[Eng] Mushoku no Eiyuu Chapter 04 – Although it couldn't be said just because of the ability were equal

Chapter 04 – Although it couldn't be said just because of the ability were equal

Red hair said.

"I have aquired the <Sword Technique - Intermediate> skill. Even though we are both [Swordsman], but I am different from those two”

Fumu. Being a [Swordsman] for one year and already obtained the <Sword Technique - Intermediate> skill ...

"... that, is that great?"
"Na? You, are you stupid? To get that skill it will usually take at least two or three years!"
"Oh so, I don't know"

Red hair sent a sharp look at me.

"This [Classless] ..."

Besides that, I think it was natural that I wasn't familiar with [Swordsman] because after all I was just [Classless].

Well besides that, why does this guy show the hostility so far?
It should be the first meeting.
No, this town is a small town, I might have met that guy somewhere.

Or was it because [Classless] holds the sword, don't you care too much?

"Oh right, that guy is the guard group leader's ..."
"Oh really?"

Curly and Smally were exchanging words secretly.

Speaking of the guard group leader, he was an old man with red hair.
Does it have anything to do with this guy in front of me?
If you say, the color of the hair was like.....

I wondered the answer of my question, then the red hair revealed his identity.

"Leader of the guard group, Evan, he's my father"

I see, that means they were parent and children.
Aside from the color of hair, the others were not so similar.

"Your mother has taken care of my father."
"Is that so"

If so, why are you so angry?
I really couldn't understand the point.

"... But I will tell you this clearly"
"?"
"The best swordsman in this town is my father, not your mother!"

Red hair gritted his teeth.

"Moreover, why does everyone not understand! My father is the strongest! That woman, can't even reach Pa―my father's feet!"





Fumu.
I really-really understood.

"In other words, you are Father-con right"
"W, wrong!? I'm not like that! I really respect Pa―my father as a Swordsman!"

Although that guy denied it, there was no doubt.
It was not like I would be bothered if my mother was said to be the best in the town instead of the father that guy believed in.
And moreover, he even turned against me who was only her son.

"It's perfect, because with this I can fight against you, more precisely I'm grateful"

The red hair cames with a proposal.

"Well, the match lasts until the <Divine Protection> half remained. How about that? I usually play game with such conditions, so you can fight as much as possible"
"That's fine"

I tried it before, the last match ended in one strike, I was a little dissatisfied.

"However, it seems that with [Classless] like you it will end soon!"

We hold each a sword.

"Lets go!"
"Umu"

*Kin kin kin kin kin kin kin kin*

Mu~, as expected from the <Sword Technique - Intermediate> skill.
Curly and Smally were not comparable in sword speed and weight.

*Kin kin kin kin kin kin kin kin*

The red hair jumped back and tooks a break.

"W, what does this mean!?"
".......?"
"With me who has the <Sword Technique - Intermediate> skill. [Classless] like you balance me in close combat!"

I wondered why.

"Maybe you could say our abilities are equal"
"That's ridiculous! You, are you really [Classless]!?"
"Yeah~"
"Is there something like that!"

Even if said so, it cannot be helped because that was true.

"Kuh ... don't mess ..."
"No, I'm not messing of it"
"Shut up. I will never lost to you!"

The red hair came close angrily.
For some reason, that guy was a person with a very low boiling point.

"Take this! <Double-Edged Cut>!"
"What?"

As expected, I was surprised.
The reason was because the red hair's sword attacked me from the left and right at the same time.
Is this ... an illusion?

*Kin*

I could only prevent one side of the attack.

Moreover, it was not a good idea if one of the two was an illusion.
The attack that hit my sword did have a certain weight, but a strong attack also hit my left side.
<Divine Protection> decreased.

"That's my attack skill! <Double-Edged Cut>"

The red hair revealed the true identity of that attack proudly.

I see, is that an attack skill?

Skills are said to be broadly divided into two types.

First was the skills that always actived.
For example, <Sword Technique - Beginner> and the equivalent, would always maintained the best condition of swordsmen whenever and wherever.

And the other was skills that active when needed.
This was a skill that is activated by someone consciously, and attack skills are included in this type.
If it continued to be active at all times, it would disturb the everyday life.

"As you can see, <Double-Edged Cut> is an attack that sends two slashes in one attack. Of course, [Classless] like you impossible to imitate this technique."

Red hair smiled confidently of victory and approached.

"Can you really avoid this?"

There seemed to be absolute confidence in that skill, and so Red hair fired a <Double-Edged Cut> repeatedly.

"<Double-Edged Cut>!"

*Kin*

"<Double-Edged Cut>!"

*Kin*

"<Double-Edged Cut>!"

*Kin*

"Ha ha! Soon your <Divine Protection> will be left in half!”

Fumu.
It seems impossible to avoided it with the me now.

But this technique ... I want to be able to use it by all means.
