Chapter 5: What Are You Doing? (2)

The inevitable squabble of the children began.

Then, lets clarify a few things. Thats okay, right?

Of course, ask anything.

Okay.

Lucia took a deep breath.

She was aware of her fiery temperament.

She was determined not to repeat the same mistake.

Her opponent was a ten-year-old child; he probably didnt know better. It was up to her, an adult, to guide him.

There were more than one or two points to criticize, but first.

I can somewhat understand wildly swinging the training weapon.

Hmm.

Its a common mistake made by those ignorant of martial arts. For your reference, I am an expert.

So, to an expert, it looked wild. I thought I was careful. Disappointing.

The smile disappeared from Shirons face. But Lucia had no intention of stopping. She was not faint-hearted enough to stop here.

The arrow that had been fired could not be turned back.

Firstly, there are several strange aspects in your peculiar actions and what you call training. Im not sure where to begin, but first.

Lucia pointed at the training weapons lying messily on the floor.

I can understand the sword, spear, and mace. One can get used to distances simply by swinging them.

Right.

Shiron folded his arms and nodded. It was an attitude of silently listening. Lucia seemed content with his reaction and cleared her throat a bit.

Now, the main point. Why on earth are you swinging a dagger, shield, and staff? Your training method is completely wrong.

You have a point.

Indeed, Shiron understood why Lucia criticized his training method.

It might have been obvious. At a glance, his training method was neither systematic nor efficient, just a mere repetitive act.

Moreover, Shiron himself realized that what he just did was abnormal when he thought about it. However, that was before Shiron verified his skill level.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

Shiron unfolded his arms and let out a deep sigh.

Where should I start explaining this?

As the situation got complicated, he felt a headache coming on. Shiron pressed hard on the back of his neck.

Lucia has a point. In a spacious area, the use of a dagger is often limited during battles. And its better to separately learn shield techniques. If one cant feel mana, theres no need to discuss the staff.

Lets stop such ignorant training then. If you develop wrong habits from a young age, youll definitely regret it.

.

Shiron stared intently at Lucias face. Then he approached her and lightly patted her on the shoulder.

I appreciate your concern, but Ill decline.

What?

Helleun.

Helleun is a warm plain in the southwest of the empire.

I was born and raised in the north.

What are you trying to say?

Lucia squinted at Shiron, annoyed by his roundabout way of speaking.

Shiron carefully collected his pieces from the board game. He was tired from the pointless argument. Unnecessary energy expenditure was unwelcome.

Do you not know because youre from the south? In the north, theres a method to train by becoming one with nature and water in the snow.

Of course, it was nonsense. Shiron just made that up on the spot. He didnt particularly want to lie, but he couldnt possibly explain that he was trying to increase his cold resistance, so he fabricated the story.

What, what nonsense are you spouting? Dont you just not want to admit something?

Lucia rebuked Shiron as if he was talking absolute gibberish.

It was frustrating and maddening.

Even though it was a memory from 500 years ago, it was clear to her. There was no such training method in the north, even during the times when she was known as Kyrie. She knew well because she was originally from the northern ethnic group.

However, separate from that, she couldnt tell Shiron she was reincarnated. Even she herself knew how unbelievable it was to claim she had reincarnated

Could it be, over the past 500 years, some new training method has been developed?

She tried to be a bit flexible in her thoughts.

Lies. If that was true, then many wouldnt have died of frostbite. If such a method existed, many wouldnt have died in vain.

If you find it hard to believe, Ill show you evidence.

Shiron began to scoop up a handful of snow and slide it inside his clothing.

What are you doing?

Just watch.

Spreading his arms wide, Shiron looked up proudly.

As you can see, I didnt scream at all. Its not cold. It just feels like ice has touched me.

In reality, although Shiron felt the cold sensation, he wasnt taken aback by a sudden shock.

Youve gone mad from the cold.

Youre crazy.

Shiron gave a bitter smile, knowing they werent on the same page. Even after showing her directly, he was treated like a madman. Arguing with a kid wasnt just draining physically but mentally, too. He was nearly exhausted.

Should I just outright tell her that Im a player? That this is a game world, and I know about everything thats going to happen If I dont get treated as a madman, thatll be fortunate.

Lucia heaved a deep sigh. She felt defeated in an argument with a kid. Regret surged, wishing she had studied a bit in her past life.

Im going insane. Should I just say outright that Ive reincarnated? But I have no way to prove that Ive reincarnated. If I tell this ten-year-old kid about my memories, hell surely think Im just boasting.

Revealing her identity as a reincarnated person would be problematic. Just a moment ago, Shiron was flustered by every word Lucia said. Fortunately, the grown-up wasnt being chided for bickering with a child.

Their patience was wearing thin. Both Lucia and Shiron felt the same.

A brief silence hovered between them. The one to break it was Lucia.

Youre weaker than me.
