Chapter 242: The Difficulty is a Bit High
「——guuu」
「Master! Look at this ssu! I wasn’t sent flying ssu!!」
「So it seems.」
Nagini finally succeeded in blocking the boar.
She was perfectly unharmed.
「I was a little wary when that Ash said 『her training is finished. She should be sturdy enough for this』 but it really looks as if you’re doing alright.」
「Yes ssu! I properly learned my lessons from Shining Head Ash-san ssu! I’ve gotten stronger ssu!」
「Indeed. It looks like you aren’t having any difficulty even after coming in here.」
Just a few days ago her face had gone completely pale after only entering this far. Now she seemed perfectly fine.
「Now that you mention it….you’re right ssu! I can come in here normally ssu! Ahh this is so great….In comparison to taking those boar charges this kind of pressure is nothing ssu…really those guys were scary…too scary…..」
Nagini was trembling with emotion.
She must’ve been truly glad.
Hesty was next to me saying 『we, raised the difficulty a, bit too fast….but since she overcame it, everything, is alright.』 and nodded. Well as she said, it was fine since she had overcome this hurdle.
Nagini turned her teary but happy gaze towards me…
「Anyways I’ve completed this assignment Master! I’ve gotten sturdier so please train me plenty from now on!」
This meant that it was time for me to think up some new training for her.
「It’s just that I don’t know what I should be teaching you.」
Since before I’d been talking to Hesty and Ash to brainstorm ideas.
…..however, we had not been able to come to a firm decision on what we would have her do next.
As I was thinking…
「n, since then I thought, about it, but I think it’ll be fine if you just, show her how you live your life normally Daichi.」
Hesty said with some confidence.
「How I live normally? I usually just laze around and do as I please….」
「No, what you see as lazing around, even I see as using incredible amounts, of magic to make and, remodel things. If you demonstrate, she should be able to pick some, things up naturally.」
「…..is that really how it is?」
「It is.」
This kind of plan seemed sloppy, but I could sense the confidence Hesty had in this. Furthermore…
「Umm…me too. I want to see it…..」
Nagini murmured as she bashfully approached me.
「Hmm? Then I guess I’ll make something quick……Golem」
As requested I mobilized my magic and created a golem.
I created one that was approximately the same power as the one that saved Nagini during her boar practice.
「Eh?……u-umm, Master made the golem that can drive away those boars…in an instant…..」
「Oh that’s right, I’ve never shown you my creation process.」
Hesty was used to me making these things for training and other purposes so I thought it’d be fine to show it.
……though the only thing I needed for this was an image in my head and a keyword….
I realized that this might not have looked very impressive…
「Oh wow….Master using such amazing magic normally….incredible ssu! I’ll study it ssu!」
Nagini’s eyes sparkled. Her voice was bright and she seemed excited.
「Is that…so? Well if you can learn from it I don’t mind you doing so. But I don’t think that’s what you should be doing right now.」
「Huh?」
「n, Daichi’s right. This isn’t, the time to be acting excited Nagini.」
Nagini looked confused as she questioned Hesty.
「Umm? What do you mean ssu?」
「Well, next, you have to try fighting, the golem Daichi made.」
「…….eh?」
Nagini froze up upon hearing that.
In that instant she seemed to realize something and her eyes teared up.
「……umm isn’t that raising the difficulty too quickly…? I finally overcame my fears of the boar and now there’s something 10x scarier…..」
「Really? But Nagini, you have plenty of, courage so you’ll, be fine. Plus you have, various points to, improve. Your magic activation, is too slow. You don’t have to reach, Daichi’s instant cast speed, but precision and speed are, important. So facing this golem next, would be optimal. It should be perfect.」
Hesty said as she looked at the golem that appeared to be warming up by swinging its arms in the air. Its fists made wooshing sounds as they cut through the air…
「Eh……Nonononono! I’ll die from this you know!? Fighting this abnormally big and fast thing is too hard!」
「Eh? Is it really that fast?」
I checked its performance as it moved around in demonstration.
It appeared to be only so-so in performance amongst the golems I had made.
「Hesty told me a bit ago so I made sure it was softer so you could use it for pair practice.」
「Th-this is a bit…softer ssu?」
「Yep, I made sure to shave off any rough patches and soften it up a bit. It should be fairly soft to the touch.」
The hands and legs of the golem were mostly hollow so they were quite light. Hesty had asked me to specially make this one lighter but I think this kind of construction has its own merits. It feels like I could use this sort of construction to make a pillow or something. free(w)ebnovel.com
I thought as Hesty looked at the golems movements and nodded.
「That’s right. Daichi’s golems, have incredible efficiency and, ability so this one, is comparatively lower and, easier…..well you won’t die. We’ve properly, adjusted the difficulty.」
「U-uuu….if you say so then…I’ll try my best ssu! I won’t die at least…!」
「Your only evaluation is whether or not it’ll kill you…well you don’t need to be so tragic about it, it’s a pretty easy golem so you’ll be fine.」
To accompany my words the golem nodded and made an okay symbol by putting its arms above its head. It seemed to be trying to prove that it was a nice golem.
「See? I ordered to hold back a bit so don’t worry and just go at it casually.」
「O-Okay ssu! I’ll casually….go at it full force like my life depends on it ssu!」
She gave a strange answer that made me wonder if she really understood what I was saying.
Anyways, after receiving advice from Hesty we had started on the second phase of Nagini’s training.
