It had been six days since the discussion with Zeldia and the others.

Wyrm and the others have been forced to live in the castle.

It seems that Zeldir and his chief ministers are meeting every day to quickly revise the bill on the "abomination", and when I saw him this morning, he was slender and thin and had large circles under his eyes.

He wants us to wait a little longer to go to the castle town, including time to tell the people about the revisions to avoid confusion.

In the meantime, the treatment of Virum and his friends, but the level of hospitality is similar to that of royalty in other countries.

It's a good idea to have a private room for Wyrm and a single room for Meldina and Cunaria, but each of the three will be given special treatment with two bodyguards and a maid of honor.

At first Vilm was going to refuse, but then he remembered that he had decided to learn about the outside world and accepted.

It seems that he refused the offer of a night out, though.

Although it comes with the restriction of not being able to go out, the three of them are able to live a free life.

In the midst of that life, the three of them, and in particular Kounaria, are working on...

Next in line, please!

Good! Today is the day I'm going to put one in for you, Kounaria!

It was a real battle training with the soldiers of the Humane Kingdom.










The day after the discussion, Vilm asked Liselotte if he could borrow an open space for his daily training, if he couldn't go into the castle town.

The training ground that was shown to me was quite large, and the soldiers belonging to the kingdom were conducting a curriculum ranging from basic training for physical fitness to intense combat training in the order of a thousand people.

The actual battle training of Virum vs. Cunaria begins in one corner of it.

At first, the soldiers reluctantly responded to the order of the leader of the knights (Lieselotte) and looked at the abomination (Virm) with a quizzical gaze, but their eyes widened and they were surprised by the combat training of the two men.

The spirit of Coonaria's side must have been considerable, as she was confronting it with all her might.

There were many who couldn't even follow her movements with their gaze.

And then there's Virum, who lightly dodges and passes off those moves without taking them as an obstacle, instructing them while sometimes blowing Coonaria away.

The soldiers in the training grounds were stunned and fascinated by the battle that was so substandard, forgetting their own training.

Even Lieselotte was amazed with their admiration.

When their combat training was over and they told Liselotte that they were leaving, Vilm and Cunaria asked if they could help the soldiers a bit.

They agreed, on the condition that they would be allowed to use the training grounds every day.

They are assigned to work with the soldiers, but it's at this point that Vilm makes a big mistake, as he comes forward to work with the soldiers until Kounaria's health is restored.

He had completely sealed off the soldiers who had come to the training grounds without a single breath.

Including the knight commander, Lieselotte.

From the next day onwards, the gazes directed at Virum became mostly awe, slightly awe-inspired, and there were few who offered to match hands.

Instead, applications for hand-to-hand combat were flooding in to Kounaria, who was relatively close in ability.

''I have no idea why you got beaten by Virum-san. The more Coonaria-san can realize that, the more you can learn how to deal with a higher-ranked opponent.

''You can't feel sorry for yourself if you lose to Mr. Virum, can you? Even Knight Commander Lieselotte can't take on him, you know? If you lose to Kounaria-chan, you'll be so frustrated that you'll be ready for the next round of training.

'There's no one as unarmed on the battlefield as Virum-san. There's someone who uses a big axe like Kounaria-chan. It's not that I'm afraid of Mr. Wilm or anything.

Kounaria is cute, isn't she? And she's so swaying for such a loose-fitting outfit. I'd love to get up close and personal with that thing, and I'd be glad to get my ass kicked.

And the reasons for taking on the challenge are various.

In addition, those who have similar goals, including the last soldier, will be ordered by Lieselotte to run forever outside the city walls with full plate armor during the hours that Cunaria uses the training grounds.

With the added bonus of a ten percent pay cut stick for every time she skipped.










The soldier who was dealing with Kounaria was hit by a weapon and fell to his knees on the spot.

''d*mn it,''

'Thank you! Next, please!

It's my turn! Let's go, little Cunnalia!

A prolonged series of battles against opponents who could be said to be inferior in strength.

This training ended up giving an unexpected byproduct to Cunaria.

A soldier who had slashed at her with great vigor was blown away.

''Thank you! Next, please!

What's going on? You don't look tired at all today, Kounaria-chan.

d*mn it, I'm going next!

A new challenger was heading towards Kounaria, but he did not show any fatigue in his movements.

At this time, despite the fact that Coonaria was in the middle of a battle, she was always aware of the circulation of magic power.










On the first day of training, Virum accomplished a thousand man-outs (the actual number is a little back and forth, but that's about it).

On the second day of training, what awaited Cunaria, who was eager to be like her mentor, was the reality that she would run out of breath after a hundred and a bit and be taken out by one.

On the third day of training, he fought with consideration for running out of stamina, but on the contrary, each one of them took longer to fight, and he couldn't even reach a hundred men.

On the fourth day of training, perhaps due to the increase in stamina from fighting to the limit day after day, they managed to pass the 150-man mark, but Kounaria herself was not satisfied.

On that day, as part of her daily routine at the end of training, she tried to regain her strength by circulating magic power within her body.

(Is this the circulation of magic power within the body...recovery of physical strength? If this could be done in combat...?)

It was early after I came up with the idea.

After calling out to Lieselotte and getting permission to use the training grounds after the soldiers' training was over, Cunaria practiced the magic power circulation while moving her body in a nonchalant manner.

On the fifth day of training, perhaps because she's still unaccustomed to it, she gets taken out by one of them at around one hundred and fifty like yesterday.

However, there was no shortage of breath in Kounaria, and there was no anxiety or frustration in her eyes.

Naturally, Kounaria would continue to work on her own training that night.

Incidentally, Virum, who was watching Coonaria that day, said, "Heh...? He looked impressed.










And on the sixth day of training (today), Kounaria's rapid progress shows no signs of stopping.

From the middle of the training, she may have become comfortable, or she begins to take on multiple people.

They defeated soldiers who came forward one after another from one side to the other.

I'm sure he never thought of that, because he had to always give his all in training with Wyrm, and he didn't have the luxury of "circulating magic power in his body while fighting to recover his strength".

From that point of view, it can be said that the results completely exceeded Virum's predictions.

Seeing his apprentice (Kounaria) who overcame the challenge on his own, Wilm raises the corners of his mouth slightly.

''Virum-dono! How dare you make an afterthought during a hand-to-hand meeting!

When Wyrm turned his gaze back to the direction of the voice, he saw Lieselotte, with her long sword and large shield at the ready, glaring at him with disgruntled eyes.

''Oh, my bad. It wasn't that I didn't want you to just hang on to it, you know?'

"Do not be caught by surprise! We can't do anything against chivalry!

(Personal thoughts vary, don't interfere unless you're bothered, or)

Seeing Lieselotte with a dignified expression on her face, Virm reminds him of what Hinori and Meldina taught him.

While the soldiers avoided hand-to-hand combat with Vilm, Lieselotte was the only one who asked for hand-to-hand combat every day.

It seems that Lieselotte, who is as good as Kounaria, wanted to be instructed by Virum rather than compete with her of the same rank.

''I'm going! Huh!

'Don't make me say the same thing as yesterday. The moment you step in, your body is too stiff for the impact of a collision. If you can avoid it, it will be a deadly gap.

Ugh!

Lieselotte sets up a shield bash against Virm, but frowns at the blows struck to her abdomen when she is avoided.

It seems that his fighting style, which relies on heavy armor, has become ingrained in him, and he seems to find it difficult to take the lessons from Wyrm and make them his own.

'Can't you get used to the pain? I don't have time to be sore in battle.

"What?

Receiving a decent chase shot to his back while he was frightened, Lieselotte let out a painful breath and fell to his knees.

''Ugh... Kuch!

'Focus on getting your stance right rather than making a half-hearted attack in the heat of the moment. If you're attacking to get your stance right, fine, but keep in mind that your opponent is more likely to read you for that.

What?

The slash he fired as he stood up was lightly teased, and Lieselotte, who was thrown away with the momentum of the slash, was slammed into the ground from his back and stopped breathing for a moment.

Geho!

'I guess that's it for today. First, you have to get rid of the habit of relying too much on your armor. It's not something that can be done in a day or two, but you must always be aware of it.

'Geez, geez! Thank you, thank you!

Not particularly lending a hand to Lieselotte, Vilm went to check on Cunaria's condition.

Immediately, several soldiers rushed over and began to tend to Lieselotte.

''Virum-san, you're relentless.

But according to Lady Cunnalia, you're going to have to go easy on her.

'Seriously? That's why we're all deaf. Ah, Commander, is there anything else that hurts?

Yeah, I'm good. Thank you. However, Lord Virum's guidance is really accurate. He's right, my fighting style is one that relies on armor, but by sticking it out, I'm not able to cope with fighting a higher-ranked opponent. Since he and I have been hand-to-hand, we've been able to clearly see the issues that need to be addressed in order to become stronger. I'm excited to be out of character.

"What? He's so thrilled to be beaten up like that, he's the Commander's Dom!

Lieselotte's iron fist explodes on the soldier's head, which is filled with tea.

Seeing the soldier holding his head down while half crying, the surroundings are filled with bright laughter.

Over the past few days, Vilm had begun to be accepted not only by the king and his chief ministers, but also by the ordinary soldiers.

It should be added that Cunaria had achieved the seven-hundredth overturned on this day.
