Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! (The Eminence in Shadow)

(11) Conflict is Interesting When You're Not Involved

Author: Aizawa Daisuke

"It's so wide..."

　I couldn't help but say that when I entered the first class of the Royal Capital Bushin Style. For example, it was a large gymnasium, naturally equipped with changing rooms, bathrooms, snack bars, and so on, and the door was a human-powered automatic door opened by a maid.

　By the way, Group 9 is outdoors on both rainy and windy days. There is no door, so there is no need for a maid. I quickly changed clothes so that I wouldn't get tangled up, and waited for Alexia in the corner.

　After a while,

"Would you like to relax your body?"

　And Alexia, who has changed into Bushin-style uniforms, appears.

　For women, it is a skirt with a deep slit, similar to an unadorned China dress. Color is black. Bushin's style divides strength by color, with black being the highest and white being the lowest.

　By nature, I was white, and I stood out as the only white person in this class. Ignoring the gazes of 70% hostility and 30% curiosity, I did a light dynamic stretch.

"Interesting"

　Alexia mimics my movements.

　Even in this world, it is widely known that it is good to relax before exercising, but the method of loosening has not been established, and everyone has their own way of loosening. A guy who is serious about sports and licking his stretches is sure to break his body. In this world, you can force yourself to do something with magic, but it still affects your performance.

It's good that Alexia is relatively aware of that. I am very knowledgeable when it comes to combat. I'm sure it won't lose to the taste I'm used to drinking on the west coast.

　While I was doing that, the class started.

"Today we have a new friend"

　And I was introduced to the advisor teacher.

"I'm Sid Kagenou. Nice to meet you."

　And they are exposed to gazes that do not even think of their companions.

　Oh, as expected of Group 1. If you look around, important people are everywhere. The handsome man over there is the second son of a duke, the beautiful man over there is the daughter of the current commander of the Knights of the Magic Sword, and the advisor's teacher is actually a swordsmanship instructor in this country. Moreover, he's still 28 years old and handsome with blond hair.

"Let's all get along, everyone"

　Practice starts with a feeling. Beginning with meditation magic power control, basic content such as swinging continues. Alright, the basics are important. If you swing a little in Group 9, you will become a sword. After all, the strong man took care of the basics.

　Well....... It can be said that the surrounding level is high and is a good environment without flattery. And, more than anything else, this Royal Capital Bushin style swordsmanship is very reasonable. It's great that you don't mind practicing.

"Do you like the Royal Capital Bushin style?"

　The handsome blonde adviser said. His name must be Zenon Glyph.

"Do I look like I do?"

"Oh, yeah, you look like you really enjoy it."

"That may be the case."

　Zenon-sensei laughed refreshingly at my answer.

"As you probably already know, Royal Capital Bushin style is still a new school that is breaking away from the previous one. So it can be said as the second school after Bushin style."

"I heard Sensei is also one of the swordsmen who liven up the Royal Capital Bushin style."

"Compared to Princess Iris, it's insignificant. But even so, I believe that it was I who adopted the Capital Bushin style. That's why when I see other people like this style, I get so excited that I can't help myself. Sorry to interrupt your practice"

　After saying that, Zenon-sensei went to meet another student. I know how he feels. Just I like Alpha holding my sword. My sword is something I make myself, and it is a special pleasure to be recognized and used by others.

"What were you two talking about?"

　Asked Alexia.

"About Royal Capital Bushin style."

"Hmm. Next time is a mass, so let's work together."

　'Mass' is a light combat style exercise. It was like checking technique and counterflow without hitting the opponent with each other's attacks.

"Isn't our mastery too far apart?"

"That, won't be a problem."

　We held a wooden sword and struck each other with a strange feeling.

　I swing the sword and Alexia handles it.

　On the contrary, Alexia sets it up and I deal with it.

　Attacks do not hit, movement is slow,

　I don't use magic too much.

　There were several groups around me that used their magic power to fight quite hard, but surprisingly Alexia seemed to agree with me. Rather than saying it suits me... maybe this is normal.  Trout just to make sure that skill, speed and strength are not required there. He clearly saw the purpose of his training.

　You can tell by looking at Alexia's sword.

　Everyone praised the abilities of her older sister, "Princess Iris", and it resounded throughout the kingdom. He was a genius, a genius, and was now said to be the strongest in the kingdom.

　On the other hand, his little sister Alexia is not very popular. She had magical powers, and her sword was straight, but she was far inferior to Princess Iris. This is Alexia's general opinion.

　However, when I confronted her like this, Alexia's sword was a normal good sword. Faithful to the basics, firm foundation, but sober. Yeah, it's sober. But that plainness is the result of hard work. The elimination of waste and the sharpening of the work is proof that the foundation has been built up step by step.

　Delta, take a good look. I talked to the beastwoman girl who held the unforgivable sword in my heart.

"Nice sword."

　Alexia said.

"Thanks"

"But, I don't like it."

　A style that lifts and then drops.

"I feel like I'm looking at myself. Shall we finish?"

　She says so and goes to clean up. It seems that the lesson is over.

　Contrary to most expectations, I was able to pass this class safely. Quickly clean up, change clothes, and run home with all your might.

"Wait  second."

　Or not.　

　Alexia grabbed me by the neck and took me away.

"So, is that your answer?"

　And for some reason Zenon-sensei is in front of me.

"Yes. I've decided to go out with him."

"You can't escape like that forever. You know that, right."

　Said Zenon-sensei with a stern look.

"Children don't understand the circumstances of adults."

　Says Alexia with a 'hohoho' laugh.

　I was already aware of this trend. The reason I was brought here, the reason why she decided to go out with me. While begging me not to get involved, I turned into the air and watched the two leading events.
