“Haaah……!” (Litty)


 

“Huh?” (Others)

 

“Daaaaahhhh!” (Litty)

 

Litty stomped forward with a cry which had come from the depths of her lungs. 

 

The volume of her voice was high, but the instructors were caught more off guard by the unexplainable degree of enthusiasm contained in it.

 

‘However, no matter how talented she may be, she was just an apprentice.’

 

Thinking so, the instructors immediately arranged their thoughts and launched a systematic attack against Litty.

 

“Show us more than just your fighting spirit!” (Branch manager)

 

The branch manager’s mock spear unleashed a relentless thrust, almost knocking out Litty’s shield.

 

The two instructors attacked Litty from both sides, leaving her with no escape route.

 

No, it wasn’t a situation where she could not escape.
But behind her, there was supposed to be an important rear guard which needed to be protected.
If she tried to escape, the instructors would be able to push Litty behind that line.
It was a grave situation.

 

Litty imagined an illusion of a party which she needed to protect, and raised her shield against the branch manager’s spear attacks to protect them with everything she got.

 

Just before it was going to hit, she slanted her shield and deflected the thrust, successfully knocking it off.

 

Not missing the beat, Litty immediately used the branch manager’s outstretched mock spear as a foothold and activated her Heavy Warrior skill, Spear Guard, against the two instructors on both sides.

 

“Kuh!”

 

“Tsk!”

 

Using the spear’s reach, she waved it in all directions.
Spear Guard was a basic skill, made to repel the simple attacks from enemies.

 

While the two instructors were trying to dodge Litty’s blow and counterattack at the same time, branch manager, seeing that he had a lot of room to maneuver, pulled back his mock spear which Litty was still using as a foothold and immediately followed up with another attack.

 

However, Litty, whose body was still spinning in midair, managed to repel the branch manager’s mock spear along with the two instructors who attempted to strike again.

 

“What the heck… even the branch manager failed to land a hit on that little girl.” One of the apprentices exclaimed.

 

“So Spear Guard is that useful?”, while the one standing next to him asked.

 

The apprentices were understandably caught surprised.

 

In addition to wielding a spear, Litty’s body was like a spring.
Her flexible movements were like a dance of spears.

 

The branch manager could no longer contain his own excitement.

 

He wanted to fight, he wanted to get serious and exchange blows with Litty.
It was no wonder instructor Gonza had shown so much enthusiasm and released his skill.

 

The trajectory of the mock spear, which had been pushed away with too much force, was finally being held with refined precision.
After successfully deflecting the attacks, Litty’s spear dance was also slowing down.

 

Treading just on the edge of the line, she took the branch manager’s spear head-on as he was about to get serious.

 

“Eeeiiiyaaaaahh!” (Litty)

 

Did she just manage to uphold her stance? That’s what the branch manager thought, feeling amazed.

 

Just after the instructor serving as referee announced the end of the one minute, Litty’s feet were finally lifted off the line.

 

The sweaty branch manager lowered his spear, feeling incredible and the two instructors had also put their swords away.

 

It was a close call, he was about to get serious.
No, he did get serious, but it was only for the last few seconds.

 

The branch manager covered his face with one hand, feeling ashamed of himself.

 

“…I wonder if the guy in charge of the Swordsman Guild’s final exam was okay.
I mean, he did have to face something like this.” (Branch manager)

 

“Um, are we done?” (Litty)

 

“Yeah, you did great.
Really…” (Branch manager)

 

“Branch Manager, I understand your frustration.
But for now, let’s announce the results of the exam.” (Instructor)

 

Despite saying so, the instructor who had just dealt with Litty knew exactly what he himself was referring to.

 

The branch manager also patted Litty’s head as if to voice an unspoken appreciation.

 

Litty, who had not experienced such a thing since she was a child, almost made a funny noise.

 

“Huh…um?” (Litty)

 

“Yes, you passed.
This doesn’t even need to be discussed.
You did an impressive job.” (Branch manager)

 

“Yay! I’m a Heavy Warrior!” (Litty)

 

“Ah, you’ve now earned your second title after Swordsman.”

 

“Yes… I got two titles now!” (Litty)
