331 performance test (1/2)

Helen was doing her preparatory exercises, rolling her shoulders and twisting her waist with the handle of her spear.

In the meantime, I set up a log from the yard, a log that used to be a carrier for hunting game. It's a simple target.

Before I knew it, everyone had come outside, and Krull and Lucy had noticed and gathered around.

”Good.

I'm not sure if I'm used to being the center of attention or not, but Helen seems to be ready and sets up her spear. For the time being, she pointed the tip of her spear at the target. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

”Huh!

Helen struck the target with her spear, as fast as ever. The movement was over faster than the blink of an eye. The fact that there was almost no sound when she hit the target may have made her movements appear faster.

The tip of the spear is deeply embedded in the target.

What do you think?

Hmm, the thing is good, but it's still weird!

Helen said with a laugh.

Helen laughed and said, ”I can barely feel it. It feels like the tip of a normal spear is just a little bit stuck, but as you can see, it's really deep.

I see.

I guess it won't be a problem once you get used to it.

You mean that until you get used to it, you might not be able to handle it well because you are confused by the difference in response. There's room for improvement in that area.

The ideal form would be to make the weapon fit the user's senses, but with greatly improved performance.

So, the next step is to slash away.

Oh.
