All Warriors Are My Disciples

70. Hiding it

While the others work on building the encampment.

I took Iris and moved to find a quiet vacant lot.

There, Gerard and seven knights were already waiting.

“Master.”

As Gerard bowed his head, the knights followed suit.

I accepted the greeting and checked the status of the knights.

I can’t say that the combat power of each individual is very high.

Looking at it this way, it was clear that they had been working together for a long time.

“You seem to have sorted it out very thoroughly, Gerard.”

“Obvious words. Master asked you to do it, so can you afford it?”

“I’m a little worried because I think I did it right.”

Then Iris suddenly rolls her eyes and looks at me.

What exactly did you mean by those words?

“Are you looking at this teacher because you didn’t know, Iris?”

“Yes, I’m not sure? Why are you looking at me like that?!”

“Isn’t that obvious? Right now, starting today, I’ll go into bedtime. Isn’t it precisely because I saw you entering before the end?”

“hahahaha?! Do you think I can’t stand this test?!”

At Iris’ cry, the knights’ expressions hardened slightly.

Come to think of it, those knights still don’t know that Iris is a hero.

She’s my disciple. I know she’s a naked woman, but now she’s just a girl.

She is also a guy who doesn’t have a serious look and even looks quite light.

It must be a bit difficult for them to think of themselves as warriors.

“Gentlemen.”

“Yes!”

As soon as I summoned the knights, they seemed to be in high spirits.

Unlike the gaze he gives to Iris, he takes the utmost respect for me.

From noble mtl dot com

Did he feel something when he saw Gerard serving him respectfully?

Hey, he’s the Guardian Warrior that they serve so faithfully.

If you were to be that hero’s teacher, it seems like he would serve you even if you didn’t like it.

“I will say it just once, without a single lie. This guy standing next to me is also a hero.”

“… ?”

Then the knights looked at Iris in unison.

From the look in his eyes, I get the feeling of ‘really?’ Or ‘that girl?’.

Luckily there is no ignoring energy, just pure surprise.

To be honest, Iris doesn’t feel as mature as Iris or Gerard.

Because her younger side is bound to be highlighted.

I didn’t think their reaction was strange.

“It hasn’t been long since I’ve completed my duties as a hero. Right, Gerard?”

“Yes. The youngest still has a lot to learn.”

“Did you all hear? So I hope that no one will be complacent or careless.”

“….”

“Also, there is nothing to hurt his pride just because seven sturdy knights attack a girl all at once. I’m sure you all understood what I was saying?”

All the knights nodded at my words.

You must already think that you are strong just by being my disciple.

There, Gerard and I came forward and even mentioned that we were ‘heroes’.

At that level, the knights would judge it to be a formidable enemy.

Now, it doesn’t matter if the other person is a child or a woman.

Because the existence of a hero is different from ordinary people.

“The matchup is simple. Iris alone. Gentlemen at the same time. Start a battle and get your opponent to surrender by any means. Minor cuts and injuries are also acceptable. There is nothing to worry about, as we will stop those that can cause fatal wounds. Do you all understand?”

“Yes, Master!”

“Yes! Everyone understood.”

“Then let’s start slowly.”

After taking a few steps back, the knights immediately formed a formation.

They have sturdy physiques and are fully equipped with armor.

If you make a gin with a shield on top of that, the sense of intimidation it gives is tremendous.

Those who have seen some of these scenes in games or movies.

You might ask what’s so scary about people approaching me with a shield.

That sounds stupid. If you haven’t experienced it, you don’t have the right to speak.

Only those who have experienced it can understand the trembling fear and suffocating pressure.

I am alone, but my opponent is far ahead of me in numbers.

If you think that a wall with a sparkling brilliance and steel-like hardness is approaching.

It’s to the point where quite a few people take a step back without even realizing it.

“….”

However, Iris doesn’t look like that at all.

Against sturdy knights and huge shields approaching him.

I rather stare at them with an appearance that is not intimidated in the slightest.

At that point, I realized once again that he was definitely a ‘regressor’.

“What do you think, Master?”

“… Iris is stronger than she looks. Her heart is not tender.”

Because I can’t tell Gerard about the regression.

That’s why I’m just saying that Iris’ original appearance is like that.

“I guess so. As you can see, the opponents are at least one head taller than you. They are equipped with armaments, form camps, and come under siege, but they do not seem to shrink at all.”

“You can say that the momentum is good. But that’s not all, so that’s a problem.”

If I was worried about the psychological part, I wouldn’t even use this method.

What I’m concerned about is Iris’s current physical condition.

If she had regressed, she would have brought her memories and experiences back then.

But of course you can’t bring your body with you.

So it’s only natural to know that and become stronger as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, Iris’ ability to grow wasn’t very high in my opinion.

Perhaps he received some kind of penalty for the weapon of regression.

If you go back to nothingness after going through a lot of time and barely getting stronger.

No matter how much memory and experience you have, the limits will be clear.

“I have to become stronger. Faster, more effective.”

“Didn’t you teach her youngest son how to practice that?”

“It is true. However, unlike you guys, the speed at which you get it is quite slow.”

“… That’s strange. All the warriors, including myself, have become stronger thanks to that.”

The warrior characters each had almost the same passive.

Should I say that it is a modified version of the Heavenly Demon Spirit, which is said to have been created after being taught by the Heavenly Demon NPC?

Originally, the Heavenly Demon, my master, taught them directly.

I intervened in the middle process and replaced them.

Thanks to that, I become the warrior’s teacher, and the teacher is no longer bothered by anything.

The warriors were able to become stronger faster and more effectively, so it’s like killing three birds with one stone.

But Iris doesn’t have such a passive?

Or did you mean something completely different?

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t seem to get stronger as quickly as the other students.

“Master. It looks like we will collide soon.”

About Gerard’s words, almost at the same time.

Iris threw herself at the knights without hesitation.

Looking at it roughly, it seems that the body has been strengthened by the practice method.

Otherwise, I can’t just run into a huge steel wall like that.

Kwaang!-

“Kuh?!”

Of course, it was the knights who sighed spontaneously from their lips.

It’s Iris who is smaller than them and looks younger.

The moment he hit the shield, it must have felt like a rhinoceros running into it.

“Pressure!”

When the knight who appears to be the leader gives the order, the knights form a semicircle around her and surround Iris.

The pressure to be careful wherever you attack.

There, Iris did not shrink in the slightest.

After all, the most vulnerable place is the tip.

If you focused on that part, you could immediately break down the encirclement or whatever.

“Forward!”

But if Iris knew it, the knights knew it, too.

If the opponent doesn’t break through head-on, there’s only one place to aim for.

It is impossible not to know that it is the corner of the formation.

When Iris tries to do something, he increases and decreases his formation to press.

If a colleague is attacked, the nearby personnel defend together.

The rest aim for Iris’ side or behind to prevent further attacks from her.

It will be a completely different aspect from fighting demon worshipers.

They just had the intention of harming her Iris unconditionally.

Although there was no cooperation or harmony between each other.

Those knights work together to defeat Iris.

Ten people moving as one are more terrifying than a hundred individuals.

And those ten are much stronger than a hundred.

That’s right!-

Iris stepped back slightly and glanced at the knights.

It’s the same no matter where you hit the center as well as the corners.

The seven knights are like Gerard’s chosen ones.

He steadily pushed Iris without giving any gaps.

We know that simply overpowering by force is not the best strategy.

It’s not just about draining your stamina in this way.

At the same time, it’s enough to give them psychological damage and make them collapse on their own.

The knights are putting pressure on Iris with that in mind.

“Isn’t the youngest one yet to have a set weapon?”

Gerard, who was looking at the situation blankly, asked.

Guardian warrior Gerard himself is a shield.

Iris, a combative warrior, has only her hands and feet.

And the other warriors each have something steadfast.

Iris was the only one who didn’t see anything unusual, so she seemed to be asking that question.

“First of all, I thought it was a bit like handling a sword, so I taught it.”

“… It’s not that I can’t handle a sword. What should I say?”

“There is no strong feeling like Garam, are you saying this?”

“Exactly. It’s just not much different from the knights.”

At that, I nodded.

That’s true, because Iris doesn’t have anything solid like the other disciples.

All I had to do was swing the sword next to me after watching Master and I use the sword.

“I don’t think the youngest will lose easily, but I don’t think he will win easily either.”

“Unless you touch something new.”

At that moment, Iris launched another fierce attack.

It’s threatening, but it’s unlikely to do any real damage.

Even so, Iris beat the knights with tremendous momentum.

“If you do that, your stamina will be exhausted quickly.”

“… Gerard. Take a good look.”

Iris’ aura was much stronger than before.

Although he said that his stamina consumption was getting worse when he swung his body roughly.

The internal energy that should have been consumed in the same way is rather denser.

Whoa!-

Iris exhaled heavily and glanced at me.

Then she turns her eyes again to stare at her knights.

“Everyone should be nervous.”

“….”

“Now I feel like my body is getting some blood.”

A haze rises from Iris’ hand as she said that.

The moment you think, ‘Could it be that guy?’.

The haze soon begins to take shape, albeit blurry.

“….”

I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw it.

Such a cute guy, I can’t believe he’s been trying to hide that one thing all along.

“… Like that stupid disciple.”

“Master?”

“I was fooling even my teacher with useless things.”

Why does my skill not improve even though I put in so much effort?

As for that part, looking at the situation, I seemed to have found a rough answer.

It was only natural that all the time and sweat that had been poured into it had gone into that place.

Shaaa!!-

With a sword in one hand and a halo in the other.

Iris is Fuu! And let out a rough breath.

“Let’s finish this quickly. Knights.”
