breath, he performs the "May Rain Thrust", which delivers two hundred thrusts.
　Unfortunately, only Giselkhele is able to use this technique in the same Yagami Kiki.
　Moreover, Giselhair is an archer and specializes in long-distance combat.
　This is not an opponent that can be praised for winning at close and medium distances.

''Faster, ...... and stronger.''

　Villy has been training to become even stronger.
　As expected, he doesn't think he can be the strongest in the Empire, but he wasn't going to give up the third position.
　I want to be able to at least beat Ingway.　
　He could defeat the enemy faster than the sound, but that was only his limit.

'To the extent that I leave the sound behind, I can't even beat Ingway.

　His colleagues are inexplicably monstrous.
　The emperor says that the current Yagami Akira is basically stronger than his predecessor.

(I heard the previous generation was about the same as me, except for Jurgen-sama, Ordovine-sama and Zelgius-sama.

　It was a nice miscalculation to have a stronger force than its predecessors as a result of the retirement of their predecessors and the new members they brought in.
　The addition of Vilhemina was particularly significant.
　She alone can be a battle power for several Yagami Teru.
　From now on, adventurers and other tribes could be recruited to join Yagamihiki.

(As expected, I don't think there's a Sidonier or Manuel class that's rumbling around in the field, but ......)

　If it was a special-grade adventurer that there were several of them in the empire, maybe, just maybe, it might be.
　Since Manuel was one, it wouldn't be impossible to say it was impossible.

''Don't be so diligent.''

　Then Val comes in.
　It wasn't unusual for Meena, who was always waiting at his side, to be there.

'Is there no Meena to Bartolomeus or ...... Ville?

Yeah. His Majesty needs me for a few things.

　His answer makes Villy uneasy.

'I'm pretty uneasy when you're not around,'

Meena's not unreasonable.

　Val chuckled when she saw what Villy was trying to say.

'I wonder if it's true: ......'

　Val pretended not to hear the anxious whisper.

'Better yet, match hands. It's better to train with a partner, after all.

That's good. Just dead people.

　Val responded airily.
　Villy's ambition was desirable as a colleague.
　I felt inclined to help out.

'Elves,'

　It was Val who took the lead.
　He shot out over a thousand light bullets from his right hand.

''Out of nowhere?''

　Villy spins his spear to stop him from preventing it.

'Payback. Collapsing Mountain Blast!

　He dove into Bal's bosom and thrust over five hundred, but cut the sky.
　Bal shifted a few steps and moved out of the spear's pause.

''It's good that you're good at continuous attacks, but you're not very good at countermeasures when you're out of spacing.

Ugh.

　Villy cringed when he heard Val's assessment.
　His fighting style is basically 'do it before you can avoid it'.
　That's why he's vulnerable to opponents who can miss his pauses and avoid his spears.

Should I practice being able to change my pause even during a thrust?" ......

'You should be able to. At least you'll be unable to dodge like you're doing now, and it's a deadly thing to have a .1 second window of opportunity against us.

　Villy nodded in agreement with Val's words.
　The God of Light War in front of me would kill me about ten times if I had 0.1 seconds.
　You have to be able to deal with it because you want to get a little higher.

''Well, now for your protection.''

Is there an opening?

　Villy listened quietly.

'Not that there's an opening,'

　Val shoots "Elves" again.
　The moment Villy uses his spear to block it, he turns around and kicks him in the leg.

'Oops,'

　Villy avoided it in a hurry, but he was completely out of position.

'My lower body is a little stiff. I'm not very conscious of being prepared for a series of attacks.'

Yeah, right: ......

It's a flow of attack and defense. Especially when there isn't much of a gap between them. Attack and you'll win. You can counterattack with one defense. That's the only thing you can assume, and that's a bit of a problem.

　He listens to Val's point with a serious look on his face.

So I was flawed. Thanks.

What. Good luck.

　He replied hawkishly to Villy, who thanked him, and Val turned to leave.
　Calling it off, Villy asked him to do so.

'Wait, Bartolomeus. Stay with me a little longer.

We're almost there.

　Val went along as if he had no choice.
　On this day, Willi's spear didn't do him any favors, but there was a slight change.
