To Adventurer Guild
How was I able to obtain combat skill that I didnt manage to learn until now?
Furthermore it wasnt just Short Sword skill that I had been training for. I also obtained the skill Martial Art at the same time. In addition I also obtained Pressurecould it be, that time.
I must have obtained Pressure from when I directed killing intent toward Viro. In that case, it would make sense if I also obtained the other skills at that time too.
I had been training in short sword skill all this time, but I was able to obtain martial art skill must be from all the practices of falling safely and the way of moving my body that Feld taught me. For all of them to bear fruit simultaneously like thisperhaps experiencing a real battle where I risked my life had given a strong impact into my soul.
Come on, dont just look dazed over there, were going to the guild.
Yes.
Viro lightly tapped my shoulder and started walking ahead. I hurriedly followed behind him while continuing my thinking for a bit.
Skill wasnt something that could be obtained that easily. I knew that I had knowledge that rivaled adult though it was unbalanced to certain aspects and better foundation than the average children to obtain skill, but although obtaining short sword skill was just to be expected, being able to obtain martial art too was too much of a result. But according to the knowledge of that woman, it seemed there was a story Being able to cut down a man with a sword is to have the skill of dan one. I didnt know whether in that womans previous life, dan one was equal to level 1 or not, but I obtained the skill might be because I went through such fight that pushed me to the limit.
Well, Viro wasnt serious at all in that fight though, but being captured by a thief would be the same as being death or worse, so I was also desperate at that time.
However I got the feeling that it was slightly different with the case of Pressure. Certainly my fight against Viro served as the impetus, but a normal kidno, even a normal adult couldnt learn Pressure easily.
A battle that put your life at risk. A clear intent to kill your enemy. And thenexperience I guess. A normal commoner would never emit something like killing intent. And a child who was able to emit killing intent and learn Pressure might be a very odd existence from the perspective of ordinary people.
It would be better if I didnt expose my hands to much until I became a bit stronger.
.
I followed behind Viro outside the slum quarters and came out to the main street.
I believed that I had cleaned up myself somewhat, but I felt a little dirty again after going through that fight.
I cleaned myself partly so that I wouldnt be sized up when making a deal, but the biggest reason was because I didnt want to stand out. More than three weeks had passed since I killed the old hag, so it was hard to imagine that there was still pursuer searching for the culprit, even so surely there were still people in this city who remembered that such incident had happened at the neighboring town.
The clothes she was wearing was somewhat worn out, but it was a simple type of clothing that most people worn, and her hair was sprinkled with ash so that her originally pink blond hair didnt stand out. And yet, I felt gazes from several people being directed to me as I walked on the street.
Was it because they were thinking of me as a resident of the slum quarters? Nobody said anything because right now I was together with an adult, but if I was alone here there was a possibility that I would get dragged into some kind of trouble. While I was thinking such thing, I turned my gaze to the adult in question Viro. It was then he looked back with a slight grimace and met my gaze.
What?
Aa~you know, if you want to hide your face, how about you use something more proper to wrap around your neck? Ill buy it for you over there.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
Its fine I guess.
I see, the ragged cloth that I wrapped around my neck to hide my face was standing out. This fabric was just a makeshift scarf that I got from cutting ragged clothes that I didnt use anymore with a knife and wrapped around my neck simply to hide my face. I had washed it, but certainly its appearance was still not good.
Oo, I see. Theenoh, over there.
Viro looked relieved for some reason and looked around before he found a stall and headed there. I also followed behind him toward where he was looking at.
Yes, welcome-!
The auntie who seemed to be the stall owner called out to Viro cheerfully. It seemed this stall was selling cloth, but it also sold some simple clothes that served as example of the clothes at the same time.
Do you have something like muffler to be wrapped around the neck? One that can hide your face.
It seemed that the fact that I didnt have skill until just now had slipped out of his memory.
You cant use it even though you can fight that much and also use body strengthening-? Damn.
If you dont mind, how about receiving a short course of Battle Skill for short sword level 1? Though it will cost you. The fee will be five silver coins.
There is that butin that case I can also borrow a place and be the one teaching her.
Is that so? Then it will cost you one silver coin to use the underground training ground for one hour, will that be fine?
I think that way will be faster. Wait, thats right, you can use Heals spell arent you?
Viro recalled that and asked me with a small voice. Then the receptionist who heard that showed a surprised expression and lowered her voice too.
She can use light sorcery in that age? In that case you can also pass the test by displaying Heal. We can ask the adventurers around here, there must be some of them who have injury on their body right now. No, please wait for a bit.
The woman thought of something and headed toward another staff behind her. They talked about something before returning immediately.
My apologies. In case of young sorcererespecially when their element is light, there is a risk that some unscrupulous adventurers will work them like a slave before throwing them away. It will be a different story if you are joining this persons party, but if you are also going to work solo sometimes, it will be better if your information isnt being spread out for a while.
My party isnt active right now after all
Then, we will have to wait until a trusted adventurer arrive before giving the test
Viro. I want to learn Battle Skill.
The two of them turned toward me at the same time again when I spoke out once more.
If its just the room usage fee, Ill pay.
No, I can pay for just that amount as a necessary expense. Certainly doing it that way will leave fewer problem for later.
Then, if you have decided, can I take a look at your tag first? Also please write the age and name of the person who will be registered.
Ageten years old.
Is she ten years old? It feels like she is younger than that though.
Its just a difference of one or two years right? And nameyou, whats your name?
From Viros perspective, it seemed that I looked like eight or nine years old right now. Also he only noticed after this late that he never asked me my name until now. He raised his head from the paperwork and looked back at me.
Aria.
Ou, I see, I see.
The receptionist who was watching our exchange was looking at Viro with a very stern gaze while muttering.
How can you not even know her name. You arent kidnapping that child arent you?
Dont be rude. Take a damn good look at the persons face properly first before making your judgment.
After being told that, the receptionist stared fixedly on Viros face.
You arent kidnapping that child arent you?
Hell no-!
