“Chapter 294: Change”

※※

– Hmm?

It was a normal morning. I was watching Akane while she did her usual sword training.

I was wondering if I would ever be able to do that myself.

After Akane left the Sage’s Palace, I started training with her by practicing my swinging. It’s not like I wanted to learn powerful techniques, I just wanted to train my muscles.

I was amazed by her prowess.

I asked her to take a quick look to see if anything had changed in me, but I was still the same.

– If you so much want to know, you should ask for a tree paper.

Following her advice, I asked Feria to re-examine my tree.

The result was a surprise.

– Your… talent for battle has bloomed. (Feria)

My tree had always been full of roots below the trunk, but empty above the middle part.

However, now it was full of branches and fresh leaves.

I had an idea as to why.

Shiori mentioned having stolen half of me in this world.

I’m not 100% sure yet, but we believe Shiori is gone for good.

It’s reasonable to assume that everything she stole has gone back to the owners.

My job is still the same. My processing skills have grown to Level VIII. I’m the creator of Searat, at the end of the day.

But this would mean that I’m able to play a bigger role in fights.

Thus, I started my routine to get better at handling knives and swords.

– Move it slowly… Don’t try to overdo it…

While rushing to the dark jerks, I recalled Akane’s words of advice.

Not to aim at the weak spots, but just to keep swinging while maintaining my stance.

That’s all she taught me. She had no intentions of explaining any further.

I kept observing the dark jerks carefully. One wrong move against beasts this unpredictable could mark my death.

The snakes jumped out of the torrent of water. They seemed confused by the sudden change from gills to lung breathing, but beasts from the border would know better than to attack before adapting completely.

They think I’m weak, but that’s what I’m hoping.

– G I–

Eventually, the dark jerks calmed down after taking a deep breath and started crawling towards me.

– …

【AAAaaAAAAaAAAaaaa】

The roar of the whale shook my surroundings once more.

I don’t know how Moruru and Ralph are doing, but in this situation where I barely have time to blink, I can’t afford to look out for them.

– G I !

One of the snakes took advantage of the tremor and attacked me.

– Not enough to make me lose my stance.

The poisonous fangs of the dark jerk aimed at my throat were intersected by the blade of Nebula.

– G G G G ! ?

The blue-colored slash sent the entire upper jaw of the snake flying into the air.
