Chapter 210.2 - Training 1
Unfortunately though, since the control was perfectly synchronized with me, my offshoot's eyes would be in sync with my real eyes.
Well then, let's start our alchemy training.
On my real body's side, we were about to start alchemy training with the other sorcerer-type members.
The sorcerer-type members were as follows, Cyromancer- Class Rep, Geomancer- Randou, Aquamancer- Shimokawa, Healer- Himeno, Saint- Sakura, and Tendou-kun who was looking at us while smoking his cigarettes.
In fact, I knew that Tendou-kun had learned sorcery-type skills too. Simply put, he was truly a cheat-like character.
Well then, everyone, take a look at this. This is the most basic Simple Alchemy Formation.
I drew a huge Simple Alchemy Formation on the blackboard near the entrance.
Now that I'm looking at it again, even that simple one is already pretty complicated.
Are you telling me this magic circle is gonna pop out of nowhere when you learn the skill? Ain't that kinda unfair?
I don't have that much confidence in my memorization skill.
The biggest advantage of having alchemy skills was the fact that you could draw the transmutation circle with machine-like precision using magic. It would be something along a magic circle of light.
When I used Shaman's Skull, I could also make Simple Alchemy Formation in one shot.
Still, it'll show its effect by drawing the magic circle itself.
In the first place, the first magic circle that I had wasn't Simple Alchemy Formation, it was the Eye of Hexagram which was an original idea of mine.
It was something that I made to subjugate the basilisk and to make a trap for the red raptor. It was rarely used after that. Since it needed a lot of preparation, it wasn't suitable for live combat.
Nevertheless, it was by no means a breakthrough since its effect was negligible. It was obvious since I didn't get the skill that allowed me to use it by the means of skill from god.
That's why I want everyone to draw the basic alchemy formation and try to activate it.
Fortunately, we had a lot of notebooks and writing material.
Even the notebook filled with writing could be restored like a newly bought one and then duplicated using duplication formation. In short, we wouldn't run out of notebooks.
Ha~, it feels like a really long time since the last time we sat writing on the desk like this.
I'm really bad at this kind of thing oka~y, so I might fall asleep immediately
Come to think of it, Randou-san's literal ability was the lowest in our class.
Still, I wanted her to do her best right now since our lives depended on this.
While my real body was starting the Simple Alchemy Formation's training, my offshoot on Souma dojo's side had only finished the practice swing and started the next training.
As expected, everyone can arrive at this result solely depending on the power of their vocation. Since that's the case, you don't mind if we jump straight into training for live combat, right?
Said Souma-kun with a satisfied look on his face upon seeing everyone's high potential.
When it comes to martial arts, the first thing a noob should do is build a suitable physique to withstand the match. It starts with various training such as running, muscle training, etc, etc.
However, the problem is that those training sessions are too boring. I mean, I definitely wouldn't want to run even if they paid me to do that. Marathon is pure torture.
Still, it's just as Souma-kun had said, we who were experiencing dungeon capture- or should I say the vanguard- already had a suitable build for combat without having to undergo basic training.
Though it was largely attributed to the power of their vocation, the receiver themselves developed it to suit their own individual style.
First, let's start with the basic skill.
Wait a frigging minute!
The one who interrupted wasn't me but Ueda.
Is Souma's swordcraft really that better than us?
What do you mean?
You're strong, no doubt about that. Still, that strength must be coming from your Hero vocation. We can also become as strong as you if we can use that sword of light of yours.
I see. Though it looked like a remark of a template, the small fry villain who was jealous of the power of vocation and irritated due to false charges, seemingly went to get his a*s kicked on the next page. Ueda's statement was quite rational.
In short, Souma-kun's strength might not purely come from Souma-style sword art, but from his Hero vocation. I mean, it's not like the Souma-style's secret sword in Japan was something that allowed you to create a literal beam saber.
Since you say that, I only need to prove that by winning against you with pure sword skill, Ueda.
Heh, my Swordsman vocation isn't just for show.
Hou, it seems he has something like pride as a swordsman. Ueda turns out you have such a romantic side.
Well, sure enough. If it's a match using a wooden sword, even if we can't defeat you, you won't be able to defeat us that easily either.
Said Nakai as he rode on the wave created by Ueda.
What are you going to do, Souma-kun? You should say something like "I'm gonna beat yer a*ses with Cross Calibur" to such cheeky small fries, right?
Like hell I'm going to do that. I'm not such a petty person.
Someone who will use his full power to kill a weak opponent when pissed off.
Guh Momokawa, you had to say that now?
Yup, I was the one who experienced it firsthand after all. The experience of you trying to kill this small and weak me with everything you got.
Please be quiet for a moment, Momokawa.
Said Souma-kun as he faced Ueda and Co while massaging the bridge of his nose, apparently trying his best to suppress his rage.
Ueda, I understand your feelings. Someone who takes up the sword will naturally have that kind of feeling.
Hee, trying to put some air, huh.
Since that's the case, let's have a match. A pure swordsmanship match without using the power of vocation. Whatever the result, if you feel that learning martial arts isn't worth your time, I won't force you to participate.
Ooh, good choice, Souma. Now show me the extent of your skill.
Ooh, what an interesting development. A bit like Shonen manga if I must say. With things turning like this, Ueda had no choice but to grit his teeth.
Souma-style and Swordsman vocation's skill. I wonder who'd win the match if the two different sides clashed.
Despite my curiosity, Souma-kun and Ueda had different base statuses from the very beginning. Even without reinforcement-type martial arts or reinforcement spells, Souma-kun who had undergone martial arts training had a higher physical strength. Since both sides already had different base stats, this match wouldn't be a match of pure skill.
If there is anyone else who has doubts about my skill, you're free to challenge me.
Declared Souma-kun. Perhaps he felt it was his duty to prove his skill to everyone as their master. Man, what a serious person.
On the other hand, Mei-chan who was watching the exchange from the corner didn't seem to be interested in this particular matter. Even so, she still looked in my direction.
It was just an eye contact, the translation was as follows.
What should I do, Kotaro-kun? Should I kick his a*s?
Maybe she got all fired up upon hearing the word "match" since it made her recall her duel with Asuna. What a belligerent girl.
No, just follow Souma-kun's teaching in this situation.
Mei-chan's style was the rampaging kind with the overwhelming physical strength she had gained from being a berserker. So, learning Souma-style might allow her to make an even sharper and more sophisticated move, enhancing her combat prowess even further.
You've said it. I'll go first then!
Sure. Come at me, I'm ready.
Thus began a swordsmanship match with the "Master" seat on the line.
