149 – Hatching

Hacking

Mia catches her breath and looks at her rai in front of her eyes.

Under the name of continuous sparring, they sparred with everyone in the garden, and the last one was like a final boss.

Even if I have the best body, I can’t compete with him, so just standing still is too much for me.

She lacks the magical power that seemed to be infinite, so she can’t properly control her cog wheel, which she named the crescent moon, so she keeps forcibly lifting things that fall to the ground.

Looking at Rai, who has unfathomable skills, Mia gulps down her saliva and clasps her spear.

She is looking at it with a mischievous look that is no different from usual, but Mia, feeling a sense of danger, charges forward with her spear blade.

She hasn’t learned her spear properly in less than a year, but as if her efforts weren’t in vain, she sharpens her body with her spear.

She slowly reached out her hand, and when her rai touched the blade of her spear, which was digging under her hand, a force that she could not handle pressed down.

“……!!”

Feeling that the blade of her spear is being sucked into the ground, Mia tries to hold on so as not to miss her spear, but rather loses her balance and is exposed defenselessly in front of her rai.

At this time, she gave her a crescent moon, but she could not defend her empty upper body because it was located under the window.

Mia’s jaw turns with the sound of her blow, and her body rotates under the enormous pressure that follows.

Mia, who couldn’t even count how many times she had spun in the air, looked up to see Rai looking down.

A sense of helplessness that she cannot win and a sense of fear from the unknown power seize her body.

The corner of Rai’s mouth goes up as she sees her eyes losing her will to fight.

“Wake up, whoa, whoa? Whoa what was that? Juan? Huel? Anyway, are you going to kneel in front of him like this?”

When Rai mentions the name of one of her academy students who bullied Mia, her eyes change.

Her cute eyes turn sharp with anger and vengeance, and blood trickles out from her tight little mouth.

Mia forcibly raised her body up with her trembling legs as she couldn’t enter her strength. She pulled out her mana as hard as she could to show her bottom and lifted her crescent moon.

“Good job, the only time the crescent moon falls to the ground is when you die. Whether you pass out or lose your arm, never let go of the crescent moon.”

Rai’s fists of praise were raised high into the sky.

With her short blow again, Mia loses her mind just like that.

When Mia came back to her senses, everyone else had already completed her training and was in tatters.

Abigail was training elsewhere and was the only normal one, but she was so mad she was kicking a punching bag in the corner of the garden.

“It’s water, I worked hard.”

“Thank you, senpai. But… Why does Abigail senpai…”

Zeroa, who was handing her water, smiled bitterly at Mia’s question.

“I don’t seem to get along with instructor Xenia…”

“Ah…”

Without any explanation, Mia nodded her head as if she understood.

Although she didn’t understand her principles, Mia knew that Abigail’s sword technique, Ju Enu Lushot So, was created by the fusion of her divine power and magical power.

Now that Abigail has just acquired her divine power, Rai sent her to her Xenia in order to increase her power.

Xenia, who had an unusual history of being a priest while teaching her alchemy, was the only instructor at her academy with divine power.

But Abigail is the complete opposite of her temperament: gentle, warm, innocent, laughing, soft and static.

‘It sounds like you’re cursing Abigail-senpai…’

Anyway, since two people with different inclinations met, there seems to be a problem.

Others don’t know the circumstances, but Abigail met Xenia and the only things she did were praying, volunteering, and cleaning.

‘hehehe, God recognizes us if we serve the world.’

Seeing Xenia talking with a warm smile along with her fresh light blue hair, Abigail couldn’t help but frown at her.

The martial arts competition was right around the corner, and while the other guys were training to the bone, he was watering the flower garden, so it was unbearable.

No matter how sternly you make a face or say something threatening, Xenia smiles warmly and God bless you. She only talks about it.

Abigail, who has had a hellish time feeling that she would be more comfortable fighting Lai, kicks her punching bag hard and blows it away.

“Is this really helpful? Or I’ll kill you.”

“I don’t know. I’m not a priest.”

She was Abigail gnashing her teeth at Rai who replied with a mean expression, but she held back her anger.

However, when the punching bag that flew high into the sky fell again, the neighborhood gangsters stepped on it like stepping on a person.

“Come on then, everyone gather around.”

People gather and sit down in the grassy field where the rais sit haphazardly.

As the martial arts tournament approached, the intensity of the training increased, but no one complained and followed along well.

Except for Abigail.

Her appearance is a mess, but Rai, who scanned her gun-infested eyes, put her chin on her head and says.

“There are only three days left, so there’s no next training. I’ll limit my personal training to two hours.”

“Yeah! I’m finally getting some rest.”

“Can I?”

As soon as Rai finishes speaking, unlike Aslan, who cheers, Zeroa asks in a worried voice.

Her mind is the same as Asran’s, but she glances at Mia, who pretends to nod her head after seeing what Zeroa is saying, Lai says lazily.

“You should get used to resting and conditioning your body. Are you going to go to the battlefield with a messed up body?”

“I see…”

“You need to learn how to be lazy.”

Zeroa nods her head, but her Abigail looks at her with disgruntled eyes.

After a week of learning divine power from Xenia, her body was at its best even after she had less training.

“Yes, you should do it for 3 hours each. Rest well the day before the martial arts competition.”

“Make it 4 hours.”

“This is not a bargain. An extra hour doesn’t make you better. What’s your current goal?”

“…… Killing all the kids in a martial arts competition.”

“I’m well aware of it. Then I’ll do my best to kill you.”

Still dissatisfied, Abigail nods her head.

“Ah, keep going to Xenia.”

Abigail’s expression is wrinkled at the last words.

Giggling at her expression, Rai raises one of her fingers.

“This is the last lecture before the martial arts competition. What is each of you’s weapons?”

At Rai’s question, the children face each other for a moment.

“Is it infinite stamina?”

“Magic power… I guess? Crescent moon?”

“Jue Enu Russasso.”

“It must be the swordsmanship I learned from my master.”

“……”

Except for Zeroa, everyone answered.

Other people stare at him without a word, but he remains silent as if he can’t think of anything.

Athlan or Filia tried to answer instead, but Rai spoke first.

“Don’t talk about what everyone knows, skills and magic are just side effects anyway.”

“Then what do you want to say?”

“Strength is not an easy thing to get just because you got a legendary weapon.”

Rai shakes her head in pity at Abigail’s provocative gaze.

“Magic, skills, magic, experience, combat tendencies, and tactics are very complex elements. Did you get confused by the word weapon? Let’s change the word to be strength. What are each of you’s strengths?”

Even Aslan doesn’t answer easily, as if he has a lot to think about this time.

Lai, who had been waiting for a while, shrugged her shoulders and looked at Aslan.

“Asran, you have a strong body, and the confidence gained from that body, and the spirit of taking a step forward with confidence.”

“Is it spiritualism after all?”

“That’s right, it’s a common spiritual theory. Pride! Faith! Resolution! Ohh- Awakening!”

Rai, speaking playfully, laughs at her children’s confused expressions.

“No one can take another step in battle. Being so stupid that it will sometimes be a weakness, but your blessed body will offset that. You always look ahead and don’t be afraid to take a step. That’s what makes your battle. It’s fundamental.”

“Do I look like someone who is afraid of me?”

“Yes, that’s the attitude. You already know it, so keep moving forward. The only way out of the limbs is a step forward.”

Thinking that it was something cool, Aslan muttered with a satisfied expression, and Rai looked at Abigail.

“You fight very calmly. Your rough-looking body movements, your sharp-witted actions, your ferociousness as if you’re desperate, and your actions like a third-class bully are all for the sake of fooling the opponent. Well- the same goes for your actual personality.”

“……”

Abigail glares at her, but Rai still laughs and says her words.

“Never lose your cool. If that’s the case, it’s worth going against Violet. I’m not sure if I’ll win.”

That was enough.

She hasn’t given up on her desire to defeat her one day, but when she sees Violet’s skills, she can’t help but feel frustrated.

The word that she can handle with her overwhelming skill was nothing short of praise for her Abigail.

Next is Philia.

“You are like Abigail, but different. You are aware of your surroundings and judge battles strategically, not tactically. Use what is usable and discard what is wasted. A great commander’s sense.”

“Thank you.”

“There are also disadvantages of looking too broadly and using too much brain power, which is poor. There will be problems in a fight with an equal competitor who is defeated by a momentary mistake. Because he is smart, he assumed all situations from the beginning fight back.”

When I mention her strengths and weaknesses, Philia replies that she will know with her firm face.

“Mia next.”

“Yes, yes!”

She thought it would be her turn, but when her name is called, Mia gets nervous and answers loudly.

“You are very talented. But you are a coward.”

“… I’m sorry.”

“And now I’m developing on a rage basis.”

Mia’s eyes shake at Rai’s words.

This is undeniable. For her, the driving force behind her overcoming this difficult training was the gathering of what she had been through so far.

Of course there are Zeroana and Rai, but the most basic emotion is anger.

“If it manifests in a good way, it becomes the momentum to understand the weak’s mind. It is important to be able to understand the weak. Many strong people in the world fail to understand the mind and die absurdly.”

“…….. Uh…”

“You’re careless.”

Filia answers instead of Mia who doesn’t understand.

Rai nods her head.

“That’s right, don’t be vigilant. No matter how much you emphasize it, those who have become stronger will never know. Most of them will not understand until the end no matter how many times they fall into danger after experiencing it themselves. It will be of great help if you understand that part when you grow up. It will be. Your basic fighting style starts with defense.”

“……And what about the bad side?”

Mia doesn’t forget Rai’s comment, saying it’s a good thing, and asks her the opposite case.

“That’s being cocky.”

“Eh-?”

“Originally, the more people suffer, the more they want to pay it back. Especially when I have more power. How good it is to be able to step on the person who bullied me at will. It’s amazing.”

Seeing Rai smiling with mad eyes, Mia got goosebumps and pulled her body back.

“Revenge is of course. I was slapped on the cheek? Then you have to blow the bamboo bread and shake off the corn. But if you get tainted with that pleasure, you will regret it greatly someday even when you grow up.”

“I will definitely remember what the instructor said.”

Mia thought she said this because she was afraid that Rai would change her personality after giving back to the children she bullied.

Unlike Mia, who simply thought that she was a true teacher who guides academy students to the right path, Philia understood the meaning of her words.

The technique of physical defense using a huge iron block, immature spearmanship and combat abilities that have just been learned, and mighty magic.

When she puts her cards together, it becomes a fighting style in which she hardens her defenses and uses her magic to attack.

Her mana control is inexperienced, so she can’t do anything without the precondition of her solid defense.

Rai was talking about her focus on her defense, but Philia, noticing that Mia understood differently, feels compelled to tell her later.

“Zeroa.”

“Yes. Instructor Rai.”

She replies in a sincere voice, Zero, who hadn’t said anything until now.

He’s in a slump right now.

Due to the limitations of his talent, his growth was slowing down, and recently he even lost in sparring with Mia.

She believes in her talent. Although she thought she would one day outshine herself, she questioned herself, knowing that she never thought she would be overtaken so soon.

As the question deepens, confidence decreases and frustration covers the body.

He behaves brightly in front of people, but deep inside his heart, dark feelings are growing.

“What are your strengths?”

Unlike her other children, Rai asks questions without telling her the answer.

At her words of blaming her for her low self-esteem, Zero Ah bites her lip.

“No.”

“No, why not. You go…”

Asran tried to deny it, but Philia stopped her and shut her mouth.

“Stupid.”

Her Abigail clicks her tongue and looks away from her while Rai smiles and gives her the correct answer.

“You are an experience.”

“……”

“Experience is amazing. Even great people who have made achievements in one field become beginners in another field. Look at Philia and Aslan. These bastards are always scolded by Sena for not doing housework.”

Even when Rai said it playfully, Zeroa’s expression was still dark.

“By the way, as experience accumulates, you get some tips? If it’s a similar field, previous experience helps, and you learn it faster because of it. That way, as you accumulate experience again, you can connect with the next field. “

“What do you have to do with housework?”

Zeroa laughs bitterly.

“No. So what? Did you just do housework? You’ve made weapons, driven horses, and have forest knowledge comparable to that of a ranger. Your weapons are know-how and knowledge from countless experiences. What did you say you wanted to do? ?”

“… To stand by …”

“Yes, you’re just a bit weak in person-to-person combat. It doesn’t mean that your value is undermined. Don’t be distracted by kids’ pranks like fighting competitions and focus on what you want.”

Aria’s face comes to mind when she says she wants it.

Zeroa faces Rai with strong eyes and nods her head.

Rai nodded at him who was determined and gave a meaningful smile as he looked at the other children.

“Concentrate, children. Face your strengths and weaknesses squarely and frantically think about how to use them. You guys are now ready. Now you have to break the eggs and hatch them.”

Seeing the children listening with unwavering eyes, Rai shrugs his shoulders.

“Well- it’s a chick even if it hatches.”

Hearing his words, Philia let out a sigh.

“I knew you would say that.”

“Damn it. They always talk crap at the end.”

“I’ll show you a f*cking strong chick.”

“I will do my best too!”

“The egg hatches first.”

Fortunately, the reaction of the children was not bad.
