Chapter 240: Difference Between Training and Reality
The day after we had entrusted Nagini to the Shining Heads. The Shining Head leader Ash brought Nagini out to Hesty’s cottage. And…
「Hyahha! Boss this kid’s way too quick to learn. She’s almost learned all of our defensive techniques!」
He reported with a big smile.
「Seriously? That’s quick.」
「Umm well, since she already had enough magic power it wasn’t especially hard for her to learn.」
「Ussu! I’ve learned it properly ssu!」
Nagini said gallantly.
「Only a day, has passed and, yet you seem, different.」
Hesty nodded as she walked out of her cottage.
「Hyahha~ Big Sis Dragon King if you’re saying that then it looks like it was worth teaching her.」
It seems she had grown quite a bit in only a day.
After all she was able to approach this place without having a large issue with her health.
「Does this mean her defensive training is already over Ash?」
I asked but he shook his head.
「No, not yet. We still need her to experience real situations. That’s why I brought her here today.」
「Real situations…..defensive right? You’re confirming it here?」
「Hyahha~ that’s right. I was thinking to use those boars that you drive away usually Boss.」
Ash said as he glanced to the side to see one of my golems knocking over a huge boar, a fafnir.
It was a monster that was sometimes lured over by the magic power of my home. There were a couple of those.
「Use them how?」
「We’ll have her stop its charge. Barehanded.」
The moment he said that, Nagini’s hair stood on end.
「Eh? Uh…huh? That’s a fafnir ssu? Isn’t that a dangerous high grade monster ssu!? Aren’t we raising the difficulty too fast!? Even if it’s being tossed around like nothing it’s still dangerous!」
She swung her head back and forth as if to say “Impossible!!!”. However, Ash tilted his head.
「Well, look young lady Dragon King….Even if it’s high grade you wanted to enter Boss’s house right? Then you have to be able to do at least that much or it won’t work out. People like us can even do that much.」
「Ehh…really?」
「Of course. So moving on…Boss could you have the golem lure it over here?」
「n? Well if it’s only that much…then I guess. Golem come over here.」
After I ordered it, the Golem stopped facing against the boar and headed towards us. It ran over with deep thumping sounds.
Of course the boar followed after it.
Truly it was a headlong charge.
Ash stood before the fiercely charging boar.
「I’ll show you an example young lady. —《Perfect Defense》《Iron Receive》—! Hrrrmmm!」
He stretched out both arms and caught the boar’s head.
His legs were pushed backwards violently but his hands didn’t release the boar. Finally the boar’s momentum slowed until it was finally stopped.
The boar finally realized what happened and looked bewildered. It attempted to back off.
「See? As you can see even a human can take on something of this size. Well…it does hurt a bit though.」
Ash said as he released the boar’s head.
His hands let go and you could see some blood running from hands.
「Are you okay Ash?」
「Hyahha~ Thanks for your concern. Well…this much is fine. I’m just surprised your golems can do the same thing so easily Boss.」
Ash laughed a bit and took out a potion before pouring it on his hands. He then faced Nagini once more.
「Well, as you can see even a human without insane magic powers can do this much. You should be able to do it more easily young lady.」
After seeing this Nagini nodded hesitantly.
「I-I understand! F-for now I’ll give it a try ssu! Master please lure one over here!」
「Okay gotcha.」
I once again called a golem who was fighting a boar.
Then the boar followed along like before.
Nagini imitated Ash and stood in front of the charging boar.
「《Perfect Defense》….!!」
Magic power covered her body as she stretched out her arms to grasp the boar’s head. Then…
「As I thought it’s impossible….!!!」
She was sent flying.
「Gufu!」
She was sent flying high enough that she could reach the treetops.
It was that forceful.
「I guess it won’t go as well as with your golems huh Boss?」
「Well, this man’s golems, are stronger than a regular dragon, so I can believe he has some that might be, stronger than some Dragon Kings. I can guarantee it.」
「Thanks for the guarantee I guess……..but we should go retrieve Nagini.」
「Uuuu…….I have no….excuse………」
We let the golem deal with the boar that had sent Nagini flying and we got her out of the tree she was crying in.
