Volume 9 Chapter 9 Training Session
In the end, thanks to Ayaka-san's kindness, Eris ended up being placed in the Seijo Branch of the Anti-Demon Special Forces. I insisted that it wouldn't be good for her to stay at home, as it was getting cramped, especially with her being a newcomer there.
Well, that's understandable.
Hinata had some prior acquaintance with Lisha and the others, but Eris was a complete stranger to everyone.
Although I introduced Eris to everyone, there was a certain awkwardness lingering in the air.
I was worried that Kanami might faint like she did when she first met her, me there was no sign of that; Eris calmly exchanged greetings.
Having always witnessed the carefree attitude of the former hero, maybe seeing reality was an eye-opener.
With all that said and done, while living at the Seijo Branch, Eris started helping Ayaka-san with her work and occasionally visited our place.
And when Eris came over, it wasn't just for exchanging information.
"Lisha-san, I'll use my magic, but is it alright if you could restrain it using Sanctuary?"
"Alright, I understand."
"Thank you. It's reassuring to have someone other than Sharla who can overlap with my domain."
"No, I'm the one honored."
Lisha said and, as usual, cast Sanctuary in the training ground.
After the incident known as the Tokyo Crisis, Lisha's Sanctuary became even more robust.
Among defensive magical arts, it is the pinnacle as far as I know.
"It's a splendid sight."
Eris murmured, casually spinning the rapier in her hand and activating magic.
"'White thorn, White Lily.'"
In an instant, a white garden appeared inside Sanctuary. Beautiful pure white flowers bloomed gloriously, radiating a faint light.
Eris's magic, 'White thorn, White Lily.'
It is a versatile spell that creates various plants with magic power, performing attacks, defense, recovery, enhancement, and more.
She may self-deprecate as being jack-of-all-trades, but she continues to activate all of them simultaneously, each with first-class performance.
The 'Everlasting Royal Garden' of Spiritual Penetration Art (Shinrei) is capable of performing these actions widely and semi-automatically.
The one that can seal Sakaki Tsuzuri's magic with a delayed response is the 'White Lily' flower.
Additionally, having been trained by Glaive since childhood, she boasts exceptional strength even in close combat.
In pure swordsmanship, only someone like Sharla can outdo Eris.
Eris looked at Kougaru standing next to her and said,
"Well, then, let's do this."
"Yeah, don't do anything unnecessary. I said I can handle it alone."
Kou nodded with a genuinely displeased expression.
"If you can judge that, I'll gladly withdraw. Besides, if you guys clash head-on, this place will be destroyed."
"Tch, it was comfortable here, you know."
"Hurry up and get up. I watched the previous fight a bit, but aren't you getting too dull?"
"Coming from the one who wore a dress and played princess."
"I've been wearing dresses for ages, and born a princess, you know?"
"You wanted to show Yuusuke too, huh? And Jack-sama—"
The moment Kou made a creepy noise, white thorns shot out from nowhere, aiming for his head.
"Oops."
Kou effortlessly dodged it, shrugging his shoulders.
"Oh, scary, scary."
"If you have time to chat nonsense, move."
"Huh, can you even keep up with my moves?"
Eris sighed and addressed the two with an astonished look at their exchange.
"Sorry, Tsukiko-san, Kanami-san. I hope my color-blind friend hasn't been causing trouble. Anyway, feel free to move, and I'll support as much as I can."
"Hey, I haven't done anything since I came here."
"Monkeys should stay quiet."
Tsukiko and Kanami remained completely silent, only able to nod.
It couldn't be helped. Maybe those two hadn't been able to keep up with the thorns Eris lightly released with their eyes.
When it comes to battle mode, things might change a bit, but well, that's how it goes. Eris is Eris when she uses that as a joke, and Kou who easily avoids it is also abnormal.
Even among the knights, they'd probably be blown away normally, huh?
And who the heck is this Jack anyway? First time I've heard that name, and it's a guy, right?
But my questions aren't the kind to be asked right now, as everyone gradually shifts into battle stance.
Lisha, Eris, Kou, Tsukiko, Kanami. They take up their weapons, their fighting spirit honed like the edge of a sword, piercing through their opponent—me.
All-in-one combat training.
It's kinda touching, but what is this?
Two of the Four Heroes, Saint, Guardian, and the Earth's Strongest. Even if it's a reunion, I feel like there could've been a better way to do this.
I grip my sword, sharpening my focus as I slowly prepare myself.
This is Eris's test. In these years apart, have I rusted away? How strong am I without 'The Chosen Hero (Brave Face)'?
She began by thoroughly understanding the strength of her allies when planning a strategy.
Certainly, there is no way to disappoint.
