The discussion with Mr. Viktor almost ended up the way we wanted it to go, thanks to my efforts and Sarah's success. I feel like Sara did most of the talking in the end, but it makes me sad to think about it, so I'll just say that Sara and I did a good job.

"Let's see, Gina ......, why is this happening?"

After the discussion was over, I decided to invite Gina and the others to go sightseeing at the training site and found an unexpected scene.

Unable to comprehend the situation, I call out to Gina, who is sitting on a chair drinking tea for some reason. Why are we being served tea and sweets in the training hall?

"Ah, Master. Are we done talking?"

"Yeah. Yeah. I'm done. So, what's the situation?

"I don't know what's going on here, but at first there was a group of people who wanted to see how Miss Sarah's friends trained. Then Marco showed an interest in swords and somehow it all came together. Oh, but before that she was quite complimentary of Marco and Kikka's physical strength."

Hmmm...did you find talent in Marco and Kikka like Mr. Lee did? Four men, including Mr. Achim, surrounded Marco and Kikka, happily teaching them how to use swords. It is a little strange that even Kikka is swinging the wooden sword so hard, not to mention Marco who was interested in swords.

"What are those kids lying around the edge?"

Some of them were helping in the cafeteria last night, so they must be the ones who live here. Why are they lying there?

"When Marco and Kikka started learning to play with swords, they wanted to join us too. Achim and the others refused because they said they weren't ready yet, but they started training with Marco and Kikka, who are smaller than they are, and they said why not? So they started training together. Then they decided they couldn't let Kikka beat them, so they started competing with each other, and that's how it ended up.

I see, he originally wanted to learn to fight but was stopped because he was not ready yet, and he was not satisfied with the fact that Marco and Kikka, who were younger than him, were training, so he joined their training. He was not convinced that Marco and Kikka, who were younger than him, were training with him, so he joined their training.

Kikka has become a sinful girl. I'm worried about her future if she's playing with men at such a young age. And I feel sorry for her if she gets traumatized. Shouldn't we let the kids recover?

"Mr. Becker. Shall I help them recover?"

If it's just fatigue, Moon can take care of it. Well, it's a little embarrassing to imitate the chanting. .......

"Yuta-dono can even heal? That's wonderful. But it's their fault for pushing themselves when they were stopped, so it's not necessary this time. This is also a good experience."

Mr. Becker says spartan things while smiling. He's a former knight, so he's a bit of an athletic type, but I'm not so good at it. Ahim-san has noticed us and is coming this way.

"Yuta-san! Those kids are great! They're as strong as knights even though they're so young. How do you usually train them?

Mr. Achim suddenly praised me. It feels pretty good to be praised by an apprentice. Well, I don't know how much physical strength is equivalent to that of a knight, so it could be a compliment, but I'll take it in stride, right?

"No, well, it's because everyone worked so hard. We don't have any special training."

I will take it in stride, but I am an adult, so I will be humble about it. I'd like to look a little smug, but it's embarrassing to be a jerk in my apprentice's parents' house.

"Really? I would have liked to refer you to ...... if it was a good training."

Mr. Achim looks at me like he wants me to teach him. Why does he go back to his flirtatious mood at times like this? You'll be even less inclined to tell me.

"Achim. Yuta's training is a secret. Don't ask him casually."

Mr. Becker nailed a slightly annoyed Mr. Achim, who was glancing at me. Sara's exaggeration has been working in an unexpected way.

Well, the secret is just to beat up demons with multiple contracted spirits to level up, so I can't put it into practice even if I teach it to you.

"So, Miss Sarah is as strong as a knight?"

Mr. Achim questions Sara with an expectant look.

"Hmmm. Yes, that's right. I am as strong as Marco and Kikka."

It's cute that Sarah responds to Mr. Achim with a bit of a smug look on her face. She usually doesn't show this side of her as Marco and Kikka's sister, but maybe she feels more comfortable after meeting Mr. Viktor. It's a good thing, right?

"I see, I've heard about you, but you've made an effort. Miss Sarah, would you like to show your daughter's ability to the ...... old man? Of course, you can keep the secret part hidden. But I want you to reassure my grandfather.

Mr. Becker, who had been looking after Sarah with a kind smile, suddenly became serious and started to make a request to Sarah.

I thought I had convinced him after our earlier discussion, but it seems that words alone could not dispel Mr. Becker's fears. Sara looked at me with a puzzled expression.

Well, I've seen Marco and Kikka, so I'm sure they'll agree with me on the physical aspect. Then I guess she wants to know how good I am as a spiritualist.

There's no problem to show them the art of the genjutsu itself as long as you hide the part that you keep secret. Then, we can use the spiritual art by having them chant at a distance from us.

And if we show Gina, Marco, and Kikka's spiritual arts together, they will feel much safer. In the meantime, we need to have a little meeting. Let's give Mr. Becker some time.

He interrupts Marco and Kikka's sword practice to talk with his students in a corner of the training hall. Let's keep our secret and be loud so that Mr. Becker will feel safe enough to send Sara on her adventure. I want to make my apprentice proud.

"Master. What are you doing?"

Marco looked sad when his sword training was interrupted, but he seemed a little excited to hear from me, as if he could smell the fun in my secret talk.

"Mr. Becker is worried about Sara, so I thought I'd show you guys what we can do."

"Hear? Is it okay if I keep it hidden when we go on adventures?"

Yeah. Marco has a mischievous personality, but I think it's great that he knows what to do with himself because he struggled in the slums.

It's unfortunate that he has to go through so much hardship as a child, but if he has grown through it, then it wasn't all in vain.

"Of course I will hide what I need to hide. That's why I'm going to explain a little bit, so please listen carefully."

All the disciples nodded seriously, including Marco....... Fuchu and the others, but not Bell and the others, you know? Why are you so motivated? Don't look at me with expectant eyes.

...... I can't fail them. I'll join in on the demonstration. That's it. I have to show them what I can do.

Mr. Becker. May I make some modifications to the training area so that we can restore it later?"

After discussing what to do with Gina and the others, we ask Mr. Becker for permission to do some preliminary work. Since Sara and the others are quite motivated, we have to make sure that we don't cause any damage to the surroundings.

"Modifications? I don't mind, but what are you going to do about it?"

"Well, you'll just have to wait and see."

With their permission, I keep my distance from Mr. Becker and the others, pretend to chant moo moo moo, and finally overreact with an atmosphere of yelling special moves.

"I'll do my best."

Taking my overreaction as a cue, Tulu exercises his spirit magic with great enthusiasm. The soil of the training ground rises, and several pillars of earth are completed.

Chanting is not involved, we just decided what we are going to do in the discussion we just had, but Becker and the others don't know, so I hear their voices of admiration toward me.

Tulu also looks a little happy and shy because of the praise. Tulu's reaction is quite adorable.

"Well then, I guess we'd better get started..."

Please wait a moment while I call for the Commander.

At Mr. Becker's direction, Mr. Achim ran. Well, if we are going to see Sara's growth, it would be better if Mr. Viktor was there too.

We agreed and waited for a while, then about 10 men appeared with Mr. Viktor. They were all very muscular men, so I guessed they were members of the .

"Yuta-dono, please!

When it looked like we were ready, Mr. Becker motioned for me to begin. Let's get started. When I signaled Gina to start, Gina and the others bowed their heads to the visitors and took their positions away from them.

Hmmm. I can't help it that I can't see them, but Fukuchan and the others who bowed with Gina and the others were very cute. If they could see them, that alone would be enough to quench the enemy's will to fight.

With Sara, the star of the event, in the center, Marco and Kikka on the left and right, and Gina standing behind them, they start pretending to chant.

First, Marco finishes chanting while reacting, and then a wall of earth surrounds Sara and the others. It would be a bit of a letdown if they were all hidden, so they leave a gap so that we can see them, but it is important to show that they are well defended, isn't it? Uri seems to be satisfied with his performance.

Sara and Kikka, following Marco, finish chanting, swinging their arms down in synchronization with each other, and then Fukuchan and Mame-chan, with cute enthusiasm, create many wind blades and fire them like machine guns at the earthen pillars built by Tulu.

That looks a lot like Bell's wind-blade dance. When Sara said that she wanted to show this technique in cooperation with Kikka, this is what she wanted to show. I advised her to develop a cooperative technique, but it's already in such a good shape. Even the master is surprised.

Gina pushes the pillar of earth which is overkilled by the blade of wind further. Shiva, who is in high spirits, barks prettily in a heroic mood, and multiple fire bullets appear, hitting the battered pillars of earth with thud-thud-thud, setting the wreckage of the pillars ablaze.

This time, since the main focus was on the attack, Pul-chan was absent. is over.

Huh? There is no reaction from the audience in the auditorium. I want them to praise the children for their efforts. ...... I see, they are speechless at the unexpected awesomeness of Sarah and the others. I can't help it if that's the case. I'll take that as a silent compliment.

It's over.

My words of closure are followed by shouts of praise from the audience as they come back to reality. Mr. Viktor and Mr. Becker ran to Sara and started praising her a lot. Gina and the others were not too happy about it. They must be happy to be praised, since they had been keeping a low profile so far.

What's that? If we've shown that we're so good at this, then we don't have to be adventurers in this country for a month, do we? ...... No, Sara needs time to think, and the next month won't be a waste.

The more important question is how to calm down the excited Belle and her friends. They are so excited to see you and Fuchu that their eyes are shining. Flair, please calm down. Keep it within the bounds of what we discussed.
