"Now it's my turn."
This time, I confronted Makishia.
Makishia is blatantly taking a thrusting stance against me, who is not taking a stance.
A person with average skill would not be able to react even if they knew that a thrust was coming, but that wouldn't work against me. Even though she knew that, she probably decided that it was the best move she could take.
In any case, a half-hearted attack will not work against me.
It's a choice she made after understanding that.
*Whoosh*
That's why, as usual, Makishia throws a full strength thrust at me.
Due to steady basic training, its power has increased compared to when I first saw it. However. I didn't dodge the blow, but rather took it gently. "...!"
*Swish*
Even though she was surprised, Makishia immediately distanced herself from me. Well, if I wanted to pursue them, I could have done it as many times as I wanted. However, this isn't a competition, it's just practice.
"Damn ......! As expected of Charles......! You have the same ability as Iona, but you are more formidable than Iona...!" Iona's skill is not enough to fend off Makishia's full force blows, but I can. This is pure skill, not speed or power.
"Of course, I had considered the option of you being able to dodge or receive it."
"Hmm."
"I never thought you'd be able to receive it in this manner."
It seems that it was quite a shock to her to that I was able to deal with her power in this manner.
"It's based on my technique, so there's no trick or gimmick." "Yeah." "Some magic shields have zero impact from physical attacks." "It's a... vanguard killer shield." As Makishia said, it is truly a nightmare shield for her and Iona, who have practically only physical means of attack.
In particular, it can be said that it is the worst match for Makishia, who has extremely few moves.
"You have to have a certain amount of skill in handling shields, though. If you don't know how to use it, it's nothing but a waste of treasure. The point is how you can use the cards you have in your hand to deal with the cards in your opponent's hand." If the compatibility is right, an unbelievable turn of events (giant-killing) can happen. That's how important chemistry is in a fight. "Do you have any other advice for me?" "Yes, I do."
I would like to point out what I was most concerned about regarding Makishia's behavior. "Shia is too confident in her first attack. There are certainly not many people who can handle the full power thrust of Shia." "So, what's the problem?" "However, I don't want you to rely on it too much. It might work on your first encounter, but you'll need to be more ingenious when dealing with someone who knows your tricks." "What do you mean by ingenuity?"
"You can think of any number of patterns, such as catching the first one and making the next one your main target, can't you? The key is how to use your trump card. That alone will make dealing with Shia many times more difficult than it is now."
"I see. I'm learning a lot." "Next is Shima. Are you ready?" "Yes. I'll be counting on you."
I spared with them all while offering them advice, but no one was able to take one hit from me after I transformed into Iona.
"Iona is the strongest of the four, and I have the most experience. It's no wonder you can't win."
I'm not trying to comfort them or anything, I'm simply telling the truth.
"The purpose is just to practice with everyone. Winning or losing is secondary. Well, if you can beat me, then that's better."
"If we can't win, well, it can't be helped."
There must be something on their mind.
Makishia responds to my words.
"But..."
"What does it mean that Charles, who is supposed to be working without a break, being the least tired?"
I am supposed to be the hardest worker, as Makishia said, but as usual, I have hardly moved at all. So, the physical exhaustion is very small.
As for me, I was training with the challenge of how to keep my wear and tear under control in a state where I had less physical strength than usual, so this training wasn't a waste for me either. Eliminating unnecessary movements and finding the most efficient movements is a very important element in becoming stronger. "It's only natural that I'm not tired. My challenge was to get around with minimal movement in a state where I had less physical strength than usual."
"You weren't just mentoring Sister Shia and everyone, were you?" Maybe that was a big surprise, but Makishina unusually joined the conversation. "That's right. I am using it to also improve myself." "Even though you said you didn’t have any talent, I think I understand why Charles is so strong. It’s because you make sure not to waste even the slightest bit of time." "Time is limited. Too many people don't understand that."
In my experience, I have never met a talented person who always says, 'I'm busy.'
Is their processing speed too slow, or is the way they plan their schedules wrong to begin with?
If you say you're busy, you should first find out why you're busy.
The fact that they don't even try and just keeps repeating "busy, busy" like a mantra is proof of their incompetence.
"That said, I don't want to waste the time I need. Let's take a little break." While I was saying that, the time limit came and my transformation was canceled. The timing was perfect, so I grabbed a drink and took a break. "After you rest for a while, let’s continue sparing with the real me. Needless to say, I’ll be gentle with you." With that in mind, I decided to have them spar with me, as a hero, this time.
