Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

Chapter 211.1 - Training 2

Well then, the swordsmanship match between the Hero Souma Yuuto and the Swordsman Ueda had begun.

Both sides were facing each other, setting their sword in front of them It was the moment of truth.

Uwa~, Souma-kun is stro~ong.

And ended in a matter of seconds.

The match went as follows Ueda rushed first. As one would expect from the owner of Swordsman vocation, his downward swing was sharp.

Souma-kun, who saw through his opponent's aim, retreated half-step, or not, he just leaned back a bit and dodged Ueda's slash by a paper-thin margin.

However, Ueda's experience couldn't be underestimated either. He quickly switched his move from slash to thrust. His thrust aiming for Souma-kun's abdomen hit the air That moment, Souma-kun unleashed his counter.

Souma-kun's wooden sword stopped right before hitting Ueda's forehead.

Ueda on the other hand was still maintaining his thrusting posture.

It was obvious to everyone who the victor of this match was.

Da-Dammit

Are you convinced now?

Well, fine. I admit that you're so damn strong, Souma.

This is the power of Souma-style. Ueda, you're quite skilled yourself. I'm sure that you'll become even stronger with proper training.

Hee, I'll be waiting for that.

Said Ueda meekly, this match seemed to have convinced him of Souma-kun's strength.

I'm surprised to see him easily admit defeat.

Not everyone likes to use sophistry like you.

Shut up Momokawa. This is something that only a swordsman understands.

Whoops, my verbal slip ended up like pouring cold water onto the warm atmosphere created after the refreshing match. I swear that it wasn't intentional. I just wanted to say that if Ueda couldn't accept his defeat, I would have, along with Class Rep, interceded.

My bad, that was a good match.

You're being shameless now, Momokawa.

I'm not. I'm just in awe seeing how Ueda changed his attack midway from downward slash to thrust. Could it be that youd expected Souma-kun to dodge your slash and prepared the thrust from the very beginning?

Ye-Yeah, something like that.

Unexpectedly, Momokawa has sharp observation huh.

Hehehe, praise me.

I really love this part of Souma-kun. If he were to praise someone, he would really mean it. It was something that I wanted his little sister to learn.

Well then, anyone else who wants a match with me?

I think everyone should take a go.

Agreed. I've been itching to try the technique of Souma-style since a while ago.

Okay! I'm next.

Mei-chan, no.

Yeah, let's stop it, Futaba-san.

E~h, why thou~gh?

Coz I have a really bad feeling about this.

The one thing that everyone had to understand now was how powerful Souma-style was in the absence of skill. In Mei-chan's case, she might overcome the skill gap with her brute force.

Can't be helped then, I'm next.

The one who offered himself next was Ueda's buddy, Nakai.

Perhaps because Mei-chan really wanted to fight Souma-kun, she looked rather reluctant when she handed over the chance to challenge Souma-kun to Nakai.

Sure. Come what may, I'm ready.

Don't underestimate Warrior. We can use the sword just as fine as a swordsman.

In this way, the match against Souma-style had begun.

Naturally, almost everyone got one-shotted.

I see, this kind of unexpected development happened, huh.

On one side was Master Souma who trained his pupils with zealed passion, on the other was my real body that I led to learn alchemy. Everybody was finally done with drawing perfect Simple Alchemy Formation and ready to invoke it.

Now the problem would be when activating that alchemy formation.

But well, this can be considered as half successful, right?

Inde I mean, maybe.

In regard to alchemy, it seems the effect depends on each individuals attribute.

This was one of the rarest moments where I agreed with Sakura-chan's opinion. Well, considering the result, everyone would most likely agree with her.

The result was, everyone succeeded in activating the formation. No one gave the reaction I wanted to see. The reason? Well, maybe because everyone had their own attribute.

The result of the invoked alchemy was varied, it was completely dependent on their own attribute.

Freezing Alchemy FormationAlchemy for ice attribute.

Water Alchemy FormationAlchemy for water attribute.

Iron Ore Alchemy FormationAlchemy for earth attribute, increased effect of alchemy when used on minerals.

Light Alchemy FormationAlchemy for light attribute, can add tiny bits of light spirit.

Everyone ended up having their own alchemy path.

Rather, everyone learn a new skill like it's no big deal.

It might be possible to learn it anytime if this kind of chance always exists.

We've been sorcerers for quite a while, after all. Perhaps we have simply fulfilled the learning condition along the way.

Surely, I had such an experience too. I got this feeling that I would've learnt it quickly had I used my Fool's Cane much earlier.

Excuse me~, my alchemy formation looks like a normal one with no special effects.

No way, even if it's just Himeno-san who can invoke the Simple Alchemy Formation, it's a big deal. You're ready to use the asset.

For some reason, Himeno-san could invoke the normal Simple Alchemy Formation just like me.

Perhaps because she was quite unremarkable and was not biased towards any attribute. Or maybe this was the trait of her being aHealer, or Kin, or both.

I still had some doubts as to whether Himeno-san was truly a Kin or whatever, but being able to successfully activate alchemy formation meant that her ability wasn't that much different from us. This training might instantly turn into a witch trial if she needed fresh blood to invoke alchemy formation though.

That's why I felt relieved since such internal trouble was the one thing I wanted to avoid at all costs in our current situation.

Whichever the case, seeing that Himeno-san could use Simple Alchemy Formation meant that it was time to put her into a working environment immediately. Let her learn by working. Yup, time to make a working shift for her.

Well then, everyone, now let's confirm everything that each of your alchemy formations can do. Himeno-san's first job is to separate the impurities in the light stone thats already been mined a bit too much over there.

Eh, uhm, what should I d

You have to start with trial and error, ask me if there's something that you don't understand. Well then, let's start with Class Reps cool sounding's Freezing Alchemy Formation.

Please don't phrase it as if its only trait is having a cool name. I kinda get why it feels like that though.

As expected, I was also curious about what a unique alchemy skill such as Freezing Alchemy Formation could do.

Thus, we tried the freezing alchemy on the prepared material while having such expectations.

Uhm, this is seriously only making it cool

That was the only thing that came to my mind upon seeing the result of the experiment; even Class Rep ended up looking dejected by this result.

Well, sometimes things like this happen, so cheer up, Class Rep.

Don't beat around the bush, just tell me the truth, Momokawa.

Maan, I'm looking forward to seeing if the others also have the same trash skill as Class Rep.

My joy was doubled or tripled since I had also experienced the same kind of frustration with my shaman vocation in the early stage.

Well, the next one please prepare yourself.

M-My Water Alchemy Formation ain't trash skill!

Looking at the sad result of Class Rep's skill, Shimokawa invoked his Water Alchemy Formation with a slightly nervous look on his face.

And the result was

I see, in the case of liquids, the degree of freedom is quite high.

Still, it ain't supposed to be used just to separate water and salt from seawater.

The trait of water alchemy was to freely separate the mixture inside the water body.

Just as Shimokawa had said, he could use this on seawater to separate the freshwater, salt, and other minerals in literally a second. This kind of component separation was something that the Simple Alchemy Formation couldn't achieve.

Though the Witch Kettle could get the salt from seawater, that was still through the evaporation process inside the kettle.

In that aspect, water alchemy could literally separate water from salt without such a process. In short, its forte lay in the point where it could directly manipulate the material.

Meaning that we could extract any material that we had no idea about from the liquid without having to make it go through a rigorous process such as centrifuging, distilling, freezing, or heating.
