We discussed yesterday's adventurer training during our break.
'Brünnhilde senpai, that was awesome."
'Really. It's hard to believe you're the same person."
'Yes that's right."
' "......"
I was in the background, so I didn't get to see it, but from what I've heard, it sounds pretty impressive.
Everyone seemed to be astonished by Brünnhilde-senpai's overwhelming strength.
I was watching her closely and was reminded of how strong she is.
Mira-sama stayed in the back, so she couldn't see Brünnhilde-senpai's battle.
And there was something else that bothered me.
"I know very well that Brünnhilde-senpai is strong, but did everyone see her attacks and movements with that speed? I could just barely see her."
'What are you saying, ?r Elias-sama."
"Yes, that's right, "
'Yes."
"......"
"?"
What? Have you lost your memory? It's the eyes. They're enhanced by magic. It's normal for magicians. It's not unusual for us powerless magicians to have our eyes strengthened. Well, you wouldn't understand it if you were as insanely quick as you are, but the eyes are a vital life-line for us magicians."
'That's right, Elias. You're letting your guard down, are you not? Your attack power and speed are astonishing, but it's important to train your eyes. Fighting with speed is good, but training your eyes is fundamental. Well, it's not my place to say that, having been defeated by Elias."
'No, thank you, Ilsa-san. I guess I was careless. I'll be on my guard once more."
I wasn't caught off guard, I didn't think about it.
The magician trains his eyes with magic power to compensate for quickness.
I was embarrassed.
It was common knowledge amongst magic users to train their eyes?
Was I the only one who didn't know?
'It's okay. You didn't know, Elias. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. Elias is strong enough as you are. You just have to learn what you don't know. Right?"
Mira-sama whispered softly in my ear.
My mind calmed down a little.
I was thinking about my opponent for the next ranking match.
'Ilsa-san, can I ask you to compete in the ranking match?'
What are you saying? I lost to Elias and was stripped of my right to challenge for two weeks. I'm not saying that I have anything against you, that's not what I'm saying. You can challenge me to a match, but I am the lower-ranked one, so I will exercise my right of veto."
'Sorry about something ......'
Ilsa-san had dropped to third place in the pecking order after losing to me.
The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the best out of your opponent is to be the best you can be.
'Anna, you know...'
"I refuse."
'I haven't said anything yet. ......
'It's a ranking match, right? There's no way I'm doing this with you".
"Harriet?"
"Yes."
I can't tell if I'm allowing it or refusing it.
'Hanna-san?'
"......."
I don't know either.
'Are you stupid? There's no way anyone would do it with you. If there was, it would be Brünnhilde or Albert, who's a bad guy."
Please don't call him a bad guy.
"What? What? - He's obviously a bad guy, isn't he?"
He's my friend, from way back. He's a friend, he's been a friend for a long time. If he tries to fight me, I'll smash him, but I know I'll get back with him."
'Wow. ...... I'm sorry. I apologise. For offending your friend. But what happened? It's obvious that he's not normal, right?"
"I can't tell you that. I can't involve you and Anna in this. And there's a lot I don't understand too. I'll tell you when I've sorted it out.'
"What, you're all wishy-washy. If you have a problem, you should tell me."
"Thank you, Anna."
I'm blessed with classmates.
I'm basically on my own, but they say I can rely on them if I need help.
I have to keep in mind that I have to take care of Albert in the future.
And I will definitely help him out.
