Chapter 19: A New Way to Have Fun

The calainst the ear, The trees rustling in the wind

As sunlight shone past the leaves and blotched the grassy field, a soft wind blew and brushed against the man’s hair

He was holding on to the hilt of the katana that hung from his waist

Focusing his weight on the balls of his feet, his heel spread out horizontally

Lowering his body, he stirred into action

The man turned the mouth of his saya, and in the ht caure had vanished

Flowers began to dance, a nurassy land

To the Right, To the Left

Every time the man disappeared, the flowers drifted and fluttered into the air As if being freed froravity, they continued to drift about in the sky

「…… Fumu」

After that light had run about several tian── As if he had firar returned the katana to it’s saya

「If I include an attack skill then I can activate it 4 time…… If I don’t include it then 5 times is the limit huh The next time I level up should I put stats into DEX[1], or should I put theh choice」

What Edgar wanted to confir his PvP with the Sao He wanted to better understand the Sta the Moon Step several times in succession

If I were to raise my DEX, then not only will the accuracy of my attacks increase, but my movements will become quicker and sharper

In tere of Moon Step, DEX is an extremely important stat

However, if I don’t have any Stamina, I won’t be able to use Moon Step in rapid succession Just like with the Lizarde number of Mobs then I also have to consider the fact that ht be depleted in just a few moments

「……Since I can suppleuess I should focus on Stamina for now」

Muttering this to hi that had fallen by his feet, and he threw it into the air

Drawing an arc in the sky, the small branch spun as it descended back to the earth

Edgar immediately extended his hand and reached for the hilt of his katana With his index finger and thuuard, It cut loose from the saya

In an instant

Light ran forth

The disappearing blade sliced forth as if it was a ain returned to the saya

The fastest strike, The 【Iai】Tree’s 【Razor Blaze】, the branch was assaulted by it again and again

A single branch became 2 branches, and then 3, and 4

「Fumu」

Finally it fell down to the ground, in Edgar’s hands were 9 fragments of a former branch

A feat which required an astounding level of precision and ti

Although soin of error due to his low DEX status, Edgar had displayed an overwhel level of technique

However, the expression Edgar as not one of satisfaction

So this is Edgar’s limit huh, if it was Aran then he could have cut it into 16 pieces at most[2]

As I thought, there is a major need to supplement my DEX

Around this level wasn’t there a belt or so that could increase my DEX……

「A-A……」

「Hm?」

The pleasant sound of a voice brushed against his ear

Watching the spectacle froure of a person

A Cleric clad in a white robe; Her name is Suzu

As if watching a brilliant dance, Suzu let out those words as she watched Edgar transforments within the blink of an eye

「…… Oh, Suzu-san」

「P-Please excuse me, I didn’t mean to spy on you」

「No, it’s fine…… I don’t really mind」

Being a bit ear scratched the tip of his nose as he made a somewhat aard and forced smile

This beautiful grassy plain was not within a ‘Field’ in Dragon’s Krone

It was an area you could access through your Ho Grounds」

This Training Ground was an Area that reseh no Players can enter it unless you give theic which normally can not be activated in a Home House

「Edgar-kun, That thing from before…… Was that the Moon Step?」

「Yeah Earlier when I fought against the Sa out of Stas」

There were a variety of functions in this Training Area

For the purposes of practicing combination moves you could set your Stamina to infinite, and you can create a 「Doll」or so-called copy of yourself to practice fighting against If you allocate Skills for the doll to use, then you could even practice some PvP with this function

Many players spend several long hours here in this Area,Ground’s functions When he is playing as Edgar and Aran, Ran would spend expended periods of tier than he spent going out hunting

「Wow, so the Moon Step also its weak points」

「There is no technique in this world that doesn’t have its weaknesses If there was one then the admins would patch it after all」

「I see I suppose that makes sense」

Although Moon Step is a technique that utilizes several Skills, unlike the Combination attacks that use skills from the same skill tree, the mechanic of「Stamina Reduction for successive activations」 did not apply The Moon Step burns off Stamina like no tomorrow

That was one of the feeaknesses of the perfect offensive and defensive technique: Moon Step

「……Are you not interested about the Moon Step, Suzu-san?」

「Eh?」

「Ilike that」

That was soar

Andou and Yah those kind of questions haven’t been asked recently, and there hasn’t been ht now, but when they first started playing together those type of questions were endlessly thrown Edgar’s way

However, whenever Suzu ith Edgar she had never once asked about that subject

「Hu and the others, but I’s…… Also I’ht?」

「Fumu」

「Oh, but there are a few things I’m curious about, you know? Like, since you are one of Aran’s acquaintances, umm-…… What kind of person is Aran-san? stuff like that」

「Eh? That’s what you want to ask?」

An unexpected question that came from Suzu’s mouth

Is Suzu-san a bit interested in Aran as well? She never behaved like she was interested in the past, so I thought she was indifferent about him

「But, it’s fine I’ar-kun after all」

「……Eh?」

Continuing on, the words that caar to instinctively do a double take as he looked at Suzu

Fun? Playing with ME is?

It can’t be

「Uhmm, by that, what do you mean?」

「……? Ah」

After thinking a while, Suzu finally realized thebehind the words she had just said

As if it had been set ablaze, a bright red color quickly rose up and flushed her entire face

「I, I didn’twith Ran-kun or Megu or Andou-kun, I ether, okay!?」

「…… What about Yamabuki?」
