163-162 Dariel meets a slap



 Maleeka's brothers.
 I didn't realize there were three of them, not just one.

 Judging from their behavior and age, there was one brother and one sister, one of whom was Maleeka's brother and sister.
 I guess Malika was in the second position.

 But, well, it's only natural when you think about it for a moment.
 I'm a son-in-law myself, so I know them well. I've seen how close Malika's parents and mother-in-law get to each other.

 The fact that Mary-Ka was the only one who made it together with her loving husband and wife is beyond belief.
 However, a total of four people have made it.

What are you doing in a place like this, abandoning your hometown?

 I couldn't help but ask this one, too.
 I didn't even know they existed because they were so far away from their birthplace where they were supposed to be.
 Why did that happen?

"...you have no idea what it's like to be born in the middle of nowhere. You have no idea the sorrows of being born in a shithole with nothing to offer.

 It was the eldest son who started talking about something.
 He looks remarkably old in the trio.
 I guess that's the impression I get because the eldest daughter (Marika) who is supposed to be in between, isn't there.

'There's nothing. There's no store, no carriage. There's no guild for cool adventurers to belong to.
'I had no idea I was going to spend the rest of my life in the middle of nowhere! Our lives deserve to shine brighter than that, Attah!

 The one who took over is my sister.
 She still looks young enough to be a girl, but she seems active, perhaps because she's trained as an adventurer.
 And perhaps because of our blood ties, she looks a bit smaller than Marika.

What were we born for? What are we born to do? At least it wasn't to smoke out in the countryside for nothing! To find the meaning of what I was born to do, first of all today, I'll pass and become an A-level adventurer!

 Finally, a younger brother.
 He looks even younger than his brother.

 However, the one thing they all had in common was that each part of their bodies had something in common that reminded me of my father-in-law.

''And by the way, it's a pseudo! I'll have you flayed! And while we're at it, the name of my three brothers and I will be making a lot of money!

 The three of them are approaching me belligerently.
 Not that I'm in the position of an examiner, so if I'm challenged, I just respond.

But is this a good idea?

 Three against one.
 Is such an uneven fight allowed on the test or not?

Of course you can.

 Aranzir-san answered while fighting in the next booth.

''It's a test to see if you're a good adventurer. Just being strong doesn't make you an adventurer. You understand that, don't you?
It's, well...
''Adventurers form a party, and their coordination and command skills are also essential for an A-level adventurer. To see that, the candidates must be herded together....

 Even Arantzill-san himself, who said so, was surrounded by a party of four examiners while explaining, and was annihilated before he could finish speaking.
 As expected of the strongest man in the world.
 And it makes sense to talk about it.

 A strong man who is strong alone and has no regard for others will not only help people, but will only be a nuisance to them.

''I understand.''

 I turn to my three brothers.

"I want you three to come at me. I'm gonna see if you're worthy of a grade A.
You talk big. But you're not a test, you're a hunted man.

 The eldest son........was his name Stanville?
 He holds a hammer with a long handle, which seems to be his specialty.

 ...Speaking of which...
 My father-in-law, who used to be an adventurer, was also good at using a hammer. By making the handle longer, he was able to increase its power by gaining centrifugal force.

 I'm not sure if parents and children are alike in some way, even though they live apart.
 Just like me and Alanziel.

You will be hunted like a monster to prove our strength to the guild directors. That's what you are!
I'm just saying that you're not the one who should be appealing to us.
Now, let's get on with the game! You better get your weapon out too!

 His sister and brother also thrust their weapons at him as if they were challenging him, but they hadn't gone so far as to attack him yet.
 There was a reason for that.

 It was because I didn't have a weapon.

 No matter how much this was a test, and no matter how much I hated them, I couldn't attack them unarmed.
 I seem to have the least amount of pride in being an adventurer.

'I'll keep it that way.'
What?

 I've got the Hermes sword in its ground state in my pocket, of course, but I didn't take it out.

You don't need to use your weapons against them. This is a test, bare hands are enough. I'll go easy on you and you'll come at me like you're trying to kill me.

 The people around him throbbed with a do-gooder at his declaration.

 It would be unheard of for an adventurer versus adventurer to not use a weapon in a battle.
 Everyone questioned my sanity.

"You lick my ass........! Brother! I knew it was bullshit that that guy was Master Arantzill's child!
He's right, Riebeke. That's right, Lebeke, we'll cut off his hide. When we do, we'll be "Class A" adventurers!

 The three brothers rushed out as if the front talk was over.
 Towards me.
 The ultimate goal would be me, but they each split off in three directions and showed a trajectory that surrounded me.
 It was quite an adventurer's move.

"Master, beat the hell out of those idiot brothers...

 My wife comes from the audience to support me and my son.
 What else is going on here?

Let's go! In the usual order!
I mean from me!

 The first of the three brothers to come at me was my sister.
 A blade held in each of her right and left hands.
 She has two swords.

'Well, you said you were a twin-sword user or something.

 Avoid the slashing blade by reading its trajectory.
 If it misses, it will slash at you again. This is dizzying because it's two blades with two hands.
 The speed of the rush is not comparable to the speed of a single swing of a blade.
 Of course, it's twice as many moves because there are two blades.

"I'm impressed that you've been able to dodge my continuous attacks to this extent!

 Maleeka's sister says.
 It is true that they are only sisters, and even their voice sounds are very similar.

 The two swords were so short that they could be called knives, and even if you slashed them properly, they didn't seem to be able to inflict a wound that would even limit the enemy's actions, let alone kill them.

 It wasn't big enough or heavy enough.

 However, when using slash as an aura trait, it was a really appropriate way to manage it.
 Essentially there is no need for weight to slash.
 It is only the sharpness of the blade and the proper angle of the blade.
 When those things are inexperienced, the weight will try to force a cut. The "cutting" attack was a combination of slash and hit in Aura Warfare.

 If you use pure slash aura to enhance your slashing ability, you will no longer need to rely on weight.
 Even a small and light blade can easily slice through rocks and steel.
 And if it's small and light, there's no need to hold it with both hands. You can hold it with one hand. If you have one hand free, you can also hold another blade.

 Her fighting style was very logical for someone who has mastered the aura of slashing.
 The quality and quantity of the aura contained in the twin swords are perfect.
 With a large number of hands, it would not be a problem to rush into a crowd of monsters.

 Indeed, this is an arm that can challenge the highest level of adventurers.

''You're late, Saleeker!

 A voice from above.
 The eldest son, Stanville, is leaping and soaring into the heavens.

 And he's being pulled down by gravity, falling, with his momentum...!

''Rapidly falling board collapse!''

 The hammer that was swung down shattered the floor of the testing ground.
 From the point where the hammer touched, cracks extended in all directions, extending far and wide, and countless pieces of debris flew up like popcorn from where the cracks were knotted together.

 Well, the floor collapsed because I jumped out of the way just in time to avoid it.

'Shit missed!'
Stupid brother, you're going too fast! Not until I attract and bathe you a little more!

 I could see, their coordination.

 The younger sister wields her twin swords, which have become extremely slashing with a slash (slash) aura, and is distracted.
 Then she draws the enemy's attention and swings down her eldest son's deadly hammer blow from above his head, which is a deadly angle.
 That is their winning pattern.

"I love that both my brother and Sareeka can play an active role. I'm not going to have a chance to do anything about it because the enemy is stupid and doesn't have any weapons. If this is the case, I will be the only one to fail.

 The second son with the shield says. With a deliberate yawn.

 His role would be to defend the enemy in case they counterattacked.
 The sister of the disturbance, the younger brother of the defense to ensure that the enemy is stopped, and the eldest son's hammer to finish him off.

 It's a frankly perfect partnership.
 With this pattern, most opponents would be crushed without being able to move.

''........most opponents would.

 Their characteristics have been assessed.
 It's a test. I'm a gentleman, so I'm not going to kick them out immediately like Mr. Aranziel.

''Then it's the second stage of the test. What the hell do you do when you run into an opponent who doesn't communicate with your boastful coordination?
