30 minutes later, Tank and Alise went to the guild:
Alise: Rose! We need you!
Me: Alise my advisor is Eina...
Alise: Really? Rose has always followed our family.
Me: She helped me when I arrived so I stayed with her.
Alise: Ah ok, no problem we just invited both! ROSE...!
Rose sticking out her ears: Miss Lovell, a bit of calm I'll take you. What can I do for you today? Another level-up she says laughing.
Me: Exactly, would you have a private room where we can discuss.
Rose stun: Seriously?
Alise: Of course my famillia is the best! she proudly announced.
Eina: Tank, did you really level-up?
Me: Yes really.
Eina: Very well, we'll meet you in room number 2.
Private room number 2.
Eina: So Tank, tell us all how did you level up?
Me: Do I have to tell all my activities in the Dungeon or just my high fact?
Rose: Your activities are already listed normally, so your achievement will be enough, unless you have other things to add.
Me: Very well, my achievement was to kill a black dragon infant with Neze Rankett.
Rose searched in these papers: Ah the one about the incident on the 12th floor?
Me: That's it.
Eina: Very well, Rose do you have the details of the fight?
Rose: Yes, miss Rankett filled it out during her level up statement a few days ago. You just need to have a copy of it. But a question Mr. Yukki, why are you declaring only now?
Me: Because I wanted to push my statistics to the maximum before level up.
Eina: It's damage, by 5 days you would have broken Bell's level up speed record.
Me: It was wanted.
Curious Rose: Why not want to take the record if you could?
Alise: Because he doesn't like attention.
Me: Especially because my famillia doesn't have a level 7 to keep apart other gods. I fully intend to take the level climb records for levels 6 to 9.
Rose: PFF, ambitious.
Angry Eina: TANK! I taught you the adventurers must not seek adventure! Take your time!
Alise: He takes it, in the family it is undoubtedly one of the least reckless.
Rose: It says something about your family, Alise. Ok, I have what I need for the report for the Denatus, you will have the allias tomorrow at the end of the evening normally.
Me: Perfect, thank you both. Have a good day.
Alise: See you later, Eina.
A few minutes later on the street:
Me: Alise, do you have enchantment magic?
Alise: Yes, you've already seen it on top of that.
Me: it was to start the conversation, do you think you might be training me with mine?
Alise delighted: YES! Finally I can help the new one, ok what do you have in mind for training?
Me: I don't really know... do we activate our spells and confront each other?
Alise: That's fine with me.
Manoir poussière d'étoile:
Alise: Here we go, Agaris Alvessynth!
Me: Face the storm, Storm liberation!
Kaguya: Go ahead
From the start, I prepared to charge towards Alise, I took one step after another then... I collapsed on the ground.
Lyra: AHAHAHAH! AND the magic wolf, did you forget how to walk?
Me: Yeah, literally...
Alise held out her hand to me, I hesitated to take it because of the flames so she took it herself.
Alise: My flames only attack my enemies. So the ground tastes good?
Me: Not too much, too earthy. Did you have the same problem?
Alise: A little, my enchantment strengthens all my stats by a lot, even more with my skill so I had to learn how to manage my boosted body. What are you feeling in your lighting?
Me: I feel fast I think. My limbs are lighter, he reacts faster, too quickly.
Kaguya: It's normal, you have your magic that increases your status plus your level transition, you need to get used to your body again. Deactivate your magic, we resume training. Alise, you stay with Tank, Neze against me. Ryu and Lyra face each other.
Alise: I don't like fighting with real weapons...
Kaguya: You'll have to force yourself.
Me: Don't worry, Alise. Attack me.
We set each other back in position by disabling our enchantments. I focused on Alise's position, the place of those feet, those arms, her blade. Then I automatically compared it to my position, noticing lots of small errors that I quickly corrected. When we started exchanging blows, Alise was largely on top, being used to her body and being a level two mid tier. The more our exchanges intensify, the more I understand the logic behind these attacks and the more I integrate this logic into my moves.
As the fight progressed, we found ourselves equalling, my attacks imitating Alise's one more and more.
Kaguya: He copied her.
Neze: And quickly, it's been 45 minutes since they clashed and Tank is already replicating a good part of her movements.
Ryu: He has never shown any intellectual ability and has not awakened any skills justifying this.
Kaguya: No, he awakened a skill, swordman. Normally DAs arise with knowledge and mastery of the related field. It requires intense practice. Mystery unlocked itself so high because of Tank's experience on the stones and Egalizer improved his swordman to the same levels.
Lyra: I follow you but I see where you're going with this.
Ryu: Tank does not have this experience for the purpose of swordman... so he acquires it in real time?
Kaguya: That's what I think, he has a huge knowledge gap in his falna and he is in the process of filling it with Alise's memory.
Neze: Ohoh, Alise is fed up.
Lyra: She activated this serious skill. Tank give up while you still can!
Me: No way!
Kaguya: Silly Captain, Ryu is preparing your healing spell.
As the girls discussed my dazzling learning, Alise became impatient. And activated her skill. Lubruque Bequia this skill allows to boost the user's strength stat by a large amount when in combat, increases their endurance and dexterity stats by a large amount in the face of adversity, and increases their agility and magic stats by a large amount when fighting against a powerful opponent. When all three conditions are met, it further increases the user's strength, agility, and magic stats slightly in proportion to the duration.
Thanks to this skill, her strength, endurance, and dexterity increased quickly, fortunately I don't have the same stats as Alise at the level of two otherwise the three effects would be active. And I already have trouble holding her to defend me.
The more the fight advanced, the more Alise's attacks became heavy, my muscles tiring, my movements slowing down. With a clear blow she disarmed me which marked the end of our fight.
Alise in sweat but smiling: I didn't think I had to use my skill. You made lightning-fast progress during the fight. Your wonderful captain is proud of you.
Kaguya: It was impressive, you have 5 minutes of recovery then you will face me. And I want you to use your enchantment.
Me: Kaguya I can barely walk with.
Kaguya: One more reason, for now you have a great learning phase we will use it.
Quickly a new fight started, this time my powerful attacks inspired by Alise gave way to a style oriented on slash copied from Kaguya. All like with Alise, the beginning of the fight was largely to Kaguya's advantage, she hit me several times on my arms and legs, Ryu intervened several times and the fight resumed. The use of my magic delayed a little but progress. It was only after an hour of intense vomiting that I managed to play equally with Kaguya. Finally it had been until now.
Kaguya: Calamitous flowers of higan. GOKOU!
5 blade of lights hit me in addition to Kaguya's katana, intuitively I blocked the physical blade. I used Kaguya's force to redirect her attack against two blades of light, but the other three hurt me, stopping the fight.
Kaguya smirking: Tired?
Me: No kidding... I've been fighting hard for nearly two hours without rest...
Kaguya: And how will you do for the longer fights in the Dungeon hmm?
Me: I understood...
Ryu: Tank-san I will be your next opponent.
Me tired: With pleasure Ryu. On guard.
It's strange to face a Ryu armed with a metallic sword. His famous wooden sword in the original story comes from a sacred tree branch found in an Evilus warehouse. It is Ardee Varna who made it into a weapon to offer it to Ryu.
Ryu's fighting style is very aerial, a lot of jumping and sliding. Unlike Alise and Kaguya, Ryu fights in three dimension. The agility of her race, combined with her slim waist and precise movement define her fighting style.
Her hits are less precise than those of Kaguya, and less powerful than those of Alise but they follow each other at a much higher speed and hit from very different angles. I didn't have time to adapt, already exhausted by my previous fights I couldn't hold on long enough to learn. Ryu pulls me down with a low attack on my knee before coming up and hitting the back of my neck.
I took advantage of the rest of the afternoon to observe Ryu fighting. To learn from these movements. I know that my profile is likely to attract attention after the denatus, and I must therefore prepare for it.
