75. Taming (2)
Jenna scratched her cheek and blinked.
It was a puzzled expression. I said.
“What are you doing? It’s not going up. Two people are waiting.”
“You mean to fight those two? It’s scary for some reason…”
“Don’t worry. You are stronger.”
It is true.
Jenna had the experience of winning me once. It was the result of a mix of ugliness and half luck, but winning was winning. I don’t think I’ll lose against two people who don’t match at all.
Belquist’s eyes went cold.
“I heard you well. But aren’t you ignoring me too much? I don’t know about you, but I don’t think you’ll lose to that young lady.”
“You’ll know if you try.”
“More than anything, I don’t like fighting with her. I’m good enough on my own. It’s just a hindrance.”
“You do what I say.”
The two looked at each other and started growling.
I didn’t think it was good, but it seemed like it was worse than that.
I said.
“Then show me the results. If you beat Jenna, I’ll fight for as long as you want.”
“I hope you don’t break that promise.”
I chinned Jenna.
Jenna hesitated for a moment, then sighed deeply and took a quiver from the display case. The quiver contains round-headed arrows. Her killing power is weak, but it has the penetrating power to tear through her flesh and muscles.
“I will leave it up to you.”
Entering the arena, Jenna greeted awkwardly.
Belquist nodded and spoke to Nerissa.
“You are out.”
Nerissa smiled coldly and slid aside.
Belquist gripped the hilt of the sword.
“I’m going.”
ping!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zena’s arrow was shot. Belquist ducked to avoid him. At the same time, a second arrow aimed at the leg. Avoided that too. At the same time, a third arrow aimed at Belquist’s head.
ping! Ping ping ping ping!
Belquist’s expression hardened.
A red light flashed in Jenna’s eyes. The effect of spotting weaknesses. In addition, rapid fire followed by rapid fire aimed at Belquist’s whole body. Belquist swung his sword and knocked out several arrows, but he was helplessly pushed back and cornered in the arena.
And the 21st arrow grazed the nape of Belquist’s neck and got stuck in the barbed wire fence.
obvious mismatch.
Had he tried to hit it, the arrow would have lodged itself in Belquist’s airways.
I spoke to Belquist, who was frozen in the corner of the arena.
“Didn’t I tell you? I’m stronger than you.”
Jenna faced me dozens of times, who had a strong resistance to throwing weapons.
He knew very well how to shoot an arrow to make it difficult for the opponent to avoid and block it. If it got caught properly, there was no way Belquist could handle the difficult shots.
“Was it a frog in the well?”
Belquist caressed the wound on his neck.
“I say it again. Fight together with Nerissa. The two of you must work together to defeat Jenna. The deadline is two days. If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to find another member.”
I spoke.
“We fight many enemies, strong enemies in our missions. If you’ve seen it, you’ll know. But why are you trying to fight alone? You’re not even basic.”
In the initial briefing, both of them replied that they knew, but the reality would be different.
There are things you cannot do alone.
I was thinking of making this perfectly clear.
“Isn’t it my turn?”
Nerissa stepped out.
‘Stubborn.’
Nerissa didn’t last long with Jenna. Her throwing spears and daggers all missed, and an arrow pierced her right arm before reaching the range of the three swords.
Nerissa left the arena without a word.
Then he gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow.
I chuckled.
“As you can see the result. Both of them lasted less than a minute in the individual event.”
The difference in level and skill cannot be denied.
However, he lacked experience as well.
Belquist brushed off the blood on his left hand and said.
“Can we beat that lady together? Okay. I don’t like it, but I’ll try.”
When Belquist glared at him, Jenna smiled shyly.
After healing her wounds, Nerissa returned to the arena. There was a rare enthusiasm in her cold expression. Belquist and Nerissa stood side by side.
“Game 2. It won’t be easy this time.”
Jenna replaced the empty quiver.
“I’m going.”
Belquist and Nerissa scattered left and right.
It was the same way it used to pincer me.
‘It’s terrible.’

Jenna’s continuous shot was fired at Nerissa on the right.
As Nerissa’s three swords danced and bounced arrows, Jenna quickly ran out and swung the dagger in her left hand. She spattered thin streams of blood. Nerissa stepped aside, missing his triple sword. Jenna shifted her weapon from the same position she swung her dagger and fired an arrow as she tumbled around. The target is Belquist on the left.
The results were unchanged.
Belquist lasted longer than the first, but was unable to break through the rain of arrows.
I said in a low voice.
“What are you doing? You’re worse than alone.”
thud!
Belquist hit the barbed wire fence hard with the scabbard.
“Damn it.”
“It doesn’t change even if you curse. Or should I join the 2nd party? They don’t train like this there.”
“I’ll do it again just once.”
Belquist and Nerissa returned to their original positions.
Even on the way back, the two exchanged accusations.
“You can’t even last 10 seconds. You’re really useless.”
“Don’t tell others. A guy who can’t even swing a knife.”
Iolka said, flapping her fan.
“Those two are strangely well suited. Don’t you think so?”
“What are you doing here? Isn’t it telekinesis training time now?”
“No, me too…”
“If you don’t disappear within 10 seconds, I’ll tell Chloe. 10, 9…”
“Go in! I’m going in! Anyway, for real!”
Iolka hurriedly opened the door to the magic hall and entered.
I turned my gaze to the arena.
The second match between Jenna, Belquist, and Nerissa was taking place. Again, the two tactics are the same. Everyone splits up and fights in their own way.
‘Things I can’t understand with words.’
The guys whose heads are not bad are not thinking.
I’m aware of it, but maybe my pride won’t allow it.
I decided not to open my mouth.
You can forcibly dictate tactics, but if you don’t realize it yourself, if you don’t feel the need for it, it’s meaningless. I don’t need a doll that just obeys my orders.
The results of the second round also came naturally.
It was Jenna’s victory.
3 rounds, 4 rounds, 5 rounds.
The two adhered to the same tactics and met the same defeat. Both of them got used to Jenna’s shooting little by little, but Jenna’s case is different from Aaron’s. It was not difficult to play with the two by mixing various tactics such as shooting according to the situation, position change, and weapon replacement.
“…”
I glanced to the side.
Aaron is looking at the arena with a bitter expression. The hand that moved the window stopped.
‘Can not help it.’
It does not interfere with the 2nd party’s territory.
It belonged to Edith. Along with other parties that will increase later.
The system collapses when I put my hands on it one by one. I don’t know if I was the master, but as the leader and hero of the first party, I couldn’t look after all the members in the waiting room. Aaron soon turned his head away from the arena and resumed his training.
“Once more.”
“No. I…”
Jenna waved her hand at Belquist’s words.
By now, it was evening. The number of times Jenna and the two faced each other was more than 10.
It all ended with Jenna’s victory.
“Miss Jenna, it might be difficult, but…”
“It’s hard for me to watch too. That’s it for today. Do it again tomorrow.”
“There’s still a lot of time left, isn’t it?”
“Because of you guys, Jenna couldn’t do personal training today. Don’t take other people’s time.”
I thought I would get the odds within the 10th inning, but my progress is slower than expected.
I couldn’t get my hands on the afternoon training because I was watching the two of them. It was a loss.
“As I said, the deadline is until tomorrow. Beat Jenna within that time. If that doesn’t work, I’ll find another member too.”
“Are you serious?”
“Does it look like a joke?”
He knew that Belquist and Nerissa were no good for Jenna.
But after fighting so much, I couldn’t find a solution.
“Tomorrow’s Dalian is only allowed once. If we lose there, it’s over.”
“…”
“Don’t let me down.”
Belquist and Nerissa’s expressions contorted.
The two of them left the training center without anyone knowing. didn’t say anything
Jenna wiped the sweat from her forehead and left the arena. Her face was a little pale, perhaps because she repeated the sparring. Jenna asked me.
“Brother, are you serious? You’re sending those two out.”
“Did you see that I lied?”
“I’ve seen quite a few. Well, the other day…”
I hit Jenna’s head.
Jenna grabbed her head and cried.
“Anyway, that’s true. Even if you have great talent, it’s useless if you don’t know how to cooperate.
“Well, I agree with you. But, except for the two of them, there doesn’t seem to be any talented people who can come to the first party. I can’t believe Aaron oppa…”
“Not Aaron.”
After today’s personal training, on the way home.
Jenna asked me.
“What will happen tomorrow?”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
there’s no way you don’t know how
It’s just that you don’t trust the co-worker next to you. Or believe in yourself too much. Either way, it was an inappropriate disposition to survive for long.
‘But if I could change that… … .’
the next morning.
Belquist and Nerissa didn’t show up for morning training.
Iolka opened her mouth.
“Two of you, where did you go?
“No, I went to the first floor.”
“Why on the first floor?”
“He asked me to give him some time.”
Yesterday at dawn, Nerissa came to the room.
The purpose is to ask for two people to be removed from tomorrow’s training schedule. I readily agreed.
Iolka’s complexion brightened.
“Then today’s training is…”
“Two people are missing, so we need to increase the intensity.”
“I knew it!”
Gizzards were added to Iolka that morning.
and afternoon.
The two only showed up at the training center as the time approached evening. I sheathed my sword and approached them both.
“Are you ready enough?”
“As much as you can.”
Nerissa replied.
Belquist was expressionless, but the desire to compete could be seen in his eyes.
“Jenna.”
“Yes, I’m coming.”
Jenna, who was practicing at the shooting range, came down.
Jenna wiped her sweat with a towel and looked at them alternately.
“Are you both ready? My brother said it’s a one-shot.”
“I’m ready.”
“I’ll go up first.”
Jenna agilely stood on top of the arena.
Two daggers hang from the left side of the belt, and a shortbow and quiver of arrows hang from the right side.
“Do what we discussed.”
Nerissa whispered to Belquist.
Belquist furrowed his eyebrows, but then untied them again.
Soon, two people entered the arena. The iron window closed with a loud sound.
“The rules are the same as yesterday. Use weapons in actual combat. Other than that, there are no restrictions. You only have one chance.”
“I know.”
Nerissa drew her three swords.
Belquist was also prosecuted. Belquist took up his stance and muttered:
“It doesn’t suit me. But I can’t help it.”
Dalian start.
As always, we start with Zena’s first attack.
“…?”
Jenna tilted her head before pulling out her arrow.
As soon as it started, the two who had scattered left and right stood still.
“I’m going anyway!”
Jenna’s arrow was fired at Nerissa.
Nerissa has weaker throw resistance than Belquist. It was difficult to parry the arrows with his thin sword. To knock down the weak side first. It was a natural decision.
But Belquist, who was standing beside her, moved and split an arrow that was aimed at Nerissa.
Nerissa then threw a dagger.
Jenna managed to roll to avoid the dagger. At the same time, a second shot follows. Jenna had the ability to sustain her fire in any stance. Two arrows aimed at Nerissa’s whole body.
“I can see it now.”
[Skill awakening!]
[‘Belquist (★★)’ has learned ‘Throw Resistance’!]
As Belquist swung his sword, the arrows fell side by side.
Belquist, who raised the blade to the side, charged at Jenna as it was.
“It’s far.”
Jenna calmly put an arrow through the string.
The distance between the two sides is not close. It was still Jenna’s territory. Five arrows were fired at Belquist, aiming for gaps in vital points and movements.
Belquist dodged one arrow and knocked out two.
Two arrows left. unavoidable bearing and speed. Belquist, however, did not stop his charge. Suddenly, Nerissa appeared from behind and split the two arrows with her sharp sword.
‘It took two days.’
I sighed.
If you can’t stop alone, you can stop together.
Did you procrastinate like that because you didn’t know something simple?
Belquist and Nerissa broke through the fire, covering each other’s weaknesses, and came within range of Jenna’s attacks.
The two split left and right there.
merged at the same time
‘It’s over.’
“this!”
Avoiding Belquist’s slash, Jenna kicked the fence and jumped upwards.
The shuriken chased after Jenna’s back. Then, rising to the same spot, Nerissa stabbed her with a dagger. Along with him, Belquist stabbed from the bottom up.
“Ugh!”
Jenna’s posture is disturbed. The dress was torn long.
Nerissa held on to Jenna, who had not been able to catch it.
The dagger in his left hand touched Jenna’s neck.
“It’s over.”
“I lost, did I lose?”
Jenna scratched her head.
“Something this easy.”
Belquist murmured dejectedly.
I walked out laughing.
“I struggled all day because I didn’t know how easy it was.”
If the two of them watched the battle in the boss stage, there is no way they wouldn’t have known.
The fact that the strength of the group takes precedence over the strength of the individual there. It’s just that they couldn’t accept it mentally. I just made you realize that part.
“Anyway, it’s passed. Be aware of how you feel right now.”
“If you fight in this way, can you win the senior?”
“Would you like to try?”
I drew my sword
And of course.
Two of them were mercilessly smashed by me.
