第１７０２堀：何とか走り切りました (Part2)
Quar, as the Captain of the Royal Guard of Weed, is incredibly busy, yet she always makes sure to show her face to the newcomers once or twice, instilling in them a fierce fighting spirit. This isn't just about recruiting them into the Royal Guard, but about encouraging them to climb their way up. Therefore, Quar will likely view Holy's and my participation as a positive stimulus for the new recruits. Afterward, the assigned instructors take over, but occasionally, Seraria, Deryu, and Jessica will visit when they have free time, offering additional training. Even with Jessica, their training is quite rigorous for the newcomers, often eliciting wry smiles from the instructors themselves.
"Well, if you're not getting in the way, you can run. And what about the combat training?"
"Yes. We've secured D4."
D4 is the designated area for combat training. It's essentially an indoor facility, its four walls encased in specially treated steel plates with anti-magic coating, allowing us to unleash offensive magic without restraint. Otherwise, outdoor combat training would be dangerous, requiring a safe zone spanning several, or even tens, of kilometers. As for firearms, stray bullets are truly terrifying. By the way, a separate shooting range exists. After all, here, bullets would ricochet... That's why the battle royale weapon system developed by Zargis is so convenient. If defensive magic runs out, it's a teleportation, so there are no accidental shots or anything of the sort.
"Alright, then, let's have Holy and Vilia discuss and decide whether to continue this basic running training. Next is the explanation of the combat training area we've borrowed."
It seems they're finishing the track running for today and moving on to explaining other facilities. Even with the mention of D4, Holy and Hairen wouldn't understand... wait?
"Um, Hairen?"
"Hm? What is it, Vilia?"
"Um, Hairen, will you also be joining us for combat training?"
Until now, I understood that you came along to observe Holy. But from now on, it will be intense, a coordination exercise between Holy and me... To be honest, Hairen, if you join in, you'll be a hindrance. However, I couldn't say such a thing, and as I was wondering what to do...
"Hairen. Are you here as a medical team member? If you join the training, you'll interfere with our coordination drills."
"Ah, that's true. But Holy and Vilia can both use healing magic, can't they?"
"Yes, we can. What about you, Vilia?"
"I can use the basics."
Rurua, Elju, and Lilishe have taught me healing magic, so I can manage to use it.
"Hmm, in that case, there's no reason for me to intrude. It seemed fine even before. Holy, what about you? Do you want me to stay with you?"
Ah, indeed, if Holy was worried, I think it would be good to stay together...
"No, I'm fine. Besides, Agil will be explaining the equipment, right? Hairen, are you alright with that sort of thing?"
"No way. I'm going back to the church to deal with those mischievous brats."
At the mention of explanations, Hairen immediately sprinted towards the exit. She truly is a straightforward person...
"Well, the troublesome one just left. It's fine."
Everyone nodded at my brother's words. Hmm. Hairen is a good person, though. I couldn't even offer a defense for her.
"I know she's not a bad person, but..."
Holy, seeing that reaction, said so with a wry smile. She and Hairen must have had various experiences, even if for a short time.
"Now, after we go to D4, let's have a light practical session with us, and decide on the equipment."
"Huh!?"
I couldn't help but exclaim at his unexpected words. Could it be that my brother would be our training partner? And it wasn't just me who was surprised; the others were also astonished.
"Hmm, Yuki. Go easy on them."
"I know, I know."
As Agil said, if he doesn't go easy on us, I don't feel like we can win at all. Walking and running are fundamental, after all. For soldiers and athletes alike. For those considering starting exercise, why not begin by walking around your neighborhood while listening to music?
