Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

Chapter 210.1 - Training 1

Yes, I want to use this chance to let everyone train properly.

It was a brand new day. After breakfast, everybody was left speechless for a while when I announced that.

Then, Souma-kun, I'll leave the rest to you~

Wait, explanation please.

Well, I thought you understood since none of you asked.

Like hell we can understand what you mean with such short notice. In the first place, deciding that at your own convenience is

Of late, Souma-kun's remark sounded like a mother-in-law who tries to blame the son-in-law for literally everything. Well, if all it took was to hear his scoldings in exchange for him not showing his hatred for me, it was a cheap price to pay.

E~h, in short, I want Souma-kun to teach everyone, especially the vanguard, Souma-style skill.

Ha~h? Why should I learn tha~t?

Why must I be taught by Souma~

The ones cribbing were Warrior Nakai and Swordsman Ueda, the owner of the vanguard-type vocation. The rear guard-type, Aquamancer Shimokawa, was looking at the spectacle, nonchalantly as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Though no one said it, everyone had pretty much the same puzzled look on their face.

Well, no one would take the initiative to ask for a martial arts lesson unless they're interested in learning one. As for me, please spare me from such torture, I'm not built for such activity. To humankind, happiness is all about how much one can escape pain.

Then,  let me ask a question, have you two felt that you have become stronger these days?

Tha-That Well

Like hell we've become stronger when we haven't learnt new skills.

A prime example of an excuse, but it was correct if it was seen from the nature of his vocation.

Even in classic RPG games, your character's stats wouldn't rise unless you leveled up. Suppose that you need 100 exp to level up to the next level, your stats would stay the same whether you have 1 exp or 99 exp. Raising one level is equal to raising one's stats, so unless there is no clear indication of becoming stronger, they learn new skills during the leveling process.

Regarding vocation, excluding the proficiency of the learned skill, you can't expect a drastic increase in strength unless you learn a new skill. And your combat potential would be maxed unless you learn a new skill That is how it seems to be if we only see the vocation side.

You gained more combat experience during the exploration, but since you haven't learned a new skill, I feel that there's nothing wrong with using other means.

I see, and that method is training oneself.

And speaking of training, the first thing that came into my mind was martial arts, and when it came to martial arts, it was Souma-kun.

In the first place, humans learn combat ability not just from one or two training sessions. Train your body, train your skill, train your mind. That's how humans become stronger.

The strange thing here was the vocation system which allowed you to gain power like pulling a lottery. Such a thing should be impossible in accordance with the laws of physics back on Earth, but nothing is impossible in this other world that is dominated by the logic of magic.

Realistically speaking, if people with the same vocations fight, one is a martial artist expert while the other is a noob, the former will surely win the fight.

It was already proven before by Heavy Warrior Yamada who despite having the same vocation as Sugino, being a martial artist, could easily disarm the former.

Some might say it was a surprise attack, but even if they fought fair and square, the chance of Yamada winning was infinitely close to zero.

That's why since we have a convenient teacher called Souma-kun, let's have him teach everyone.

E~h, seriously

Something like special traini~ng.

At the same time, it'll also serve as a way to train your guts.

Though I'm troubled since you said it out of nowhere It's undoubtedly a good idea. I'll do my best to train everyone.

Souma-kun also agreed with my plan. Maybe he would have made this suggestion in the near future even if I hadn't spoken about this.

Well, I knew that martial arts wasn't something that you could learn in one day but still, that's where the vocation came into play. I mean, despite being self-taught, Mei-chan's vocation allowed her to grow to the point that she could beat the crap out of Asuna.

Even if they didn't learn a new skill, the training might become a cue in gaining the new skill.

Seeing that the requirement to get new skills for each vocation was really random, we might as well try everything at our disposal.

Well, as for the ones with sorcery-type vocation, you guys will have alchemy training with me.

Haah, I've never heard about such a thing!

Coz this is the first time I have ever said it.

Shimokawa, who had relaxed his attitude since he didn't have to participate in Souma's special training, was the one who shouted first upon hearing my remark. "Dude, do you really think that I'm gonna let you off?".

I was going to be troubled if the owner of a sorcerer-type vocation became a NEET, so I'd take them to have fun death march alchemy with me.

The truth is, Takanashi-san, the equipment in charge's working pace is really slow, and our progress in this part is really delayed.

Mu~h, that's a slander, Kotori does her best!

That sounds like a groundless excuse though.

Okay Momokawa-kun, that's enough.

Good grief, I would have made her spit the truth if not for Class Rep's sudden interruption.

Kotori's working speed aside, we are undoubtedly lacking people who can use alchemy. Preparing weapons for all of us by herself will undoubtedly take a lot of time.

I want the efficiency in alchemy to be raised a bit, and even if it doesnt happen, being able to use alchemy alone is already quite useful.

That's why thank you very much, Hinagiku-san. The Shaman's Skull was definitely the best one of the fool's cane. The second best was owned by the Summoner's Skull.

Dude, I don't have alchemy magic.

That's why we have to have everyone try to see who can learn it.

Since it was a sorcery-type vocation, there was prejudice that all they could learn was magic-type skill but It wasn't like the possibility was zero for them to learn the other kind of skill.

Moreover, though it was a little bit different, I used other non-shaman-like skills too. In short, it was fundamentally possible to use abilities outside one's vocation in this world.

I mean this kind of stuff wasn't a rarity in RPG games either, warrior types often learn buff magic, right?

That's why I want to use this chance to find out if there's someone among our sorcery-type members who can learn alchemy or healing magic.

I think that's impossible thou~gh.

I-I don't think I have the confidence either~

Both Himeno and Shimokawa were equally unwilling to do this. Well, I already knew that things wouldn't go as I wanted from the very beginning, but don't think you're going to be spared just because you can't learn anything.

I don't think it'll be smooth sailing either,  but we can at least gain some sort of result from that. And since we're still a far cry from being able to safely subjugate Yamata no Orochi, I want our group to have as much skill as possible before that.

Yeah, I agree with Momokawa-kun, the only thing we can do right now is try as many things as possible. There's no need to be in a hurry since we have all the time in the world.

Thus, after everyone consented, we started our special training and experiment immediately.

===

For the time being, let's start with 500 times.

E~h, that much? Are you telling us to persevere with our willpower?

I think the first thing to do is beat that rotten nature of yours.

No way, I still can't beat Tendou-kun in that regard.

And so, I looked at everyone who had started their practice swing, albeit reluctantly, while engaging in a light banter with Master Souma.

Souma dojo's student were Berserker Mei-chan, Thief Natsukawa, SwordsmanUeda, WarriorNakaim Heavy WarriorYamada, Magic SwordsmanNakajima, KnightNonomiya, and WarriorYoshizaki

For some reason, I got included as the 9th one.

Basic is important. Especially in martial arts.

I know. I'll also confirm the routine ability by swinging the sword periodically.

Thus, I started swinging my wooden sword as well.

My poorly built, thin arms already felt that the light wooden sword weighed a ton after swinging it a few dozen times but As expected, my Twin Shadow had unlimited stamina.

The reason I participated in this training was by no means to learn Souma-style sword art. It was to see if I could master the control of Twin Shadow by doing this.

Since my offshoot couldn't feel tired or pain, I tried to raise my agility in controlling it with this kind of training.

Yup, a simple action can be executed more easily, after all, I don't think there'll be a problem even if the consciousness switched.

Momokawa-kun, are you sure that you're really all right?

Yeah, the training over there has only just begun. Everyone is practice-swinging right now.

Well, I know that you're training to control your offshoot, but I still can't help but worry looking at you staring in a daze like that.

Perhaps because I looked like a dazed idiot when I controlled my offshoot. Well, I guess I need to close my eyes when I control my offshoot next time.
