Raising Paladins

Episode 50. If you really want to drink punishment (3)

Grom was the first to be targeted by Meisa.

Whoops! right!

“evil!”

Grom, who had been hit right on the crown by the wooden sword, staggered.

‘I’ve seen it… … ?’

Grom joined as a squire relatively late and lacked swordsmanship training compared to Daryl and Peter.

However, I was thinking that I had learned the basics because I had worked hard day and night for the past few days.

In addition, he has good physical strength and size, and has a good fighting sense!

However, he couldn’t avoid Meisa’s standard slash attack just now.

“Grom! Wake!”

right!

“evil!”

One more!

The corners of Maysa’s mouth went up slightly.

“At this point, there’s nothing more I can do. How about just the three of us fighting at once?”

“This child… … !”

Meisa’s Provocation!

Daryl and Peter were irritated at her spicy tongue, which contrasted with her beautiful appearance.

“let’s go!”

“Yes, brother!”

Tadat!

Three attacking at the same time.

However, Maysa was still only relaxed.

Squeak!

Maysa wrapped her right foot in a wide circle, drawing a semicircle on the floor.

The basic countermeasure in many-to-one battles!

The green semicircle was within reach of Meisa’s wooden sword.

It was a very standard response method, defeating the first opponents who entered it one by one.

“Hoo… … .”

When Carl saw Meisa like that, he admired a little.

I thought it was just a noble young lady who grew up learning swordsmanship for fun, but it turned out to be more serious than I thought.

However, because he had not yet grasped her true identity, Carl watched the confrontation in silence.

right! right! right!

“Ah!”

“Such a mouse!”

Although they obviously attacked at the same time, the timing of the attacks inevitably differed slightly due to the different swordsmanship proficiency and physical strength of the three people.

Meisa aimed for that, cut off the incoming wooden sword, hit it, hit it again, and hit it again.

Moreover, Peter and Grom’s kick attacks missed every time because of how nimble they were.

“aaa!”

Finally, unable to hold back his temper, Grom threw away the wooden sword he was holding and spread his arms.

At the same time, he lunged at Meisa like an angry bear.

After hugging him tightly, he intended to subdue him with strangulation.

It was a special technique that Grom used often in street fights.

A technique that believes in one’s own size and strength!

But it didn’t work for Maysa.

“It doesn’t work like that!”

With one foot back, the side holding the sword slightly forward, making the body perpendicular to the opponent.

Then, hold the wooden sword in one hand in front of you.

Finally, focus your mind on the tip of the sword.

“Ha!”

ping!

Meisa kicked off the ground with her hind feet and was shot at the speed of an arrow.

The tip of her extended wooden longsword stabbed Grom right under the throat as he charged.

“Ouch!”

Courage!

There was silence for a while in the backyard of the temple.

The three men were a little behind in the beginning, but I thought it would be over soon since Grom’s special move came out.

Unexpectedly, however, Meisa, smaller and more slender than the three men, knocked Grom down in one blow.

All the servants gasped in surprise.

Daryl and Peter were the same.

“this… … !”

Peter gets excited when his colleague Grom collapses.

He powerfully swung his wooden sword in both directions and attacked Meisa.

But this time, Meisa calmly examined the trajectory of her opponent’s weapon before responding with a single thrust.

“Ouch!”

fluff.

After all, Peter collapses helplessly.

Now there was only one thing left.

He was honestly admiring Meisa on the inside.

‘It was a mistake to ignore her because she was a woman. I wasn’t selected as a combat priest for nothing.’

It was his honest heart.

woman, nobility.

Because he grew up in a noble family, he wouldn’t have any fighting spirit.

Also, since she’s a woman, of course she won’t be able to fight.

I also felt a bit resentful of Carl telling the first three men to deal with Meisa.

One wasn’t right now.

“Did you say Meisa-sama?”

“is it so.”

Obviously, one is a nobleman, and the other is an orphan.

However, after seeing Daryl’s calm eyes, Meisa did not treat her carelessly.

“I apologize, Miss Meisa.”

“… … ?”

“Honestly, at first, I ignored Meisa-sama because she was a woman, and because she was wearing expensive armor, I thought she was an aristocrat. But that must have been wrong.”

“… … .”

“Still, since I knocked out two of my younger siblings, I can’t wait any longer. Can I pick up my favorite weapon?”

“Is that so?”

nod

Before Daryl could turn his head, Carl nodded in agreement.

Then, out of nowhere, a hatchet flew.

It was thrown by another seed that was being prepared in advance.

chuck!

Daryl threw away the wooden sword and moved a hatchet back and forth from both hands.

‘hmm… … .’

Seeing that, Meisa also took a step back.

It was because Daryl felt a completely different energy than when he had just raised the wooden sword.

That was different from the overwhelming strength I felt from Carl.

It felt like a master who had been trained for a long time in the dark world of back alleys.

In fact, Daryl had a lot of fun with that hatchet in fights with scavengers and other village gangs.

“Meisa, you can change your weapon.”

Carl, who was watching, said.

But Meisa shook her head.

“This is enough.”

“dare!”

Tadat!

Hearing that he would deal with the real blade, the hatchet, with a wooden sword, Daryl immediately jumped at her.

Unlike before, Daryl, who was holding a weapon he was familiar with, pushed Meisa with ferocity.

“Ohhh!”

The servants burst into admiration at the ax, which he swung wildly but accurately aimed at Meisa’s torso.

If you look at the whole species, Peter and Grom, who were older than you, were defeated, so it seemed like Daryl would have to win to feel better.

Booong! puck!

The ax hit the tree stump where Meisa was staying.

The moment Daryl hesitated for a moment at the deeply embedded axe.

Meisa, who was only dodging, suddenly changed and aimed for Daryl’s nape.

puck!

But it also missed, and the wooden sword hit the top of the tree trunk where the ax was embedded.

Daryl again pulled out an axe and attacked again, and Meisa repeated avoiding it.

“Dead!”

Daryl ran, raising an ax at Meisa, who was cornered in the garden.

Full up!

“Kyaa!”

Tira’s scream echoed soon after!

but.

“Ouch… … .”

The moment I thought everyone was over, when I came to my senses, Meisa was already out of the corner of the garden wall.

Conversely, Daryl was frozen in the corner as he had fallen out of thin air.

dump.

Clink!

As Daryl fell, a small throwing dagger landed nearby.

Meisa had hit Daryl’s stomach in the air with the handle of his dagger, knocking him out.

“After deliberately pretending to be driven into a corner to keep them off guard, when Daryl showed a big move, he finished it off with his specialty, throwing. It was a great move. Let everyone remember.”

“Ahh… … .”

The servants nodded at Carl’s words as they watched.

In fact, the servants couldn’t even see what was going on.

“I used it because it seemed to be in a state of excitement.”

“It was a good choice.”

Carl came over and held out the handkerchief Tira had given him.

Meisa then wiped the perspiration from her forehead with a handkerchief.

“Are you accepting me as the battle priest of the Meirium Temple now?”

“of course. Because it is a promise.”

Carl shows a small smile on his lips.

Then Maya smiled brightly.

I was happy to think that I had finally become a member of the same temple as the sword.

Carl, the only man he had ever seen in his life, except for his father, who could learn something from him!

I really wanted to learn his elegant yet powerful swordsmanship, so I chose Meirium Temple of Dawning rather than Tournoble, my hometown.

I was able to find out that he was here by asking Greg, who was Tournoble’s representative examiner.

At the time, Greg was very surprised when Meisa, who was sure to pass with a high score, wanted to be assigned to the Meirium Shrine.

But when he realized that the reason was the knife, he couldn’t help but nod.

He was one of the most brilliant applicants I’ve seen in decades.

If it’s swordsmanship, it’s swordsmanship, theology and history.

From Greg’s point of view, he decided that it would be good for him if Meisa, who was close to him, went to the Meirium Temple.

After all, it’s about making a connection with Carl, who is a great talent!

“By the way, Carl.”

“… … ?”

“As I said before, I want to learn swordsmanship from Carl. Will you allow that too?”

“hmm… … Let’s think about that some more.”

“Why? Did I beat all three of the people Carl taught?”

“They are also servants of the temple and aspiring battle priests, but they are not my official disciples.”

“… … .”

Carl and Meisa were commissioned as battle priests on the same day.

Now, the status of priest is the same, but there is nothing impossible to make as a disciple.

There’s no law that says the same priest shouldn’t do that.

But Carl thought that there must be a special bond between a master and a disciple.

From nob le mt l dot com

Just like the four paladins he taught in his previous life and who followed him until his death.

Meisa has only seen it twice now.

If she is someone who will truly become his disciple, there will definitely be some signs.

Because all four people I met in my last life were like that.

“Get rid of the defeated guys quickly.”

“Yes, priest!”

“Tell them that when they wake up, there will be special 1v1 training with me.”

“omg!”

Surprised attendants quickly picked up the three men who had collapsed and carried them to the hospital room.

As the atmosphere in the backyard calmed down, Clemens, Eric, and Tira approached from a distance.

“Miss Meisa! That’s amazing!”

“you’re right. This is the first time I’ve seen someone with such excellent swordsmanship skills, except with a sword!”

“Right, it was so cool!”

The three of them give compliments with sincerity without self-interest.

Meisa lightly lowered her head and replied.

However, one thing remained undecided until now.

“I… … What can I do?”

Meisa, who came to Mayrium for the first time today.

Wavoni Clemens is in charge of major matters as a high-ranking priest, Eric is in charge of temple administration, and Tira is in charge of taking care of the sick and various chores.

Needless to say, the sword is in charge of training the squire who will become the knights of the future.

Meisa was in a state where she didn’t know what to do here.

Then Carl asked.

“Did you bring all those weapons to use?”

Various weapons Meisa carried.

The sword pointed at a weapon such as a helberd, long spear, or crossbow with its chin.

“yes. I’m a little bit interested in weapons… … .”

Her interest is a little contrary to her neat appearance.

Ordinary men, when they found out that Maysa was friendly with such heinous weapons, quickly tried to stop her.

Lady asked what kind of risky behavior it was, and recommended that I learn knitting, embroidery, or painting that I could do at home.

But Meisa refused such boring hobbies.

The thrill of swinging metal while sweating!

And the pleasure of conquering an opponent was so good.

“Then would it be possible to make weapons? There is a lot of good wood in the temple, so can you make models of those weapons with it?”

“Why… … ?”

“As you saw earlier, Grom, Peter, and Daryl are learning swordsmanship, but they need their own special weapons. Everyone has different physical characteristics and personalities.”

“ah… … .”

“Would you like to craft weapons for them? Adjust the attitude of those who handle weapons for the first time.”

“I will!”

Meisa expected an awkward life like a rolling stone.

She quickly nodded her head at the role given to her.
