Once the magic training is over, the next step is to move on to martial arts training.
The instructors are made up of members of the Knight's Order, such as Cross and Nels.
I would have liked Rubens to join us if possible, but he is working hard under Dinas to become deputy commander, so it is difficult for him.
The next time I see him, he's going to be a knight in arms," he says.
'Alright everyone, next up is martial arts training. If you learn from them, I'm sure you'll be stronger than me in close combat, so do your best."
When I said these words to everyone, Cross took a step forward and began to introduce himself.
'Once again, I'm Cross, deputy commander of the Bardia Knights. I already know of your high potential from the bowl battle. I intend to instruct you from now on so that you can make the most of that power. I look forward to working with you."
After Cross's greetings, Nels, a childhood friend of Deanna and Rubens, steps forward.
I'm also a member of the Knights of Bardia, Nels. I will be assisting Deputy Commander Cross. Well, I'll be counting on you from now on.'
Cross says in a slightly stern manner, but Nels gives a slightly frightened greeting.
However, Cross does not try to blame him for it, so perhaps he is doing it intentionally.
After the two greet each other, preparatory exercises are done and the training begins.
I also took part in the training this time and did it together with everyone else.
At first, the training starts with basic training such as running, and after the body has been relaxed, each person's strengths are checked like a physical fitness test, and the group is divided according to the level of their physical ability.
This is for more efficient training.
Also, depending on the department they will be assigned to in the future, they may not be required to have that level of combat ability.
Nevertheless, they will still be asked to learn martial arts, just in case.
However, the training for those who will be in a non-combatant position will be a little lighter, so that's why they are divided into groups.
When the physical tests are over and the groupings are settled, Cross roars out.
, "All right. Remember the members of the groups you have just split up. They are the ones who will be with you most of the time in the future training. And the bird people, Aria and the others, gather with Master Rid. Now, let's start training in our respective groups."
After his explanation, replies are heard here and there, and training begins for each group.
Basically, it seems that the knights in charge of the instructors and the children take turns in mock battles and kumite.
The rest of the time, the children learn the basics of 'martial arts forms'.
This 'martial art shape' was mainly constructed by Cross, Capella, Diana and Rubens, and is a fusion of the martial arts of the Renalute and Bardia Knights, and is also the 'martial art shape' that I handle.
After Cross and the others had spoken up, I observed the mock battles around me and various children were challenging the knights and rolling their eyes in return.
Perhaps they thought they could win a few.
But the Bardia Knights are a highly skilled group of knights in the Empire.
Even if it is just one knight, the current children will not be able to win so easily.
Suddenly, I looked at Cross's squad and saw that the children who were active in the Battle of the Bowls had almost all gathered together.
Although they are elated to challenge Cross, they are easily beaten back and seem to have a regretful look on their faces.
Nels also seems to be beating them back with a bit of time to spare, which is a bit surprising.
Well, Cross is definitely stronger than me, so it will be a good stimulus.
I looked at the whole thing and muttered to myself with relief that things were going smoothly.
'Yeah, everyone is more upbeat than I expected, so that's good.'
'I guess so. Perhaps it is because we showed Rid-sama's ability and character in the bowl battle that we know they are working on a positive approach."
Diana answered politely and I smiled.
'Haha, then I guess all my hard work paid off.'
Just as I was answering her, Aria and the others came waving to me.
"Rid-sama ‼ we have been told to gather here alone, what are we going to do?"
Aria gives me a puzzled look as she cheerfully speaks out.
Her sisters do the same. I smiled and began to explain to them.
'Hmm, I wanted to make a special training and request to Aria and her sisters. By the way, have you ever used a 'bow' before?
'Bows? 'Well, they've all been taught how to handle bows, or rather, a whole range of weapons, so they can all use bows."
'Yes. We can use swords, bows and spears, just for basic movements."
'...... It's so basic that we may need to practice, depending on what Lid-sama wants.'
In response to my questions, Aria, Syria and Elia answered.
The other children nod and tell me what they can use.
I see, I am grateful for this.
In fact, I'm thinking of asking the girls from the bird tribe to do some special training and missions in the future.
But in order to do that, in addition to being able to handle a 'bow', they also need to build up their physical strength.
That's why I'm asking Aria and the others to go through special training.
In order to answer the questions of the three, I continued talking.
I thank you all for telling me about this. I'll be taking care of your training from now on, me and Deanna, so please give me your best effort".
'Really⁉ Ehehe, I'm glad that Rid-sama and my sister will be teaching us.'
Aria didn't seem to think that she'd be able to teach us directly, and beamed with delight.
Diana also gives her a gentle smile.
"I am also happy to be able to take you on. Now then, let me explain to you about the future training and our objectives."
'Yes!'
The Aria and the others begin to train, their eyes shining after hearing what I and Diana have to say.
The martial arts training thus proceeded smoothly.
◇
'Damn ...... Cross's and Nels are both ridiculously strong.'
'Ha ha ha ...... give me a break. Those guys aren't even out of breath."
Ovelia, Mia and the others, who were assigned to the squads that Cross and Nels took, were overwhelmed by the strength of the knights.
The physical capabilities of the beastmen tribe mean that they can fight a little with the adult human tribe.
However, they soon learnt that this was a shallow idea.
The knights' movements were not wasted, and the moves of Ovelia and Mia were quickly read.
As a result, they were unable to compete at all, and the children had to sit on the ground and breathe on their shoulders.
Cross takes one look at the children sitting on the ground, grins and shouts a challenge.
'What's the matter, kids? If you've got time to sit on the ground and rest, why don't you get on it? I'm telling you, ......, Master Rid has witnessed many times every day with me. But I don't sit on the ground and rest like you guys do. Or was your initial momentum just a show?"
Hearing Cross' words, the children look surprised.
Even with their physical abilities, they are no match for him.
It is said that the son of a nobleman boldly challenges such a cross every day.
When the children are told of this fact, they seem to be ignited with a rebellious spirit and have a fighting spirit in their eyes.
In the midst of this, Ovelia slowly stood up and muttered to herself.
'Damn ...... for saying that.'
'It's like, 'Don't fucking pick on the beasties'.'
'Not at all,...... but I think I understand why Master Rid is so strong.'
Her mutterings were answered by Mia and Alma of the Rabbit Tribe.
These girls were followed by Kalua of the Bear people tribe and Cheryl of the Wolf people tribe, who had found themselves approaching them.
'...... I see. But we too will be in an environment where Master Lid has become stronger. Then it will be possible for us to catch up sooner or later.'
'I agree. I will definitely catch up to Master Lid's strength ...... ministry."
Cross and Nels looked at each other and smiled happily.
If we train them strongly, it will surely be for the good of the Bardia territory in the future.
Cross smiles and challenges them again.
'Hmph, I recognise your spirit. But you still don't have enough spirit. I and Nels will deal with you, so you two can come at us together.'
'Yes, sub-commander, that's a bit troublesome.'
Nelles replies lazily to Cross's words, but his eyes are fixed straight on the children.
The beastman children knew they were being provoked, but they boldly challenged the two.
Once the magic training is over, the next step is to move on to martial arts training.
The instructors are made up of members of the Knight's Order, such as Cross and Nels.
